Practical frl Seed Boxes for Early Start By W. J. DRYDEN, WNU Farm Editor. A seed box should be a part of every well planned garden. Not only will it be utilized to give plants a head start by sowing seeds before the outdoor's soil is workable, but it Gray be used to advantage through- out the gardening season. A small box in a sunny window will give the seeds of a few favor- ite vegetables or flowers, several weeks' head -start this spring. While the first crop is being raised in the garden, replacements can be kept going in the seed box. The seed box will never remain Idle in a well planned garden, The size and type of seed box will depend upon the individual requirements. It will be advis- able for gardeners to consider the new method of wick feeding- or eedingor watering in their seed boxes. Bore a hole in the shallow seed box, insert a wick, preferably of fibre glass about four inches long. Even a piece of cotton rope will serve as a wick. The box is raised over a pan containing wa- ter. Before the wick will start to carry water to the seed bed, it will be necessary to first satu- rate the soil. This method will provide the soil with the proper amount of moisture, provided water is always kept in the pan. Seed boxes should be filled with a highly porous soil or one of the newer soil substitutes such as tor- pedo sand, peat moss mixed in equal parts with good black top soil. Vermiculite or sphagnum moss else, prove excellent soil substitutes, and, in addition to being reasonable in price, prove more effective in growing better plants than soil. The small amount of these substitutes required in the seed box makes, them very practical. They are ster- ile and there will be no loss from fungus. When these substitutes are used, it will be necessary to furnish the plant food upon nutrient solu- tions. EMPTY CHAIR MARKS SOVIET UNO SEAT :: ifM^..,i ':.oma•..' : .

Lewis' 400,000 United Mine Workers (A.F.L.) began a countryside strike against the soft coal industry, threatening an in: - mediate slowdown, in steel produc- tion and gradual paralysis of the nation's reconversion program. The United States' idle because of labor disputes skyrocketed to 777,000, the highest total in nearly three weeks. Pesident John L. Lewis of the union, said there would be , no picketing.

Arctic Glider Makos History Aviation history was made when a glider was successfully launched and picked up north of the Arctic circle. It was used to drop supplies at Coppermine where the mobile force of exercise Muskox, which left Churchill, Man., Feb. 15, has arrived at the half -way mark on its 3,100 -mile Arctic trek. At Coppermine, 100 miles north of the Arctic circle, the glider was cut loose and dropped swiftly to the snow, landing with a new en- gine for a Muskox snowmobile. Thirty-six minutes later it was again airborne, the snatch rig working perfectly, and an unevent- ful flight was made over the Franklin mountains to Copper - mine. Mexico Broad Crisis Mexico City millers, alarmed over reports that United States wheat shipments would cease, said that "if the United States Govern- ntent does not release shipments of wheat to Mexico within the next 20 days Mexico City will be without bread." The national dis- tributors and regulators said it had been advised by the United States that shipments would cease. Peace in the Far East Gen.

Elections in Greece An overwhelming defeat for Communist and other left wing parties was indicated on the basis of unofficial returns from -last week's elections, which paved the way for the possible return of King George II to the Greek throne.

Warrier, first aircraft carrier to wear Canada's green maple leaf on her funnel, steamed into her hone port last week from Portsmouth, England, on her maiden voyage.

Cut In Berlin Rations The Allied Kommanclatur adop- ted a stricter schedule of food ra• tioning for Berliners, effectvie May 1, after the French complain- ed that Berliners were eating bet- ter than French citizens. Authorities estimated that a downward regrading of several thousand of Berlin's 3,000,000 per- sons would save from 5 to 10 per cent of food imports. The food ration in Berlin is tin- der four -power control, and dif- fers from the rations in the vari- ous occupation zones. Death From Tidal Wave A huge tidal wave brought death and destruction to a 4,000 -mile area in the Pacific extending from Hawaii to the Aleutians and as far south as Chile.

Hawaii suffered the greatest casualties Ceilings Raised increasing pressure o11 Canada's anti-inflation policy, loth from ex- port price ancl increased domestic costs, was r'epor'ted by the prices board in a series of weekend an- nouncmien ts making upward ;tLl- justments in price ceilings of .asci, pulp and paper, lumber, nuola, es, bedding, butter and pork.
