ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Potatoes should not be washed for
exhibition purposes. Washing has I,
tendency to cause them to rot.
Now is a good time to find fruiting
grape vines and bitter sweet for trans
planting to the home grounds.
Plant tulips and crocus III the ground
now and hyacinths, datfodils, etc, in
pots for spring blooming
Peonies and iris may still be set out
to advantage. This is also good
time to set rhubarb in the garden.
Green tomatoes picked just before
frost and laid ON shelves in moderate
ly warm room will continue to ripen
for some time.
- Destroy all weeds on the place. One
weed may scatter thousands of seed
which soon produce plants.
More nursery stock Of all kinds is
being propa gated in this country than
ever before. Nurscrvnlcn are collecting
seed of many native trees and shrubs
for propagation purposes.
Muskmelons Of fine quality and
weighing from 20 to % pounds are
grown near Montreal, Canada, by ex
pert growers. Most of us are satisfied
with smaller ones if they are of good
quality. Many homes get along without
any. Don't do it. Plant few hills
next spring.
Census figures show that in 10 years
the number Of apple trees in the coun-
try has decreased about 65,OO0,OO0.

line plunges by the alumni brought the
ball to the 25-ward line and forward

another touchdown when Al. Gierok re-
covered the ball on a tumble and Long
ley made thirty yards for the touch.

ed forward pass and ran IS yards for
touchdown. Goal was again missed
by Brown. With the score tied and

standing there now. but instead of her

to Take Up Question of Citq
Employees Needs.

The Federation of Citizens Associa-

ing to consider the need for an in
crease in the salaries Of the statutory
employees Of the District government.
This was made known today by Will
liam Nick. Clayton. a delegate to the
federation. who said he believed the
organized citizenship of the District
should act upon that issue.
Mr.. Clayton declared his personal
opinion that the clerks in the munich
pal service should have an increase
even If some items of municipal i'm
provement have to be left out Of the
District bill.
The Commissioners had a confer
ence yesterday with Assistant Direct
or Of the Budget Abbott to learn from
him what policy the federal depart
ments are pursuing with regard to
salaries in their annual estimates.
Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of
the board. said he could not reveal the
information he and his colleagues OBJ
tanned.
Salaries Of statutory employees in
the District service are admittedly
more than Is per cent lower than
similar workers in the federal govern
ment receive.
