Safety Movie Shown At a called Safety Meeting at tended by the Safety Committee, supervisors and management, Herbert Leigh and Mr. Skindall of the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company showed a slide picture with sound. The title was “Follow The Leader.” This picture was an educational feature put out by the National Safety Council and its purpose was to demon strate the parts that management, supervision, foremen, and employ ees have in obtaining and main taining a safe working plant. This picture was the first of a series of 10 which will be shown to the Safety Committee and sup ervisors. The management is also trying to obtain other suitable safety f:l ns to show to all the employees. Mr. Hughes who has always been a successful gardener gives the following suggestions which have proved helpful. It takes about two ounces of seed corn to plant fifty feet. Space rows two feet apart, plant the seed one inch deep and three inches apart. Later thin the plants until you have a stand about 10 inches apart. At this time add the fertilizer, being sure to mix it with the soil. Cultivate until the corn is about knee high. It would then be advisable to plant squash between the rows and culti vate them with a hoe. Sweet corn can be planted until late in June or July and harvested until frost. With the last cultivation of this fall planting, sow turnip seed in the middle for fall and winter greens and turnips. Tomato plants should be set out when all danger of frost is over. They should be spaced three feet apart each way. If soil is poor any commercial fertilizer can be used before planting or as a side dressing. It is important that the fertilizer does not come into di rect contact with the roots. Mr. Hughes gives three good methods of staking tomato plants. If space is limited train them i against the garden fence, other- i wise use a long single stake with ; hoop or supports. A third good ! method is to use a triangular ar rangement of stakes, using cross pieces for supports. Prune out the sucker growth in order to de" velop more and better tomatoes. Although practiced by a num ber of people Mr. Hughes states that he does not rely on the phase of the moon for determining planting time. According to Mr. Hughes, the successful gardener will plant when the soil is warm and properly prepared, and care fully care for his crop while it grows. If an employee, his wife, or both are age 65 or over, or if your wife or husband is blind you will be eligible for more exemption from income tax as of May 1. Come to the Per sonnel Office immediately for completing necessary blanks. On April 8, Mrs. E. H.
