Hints To Gardeners
By Lyman White -
Flos0er Expert
Ferry Seed Instituts
For Early Flowers

EARLIER blooming Of some OF the
IL popular garden flowers may be
obtained by planting them indoors
about six weeks before they are to
be set out in the open. They should
be placed outdoors, of course, only
after the ground has warmed and
all danger of frost is past.
A few of the flowers which may
be planted early indoors include the
delphinium, pink, gaillardia, lobelia,
myosotis, pansy, Iceland poppy,
saliva, stock and verbena.
The following may be planted in
doors a week or two later: Ager-
atum, snapdragon, aster, dahlia.
nicotiana. petuEia, phlox drum
mondi, salpiglossis. scabiosa and
vinca rosea.
Seed of these flowers may be oh.
tanned at your corner store at a
sufficiently early date to allow you
to give them an inside start.
Seed of other favorites, which
may be procured at the same time
but which should be saved for later
outside planting, include the sweet
alyssum, calendula, calliopsis, candy
tuft, four O'Clock, marigold and mas
turtium. These are earlier and
faster growing than the others.
For the inside planting, fill a
cigar box or florists flat" with
good. rich loan, covering the seeds
with thin sprinkling OF soil. The
boxes should have small holes
(about quarter-inch in diameter) in
the bottom so they may be set in
water and the soil moistene by
absorption
If the small plants are too thick,
some should be picked out. The
boxes should be placed in a sunny
window and kept at a temperature
of around 70 degrees.
If desired, the small plants may
be transplanted to pots or other
larger containers. Before setting
outdoors they should be hardened

Gold Mining Hit
New Peak In 1885

Last year, with its billion dollar
gold record, sow an increase in
mined gold of more than 30,O0o,-
600 ounces, 10 per cent over 1884.
In this rise South Africa was first,
Russian second, the United States
third, Canada fourth.
Australia is expected to join the
gold procession with new mines
now under development, erosion
said.
Discovery was reported of hun
dreds of new commercial uses for
diatomite, a white brick-like mate
rial which formed millions of years
ago when California was at the
bottom of the sea.
The diatomite is the bodies OF
masses of diatoms, shelled crea-
lures the size of pin points, which
live in all oceans, ancient and
modern. These shells, pressed into
solid mass of almost pure dia-
toms are found near Lompoc, Cal.
Henry Mulryan, of Lompoc, said
the outstanding use is as filter
material for chemical processes.
Diatomite is used to add smooth
ness to concreate and asphalt pave
ments, in paints and polishes, in
bricks and in building insulation
materials.

Doctor Urges
Criminals AS
Guinea Pigs

Columbia, S. C.,-The Tri-State
Medical Association received sug-
gestion that criminals be used fo1
experimental purposes in studying
pellagra.
DR.. Beverley Randolph Tucker Of
Richmond, Va, professor at the
Medical College of Virginia, pre-
cipitated lively debate among the
800 delegates from the Carolinas
and Virginia in convention here
when he advanced the suggestion
for human experiments.
Pellagra, skin disease, annually
causes from 5000 to 1000 deaths
in the South.
DR.. Tucker advocated that con-
victs volunteering to act as ''hu-
man guinea pigs be rewarded
activities. He said the disease is
generally not fatal if subjected to
the proper control and the prisoners
would recover.
Tucker poined out recent menin-
CITIES research work in St. Louis as
an example in which convicts were
used for experimental purposes.
The paper by DIR. Tucker which
advanced the suggestion expressed
the view that pellagra was probably
a virus infection. He compred
pellagra with other virus diseases,
such as small pox, encephalitis and
infantile paralysis.
The facts were based on an in
vestigation in the Southern States
which showed the deaths from pei
lagra in he South were far more
during the years of prosperity,
1926-29, than in the subsequent
depression.
