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 Meetings to be resumed Retired personnel of Mason General Hospital will resume meetings on September 20 and will meet • thereafter on the third Wednesday of each month.'

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.
