Changed practices in agriculture
in which experimental work has
led the way were recently review
ed by J. E. Knott, professor Of
truck crops and plant physiology
of the University Agricultural ex-
pertinent Station at Davis.
For many years the icea pre-
vailed that the more times
plant was transplanted before it
was set out in the field, the better
it would produce. We know now
that each time a plant is trans
planted it is checked in growth.
Deep ana frequent stirring Of
the soil OF the root zone of vege-
tables while they are growing has
been repeatedly shown curing the
last 30 or 25 years to be necessary

Editor. pcst-PraSS.
Referring to your last Mondays
editorial 7 understand the city
council did hurdle objections 10
parking meters in order TO get raises
in pay for certain city employees.
Not bad for them. Is it any wonder
these men insist on this meter gag
Il is taxation in its worst form:
city. yes, public property doled out
to victims at cent per y minutes.
Now. if these nickel-snatehers
are really worried about parking
hogs using the parking space toe
long. why don't they propose en-
f0rcement Of parking restrictions
that have supposedly been in force
fer years2 Anyone could still park
one hour despite the meters if they
have the nickel. II a tWO-hOur park
ing limit doesn't let all the shoppers
park. why not simply change 20 4
ora-hour parking limit and Junk
those meters or use them for hitch
ing posts?
If public employees are really en-
titled to raises. do we have to use
one-armed bandits on our front
doors to milk the money out Of our
buying public? II tn ey deserve
raises. lets face the issue directly
and not clutter up our customers
minds with, meter memories and
make them want TO trade elsewhere.
When towns like Los Angeles can
still offer parking space without
meters. why Go We need them here?
