 Gardeners in the north us- ually make two or three suc- cesSive paintings of spinach at in- tervals of about a wek, but plant ings made after the first of June probably will not thrive in summer heat.
 During late summer, plantings may be made again and continued until about six weeks before the usual date of the first killing frost. Tn the South, on the other hand, spinach planting are generally

MARKERS MUST BE
 PAINTED OUT NOW

Boston, March 11-(UP)-Hun- dreds of official and private air markers throughout New England must be painted out immediately, Joseph M. Loughlin, regional civil ian defense director, said today.
 Loughlin advised New England state defense councils of a war de- partment order to remove all mark CTS within 150 miles of the coast. These markers, which might aid en- emy raiders, include painted arrows, mileage circles and names on build ings, barns or hangars.

made from early fall to late spring, and discontinued, as in the North, during the hot mid-sum- mer months.
 Long Standing Bloomsdale is the recommended spinach variety for most soil and climate condi- tionS. About 1-2 to ounce of seed will plant enough spinach to sup ply the entire family. When the weather become too warm for continued spinach plantings, many gardeners spade under the res- idue, prepare a fresh seedbed, and plant a few rows of beans.

By NEA Service
 Tn the northern half of the colin- try, spinach is among the first crops and ang ra gnanadetaoinstaoletet thta can be planted in the home garden in spring, Tn fact, it may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked and good seedbed prepared.
 The crop is one of the richest garden sources of vitamins A and 0, and is very high in the mineral iron. In addition, two vitamins of the B group, "thiamin and ribo- flavin, are both found in spinach In goodly amounts, 50 1t ranks with collardS, kale, turnip greens and beet greens as one of the best all-around vtamin and mineral bearing vegetables.
 SPINACH REQUIRES
 SWEET" SOIL
 Spinach has three important soil requirements. The soil must be fer tile, well drained and sweet (plenty of limestone). If these three re- quirements are met spinach will generally grow well on any type of soil where sufficient moisture is available.
 Tn the far South, spinach is grown principally as a winter crop, for 1t doesn't do well when the days are too hot, but farther north, where severe winter wealth CT kills 1t out, must be grown in spring and fall.
 Spinach Is usually planted in rows 8 to 12 inches apart with about 12 to IS seeds sown per foot of row. After the plants come through the ground, they are us- ually thinned so that there will be about two. inches of space be- tween plants for development. A bed five feet wide and 30 feet long with about 2 or rows running the length of the bed will furnish enough spinach for the averaged sized family.
 Spinach seed is generally plant ed in inch-deep furrows, and cov- cred with fine dirt not more than half an inch depe. Because spin ach requires a rich soil, about 8 pound of well-rotted manure per square foot and 3 to 4 pounds Of commercial fertilizer per 100 square feet should be applied

Training

Dr. and Mrs. w. L. Minear OF
Patagonia, formerly of Seattle, are
among Santa Cruz County aviation
enthusiasts to enroll recently for
pilot training with the new air
school at the Nogales international
Airport. The school is under the di-
rection of Jack Seanles and jim
Pierce who formerly operated an
aviation school on the coast where
civilian flying is now curtailed.
Mrs. Minear learned to fly in the,
Hawaiian Islands and held a solo
license which has since lapsed.
Pierce reports that in spite of long
layoff, the doctors wife is still a
very apt flyer, and in a short time
should regain her ability as pilot.
With the arrival of Arnold Peik
from the coast last week to serve as
instructor, the airport enjoyed a
marked increase in business Sunday
according to Searles.

Second Annual
Flower Show
May 3

AS preparations go forward for
the second annual Nogales Flower
Show, to be sponsored by the local
Rotary Club on May 8, members of
the committee in charge of the af-
fair are urging that care be given
to conditioning of flowers
This special conditioning will as
sure the exhibitor that his exhibit
will remain fresh during the entire
show.
The life of cut flowers depends
upon their ability to absorb and re-
tain sufficient moisture. With this
in mind, the exhibitor should water
the flower beds we'll and adequate
time in advance. The blooms should
he cut in the cool of the day-the
late evening, or preferably soon af-
ter sunrise. They should immedi-
ately be placed in water, which
should come up as high as the base
of the blooms and be kept in a cool,
dark place
Drafts, winds, and warm dry air
will tend to dry the flowers and
should be avoided.
With certain kinds of flowers,
special treatments may be given.
Poppies and other plants with a
milky juice should have the ends
burned at once to seal the stems.
Roses and other woody stems should
be cut on a slant to increase the
absorbing surface. Hardstemmed
plants like stocks and snapdragons
may have an inch of stem crushed
with a hammer to increase absorp-
ton.
Sprinkling the leaves and flowers
of roses, carnations and gardenias
with cold water or ice water will
harden the petals. Do not sprinkle
water on blossoms of lilies, sweet
peas, camellias, or orchids, as it
spots the petals.
! Removal of the foliage beE.W the
water line aids in keeping the flow
ers fresh, as those leaves decay.
Pills or chemicals added to the
water have no proven value in
lengthening the life of the flowers,
except as they prevent decay Of
leaves and stems under water.
1t has been pointed out that many
lovely arrangements may be made of
native material without using flow
ers. The descent and mountains
abound in pretty grasses, shrubs,
and gourds which are growing in
heir native state, and which the
law does not protect. These can be
used to excellent advantage in the
class set aside for them. Care
.hould always be taken by the ex-
hioitors, however, that they are US
ing maternal which is within the
law
