Plants Get Hungry, Just Like Humans If your shrubs, flower plants or trees look sickly, it is highly proba ble that they are hungry, says John H Harris, extension landscape spec ialist of State College. Plants eat much as humans, but instead of meats and vegetables, they feast largely on nitrogen, phosphorous and potash, he explained Harris recommends that either complete rommerrial fertilizers ILL manure be applied to plants and trees In the early spring, just before growth starts. For non-flow ering shrubs a fertilizer analyzing 10 per cent nitrogen. 6 per cent phosphor -ww. and -t per cout potash ?- consid ered best But nitrogen produces an abundance of foliage and not much bloom, so flowering plants should have a 4-12-4 fertilizer: in other words, i""*11? the nitrogen, -which, promotes growth, and increase the phosphorous, which promotes thej bloom. The usual method of applying fer tilizer to shrubs and flower plants ? is tp broadcast tt-over the-ground! and. work lightly into the soil. For tries, the extension specialist advises a slightly different proced ure In the first place, some of the symptoms of an undernourished tree are thin foliage, small yellow - ish leaves, lack of growth, dead branches, branches dying back at the tips and undersize buds. If manure is used, it may be ap plied at any time of the year If com mercial fertilizer is used, it should be applied from February 15 to July 15 to do the most good A good fer tilizer such as 6-8-6, 5-10-5. or 4-8-4 may be applied at the rate of one half to one pound of fertilizer to each one inch diameter of the tn*o A good way to apply this is t" punch holes with a crowbar to a depth of 12 to 15 inches around the tree, applying the proportionate amount in each hole. The holes should start near the base of the tree and extend well past the spread of ?h? hmnrhrn f Chevrolet Includes New Booster Unit ???

Karl Elijah, of Clarence, a livestock association official, testified: "It would be a mistake for any Republi can to come into Iowa and try t" ops. t all the things that Henry Wal luce a native son of Iowa, has been trying to do." He added One of the dumbest things we did in the last ? h elion was to make so much fuss . hout importations from the Argen tine The farmer understands that we can't sell without buying, particularly when we are a creditor nation."

With a flashlight, he lighted up the whole ice area, calmed the girls panic, pulled her out el the water, administered first aid, and then took her to her home. When he first heard the girl's cries, Tice was standing on the bank. The night was very dark, writh no moon, and the cries came from a spot well off shore. How ever, with the help of his Hashlight, Tice quickly located her and made his way toward her over the thin ning ice.
