GARDEN AND ORCHARD
SUGGESTIONS
By Purley L. Keene,
S. ID. State College.

Landscape Gardening-Study your
grounds for new effects in landscape
gardening. The foundation planting
about the house should be governed
by the size and height of the house
itself. 1t rs usually best nct to use
shrubs owe four or five feet in height
here. The taller hrubs. as ~honeysuck-
les. lilacs. Viburnums. mock orange,
Caraganga, and others, may be used as
background shrubs to screen insight
ly views or buildings, and for the
center of groups. Smaller ones may
be located in front and around the
larger oncs for producing "a solid
shrubbery effect. Sod should not be
allowed to encroach upon the shrub
areas OF to grow among them. How
ever, q narrow border of sod main
tanned between the sidewalk and the
shrubbGry groups Dives a pleasing
effect.
Dent Clutter Up Lawn-Be careful
not to clutter up the lawn with speci-
men plants, bushes, round flower beds
or iron dogs, rabbits, etc. The ex-
panse Of the lawn is apparently in
creased and the beauty of the place
enhanced by leaving the entire space,
for lawn, where games may be played
and the children may romp.
Have A Flower Garden-We should
not forget the flowers. There are
many ANNALS which produce flowers
I'm great abundance at very little ex-
pense. Why not prepare a bed or two
in tho edge OF the garden or at the
rear of the house? Dahlia, Gamma and
gladiolus may be planted soon now
without a great deal of danger. Beds
for the tender perennials or annual
flowers should be well enriched with
dccomposed barnyard manure which
should be thoroughly mixed with the
sell before planting. Perennials, as
the peony, phlox, iris. golden glow and
others need dividing and resetting ev-
cry three to five years for the best
development. This can be readily
done just Is growth begins in the
spring. This is a convenient time to
apply decompesed barnyard fertilizer
which may be spaded into the soil.
At Is wise not to cover the crowns with
more than an inch or two of soil.
The Vegetable Garden-How are the
vegetable plants coming? Do not al
low the tomatoes and other plants

POTATO MAXIMS

Potato Improvement will he brought
about by observing the following ma
Xtms worked out by practical potato
growers and Experiment Stations.
/. Rotate potatoes with other crops,
growing potatoes on the same ground
not Cstener than once in four years.
?. Legume crops help the soil for
potatoes.
3. Treat all seed with Bichloride of
Mercury CORROSIVE Sublimate) or
Formalin, "a 40 per cent solution of
FOrmaldelhyde gas). Bichlcride of
Mercury is preferred by many as it
pcnetrates better and is more apt to
kill BLACK Scruf" as well as Scab.
4. Plant seed free from disease.
Discard all seed that is not clean.
5. Plant liberal sized seed pieces
weighing from 1 Ia to 2 ounces. Bloc
ky seed pieces are better than wedged
shape, because they do not dry out
rs quickly; furnish more available
plant food; and worb better in the
planter.
6. The best date Of seeding as
shown by a five year experiment is
from May 9Th to 18th. ~
= spray bIoWiI5 UiduIS WIFI DUI-
deaux Mixture to prevent disease and
control insects. Add lead arsenate to
this solution to kill potato bugs.
S. Begin spraying when the plants
are about six inches high, and con-
tinue about every two weegs, depend
ing on weather conditions.
8. Cultivate thoroughly to conserve
moisture and destroy weeds.
10. Dig out and destroy weak hills.
Select the vigorous hills for seed,
marking them with a stake so that
these potatoes can be saved for seed
when digging time GENES.
IL. Planting in AZ inch rows with
Is inch spacing in the row will prob
ably give the most satisfactory results
in fields cultivated by regular corn
cultivators. This will save from twel-
We to fifteen bushels per acre using
pieces ranging in weight from l IA
to 2 ounces
II. Plant potatoes from three to
six inches deep, depending on the type
of soil and whether or not the ridge
method of cultivation is used.

ed from Federal and State Experiment
Staten bulletins available, at the
County Agents Office.

SOLUTIONS FOR TREATING SEED
POTATOES

: ALL seed potatoes should be treated
for scab and scurf even though the
seed may look clean and to all APP
pearances free from disease.
BichlOride OF Mercury Corrosive SUBJ
limate)
\ This chemical penetrates more than
Formalin and is more apt to destroy
black scurf as we'll as scab.
Dissolve 4 ounces of bichloride of
mercury in 30 gallons of water. Treat
seed tubers fer ~ hours. This solu-
ton can be used four times, but adj
dition of one ounce of bichloride of
mercury to each 80 gallons of solu-
ton after each batch is soaked. keeps
the treating solution at proper
strength.
Bichloride of Mercury is a rank
poison and should be kept where chill

use wooden buckets or barrels in pre-
pairing the solution.

times before 1t becomes ineffective.
Potato Seed Certification
Applications for potato c~ertification
should be made through the County
Agent office. If application for as
many as rs acres are secured in Hand
County the work can be done for S1,50
per acre. The inspection work is done
by DIR. A. T. Evans, Associate Agrono-
mist of the State College. Three in
spections are necessary during the
year. For complete information on

Strand Feature

Every reader of current literature
will recall the sensation caused by
the publication several years ago OF
Winston Churchilps powerful novel,
1.-THE Inside of the, Cup" The story
attacked the alleged hypocrisy of
certain clergymen and men of wealth
identified with churches as vestry-
men. The philosophy of the book
was criticized by churchmen in this
country and in England as an I'M
warranted attack upon religion and
the cloth.
The picture rights having been OBJ
tanned by Cosmopolitan at great ex-
pense, the story was picturized by
Albert Capellani, a famous director,
and the film version will be shown
at the Strand theatre today only.
The essential features of the story,
which is n of great dramatic force,
have been retained while the anti
hypocrisy philosophy of the author
necessarily has been subordinated to
the general theme.
The story deals with the rector of
a fashionable church who turns upon
his wealthy parishioners when he
discovers them parading under a
mask of hypocrisy and invites the
common people to attend his church.
Eldon Parr, a vestryman, unscru-
pulous and tyrannical, a~lienates his
son and daughter and is finally kill
ed by a nan whom he has ruined.
There is a pretty love romance be-
tween the rector and PARIS daugh-
ter which ends happily. The leading
roles are played by William p. Carle-
ton and Edith Hallor.
