Tolerance Is
the Most
Rewarding Of
All Qualities

The most lovable and livable
quality that any human being can
possess is tolerance.
Tolerance is the vision that enables
us to see things from another per-
sons point of view. 1t is generosity
that comedies to others the right to
their own opinions and their own
peculiarities. 1t is the bigness that
enables US to want those we love to
be happy in their own way instead
of our way.
Tolerance is oil upon the troubled
waters Ct life. 1t is the lubricant that
makes the wheels of the domestic
machinery run without a jar or a
jolt. and it is intolerance that has
crucified, and prosecuted, and sent
martyrs to the stake, and desolated
the world with bloody wars; that
alienates friends, and wrecks homes.
and breaks hearts.

1.-THE GREEN LOUSE"


 There is an epidemic not only in Birmingham but throughout the state of the green aphis or louse. It is mostly confined to roses, and if noth- ing is done there won't be any roses this spring. We are besieged with questions every day regarding this past, which is not hard to control, but the main factor is prompt treat ment. There are several remedies indicated in this trouble. But to- bacco or nicotine in some form IS really the determining factGr. A liquid spray is very effective and may be made after the following formulas Prepare a strong soapy liquid or soap suds, and to each gall lon add one teaspoonful of tobacco extract or nicotine sulphate, spray the plants thoroughly and repeat al day intervals If 1t would seem tC be necessary. There are powder sprays on the market, such as 10 dust and nicotine dust, which will answer the same purpose. The inn portant thing Is prompt treatment when the lice or bugs make their ap- pearance. Everyone should be equipped with either suitable liquid spray or a dust gun with which to make the application. The cost of the gun is small and is generally compensated for through saving of material.
 It should be understood that this green louse on roses is sucking insect and that the ordinary insecti- eide used for leaf eating insects would not avail. Sucking insects must be killed by a contact poison. and the ordinary insecticides used for certain leaf eating incest would not serve the purpose. There are times when arsenicals might be used to an advantage in connection with contact poisons, but this can only be recommended as an economical meas ure when all the facts are known. In the matter of green lice on plants where the tobacco extract or nicotine is not available, we recommend the use of strong soap suds alone, which does more or less control most all of the louse family.

known. As a general thing the yell low varieties are the earliest, but this is not conclusive. More infor- nation is needed to be specific in the answer.
 Q. Will the tomato plants shipped in here from the south that look wilted and dead survive and make a satisfactory growth? J. M., R. F. D. No. 6.
 A. The tomato plants shipped into Birmingham from south Alabama. Florida and Georgia that are wilted and appear to be dead are the very best plants obtainable. Because they are wilted or the foliage may be brown is nc indication that they are worthless; as matter of fact, they are ten times better than the fresh looking plants generally offered in boxes or rather growing in boxes that are just out of green houses, and while these are really pretty they are not generally worth taking home. We advise everyone to plant only outdoor grown plants, and while they may look wilted or disabled they are the only ones worth considering.
 Q. How do you get start of the fan palm known as Latania. Can we secure seed and grow it our selves or should we buy plant? Mrs. N, Gadsden, Ala
 A. It would be toe difficult to un- dertake to grow this plant from seed and we could only recommend the purchase of the plant. It's care and treatment would depend on so many different growing conditions that a more specific question would be nec- essary to enable us to determine the correct answer.
 O. Is 1t too late to plant Bermuda grass, and do you think it necessary to plant any other grass with it? have never been able to get these seed up and write to know what treatment is necessary to get the seed to vegetate. J. B., Vivian, Ala.
 A. Bermuda grass seed is obtain able of high vitality, but the main factCr in getting 1t to grow Is the proper seeding or treatment. The seed wil! generally grow here even thrown on the bare hard ground, and when sown on we'll prepared loose ground 1t Is really necessary to pack the ground In order to secure close contact with the soil. which is. after all. the main factor in securing ger imitation. A nurse crtp, such as the sowing of rye grass, Is desirable in. securing a stand.
 O.. Nearly all of our plants and par ticularly roses are covered with a small green bug or louse, and we would like to know the best thing to use to rid us of this pest? Mrs. L. w., Woodlawn. Ala.
 A. The trouble which you inquire about the green aphis, CT plant louse, is epidemic throughout the city, and while 1t attacks roses more 50 than

purposes and can we use seed or must we have plants? Mrs. S.
 A. My own personal preference is in favor of the single because they bloom longer flower more freely and are not so badly subject to blight. You cannot depend on seed when it comes to double sorts because only a small percentage come true, while on the other hand, the singles come true to type. Seed are obtainable, also plants. Results expected should be the determining factor.
 c. What do you know about sum mer spinach, what is it known by and when should it be planted? An an swer through Age Herald will be ap- preciated. Mrs. N. C.. Gadsden. Ala.
 A. The spinach you refer to is probably what is known. as New Zea- land an entirely different plant from the ordinary garden variety; yet it is one of the best. The seed may be planted in May or even later.
 O. What is periwinkle? have bought this a number of times, but generally get a different plant every time. Can you give me some light on the subject? J. E.. Eutaw, Ala. A. The name periwinkle is name given in general way to Vinca, of which there are number of types I; is a popular bedding plant and some sorts bloom all summer. Some are | trailing in character and a:e very desirable for window boxes, hanging baskets or for ground cover foI graves.

The blocked silks and intricate
 weaves of the sports fabrics we
 knew seasLn ago have been re-
 placed by simple materials with
 novelty trimming. Now we see
 the frocks for tennis wear with
 embroidered monograms 'on the
 blouses. On the links we encoun-
 ter the new pantalette model of
 tweed. A touch of colorful print
 silk adds the desired spice of nov
 city to the plain frock.
 Sports clothes prove fascinating this season because of their clever touches of trimming. They are fash toned from simple materials, palmer in weave and design than the blocked silks We knew last spring. Yet they lose none of their charm, since the novelties atone for the lack of intri- cate fabric.
 For tennis, one could scarcely se- lect a more appropriate and becom- ing model than the one illustrated in the picture of the large figure. Snugly comfortable is the blouse falling into colorful girdle at the hipline. The long, loose sleeves are banded with braid to match the gir- dle The monogram design Is worked in the fabric To be more effective the former is cut out.
 On the links one requires thes pan talette costume tC be truly comfort able, It Is made of tweed. in a small check design, and fashioned to meet the needs of the athletic girl by showing a blouse beneath, which will stand frequent tubbngs. Silk and wool mixed hosiery are worn with this type of golf suit, and the small straw hat seems designed especially for the occasion.

any other plant 1t does infest some other few plants. While it is a per nicious pest it is not hard to control if prompt measures be, taken. The most practical and economical rem edy Is tobacco in some form, prefer ably nicotine sulphate. The thing to do is to make up a strong soap studs, using any laundry soap that may be convenient, and to each gallon of soap suds mix in one teaspoonful of nicotine and spray the plants thor oughly. One treatment is generally all that is necessary, but if the bugs persist repetition at 10-day inter- vals will rid your premises of this pest.
 Q. I would like a collection of double petunias. Can I get a start of these from seed? Mrs. D.. Flor ence, Ala.
 A. It is possible but this late in the season it would doubtless be best to secure plants.
 Q. Does the old fashioned speckIe pea meet with ready sale on the Birmingham market when offered green in the hull? J. Y., Jasper, Ala.
 A. Yes, there is always a ready sale and they usually bring as much as any other. It Is an early sort, can be produced quickly and become u.
 Q. Could I get geraniums to bloom from seed planted this late ? Mrs. D. M.
 A. They would. of course, bloom in time but if you expect blooming plants this summer, plants only should be purchased.
 O, In Texas we grew a quantity of milo but no one here seems to know anything of it. Would not this forage plant succeed here? G. T., Albany, Ala.
 A. It certainly would. Milo maize will grow any place where corn or sorghum succeeds.
 Q. Is 1t too late to plant out dahlia roots? S. U.. Bessemer. Ala.
 A. No. It is just getting time to plant. In fact 1t Is early to put them out. The middle of May until June is the proper time to put out
 o. How deep should Johnson grass be covered and how many seed do you recommend to the acre? D. S.. Altoona, Ala. A. The best covering is a light harrow and then roll or use a heavy drag. It is important to pack the ground. The quantity of sed neces- sary for an acre would depend on quality. At least 25 to 40 pounds of { redeemed seed should be broad casted to the acre.
 O. What Is a good thing to use in dusting cantaloupes to keep the bugs down? R. J., Brierfield. Ala. A. There are number of pests that bother cantaloupes and require different treatment but several rem edies will serve good purpose and generally will take care of all troubles. Nicotine dust or prepar- ation known. as 40" duseWill serve the purpose.
 0. What are the best varieties of geraniums to set out? R. A., Lin- coin, Ala.
 A. This Is a matter governed by personal preference. Assorted colors are generally more acceptable. Order
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-29

plants by color, such as red, pink, salmon pink, etc.
 c. Which is the best verbena to plants now of the dark red? Mrs. H. w., Blocton, Ala.
 A. If you want red, the Scarlet Defiance is one of the best. Plants are available and may be obtained at seed stores.
 Q. My roses are literally covered with little green louse or~bug. They are around the buds. What on earth can I do to get rid of them? M. B.,
 Route z.
 A. There are a number of rem edies. If you have a sprayer, make up a gallon of soap suds,s using any ordinary laundry Soap and then stir in teaspoonful of nictoine sulphate and spray thoroughly. There are dust sprays. such as nicotine dust plant out in beds? Can one buy and 40" dust that are very effec- tive.
 3. What varieties of asparagus roots do you advise me to put out now? We are making our bed now and would like variety that will produce next year the largest stalks. A. E., Decatur, Ala.
 A. The variety doesn't make much difference. The main factor Is the 1 quality of the roots planted. Any sorts. such as Colossal, Pal lmetto, Ar
  prove satisfactory. If two year old roots be put out they will afford as l paragus next season. | Q. Will the red kidney bean suc- ceed in this section? I used to grow them in the west and would like to | try to grow them as a commercial venture in Alabama if you could rec ommend it. T. B.. Calera. Ala. A. If you have the experience that | is really necessary in growing com mercial beans. there Is no reason why you could not succeed in this climate in growing dry beans. Weather conditions is the main fac tor in determining when to plant so as to bring them to maturity at a period when the probable rainfall is likely to be at its lowest. O.. We want lot of ageratum for the seed and secure plants to reset that would bloom this season or | would you use plants? N. A., Tus- caloosa, Ala.
 A. You could get ageratum to bloom from seed planted this late and the seed could be sown now in beds and the plants transplanted as plants which are available from seed stores or green houses and this might better serve your purpose. Q. We want the wax pole bean but have been unable to secure. What variety should we order to get the best possible sort? T. T., Montevallo, Ala.
 A. Any of the pole wax beans are good. in fact all of them. but the sort known as Golden Cluster wax Is available and one of the best
 Q. I want to plant the bush lima, not the small one. but the large round sort. Can you tell me through The Age Herald what should have S. L., Tuscaloosa. Ala.
 A. You probably want what is known as Fordhook bush lima as your description fits this sort.
 Q. Do you recommend the single or double petunias for window boxes? Which Is best for bedding

"ABOUT PLANTS"
BY GEORGE B. M' VAY, s.

"ABOUT PLANTS"
 There is an amazing ignorance re- garding the setting out of plants. If one wants to set out sweet potato plants they generally want them a few minutes after pulled off the bed, and refuse to buy them from dealers when the plants are wilted, when. as matter of fact, well grown plants, even though they are wilted, are ac- tually better and live more success fully after being wilted Florida, South Alabama and Georgia grow CTS of sweet potatoes make a prac- tice of pulling plants. placing them in the shade of tree for about a day. so the plants become thoroughly wilted. and then reset. They pursue the same practice in setting out pep per. egg plant and tomato for the simple reason that they know that it :s net good practice to set out plants too full of moisture. When wilsed plants are set out properly and watered the percentage of loss from death is greatly reduced. This may sound paradoxical. yet it is the plain truth.
 The main factor in determining the value of any live plant to be reset is the roots of it.. The top really has nc thing to do with the proposition, because if there is a good root sys- tenn there will come a satisfactory growth notwithstanding the appear ance or condition of the top growth. After all, 1t is the roots that you should depend on and not Cn pretty green top. It is a strange thing that people will buy a vegetable plant be- cause the tops look pretty when such plant may be out of a green house and really not worth taking home. But they will choose such a plant in comparison with hardy outdoor or field grown one because the foliage There is no use to argue with such better, and are unwilling to accer& expert opinion as to what they should do.
 Q. In putting cut tomato plants do you remove any of the foliage or not, and does it hurt to do so? l.. A. s.. Jasper, Ala.
 A. It is really not necessary to re- move any foliage in setting out to- mato plants. and it is probably bet ter to let 1t die out naturally, which it generally does. There could be no objection, however, to removing any surplus foliage at this time of the year, and there may be advantages at times when it could be done to profit.
 Q. Which is the earliest the white or the golden dent seed corn? Mrs. N. B., Alexander City.
 A. There are so many different types of golden Dent and white Dent seed corn that nc conclusion could be arrived at unless the type were

STORING YOUR WINTER FrrRs

There are still many women who prefer to pack away their furs themselves rather than send them to the furriers for storage. And there is no reason why they cannot suc- cessfully do this.
 It is very important that the ar ticle is thoroughly freed from dust and any possible ova. therefore be- fore putting away furs they should Dc carefully brushed against the nap, then beaten with rattan and with comb the hairs again put in place. This work should be done out of doors and the article imme- diately packed away.
 If put in a cedar chest no other precautions are necessary. If packed in trunk gum camphor or any preferred repellent may be used.
 Do not wrap furs in white tissue paper. II is said the alum in the paper will injure the fur.
 Furs must be kept in dark places free from dust. It is advisable to have them handy for bi-monthly inspection. Upon these occasions they should be turned inside out and beaten on the wrong side. This will prevent the hairs flattening down and becoming oily.

IN NEW YORK SHOPS

With the return of the suit there is also a revival of navy blue. which is not surprising, as somehow the suit and the color of navy are as- sociated in the minds of the average woman Favor for this color IS expanding and by fall we shall pro bably see navy blue established as a leading fashionable shade. It looks that way judging by the garments and hats now seen in the shops.
 Home dressmakers will find coun- ters piled with crepes and ratines for summer wear but IS far as vogue is concerned it is case of 5O-50. Buyers assert that both these fabrics will be just as fashionable next spring as they are now, so either seems safe purchase as far as that consideration is concerned.
 Those who followed fashions at Palm Beach and the Continental re- sorts are not surprised to see white in such profusion among the advance displays in the shops now.

gas exclusively for that purpose
The use of gas for auxiliary heat
ing apparatus here is quite common
as everybody knows. Every winter
cold snap causes a big increase in gas
consumption.
Our belief is that the average five
room bungalow can be heated in the
dead of winter with about 10000 feet
of gas month. This, under the new
tariff, would cost $3.50. The cost
of heating a larger or smaller house
would be in proportion.
eve do not anticipate that gas will
ever supplant coal for household heat
ing because of its cheapness, but it
will prove more convenient and we
hope to build up large market for
our gas on that account.
sIn southern cities gas is used very
largely for house heating, and in
Portland, Ore, the local gas company
has made considerable progress in
popularizing it for that USE"
