Shawnee Speed Kids

&. special meeting of the Shaw
nee Speed Kids was held on Feb
ruary !, at the home of their lead
or. Jane 5. Grove, for the purpose
OF discussing their radio program
and gardening. They had as a
guest speaker, Morris GrOverman
OF Shawnee. who gave them many
very interesting points, some of
which were:
ia Early potatoes should be
thlnned out TO two shoots per hill,
so that more and larger potatoes
can be grown. More shoots would
tend to take up more water and
material from the soil.
tb Peas should be planted six
to eight inches apart in rows of
Two in order that they can shade
each other.
&C. If you see radisheS crowded
together in one spot and thin in
another. the reason would be that
the small seeds had slipped through
your fingers. One way to avoid this
is to mix the seeds with sand. This
type OF seed carrots, radishes, let
tuce should not be planted more
than q inch deep.
I'D To help kill corn worms.
pat one drop OF turpentine ON each
tassel after it has Drowned pre-
maturely. Worms are usually pres
cnt when the tassels have Drowned
before time.
tcD Above all, keep your gar
den well wceded they use up the
precious water and nutrients Of the
soil.
After such an interesting talk
We all felt as if we wanted a garden
this spring. We welcomed Betty
Passwaters of Houston as a new

Dieppe came from last place to
take third after winding up in the

a half-length back of Hoop and
might have moved up another
notch if the latter hadn't bore over

Hoop, Jr., as in the Derby, tried
to outrun the field in the early
stakes but succeeded for only
hree-sixteenths of mile. At thai
point he was caught by Polynesian
who previously had won the With

there on Mrs. Widener's horse die
