PLANT BULBS NOW FOR SPRING COLOR The flowers that bloom in the spring must be planted in the fall. Lawrence Hoyle. Area Extension • Agent in Landscaping, says spring flowering bulbs usher in spring as no other garden flowers can. But there won’t be spring flowers unless bulbs are planted this fall. September and October are the best months to plant them, although planting can be done until the soil freezes. Most bulbs are inexpensive; they flower every year and need no special care until they become crowded. Hoyle explains all bulbs grow best in a well drained soil. Some prefer sun while others do best in shade. - Favorites among hardy bulbs for early spring are crocus, muscari, scilla and eranthis, followed in mid-sufnmer by narcissus and tulips, and in summer by lilies.

one of three kinds of places: in borders together with other flowers; in special beds where - they will be followed by annuals, or in natural groupings among trees and shrubs. Established bulbs should be dug, divided and replanted every third or fourth year. Digging should be done as soon as possible after foliage has died down if the bulbs are to be separated and replanted at once. Or, they may be stored for later fall planting. What do you look for in buying bulbs? First of all, domestic bulbs are as good as imported bulbs. Buy bulbs which are large, firm and free of disease. Diseased bulbs look moldy, discolored, or soft and rotted. Buy from a dealer who sells good bulbs. Cheap bulbs usually are of poor quality. To plant, first loosen the soil 8 to 12 inches deep. Work in two pounds of 5-10-5 fertilizer per 100 square feet. Plant small flowering bulbs so that the base of the bulb is three inches below the soil surface; plant large flowering bulbs six inches deep, Space them as wide as they will be planted deep. After planting, soak the soil. Where winters' are severe, protect the bulbs by mulching. Cover the planted bulbs with two to four inches of peat moss, wood chips or oak leaves when the ground freezes one to two inches deep Mulch prevents freezing and thawing that harms bulbs.

Stoplight - (Continued from page 1) his guide, citing seven warrants the department used as a guide to determine the necessity for a traffic signal. He said the controversial corner at Milford just simply didn’t have the necessary 500-car per hour count required for a light. He also commented that, once the traffic lights at North Webster and Silver Lake were removed — either by accident or otherwise — they would not be replaced. This sent a shockwave through jxsidentsof these two communilies Road Divides Schools Don Arnold, superintendent of the Lakeland school corporation and a resident of West Emeline street in Milford (just over a block from the traffic light) came up with the most convincing argument of all when he cited the number of youngsters who went from the Milford junior high school to the Milford elementary school daily. While Mr. Stucky said this matter was not taken up in his manuals, he did say he knew of no similar case in the department's Fort Wayne division where a

state highway divided two schools. Robert Swager of Syracuse, a member of the Fort Wayne division who happened to be a guest at the Aug 17 meeting, said he knew of no similar incident either. Following the August 17 meeting at the Milford fire station where there was a 100 per cent show of hands for the reinstatement of the Milford traffic light, Elmo Stuckey strongly urged Milford town board president Carl Duncan to sign a waiver allowing the state highway department to install 25 mile per hour road signs near the Milford school. Duncan flatly refused, stating he learned later that if he had signed the waiver, the town in all likelihood would never get its stop light back. State senator Augsburger at the meeting said he stood with the state in upholding the state’s statutes. Letter Writers A number of Milford’s influential residents began a letter writing some of the letters going to representatives and state officials Among these were Mr. Duncan of the town board arid superintendent Ar-

nold The group caught the active attention of state representative Thames Mauzy of W'arsaw, and knowing Mr. Mauzy’s personal friendship with Indiana Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb, thought this to be the line to pursue. Representative Mauzy met with several Milford residents privately and said he would do what he could to have the light reinstated. At his first convenience he brought the matter to the attention of Governor Whitcomb and was promised the governor would look into the ipatter. It was later learned the governor took the matter up with the state highway department but met with resistance at the Fort Wayne office. It looked for a time like the return of the Milford stop light was in serious jeopardy. In the interim, the Fort Wayne division made two day-long traffic counts on the corner, and local residents thought all their efforts had gone up in smoke. Representative Mauzy went back to Governor Whitcomb and said he was becoming impatient with the delay at Milford. It was then that Governor Whitcomb put a “post haste” marker on the order to the highway department, and things began to move. Then last Friday a new, stronger pole was put up on the northwest corner in order to support a new, heavier twin light. The two lights, of modern design, arrived on Monday and were put up later that day. At first the lights were on blinker, flashing red on the eastwest lane, and amber on the road 15 north-south lane. But at 11 a m. Tuesday highway department workmen Dick Baker of North Webster and Glenn Brown of Fort Wayne switched the-light over to normal operation , A time light is on the new' light in order to switch it over to blinker at 9:30 and back to normal operation at 7 a m. In an obvious mood of thankfulness. one townsman was heard to say as the new traffic lights went up at Milford. “Who says you can't work within the system.”

State To Honor Remonstrance Petition The state tax commission will honor the remonstrance petition to the proposed 60-cent Lakeland school corporation cumulative building fund, according to a statement from county auditor Lawrence Butts this morning. Auditor Butts said he had the word from Carelton Phillipi. a member of the state commission, when he talked to him at the state auditors' meeting at Turkey Run State Park last Wednesday. Mr. Butts said the petition came in too late for the county tax commission hearing, but that the state would honor the petition signed by 12 Lakeland school

corporation freeholders. The petition was- filed with the county auditor on Wednesday, Sept. 16, and the county tax board met on Sept. 14. The petition objects to the 35cent increase in the corporation’s cumulative building fund. The fund is now 25 cents per SIOO of taxable valuation, and the board proposes to increase it 35 cents, to 60 cents per SIOO. i
