plants are small and many growers
viii not be able 10 transplant as
early as is desirable Here are
some suggestions to help growers
have better plants earlier
If the plants are small and too
thick, rake the bed in two dircc-
tons with a mandrake. The plants
that are left will have more space
to develop into stocky healthy
plants that Will grow well when
put IL the field
# your bed is located on sandy
son heavy rams during recent
months may have laached the nj
trogen from the soil If plants have
taken on a yellow cast. indicating
a need for nitrogen. apply two to
four pounds Of quick acting 10 to
20 per cent nitrogen fertilizer per
100 square yards as q top dressing
There VIII be less danger OF burn
ing if the granular d. pellet form
is used Be sure 10 wash ii off
immediately
Don't lei The plant bed dry out
Check it often and water with
clean water as needed
Be sure to treat The beds for
control Of plant bed diseases and
insects Remember it is always
risky to go off your farm for
plants Condition the plants for
transplanting by removing the
plant bed cover a few days before
the plants are pulled If the bed is
dry at transplanting time, water it
well before pulling Many Of the
essential fine feeder roots Will be
broken off if the soil IS dry when
plants are pulled To get a good
stand and uniform growth you
reed not only good stocky. healthy
plants but plants with a good
root system

Nadie desconoce que Latinoamerica entr6 va

lleva derechos, sino deberes. Los deberes Sc es-
tan cumpliendo: los 20 paises apoyan los pactos

suplen hombres para la defensa de la dignidad

que uene Ell derecno de ~erradlcar la mlserla, las
