Victory Gardeners Must
Learn the Seed Sowing Art

When Victory gardener buys a
packet Of seed. usually it bears
terse directions, such as Sow in
the open ground when the weather

which differ from the true leaves
Of the plant. which appear later.
Sometimes the stored food supply
is missing in seeds. The whole is
surrounded by a more or less hard
and thick shell or coating.
Under proper condition. the en-
byro escapes from this protecting
cover and the mature plant results.
The escape is called termination.
At the start of termination, the
primary parts that later become
root and stem thrust through the
seed covering. the root turning
downward and the stem upward.
Moisture and temperature are the
two factors that must be consid-
cred in successful seed sowing.
In the mechanics of seed SOW
Jig. the first point TO observe Is
never to bury the seed too deeply
in the soil. II planted too deeply
il may be smothered before ii can
find strength to thrust through the
soil. eXhausting all the stored food
supply of the seed in the effort.
Deep sowing is a most frequent
mistake and the commonest cause
of poor success with flower seeds.
Cover small flower seeds with their
own depth of soil This 10 the best
rule of thumb. Tiny seeds merely
lie on the surface.

is warm" Sow in heat" etc.
They sound simple enough, but one
accustomed to sowing seed would
hardly agree that it is as simple as
il sounds.
Seed sowing is quite an art in
itself, easily learned. but details
must be observed for full success.
Probably more seed is wasted
through poor methods or careless
work in sowing than from any
other reason. Knowledge of cor
rect methods of seed sowing I'M
doubtedly would increase the good
reputation of seedsmen, who are
all too often blamed for i'll success.
The seed in its function as the
originator of plant life 10 a small
body, often very tiny one. which
contains a microscopic plant called
the embryo with a quantity of food
matter stored in the seed and often

Exemption Bill
Shelving Is Asked

to Chairman Robert L. Doughton
of the house ways and means COM
mittee.
The bill would exempt all war
contracts from sales taxes, ad
valorem taxes. income taxes, etc.
Of the states and localities.
The association points out that
the exemption proposed would ac-
centuate what il already wide
spread difficulty in our public
revenue system and that as war
activities are extended it would
gravely affect state and local reve-
nues. 1T would be much better
accounting. and certainly much
less disturbing to state and local
tax systems if no such bill were
passed" the letter TO Chairman
Doughton states.
The association and the National
Council of Real Estate Taxpayers,
pointing out the close inter-rela-
tionship OF the national-state-local
tax structure. have asked congress
in view of the necessity for great
~ increased federal taxes to adopt
a national tax policy that will take

"Call of the Canyon" which opened at the Strand Theater to- day for a four-day run, presents Gene Autry as spokesman for a group of cattlemen who leads them in rebellion when the Jackson Pack ing Company, through its agent, Thomas Mccoy, offers only $65 8 head for their cattle although the Cattlemen's Association has agreed on e8O. Unbeknownst to Autry and the other ranchers, Mccoy is heav- fly involved in horseracing debts to e gangster. .bookle. and while Johll- son himself, the head of the pack ing company, is willing to pay Q fair price for the cattle, Mccoy plots to underbld his own employer and appropriate the balance to cover his gambling debts.
 Into the ensuing turmoil comes a pretty girl, played by Ruth Terry. She has sold Johnson 6 radio pro- gram for his packing company to sponsor, and lnasmuch as her pro- gram involves western songs, she has to journey westward to find the necessary ''Talent" to make good Johnson, too, travels westward, and, learning how he is being vic- timized by his agent, Mccoy, takes an active hand in setting matters straight with the ranchers who, through McCoy's treachery, believe him to be dishonest.
