Bears Primed
Y.,FrOIic
During Drills

CHICAGO, Dec. a APP
To the casual observer, the
Chicago Bears might have been
going through q routine prac-
tice drill yesterday in prepara-
ton for Sundays National
Football League title contest
with the New York Giants at
Wrigley Field.
But If the air reSounded with
laughter and frolic 1t was de-
ceiving.
The Bears had returned to
the field after q Christmas Day
layoff and were hard at work,
running through offensive and
defensive drills, punting. pass
ing and going through calisthe-
mics.
The players drilled with Is
much speed as they could
muster because the air wal
cold and the ground frozen.
Squad In Top shape
While their mood generally
was genial. Assistant Coach Sid
Luckman predicted the players
viii undergo q mental change,
probably starting today, and by
tomorrow they'll be all busi-
ness and Sunday there won't
be a thing on their minds but
the Giants"
The entire squad Is in excel
lent physical shape and, bar
ring any injuries In the last
two practice sessions, should
enter the game in top condi-
ton.
Coach George Halas, leaving
the players to his assistants,
personally inspected the condi-
ton Of the field with all the in
tensity of a geologist crawling
through an age-old glacial
deposit.
A huge tarpaulin covered
part of the Wrigley Field play
ing area and at the south end
Of the field motor driven blow
ers poured hot air under the
billowing canvas in an attempt
to keep the ground thawed.
Won't Predict Score
Halas is aware that a crust
on the hard ground might give
the Giants and their high We
locity offense an edge.
Neither Halas' coaching staff
nor any Of the players will give
an estimate of what Sundays
final score will be. The Bears
will win. there is no doubt,
they say-but they won't pre-
dict the score.
Linebacker Bill George, a H.
year man with the Bears,
claims to be the worst picker
In the world" and cited two i'm
portant games Of the past as
examples Of his negative ability.
I'm 1856, I didn't see how we
could lose to the Giants and
New York won ATT. Last year.
the one game I was most
afraid Of was against the Bal
timore Colts and we won, $40"
The weather is uppermost In
the minds Of players and
coaches. 1t will be cold, they
concede. and there is a possible
ity it will snow or maybe sleet
during the game.

The time to get those shade
and fruit trees pruned is upon
us and should not be put off
for long. The buds on the
naples are swelling and that
means sap is beginning to flow.
Try to get the pruning of trees
completed before the sap flows.
This, of course, is impossible
with the naples. They are
bleeders regardless of when
they are pruned.
Some have thought that sum-
mer pruning is less likely to
produce an undue loss Of sap
than a spring pruning. How
ever, 1t is more difficult in the
summer to dry the pruning
cuts so that a protective coat
ing of tree dressing may be
applied.
Also, maple trees have been
pruned for a great many years
in the spring and with care the
wounds were covered and the
trees survived so there is little
point to changing the practice.
The important thing is to get
1t done and work diligently to
avoid the entrance Of wood
rotting fungi.

How to Sturt
Vegetables in
Cold Frames

Seeds of warm season crops,
like tomato, pepper and egg
plant, can be sown about four
weeks earlier in hotbeds and
two weeks earlier in cold frames
than in the open.
Most vegetables require from
five to eight weeks from seed
ing to transplanting to the
garden. If six to eight seeds
are sown per inch in rows 2 to 3
inches apart, one average-size
greenhouse flat should produce
500 to 500 seedlings.
Transplant the seedlings as
soon as they are large enough
to handle into flats. peat OF
clay pots. or directly into cold
frame soil. Allow each plant at
least 2 inches each way. Soft
spindly plants results from
croWding, high temperatures
over watering, and over-ferti-
lizing.
Plants Of warm-season crops
like tomatoes require a daytime
air temperature Of SIS to rs de-
grees.
Cabbage and other cool-sea-
son crops can be held at so to
IS degrees. Temperature at
night should be 5 to 10 degrees
lower than day temperatures.
In getting seed supplies, don't
overlook the disease-resistant
varieties, particularly for toma-
to wilt.

Forced Bulbs

Discard forced tulips and
paper white narcissus as soon
as they have finished bloom
ing. The bulbs are not worth
saving. Daffodils, hyacinths,
crocus and others however
should be kept growing until
they may be removed from the
pots and put in the flower
border. There they will recover
and build up strength for
Towering. The poinsettias that
gave cheer at the holiday sea-
son might well be discarded as
well as the tender azaleas-it
Is quite a chore to take care
of them and have them in
condition for duty next winter.
The hydrangeas which will
soon be on the market may
be saved for planting out-of-
doors.

Indoor Seeds

From Mrs. L. S., Germantown,
Md. When is the proper time
to start seeds of tomatoes,
peppers, cabbage, ANIMALS?
Answer: The time is deter
mined by when the. plants can
safely go into the garden. Cab
bage is usually planted in the
garden in early April; takes four
to six weeks to reach trans
planting size. Thus February
rs is a good date for sowing
seed. Tomatoes grow about as
rapidly but cannot be planted
in the garden before the first
of May-so start the seed the
first of March. Peppers take
much longer. Start the seed the
first of March with the expec-
tation of putting them in the
garden the middle Of May
Marigolds, zinnias and other
hot weather ANIMALS take six
to eight weeks to reach trans
planting size and should be
started about the first of
March; petunias the last of
February.
