 Q. I want to SOW the quickest growing permanent grass for a COW pasture. Tell me whaty L. B.. R. F. D. {.
 A. Sow mixture of orchard grass. red top and English rye and add little alsike clover.
 Q. What fertilizer would you rec ommend as the best to use In the hole in setting out peach and apple stock7 M. L.. Cullman.
 A. Good surface soil or woods earth with pound of complete fer tilizer containing 8 to 10 per cent phosphoric acid, 2 to per cent of potash. The fertilizer should not be simply dumped into the hole but thoroughly mixed in as the dirt is placed around the roots. The strength or quantity of fertilizer should be determined by the natural fertility of the soil. Animal manure, especially when very old. often gives good results but In most cases is too heating, and besides, frequently harbors disease and insects injuri- ous to root development in fruit trees.
 Q. How many apple trees would you set out to the acre? R. s. Sip sey.
 A. One should be governed both by the fertility of the soil and varl- ety. They should be no closer than 25 feet each way, which would give So trees to the acre, and where soil Is very fertile. 30 feet would be better and only AS would be re- qured to the acre.

 'In the beginning of our country the custom was established by the devout fathers of observing annually day of thanksgiving for the boun- ties and protection which divine providence had extended throughout the year. It has come to perhaps the most characteristic of our national observances and as the season ap- breaches for it's annual recurrence, it Is fitting formally to direct attention to this ancient institution of our peo- pie and to call upon them again to unite in its appropriate celebration.
 Many Blessings
 "The year which now approaches its end has been marked, in the ex- perience of our nation. by complex ity of trials and triumphs. of difficult ties and of achievements, which we must regard as our inevitable portion in such an epoch as that through which all mankind is moving. As we survey the experience of the passing tweive-month we shall find that our estate presents very much to justify a nationwide and most sim eere testimony of gratitude for the bounty which has been bestowed upon us. Though we have lived in the shadow of the hard consequences of great conflict our country has been at peace and has been able to con- tribute toward the maintenance and perpetuation of peace in the world.

Questions and Answers


 c. Are you familiar with the Nun son grape I saw growing in Florida, and will 1t do well here? J. H.. Lin- coln.
 A. The Munson Is a good deal like the Concord only 1t don't have any bloom on the fruit. It Is a re- liable sort and an even ripener. but 1t Is doubtful if it Is better suited to this section than the Concord.
 Q. What do you think of the tree blackberry as profitable variety for market? A. N. R. F. D. 6.
 A. The so-called tree blackberry is grown to considerable extent in Florida for commercial purposes and might do well here. but I don't know of anyone who has tried 1t. Early Harvest, Eldorado and Snyder are grown here in Jefferson county and are a success.
 c. I used to gather in the woods a lot of chinquapins. but I never see them any more. Could one plant and cultivate them, and are plants available? c. S., R. F. D. 3,
 A. There is no particular diffi- culty In growing chinquapins. They seem to have disappeared along with most of the native chestnuts a mum ber of years ago Plants are avail able and some are now growing them successfully. It would be neces- sary to spray them like other fruit.
 Q. My deutzias failed to bloom the past spring. What trearmenr would you suggest to make them bloom another season? Miss T.
 A. Treatment would depend on age of the plants. They may need some pruning but the trouble is most likely soil deficiency. Bone meal could be used now as a fer tilizer and about January use some stimulating commercial fertilizer, cultivate and mulch the ground.
 O. Last year I bought a yellow jasmine and It turned out to be a vine. What I want is the shrub that blooms in the early spring. What is the correct name of the plant? Mrs. J. R, North Birming- ham.
 A. There is climbing yellow jas samine known also as yellow trum- pet flower, and this is doubtless what was furnished you. The two best bush forms are Italian yellow Jasmine tjasminum humile) and bush yellow jasmine tnudflorum) The latter is very early to bloom.
 c. have bought the rose of sharon several times but I don't get the one I want. Under what name should it be bought? Mrs. J..
 A. The name rose of sharon is applied to several species of aithea. The one you evidently want is hi- biscus syriacus althea frutex. This Is a dwarf, bushy form. Q.

 Jonquils call to mind our youthful school days and their early spring bloom denotes the passing of winter, the advent of spring and vision of the May day picnic. Adults can live this period of life over If they will plant this month a quantity of these old fashioned, sweet scented flowers. Time changes the taste of dress, but who that has lived in the past can ever forget the arm fuls of jonquils that we used to gather and take to school for the teacher, or more often, our best girl?
 The jonquIls like many other old fashioned flowers, is coming back Into it's own. There are a number of different types to select from; some borne singly on tough wiry stems while others produce their flowers in clusters or scattered on the same stem. Jonquils are tho hardest of the narcissus family, the first to bloom out doors. and as it is their habit, not to bloom all at once, the blooming period is prolonged. They are easily naturalzed to any locality and after once planted may remain undisturbed for several years without the necessity of taking up and separating to prevent deteriora- ton. Unlike most other bulbs, they are cheap and one can afford to plant by the hundreds.
