County Agent's Column a , Transplanting Transferring of a plant from the plant bed to the garden should be accomplished quickly and with utmost care. Even when the best method is used, transplanting' does cause some stoppage of the growth says Leo N. Seltenright, county agent. The bare-rooted plants, those lifted from the soil without or with a small amount of soil adhering to the roots, should be well protected from drying. The root system and the plant growth have developed an equal balance between the two which should be kept. Seltenright says, “You should lift the plants gently from the seed bed, keep them covered with a damp cloth and set the plant in moist soil. Transplanting in the late afternoon or evening is the best time.” A plant starter solution composed of one-half pound of 10-10-10 or a special plant starter mixture, in 15 gallons of water will give the plant a good start. Use from H to 1 pint of this solution around the plant to settle and moisten the soil around the roots. Transplants from flower pots or other plant boxes should be handled gently so that the soil around the roots is not disturbed. , .Cabbage, pepper, tomato and Other stem type plants should be Te-set about an inch or more deeper than they grew originally. Head lettuce, endive, and other crown type plants should be re set at soil level. With all transplants, see that the soil is firm around the roots.

Near-Record Output Os Steel Reported Steel Ugot Output Is Near To Record CLEVELAND (INS) — Steel magazine predicted today that if steel ingot output goes any higher, it will set a new tonnage record. The national metalworking weekly pointed out that the production of 2,317,000 tons of steel for ingots and castings in the week just ended about equaled i the. record of 2,234,000 set in March, 1953, during the Korean war. In producing the near-record total last week, the industry operated at 96 percent of capacity, an increase of a halp percent over the preceding week. Steel said, however, that current output is not likely to go much higher. "There have been times when the steel industry has run at more than 100 percent of capacity, but those were war times and capacity was not so great as it is now,” Steel explained. < Public Library To Be Closed Wednesday The Decatur public library will be closed all day Wednesday so that Miss Bertha Heller librarian, and her staff members can attend the district number two meeting of Indiana librarians at Bluffton, Regular library hours will be resumed again Thursday.
