SEED SOWING

Some Of our annual flowers and vege-
tables grow very slowly in their early
stages and must be Sown indoors in
late February or early March in order
to reach blooming age in early Sum
mer. AS rule it is the small seeded
species like petunia that are slow in
starting Hence many home gardeners
plant seed of slow species in boxes or
pots in the house and have the little
plants ready for the cold frame when
late April and May bring favorable
weather.
1t is rather difficult to handle fine
seed because it must be covered very
lightly and in watering it is very
easy to wash the seed out OF place.
Green house growers usually SOW these
fine seeds on the surface of the soil
and lightly cover with fine sand and
then set the pot in pan OF water
until the whole mass of soil is soaked.
A pane of glass is then placed over
the pots to prevent the surface drying
too rapidly. For a few days until the
young plants appear, newspaper may
be laid on the glass. Seedlings are
very susceptible to rotting of at the
base and to injury from drying so that
watering is no easy task and should
be done in the morning rather than
evening so that the leaves may dry on
quickly.

GLASS FRAMES

Although hot beds of the old manure
heated type have become less Of fac
tor in the home garden operation, II
is surprising what proportion OF
suburban gardens have some sort OF
frame for growing young plants or for
protecting somewhat tender kinds.
Perhaps it is only an old window SASH
laid on frame Of four boards, but 1t
serves a definite purpose.
There are two main reasons why
plant raising on a small scale has de-
clined in Importance, the first because
suitable manure became very scarce
and the second because commercial
plant growers have learned how to sup
ply public demands. There is, however,
a certain fascination N operating
hot bed and producing ones own stock
of plants that Is not equaled by step
ping into a hardware or corner grocery
and purchasing stock.
Cold frames differ from hot beds
simply in the absence OF heating
medium such as fermenting manure
and often by being less substantially
constructed. Frames are built of con-
crete or boards. more orten boards, so
that they may be moved easily. Of late
years commercial gardeners have
come to build their frames in the form
Oh low IOOiCQ IlOttoe Will SdSl IOOl
and a small boiler for heat, creating in
effect q low cost greenhouse in which
men can stand erect and do necessary
wedding and watering In some places,
where electricity is very reasonable,
beds have been heated by resistance
units, but 1t is doubtful if such will
ever become common practice in this
locality.
Hot beds are usually built in dimen-
sions to accommodate glass sash feet
by 3 feet in size. Thus a l2x6-foot
bed would take four sash. The rear
board or sill is raised or inches
higher than the front, so as to allow
the water to run on freely, and as the
beds are usually faced toward the
south to obtain the full benefit of the
slanting sun rays of early Spring.
Before the glass is placed In posi-
ton, the manure heated bed is exca-
waited to depth of 10 to "a inches
and filled TO depth Of IS to 20 inches
with tightly packed horse manure, not
rotted manure but fresh, strawy mate
rial. Upon this is placed three or four
inches Of sifted soil and In two or

sey. The Chief red raspberry, developed
by the Minnesota Experiment Station,
has proved better in quality than
Latham and more resistant to mosaic
disease. The Viking red raspberry, bred
at Canadian experiment station, is
also very promising, and for these who
like blackcap raSpberrieS the Quilian
hasbeen found outstanding in disease
resistance
Because of tendency for blackcap
raSpberrieS to act as a reservoir OF REQ
mosaic disease, very disastrous to red
varieties. it is better not to plant the
two types in the same garden, but TO
select the preferred type and grow that
alone. Speaking of red raspberries. 1t
is strange that none Of the new Var1e-
ties possess that rare flavor OF the old
Cuthbert. Some of the younger varie-
ties have larger berries and are more
productive, but they do not, to the
writer's taste at least, have the appeal
ing quality of Cuthbert.
Several Of the States, including Mary
land. forbid the statement OF nitrogen
content of fertilizers in terms OF am
monia. This is a forward step and
should avoid some confusion because 1t
took 20 per cent of ammonia to equal
per cent of actual nitrogen and hence
led to misconceptions of the true value
of fertilizers.

CONGRESS TO RULE
ON PUEBLO LANDS
Faces Maze Of Old Grants
CIoudmg Titles in
New Mexico.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A comparative handful of Americas
bread Scres provides Congress with
vexing problem because title is clouded
in a historic maze Of treaties and laws
written first by Spain, then Mexico
and lastly by the United States.
These are the Pueblo lands cases Of
New Mexico, involving Indians whose
ancestors were there for centuries
past. and settlers Of Spanish or Mex
lean descent whose forefathers long ago
moved upon some of the acreage re-
served to the Indians in old treaties.
About 10000 persons are involved d.
rectiy or, roughly, one-tenth of the
States population, and about the same
percentage of its tfllable, agricultural
soil within disable distance of water.
Early Surveys Confusing.
Mixed up with the question is the
complicating factor in a number of
Spanish and Mexican lend grants ID
colonists and to the Indians. In the
rule of the thumb surveys of the early
colonization days, deeds were issued
that sometimes left several claiming
the same acre.
Some of the Spanish treaties with
Indians were dated in the sixteenth
century. But the nom Indian settlers
OF Spanish and Mexican blood point
out their great-grandfather lived on
the same ancestral soil they now
occupy.
This adverse possession for so long,
they notwithstanding in many in
stances the land originally was owned
by the Indians-entitles them to it or
to compensation. The disputes arose
occasionally before the United States
got New Mexico after the War With
Mexico, but have grown more serious
in recent years.
Congress moved in 1924 to settle
things. setting up the Pueblo Lands
Board to look into the claims and de-
eide on titles and water rights and fix
awards for land and water lost to
wind it up.
Board Ends Work.
The board passed out of existence
last Summer, its reports made amid
thousands of protests In its studies
the board went into 10 Pueblo grants,
involving 786,938 acres and 5,545
claims of non-Indians on 98,363 acres
For non-Indian settlers the board
held did not have title, it recommended
compensation aggregating S217, 900. But
1t hasn't been paid and ejectment suits
have been filed against many by attor-
neys for the Indians. Settlers are pro-
testing vigorously and are afraid of
losing their homes
Indians who were awarded $500, 900
for lost land are demanding roughly
S780,000 more, claiming in the main
they weren't given enough for water
they lost.
Bills to meet the Indians plea and
to give settlers $4,000 more and pay
it quickly are now before both houses,
which will be called upon. in substance,
to redetermine the larger phases of
the whole question

GARDEN ITEMS

Admirers of the late E. H Wilson,
famous plant explorer and horticultural
author, will be interested in a bio
graphical sketch of his life prepared by
Edward I. Harrington, secretary OF the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, en-
titled Ernest H. Wilson, Plant Hunter
In this book are listed most OF his plant
introductions. with accounts OF the dill
flcult Journeys involved in their col
lection. The text is finely illustrated
with views of plants and OF events in
cident to Dr. Wilson's travels.
Grapes should be pruned as soon as
possible now to lessen the hazard OF
bleeding of sap later on. And, too, the
sooner the plants are pruned and tied
to the arbor the less the danger Of in
Jury to buds when they first break into
shoots. In pruning the grape, it is well
TO bear in mind that each bud left on
last years wood will produce a new
cane, which In turn may carry several
clusters of fruit. Hence, 40 buds left
after pruning may mean many times
this number of fruit clusters. Bleeding
of sap Is not necessarily disastrous to
the vine, but it is certainly OF no bene-
fit and can be prevented by early prun-
ing, which allows the cut ends time to
heal In pruning the grape, it is well
to encourage the new canes that arise
near the base, with the purpose of slowly
renovating the vine-that is, replacing
the old wood with younger canes.
DaffodilS. crocuses and other Spring
flowers whose buds had actually
emerged from the soil suffered badly in
the belated freezes. There is nothing to
do about the situation except to realize
that the plant itself is probably little
damaged Oriental crab apples in which
the buds had opened sufficiently to eX-
pose the flower buds were killed and will
not bloom in 1882. Roses, on the other
hand. may be somewhat delayed, but
will undoubtedly push forth new leaves
ana Towering shoots. Despite definite
damage, the unwelcome spell of cold
has perhaps saved many trees and
plants which were on the point Of
emerging.
For those gardeners who enjoy testing
new fruits the following small fruits are
suggested for trial. The Blakemore,
Bellmar and Southland Strawberries,
bred by the Department of Agriculture
at its field station near Glendale, Md,
have received much commentator.
The Aberdeen strawberry has made a
very favorable impression In New Jer-
