It Is a mistake to start vegetable plants too soon. Six to eight weeks ahead of the time of setting the plants in the field Is long enough, says Prof. .J. E. Knott of CorneiJ unh·ersity. The plants will do better and maintain a good steady growth if st11rted later, and hnve a slight ~heck for hardening before they are set in the field. Best Starting Soil. A good soil In which to plant seed h1 a mixture of one part each of sand, loam and rotted manure. \Vhen plants are tran. planted later in their development, a greater proportion of loam can be used. Plants are better dhtributed If the seed is !'own In ful'J'ows one-fourth to one-halt inch wide •·ather than In the customary V·shuped furrow. As Boon as the seedlings show the ' first true leaf they may be transplant· ed to a wider spacing. When larger plants are moved, the check in growth can!'ed by transplanting Is more pronounced. Transplanting Is done only as a means of providing greater space The Bonnet Carre gpillway, 28 miles above New Orleans, Is rapidly neurin;:: complc~tion, and when finished for the plant to develop, says Professor Knott. After transplanting, as will tlivert the watl'rs of the Mississippi river into Lake Pontchartrain when swirling floods tln·eaten the city.

Water Plants Under Glasa. It is best to water plants under g-lass when the temperature Is rising. They should be soaked well ant1 not receive more water until they need It, which may not he every day. On ::;unny dflJ'S they nwy need a second wateJ·in;:. The plants should be dry when night comes. D:unpin~ off, or the dyin~ of the sePdlings at the surfnce of the ground, is a serious !'ause of loss in plant beds. Even if the soil i!! sterilized it is often desirable to "atPr the plants with a solution of organic ·mercury.
