To Victory gardeners equip
ped to grow plants indoors for
setting into the garden, County
Agricultural Agent Will m
Murphy offers these sugges-
tons:
Treat all vegetables seeds
with one of the seed-treating
materials, following the direc-
tons Of the manufacturer.
terminate the seed in
warm soil, temperature 80 to 30
degrees F.
Start the plants in time to
print a growing period Of 6 to
8 weeks previous to the time for
garden setting. Celery and
onions require 8 to 10 weeks,
while melons, cucumbers and
summer squash require only 3
to weeks.
Place soil that Is loose and
easily crumbled in the cold
frame or hot bed. Pure sand
with a nutrient solution applied
as the plant emerge gives good
results.
Keep the proper tempera-
lures, if possible, for the plants
being grown. Tomato and pep
per plants need 70 to 80 degrees
F; head lettuce, celery, cabbage,
onion, broccoli, cauliflower, and
brussels sprouts require IS to
70F; while melons, cucumbers
and squash need from 70 to 89F.
For most vegetables the tenn
perature during the night should
be 5 to 10 degrees cooler than
during the day.
Thoroughly soak the soil
when watering the plants. Ere
quency of watering depends
upon the rate of growth, tenn
perature and humidity.
Soil for flats, pots, and bands
should be moderately fertile, SO
that excessive applications of
fertilizers are not necessary. Too
much fertilizer produces a soil
condition that results in slow
growth.

Sheriff

for themselves in even the most
elementary fashion, the sheriff
pointed out, and - sometimes
unclothed - are exposed to the
jibes of male occupants of ad-
joining cells.
In the past the county Jail has
served as q place of detention for
persons suspected of insanity
pending the outcome of hearings
to determine the status of their
mental processes.
The sheriff, In announcing his
determination to refuse admit
lance in such cases - beyond
his capacity for proper care -
referred to the necessity for ex-
banded accommodations for in
sane prisoners. He suggested that
the board study the possibility OF
making adequate arrangements
for such persons.
BLAMES NO DEPARTMENT
The sheriff, clearly absolving
courts and other agencies for
conditions at the county Jail,
stressed the fact that proper ia
cilities simply do not exist. II
have no nurse to care for the
insane. They are no criminals
in most cases-but sick peo-
pie deserving of proper treat
ment," he said. He pointed out
that Welfare Commissioner Leo
Jean had also declined to &C.
cept such persons at the county
infirmary.
One woman, held for sanity
observation, has been imprison-
ed in the county Jail for full
month despite the fact that she
is innocent of all suspicion Of
having committed criminal Of
tense.
Following is the sheriffs for
NAL letter to the board:
Gentlemen:
Because of the situation that
has arisen within the past few
weeks this office believes it nee
essary to bring to your atten-
ton certain conditions that exist
with relation to the confinement
of insane persons.
"The County Jail presently has
facilities to accommodate two in
sane persons and no more at any
one time. These facilities are in
adequate and handicap this Of
flee greatly as such times as
more than two insane people are
placed in my charge.
because of the above and un-
til such times adequate facili-
ties are provided to properly
house insane or alleged insane
people it will be necessary for
this office to deny admittance of
such insane persons beyond the
means provided unless such in
sane persons have been charged
with commission of crime.
because of the above I feel
that there is need presently
and there will probably be far
greater need for the facilities
set forth above and respectfully
request that the Board of Su-
pervisors attempt to make ade-
quate provision for the problem
at hand"

Vital Statistics

He may be six or possibly seven years
old, that is in the first or second grade
bracket. And he was lost in despair.
With tears streaming, he ran to lady and
asked, do you know who I amp She hae
to admit she did not. Further inquiry reveal
ed he knew his name but had no idea from
his then location where he lived. He attended
school somewhere "off that way" he said,
and felt sure if he could get back to school
he'd find his way home when school let out:
1t seems that he had been allowed to leave
school to go buy pencils, lost his way, en-
tered an unfamiliar street, lost his sense OF
direction and was in a panic when the lady
took him under her wing. For few moments
though the little fellow was in deep trouble.
Something of the same sort might happen
to your son, other mothers of Wilmington.
Why would it not be good plan to give
your youngsters cards bearing their names,
home addresses, the family phone number,
and name of school they attend; or. better
still, because children lose cards as easily
as their parents, sew this information to an
inconspicuous part of their raiment?
If this youngster had had this data upon
his clothing anxious moments would have
been spared him and the Samaritan who came
to his relief.

of before the need became so acute. UNHhA
has had many months to work out its pro
gram. even to make arrangements for ships

onerational processes, but has not done SO.
Because these faults are so obvious II
would seem imperative that such changes
in administrative heads as are needed to get
the organization into efficient operation be
made without further loss Of time. We have
repeatedly urged that Herbert Hoover be
placed at the head Of UNRRA, in the interest
of smooth, competent operation. We again
urger his appointment, if he can be persuao'
ed to undertake the work at this late date and
with so little done. Mr.. Hoover understands
relief service probably better than any other
man in the world. His politics should not be
permitted to interfere with the worlds need
for him.
Whether President Truman and his ad'
visers can be shown just how well Mr.
Hoover would fit into the present need for
relief leadership or not, it is obvious that
much Of Europe faces actual famine condi.

Why Britain?

Java is an island possession Of the Neither
lands. It is also one OF the bitterest postwar
battlefields. The Indonesians generally want
their inderendence Of Hollands rule and are
willing to fight it out if it takes all winter or
summer too.
When the trouble started Great Britain sent
troops against the Indonesians and accounts of
the fighting since are an echo OF methods en-
ployed to drive Germans from cities before
the German military establishment collapsed.
That is to say dispatches contain references
to street-by-street fighting, machine guns sta
toned at strategic corners, tanks runbling
out of alleys, etc.
The British are doing this, despite the fact
as previously noted, that Java is Holland S
colony. Many persons are asking, how come?
Britain sent troops in to quell the first out
breaks because Holland was On its military
back so to speak, and unprepared to repress
a revolt which from the first obviously was
to become general. But why is the burden
still falling upon Britain, which has just
finished an outstanding role in World War II?
Why is The Netherlands leaving the fighting
to her friend?
The correct answer, if it could be obtained,
would ease many minds, up to the diplomatic
bracket.

Lindbergh Recrudescence

Charles A. Lindbergh, the Lone Eagle and
former hero, who finally admits he was
wrong in the opinions he expressed as an
isolationist and American Firster while his
country was being driven closer and closer
to war, has come out with proposal that
we become a convert to superisolationlsm
for the future. He is understood to be work
ing on republican members of Congress and
other republicans for support of his campaign
with the purpose of injecting his proposition
into the congressional races next year and
the presidential campaign in 1948
His proposal, for which he is said to have
created a clique in and out OF Congress-, goes
something like this:
''That the United States should arm to tbs
hlt and seek to maintain level OF military
world.
'That American military air power should
be amassed to point decisively superior to
anything which the rest of the world could
put together.
'That the United States should acquire
still more bases in key strategic areas for
its own protection against attacks.
THAT there should be no worldwide ex-
change of natural scientific information such
as proposed by the Truman-Attlee-King con-
versations on atomic energy.
THAT America should not place confidence
in nor rely on, the United Nations Organi-
cation but should rely instead on its own
armed might"
There are many reasons such a program
could not be put into effect one of which
is that no nation can live to and for itself
alone. This is so all-embracing it is useless
