Some plants ave a wide tolerance in respect to | | acidity, others have only narrow limits. | The rhodcdendrons and azaleas prefer a soil that is quite acid, a p H 5.0 being highly favorable to their develop- ment. odocendrons that are not growing satisfactorily may often be ||| stimulated into g-od growth by applying aluminum sulphate, one ounce per gal- lon of water, about the soil around the plants every week or so durmf the growing season. This liquid should nct be poured onto the foliage. Dr. F. V. Coville, botanist of the Department of Agriculture, in a paper entitled “Effects of Aluminum Sulphats on Rh-doden- drons” discusses soil acidity in detail. There are other p.ants which are quite as lime loving as the rhododen- !dren is acid loving. Among vegetables the onion and beet are cutstanding ex- amples of plants requiring a non-acid soil. In fact, most vegetables and most flowers are benefited by moderate amounts of lime sufficient to keep the soll rather neutral. Until a few years ag) it was believed that 1awns should be heavily limed but it is now known that blue grass grows best on moderately acid.soil. Light applications every few years are probably beneficial but heavy liming of lawns each year is not neces- sary or advisable. Where amenium sul- phats is used as a fertilizer it is proba- ble that lime will be needed m-re fre- quently than otherwise. Liming must never be considered as fertilizing, but rather as simply a modiiication of the soil rezction. Ground limestone is per- haps the best type of lime for use on gardens as it causes no vurning no mat- ter when or how lp?!ledv Hydrated lime is, however, generally usea, largely be- cause it is the form hanaled by dealers. WEED CONTROL I One problem that every gardener has to cope with is the control of weeds and, paradoxically, the better the garden the greater the problem, because weeds, like other plants, re- spond to fertility. In fact, the ex- pression “too poor to grow weeds” has a measure of truth and the good gar- dener often uses weed growth as an index to the fertility of the soil. Weeds rarely concern the really competent gardener. He plants his crop in rows that allow for cultivation with wheel hoes or other effective tools, and be- fore the weeds have a chance t> gTow to any size they are destroyed. Weeds are more harmful than appearances would often indicate, becoming a dis- tinct menace when the water supply in the soil dwindles, greedily taking more of the water and soil nutrients | than is their share. The best time to kil weeds is when they first appear above grcund, for at this stage their | roots are easily dislodged and their | resistance to drying is slight, so that killing is quickly accomplished. A series of experiments at Corneil University on the value of cultivation presented evidence that weed destruc- | tion, rather than direct water saving, is the m-ost important function of tillage. With the exception of one | crop, celery nlots in which the soil was simply scraped to kill weeds yield- son THE SUNDAY BY J. W. WELLINGTON. ed quite as much as the cultivated areas. Of course, it is impossible to draw general conclusions from one set of investigations, but the Cornell ex- periments do show the value of weed control. Whatever food is taken up by the weed is lost to the crop for tife time being, so that, even if weed growth is spaded under, the drought on the soil may be harmful to the cur- rent crop. Weed seeds are more retentive of life than are seeds of our cultivated plants. ‘Weeds have survived hard competition for life and as a result of hard striving have become highly resistant. Buried deeply, weed seeds survive for several years, ready to grow when brought to the surface. Hence weed control is not a matter of one year's effort, but has to be kept up always. However, after a few years of systematic cultiva- tion, the crop es smaller and smaller. Barnyard manure gen- erally brings a new crop of weeds and for this reason may be a mixed blessing to the gardener. Commercial fertilizer brings no weed seed and, if supple- mented with cover crops and perhaps peat moss, gives very good results. A new method of weed control is that of laying down strips of mulch paper between the rows. The paper prevents weeds from growing except directly in the row. Just how important paper mulch is to become in home gardeni remains to be seen. Perhaps weeding may become an obsolete practice in the future, but in the meantime the hoe and the rake remain the weeds' most formidable enemies. One of the most useful pamphlets to | appear for some time, at least from the viewpoint of the home gardener, is New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station ‘Diseases of Ornamental | 3 The principal diseases of most of our flowering plants are de- scribed and control methods outlined. The gladiolus evidently has several dis- ease enemies, making it highly impor- tant that care be taken in discarding diseased planting stock and dipping the remainder in a mercury solution. There are several diseases that at- tack gladiolus corms or bulbs, notably scab, hard rot, Fusarium rot, dry rot and Penicilllum rot. Scab causes an | injury to the leaves as well as the corms, roducing reddish brown spots on the fiw\'zr portion of the leaves, which ma: cause them, under conditions of high humidity, to collapse. Bulb injury ap- pears like the scab on’ potatoes and beets, brownish black depressions. Hard rot appears on the leaves as purplish | brown spots and on the corms as hard black spots, which may progressively enlarge until the entire corm becomes | a shriveled, hard mass. This disease | also occurs cn the crocus. Fusarium | rot is more strictly a storage trouble | and may also convert the corm into a | hard, dry, brownish black mummy. Dry rot and Pencillium may also ac- complish the destruction of the corms. | "The sum and substancs of the matter | | is that the gladiolus is subject to sev- | eral rots and that the grower should | be especizlly coreful not to plant dis- | eased corms. Fortunately most deal-rs are very careful in selecting healthy stock for sale. Dipping the corms in | a 1-t0-1,000 solution of mercury bichlo- ride for 30 minutes app-ars to be a wise precaution with all new stock. Mercury | disinfectants are, however, highly poi- and must be kept from children | (Continued From Third Page.) 1t should be a memorial to heroism, not hatred Whether this revolt on their part will chapel remains to be seen. But it was interesting, meanwhile, to note that out at Cornell the undergraduates heard of the revolt and took a look at their own memorial, discovering that it did not contain the name of the one Cornell German. So they, too, began to cru rould not perpetuate hatred. Before the memorial was dedicated two weeks ago it wes announced that it was intended for those who gave their lives for America end her allies, and that a separate memorial would be erected to the German soldier. Accept With Reservations. When the house plane was sprung on Harvard nobody knew much about it, and on the whole undergraduates were willing to try the experiment. Two of the houses have been in operation this vear. The others will be next. The undergraduates have accepted them— with reservations. They have not ht tated to make plain what those reserva- tions are. First is the cost of rooms. A freshman dormitory is to be a house next year. A freshman, wishing to re- tain his room next Autumn, Wwas amazed at the jump in price, s0o he went to the head of the new house and asked: ‘Sir, how much does an evonymus plant cost?” “Why?" said the astonished professor. ‘Well. sir, I have a room in Gore Hall. It's a nice room. I'd like to keep it. But next year it's going to be in John Winthrop House, and it's going to cost a hundred dollars more, and all they've done is to plant an evonymus vine under the window. How much does an evonyraus vine cost?” Hit “Real Estate Racket.” This story is printed in the under- graduate departmnent of the Harvard Graduates’ Magazine, and the under- graduate narrator speaks of “the real estate racket” in connection with Har- vard’s new houses. Indeed, the sent ment is rapldly growing at Harvard that under the new house plan, as at present managed, costs are going to be prohibi- tive for all but the sons of the well-to- do, in spite of self-help, scholarships and the like. Hundreds of undergrad- uates are not the carefree spenders of college fiction, but serious boys who are on a budget, who know what sacrifices are being made at home to educate them, often who have to make sacrifices them- selves. And when they see a philan- thropist giving millions to their college, raising beautiful buildings fitted up with baronial luxury and at the same time making it financially more and more difficult for them to attend that college, they take quite a different atti- tude toward new buildings and baronial luxury from the attitude of the old grad who boasts how the college is growing. Another thing which doesn't please certain undergraduates in the house pian, it is evident from their printed comment, is the invitations sent out by one of the house masters, reading: “Mr. and Mrs. Request the pleasure of your company at tea,” ete. “There are so few interesting titles in the United States!" exclaims an un- dergraduate. And he goes on to say: “In the classical calm of Lowell House, of course, is the inner sanctum of the Oxford movement in Harvard Univer- sity, which to me is the abomination of abominations. If it had confined itself to summoning undergraduates in alpha- betical order to the awful condescen- sions of their dons, in high table assem- bled once a wecek, it would have been tea cum debutantzs.” Take on Pose of Boredom Of course, if you listan among col- legiat> people nowadays you will fre- quently hear the charge that the under- aduates at present have dropped the laming youth pose and have taken on a pose of boredom and indifference. The i “Harvard indifference” has ‘,American College Students Revolt Against Old Rah-Rah Traditions get the three German names into the | sade for an inclusive memorial which | enough, but it has taken, too, to | spread to all other institutions. One | proof is alleged to be that in many col- lI:ges the pre-foct ball game rally has | | been abandoned. The rally at Harvard | before the Yale game was given up | three years ago. I asked an under- graduate why. “Why should we go and holler our | heads off because a lot of silly old grads | | tell us to?” he asked. “They come out | | from Boston and get red in the face | | shouting ‘You've got to beat Yale! | You've got to beat Yale!" Of course the team will beat Yale if it can.” It did. | And the next year Yale gave up its | rally also. Of course this is really not a sign of boredom and indifference, but a sign | that Bill McGeehan is right when he says the undergraduates have a much saner attitude toward the sport than the old grads have or the public at large. It is saner and more adult. It | values pumped-up enthusiasm a true worth and labels it ‘Wants Teachers, Not Bricks. His thinking and feeling have led him to question so many traditions. and he has seen such a breakdown in liberalism in the world around him, which once would have claimed his devotion, that he honestly isn't sure enough of him- self to care to show enthusiasms. Actu- ally he is at heart hungry and eager for leadership that seems to him for- ward looking, honest and unfettered. He wants teachers, not bricks and mor- tar. If you will talk with the average undergraduate today, you will find him much more inclined to enthusiasm about his teachers in science than about those in history, philosophy, literature, and so on. He can seldom tell you why, | but now and then you will encounter an expressive one who will plainly say it is because the science teacher is trying only to find out what is true, while the others refuse to try to clear away pre- conceptions. | In other words, the undergraduate of | today wants to use his own mind, and he wants teachers who will show him how to do it and let him decently alone in the proccss. He can look after his own college traditions for himself, thank you, and if he finds a lot of them are bunk, he isn't going to hesitate to say so. 5 ‘That's a whole lot more interesting than being a rah rah boy. Columbia Has Problem. Meanwhile th: Columbia students now have a fight on their hands. The Harkness millions have been bestowed on Columbia to build & new library, and it is proposed to set it on South Field, the only wide-open space Colum- bia can boast, the only spot where the undergraduates can exercise. The news wasn't sprung till the stu- dent paper had printed its last issue for the year, so written comment isn't available. It would certadnly have in- 2d a hot revolt had there been a chance. Probably some editor would have pointed out that Harvard couldn't wait to accept millions for iis library until it could secure a proper place to put it, but stuck it into the yard, where it dwarfs everything else, robs other buildings of light and is a misfit gen- erally. Now Columbia can’t wait to get a proper place for its gift, but must de- stroy what little campus it has and take away the one open space for exer- cise near the college lest a few millions ‘.'scl'.ge its grasp. It might even occur to the editor to quote the undergrad- uate opinion, widely expressed, that real generosity would include sites to put buildings on when none is available otherwise. At any rate, this editorial would have been one more indication that the un- dergraduate of today is in revolt, and intelligent revolt, against excessive em- phasis on siz>, on brick and mortar, on the control of his destinies by wealth, | however philanthropic, and, above all, | by mere tradition=lism. He is seeking, however blindly, for the true values in his college lif>, and they have got to be his values, not those invented by some- body else, maybe long ago. Show him his values, and he will go with you just as far, just s hard, just as enthusias- STAR, WASHINGTON, and animals. Care in handling the corms at time of digging helps to reduce hazard from these rots. The corms should be separated from the old root as soon as possible and held in a_cool, dry storage room. ; The husks should be removed prior to planting to b2 cer- t.lrin :shn the under’ corm is free of rots. THE GARDEN CLUBS Some reflections from the recent Ta- koma Horticultural Club rose show are that, despite the advent of many new roses each year, the old varieties still compete strongly for supremacy. J. B. Clark, a famous old hybrid perpet- ual, won first place as best flower in the entire show. This varlety was grown by W. T. Simmons of Aspen street and is always to be found in the front line of prize winners at Takoma shows. The old reliable Frau Karl Druschki has often taken first honors, but for some reason was not at its best in this show. One reason for the su- premacy of the older roses is their vig- orous growth, indicated in sturdy stems and healthy follage, an attribute in which many of the newer roses are often lacking. Fine red roses, in addi- tion to J. B. Clark, were Etolle de Hollande, aret McGredy and, of course, Red Radlance. Yellow varieties were, as usual, in minority. The canary yellow, Mrs. E. P. Thom, was in evi- dence, and the Duchess of Wellington made its customary attractive appear- ance. A basket of Climbing Sunburst, displayed by Louis Voelker of Willow avenue, received much admiration be- cause of the finely developed buds, with their various hues of light pink, some of the blooms being so distinct that one would almost believe them of a dif- ferent variety. Mr. Voelker had a fine collection, including some of the finest new varleties, all of which showed the care that the exhibitor must have taken in their raising. One of the out- standing members of this collection was the salmon pink Los Angeles, a sen- sation of a few years ago and still de- servedly popular. The Hyattsville Horticultural Soclety met Thursday evening at the home of Dr. and Mrs. V. K. ‘hestnut on Lut- trell avenue. to a general discussion of garden prob- lems and club activities. The Hyatts- ville society has completed a successful | Spring season. having won second leg on The Evening Star trophy and staged a splendid flower show of its own in Hyattsville. As reported by the publicity chalr- | man, the Spring show of flowers, fruits and vegetables staged by the Wood- ridge Garden Club June 1 and 2 was up to the high standard set in previous years despite the heavy rain which damaged many flowers and interfered greatly with the activities of the ex- hibitors. Mrs. A. L. Foster, chairman of the Show Committee, was pleased with the number and quality of the ex- hibits. W. H. Gannaway was the lead- ing prize winner, having a total of 32 points. Mrs. A. H. Engelbrecht was second with a score of 21 points. The judges were Prof. A. S. the University of Maryland and E. W. Sheets of the Department of Agricul- ture.

GARDEN ITEMS Orlru are now completing their blooming, apparently with a good pros- pect for a satisfactory crop exoept where plants were actually injured by the 1930 drought. Grape blosroms are so_inconspicuous that they may bloom without being observed unless one ap: f':mches near enough to hear the many sects and smell the f1 nce of the flowers. Unfortunately with the blos soming season comes the need of spra; ing. Gardeners may recollect the wormy berries that spoiled the appearance and eating quality of their grapes last year. casual insect is known as the berry moth and 1s best controlled by spraying just after the n{c‘m' berries have set. The Cornell University recommendation for control of the berry moth is fol- lows: Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50, arsenate of lead, one and one-half pounds of the powdered form, and resin fish oil soap, one and one-half pounds applied just as soon as the fruit has set. ‘The weather has favored Spring seed- ings of lawn grass. Water may not be a fertilizer, but it is the medium in which all plant foot must be dissolved in order to becoms available to the plant. And of course water serves its primary purpose of keeping the cells of the plant moist and turgid. Cotton- seed meal, applied at the rate of one pound per 100 square feet of lawn, makes an excellent top dressing for the old lawn. Preferably the fertilizer should be ‘? lied before a rain or washed in with the hose or sprinkler. Cottonseed meal is a complete fertilizer in itself, having an analysis of 7-3-: Root maggots in the cabbage and caulifiower can be fairly well controlled by placing a pad of tarred paper about the root at time of setting. The paper ' thould be cut to fit the stem quite closely. After heavy rains care must be taken to prevent the soil from crusting over | lima bean seeds, since the young plants are often unable to force the large seed leaves through a coating of stiff lay. Some gardeners start their lima bean seeds in pots or boxes and trans- fer the plants directly to the row. This plan works out very nicely in the case of a small home garden where the labor factor is of no direct concern. Western melon growers have a diffi- cult task in determining when melons are fit to pick for Eastern shipment. They cannot wait until the green is turning slightly yellow, but have to judge maturity by size and netting. Picked too green, the melons never are good. Picked too ripe, they fail to reach markets. W. T. Simmons, chairman of the Takoma Horticultural Club's Purchas- ing Committee, states that breaking of colors in tulips the result of a dis- ease and recommends that where pos- sible, growers discard such stock and | start answ. Some of the broken colors are rather attractive, but the gardener should discard the bulbs. Control may be effected by prompt removal of dis- eased plants and the use of dusts or sprays to control aphids, which are the | carriers. W.C. T.U.
