fall bulbs need plenty of food bosemeal is excellent food avoid fresh manure i an impression is often hmd that bulb- which are newly pianttd in the fall tio not require plant food it is true that mature bulbs have stored up food in themsehes which largely spuplies the energy for early spring growth and which may be sufficient to produce a flower but this is only part of the story- at the time the flower is being pioduced a large number of roots are being formed these roots seek in the soil for plant food and water which they supply to the growing plant if these is a defiieny of plant food in the soil the growth of the plant is greatly hampered the production of a vigorous perfect flower of normal size and color re quires this additional nourishment taken from the soi without which the flower will certainly suffr and may full entirely fully as important as fower pro duction is the development of will matured bulbs for the following years flowering bulb plants that are neglected soon become worthless since bulbs start to grow so early in the spring it is difficult to work plant food into the soil so as to get it down to the bulbs before growth starts it is therefore advisable to mix a complete plant food thorough ly in the bottom of a trench at the rate of two pounds per 50 feet of row before planting the bulbs also give a light feeding in the early spring sprinkle the plant

requires plenty of money the whole problem of professional hockey for windsor this winter boils down to a question of money ob serves the windsor star whether or not the fans realize it cash is required to operate a team in the league if there were some chance of coming close to breaking even the promoters would go for it again but from heir experiences in the past they don see how they can run a team again this year without standing ready to pour a lot of money into the pot even before they got started this year there would be letover debts from last season to be cleared in the last few years the hockey team has not been given strong sup port fans were more conspicuous by their absence than by their pres ence to root for the boys and empty seats dont meet expenses mr wallace 11 campbell head of the company operating the arena and the bulldogs and his associates have been stung too often during the last few years they believes the detroit senior team does not want windsor to have a minor league club at all the detroit seniors have sent the olympics to pittsburgh and with windsor out the detroit sen iors will have a stranglchold on professional hockey in this are 1 be sides if the franchise is lost by not operating windsor can never regain the right to a professional club un less detroit consents this ruling applies because detroits senior franchise calls for all rights within a radius of 50 miles from the de troit rink most of tho other minor league clubs are operated as farms for major league teams windsor is not a farm it is possible nagotia- tions might be completed with some team perhaps the montreal cana- diens to take over the windsor franchise and operate a farm club here the present owners of the arena and bulldogs would be quite content to have that happen as they would get a minor percentage of the gate receipts but the senior club owners would take the rest and then carry the bag for any deficits or lake whatever profits that might occur it will be disappointing if pro fessional hockey is abandoned here for the winter but looking at it from the viewpoint of the local own ers of tho arena and the club it must be granted that they cannot expect to continue forever as santa claus amusements constitute a barom eter of conditions and it is reported that the number of theatres devoted to films and their patronage both are on the increase tho regular patron is aware of this development for if he arrives late at a popular theatre he may have difficulty in obtaining a seat this is in strong contrast with the situation which i prevailed at the worst stage of the i depression when the movie houses 1 always had plenty of empty seats e- on on holiday nights authorities of the film industry report that in the united states the weekly attend ance now averages 80000000 some 10000000 more than the case dur ing 1035 it is estimated that at the present rate of progress 1937 will see weekly audiences of nt least 85000000 and perhaps more if the industrial movement is main tained this will be quite an ap proach to the alltime record of 110000000 a week in 1930 there aro also more theatres de voted to films the figure at present being 10000 as compared with 11- 500 last year and 12000 in 1933 some of the higherclass houses in the larger cities have felt justified in transferring their lowerpriced seats to a higher classification a change that would have been im possible a couple of years ago- in the main however the charges for admission remain unchanged there is likewise improvement in the fare provided objectionable films now being very rare under the volun tary agreement entered into by the industry in the summer of 1931 it was understood that decency should prevail and the condition has bean so well observed that more than 9 per cent of american pictures have met the standards of the legion of decency incidentally it ma be mentioned that a couple of pictures that prompted general complaint were importations this is eminent ly satisfactory and it is g atffving to know that with the better films there has been growth in attendance at the many thousands of teatrcs throughout the country the fact should encourage producers to con tinue to provide entertainment to which no reasonable objection may be taken moving pictures are the sole form of public pastime and amusement for multitudes of iopo and their influence is great it is desirable therefore that they should be free of harmful elements on the record as presented the industry is acting in a proper manner ami ii being rewarded
