oe Hotbed Is Valuable for N. D. Vegetable Garden Caution Should be Used, How-; ever, in Moving Plants to Cold Air i | ——_—— — { Editor's Note: This is the third of a series dealing with vegetable gardens. ' | By 4. ¥, YEAGER ! Horticulturist, North Dakota Agri- ; cultural College ij Garden raisers who want to hurry their vegetable crops along will find that a hotbed is an important ad- vantage. With such crops as toma- toes it is necessary to raise the plants inside. With others a much earlier crop may be produced by starting the plants under protection before put- ting them out into the garden. While fair success is sometimes at- tained in producing plants in a well lighted window, there is great likeli- hood of one having poor plants to sct and consequently a poor crop. The average house is kept too dry and too hot for plants. Fortunately on any farm it is easy to make a hotbed in which plants as good as any green- house plants can be grown. Recently @ hotbed in which plants were Just coming through the soil withstood a temperature of 19 degrees below zero without serious damage to the seed- lings. The cost is trifling. Most any farm has all the material needed ly- ing around. The surface hotbed ts the simplest to make. Send for Circular Full directions with illustrations for making inexpensive hotbeds on the! farm are given in extension service circular No. 58, published by the North Dakota Agricultural College. Garden raisers can obtain a copy of this circular free. It is a real gardening | hhand-book and contains a lot of gar- den information that will be appre- ciated by oldtimers as well as new- comers in the vegetable growing} game. | It is usually best not to sow. the seed directly into the soil of the hotbed but to use shallow boxes. The boxes| should be well drained, two inches! '«Destry Rides Again.” > | AT THE MOVIES Gackene eee CAPITOL THEATER Tom Mix, the greatest western hero of all time, returns to the screen after three triumphal circus years, in It is sched- uled to play the Capitol theater to- morrow and it marks a red letter day in this town. There isn't a boy under sixty who doesn’t plan to turn out and hear as well as see Tom Mix on the screen. The only drawback to this first talking appearance of Tom Mix 4s the fact that Tony cannot talk, too. There isn’t anything that Tony cannot do, but so far Mix has not been able to teach Tony to say any- thing, except in the sign language. Tom Mix’s reputation goes back to the earliest traditions of moving pic- ture business. He was the original western star, and with every year his popularity and prestige increased. Strange to say, the three years of his absence from the screen have merely served to demonstrate that popular- ity. The avidity with which the thea- ters throughout the United States have demanded the Tom Mix pic- tures, delayed unfortunately by his ° operation, insures a wider appearance of “Destry Rides Again” than that of any other picture which will be shown this year.

Covlin won first to pots where they remain until set in the field. Use Care In Moving If plants are taken directly from al warm hotbed and set in the field, they | may be seriously checked by severe wilting or by frost. If plants have been exposed to the outside air for a week whenevar possible without freezing them, they are much more resistant to these conditions. With-/| holding water from the plants for a} while before setting them has some- thing of the same effect. The easiest way to harden plants is to remove the} glass whenever this can safely be! done during the last 10 days the plants are in the hotbed. Plants to be set out should first be soaked thoroughly for an hour before moving them. Take all the dirt pos-; sible with each plant. Open a hole which will admit of the plant being! set somewhat deeper than it grew in the hotbed, surround the roots with good loose soil and pack it very firm- ly. Potted tomato plants should be removed from the pot and after set- ting, the soil should be tramped as firmly as would be that around a young tree. Evening is the best time for setting. If necessary to water put it on after setting and cover the wet Spot with ioose soil to prevent baking. SELECT TEACHING STAFF Killdeer, N.

What a pleasure it is to shop when you know exactly what you want and can get it without trouble. And what dissatisfaction often follows, if you let yourself be talked into buying some other article instead! You probably ‘know how disappointing such purchases often are. Most women do! For even at the grocery or drug store insistent salespeople will sometimes urge you to Duy something ‘“‘just as good” as the product you request. some other in its place. want, will very often try by sheer persuasion to sell you When this happens, frequently it is because the merchant reaps extra profit, or the clerk a commission, by switching you to the unknown and often inferior merchandise! Many of the best stores everywhere forbid this practise. When you buy from them you are always sure of getting exactly what you ask for; certain of receiving full value in When you ask for certain products which you know are dependable, why: should any clerk insult your judgment by insisting that you take other brands instead? There is always a reason. Usually a very selfish one! At times, of course, a store “runs out”. of the brand you ask for. But some stores seem to be deliberately ‘“‘out” all the time. Others, even though they have the brand you the merchandise you want for every penny you spend! But if you are offered something “‘just.as good” as the thing you ask for, be firm! Insist on packaged products which you know through experience, by brand, or by the reputation of the maker. Such products are often advertised in this newspaper. Be guided by what you know, and you will always be sure of full value for your shopping dollars.
