Tcnn. UPI-A garden In every basement to fur- nlsh vegetables and flowers for cv- try family is the ambition of Edward J. Bedoit, horticultural 1st.

What nourishment a plant needs is easily determined by chemical analysis of a leaf, he says. The needed portions are then fed to thn plant through a mixture poured into the medium (soil, nshos, peat or moss) which supports the plant roots. Sunlight and soil are unnecessary declares Bedoit. Everything furnished the plants by these elements can be given through the "mixture." When the plan becomes practical, the "mixture" formula would bv standardized and could be nought from a chemist, would be slight. Bodolt says he has grown tomatoes which fruited as rapidly and plentifully as plants grown outdoors.

His "dark" grown string beans produced 14 days earlier than beans grown in the open.

When the plug was replaced today, it was moved 15 feet back from Its original sltuatian. No more trouble from trucks now Is expected. The first time the plug was broken, a flood of water let loose In Belle street found its way, into Piasa creek and washed out a dam placed to keep the creek-bed dry while the WPA sewer Job was proceeding just north of West Ninth street. Workmen replaced the dam only to see menaced when the plug was torn out for the.second time yesterday noon.

Water rose almost to the top of the dam before em- ployes could get the water shut off from the broken plug. But with WPA workers on hand to keep' the dam In shape, las second destruction was averted, and another delay on the sewer extension job avoided.
