IT -4, Ult1. -T; -1 m-m -mi II tit II The above photo of the old sugar beet plant, located at the end of Atwood ave, was taken in 1927. The building, now occupied by Garver's Supply today presents a chanced appearance due to numerous improvements and alterations effected by the Garver Co. since its acquisition of the property four years ago.

i w.f ii BLOWING INSULATION IN Now Is Time to Start on Your Spring Garden GarverFirm Accessible to Truck Lines Has Strategic Location for Wholesale Center The location of the Garver's Sup- ply because of its strategic posi-I tion in the old sugar beet factory at the end of Atwood is unsurpass- ed as an ideal wholesale center, i Reached by a well maintained pri- i vate road leading from U. S. highway ol. the company's plant and warehouses are accessible to all truck lines operating on established routes. In addition to the North Western i railroad, the main line of which pass- es through the property, the com- to all railroad trunk lines serving Madison.

The large brick building, covering approximately acres of the 184 acres represented in the property grounds, is served by 10 sidetracks. Roadways from the highways accommodate trucking transportation. A 100-foot loading dock, recently added at the rear of the building, permits the loading of several trucks and railroad cars at the same time. While some sections of the 4-story building are devoted to warehouse space for the storing of grains, flour, salt, sugar, roofing materials, wire fencing and mixed feeds, other sections house machinery used in the grinding, pulverizing and mixing of grains and other ingredients for livestock and poultry feeds. It was four years ago that the Garver's Supply then known as the Economy Feed Milling took over the old sugar beet factory property.

Since that time, and with the addition of new products, the company now operates a business which serves a wiue area 111 me siaie. dairying more than 300 items in livestock and poultry feeds, the Garver company supply every known feed, or feed combination required by farm stock in this section. King Midas flour, featured at The Madison Newspapers Foods on Parade cooking school, is distributed by Garver's Supply co. King Midas flour, a produzct of a Minneapolis Milling is known by its slogan: "The highest priced flour in America and worth all it costs." Between four and five carloads of this flour are carried currently by the Garver company. by frequent dividing and fall is a good time to do this.

The Shasta Daisy often dies if not divided every thl- year, at least. Pyrethrum and Boltonias should always be divided every other year, to be kept at their best. Seedlings can be transplanted in their quarters if the plants are of a substantial size. Great care must be taken to see that they are properly mulched and that the mulch is close around the stems. Biennials, such as Canterbury Bells and Fox Glove, should be given a covering of dry leaves, and over that an old sash or tar paper, as they must be both mulched and protected from wet weather If they are to survive.

They are very subject to crown rot if they are not properly protected." 1 In solving the problem of home comfort against the certain chilly blasts of approaching winter and as protection against every extreme outside temperature during the life of the home, the wise owner is turning to insulation as the answer, according to Jerome Sullivan and W. H. Richgels, salesmen and technical insulating advisors of Home Insulation of Madison, local Johns-Manville representative. Although the practical application for insulation materials discovered more than 76. years ago, was first confined to such use as oven and commercial insulation, a later use and a practical application for the past half -century was that of house insulation.

The discovery and development of such use for this material was pioneered and has been carefully developed by the laboratory engineers of the Johns-Manville company" Mr. Sullivan said. Blows Insulation In "The installation of insulating material in homes under construction was obviously a simple matter. To successfully insulate a home already built, however, presented a new problem. It remained for the ingenious engineers of Johns-Manville to solve this problem.

A power unit, supplying air under pressure which literally blows the light, fluffy material into every nook and cranny of the building being treated, was the solution. 5 -Our equipment, approved by the manufacturer, is truck-trailer combination. The truck is used to carry "materials while the trailer attachment carrying the mounted power unit, complete the equipment, which can be moved from one location to another quickly. The equipment is parked at the curb in front of the house to be serviced," Mr. Sullivan Added.

As shown in the accompanying photograph, insulating material is forced from the supply truck through a long hose under pressure and blown, through openings made at vantage points by the removal of boards from the house into every open space between walls and ceilings, tin brick houses, bricks are removed in a similar manner.) Because of the system which is controlled automatically, the worker controls the density and pressure of the air as the material passes through the hose. In this manner it is easier to observe that the insulation is filling every opening.

Kelly Motor Service manager. "At this time of year, and for those motorists who find great annoyance in rattling and squeaky cars, a general tightening of loose parts is -s much needed as motor tuning or other preparations for winter driving Mr. Kelly said. "Any tightening Job completed at the end of the summer Is more thorough. This is true since all parts are easier to get to and rattles, which are not so evident during the damp weather of the winter season, are more easily found during the summer."

Wash Ae. Fall Bulbs Should Be Planted Now, Says Olds Expert tn Now Is the time to begin work on your spring flower garden, accord ing to Thomas S. Toal, garden seed manager of the L. I. Olds Seed co.

-Fall bulbs, such as tulips, hyacinths, narcissus, crocus, scillas, lilies and grape hyacinths should be planted at this time of the year." Mr. Toal said. "Bulbs planted early will develop a good root growth before the ground freezes. This usually produces better flowers. "Tulips are the most popular and most accommodating as they do equally well planted in sun or shade.

There is some advantage in planting the late varieties in the shade as the color is better and does not fade as it often does in full sun. The blooms will be a little later than in full sun, but will last several days longer. An ideal situation is one where the bulbs have the morning sun for awhile and are in the shade for the rest of the day. The delicate pink and lavender shades are best in shady situations where the full beauty and the delicacy of their coloring is best displayed. They bleach to a considerable extent in full exposure to the sun all day.

"Some of the most beautiful of the delicate colored shades are the Reverend Eubank-heliotrope, Madam Krelage-lilac and pink. Princess Elizabeth-rose pink, and Dream-lilac blue. The lighter hued tulips make the best display in the garden as the color carries further than the rich dark shades which are fine for close inspection.

lii nl IVi color planting is the most attractive such as Farncombe Sanders and Bar-tigon. There is a variation of a week in the blooms between the early and late varieties planted in the sun and nearly two weeks when planted in ed as long as the ground can worked, even as late as Thanksgiving Day, giving good results, but a heavy mulch should be used on late plantings. "The one cultural requisite is drainage. Tulips stand almost anything but soggy quarters and if water stands on the bed during the winter thaws, the bulbs are likely to rot, "The best cultural methods call for a raised bed to be certain of good drainage. Sand can also be packed around the bulbs and it is a good plan to use a handful of bone meal to each square yard of planting.

"Now also is a good time to replant perennial plants. Fall is very often the most comfortable and convenient time for remaking the garden, refurbishing the perennials, planting and getting ready for spring. It is altogether practical to divide and replant perennials in late fall and to set out new plants from nurseries, if one precaution is taken sufficient mulch being applied after the ground is frozen hard for the first time. The object of the mulch Is to keep the ground frozen. This prevents too easy and too rapid thawing and freezing which causes the breaking off of the tender feeding roots.
