In the Hunt Country BY NINA CARTER TABB. ORSES are relegated to the background today in the hunt I l country as the ladies of Vir- | ginia gather in Alexandria for | the sixth annual narcissus show of the Garden Club of Virginia. The armory on Bouth Royal street is a bower of | beauty. At the door hedges of green pine and stone jars and tubs of apple | and cherry bloom and forsythia meet | the eye. The pines are arranged high on the walls above a black covering, | making a spectacular background for | tables and stands of yellow and white narcissus. In the center of the floor are long tables and tiers covered with blue, on which are displayed yellow | and white flowers in black and white | vases. ‘The collection of several hundred va- rieties includes everything from small blooms suitable for rock gardens to great trumpets measuring from 4 to 5 inches across. One of the most fa- mous, which always attracts an audi- | ence, is the Mrs. Backhus, the only | pink variety. | The ladies from the horse country | ean think of nothing but flowers to- | day. They have picked their finest blooms to take to Alexandria to com- pete with flowers from all over Vir- ginia and an exhibit flown from the Oregon Bulb Garden that is arousing | a great deal of interest among Eastern | growers. Alexandria’s narcissus show is recog- nized by the Royal Horticultural So- ciety of England as one of the most | important of all narcissus exhibits. | The American Horticultural Society meeting in Washington voted to change dates of annual meetings to co- incide with those of the narcissus show, so that its members, numbering some of the most enthusiastic garden- ers of the country, can be present. Mrs. Floyd Harris of Aldie, Va. director of the American Horticul- ture Society, has been in Alexandria for several days, staying with Mrs. Gardner Boothe. The judges arrived | in town last night and were enter- | tained by Mrs. Boothe at luncheon | today. Among the judges are Miss Rose Greeley of Washington, daugh-z ter of the late Horace Greeley; Mrs. | McCook Knox of Washington, Mrs. | John Ihlder of Georgetown, Mrs. Edwin Powell of Rockville, Md., Mrs. Crowninshield of Wilmington, Del Mrs. Peckham of New York and form- er president of Federated Clubs, Mrs. Love of Michigan and Mrs. Sharpe of Chambersburg, Pa. Other ladies in Alexandria for the ghow are Mrs. Lewis Larus of Rich- mond, Mrs. Joseph Walker of Orange, Va., Miss Martha Harris, Mrs. Fairfax Harrison, Mrs. William Massey and | Mrs, Daniel C. Sands, president of the | Garden Clubs of Virginia. : \/IRGINIA women have worked hard X to make this the most beautiful of the narcissus shows. All of the ex- hibits are lovely. Mrs. John Reid of | Chatham, Va., who received the sweep- stakes cup last year, stand an excel- lent chance of winning it again. Her John Evalyn blooms with white per- anth and crown of lemon yellow are magnificent.

(#)—Every- body talks about duststorms, but Dr. W. B. Gernert of Oklahoma A. and M. College is doing something about them. Dr. Gernert, agronomist and weather man for the experiment station at the college, has set up 'duxt catchers to determine the com- position and amount of soil brought | into Oklahoma by the storms. The catchers are large pans set more than 20 feet in the air and are designed to catch the dust as it falls. Height of the catchers prevents any- thing except storm dust from falling in, making it possible to determine accurately how much dust falls on each acre. Dr. Gernert hopes to determine the source of duststorms by studying this dust.

They sald the workers who take sca- sonal jobs sometimes return to W. P. A. to find that others from relief rolls have taken their former positions. Re- hiring the men is difficult in some cases, it was said, but no order against doing so has been issued. OFFICERS INSTALLED Club of Washington Holds Annual Banquet.
