At its last regular meeting Tank Corps Post, No. 19, the American Legion, adopted & resolution protesting against the establishment of & permanent air- port in the neighborhood of Arlington National Cemetery. The olution set forth that because | of the inevitable concentration of air- craft in the immediate vicinity of Ar- lington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier that would follow the establishment of a large and permanent airport contiguous to Arlington National Cemetery and the noises and confusion that would re- sult, the post protests against the pro- posal and that steps be taken to bring about the abandonment of the landing fields now operating in that vicinity. The commander was directed to bring this resolution to the attention of the executive committee of the department of the District of Columbi Comdr. H. A. Reng, jr., will present the resolution before the meeting of the department executive committee April 24. ‘The post voted to subscribe for a box at the department ball to be held at the Mayflower April 23, High school boys throughout the country who wish to play in the Amer- ican Legion junior base ball program, which starts June 15, are seeking to amend the eligibility high school rule which prohibits them, in most States, from playing on base ball teams other than their high school team during the school year. The rule has been amended by the Indiana High School Athletic Association to permit playing on the Legion teams, and similar action is ex- pected soon in all other'States. A study of the time required for con- ducting the Legion program, which leads up to a world championship se- cdes in the Fall, necessitates the Legion games beginning June 15, Russell Cook, national director of the Legion activity, says. In the past this has worked a hardship on high school boys who wish to retain their eligibility for base ball on the high school teams. The co-operation of all State high school as- soclations, however, Cook said, will solve that problem. The U. 8. 8. Jacob Jones Post, No. 2 met Monday at the Thomas Circle Club. The department commander and his staff were at the meeting, and the Jane A. Delano and Belleau Wood Posts joined with the Jacob Jones Post as hosts for this visitation. The following members of the department attended: Maj. Atkins, department commander; Paul J. McGahan, %fl. department com- mander; J. Miller Kenyon, past depart- ment commander; Charles H. Knight, first viee commander; Earl J. Brown, secone THE Practical and Seasonal Hints ASPARAGUS CULTURE No vegetable is more popular in the larger home garden than the asparagus, and rightfully so. Living on from year to year, there is no annual struggle to ot the crop started, for the ups and jowns of weather mean little to this rugged species. In fact, in many sec- tions the aspar: has become natural. ised even to the extent of becoming a weed. In considering the establishment of an asparagus bed, the first question is varjety, and that is quickly decided by selecting one of the so-called Wash- ington strains, now offered by almost all seed stores and nurseries. These two varieties, Mary and Martha Wash- ington, are disease resistant and yield | large stalks of good quality. One-year | plants are generally conceded best, getting re-established sooner than older roots. Rows should be about four feet apart and plants in the row 18 inches. Beans, lettuce or cabbage may be grown between the rows the first and | second seasons if space is short. | The old practice of digging out a two- | foot trench and filling the bottom with well-rotted manure was splendid, but is neither possible nor necessary under present conditions. A six-inch trench is adequate, setting the roots on the bottom and covering at first with three or four inches of soll. Fertilizer should be applied while preparing the soil and then along the rows after the plants are up. With a long-life plant such as asparagus, fertilization will, of course, be continued each year throughout the life of the bed. Something was sald in this column of the superiority of male asparagus plants in point of production. Ovef a period of years male plants averaged 12 to 16 per cent more productive at one of the experiment stations. ‘Whether it is worth while to buy twice as many plants as needed and later discard the females is a question for the gardener to decide. Asparagus should not be cut until the beginning of the third year in the garden because in the first two seasons the young plants need all their foliage to develop strong roots. A somewhat vexatious delay, but worth while in ultimate results, Asparagus fresh from the garden s greatly superior to the general run of store stocks, Sugar is lost very rapidly after cutting and the fibers become woody, resulting in a rather tasteleas product. With asparagus in the kitchen garden the story is quite different. l CARE OF BULBS As the bulbous plants finish flowers ing there is often a temptation in the small garden to dig out the plants to make room for annuals. Such treat- ment is a serious mistake if one ‘ex- pects to flower the bulbs again. The situation is simply this—the bulbs are now busily engaged in manufacturing and storing food for another season and in forming new bulbs. Any dis- turbance at this season cannot help but diminish the reserve strength of the plant, Caretakers of public parks are forced to remove bulbs shortly after they bloom, but rarely attempt to save the stock, buying fresh material each Autumn. = Sometimes the plants are reset in another location where they can mature without further distur- bance, but such a treatment is consid- ered an expedient rather than good praetice. Crocus leaves are rather a nuisance in the lawn at this season but there is no quicker way of extermina these a,retly little harbingers of Spring than start the lawn mower early, before the leaves have matured. need of leaves is common to all plants d|and especially so in the case of the short-lived bulbs, which are in green vice commander; Lucille Allen, third vice commander; Mabel P.

MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE COMING According to the insect pest survey office of the Department of Agricul- ture, the Mexican bean beetle may be expected to be with us again this Summer in full force, which means extermination of the bean crop when unprotected. Therefore, a new far- mers’ bulletin, No. 1,624, on the sub- ject is very timely. The salient points in control as stated are spraying of vines with magnesium arsenate, used at the rate of one ounce to three gal- lons of water, and the destruction of all crop remains after harvest. ‘Where it becomes necessary to spray bean plants during the pod-forming period, Lyrethrum SOMD SPrays are sug: gested because of their non-poisonou qualities. Lead arsenate, sueh as used for eodling moth en fruit trees, should never be used on beans because it burns the foliage and redyces ylelds.

F. Woods, directar of selentific work in the Department of Agriculture. In many hospitals it is & regular practice te remove flowers and plants from the rooms at night, beeause it is thought that they are in some way injurious to the patients. “Instead of plants being harmful, they are beneficial, says Dr. Woods. During the day they give off oxygen and mois- ture and take up carbon dioxide, At night these processes slow down and small amounts of earbon diexide are given off, but a whole greenhouse full of plants would not give off enough carbon dioxide to injuriously affect the com- position of the air. “The only oceasion for removing e charge of the social, which will follow HOME GARDENER for the Amateur for Beautifying Surroundings of the Home.

The treatment was effective even in the case of badly scabbed corms, the solution apparently penetrating into the tissues and killing the casual bacteria. Another promising development in disease control is the development of a green color dust for combating black 8pot of the rose, thus removing the ob- jection that many had to the ordinary Massey dust made up of nine parts of finely divided sulphur and one part of powdered arsenate of lead.
