PAST ENROLMENT
 RECORDS SMASHED
323 Already Registered at Birmingham Southern and
 50 More Expected

Birmingham Southern college has already shattered all past enrolment records, when Dr. Guy E. Snavely announced yesterday afternoon that 323 students had been registered in the academic department Of the col lege, while the law, extension and other departments were only opening enrolment today. Fifty additional students are expected to register on the academic roll yet, it was stated.
 Although the chapel exercises in short and simple, several speakers made short addresses. pr. M. E.. Lazenby, editor of the Alabama Christian Advocate and alumnus of Blrmingham-Southe was the first speaker, urging the students to con- tinue in college until their educa- ton was as near complete as pos- sible.
 pr. Frank Willis Barnett followed pr. Snavely, president, who made several announcements. Dr. Bar nett praised Birmingham Southern. predicting prosperous future for the institution.
 Others on the program were R. S. Munger. chairman of the executive committee of the institution; Dr. c. c. Daniels, former president of Bir- mingham Southern: o. Gordon Brick son, Dr. Robert Echo1s and pr. E. G. Mackey.
 pr. Snavely made several an- nouncements relative to the increase in enrolment of the college for this year, pointing out that 1S0 students were enrolled at this time last year. as compared to 323 yesterday.

 sound. All buds that seem to be af- fected should be removed and de- stroyed. Kerosene oil emulsion If brought in contact with eggs or mag gots will destroy. Spraying the ground round about the bushes with kerosene emulsion will destroy the insect in any form should 1t reach the pest.
 Q. Is there a true white perennial delphinium? I bought one this past spring, but the blooms were mixed? Mrs S., Florence
 A. In Chinese delphiniums there are numbers of white varieties, but not very hardy. There is a white, sported from the true blue bella donna deiphiniun, and the type is well fixed. Plants can be secured of proven white flowers. but seed from most whites will produce plants that may be of several shades of color.
 Q. Why do we have to send to Hol- land for our Dutch hyacinths? Can't they be grown somewhere in Amer ica? J.
 A The growing of bulbs in Hol- land has been highly specialized industry for centuries and heretofore they have been produced so cheaply as to destroy incentive for American production. The Pacific coast is building up considerable bulb growing industry and with the am ticipated duty and strict Quaran- tine regulations, America will soon produce large per cent of her bulbs.
 o. How large does freesia bulb have to be before it will produce flowers? Mrs. L. B.. Gadsden.
 A. Size don't make so much diff ference If the bulb Is two years or more old. The small or medium sized often produce better flowers than a much larger or older bulb. Half-inch bulbs are about the size the florists use.
 c. I see advertised yellow paper white narcissus. How can a paper white be yellow? Is the difference in the flower? Mrs. F.. Decatur.
 A. Yeliof paper white narcissus is Grand Soleil DOT, an early blooming narcissus. closely related to paper white, differing chiefly In color of bloom, which is yellow.
 c. Will kerosene oil emulsion kill lice on beets and how strong should 1t be used? Mrs. A.. R. F. D. 2.
 A. Dilute the stock or concentrated solution 15 to 20 times with water and spray so as to reach all parts of plant. The remedy Is generally ef- fective.
