DESPIITE CONVALESCENCE FROM A TORN LIGAMENT 'Scat Socks' LIFE OF GARDEN SEEDS ON THE SOIL WHICH COME FROM BEAN SEEDLINGS HAVE WON THE FIRST BATTLE, BY STRUGGLING THROUGH THE SOIL TO REACH THE SUNLIGHT. When seeds are sown directly in garden soil they face many hazards. It is not unusual for professional growers, sowing top quality seed, to fail to "get a catch." But home gardeners can protect their seeds, with precautions which would be prohibitive on large acreage, and they are 'Scat Socks' Newest teen-age conversation piece are these Trimfit Scat Socks featuring a wide variety of clever glamour pins. Seventeen Magazine illustrates these in full color in their April issue. They are triple roll and made of fine combed cotton with nylon reinforced heel and toe. The decorative pins do double duty on sweater or blouse, according to a pretty lassie's costume.

These bean seedlings have won the first battle, by struggling through the soil to reach the sunlight. When seeds are sown directly in garden soil they face many hazards. It is not unusual for professional growers, sowing top quality seed, to fail to "get a catch." But home gardeners can protect their seeds, with precautions which would be prohibitive on large acreage, and they are well advised to do it. The first fight which a growing seed must win is the struggle to reach the sun. This is no small matter in a heavy soil, which tends to form a crust, which a tiny seedling may not be able to penetrate. The top inch of soil, for this reason, is to the seed the most important in the garden. It will pay home gardeners well to prepare a special soil with which to cover the seed. Save your best loose, sandy loam and mix in all the compost you can and lacking compost use peat moss. Then after the seed is sown, cover with this special soil, which will not form a crust and will allow both water and air to penetrate for the benefit of your seedlings. This treatment is especially important in hot weather, when most soil is liable to bake into a surface crust. Other hazards lie in the path of a seed sown in the garden. Its life may be destroyed before it sprout emerges from the soil by drowning, when water stands too long in the spot where it was sown; or by disease, especially in cold damp weather, which encourages the growth of moulds and fungi, while delaying germination of the seed. Disinfectants are obtainable with which seeds can be treated to protect them from disease. Soil must be firmed above the seeds, to form close contact, and prevent air spaces from separating the soil and seed. This is especially important with beet and Swiss chard seeds, and others of large and irregular shape. By firming does not mean pounding. Press down with hoe blade, or use the side of a rake; and afterwards draw the rake lightly over the row to break up the crust and prevent baking. Experienced gardeners learn through trial and error to watch this point, and take precaution to avoid conditions which may prevent seeds from growing. Heavy rain falling soon after seeding.

Ask Schools to Assist Employers A call to public schools in our city community to ally themselves with the needs of businessmen was sounded yesterday in a brief issued by the public relations advisory panel of the California Teachers association. The panel declared that "public schools have a responsibility to serve the business community by establishing themselves as reliable source of persistent formation for employers of high school graduates." It also suggested that graduates be provided with written evidence of vocational skills which they possess. Examples of this practice are used in San Francisco, where certificates of competence are given students in book-keeping, math calculation, typewriting, and nography.
