seed indoors. The time 10 sow
this seed depends upon two fac
tors, the weather and your abil-
ity to have your garden soil in
readiness to receive the tender
plants. The general rule is to
sow seed indoors, or in the hot
bed, four to six weeks before
the last frost proof date in your
locality. The ideal soil for
starting seed indoors is an equal
mixture of sand and peat moss.
Garden soil is not recommend
ed, and never should fertilizer
be used in the mixture.
Success with starting seeds in
doors equir considerable
study and preparation. Ere
quently entire paintings are lost
due to "damping Off" name
applied to disease which caus-
es whiting and death of seedlings
just as they push through the
soil. II is the result of one or
more fungus growths which live
in the soil. There is no remedy
or cure, but "damping OFF, can
be prevented to a large degree if
soil and pots or flats are ster-
ilized before seed is sown. Ster-
ilization may be done by steam,
very hot water and chemicals,
such as formaldehyde.
The steam treatment is not
simple for the average garden
er, since two-hour injection is
necessary. The hot water treat
ment is easy, as one need but
to pour boiling water over the
soil. Formaldehyde, commercial
formalin, one part 10 so pints of
water, is highly recommended.
One gallon of the solution is u.s.
ed to one square foot Of soil, six
inches deep.
Pour the solution on the soil,
cover with thick cloth or
heavy paper for "a hours, then
uncover and permit the soil TO
dry. ! prefer the boiling water
treatment. plus treating seeds
with chemical compounds, such
as arasan, cuprocide, semesan
and spergon. They are all dry
dust treatments. Amount of dust
that can be held on the big end
of toothpick is sufficient to
treat a 10-cent pack of seed.
Dust is put in the pack with the
seed, the pack closed, and then
shaken TO thoroughly coat each
seed.
Arasan is recommended for
all seed except carrot, lettuce,
endive. Cuprocide for peas, GU
cumbers, melon, squash and
other large seeds such as spin
ach, tomatoes, bects; but don't
use on seed OF the cabbage and
onion families. Semesan is ap-
plicable TO cabbage, cucumbers,
melons and most seeds except
lima beans. Spergon is good
for lima beans and peas.

WHICH COMES FIRST?

The American agricultural indus
try is geared to produce 800 to 35 %
more than before the war. Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson, in making
the above fiat declaration, frankly
acknowledged that Improvements in
agricultural technology are progress
ing rapidly" 1t is no trouble for him
to visualize all the new modern
methods that are being applied to ag-
riculture which lift terrific burdens
off the backs and shoulders of men
and women who know that "agricul-
tural technology" includes modern
furnishings, equipment and farm ma
chinery. Secretary Anderson had all
these developments and facts in
mind, when he predicted that when
we get through with the reconversion
period in the next IS to 20 months,
one of the major problems facing this
country will be that of providing
market outlets for the increased vol
ume of agriculture.
Agriculture and industry are not
competitors, and neither sleeps on
the others shoulders. The SUPPOSE
ton that agriculture leans on indus
try, or that industry leans on agricul-
ture brings up the old query of
which come first, the hen or the
egg?"

FORECASTS AID FOREST FIRE
FIGHTERS

Catching forest and range fires
young and treating them rough is the
program of the Forest Service in CO.
operation with the Weather Bureau.
Contrary to Mark Twains contention
that people only talk about the wea-
Their, forest rangers and other smoke
chasers try to do something about it.
The weather cannot be changed, but
firefighting plans can be made to fit
forecast, particularly when radio
brings the news for firemen in ad-
vance.
Fire weather forecasts are regard
ed by the Forest Service as one of
it's major weapons in preventing and
suppressing fires in timber and brush
watersheds. Advance news as to
probable wind velocity, humidity,
visibility and temperature gives For
est Service fire fighters chance to
plan their startegy to meet fire out
break. Turn about, many ranger sta
lions and lookouts are equipped to
send weather observations to the
Weather Bureau from whence the
fire forecasts are transmitted by ra-
dio.
If forests fuels are dry and the fire
weather forecast indicates dangerous
conditions will prevail on the follow
ing day, road crews and other per-
sonnet are held in readiness and
trucks are stationed at convenient
points to transport the fire fighters
and equipment to fires that start
and quickly. If the forecast indicates
poor visibility, additional fire look
outs are manned at temporary sta
lions and airplane spoilers are sent
aloft. If conditions become more cri-
teal, warnings are issued to logging
operators to shut down.
When fire becomes large, Forest
Rangers call on weather officials to
study their charts. Weather men in
such cases prepare special forecasts
of expected weather conditions at I'll e
location of the fire. Even when fires
do not occur, the Forest Service finds
that advance knowledge of weather
conditions favors effective planning
of work in the forests.
