to add more, knowing that summer
temperatures may reach the upper
COS and that rainless period Is
to be expected in July or August.
The mixing of saWdust with the
soil as a means of increasing Its
friability, moisture holding capacity
to tighten heavy clay soil, and to
keep a sandy soil from drying out
is slightly different story. Gener-
ally speaking it is no different than
adding peat moss or manure. If the
mixing is done in the fall the addi-
ton of nitrogen is not so important
as when the work is done in the
spring. In either case We can wei
afford to use fertilizers with q
higher nitrogen content during the
growing season.
Keeps Moisture Supply.
SaWdust may not be as effective q
sponge as peat moss although the
Michigan people report that 25
pounds of saWdust will absorb 10C
pounds of water, good indication
of its value both to heavy and tc
sandy soils.
Some will question the effect Of
the saWdust upon soil acidity. This
question has not been satisfactorily
answered. Certainly, sawdust in de-
composing should increase the acid
ity, but it is a type of acidity that
appears to be beneficial to plant
growth. One report states that all
plants benefited and made excep-
tional growth. This report included
vegetables, ANIMALS, perennials
roses, wildfowers and ericaceous
plants.
We are not advocating that every
one turn to sawdust as the magic
soil improver. But we do suggest
that 1t Is a field to be explored
preferably on small scale at first
Get the coarser grades and apply
in moderate quantities, and add
nitrogen in the spring and early
summer months. II the plants look
starved increase the quantity OF
nitrogen. Too much nitrogen, how
ever, can burn plants, particularly
if the soil is dry and they are thirsty
at the time of application.

FRESH BLOOD
A MUST FOR
FREE ENERGY

Do you feel like you are tied to a drag
everytime you try to do something? #
so, don't let a low blood count hold you
down when you may release vibrant
energy to every muscle, fibre, cell.
Every day-every hour-millions Of
tiny red-blood-cells must pour forth
from the marrow Of your bones to re-
place those that are WORKOUT. A low
blood count may affect you in several
ways: no appetite, underweight, no
energy, a rundown condition, lack Of
resistance to infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep I'D
your blood strength. Medical authorities.
by analysis OF the blood, have by posi-
tive proof shown that SIS Tonic Is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in non-organfc nutri-
ttonal anemia. This is due to the SIS
Tonic formula which contains special
and potent ~act1vating Ingredients.
Also, SIS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric
digestive juice when it Is no~n-organi-
caliy too little or scanty-thus the stom-
ach will nave little to get balky
with gas. o and give on that sour
food taste.
Don't waitl Energize your body with
rich, red-blood. Start on SIS Tonic now.
As vigorous blood Surges Throughout
your whole body, greater freshness and
strength hould make you eat better,
sleep better, feel better, work better,
PLAY better, hav a healthy color glow In
