Hence the value of piling them up in a corner of the yard and adding certain fertilizing ingredients to hasten the decomposing process and at the same time enriching the final product. In the forest this process goes on con- tinuously, the underlying rotted mate- rial aiding in decomposing the freshly fallen leaves. ‘The Missouri Experiment Station Bulletin No. 258 describes the process of making manure from straw and which should be equally applicable to | leaves. To each 200 pounds of straw | there were added 4!; pounds of ammo- ponnfla of ground 1 pounds of super- phosphate. Hydrated lime may be sub- stituted for the limestone, using just half the amount. The heap should be | made up in layers, scattering the chem- icals between the layers and keeping the entire mass wet during the process. Once or twice during the Winter the pile should be turned. That this is a practical way of han- dling leaves is attested by the fact that several home gardeners about the city already practice it with success. Another way of rapidly converting leaves into fertility is to place them in the poultry yard, where the poultry ma- nure acts much in the same way as does the ammonium sulphate. And in addition the poultry hasten the process zy' breaking down the structure of the ves. lavu is at the best an un- SHRUBBERY FOR BIRDS ‘Most home gardeners -re also friends of the birds, excepting, of course, the harmful species such as grackles, star- lings and English sparrows.

In- jury to the roses seems to come in urlj Bpring, after growth activity is renewe: The tender hydrangeas are sometimes lifted in late Autumn and stored in cellars until Spring. This is a heavy task and is rarely done in this vicinity. Some Winters the plants survive nicely and other seasons the shoots are killed back to the root crown onnflmnn which means no bloom that seasos A new idea in paper muich is l lvnnd now being marketed in ind, in which has been impregnated n solt tion of nitrogen, ‘r'hosphorou and po. tassium compounds, with the idea of supplying nutrients as well as conserv- ing moisture. Just how practical p per mulches are going to be for home gardeners is not yet established. The paper doesn't last long, is rather costly at the start, and is not easy to fasten | down properly. On the other hand, some local users have had astonishingly good results with the paper. Very soon now all perishable plant material, such as geraniums, heliotrop and lantana, that one wishes to llvc over the Winter, must be brought into the house or cellar. Fortunately, many of these plants may be bought so rea- sonably in the Spring that it scarcely pays to savc ‘hem over unless one has adequate fa'lities for their Winter keeping. Lantana seems to be gaining rapidly in popularity as a beddh plant. Its bright or and scarlet blooms, pro- duced profusely throughout the long Summer period, give color to the gar- den when other species are resting. THE GARDEN CLUBS Among local gardeners there is none ‘who gives quite as free!y‘nnd generously E of his time as does Prof id Lums- t | den, who last week supervised the splen- did orchid show that was staged in the Willard Hotel by the American Orchid Soclety. Possessing a wealth of train- ing, both in the hard school of prac- tical experience and in scientific cir- cles, Mr. Lumsden holds the confidence of a very wide up of professional and amateur gardenérs and apparently never cares to betray that trust, for he may be found addressing the humblest of garden clubs one week and the next & notable gathering of pro- fessional gardeners such as was as- connection with the orchid show.

Brigade headquarters pointed out that men appointed in the past have made creditable records as cadets at the Academy, many having graduated with honors and now are holding com- missions in the Regular Army. The of- ficials also asserted that several of the above candidates already have made excellent records in the local Guard, one of them, Private Hill, having been awarded a medal at the recent field training camp at Fort Humphreys, Va., for being the best-drilled private in the Engineer regiment. Although only one appointment has been allotted the local Guard this year, there have been several instances in the past where two have been allowed, when other organizations did not have can- didates to fill their quota. However, there is no indication at this time whether the local Guard will receive more than the one appointment already allotted this yea: ‘The Becretary " of War has issued orders for the issuance of an Army rifle team badge, Infantry, to Sergt. Louls A. Robertson, Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers, on account of his winning a place as alternate on the District of Columbia Guard rifle team competing in the national rifle team match this year. A similar badge was_ordered issued to Sergt. Frankll R. Brickles, Company A, 121st Engi- neers, on account of his having won a place on the same team as a principal.

Officials of the local Guard are con- siderably interested in the recommenda- | tion of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission that the local | Guard assigned the Pension Office Building in Jufllcllry Square as an rmory.

It was sald then that the War Department was not in | favor of it, as that department had its jeyes on the building as a_ place for future expansion of its office Space. This stand came in the face of repeated recommendations in the reports of va- rious Army inspecting icers which universally condemned the armory fa- cilities available to the local militia and pointing out that it 5houlfl have !he best in the country, to be ug ymodel for the States to ln|low t wi pointed out that the local militia hls quasi-Federal status and for that reason the Government should set an example. ‘When this proposal met with such | obstructions the suggestion was made, and & bill was introduced in Congress providing for the acquisition pur- chase of the Wasl n Auditorium and its ling into & suitable armory. The pmmln’ commission, however, disapproved of this recom- mendation, opposing the location of an rmory in the vicinity of the proposed boulevard and new bridge. | . The recommendation for the use of |the Pension Office Building puts the Guard back where it started, when it was seeking quarters while confronted with the necessity of removal from the Government hotels, problem which was solved by the transfer of the major | portion of the units to the old Nmonnl Hotel Building which has been acquir: by the local government to tarm a llu for the mnad Municipal Center. ‘The planning commission pointed out | that the Pension Office Bull very approptiate location for tl trict Militia, as it would be near Municipal Center.
