Texas bluebonnets may be planted
in September for blooms next spring.
Bluebonnet seed, which are avail-
able in most any seed store, will
sprout much better if allowed to soak
in water 24 hours before planting,
fiays Sadie Hatfield, spfciaijbt 'in
landscape gardening with the Texas
A. & M. College Extension Service.
After the seed soak, they should be
raked into the soil and watered at
once. The young plants will grow
they are injured only by heavy freez-
during the cold winter months, since
es and even then only a few will be
killed.
In light, sandy soil, the bluebonnet
■will grow best, says Miss Hatfield.
In rich, fertilized soil the plants will
develop tall stalks, many leaves but
few blooms.
In the acid soil area of East Texas,
a litmus paper test should be made
■before planting. If the litmus paper
turns pink after being exposed to
wet soil for approximately three
minutes, the soil should be sweeten-
ed with lime or wood ashes, at the
rate of one pound of lime or ashes
has a finger in the pie. The Texa.i
Safety Association says that more
accidents happen to ringers than to
any other part of the body. So—-be
a little careful with' that kitchen
knife—with the ' lawnmower—with
all your tools. Crossing your fingers'
for good luck won't keep them from
getting cut off!
There's no tax on safety—it's free
as the air—but brother, there's -a tax
on accidents and you pay it! The
government doesn't send us an Ac-
cident Tax Bill—but the tax is there
—in increased insurance costs—in
the price of the commodities we buy.
The Texas Safety Association pre-
dicts that the cost of accidents for
this year may hit the million mark!
Play Safe—and Save!
On those cross country trips do
you wonder what has happened to
the Texas Highway Patrol? They're
still on the job—working as hard in
peacetime as wa*- to combat our arch
enemy,—accidents, but— because of

soil. Clay or heavy soil requires two
pounds for the same sized plot. No
other fertilizer is needed. All the
bluebonnets need is plenty of sun-
shine and good drainage at all times.
Although bluebonnets grow best
■when left where they are planted,
may be cared for in frame gardens
or pots during the winter and trans-
planted iri the open during early
spring. Few plants can equal the
hardiness of the bluebonnet, which
will endure dry as well as cold
weather.

says lend a helping hand to the pa
trolmen by feeing that you don't
have an accident. A second's thought
may add years to your life!
' Going straight" is a time-hon-
ored term for mending one's ways
and thus keeping out of trouble, but
not when it is applied to safety!
The Texas Safety Association says
that on the streets and highways
drivers run into most of their troub-
le while going straight rather than
batking, turning or stopping. When
oil the straight-away, drivers are
prone to speed—and speeding caus-
ed more than half of the deaths of
874 men, women and children in Tex-
as for the first six morkhs of this
year. Learn from the mistakes of
others—you can't live long enough
to make them all yourself!
Danger lurks where we least ex-
pect it. We're alert to danger when
we swim where the current is strong,
But—not when we bathe in our own
tub. Even a fall from a slippery tub
or a sliding bathmat can cause a big-
disaster. The Texas Safety Associa-
tion says all home accidents are the
result of unsafe conditions or un-
safe practices. In the words of Oliver
fromvvell, "Trust in God—but keep
your powder dry!"
Do you believe in signs? The Tex-
as Safety Association warns that
many signs on the street say "Stop"
to the driver—the old fellow cross-
ing against a red light, the child run-
ning into the road after a ball, the
quick dash of a pedestrian. Remem-
ber, the most important safety de-
vice ever created is just about nine
inches above your shoulders—your
head—use it!
The Texas Safety Association re-
veals that walls are next to traffic
accidents in the cause of fatalities
and injuries. Tumbling folks get paid
if they work for the circus—but
folks who fall down just anywhere—-
off ladders and chairs—down steps—
just anytime—Pay and Pay and Pay.
Some fellows never allow you to
reach for the check. They hand it to
you.
The Texas Safety Association re-
minds motorists to use a little ex-
tra caution on the highways during
the weekehd, when you go out for
that family picnic or ride. Just why
there should be more motor vehicle
deaths on Sunday than on any other
day of the week but more non-fatal
injuries on Saturday is something of
a mystery; the figures, nevertheless,
prove this to be true. Whatever the
explanation, you'll agress that where
driving on the highways is concern-
ed. it's a great life of you don't weak-
