tee ballots in the last Davidson

newed this week by Chief Inves
tigator Willard I. Gatling of the

Seedlings started indoors or
plants purchased from the
commercial growers should De
ready now for transplanting to the
garden. This shifting should be
done on a cloudy day or after the
sun has set, and plants should be
watered several hours before they
are moved, so that roots will be
moist—not wet—and soil will cling
to them in a ball.
Make a. hole in the garden row
with a trowel, large enough to ac
commodate the plant's roots and
the clump of earth, leaving about
an inch of stem below the surface
of the soil. Padk the earth around
the roots, and firm the surface soil
around the plant stem.
Water the soli generously with
a solution of liquid fertilizer made
by adding about a handful of com
plete plant food to a gallon oi
water. If you prefer, a ring of fer
tilizer containing a good amount
of nitrogen may be dusted around
the plant to promote leaf growth.
To prevent cutworms from at
tacking young plants, protect the
lower part of the stem with wrap
ping paper or tin cans open at the
ends.
