POLYGAMY AND VEIL
 STILL IN TURKESTAN

Samarkand, Uzbekistan Soviet Republic, -Mustapha Kennel Pa sha's sweeping ban on polygamy, the veil. the fez and religion, has not extended to other Mohamme- dan countries.
 For instance. here in Turkestan, where 90 per cent of the 6,0O0,O inhabitants are Moslems, all the time-honored customs of the fol- lowers of Mohammed are still ob- served. Multiple wives are still the rule. although hard times are fore ing many native men to reduce the number of spouses allowed them by the Koran from four to two, and in some cases of poverty are reduced even to one.
 But the veil, fez and mantle still persist. No devout Usbekistan or Tadjik would "profane" himself by removing this emblem of his faith nor would any Moslem wo- man degrade herself in the eyes Of her race by exposing her fea- lures. By the natives Mustaphs Kennel is looked upon az worse than an infidel for repudiating. the command of the Prophet. All the. thousands of mosques in Turke- stan are running full blast.

Without remedial treatment, complete
ly girdled trees are destined to quickly
perish, usually surviving long enough
to put forth blossoms and small leaves.
Fortunately 1t is within the ability of
any person fairly handy with tools TO
save trees injured in this manner.
The process is known as bridge graft
Ing and is in truth simply the bridg-
ing of the gtrdled area by means of
several young shoots cut slightly
longer than the wound and beveled at
each end SO that they may be slipped
beneath the trimmed edges OF the
bark above and below the wound The
cions are then made fast with small
brads and the cut surfaces coated
with grating wax The whole proce-
dure Is admirably discussed in Farm
ers' Bulletin No. 1869, obtainable from
the United States Department of Ag
riculture.
AS the repair work must be done
while both the cions used for bridging
and the tree itself are dormant, those
who are unfortunate enough to have
trees which have suffered such in
Juries this Winter must take i'm
mediate action. Quite large trees can
be saved by this simple but effective
operation.

Timely Suggestions

Those who are planning the con-
struction of hotbed this Spring
should be making inquiries as to
sources Of fresh "strawy" horse
manure. In the days of driving
horses it was an easy matter to Sc
cure this necessary constituent of the
hotbed, but now 1t is rather difficult
Yet for large home garden the hot
bed is quite essential to early produc-
ton and for raising various tender
plants.
The order for seeds and fertilizer
should be getting under way, as it will
not be long now before some of the
slow-growing vegetables and flowers
may be shown in boxes Of soil kept in
doors.
Parsnips and satisfy left in the
ground last Autumn will be found in
excellent condition for table use. In
fact, these crops should be used before
new growth starts in Spring, as at
that time the stored sugars turn to
less palatable combinations.
The spraying apparatus should be
examined to see if it is in condition.
Remember that trees or shrubs in

PLANS THE GARDEN.

A little foresight and thought about
the arrangement of the garden pre-
vious to the time of actual planting
will make the work of taking care of
the garden easier and also increase
the possible production. Generally
Spea king, it is far better to plant
vegetables in rows rather than in
beds. The rows allow the use Of wheel
hoes or other tools and save much OF
the hand wedding required by solid
beds. Species such as rhubarb and
asparagus, which live year after year
should be planted at one side so a
to interfere as little as possible with
annual blowing operations.
The rows should hes traight and eX-
tend from one end Of the garden to the
other so that the cultivator may BE-
run straight through without shifting
from row to row. Radishes, lettuce,
beets, onions and similar small-si2eC
plants which may be grown in rather
close rows should be grouped together
followed by bush beans. cabbages.
cauliflowers, egg plants, Summer
squash and the like, and finally the
tall. space-requiring kinds, such as
sweet corn, tomatoes Ton stakesl an6
pole beans. 1t is a mistake to at
tempt to grow low plants among the
tall. as the latter will monopolize the
sunlight, soil food and moisture.
Many plants, such as radish, let
tuce. early beets, early beans, require
only part of the season to grow
hence the plan should include other
kinds to follow so that full production
and succession of desirable vegetables
may result.
The amount of each vegetable de
ponds so much upon the size of the
family and it's preferences that it f.
quite out of the question to suggest
the proportions of each. But in the
small garden 1t is well to leave GU
coarse-growing plants. such as swee
corn, cabbages and potatoes, and give
the space to lettuce, radiSheS, bush

the soil. Any waste plant material,
such as rotted leaves, will aid In soil
improvement. Nothing quite takes
the place of manures in the garden,
but much can be done by saving vegc-
table refuse and the growing of soiling
crops.

WINTER SPRAYING.

Something has already been said in
this column about the necessity of
spraying fruit trees and ornamental
shrubs during the Winter or dormant
season. AS a general thing, one such
spraying is enough. But If San Jose
or other scale insects are present, two
sprays are much better, the first now
and the second as the leaf buds begin
to show green. San Jose scale ap-
pears to the unframed eye as a gray,
ashy scurf on the branches and twigs.
Infested plants are usually disin-
guished by a general unthrifty APP
pearance, especially evident In the
growing season. The scurf consists
of waxy scales that may be quite
easily rubbed off the bark with the
thumb nail. This insect is very abun-
dant in this vicinity and is often found
on apples, pears, cherries, plums, cur

rants, Japanese ounce, lilac and
many other shrubs. Without spray
ing, infested trees and plants are prac-
tically. If not absolutely, doomed to
early death. Two remedies are avail
able, lime sulphur and miscible oils.
OF the two lime sulphur is older and
better known and consequently safer
material for the home gardener. The
concentrated spray in liquid or in
powdered form is on sale in local seed
and hardware stores at a moderate
cost. Directions for diluting are or
the package and should be consistently
followed.
The day selected for spraying should
be above freezing. For large trees it
will be necessary to have a spraying
outfit consisting of container, pump.
hose, MOBILES and rod. For a few
shrubs and small trees smaller out
fits are satisfactory. The Importance
of the Winter spray is indicated in the
fact that irrespective of scale insects,
commercial growers annually apply
such sprays to fruit trees. Perhaps,
too, you may have noticed that each
year the ornamental cherries about
the Tidal Basin receive their annual
early Spring bath of lime sulphur.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-02-05

Many pests are thus controlled; the
eggs of small insects are destroyed
as are the spores OF various leaf and
fruit diseases. For instance, in the
case of the peach, the dreaded leaf
curl is best controlled by the late
Winter spray of lime sulphur.
Years ago before many of the worst
pests had reached our shores or ma
tive forms had increased, good fruit
was grown without spraying. This
day is now long past and without such
care no one can expect to raise sound,
attractive fruit. The Winter spray
of lime sulphur is one of the most
important in the schedule of protec-
ton and should not be neglected.
