Plants grow without soil
Soilless gardening is far from
new, but it is rapidly increasing
in popularity.
It has been known by various
names such as chemical
gardening and hydroponics.
Whatever it may be called, it
involves no principles of plant
growing that have not been
familiar for many years.
Except for carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen taken from the
atmosphere by its leaves, a plant
obtains all nutriment in the form
of a weak solution taken in by
feeding roots. In ordinary
situations this solution consists
of moisture contained in soil and
in which are dissolved the
various salts and plant food
elements as derived from the soil
itself or added by the gardener
in the form of fertilizers.
If one substitutes for the soil
and its content a systematically
prepared solution of chemicals
from which the plant may obtain
equirements, the methil only
has been changed. The operation
remains the same.
When plants are grown in a
material providing no food value,
the substance is utilized merely
as a support for the specimens.
In such a case the nutrient
solution is poured onto the
material until it submerges the
roots, and then is allowed to
drain away.
This operation is repeated at
frequent intervals or may be
pumped into the container from
below and allowed to run back
into a supply tank; or it may be
supplied from an elevated
reservoir from which it falls drop
by drop to keep roots constantly
supplied with food but never
wet.
Growing in a medium other
than soil in no way removes the
necessity for favorable conditions
and for correct care. In many
ways it is more difficult than
growing in soil. It does, however,
offer the decided advantage of
making possible exact control.
Sand has been proclaimed by
many growers as superior to soil
for the starting of seeds. It is
sald that Seedlin are less apt to
damp.off when grown in sand
and also that sand-grown
seedlings attain superior root
systems. The sand method may
be used in a sunny window, a
hotbed or a greenhouse.
Only clean sand should be
used. It should be free of silt or
loam or salt. Whether obtained
from a natural source or from a
commercial source it should be
washed in several changes of hot
water (160 degrees or above)
until it remains clean when
stirred.
Place sand to a depth of two
inches in very clean fiats or
boxes or any container that will
permit ready drainage. For each
square foot of sand surface
dissolve one.half teaspoonful
potassium nitrate in four ounces
of water and sprinkle over sand.
For larger areas such as a hotbed
add an ounce of potassium
nitrate to three pints of water
for ten square feet of sand.
Sow seed in rows or
broadcast, and cover lightly with
more washed sand. Keep surface
moist with occasional watering,
using a fine and gentle spray,
until seedlings are grown. The
potassium nitrate will carry the
seedlings until they are ready to
transplant. If growing is to be
continued in a medium other
than soil, a nutrient solution
must be provided.
The purpose of such a
solution is to provide an
adequate supply of the three
vital elements required for plant
development - nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium.
Chemical salts must be selected
to supply other necessary
elements.
So many commercial
solutions are available that it is
.needless for the gardener to
compound his own formulas.
However, no one solution can
give good results with all kinds
of plants and under all
conditions.
Constant observation of
plants will tell the grower
whether the solution is correct.
Experimentation will show the
balance of nutrients best for
each growia pr, ojct .... "1

Fishing
closed
Several areas of Hood Canal
and the Skokomish River have
been closed to commercial
salmon fishing by the fisheries
department, under emergency
regulations adopted August 30.
The following areas are
closed for the periods indicated:
Areas 12, 12C, 12E, and all
off-reservation waters of the
Skokomish River - closed
immediately and until further
notice.
Area 12D - closed from 9
a.m. Thursday, August 31, until
further notice.
The closures were ordered to
protect the spawning escapement
of fall chinook salmon in these
areas. The allowable harvest-
for both treaty and non-treaty
fishermen - in these waters has
been taken.

MASON COUNTY REALTY
DON'T HELP REALTOR SELL
One of the best ways to
move your house off the
market in a hurry is to keep
out of it when it is being
shown! You should first tell
the realtor everything he
should know about the house,
especially unique features and
then let him do the selling.
If you must be around
When the house is being
shown, greet the prospect
graciously, take the children
and the pets and retire.
This may sound like
uncharitable advice but,
believe me, it's sound. The
realtor is a skilled negotiator;
he has, the experience and
know-how to bring a buyer to
an acceptable price without
showing the emotional
involvement which could put
the seller at a disadvantage.
There are times when
personality conflicts between
buyer and seller have
eliminated bargaining
effectiveness and even lost
sales. Not often -- but it can
and has happened. Why take
the chance.
If there Is anything we can
do to help you in the field of
real estate please phone or
drop in at MASON COUNTY
REALTY, 724 Railroad
Avenue, Shelton, phone
426-446. We're here to help.
