R. BUCKLEY October is tulip planting time in most of Canada. Beds are now being prepared for bulbs that are arriving at the stores in abundance. This fall, because of the deterioration of tulip bulbs that were planted for the Centennial three years ago, there will be more planting of tulips than at this time last year. The failure of tulips to produce good blooms, particularly during the third year, can be chiefly blamed on lack of nutrients and over-crowding of the bulbs. To get the best out of tulips the first year, buy top grade bulbs and plant them in well drained soil. But special initial care and cultivation are necessary to maintain these tulips in subsequent years and to assure maximum quality of bloom in the border. If you keep this in mind and attend to the proper preparation of soil, lasting result's will follow: To get the best out of tulips the second and succeeding years, you must see to it now, at planting time, that the soil contains nutrients which the plants can use to replenish the food absorbed in the formation of flowers for the initial year's blooms. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are essential. Organic forms of these elements are perhaps better because they become slowly available to the plants over a longer period. For a good nitrogen supply, some of the newer, slow release fertilizers might be used to advantage. A formula such as 6:"9-6 or 7-7-7, should be quite adequate for tulips. Or one could use sheep or fish manure as a source of nitrogen, wood ashes for potash and superphosphate for the phosphorus supply. Make sure the above materials are located in the area where the roots are developed, by mixing well with the soil and digging 'deeply. To improve soil structure and its ability to retain • nutrients and adequate moisture, work in lots of peat moss or well decayed compost prior to planting. Whether you plant a drift of a dozen, or of a thousand bulbs, you must prepare the soil well. Pay particular attention to drainage. Either choose a naturally well-drained Site or dig out each pocket of soil to a depth of 18 inches and place a layer of gravel at the bottom. On top of this, put a mixture of one part of the poor soil and one part peat moss to within six inches of ground level. Set the bulbs on top of this medium and rill in with good top soil. If you are planting small groups of tulips, it is not a bad idea to carry out the above mentioned method with modifications even if your soil is quite fertile. In this case, take out the top six inches of soil for a eircular area of about 24 inches in diameter, fork up the bottom of the hole, then work in peat moss or compost and set the bulbs on top of this, six inches apart, in any arrangement you desire. Now cover with the top soil and planting is finished. This will ensure that the bulbs Will be deep enotight to-give top grade blooms in the second year; at thiS depth they will not divide and multiply so rapidly. You may also plant annuals or pansies amongst the tulips to help provide a'display of blooms after the spring season has passed. To prevent possible disappointment because of winter temperature fluctuation, gather up branches of evergreens and place them over the tulip beds after the ground has frozen. This will assure adequate snow cover and prevent the thawing of the ground in a January thaw which could lead to premature growth of the bulbs. This can be quite disastrous. When the ground is re-frozen the bulbs are left with no soil in contact with the roots. If dry conditions prevail the following spring, water the planting thoroughly. This will ensure vigorous, lasting foliage necessary to build up the bulbs for next year's blooms. In other words, next year look at the foliage of your tulips; the more vigorous it is and the longer it lasts, the more food it will produce and store in the bulbs. CASH Continued from Page 1 governments investing money at one rate while the school board pays more to borrow the same money. But all agreed that it would not be in Clinton's best interests to surrender the interest-earning power of the money now if other municipalities withheld payment. Clinton taxpayers would then still 'be sharing the cost of school board borrowing necessitated by the other communities, it was said. Clerk-treasurer John Livermore said it is expected that next year the school board will bill the municipalities for a portion of the money in June, forcing all to collect taxes twice yearly. Saturday is* start of minor hockey Clinton Kinsmen minor hockey play Starts this Saturday with the Squirts on the arena ice from nobn to 2 p.m., Wee Wees from 2 to 3 and Pee Wees from 8 to 5 pan. To this end, a light sprinkling among the plants with 6-9.6 or 5.10-5 fertilizer will further induce vigorous growth. From the wide range of varieties and types available, first select the shapes and sizes you desire; then ones which flower at the precise time in the spring to suit your particular plan; then the color. There is such an infinite diversity of tulips that you can get exactly the size, form and color you desire. Study your location carefully, and group the tulips in clumps of up to a dozen bulbs of the same variety. It is better not to plant tulips in a regimental fashion, or so far apart as to be meaningless as an accent. To create diversity, use 'several varieties in your border, varying the numbers of bulbs .in each clump. The color effect from the free use of tulips can be tremendous. • Continued from Page 1 Frank Cook in arguing against the motion. "It is my personal opinion," countered Councillor Proctor, "that one or two members of the police committee would rather not bring it up." Not having the chief in town and on call for emergencies is ridiculous, said the councillor, adding that he hoped council would "have the guts to back up what it passed a year ago." Councillor Clarence Denomme charged that Councillor Proctor was "just seeking a lot of publicity tonight ... because the press is here." In answer, Mr. Proctor complained that the police committee was "sadly lacking in its duties by not having the information by this time." CRASHES Continued from Page I Commission last week and then at 2:40 a.m. last Saturday was sheared off by another auto. The car which broke off the pole Saturday was driven by Douglas G. Scott of Hensall. The Hensall car left the motel parking lot, went out of control on the wet pavement and hit the pole, police said. About two hours earlier, a car driven east on Huron Street by Charles H. MaCDonald of Kitchener spun around at the main corner and hit a parked car owned by John Rueger of Clinton. The Rueger car was turned and pushed across the highway and was hit by a westbound auto driven by Gerald Blake of RR 2, Clinton. Among accidents investigated by • the Goderich OPP detachment recently was a single-car crash on County Road 31 north of Highway 8 on Oct. 7. Driver was Nellie Maaskant of RR 2, Clinton, Damage was about $400. - The same day, on Sideroad 10 in Goderich Township, Peter Vandriel of RR 2, Goderich, and Alice Adeline Porter of RR 2, Goderich, were involved in a two-ear accident resulting in about $1,400 total damage. 1965 .
