quent intervals, Weather Bureau ex-
perts say, is the first indication OF q
close relationship between Northern
and Southern Hemisphere weather
and makes conditions inside the
Antarctic Circle significant to North
America and Europe, although just
how much so 1t is impossible to
say yet.
Heavy air tends to pile up over
the polar regions. In the Northern
Hemisphere, it has just been found,
the chief center Is Northern Siberia.
In the Southern Hemisphere 1t
presumably is in the center of the
Antarctic content over the South
Pole, although few observations ever
have been taken much beyond the
rim of the ice shelf.
The ebbs and surges in the weight
of the northern hemisphere's atmo-
spheres cause variations OF as much
as half of / per cent and may come
within a few days Of each other.
This teeterboard phenomenon con-
tinues throughout the year.
The mechanism by which the
great air masses are transferred
back and forth across the Equator
is entirely unknown. In the past 1t
has been known that there was
some exchange of atmosphere be-
tween the two hemispheres, but 1t
wds believed to be very slight ana
infrequent.

Cut and Come Again Lettuce

of fertilizer will hasten the growth
of the second crop.
Some gardeners never pull up
or cut off the loose-leaved varie-
ties of lettuce. Instead they pull
off a few of the outside leaves OF
the plants. This allows the CEN
ter leaves to continue growing Cor
future use.
Lettuce frequently can be sown
until almost the end of August
with assurance of ample returns.
1t will even tolerate a light frost.
When a cold frame or hotbed is
at hand a few plants transplanted
in October into such frames can
be grown on through November
and December with the protection
of a glass covering.
To hasten the maturing of late
planted lettuce apply a nitrogen
fertilizer along the rows but also
be sure to give the plants quaint
ties of water.
If lettuce is allowed to grow
slowly in poor ground, it will be
tough and unsatisfactory. One
way to have quality lettuce is to
make it grow rapidly, which
means that it must have good,
rich ground and plenty of room.
