REVIVAL SERVICES
AT FIRST CHURCH

The Revival Services which
began last Sunday at the First
Methodist (Stone) Church cnotin-
ues to gain momentum with the
Rev. Love B. Harrel of Trion, Geor-
gia, delivering some of the most
forceful, dynamic gospel mes
sages heard in Key West in many
years.
speaking to most appreciative
audience last evening, the Rev
Harrel brought home to his listen
ers most wildly the truths con-
tapped IN the Scripture Text.
whatsoever Man Soweth, That
Shall He Also Reap" During the
course of his message the speaker
emphasized the fact that Gods
world IS one of order and not a
madhouse of uncertainties. If a
farmer plants the seed of corn he
can rest assured that the orderly
laws of nature will grant him a
harvest of corn and not one of
wheat or rye or oats. Likewise, in
the spiritual realm, he who sows
to the flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption but he that sows to the
spirit shall of the spirit reap life
everlasting.

Forced Bulbs
Can Be Revived

Plants once forced need not be
thrown away. If they are kept
well-watered until leaves turn vel
low (Which shows their resting

sionally with liquid manure, they
will be able to store up food for
the next blooming time.
When warm weather comes
plant them directly in the ground
or store in their pots in cool
room for the summer. Then when
fall comes the hardy ones may be
planted in the garden and the
tender ones. like freesias, repotted
for another forcing.
The only bulbs usually forced to
which this does not apply are the
paper white narcissi and the yell

a great deal of time to bring these
bulbs back TO life.

Best Varieties
OF Shade Grass

Grass often fails 10 grow in the
shade because il does not gel
enough food-the trees take al
the nouriShment from the soil. The
cure for this is systematic feeding
and watering Of the grass, with
the knowledge that the trees will
take a good share OF any fertilizer
given TO the grass under them.
Best grass varieties for shade
are seed mixtures containing
Chewing's feScue and Poa trivialis
with a base of fescues and rough
bluegrass.
1t is sometimes possible TO grow
grass under trees by a little judi
cious trimming of the trees TO
make them branch higher and so
admit more light and air to the
grass.
In the event of unavoidable
deep shade. give up the idea Of
growing grass at all and substitute
myrtle (Vinca minor or Towering
spurge (Pachysandra terminalis).

Let's Garden
Ru PERRY BOWSER
BY PERRY BOWSER
Home Gardening Specialist. Michigan State College

DLANTS are like humans, they need
l food.
But in the case Of plants, il is plant
food IN chemical form that is used by grow
ing vegetables Elements usually lacking
in soils are nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium. Other elements usually are
present or can be obtained by the plants
from the air.
Victory gardeners in 1943 are fortunate
that commercial fertilizer containing
nitrogen is available Supplies, however,
are limited since much of the country's
nitrogen supply is going into munitions.
That is why the 1913 fertilizer contains
the 3-S-7 formula. In every 100 pounds
there are three pounds of available nitro
gen, eight pounds of phosphorus and seven
pounds of potassium.
How much is needed for a small
garden?
The special 3-S-7 fertilizer will be
available in 5, 10. %. 80 and 100-pound
packages according to federal regulations.
On plot 10 by 20 feet there is 200 square
feet needing five to six pounds of this
$751; plot 25 by so feet would have
1850 square feet and would need 80 to 40
pounds.
Gardeners who can get stable manure
will help their plots by an application when
the soil is being prepared. The manure
should be broadcast before blowing or
spading, 80 pounds to each 100 square feet
or each 10 by 10 foot portion of the
garden.

Prune Climbing Rose,
Early in The Season

Pruning climbing roses Is easy
early but harder when the leaves
have come out.
All dead wood should be re-
moved first. Then one or two OF
the Oldest and heaviest canes
should be cut to the ground
Young slim shoots should be care
fully guarded during the pruning
process because the flowers for
the years ahead come from them.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-03-14

Manure lacks phosphorus. Instead of
the complete fertilizer. the manure is
supplemented by broadcasting two pounds
of 20 per cent phosphate fertilizer or 0-20-0
to each 100 square feet working this into
the soil with hoe or rake before smoothing
for planting.
This rate is the one used for heavy
clay soils. On light. sandy soil the same
amount of 0-14-14 fertilizer should be
applied. no nitrogen, but II per cent
phosphorus and IA per cent potassium.
Practically all vegetables are bene-
fitted by having the soil neutral. neither
acid nor alkaline. Tests show a neutral
soil may produce as much as nine times as
many carrots as an acid soil, twice as much
cabbage. Lime is not fertilizer. If added
in too great quantities, harm may result.
Soil can be tested. Lime is cheap. A
soil-tex testing outfit can be obtained at
cost from your county agricultural agent.
