MAYBE, INSTEAD of plants
that require special soils. you
grow just the ordinary run of
plants, asparagus ferns and
ivies, sanseverias and philoden-
drons. Just one single mixture
of soil will do for potting up all
Of these. Here's how 10 make il.
Use cup of your best garden
soil TO half a cup each of sharp
sand and graduated peat moss
or leaf mold. Add 4 tablespoon
fuls of dried COW manure and
2 tablespoonful OF bone meal.
Mix we'll.
You will notice that this mix
ture carries the necessary ferti-
lizer for quite some time. Along
about the first of the year the
plants will need more. espe-
cially since they are then pre-
pairing for their growth in the
spring. Extra feeding every 10
days from then on will help. If
too much food is not given at
a time.

To those who enjoy honey.
To make syrup. use one part
honey to two parts water. Boil
water and honey together two
minutes. Simmer fruit in syrup
until heated through. Pack hot
into sterilized jars and process
peaches for - minutes in hot
water bath. Pears will take
from 20 70 % minutes.

Leaf Plants

One of the best fertilizers for
leaf plants which should look a
good bright green is either am
monium sulphate or nitrate OF
soda. We are going to be able
to buy nitrate of soda again
very soon. Both of these carry
nitrogen in large quantity and
no other plant nutrients. Nitro
gen in too great concentration
burns plant leaves and stems.
Both substances must be ham
died with care. must not be
allowed TO touch the plant, but
are poured around the outer
edge of the pot. They must not
be used dry, but teaspoonful
10 a quart Of water. well mixed
and used 10 water foliage plants
once every 10 days, will work
wonders.

Use SpsrinsIy

For plants that are going to
bloom, use a complete fertilizer.
This will contain not only
nitrogen but phosphorus and
potash as well. So" Small size
packages OF garden fertilizers
of 4-12-4 analysis may be kept
in the house or tablet form
fertilizer may be used instead.
Either way. be sparing with
any one application. A tea
spoonful of complete fertilizer
once in two weeks is plenty Tor
a plant in 5 or 6-inch pot.
Naturally slow growing plants
need even less.

BY PRUDENCE PENNY

ACCORDING TO a report
from the Detroit Municipal Blu
reau OF Markets peaches are at
their peak this week and fairly
moderate in price. Fine quality
Bartlett pears for eating and
canning are now in moderate
supply and are at ceiling prices.
Due to the temporary sugar
shortage many homemakers
are missing the opportunity OF
preserving these fruits for use
this winter. This rs unneces-
sary since both of them may be
canned in water or with mixture
made of corn syrup and water.
Do not, hesitate TO use these
methods. II is not the sugar
which preserves the fruit but
the heat to which the jars are
subjected. Try these recipes.

DEMOCRATS GIRD JOINS

Members of the House Democratic Campaign Committee got their first close up of new Democratic National Chairman, Robert E. Han negan at a secret meeting on Cap itol Hill the other night. Their ears are still burning from some of Han negan's plain talking comments. Unlike his placid, good-natured pre- decessor, Postmaster-Genera Frank Walker, Hannegan quickly made it clear that he can be both dynamic and tough-and that he intends to run the campaign along those lines.
 His first words, after being in troduced, were in rebuttal to re- marks by previous speakers, in- cluding a statement by Representa- tive Patrick Drewry of Virginia, chairman of the Congressional Campaign Committee, that the party organization was in good shape for the 1944 fray and couldn't lose with Roosevelt head ing the ticket Drewry and other members of the committee claimed that last years grumbling abont the OPA, farm policies. Mrs. Roose- welt, the White House palace guard etc, had subsided. If Roose- welt ran for fourth term, the nia- jority contended, he would carry their districts and States.
 I'm not that optimistic, Hanne- gan asserted bluntly. Tn fact, I'm not optimistic at all. I believe in facing the facts, and the fact is. gentlemen, that we have hell of a fight on our hands. regardless Of who heads the ticket"
 While his listeners stared goggle- eyed, the two-fisted National Chair man continued: 'Yes, I mean just that. Let the Republicans exude all the optimism they want to, but let us get down to hard work The time to gloat about victory is after the fight is over, not before I'm new in this job, but I've parti- cipated in number of political campaigns and we'll have to be on our toes to win this one. It will be a fight every inch of the way
 Do you think the President will run for fourth term?" Hannegan was asked.
 T don't know and I'm not bank ing on it." he replied. Naturally I hope he does run. but I'm going to wage the same kind of campaign

Tomorrow herads the beginning of the month which has been set aside all the United States for the purpose of carrying out campaigns to raise a total of oooOOO00 for the American Red Cross War Fund
 Practically every cent of the money Will be used for the purpose of solving difficulties and hardships brought about by war.
 The drive will begin in the Juneau area officially on Tuesday morning, March T. and it is hoped that the quota will be reached before the week is out.
 Here is how the money will be spent
 sum of $40 900 will go to the National Red Cross and the International Red Cross for maintenance of their activities so vitally important right now.
 sum of s60,OOoOo will be appropriated to chap ters for local chapter services But of this figure practically all will go for home service for members of the armed forces and their families, other chapter services essential services for the armed forces, volunteer special services and the blood donor service
 Here are a few facts about what the Red Cross has done with the money you donated last year:
 total of 3sOO0Oo U. s. service men given per- sonal aid by camp and hospital workers and 2500000 by chapter home service.
 total of 5,OO0yOOO pnts of blood collected, one reason why casualty lists have not been large as they might be.

regardless of who is the nominee. don't intend to let down for a minute and I expect every Demo- cratic leader, from the National and State Committees down to the wards and the precincts, to follow the same policy. Our first big problem is registration. We must see to it that every available Dem- ocratic voter is registered. We're go- ing to need the support of every one of them to win this fight"
 Representatives Drewry, John Me Cormack of Massachusetts, the House majority leader, Jed John son of Oklahoma, Herman Eber- harter of Pennsylvania, Jennings Randolph of West Virginia, and other House veterans, rushed up to shake Hannegan's hand when he concluded his remarks.
