HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

Old Marcus Aurelius Antonius may
have been a wonderful old boy In his
day, and sure he has been press
agented as the greatest of the great
when II comes to philosophy, but it's
doubtful il he'd fit in these times.
The splendors of throne had no
fascination for him. the indulgence In
luxury he set aside. He found his
greatest joy in looking around him
and seeing the things he could do
without. When others wanted this,
that or the other, worked and fought
for it, old Marcus smiled and said to
himself. "Am l not blessed that | do
not need these things?" Sounds
kind of good on the surface, but sup
pose we all did it. We'd be back in
caves in five years. What would be-
come of the business structure? We
might get along without the packers
trust. but what about the follow who
makes lollypops? Why. old Marcus
plan would even put Santa Claus out
of business.

NINE SHRUBS SUGGESTED
FOR BEAUTlFYiNG LAWNS

There are at least nine varieties
of shrubs which can be planted by
Kentuckians to beautify their home
grounds, according to N. r. Elliott,
of the College of Agriculture. The
height of the shrubs will attain, the
size of the individual plants and their
hardness are the important things to
remember in making mass and bor-
der paintings with them, he has
pointed out.
Deutzia, which grows from four to
six feet high, has a white and pink
flower that blooms from May until
early June. This shrub is free flow
ering and is most satisfactory for
planting in groups.
Pearl bush grows from five to six
feet high and has white flower that
blooms during May and June. 1t
gives the best effect when planted
with other shrubs. The flowers are
beautiful and may be used for cut
ting.
Golden bell, which grows from four
to five feet high. has yellow flower
that blooms during May This shrub
should be given a prominent place in
the masses and border paintings as
it has a large yellow flower that
blooms before the leaves appear,
Rhododendron grows four to six
feet high and has white, red and
pink flowers that bloom during May
and June. This shrub has a heavy
foliage with broad leaves and is es-
pecially good in corner hedge plant

ite shrubs. 1t grows to be four to six
feet tall and has white flowers that
bloom during May and June.
The lilac grows 10 to Is feet tall
and blooms during May and June, the
flowers ranging in color from white
to the characteristic lilac color. This
shrub is satisfactory to mix in very
heavy paintings or it can be used in
rows. The newer varieties are said
to be better than the older ones.
Snowfall reaches a height of 10 to
~ feet and has white flowers that
bloom during May and June. This

CRANBERRY CROP PAYS WELL
If CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT

Cranberry culture is recommended
as a profitable industry under suit
able conditions and in certain eli
mates by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
At a recent conference of extension
workers the possibilities, advan-
tages and drawbacks in cranberry
growing were discussed.
The bulk of the present cranberry
crop is grown on the acid soils and
peat boys of Massachusetts. parts of
New Jersey, New York. Wisconsin,
Michigan, and near the mouth Of the
Columbia river in Washington and
Oregon. Some cranberries are also
grown in the mountain districts of
Virginia and West Virginia
Preparation of the land for Gran
berry growing is an expensive pro-
cess. All trees and roots have to be
removed from the marsh and burn
ed, and the fields graded, ditched.
dyked and sanded Before the war
swamp land could thus be cleared and
prepared for about $500 to 500 per
acre. At present prices of labor and
material this work viii cost anywhere
from $500 TO $1,000.
The ground must be suitably locat-
ed and prepared carefully because 1t
is important to have good water
supply and good drainage facilities.
The water is also used for controlling
insect enemies. II is necessary to
have a reservoir from which the bog
can be flooded.
II is essential that the cranberry
grower be prepared to ward on IN
sects and diseases, both of which are
very destructive. In New jersey
where conditions are favorable for
the development of certain fungous
diseases. proper spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture was found to- control
the diseases and is generally prac'
ticed.
Ordinarily, the price of cranberries
per barrel is from Sc TO $40. although
during the past eyar as much as SAC
per barrel was obtained for small
I lots.

CLOVER ROOT BORERS
DISCOVERED IN FIELDS
NEAR CONNERSvILLE

CONNERSVILLE. Ind. June 13.-
Glover root borers. which ordinarily
feed on the clover plant. have been
discovered in corn fields near Con-
nersville. and south land east of that
city They are small white grubs. the
larvae of a brownish beetle which is
seen in the adult form in the fall or
late summer These grubs are to be
found in the soil around the roots of
the plant
Fearing damage to their corn, farm
crs who discovered the borers report
cd them to Charles Robinson. county
agent, who sent specimens to Purdue
A reply from J. J. Davis, entomol-
ogist, states that they rarely touch
corn. and usually are found only IN
second year clover. No serious dam
age to the corn is anticipated from
them. The eggs ordinarily are laid
in the roots of clover, and the grubs
burrow into them, causing no visible
damage unless dry weather causes
the plant to die With plenty of rain,
however. the plant seems healthy,
only failing TO grow as fast as plants
which are not infested.
Summer following is the control
method advised wherever the borers
become numerous. Flowing so as to
turn up the clover roots and kill the
host plants just when the insects are
maturing will eliminate them. The
insect has not been found so seriously
injurious that this method is often
followed, however.
