BANKING The HOUSE.
With SHRUBS

If houses were built without fOun-
datiOnS there would be no need OF
plants around III chase to tie them t0
the ground. The average house, now
ever needs maSSing Of shrubs to
unity it with the turf and make 1t
appear like Il permanent structure
and not something which has simply
been dropped there for temporary
stav. II is easy enough to test the
correctness of this statement by look
ing first at a house which IS deNoid
of planting. and then comparing 1t
with another which has been banked
with shrubbery. especially II the
planting has been we'll done.
Admitting, then, that plantlhs
around the base of a house helps 10
make a home hOmelike, and adds TO
the Joy of the owner, let us see What
shrubs are available for the purpose,
The list as any nurserymah cata-
lOeue will show us, is long one,
but it is easy to see that hrst
choice will include those kinds Whlch
are refined in character and not TOO
rank in growth, for we Will nave
them as our intimate companions
the year round.
Some people think. untortuhalelE'
that they are doing the correct thlng
when they buy a mixed lot OF ever
greens and set them out at regular
intervals across the front OF the
house. These evergreen plants may
look pretty enough at first. but III
the course of few years they are
bound to grow much too large lot
their location. Yet there is dls-
tinct advantage in using eVerSreehs
for banking the house. because OF
their beauty in winter as well as IN
SIMMER. 1t may be said IN passing
that the evergreens cost ra1hef more
1han deciduous shrubs. but that tact
NAV be offset by their value as year
round specimens.
Among the good kinds to use are
The japanese Yew, the low growing
Junipers rhodendrOns, MahonlaS.
IeucOthoe Cataesbaei RetlnoSperaS
Japanese Cypress), Mountain Lau-
rel, Japanese Holly (lleX crenata) !,
and the Inkberry. Very Hkeiy you

growth and so may be used as ac-
cents for the planting scheme. They
grow particularly we'll between win
dows, and harmonizc With almost
any evergreen planting.
The YeWs il left to themselves
may grow too tail. but can be kept
cut back and are to be used when
foliage about six feet high is desired.
There is also a dwarf Japanese IeW,
known as TaXus brevifOlia. which Is
almost as handsome as BONWoO
and grows very slowly. For specI-
men at each side of the entrance or
perhaps at the corners Of the house,
you can use Mugho Pine. an inter-
&sting lOW-grOWing round evergreen
that looks like a big pin cushion.
Finally YOU will need the running
plant known as Pachysandra. which
will eventually carpet the ground
under the shrubs and which keeps Its
leaves all the year around. Inc
use of Pachysandra should not be
confined to evergreen planting, either
In fact it can often be used to even
better advantage where declduous
shrubs are employed, adding much
TO their winter effect.
Suppose however, that the house
is to be banked With shrubs when

not follow because of the fact that
tn planting need be without charm
during the cold months, for ii care
is taken to choose such kinds as have

with perhaps one particularly good
specimen standing slightly away from
the others.
Among the taller shrubs which can
be recommended are Spiraea Van

varieties of Philadelphus known as

the White kerria, Regel's Privet,

this list might be greatly extended,
but far too many have been named
already for use iii any one collec-
ton The list is simply given so
that a choice may be made to include
those which give Il long series OF
bloom and carry attractive fruits
through the winter, the COralberry.
the CotOneasters, the barberries and
the High Bush Cranberries being
the fruiting plants.
OF course if the house is small,
with low windows the taller grow
ing shrubs should be discarded in
! favor of those which make only
medium growth. And in every in
| stance care should be taken not to
| plant shrubs in front of the windows.
| This is Il mistake often made be-
| cause as the plants are small when
set out, the owner does not realize
! that ultimately they may reach such
! a height as to completely shut OF the
! outlook. Ii is wise to avoid mask
! ing the basement windows, too, for
probably the light is needed there.
; There is nothing intricate about
! the banking OF a house with shrubs,
! and in no way can the attractiveness
! Of cottage or mansion be enchanced
| to a greater degree. If a little taste
! and care are exercised, foundation
| planting not only increases the JOY
! of the owner but adds not a little to
! the value of the property, something
I which the real estate men in many
surburban sections have already
/ learned.

1920 WAS GREATEST
CORN CROP YEAR IN
COUNTRY'S HISTORY
fRx rhs Associated pressl

Washington, Jan. 20.-1920 was
the greatest corn year in the his
tory Of the country according to
the records of the department of
agriculture. Besides growing rec
ord crop of 3,232,367,000 bushels,
the farmers established a new rec
ord for average yield per acre with
800 bushels, the second time in
history that the country's average
yield went past thirty bushels.
The area planted to corn last
year was 104,601, 900 acres which
was smaller than the area planted
in eight other years heretofore and
100000 acres smaller than the
area which produced the previous
record crop of 3,124,746,000 BUSH
els in 1912. Last years crop was
the third to exceed 100000, 600
bushels.
Iowa. the countrys greatest corn
producing state, made an average
of forty-siX bushels to the acre for
the first time in its history. The
highest average acre yield of any
state was that of Vermont with
forty seven bushels. Maine in 1919
had the highest average acre yield
with sixty bushels. In the ten years
previous to that year the highest
average acre yield has been made
by one of the New England states.
Connecticut had highest yield in
six OF the ten years, Massachusetts
in two, New Hampshire in one.
and Vermont and Massachusetts,
tying in one.

FARM HANDS WAGES
MORE THAN DOUBLED
THE LAST TEN YEARS

Washington, Jan. 20.-Wages of
hired men on farms have more
than doubled in the last ten years,
tripled in the last twenty years and
were more than four times higher
last year than they were In 1873.
These changes are shown by statis-
tics of the department of agricul-
ture.
Wages paid by the month, with
out board, averaged $685. for the
country as whole last year, ten
years ago they averaged $275O
and in 1879 they were $10.43.
Day labor at harvest time last
year averaged 4,36 without board
and at other than harvest time
$3.50. Ten years ago harvest time
labor was paid $1.82 and at other
than harvest time $1.3S. In 1894
harvest time day labor was paid
$1.13 and non harvestime labor
81 cents a day.
California and Nevada farmers
paid their labor the highest prices
for labor without board, the aver
age in those states last year having
been $107 month. The lowest
average was in Mississippi where
SAL was paid. The average for the
country as on whole was $64.95
the northern Atlantic states aver
aged $7E54, the South Atlantic
$50.56, the northeast central states
$1,000, the northwest central
states, $51.94 and the far eastern
states, $99.43.
For harvest time labor with tout
board North Dakota paid the high
est rate with $40 cents a day
while at other than harvest time
South Dakota paid the highest
rate with $500 cents day.

A DAY wfTm VIVIAN MORTON

CHAPTER XVIII.
mad spent the five dollars Tom
gave me for gloves, a veil, and
white crepe collar and cuffs to
freshen up my tailor suit, which
now looked so terribly countrified
to me; but the result was far
from satisfactory. 1 was almost
tempted to call Vivian Morton up
and say l was i'll when the day
dawned bright and warm for the
time of year. But ! couldn't re-
sist the lure of the promised good
time, and was ready and waiting
nearly half an hour before she
came for me.
AS / leaned luXuriously back
in the car listening to her clever
talk, / again wondered why Tom
had elected to marry me when
he might have married Vivian
Morton. She wore a tailor suit
as she said she would but her
fur stole and muff gave her an
air of elegance. Then too, her
suit was of the finest broadcloth,
made in the latest style, with a
little becoming toque to match,
trimmed with fur.
We rode down through Central
Park, then on down crowded
Fifth avenue to Washington Arch.
I mentioned tnat that part of New
York was entirely unknown to
me, and she told the chauffeur
to go through Greenwich village,
and to drive slowly so that I
might see the historic and Bohem-
ian places which she pointed out.
A PLACE TO LUNCH.

asked, after looking at her cute
little wrist watch, well go any
where you like"

"That eliminates that! Well go
to one of the uptown restaurants.

As she had said the place on
upper Fifth avenue was crowded.
But the moment the head waiter
saw us, he came forward, and

AFTER reading your recent ar

writes a reader of this column. 81
! mad never thought of using it in
| any way save as fuel, but now
am putting it most of the other
uses you suggest and find that it
saves me actual money; it saves
buying sCourers and fancy clean
ing preparations which I used to
get. SO | am writing to ask you
to write an article on the differ
ent uses to which gasoline may
| be put My husband works in
a machine shop and can get all
the gasoline he wants at q very
low cost and | am wondering how
l could use it about the home"
I am glad to hear from at least
| one reader that my article on kerr
! osene has been useful. For that
is what efficient housekeeping"
means-getting the maximum of
utility out of everything we pos
sess. Gasoline, too, can be put
to many uses which the average
housekeeper never thinks of.
Gasoline is the best extermina-
| tor for moths and other pests
which have gotten into mattress
SEES or upholstered furniture. Such
articles should be drenched in
gasoline and then given several
days in the open air for eVapOra-
ton before being restored to use
The following gasoline prepare
ton is excellent to clean carpets
and rugs with:
Gasoline Preparation for Carpet
Cleaning: Cut bar of good white
soap into small pieces and add l
quart of hot water and set on back
of stove until soap is dissolved,
then add l pint of gasoline and
mix thoroughly. Rub the mixture
thoroughly into the rug or car
pet with a stiff brush. leaving
the carpet stretched upon the
floor. Now with a thin, sharp piece
of board scrape the paste well
off the rug and wipe carefully with
damp cloth. After all the rug

dows and allow the air to circulate
freely until the rug is quite dry
and all the gasoline fumes have

must not be done near heat or
flame, for gasoline is very inflam-
mable.
But perhaps the most frequent
use gasoline in the home is that
of a clothes cleaning agent. Silks,
satins, georgette crepe and other
fabrics which are harmed by
washing in water may be i'm
mersed in gasoline with excellent
success.
Furs may be beautifully cleaned
with gasoline; this is done by
first brushing the fur well, then
wiping it down with a piece of
soft flannel, followed by a second
wiping with a wisp of cotton which
has been tied in old silk and
dipped lightly in gasoline. The

How are we prepared to receive them?
Here is how the Red Cross up the needs
of these children:
"A tremendous emergency exists in eastern
and central Europe. It is due to new or
sudden causes, but is the persistent result of
the chaos consequent upon the war.
1.-THE expectancy on the part of the Amer
lean relief organizations that the present
autumn would end the demand for their aid
has been disappointed.
1.-THE hope that widely planted crops would
yield a bountful and adequate harvest has
not been realized.
Poverty, privation suffering and death
stn march unchallenged and unchecked.
Economically and politically the ruined
world must wait.
But there is a cry that cannot be hushed
and there is challenge that cannot be dis
regarded.
1T is the cry Of hungry children; the chal-
lenge of Life or Death.

have never learned to smile
