Professor Plant By ARNOLD and CONNIE KROCHMAL ; As the shatter days of fall and winter approach, the light needs of house plaMlre of interest and concent. It isn’t uncommon to find houseplants be coming spindly, usually due to inadequate light. Supplemental light sources are suggested to keep the plants growing well. ; -With energy prices as they ate, we usually think of riuorcsccnl sources as being the best bet for added light inside. They are relatively inexpensive to op- (irale, and they have a long life expectancy as well. Fluorcsccnts also produce fpss heat than incandescenis. which is betler for your plants’ well-being, as the Ifuetesccnts do not foster too great a temperature changes indoors. : There are available a variety of both fluorcsccnts and incandescents made Especially for plant use. Local garden stores and shopping ccnteis arc sources, ‘jrhesc have their spectrum in the range which plants require, which ordinary Ught sources do lUH. We have found that 40-watt or smaller lubes work well for the indoor gm- dener. If you are handy, you can inslall a while reflector with these to provide the maximum amount of light. For plants which require a high level of light, it may be a good idea to combine incandescent bulbs with the lubes. Wc have had good results using a ratio of about one incandescent watt to each flve ^oorescent walls. , The fluorescent fixtures we useare two or four feel long, matching available light lute. If you turn off the heal at night as wc do in our house, a liming dc- to provide some extra light also will be a good step. Wc set our timers to ^um the lights on and off, going on at 6 p.m. and off at 10 the following morning. ! During Ihe winter months plants arc less active in growing, so it is a good idea to reduce water amounts, using just enough to keep the leaves from will ing. As growth stows, less water is required; winter is a kind of holding period Tor most plants. I At the same time, fertilizer use also should be reduced to onc-lhiid to onc- rouith Ihe amount used during the growing season, as the slower growth and the reduced water supply cut back ihe amount of fcnilizer needed and amounts entering solution moving into the plant. LordI II proclaims the past and foretells Ihe future. It’s the only book that tell us where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going. In it you'll find a plan lor a satisfying life and power for a successful life. It's sure in its promises, sanc tifying in its precepts and sweet in its prospects. It's no common book. Like the little boy said, "I got a letter from Ihe Lord." SEEDS I m 11 ■irwiF FROM 4 THE Y. SOWER* MicHsdA.Guhle Mcner.GcotfU Along The Pathway Along the pathway of life there are times many of us fail to listen. I read an article in a paper last Thursday morning that really opened my eyes. The article was titled “Daddy, you are not listening.” The dad was so carried away in his sports program oa television that he failed to listen when his little girl kept trying to tell him she saw a light flickering on and off, until he began to smell an unusual odor in the house. It was almost too late to save his family. After getting all out with just a narrow escape, except for the nine- month-old baby, the smoke had gotten so bad he had to crawl out on burning carpet. If the carpet had not been ftame-retardent, he would not have made it. The point I would like to get across is: Mom, dad, grandfather and grandmother, are you listening? When your child or your grandchild tries to tell you something, do you ignore them and tell them to go play, go to bed or that you are too busy? Mother, dad, grandfather and grandmother, you need to take time to listen to the child, whether it be a small child, older child or teen-ager. You need to listen with your mind open, with a prayer in your heart that you can read between the lines. The need may be gre ater than you realize. Sometimes the need may be too great for the child to put into words. You need to listen with keen observation and tiy to analyze what is on the child's mind. Sometimes we could ease a lot of heartaches or calm quite a few fears if we would oaly take the time to listen with a prayer ia our hearts and enough love to reach out and lend a helping hand. When we fail to hear with heartfelt love and prayer, we could be missing a great opportunity to guide our child away from drugs or guide them to making other decisions that would be for the best in terest in his or her life. The family life, our personal lives and communication in the fam ily have a very great affect on children. Parents, take time to hear what your children are trying to tell you, with a prayer in your heart that is seeking help from the one above who is able to guide in all things. Let the child know that you love him or her and you are a friend. Live the life in front of them that you should, rooted and grounded in the Lord, with joy in the Lord showing in your life and a love that can be felt and the results seen. Now is the time to pointyour child in the direction of the Savior who can make the difference in all of this life and eternity. Will You Take Time To Listen? Would you let a chance go by to hear your child cry for help? If you fail to hear his call, he may turn to the wrong source. Little by little you may lose all the trust he has for you. Left with no one to hear, he may choose the wrong way. You have an opportunity today you may never have again. Of, if yoiu would only take the time to hear his plea. Urgent needs could be met and ease a little one’s heartache. The need to you may seem little but to him it is great. At least you could take the time to lend a listening ear, Keeping his trust near your heart, it will help, Even if there seems to be no way to solve the case. The love you show will help to ease a lot of pain. If you will only take the time to lend a listening ear. Make a bond and make it now, your child needs you. Even an understanding smile will help, you will see. The tie you make with an understanding heart is worthwhile. Oh, if you will let him know you are his friend. Let him know that you can be trusted to do your best. In every act let him see the love of God in you. Sharing and comparing all the pros and cons. Tell him the best for him is your desire. Even if he can’t see the way you do, let him know you care. Now is the time to listen, you could win your child. It’s up to you, will you take time to listen? — Rcba W.
