TIPS to
Plan+ With Care

EXERCISE care in planting ana
~ also IN preparing to plant.
Though soil may be rich, it win
not produce as it should unless it
is prepared thoroughly.
A primary consideration In
planting is to have the soil favor
ably moist; damp, but not wet. Il
circumstances demand that you
plant when the ground is dry,
moisten trenches or drills before
dropping the seed.
To retain moisture after plant
ing, cover seeds Immediately with
fine earth and press down firmly.
Harold Coulter, vegetable ex-
pert of the Ferry Seed Institute,
advises that temperature be con-
sidered at the time of planting.
Too high a temperature is often
as detrimental to seed germina-
ton as one too low. A tempera-
ture between IS and IS degrees
is most favorable.
Soil must be loose so seeding
sprouts can push through, and
roots develop. Where the soil
forms a heavy crust, it may some
times be broken sufficiently to let
seedlings through by gently prick
ing the soil with rake.

bray, with rows of ricrac braid,
this dress will be so successful
that you'n use the pattern time
and again.
Graceful Afternoon FrOck.
An especially charming style
for luncheons, bridge parties and
club meetings. The full sleeves
make your arms look small, and
are very graceful in themselves.
Gathers at the shoulders create
necessary bust fullness. Make this
dress for now in silk print or chit
fon. Later on, in wolfe or summer
sheer it will be your coolest
dress.
Dress With Lengthening Panels.
The plain neckline, the slim
waist, snugged in by gathers, the
long panel, front and back, are all
beautifully slimming in effect. AL
in all, this dress is so smart that
it's certain to be one of your ia
vorites. This design adapts Itself
to so many materials-silk crepe
small-fgured silk print and, later
on, linen.
