M '' Sowing Seeds in Outdoor Box. Starting flower seeds in a seed box, or special seed-bed, has many advantages, even after spring has arrived, and it is safe to sow out doors Except for those that will not stand transplanting—which are £ew —it enables you to use all the plants that grow, placing each in exactly the spot you want it in the garden During the period of infancy, when the seedling plants need watching, a box may be placed in sun or shade, where'frequent inspection is conveniently made. The plants will usually be free from disease, and have abundant light; so that growth will be faster and the plants more vigorous than indoors. An outdoor box started four weeks later than one indoors, will, often have plants ready to move to the garden only two weeks after the indoor plants. The same methods of preparing Always Firm Soil Over Seed. Transplant Directly Into Garden. a porous soil, sowing the seed, r.nil watering, apply to both outdoo'r and indoor seed bo::es, e::ccpt that the only kind of automatic watering suitable for outdoors i3 wick water ing; and the outdoor box must al ways be well drained. Evaporation will usually be -"z'zr, and more water will be nced~:!. An out^oc.1 box filled with porous soil which lets excess water pass through freely can hardly be overwatorccl, and should be inspected da'ly. If seeds are sown thinly, so that the plants can grow to garden s'.za before being transplanted, time will be gained, since they will grow faster if not subjected tw ee to the shock of being moved. When the little plants are two or three inches high, carry the box directly to the place where they are to be set out. This will enable you to lift and cet them in the garden soil with the least possible disturbance of their roots. I 300-Foot Microwave Tower To Help Probe Unknown i Electronic engineers and scientists are probing deeper into the unknown "microwave realm''—frontier of a vast new field of future radio devel opment:;. To carry on th.-> complex research required to study the micro-wave area and to develop now communi cations uses for them. Federal Tele communication laboratories, research unit of the world-wide I. T. & T., has erected a 300-foot "microwave tow j er", a shining, aluminum-sheathed ' spire thr.t poke.^. like an inquisitive finger, into the sky above suburban Nutley, N. J. T'ns tower is designed to replace a long series of ancestors, some of which still exist. At a demonstration of the part to be placed by the new tower in micro wave research, it was pointed out that towers have been associated with communication and communica tion research for centuries. More than 1/000 years before Christ the fall of Troy was announced to the Grecian royal palace by means of beacon fires used as signals, from Ida to Lemnos, from there to Atho3, the Mount of Jove, to the Watch Towers of Macis | tus, and finally to the roof of the Atreidae. In medieval days, besoiged' efties manipulated a series cf five flaming torches on five towers in spelling out alphabetical letters to communicate with allies outside the city walls. j $537 Million as Dividends | Paid to Insured Americans I Dividends paid to American policy ! holders by the life insurance compan I ieT onera,,'-> e in this country totalled I $537,000,000 in 19'7. the Institute of ! Life I~svrr.nc2 reports. i ! Total dividends left with their com j panics by policyholders, to accumu | late rt i-.t-rcct, for the first time top'oei 51.000.000.000 at year-end. "Policy dividends in 1947 were $35, 000,000 greater than in 1946, an in cr~a<33 of 7 per cent," the institute said. "This incrca.se reflected the Tenter volume of life Insurance own ed and the greater age of the bulk of the policies rather than higher divi dend scales. "Actually, the 1947 dividend scales, where they differed from those of 1946, generally reflected lower rates of refund, due to continued declines in earning rates. Earning rates, mortality experience and operating expenses are the three major factors which determine the dividends to be paid year by year. Dividends paid to policyholders are not dividends in the usual sense, but refunds on. premiums paid for par ticipating policies." During the year, $221,600,000 of the policy dividends coming due to policyholders were used to pay policy premiums. This was the most exten sive use, accounting for 41.3 per cent of total dividends.
