JULY 20, 1930—PART SIX. THE HOME GARDENER Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for Beautifying Surroundings of the Home. The following item from the press service of the Department of Agriculture gives a good reason why it is necessary to spray the foliage of fruit plants that are attacked by insects or plant dis- eases and also to thin heavy crops: “How many leaves are required to produce food enough to develop a full- grown apple? This is the question that bas attracted the attention of horticul- turists in the Department of Agriculture for several years, because of its relation to the practice of thinning apples and pears. Latest results of experimental work carried on with the Washington Experiment Station, at Wenatchee, Wash,, indicates that from 40 to 50 well formed leaves are necessary to develop amount of food reserve for the growth of the tree. “In the experiments it was found that small number of leaves per fruit would praduce a fairly satisfactory crop for the year in question, but would not pro- duce enough fruit buds for a full crop the following year. There is a fairly definite correlation between number of leaves per fruit and the size of fruit until the ratio reaches at least 40 to 1. While the size of individual fruits in- creased with greater leaf surface, the increase in_fruit volume was not pro- portional. In other words, thinning the fruit increases the size but decreases total weight of fruit per tree. “To increase production, the experi- ments indicate, it will be necessary first of all to inerease the amount of foliage per tree or per acre. TO secure regu- larity of production, the quantity of fruit produced per tree must be suffi- ciently reduced through thinning to al- low the development of fruit buds, which results only from an accumula- tion of food materials after the needs of the fruit have been met. To obtain maximum food development in the leaves a steady supply of moisture must be available throughout the growing season. “The experiments referred to were conducted in irrigated orchards in the Pacific Northwest. Where there is a shortage of water through the latter part of the growing season a larger number of leaves per fruit is required.” BEAN BEETLE Aceording to Dr. E. N. Cory of the University of Maryland in a report pre- sented to the Peninsula Horticultural Society, the addition of copper sulphate to either spray or dusts used for bean beetle control reduced the amount of foliage injury from the arsenical. A dust made up of 20 per cent copper sulphate, 20 per cent calcium arsenate | and 60 per cent hydrated lime gave good results. Pyrethrum sprays are advocated for any treatments given after the pods have formed, thus avoiding any danger — RENT—SUBURBAN. (Continued.) - SE. 5 | OF GROUND, IN TROOM HOUSE, 5 ACRES OF GROI s 8.

W. WELLINGTON, 1 Dusting as a means of controlling Department of Agriculture. insects and disease pests on cultivated plants has become highly popular in recent years, being quite as effective as Spraying and saving much heavy labor and inconvenience. Photo by courtesy of arsenic poisoning to the consumer. Repeated dusting or spraying, about every 10 days, depending on the weather, was required to keep the beetles in check, and spading under the vines immediately after the crop is harvested is also recommended as a r:ne:m of reducing the beetle popula- tion, So much has been said and written about peat moss and its use in the garden that it is difficult to gain a clear picture of the real value of the material. According to some writers, peat moss overcomes most of the difi- culties of the amateur gardener, doing away with need of cultivation and fer- tilization. Undoubtedly, peat moss has considerable value, but it is not a panacea or cureall. Perhaps the great- is in modifying the texture of the soil Into which it is incorporated. The particles of peat tend to separate the soll particles and enable the root sys- tems to develop more freely. Being spongy and porous, peat greatly aids in holding moisture in the soil, a very useful function, especially’ during weather such as local gardeners have experienced this past Spring. Peat moss is acid in nature and sofls heavily modified with peat will need an application of hydrated lime if other than acid-loving plants are to bé grown. Peat must not be considered as a fer- tlizer, although in due course of time it may add to the fertility of the soil following its decomposition into more available substances. The fertility and cultural program will have to be main- tained much as before, but tillage will be made easier because the soil will not bake so readily. ARDEN NOTES Asparagus beetles are now working havoc in certain gardens, especially on young plants set out this Spring. Dust- ing with hydrated lime the early morning, while the plants are wet with dew, will often control the soft, imma- ture worms, but for the adults it is nec- essary to use a poisonous dust or spray. Asparagus foliage is very smooth, and it will be necessary to add a little flour to the arsenate of lead or Paris green liquid to make it stick. Sweet corn is growing rapidly since the rainfall has been more liberal and will shortly be maturing in the early plantings. Sweet corn is a luxury ihat has been enjoyed but relatively few ars by white peoples. The plant is believed to have been developed in Mexico from a native grass and to have been grown for centuries by the na- tives of North and South America. However, the development of sweet va- rieties is considered to be relatively re- cent. In fact, many of the older gardeners can easily remember when there were no yellow varieties of sweet corn, which now represent perfection in this vegetable, Sweet corn needs full sunlight and freedom from competition with tree roots. The soil should be well fertilized to support the rapid luxuriant growth that is made in a very short period. Moisture is also a factor in corn growing and is provided for by planting in hills to lessen root compe- tition and by tilling the soil shallowly up to the time plants are at least half grown. Removing the small side shoots or suckers is not necessary and is even harmful. Good yellow varieties are Golden Bantam, Golden Sunshine and Whipple Yellow. Good white varieties are Country Gentleman and Stowell Evergreen. A few years ago sweet corn had no insect troubles, but now has several, in- cluding the corn ear worm, which works sueh havoc in the ripening ears. Un- fortunately, there is no real remedy for this pest, although dusting the ynuns | eilks with arsenate of lead and hydrate | lime dust is often helpful. | " Tomatoes are growing rapidly now, and the wise gardener will arrange for | some kind of support for the plants | to keep the fruite off of the soll. A wire | trellis is very effective and does not | require the removal of as much foliage | as does stake training. The crop will | be cut down in direct proportion to the | pruning. Pollination of tomato blooms | is a problem for the greenhouse grower, | but not so in the garden, where the wind and insects do a very thorough sk. B Celery plants for the Fall crop should now be set in the garden. If planted in a furrow, watering will be easier and so will blanching later on. Celery needs abundant water and food to make strong growth, and spraying with Bordeaux mixture if leaf spots develop. Poison ivy easily becomes a pernicious weed in suburban gardens that lie ad- jacent to undeveloped areas. Peren- | nial borders which are cultivated only at infrequent intervals offer a favor- | able harbor for this pest plant. Ac- cording to Farmers’' Bulleton No. 1166, | “Poison Ivy and Poison Sumac,” one of the most practical methods of eradi cation is to spray the leaves with saturated salt solution made up of 3 unds of common to 1 gallon of slightly soapy water. Only sufi- cient solution to wet the leaves should be applied to prevent injury to other plants in the vicinity. Crankcase ofl thinned with kerosene until it sprays | easily is also recommended the bulletin as an effective spray. These two methods avold the necessity of | actually handling the ivy and if re- peated two or three times as new leaves ID‘KII' will kill the ivy out.completely. e bulletin also ‘presents several preventives and remedies for ivy Copies may be secured by requests to the Department of Agriculture. GARDEN ITEMS ‘The popularity of purple foliage plants is attested by the use of the surplo | beech, hazel, maple, plum and bar- i berry in the various ornamental plant= ings sbout the city. Yet it is doubtful if anyone would eare to see & whole for- est of reddish purple hue. It is un- doubtedly the mingling of the purplish red foliage among the green that is at- tractive, although in the case of the purple beech the fine shape and char- acter of the trees helps to make this variant colored species desirable. For those who enjoy chrysanthemums and their growing, Dr. E. A. White's new book, “The Chrysanthemum and Its Culture,” should prove very valuable. Dr. White discusses the history of the cultivated chrysanthemums and gives valuable information on the culture of hardy outdoor as well as greenhouse va- rietles. The chrysanthemums are, by the way, at the present time in the critical stage of forming flower buds and will be greatly benefited by a side dressing of fer T or manure water if available. The latter material will supply both moisture and food and should, therefore, be doubly helpful. Manure water is sim- ply the product obtained by soaking well rotted dung in a vessel of water for & “Batires in Al are growing vigorously and should be staked as soon as possible, so that the winds and rains may not break down the soft, succulent stalks. Many growers attach the varietal names di- rectly to the stakes and thereby make the stake serve a double purpose. Dah- lias must be cultivated in this early stage of their existence as a means of saving moisture during dry weather. The few converts to the theory that cul- tivation is unessential would disagree with the above recommendation, but few gardeners are yet ready to abandon til- lage. 3 Why do apricots fall in this vicinity? Not because of lack of tree hardiness, since there are hundreds of trees living about the city, but simply because ‘the flowers always open in early March and are almost invariably blasted by freezes. ‘What is needed is a late-blooming apri- cot that will come with the peaches and flumm Some of the experiment sta- fons are working on this problem and it is not unlikely that in the near fu- ture just such an apricot may be de- veloped. The Chevy Chase, D. C., Garden Club, meeting Tuesday morning in the home of Mrs. J. 8. Gruner, 5460 Thirty-ninth street, with Mrs, F. Baker ‘Weaver presiding, voted to continue the meetings of the club through the Summer, only changing the time from afternoon to morning. All members responded to a request to bring a sample product of their gardens, with the result that there was & display of specimen flowers. Dis- cussion of personal experiences in cultivating them developed. Following a business meeting, re- freshments were served by the hostess, and after a visit to her gardens several other neighborhood gardens were in- spected. The next meeting of the club will be with Miss Mary A. Davis, at 3723 Morrison street. Marine Corps Note: Brig. Gen. George Richards, accom- panied by Capt. Jonas H.

LIEGE, Belgium, July 19.—Modern- istic architecture, with straight lines and broad, sweeping curves affording striking contrasts, marks the World Fair here. The exposition is part of Belgium’s celebration of a century of, independ- ence, and tourists from all parts of the world are visiting it. It was opened in May by King Albert and will continue through the Summer. The Liege exhibit is lu?lemenud by | an exposition at Antwerp devoted to the colonial and maritime activities of Bel- glum. Science, industry, agriculture and art, as practiced in 40 nations, are llustrated here. Some of the contributing nations erected their own buildings, but most of them have taken ann in joint displays with other coun in the large halls devoted to electricity, mechanics, radio, medical sciences and similar subjects. This system has grouped the various branches so that persons interested in them may see the whole subject without visiting & number of buildings. One of the striking ~architectural achlevements of the exposition is the Palace of Electricity. It emphasizes the perpendicular with a suggestion of the conventional zig-zag of lightning in the terraced outline of its entrance facade. It is brilliantly illuminated at night and houses the latest electrical achievements of 40 countries. In contrast are the Palace of Me- chanics, Metallurgy and Mines and the Italian government building. The cir- cle is the chief motif of the former, while the latter is characterized by a towering circular bay at its entrance that reminds irreverent Yankee visitors of the gas houses of American cities. The Palace of Arms, containing mod- ern weapons exhibited by two-score governments, and & bungalow-like struc- ture erected to house the display sent by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, are also built on modernistic lines. The city of Paris, on the contrary, put up a domed building suggestive of the French renaissance in which to show the ar- tistic, scientific and political history of the French capital. RICH FRENCHMAN GIVES POETS “HOME” Refuge for Versifiers Will Be “Trade Union” as Well as Resting Place. Special Dispatch to The Bt PARIS, July 19 (N.AN.A).—When- ever the French poet comes floating down from Parnassus he may now find a pled-a-terre on the slopes of Mont- martre, thanks to the generosity of M. Emile Blemont, who left almost the whole of his fortune for a maison de la poesie. This refuge for poets is not an entire “house,” but the second floor only of an interesting building in the Rue Ballu, already the headquarters of the Society of Authors and Dramatic Writers. It would not appear to be the sort of home that provides foster-mothers for fetching home the erratic nature- loving poets who, like La Fontaine, per- haps stay out all night in order to at- tend an ant’s funeral. Nor will it im- pose the slightest restraint upon the wild poets to whom any four walls a prison make. Rather, it is a sort of poet's trade union. Members may wander, float, dream ‘and write with the knowledge that they have an organization behind them to protect their rights, their royal- ties and the like.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 19.—A resolution condemning the alleged ac- tivitles of J. A. Comer, Little Rock Republican leader and former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Kran in Ar- kansas, in behalf of Tom W. Campbell in the latter's race against Senator Joe T.
