Round The Edges
At "Tech"
BY ErneStine Mathews

Greetings Everyone:
All of the students here at Tech
don't seem to be so happy about
returning to school after their
holiday vacation, but guess they
will get used to it.

Show were invited to West Phoe-
nix Lions Club on December 18.
The Lions Club members enjoyed
Techs entertainers so much that
they invited the winners to put on
the show again next month.
Tech is very proud of the. nice
appearance of her band and float
in the New Years Parade. The
princess looked very lovely and we
are very proud of her. The float
was very lovely also. 1t was de-
signed by Donald Tabor, a senior
The float won first place in di-

DO YOU
REMEMB Err?

In January of 1943 when World
War II was at it's peak and, in
ternationally, the world was try
ing to rid itself of war con-
stituted by the dictorial ideas of
Adolf Hitler; nationally, the peo-
pie were going all out in the de-
fense effort of our country; and
locally, the first WAA.C. unit
arrived in Arizona at Fort Hua-
chuca greeted by thousands of
people both public and service con-
nected. During this time the So
cial activities were mostly centered
around entertaining members of
the service, and generally bring
ing good cheer to the hearts of
those who had loved ones who
were risking their lives in order
that we here might live in free
dom from dictatorship. DO YOU
REMEMBER.

The more thorough the prepare

the easier it will be to take care
of the crops during the growing

should be well turned and cut into
the soil. The blowing should not
be done when the soil is too wet,
especially in clay soils, or the soil
may be "cloddy" for the rest of
the season. AS fine a seed bed as
possible should be prepared for the

of acid soils. On the other hand,

crops.
How deep should seed be plant
ed? That is determined by several
factors, of which the most impor-
tant are size of seed, type of soil,
moisture in the soil, and tempera-
ture or time of the year. It is
sometimes said that seed should
be planted to a depth of four times
the diameter of the seed. That
might not always be an accurate
measure, but it is along the right
direction. For instance, beans are
usually planted from 1 to 11s inch
es deep, while turnips are planted
about Il inch deep. In clay soils
seed should not be planted as deep
as in sandy soils. In dry soils seed
should be planted deeper than, in
moist soils. Lastly, in the summer
when the soil is warm, seed may
be planted deeper than in the
spring or fall when the soil is cold.
In any case see that the soil is
firmed over the seed. The back of
a rake is a good tool for this job.
1t firms the soil without packing
the surface.
