GARDEN NOTES

By M. A. C. Horticultural Dept.
Early cabbage plants should be in
the garden now. If necessary to
purchase plants, Early Jersey Wake
field is good variety.
A small tarred felt disk placed on
the ground around the stem of each
plant will help control the cabbage
maggot.
Early potatoes are now being
planted on warm sandy soils. Irish
Cobbler and Early Ohio are excellent
varieties to grow in Michigan.
For potato scab, soak the tubers 80
minutes in solution of Formalin (1
pint to 80 gallons of water.) This
should be done before the potatoes
are cut.
This is a good time to divide and
reset perennial Towering plants such
as larkspurs and phlox. These often
do better if the clumps are divided
every three or four years.
Strawberry Shortcake in Octo-
ber." You can have it if you set
everbearing strawberry plants now.
We have found the Superb one of the
best varieties of this type.
Better tomato plants are secured
by giving them plenty of space in
which to grow. Remove the plants
from the seed boxes and transplant
them at least two inches apart in flats
or shallow boxes.

ARROR AND BIRD DAY PRO.
CLAMATION.

The observance of Arbor Day at
this season of the year is custom
long since established. It's purpose
is to foster the conservation of our
tree and forest resources, both as
an aesthetic and economic necessity.
Suppose some great disaster should
rob the world of its trees. 1t is
almost unthinkable. A treeless world
is well nigh beyond our power to
conceive. To an extent seldom
realized, our comfort and our happi-
ness are dependent upon the trees.
They furnish food and shade and
s-OWOSSO
shelter for man and beast. They
build our homes and fill them with
furniture. They help to conserve
our water supply. They satisfy our
sense of beauty. In innumerable
ways they contribute to our well
being.
Trees, too, are the natural home
of most of our birds, and what
dreary, cheerless place this world
would be with either birds or trees
b
lacking.
Therefore, by virtue of the au-
thority vested in me as Governor OF
the State of Michigan, / do hereby
designate and set aside Friday, May
9th, 1921, as Arbor and Bird Day,
and I request that exercises appro-
pirate to the day be held in all our
schools and that teachers seek to i'm
press their pupils with the Importance
of maintaining our shade trees and
protecting our song birds. l suggest
further that the boys and girls in
school be encouraged to study the
characteristics and habits of Michi-
gan birds.

New Capital Plans.

The new state capitol will be located
just west of Capitol street instead of
east, if the plans that have been draft
ed by G. =. Payton. civil engineer, and
Joseph Webb, craftsman. materialize.
These plans have been presented to
Governor Morgan and the board Of
public works for consideration. No
action has been taken by the board Of
public works, though il is said to look
favOrably on the plan.
To purchase the block bounded by
Lee, Broad, Washington and Dickin-
son streets at about 100000, close
Dickinson street and throw into one il
the original plan. This was the one
that was sometime ago prepared I'M
der the direction of the chamber OF
commerce.
The Peyton plans propose that the
state acquire a tract adjoining the lots
on which are now located the govern
or's mansion, state board Of control
and the temporary capitol. The lOca-
ton of the capitol building would be
on Il rectangular shaped lot $50 feet
by go feet extending from Capitol
street to Laidley street and from Don
ally street to the Y. NJ. G. A., the
Strand Theater and property lying be-
tween the two. The plot of ground
would contain eight acres. The state
now owns one-fourth Of this. This
property, it is said, could he purchased
for about one-half of what the prop
erty in the other plan could be got for.
