PLANTING TIME FOR sHRUBBERY

A persistent inquiry to The Age Herald Is when to plant shrubbery. A reasonable answer to the question Is: After we have had killing frost. The seasons vary so much that no fixed rule can be given but in the Birmingham district we have had several frosts, enough perhaps to render most plants dormant and thus create conditions that are most appropriate for setting out shrub bery. The earlier shrubs are set out after conditions are right the better results are generally obtained. In deciduous shrubs or those that shed their foliage in winter, it Is gener- ally best to walt until the plant be- comes defoliated or nearly so. before setting. When 1t comes to evergreens later period should generally be accepted as the proper time, because evergreens, as a rule. do not become dormant as quick as those shrubs that shed their foliage in winter. The main factor in success with set | ting shrubbery is to make the proper excavation and create through the application of good virgin soil, those l living conditions that will insure the 1 living of the plant. The creating of good living conditions when the plant
 is put out is far more important than the time at which the plant Is set | out

bloom once year? Miss M S., Me ridlan, Miss.
 A. Frau Karl Druschki, known as White American Beauty and Snow Queen. is not a monthly bloomer. II does, however, bloom longer than the average annal. It's chief merit is the fact that 1t makes a vigorous, strong plant, prolific of bloom and the color is & real white without any ad- mixture.
 O. have read lot about Hills of Snow hydrangea and desire to try 1t. Can you tell when we should plant? Mrs. w, Troy, Ala.
 A Hills of Snow is a hardy out door grown hydrangea and under proper treatment will last indefinite ly. It blooms from May to Septem- Der in the south and the plant does not become leggy, barren and sprawling like the common hardy chrysanthemums.
 c. am dissatisfied with my col lection of dahlias and desire to change. Could you direct me in this matter as I only want sure bloom CTS? J. L.. Florence, Ala.
 A. More information Is needed. be- calse variety may not be the whole trouble. There are so many good standard sorts that complete list would be too long. If you will indi- cate what colors are wanted, it may be the writer can help.
 c. want to SOW vetch. crimson clover and oats together. What do you think of the combination and how much of each would you recom- mend to the acre? s. A, Sylacauga Alabama.
 A. This combination is all right and 1t should be sown at once. No less than one bushel of oats should be used to the acre and ten to fifteen pounds each of crimson clover and vetch. This combination may be cut for hay, can be pastured or may be turned under in late spring as a green maturing crop.
 plants and grow them for Christmas blooming? Miss F.
 A. It Is doubtful, except, of course, you have a hothouse and then you could not be certain of success. The ucccessfuls growing of begonia is a highly specialized industry and the amateur is not likely to succeed. Q. We have several Otabeite orange plants that are diseased We don t know what the trouble is and what remedy to apply. Can you help us in the matter, and should we use right away? Mrs. W. H.
 A. These plants are subject to so many diseases that we could not tell unless we have sample of diseased foliage, which please supply.
 c. I am trying to get start of rabbits but making small headway. What should I feed them on, as I
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-11-18

think this is the chief troublsf M. H.. Montgomery, Ala.
 A. The standard feed for rabbits is alfalfa hay and oats and the quality should be of the best It Is desirable to give them at intervals some succu- lent raw vegetables, such as cab bage, lettuce, rape or ony other wholesome green stuff. Don't over feed, that is to say. feed should not be left over but removed when the rabbits seem to be satisfied. Over feeding kills many.
 Q. Will pigeons eat cowpeas or what is the best feed for them? Mrs. W. B.. R. F. D., Bessemer, Ala.
 A. Pigeons do not like cowpeas but they can be trained to eat them and such food is unsurpassed. What pigeons do like is English peas. par ticularly Canada field peas. and such other foods as cracked corn, wheat, hemp, etc.
 A. A friend of mine has what she calls the zebra plant that she keeps in the house What Is this and can we buy it? Mrs. T. T.
 A. The zebra plant is known as Sansevient Fey lamica-an evergreen plant, requiring little attention, but little water and the foliage is beAu- tiful, striped, making a handsome plant.
 c. would like to buy few books on standard gardening if I know just what to buy. Could you give me a list that would meet my Seqmre- ments? Mrs. S., Montgomery.
 A. There are no such books pub b- Iished that would apply to the whole United States. There are, of course, many books published on landseap @ gardening, house plants. various garden guides; books on annualss pc rennianls, house plants; complete gar dening, etc. The truth is. however, that most of these books while con taining a lot of valuable information are really worthless to Alabama gar dens. The view of the writer Is gen erally wholly applicable to the north - ern section in which the book is writ ten and often has no application to the south. See letters mailed which may help.

Treble Clef Chorus Sings With Arr
 mistice Chorus

mistice Chorus
 During the war no organization in Birmingham did more approximately than did the Music Study club, and It's record Is indeed one to be proud of; especially does one recall the work of the Treble Clef chorus, which was changed into 8 liberty chorus, singing at the theatres, on the streets, at canteen headquarters, in fact, wherever and whenever 1t was called upon; then that Christ mas of 1913-when 100 of the Music Study club singers joined with the soldiers at Camp Mcclellan and sang with them at that beautiful pageant, the memory of which still fingers in the hearts of those who took part and those who witnessed it. It has always been the privilege and the pleasure of the Treble Clef chorus to enter into all patriotic celebra- tions. and when the call came from Mrs. W. J. Adams, chairman of music for Armistice Day, to join in the big Armistice chorus, 1t was most enthusiastically responded to-at least 40 out of a membership of DO taking part.
 The work of the Treble Clef chorus was particularly noticeable in the 'Hallelujah Chorus" from the Mes siah," their voices blending beautiful ly with the voices of the T. c. l. chorus. This is one of the most beautiful Victory choruses ever writ ten, and each time 1t is heard 1t be- comes even more of an ispiration. The celebration of this Armistice Day goes down in history as the. great est Birmingham has ever had, and no one feature received more praise than the chorus. The names, Com munity Music and Mrs. Adams are synonymous for, you cannot think of one without the other. and it would take more than an ordinary illness to keep Mrs. Adams from fos- tering the cause of community music which Is so dear to her heart.
 Junior Meeting.
 The regular meeting of the Junior Music Study club was held Satur- day, November 17, at Cable Hall, 80 D. m. The subject was. "The Romantic." A most interesting paper was given by Neal Brewer, bringing out the most important facts in the lives of Schubert, Schu- mann and Mende1ssohn, and dwelling upon the marked characteristics of their compositions. The musical numbers were beautifully rendered by Bessie Howell, Joyce Lyons, Har- old Johnson, Edna Earle Smith and Anita Jones. The junior meetings are being we'll attended this winter, and the programs are proving un- usually attractive. The juniors are very glad to have the senior mem

RUSSIAN PLAYERS HEADLINE 3 |J0 J
Former Court Artists Will
 Present Theatre Comique Russo, In Vaudeville

Their drama of world conquest shattered and reduced to a handful of struggling players from the lofty former imperial court during the Czar's regime to roadside beggars under red control, the artists who will appear here in "Theater Comi- que Russo" at Loew's Bijou all of this week, beginning Monday after noon. are at last coming into their own.
 Marcus Loew has brought them out of chaos of red misery and they are now making a tour of his thea and Canada. In this troupe, which will offer the feature headliner of this weeks vaudeville bill, are such stars as Misha visaroff. with Pauline Achmatova. A. Sigaloff, V. Manionoff. B. Lewis, A. Seamon. A. Wright, N. vizarova and o ziceva. with M. Schoolman as musical director.
 Another feature act of this bill will be presented by Al. H. Wilson,
 
 goers, who know him as the natural comedian, and who on this occasion will appear in what he terms "A Conglomeration of Nonsensicalities and Witticisms." Other acts of merit on this vaudeville bill include: Vol gast and Grille In and act of music and thrills; also Mabel Drew, who will perform on her trusty baby grand. and Grace and Eddie Parks, in "A Bungalow of Beauty. Ballass and Bunk"
 "The Eagles Feather" a thrilling Metro picture. full of delightful in- cidents and fine action, based on the famous story of the same name by Katherine Newlin Burt. will be the screen feature attraction at Loew's Bijou during this week. The story appeared some time ago in the Cos mopolitan magazine.
 James Kirkwood and Mary Alden head the cast of we'll known players in "The Eagles Feather" MT. Kirk woods role in this picture is his first since his return recently to Hol- lywood from New York where his acting in the Broadway success. "The Fool" was sensational.
 Others in the cast are Elinor Fair, Lester Cuneo, William Orlamond, John Elliott, Charles McHugh and George Siegmann.

By GEORGE B. MyvAY, SIR.

The Age-Herald Is in receipt of an Inquiry from the French government wanting to know something about the possibilities of Johnson grass as hay plant In the southern part of France, The government requests a sample of five pounds to be sent them by parcel post. The seed have gone forward to Bordeaux and bull letin No. Il written by the writer has been sent containing all the neces- sary details regarding the control of the plant.
 It seems that the French are all ready posted as to the possibilities of the plant becoming a pest, yet they feel quite confident of their ability to control the spread of the plant and make 1t supply deficiency in certain sections where the hay crop is inadequate to take care of the demands of the live stock owner.
 There are men in Alabama who appreciate the value of Johnson, but a great many people who do not ap- preciate the potential value. of the plant execrate 1t from, morning to night. Johnson grass, if kept un- der control and it's not difficult to do, Is one of the souchs most valu- able farm assets. --

VALUE OF ATTRACTIVE FARMS

When you approach many southern farms, you are impressed with the squalid appearance of the premises in general. yet often the owner is well off and amply able to make his place attractive and thus encourage his children to stay at home instead of drifting into the cities.
 As an economical proposition, it would pay the farmer to study up on landscape gardening, make his premises attractive, adding much to the farm sale value and at the same time giving his family some pride in the home. Letting the home and premises go to ruin Is one of the main reasons why both boys and girls leave their country home. It is true. of course, that the business and professional world is largely re- cruited from the country boys, yet not all of the country boys have the initiat tive to make good in the cities and many would stay home and make good and prosperous farmers if the farm was made an attractive place to live. Thousands of southern farms are going to rack and ruin for the want of Improvements that should be looked after by the owner. Neg lect Is the chief source of waste and deteriOratfOn.
