The Birds Will Get Used to It

THE general said he has learned
that talking to wives is just like
talking to the birds-they dc
exactly what they want to dc
anyway.
Eddie Stone, a former fellow
worker now living a life of ease
writes to tell me that Texas
hens have never had things SO
good.
A few years ago Eddie wrote
from London about the squabble
then going on in Parliament over
the plight of the poor British
hens who were being kept up
until all hours so they would
lay more eggs.
Now. Eddie says, they are
really putting the hen on a
pedestal down in Texas.
Apparently, If Texas hens have
to stay up late to produce more
eggs, they ought to do it COM
fortably. So. they are air condi-
tioning Texas hen houses.
The whole purpose, it seems, is
to improve hen psychology
Happy hens lay more eggs. and
one way of keeping hens happy
is to keep hens cool.

Easy to Overwater
At this season Of the yea1
the watering OF house plants
becomes a problem. It is very
easy to overwater as well as to
underwater. There is no SUBJ
stitute for feeling the soil to
see If it is moist or dry. Some
gardeners lift the pots and ran
them with their knuckles to
see If the pot sounds hollow. /"
It the pots are dry it might
be well to soak them in q pan
OF water for an hour or so,
then stand the pot to drain
before replacing it on the shelf
Watering from the top is salts
facory so long as it is suficient
for the water to show up at the
drainage hole. Watering from
the saucer is good provided that
no more water is put into the
saucer than the soil will absorb
in a matter of an hour or two.
Water standing in the saucer
beyond this means that the
soil in the bottom of the pot
is waterlogged and may cause
the roots in the bottom of the
pot to rot.
Plastic Water Lines
One Of the useful plastic
items now available to gardeners
is the plastic water line. It is
much more desirable than the
old iron pipe in that there is
very little danger of the plastic
splitting If the water freezes in
it, hence there is not the neces-
sity for placing it at the bottom
of a deep trench. Also, it is
comparatively easy to install
"risers" for spigot or sprinkler
by cutting the hose and inserting
a ct" A knife will cut the
plastic and the ct" is fastened
into place with a screwdriver.

II years ago in Greenbelt. The

There have been many re-

making the announcement.
1.-THE general public, of course,
is always invited to use coop IA
cilities, he declared. They are
not just limited to members"
The official pointed out that a
main feature of coop stores is
the patronage refund, a system
whereby coop shoppers turn in
their cash register receipts yearly
to get back a proportionate share
of the stores profits.
"In addition" Ashelman said,
I'VE make available $40 shares of
stock to the public and our mem
bers and we have paid five pre-
cent annual dividend on all such
stock since the coop was founded
in 1870"
"As the opening date nears,"
Ashelman said, I'VE will make
every effort to tell the people Of
Rockville and vicinity about the
coop and how it works.
Suffice it to say, initially," he
continued, that we are simply a
group of consumers organized in

purchase of commodities.
