HOW TO PROTECT
PLANTS FROM COLD
Director Of Observatory Tells
How TO Avoid Frost Damage

Eeadville, Mass. Sept. 21.-Put
damp, warm air jacket on your gar
den plants II you want to protect
them from frost this autumn. That is
the advice of Alexander McAdie, d.
rector of the Blue Hill Observatory,
who speaks as one with authority
on the subject because of his sue
cess in aiding orange growers in Cali
fornia to keep their crops from freez-
Ing.
your grandmother probably loved
flowers and took good care of them, y
said Director McAdie, who also Is
professor of meteorology at Harvard.
..she had the right idea, when the
crisp early fall nights came round, of
protecting the flowers from frost by
wrapping newspapers around them
carefully. pinning the paper SO that
there would be no gaps and wide
open places. In this way her plants
would keep their blossoms until Oc-
tober.
But grandma did not know 1t all;
we think we know little more than
the old lady did. We now wrap the
newspaper around the plant just as
before, but after pinning 1t tightly we
twist another sheet of paper into
something like rope about an inch
thick and pin 1t in place. We then
take Q third sheet and wrap 1t around
Just as was done the first sheet. We
now have an air space about an inch
thick between the two wrappings and
this air jacket prevents loss of heat.
It Is an excellent heat insulator. We
have practically bottled up the inside
hot air around the plant, and If this
Is done about three o'clock In the aft
ernoon it is almost as effective as
keeping a small stove near the plant.
Also we should sprinkle the plant and
the ground with water, sprinkle it
we'll, before we wrap the papers
around 1t.
with most flowers and small fruits
the temperature has to fall four or
FIVE degrees below the freezing point |
and remain there for several hours |
before damage is done. Plants can |
be cooled to a point below freezing |
and yet If gradually warmed up, not /
injured,
$50 water the plants freely, cover |
them tightly. put an air jacket on |
them and after uncoverins the next |
morning sprinkle again with water |
that is rather cold. Don't use hot |
water. And shade the plans from the |
sun for several hours.
"of course for garden truck. larger |
gardens and orchards. where the pro-
lection of the crop is commercial
problem, IL is more practical to cover
with light weight cloth or use or

PICTURES FOOL "JApS'

Baseball Team Think That They
Have Discovered Cause Of Their
Many Defeats.
Toxic, Sept. 21.-The members OF
the Azuba Middle School baseball
team believe they have discovered
why they have been losing their
games lately.
They decided they wanted base
ball uniforms such as are. worn by
American teams. They saw photo
graph of the Cleveland American
team in a magazine and took 1t to a
tailor and told him to make uniforms
for them just like those of the
Indians.
The uniforms were made. Then the
Azubas began to lose. A fan from
America saw the Japanese playing
and asked them why each of them
wore a band of crepe around his left
arm. The Japanese denied they were
in mourning and said they assumed
the black band was part of the uni
form.
1t was learned the photograph of
the Cleveland team was taken while
Its members were in mourning for
batter Chapman who died after being
hit on the head by a ball.

RESERVE BOARD HAS
ONLY LIMITED RIGHT
Supreme Court Holds Par Clear
ance Rules Cannot Be Main
tanned in North Carolina

WASHINGTON, June ,11-The
Federal Reserve Board has only a
limited right to enforce par clear
ance of checks by non-member
banks, the Supreme Court held to-
day in deciding two cases which had
attracted wide attention in banking
circles.
The decision of the federal dis
triot court in Georgia sustaining the
Atlanta Federal bank in its efforts
to secure par clearance of checks
handled by that bank was upheld by
the highest court, which at the same
time upheld as valid a state law of
North Carolina permitting banks to
impose an exchange charge for cash
ing checks.
The effect of the decision is to af-
firm that the Atlanta bank has done
nothing unlawful but to validate also
the contention that congress had inn
posed upon the Federal Reserve
Board no duty to establish universal
par clearance of checks- Since no
such duty was imposed, the court
held that the authority of the board
was limited by the unrestricted
rights of non-member banks to make
a charge. for exchange and the re
stricted right Of members and affil-
lated banks to make a charge there
for to be fixed by the Federal Re
serve Board.

GEORGIA BELLIES READY
FOR FINAL SPRAYING

The government and state lab
oratory at Fort Valley advises
peach orchardist that Georgia
Bellies are now ready for the final
treatment and growers are advis-
ed to spray them Immediately
with four pounds of arsenate of
lead and 32-32-200 self-boiied
lime-sulphur. If dust is used the
80-5-15 formula is recommended
fo rthe last busting. Elbertas
should not receive this final treat
ment until June 20. Hileys should
have been sprayed last week.
The new generation of curcuilos
are now emerging in numbers. from
the soil in peach orchards. The
first emergence occurred on June
z. Egg deposition by these new
beetles will be starting immediate
ly in hileys and Georgia Bellies.
Egg deposition in Elbertas will
start within week or ten days.
Growers are therefore advised to
spray on the dates given above,
and to apply it very thoroughly
as this is the last treatment. Disk
ing for the destruction of curculio
pupae in the soil under peach trees
should be continued frequently.
The recent rains facilitated tire de-
yelopment of the curculio, the con
troll measures must be carefully en-
forced if the insect is to be salts
faetomly controlled this year.
