ABOUT YOUR HOME —By FRANCES DELL Not many home gardeners know that humus or organic matter made from leaves, weeds, grass clippings and different forms of manure and chemical fertilizers do two entirely different things for a garden. Both types of fertilizers are im portant because they complement each other. Humus mainly promot es the proper texture of the soil, thus allowing air to come into it, j making the soil easier to cultivate. Humus also increases the water holding capacity of soil and pre vents the washing and blowing a way of topsoil. The fundamental reason why most home gardeners are not wise to de pend completely upon all-humus diet for their soil is that unless they have had their soil tested by ex perts, they can't be sure what shortages exist in the soil. And, even if they do find out the existing shortages, they can't be sure what their humus or compost heap con tains. , Chemical fertilizers, on-the-oth er-hand, provide the elements for plant growth that are lacking in the soil. Just which ones are needed can easily be discovered by asking the State Agricultural Stations of almost every state. Of the two types of fertilizers, feeding the soil by chemical means probably will do the most good for the average home gardener. It is very easy to see if soil is hard or lumpy or very sandy—if so, this is very easy to correct by using** com post or manure. Every time a flower is picked or a radish used from a garden a cer amount of phosphorus potassius, calcium or nitrogen is being remov ed also. Since these are essential for normal growth in a garden, it is easy to see how necessary it is to replace the reservoir in the soil to keep it from growing steadily poor er.. LIGHT "Ri&ht NoW, Wherever You Are' Right now, wherever you are ... on o farm, in a store or office, or at some intricate machine . . . chances are that Light is being turned into profit. On the farm, used to warm brooders, it can increase by one fourth the number of pigs that will go to market. Used to light poultry houses, it can increase by 15% the laying time of both turkey and chicken hens. In the store it increases sales . . . first by attracting people in, then by showing the goods to be sold. Sales effectiveness in a modem store is well gauged by the uses to which Light is put in that store. Foctory owners and workers depend on Light to create safe working conditions and to increase efficiency. Better Light means Better Output. Because business-owned companies . . . today furnishing nearly nine-tenths of the electricity used in America . . . have made Light abundant and low-priced, it has become the raw material of profit.
