STERILIZING SOIL FOR HOME
VEGETABLE GARDEN
To prevent the vegetables’ seedlings
against “damping off" just as they are
getting a good start, disinfect the con
tainer, soil and seeds. “Damping off”
is a rot disease caused by fungus par
asites.
Any seed flats or containers should
l>e scrubbed with soap and boiling
water before being used.
As illustrated in the Garden-Graph
the soil can be sterilized by steaming.
This is done by pouring four and one-
half gallons to a box fourteen .by thir-
■ ty by three inches high. Allow the soil
to dry two days before planting
seeds in it.
Baking the soil in the oven for
hour at a medium temperature is
ther method.” Treating the dry
with formaldehyde dust, three level
tablespoons to a flat, and watering
thoroughly before seeding is still an-
•other process.
Seeds can be disinfected by mixing
them, before planting, with material
made for this purpose, which can be
purchased at seed stores.

THE SCOTS AGAIN. Here is an
amazing story of commerce, even for
the Scots, Sixty years ago,
dee men - an engineer, a
one of private means and
manufacturers - formed a
called the Matador Land and Cattle
Company Limited, and went into the
business of ranching,
Not one of these men had the slight
est knowledge of ranching; they had
never seen a ranch, and would not
have recognized a steer if they'd seen
one.
They sent a fellow-Scotsman, nam
ed Murdo Mackenzie, to manage the
ranch they had bought in Texas. And
he knew as little of the cattle business
as they did!
* * *
LARGEST IN WORLD. Today,
the Matador Ranch is one of the two
largest in the world. It is 56 miles
long and 42 miles wide. Nearly 20,000
animals are shipped from, it every year
to the meat markets.
And it is now owned by 400 Scots
who have never seen it!

A STRANGE DISH! How would
you like to eat onion and octopus? The
natives, of the Dodecanese, those Ital
ian-owned isles which you’re going to
hear a lot about in the near future, re
gard this as a really succulent dish!
They say that the octopus has 41
lives and must be battered against a
rock thpt many times before it is dead.
Personally, we’ll stick to steak; it is
sometimes .tender!
-Incidentally, most of the natives of
these islands, which lie close to Tur
key’s shores, are Greeks. The Dode
canese were formerly Greek, but were
taken by the Turks until the Italians
took them shortly before the last war.

ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS?
