GARDEN AND ii
SUGGESTIONS
BY Purley l.. Keene
g n State College

Cultivation of the Garden Flowers
and Vegetables is especially important
now. Keeping down weeds is only one
result. The moisture of the soil is
also conserved by frequent tiilage. Do
not allow a crust to form, but cult
yate the soil as soon after a rain as
possible. Cultivation is just as i'm
portant when there are no weeds as
it is when they are present, and just
as important during dry time as dur
ing rainy periods.
Pruning Shrubs is best done at this
time of the year, just after they are
lowered. The bushes should be shap-
ed up by the cutting out OF a portion
of the oldest canes and heading back
the new growth. All spring Towering
shrubs, which do not bear ornamental
fruits in the fall, should be pruned
now. In many cases the seed pods are
unsightly and should be removed.
Lawn Moving is a favorite pastime
now. IL should meal more, however,
than just pushing a lawnmower. n
grass should not be cut too close. Set
the roller so that the grass will be LETT
at least w inches in height. FIRE.
auent high clipping is much better for
the lawn than infrequent close now
ings. The adage giving the lawn a
haircut" is appropriate, but do not
give il a shave. 1t is a mistake to
let the grass go to seed. Neither
should the clipped grass be raked up.
Thinning Plants-Garden vegetables
and flowers should not be allowed to
grow too thickly. Many garden roots
crops as beets, carrots, parsnips and
rutabagas give better results IL thin
ned from two to three inches apart.
Leaf crops. such as lettuce, spinach,
parsley, cabbage and kohlrabi, are fire.
uuently allowed to grow too close to-
gether for their proper development.
The same holds true for flowers which
should be from six to twelve inches
apart.
Sucker Growth in the small patch
should be checked or 1t will over run
the entire patch. Confine the growth
of red raspberries to the rows hs fre-
auent cultivation and hoeing between
rows. Lilacs will overrun the shrub
berry border or lawn IL not kept In
check. These sucker growths may be
used to start new plants.

C0rding for Dress Trlmming-This
Is a form of trimming for putting de-
signs on silk dresses with rope silk
or slip stitching 1t On; for making belt
or sash by braiding three cords and
using tassel or ball 70 finish the ends (;
to make loop buttonholes. The me-
thod for making cording is given by
Azalea Linfield, extension specialist
in clothing:
a. "Cut bias strip desired length
and as wide as type of your material
requires for padding. Try a small
piece following the directions before
cutting a quantity OF bias. b.. Fold
bias through center. C. Stitch from
the fold the desired size of the casing
of your cord. This stitching produces
a tuck. The material part of this
tuck is to be used for the padding of
Is small enough to pass through the
casing. Secure it at n end OF the
casing wrong side out. This draws
the material through the tuck turning
1t inside out and acting as padding.
III the tuck is too narrow to use a
safety pin as bobin, catch n end
with a stout thread, run the threaded
needle blunt end forward through the
tuck. Pull on the end of the thread
and the tuck will turn inside out"
Cleaning Reed Furniture-Keeping
reed Or wicker furniture clean is a
problem in itself. Before freshing
the pieces with paint on varnish, they
should be cleaned with this solution:
Into one gallon of warm water shave
three ounce of pure CASTLE soap, add
one ounce of any bland oil, such as
corn, olive or c~ottonseed, When the
SOAP is dissolved, apply to furniture
with stiff brush and pour the rest OF
solution in jars for future use. After
cleaning, a small amount of furniture
polish may be rubbed over the surface
to remove the oily film of the cleaning
solution.

There have already been over 1000
