THOUSANDS OF SEEDLING vegetable and flower plants are grown | given tomorrow afternoon from 2 to successfully each spring in small boxes of soil placed in south or east windows. They are a reliable aid to good gardening if properly handled. | 1! The preparation of the seed box is a simple task but one that needs | care to be reasonably certain of bringing the seedlings to planting size. | given by Robert Yager, who will be In a tightly built box it is advisable to bore holes in the bottom
to assist quick drainage. By cov-
ering the holes with pieces of brok-
en pottery, the soll is prevented from leaking through. 1f a box is loosely put together, with cracks between . its boards, the drainage holes may be omitted. For the finer seeds it is an excellent plan to cut burlap to fit the box and lay it over the coarse drainage and then place the soil upon it so that the box may be watered by setting it in a pan of water and there will be no danger of washing the tiny seeds or seedlings. Firm
the soil and sow the seed thinly in rows. This is better than sowing broadcast as it will be appreciated when it comes to transplanting. Thin sowing is economy. Quantities of seed are wasted by too thick planting. The tiny plants crowd ‘each other and none of them has a fair chance when they come up thick as fur. This necessitates early transplanting before the seedlings are strong enough to ‘be handled. Cover the seed boxes with a damp cloth or piece of paper until germination starts, then place a pane of glass over the top. Remove the paper or cloth as soon as the first tiny sprouts break the soil. Wipe off the covering glass when water collects on it from evaporation. This will prevent moisture from dripping. During the day prop up one edge of the covering glass for ventilation. Keep seed box soil moist but not wet or waterlogged. Good drainage will take care of this, provided water: enough to :soak the soil is applied when needed, which is likely to be once a day. Give the seed box all the sunlight possible. If the seediings do not have sufficient light they will .reach for it, growing tall, spindly and weak. Humid air is also desirable for thems a kitchen window facing south is a good place for a seed box since the kitchen air usually has the most moisture. | When the seedling plants have formed their second pair of . leaves they may be transplanted to another box where they will have

The Question Box
Q—What is the correct height of a sink used for washing dishes? ~~ A—The best way to find the answer to-this question is to experiment. Place a board or pie tin under your dish pan the next time you use it. If this seems to be more comfortable, add’ another board when you wash dishes again. Continue this procedure until you are conscious that the pan is too high. Then lower the surface. height by removing as many boards. as necessary until your posture when washing - dishes is correct and you are comfortable. Then measure from the botjom of ‘the dish pan: to: the floor, and the distance will be the height from the floor for a standard six-inch sink.
