TIPS to
Young Garden Care

THE value of a garden plant,
L vegetable or flower, depends
greatly upon the start it gets; so
give the seedlings ample care.
Begin cultivation as soon as
rows are visible, if the soil is not
wet. Work close to the small
plants, cultivating shallower as
they grow to avoid injury to root
growth.
Cultivate at least once week.
Watering should not be neces-
sary the first week or ten days
after seeds have sprouted. Later,
young plants may be watered one
of two ways: Mark a shallow
trench about four inches from the
row and run it full of water. Or,
using fine spray, apply water
from directly above plants. Wa
tering is most effective when it
closely follows cultivation.
Small plants should be thinned,
as directed on packets, to allow
proper development. Certain veg
etables may be used as thinned.
For instance, onions thinned may
be used as green onions, and let
tuce may be picked for immediate
use, leaving smaller leaves to de-
velop.

Orchids and Other Plants Are Help to
Prospectors in Finding Deposits of Ore

Prospectors for iron ore, though
they may be hard-boiled and wealth
erbeaten, may have to know their
orchids and have some knowledge of
botany, says Steel Facts.
In many regions in this country
and others distinctive vegetation
definitely indicates a soil condition
associated with deposits of iron ore,
and knowledge of this fact helps
the prospector.
In Brazil and Venezuela iron is
found where a certain type of rare
and beautiful orchid blooms. In the
latter country, moreover, the pres
ence of little tree called the ''co-
pey" invariably indicates iron ore
deposits.
The ore deposits of Cuba support
a heavy growth pine, and partly
because of this Columbus is said to
have discovered iron on his first
voyage to the New World. One of
his ships was forced to put in to
the north coast Of the island to refit
a broken mast, and beneath the pine
tree which was cut down for a new
mast ore was found.
In the Lake Superior and in the
New York state iron regions of this
country the botanically minded
prospector is less fortunate. In pre-
historic times huge ice sheet

CHAPTER VII

Looking back on that summer
over span of years, it seemed to
Leonora Mason the most tranquil
of her entire life. For Don, the
adventurer, was too spent to be rest
less. He wanted only the healing
peace of woods and rocks and white
capped water, these and-Nora!
Slowly, steadily. his lost weight
came back. His skin darkened to
its accustomed tan. His buoyant
step which the girl had missed so
sorely, returned also, though,
strangely perhaps, this was the last
thing to mend.
It was Don who instructed his
wife in the art of cooking.
"Not that l mind being chef to
the Queen of Hearts," he told her,
''but you've got to learn, Madam.
Come times when your man gets
home after hard days work he'll
want his dinner. But wouldn't be-
gin with soups, if ! were you," he
added cautiously. 'That tomato
bisque-"
Laughter sprang into his eyes as
they met hers; and Nora said: "You
were a hero to swallow it! My ia
Their would have thrown the whole
mess out the door. Do you suppose
I'll ever, ever learn, DOM"
She looked so like troubled lit
tie girl, this usually sophisticated
