The large standing committees

Rushing
The average person does not
need any encouragement about
rushing the season. Most of them
are far too inclined to tear out
the first fine day and plant every
single flower and "Vegetable seed
they have purchased. Sometimes
they even plant in the rain and
very often long before the soil is
really fit to work. The experienc-
ed gardener, however, knows that
there are safe ways of rushing the
season, little tricks that will ,pro-'
duce flowers and vegetables per-
haps a week or ten days ahead of
the fellow next door. But they
don't get these early things simply
by going out and planting too soon
and in the mud. They practise ap-
proved short cuts.
Take such really warm weather
things as tomatoes, melons or cu-
cumbers among the . vegetables or
same of the more tender flowers.

IThe experienced 'gardeners will
risk a small planting of these
extra early, perhaps ten days or
two weeks before the main plant
ings. But these early rows or
plants will be protected for the
first Weeks when there is danger
of late frost. They will be covered
with special wax paper covers, or
panes of glass or perhaps if one
doesn't mind extra trouble simply
covered loosely with newspapers
at night.
Then too, we may hurry growth
with extra fertilizer or with spec-
ially prepared ,soil er for a , few
extra early tomatoes. or petunias
or we may get extra big started
plants and for the first few weeks
keep protected.
Avoid' Gambling
These are the only safe ways for
rushing the season. Anything else
is a pure gamble and if we actual-
ly sow seeds or set out plants in
wet soggy soil instead of waiting
for it to dry to the crumbling
stage, then we are 'simply wasting
time and materials.

soon. Actually if we want to have
�owers and vegeta•bles.all summer
%and fall, the thing to do is to plant
part of our seed just as soon as the
ground is. ready and then make at
least two more plantings about a
fortnight apart. This spreads the
risk and also the pleasure.
Composts
Every garden should have a cam -
post heap, the experts like to tell
us, but they never explain how
we can squeeze this valuable asset
into a tiny garden where we are
already cramped for space. A com-
post heap is valuable and if there
is room, we should have one down
at the back .by all means. But it
can be a bit of trouble and mess
where the backyard is small. In
that case, the thing 10 do is simply
to bury weeds, grass clippings, and
anything else that will 'rot, quickly
between the rows of vegetables or
lowers. We do not 'bury deeply.
but with a few inches of soil. Any-
hing that will rot has some fertil-
zer value and it tends to keep
he mil open.
If we have a bit more room, then
ve should have a reg,ula,r compost
heap. Here we simply pile in`J
hallow Layers anything that will
lot quickly and we covt'r with soil j
o hep the rotting and keep away '

If you want to make an editor
angry, just come barging into his
sanctum some day when he is read-
ing and, ignoring his desired priv-
acy at th e moment, say derisively
to him: "Is that'all you've got to
do?" Some people have the mis-
taken idea that bectause they find
an editor reading he has run out
of a job and is "just putting in
time." :Nothing could be further
from the truth. Such an opinion
is sheer ignorance. For anyone
who in the course- of his duties has_
to do as much reading as the
average editor, reading cannot be
classed as a recreation. Only thosO
who have been "through the mill'!
so to speak, have any idea as tb
the amount of reading required to
select, write or rewrites the ma-
terial which will comprise the news
content of the paper. Editing the
material is in itself a big job.
The editorial "we" commends
those responsible for sponsoring
the spelling matches which have
been held in various centres It
is our experience that spelling,
sentence structure, division of
words end proper use of apostro-
phes and punctuation is growing
progressively worse. All these
'mean closer editing on the part
of the editor and even despite
this, many errors 'appear: in print.
