the spaghnum holds moisture very
we'll and there is less of a problem
keeping the seed moist enough.
Some like to grow their seed in
vermiculite and have very good
success, but the seedlings must be
transplanted as soon as the first
pair of true leaves are formed
less leeway than where the spagh-
mum is used. However, for best
results, unless very thinly sown,
all seedlings should be transplant
ed as soon as the first pair of
true leaves are formed.
The soil mixture for the trans
planted seedlings ordinarily con-
tains more plant food than that
used for seed sowing. This is
usually obtained by substituting
well-enriched compost in place of
the peatmoss. Space the seed
lings from 112 to inches apart
in the seeding bed or fiat. Even
wider spacing, planting in plant
bands or in small pots, may be ad-
visable where space permits. The
later methods are recommended
for tap-rooted plants such as
hollyhockS and baptista.
More Sunlight for Transplants.
The young transplants require
more sunlight than the seedlings
if they are to develop into sturdy
plants. although, in a too sunny
situation, they will tend to dry
out and growth may be checked
by hot soils. In other words, too
much sun can be as unsatisfactory
as too little. Generally, morning
sun is best.
If the seedlings were trans
planted into a fairly rich soil they
should need no further fertilizer
until set out in the border or bed.
However, there may be occasions
when supplemental feeding is de-
sirable. Watering with a soluble
plant food is usually most salts
factory. (Note: The soil should
be moistened the day before so
that the plants are not thirsty
when the fertilizer is applied )
One or two applications of the
liquid food 3 to 4 weeks apart
should be ample.
The plants should be large
enough to be transplanted to the
perennial border by late Septem-
Der or early October in time to
become we'll established before
fre ezing weather stops their
growth.
If the young plants are not
safely rooted before freezing
weather they should be protected
by pine boughs or a loose mulch
material. Leaves or other ma
terials that pack down and hold
moisture are likely to smother
small plants although if scattered
over brush they may serve the
purpose. Apply the boughs or
mulch after the ground is frozen.
The function is to keep the ground
frozen. The dozen listed above
are hardy without protection, il
well rooted before freezing
weather.

THE AMERICAN
TAKING STOCK
By George Peck

With our military forces al
ready busily engaged in Korea
and threatened with similar
Observation-Disclosures inva-
sions in other parts of the world,
if America is to survive, a strong
and sound economy must be
maintained. Russia, so far, has
not actually declared war be-
cause she fears the economic
strength of the United States.
During World War II we were
the arsenal of democracy"
Since then it has been to the unit
ed States that a world facing
famine has turned for relief in
order to avoid disaster. The
achievements of American indus
try both in peace and war are a
tribute to the resourcefulness, in.
genuity, and know how of bust
ness enterprise.
Only if we maintain the driv-
ing force of private initiative and
rewards for personal achieve.
ment will America be able to
carry the staggering load that
is being and will be imposed up
on us. To build a military force
strong enough to cope with the
eventualitieS that lie ahead will
be a great strain on our econ
omy.
Let's, therefore, take inventory
of our basic industries. Forum
ately, most of them are in a
strong position; are accounting
for about one-half of the worlds
industrial production. PRODUCTIVE
ity per American worker ranges
from two to thirty times that of
foreign workers, due in large
part to the more extensive use
of machinery provided to Ameri'
can workers by heavy outlay of
capital funds.
Steel is the key factor in our
industrial system. To meet the
heavy demand, the steel industry
will have expanded its annual
capacity to 1O7 million tons by
the end of 1852. This compares
with current capacity of 100 mil
lion tons, which is 20 percent
above 1910. The United States
now produces more than three
times as much steel as Russia
and accounts for nearly one-half
of the worlds output.
The total railroad mileage OF
American railroads is 225 ,OOC
miles, or four times that of Rus
STA. During the last war our rail
roads hauled 70 percent of al
freight, 80 percent of all military
freight and 81 percent of the mil
itary personnel. Since 1914 the
railroads have expended the huge
sum of SAG billion to hold down
costs and improve their service.
Our electric power industry
provides an abundant, depend
able and continuous supply Of
current at rates far below those
of 80 years ago. In 1913. the Unit
ed States production was 337 bill
lion kilowatt hours, or a percent
of world production and 5 Il
