LAW IN ACTION GARNISHMENT As a rule, the word "garnish" means to decorate or dress. But in law "garnish" has a special meaning: In England as late as 1809 you paid your bills, or went to debtor prison, as Charles Dickens described in his novels. Today, when all of us buy on credit we no longer go to debtors' prison if we don't pay. Instead, the law has other ways of collecting debts. One of these is to garnish any money the debtor has coming from some one else — such as money in the bank, or wages due. If Smith owes you and doesn't pay, you can sue Smith. If you think Smith will not pay even after you get judgment, you can garnish his wages when you start the suit. You can do this by serving a writ of attachment on his employer. In this court orders his employer not to pay Smith any wages, but to pay them to the sheriff instead. The sheriff then holds the funds until the final outcome of the suit. Or, you may wait until you get judgment and then garnish Smith's wages by serving his employer with a writ of execution. Then when the employer pays the sheriff, the sheriff pays you the money. But what if Smith has a wife and children and needs his wages to support them? Under California law Smith's wages cannot be garnished if he needs them to support his family — unless the debt is for necessities of life like food, rent, or medical care. In such cases half of Smith's pay can be garnished. Sometimes a debtor feels it is wrong to allow his creditor to sue him and garnish his pay. But our high mass production and low costs rest upon sound credit—which means that people pay their debts. If the law did not give us this means to collect, little credit would be granted. The losers: those people who most need credit and the nation's business which rests upon credit.

Disease, Cause Given Damping off is the name given a fungus disease which causes flats and pots of seedlings to wilt and die. The disease may be prevented by sterilizing the seed soil with boiling water and treating the seed with a disinfectant. Lack of light and ventilation, and overwatering, are contributing causes of damping off. HARMFUL INSECTS Remove all clumps of growing weeds in your garden, for harmful insects can hide there and may build up in large numbers. They will then invade the rest of the garden and cause severe damage to the cultivated plants. Anaheim Gazette Thodore B. Kochal, Publisher A. E. "Andy" Mellen, Adv.

But you can do a much better job once you know how your particular sprinkler type spreads the water. A research report in Sunset magazine describes the basic wetting patterns made by 10 different popular sprinkler types. When you know the pattern of your sprinkler, you can figure out the best spots on your lawn to run it to get even water coverage and how long it takes to get adequate penetration. If you have unequal water distribution you can either relocate sprinkler positions so that the wetting patterns overlap or supplement one springer type with another that makes a compatible pattern.
