REAL ESTATE. REALTORS MARK TERMF'S ADOPTION Membership Desigation An- niversary to Be Observed at New Orleans. The twentieth year since the adop- tion of the term “realtor” as its mem- bership designation will be celebrated by the National Association of Real Estate Boards all through its twenty- ninth annual convention to be held in New Orleans, November 16-21. The term realtor came into its offi- cial existence and meaning at the ninth annual convention (1916) of the association, also held in New Or- leans. A jubilee dinner, to be an “old timers’ ” dinner given in honor of the past presidents of the association, will be the opening event, with old-time photographs now being drawn from every part of the country to be thrown on the screen, recalling earlier realtor milestones of the decade before the birth of the word realtor itself. Among photographs to be shown will be one taken here on January 27, 1916, when the Washington Real Estate Board was host to a national group of real estate men. George Y. Worthington waes president of the Washington board at the time, and the picture shows a number of local real- tors who are still active in business. The membership designation was eoined by Charles N. Chadbourn of Minneapolis Real Estate Board and given by him to the association. Mr. Chadbourn, “Father Realtor,” will be present, for the celebration. All former officers of the national association are invited to take part in the dinner, to be held on Tuesday evening, November 17, the evening preceding the opening of the general sessions. Two Washington realtors who have served as president of the national board are expected to attend the din- ner. They are John L. Weaver of Weaver Bros, who was head of the association in 1919, and Willlam C. Miller of the firm of W. C. & A. N. Miller, president of the organization in 1933.

Hollowell pre- sented some very timely infor- mation on the care of outdoor chrys- anthemums. At this season all| plants, except dwarf varieties, should be staked to prevent winds and rains from toppling the plants. The most desirable method of staking is that in which each plant is surrounded by a circular wire support, but single stakes are better than none. Disbudding is highly desirable in the larger types of outdoor chrysanthemums, saving the terminal buds and pinching off the side buds. These side buds continue to push out right up to the time of blooming, making necessary repeated disbudding every week or so. Spray- ing at this time is of little avail, but should be borne in mind another sea- son as a means of preventing the dropping of the lower leaves. Bor- deaux mixture is the most effective spray material. Bronzing of the low- er leaves may sometimes be caused by | a lack of potash in the soil and might result where nitrogen alone was used for fertilizer. A well-balanced com- | plete fertilizer is required by the | chrysanthemum, but it is now too late to fertilize this season, as the only | result might very well be a stimulation | of vegetative development and a cor- responding decrease in flowers.

If gardeners are consulted, answers probably would | not agree. On the whole, Autumn | should be the better season in this region, but with severe Winters, such as prevailed last year and the year before, there may well be a difference of opinion. As a rule, the nursery- man digs all his saleable roses in Au- tumn, disposes of what he can and puts the remainder in a large storage cellar to await Spring. Rather obvi- ously, those plants that are in the cel- lar will suffer some root injury from mildew and other rots.

With mounding, new plants will Winter safely and will make new root growth in Spring before it would be possible to get Spring purchased stock into the soil. In mild Winters the roots will continue to grow right through the dormant period.

He demonstrated that other factors besides chance play a part in the production of prize- winning roses. Blooms may be re- strained from opening too rapidly by tying a piece of soft yarn around the central part of partly-opened buds just after the outer petals have expanded.

That frost is not necessary to cause the dropping of leaves is evident in the fact that some species are already bare. Droughty conditions are a fac- tor, but it seems to be the inherent nature of some trees to drop their leaves early. Something of the same may be said with regard to coloring of Autumn leaves.
