Here, There and Everywhere
By SIG DECREE

When we published an article in laSt weeks Kodiak Mirror that the iocal peeping Tom was living dang erouSly, we weren't kidding. What we said about him wasn't a fig nrent of the imagination as one of our readers implied in a telephone conversation the next day.
 We are leaving the imagination cutpourings to the rumor boys. and believe me, they're at it again. One rumor had it that the peeper vaS coming in through a window, sarcn the housewife let him have it with a baseball bat. The word was going the rounds that he fseaded in the hospital unconscious. Everybody agreed that was the best thing that could happen to hrn, but, unfortunately. none of it was true.
 The peeping boy must have come to the realization that the climate hereabouts wasn't healthy for such as he,. for he has been mighty quiet the past week. The City police have .-lbeen, deiuged with phone calls this week. and tisey have dutifully run down every clue, but found all the re- ports u11founded. Women have worked themselves into a jittery frame of mind, and a newsboy can't ring a house bell without bringing fear to a left-alone wife.
 1t wasn't our intention to bring on a scare in publishing the arti- cle, but with the thought that forewarned is fore armed.
 We highly endorse Sen. Bart let's proposal that all airmaiI i'm properly addressed or for any other reason returned to the send CT, be sent back airmail.
 He mentions important mail sent by physicians, from which an answer is required. The same holds true of mail sent by a busi- ness man i'll Alaska, though pos sicily not as important, is import ant to him. These long waits between boats can oe costly Any way airmail sent should warrant airmail return.
 What IS worse than that, how ever. is a letter sent airmail, and no reply is forthcoming. This in many cases can be the fault of the recipient, but in so many others the fault lies elsewhere. We've had several instances in the past

 Maybe it's for reasons such as the above that since the 193O's, admission rates to general hospit- alS for treatment of ulcers have quadrupled. We haven't checked to see if the increase is from the rank of postmasters, or from those who use the mails. We're only kidding now, PM

How to Sow
Annual Flowers

Annual flowers may be
easily sown broadcast or In
hills.
To broadcast seed, first mark
OF areas for each flower variety
or color Then lightly scatter
seed over area. sowing one kind
at q time. Press down fine seeds
such as petunia and snap
dragon with fiat board into
finely prepared soil. Larger
seeds may be raked into the
surface. firming soil with the
head Of the rake. Label the
place where each flower Is sown
before going on to the next.
To SOW flower seed IN hills
cross-hatch the area where one
variety is sown. Cross-hatch
lines should be evenly spaced.
The space between lines should
be half the height Of the flower
as given on the seed packet OF
in the seed catalog. A pinch
of seed is sown where the lines
cross. Each hill may be marked
with a wooden label to show
where seedlings viii come UP,
When seedlings are well under
way. remove all but the strong
est plant from each hill.
Advantage Of sowing in hills
is that it simplifles early weed
ing.

Advice on Pruning

Pruning should be completed
as rapidly as possible. Be sure
to remove all dead and weak
growths. Treat the pruning cuts
with a tree dressing to pre-
vent decay from entering the
wounds.
The butterfly bushes should
be pruned severely to insure
large flowers, it also helps to
prevent the bushes from get
ting tall and leggy. The same
applies to the crepe myrtle
Both Of these shrubs produce
their blooms on the new growth
and hard pruning stimulates
the vigor of the new shoots.

Pruning Hedges

The pruning of hemlock anc
other evergreen hedges should
be completed soon. While they
may be pruned at any time
without injury to the plants
by pruning now the pruning
cuts are quickly hidden by the
new growth. Crew cuts are not
desirable for foundation plant
ings since they given an arti-
fetal appearance. By shipping
the natural outline may be re-
tanned.

Gross Germinution

It is too late to SOW Kentucky
bluegrass seed-it is a slow ger
minator, and will not have time
to become well established be-
bore summer heat. Bluegrass
makes very little if any growth
when temperatures soar above
IS degrees. Red fescue seed
might make the grade if sown
al this time since it terminates
very quickly (3-5 days.. Rye
gress (annuaD is also a quick
germ1nator and makes a salts
factory temporary lawn. The
hot weather grasses, ZOysia and
Bermuda, should not be planted
until mid-May or as soon as the

plication should follow at

The wild garlic in the laws
is susceptible to 2,4-D but the
waxy coating on the leaves

the garlic the glove treatment

WeedkiIIer Caution

Weedkillers may be used
when the air and leaf temper
atures are rs degrees or above.
but they must be used while the
plants are young and in active
growth. Avoid using them on
new grass seedlings; avoid spray
drift towards susceptible flow
ers and shrubs. The safest time
to use them is when the air is
still and to use a coarse spray
with low pressure. If necessary
cover plants that are to be pro-
tected from the spray.
