Good Nursing Needed in Transplanting Plants WHEN REMOVING SEEDLING FROM FLAT AVOID DISTURBING ROOTS BY TAKING. PLENTY SOIL WITH IT. Three Steps in From the opening of the ing season until cold weather checks out warm days, there is always more or less transplanting to do. It is an all season task whether it is annuals in spring, perennials in late season, or dividing transplanting perennials. Careful transplanting into garden row or border starts the plants on way with little check.

Poor transplanting will kill many of those moved. Dig a large enough hole to spread out the roots, firm the soil carefully about the roots, soak the transplanted plants into place, and shade newly transplanted plants from hot sun for a few days. These are elemental points in successful transplanting. Another factor is that of trimming the tops to balance the root system which is bound to be somewhat disturbed and shortened in moving. This is done by trimming off half the leaves.

Mix a level tablespoonful of balanced plant food thoroughly is with to the which the seedling be planted. For making holes to receive seedlings from seed rows or boxes, a dibber is the handiest tool. This is merely a steel or cast-iron rather blunt pointed instrument which you stab into the soil, give a twist, and Russia And Japan Sign Neutrality Pact For 5 Years TOKYO, April Japan and Soviet Russia finally came to terms in a five-year neutrality pact which Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye Monday described as "epoch- and as a contribution to "promotion of world The surprise agreement, altered entirely the Far Eastern picture, was announced cously here and in Moscow, it was concluded by Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka and Soviet Premier-Foreign Commissar Vyacheslaff Molotoff. Konoye declared the new ment was entered upon to the purpose of the three-power pact with Germany and Italynamely to "prevent the world-wide spread of war and to secure the peace of greater East Asia." and Soviet Russia, traditional foemen in the Far East, Sunday signed a neutrality pact as world-shaking in its implications as the aggression accord reached between Moscow and Berlin 2 0months ago. The four-point pact says that each undertakes to respect the other's "territorial inviolability," and that each will remain neutral in case one of the signatories is the "object of military action on the part of one or several powers." Such neutrality is to be observed throughout any such conflict.

Each "guarantees peaceful and friendly relations" with each other. It is effective for five years and is renewable for an additional fiveyear period unless one side or the MOSCOW, April -Japan SET SEEDLING DEEPER THAN IT WAS IN FLAT, FIRM THE SOIL AROUND IT AND GIVE SOAKING. Transplanting USE BERRY BOX OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO SHADE SEEDLING FROM DIRECT SUN. the hole is ready for the plant. It is much faster than digging each hole with a trowel.

The dibber will also be very useful for bulb planting in the fall. You need one in distances, carefully in transplanting. little seedlings look lost and lonely when put a foot apart, as in the case of zinnias, but attain remember, the chance size to they do their best. It will pay and you will get more from your plants than if you crowd them so no plant can reach its best development. Select a cloudy day if possible also preferably a cool one to avoid the wilting of the plants.

Pour a little water in the hole soak before you set the plant and then it in afterwards. The object is to get the earth in as close and perfect contact with the roots of the plant as possible so that the roots will at once begin the work of supporting the plant and starting it into renewed growth. transplanting, recovery is quickest if plant is shaded from the hot sun for a day or so. Paper tents are easily made from newspaper, anchored with a few clods. Strawberry boxes may, be saved for the purpose, as: they are easily handled.

BERLIN, April the opinion of authorized German quarters, the new Japanese-Soviet Russian neutrality pact frees Japan's hands in the Far East. With nothing to fear from Russia, Japan evidently is greatly strengthened in her relations toward the United States and Britain in the Orient, German observers said. "News of the pact, of course, is received with deepest satisfaction here," a spokesman said. The agreement, in the German view, should have a sobering influence on elements in the United States which it is said here are trying to push American foreign icy into deep international waters Swanson- (Continued trom Page 1) Mr.

Noted Woman Astronomer, Classifier Of More Stars Than Any Other, Dies At Home In Cambridge In 77th Year CAMBRIDGE, April 14., -Dr. Annie Jump Cannon, 77, the world's most famous woman astronomer, died yesterday. During her life work as astronomer at the Harvard College observatory, Annie Jump Cannon classified more stars than any other person in the world. Her researches brought her international fame. She had recorded, according to their spectra, almost 400,000 stellar bodies; and discovered more than 300 variable stars, five novae, and one spectroscopic binary, or double star.

First woman ever to receive an honorary doctor's degree from Oxford University, she also had the distinction of being the first woman ever elected an officer of the American Astronomical Society. She was one of the few honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society of London. In 1929 she was listed among 12 "greatest living American women" chosen by the National League of Women Voters. Her greatest single achievement -classifying the spectra of a quarter of a million stars to make up the famed Henry Draper catalogue for international use- won her the Henry Draper medal of in 1931. It was the first a time the the National Academy of Sciences academy had made the award to a woman.

She was graduated from Wellesley College, received her bachelor of science degree in 1884, and a master of arts in 1907. After doing advanced study at Radcliffe for two years, she went to Harvard as an assistant in 1897. For a time, Miss Cannon was stationed at the Harvard Observatory at Arequipa, Peru. She became curator of astronomical photographs at Harvard in 1911, and in 1938, was named William Cranch Bond astronomer, a post established in honor of the founder of the college observatory. She held honorary degrees from the University of Delaware, University of Groningen, Holland; Mt.

Holyoke, Oglethorpe University, Georgia, and Wellesley, and was a member of many scientific societies. Starts Today, April 14th th th ANNIVERSARY SAVINGS 2nd WEEK SAVINGS wool Super Rayon Value!
