truly magnificent when we'll grown
and are destined TO take a more prom

The foliage is more delicate than that
of the Germanica group, more closely
resembling the Siberian iris in this re-

a plane at right angles to the stem,
like the ordinary field daisy. The

WATERING

Although watering the lawn or
garden appears to be a very simple
operation, 1t is one that often Is fault.
lily done. Spraying the soil for a few
minutes may easily do more harm
than good. When dry the soil needs
soaking to a depth of several inches.
A little water near the surface simply
tends to make a hard surface and to
encourage shallow root growth which
naturally is not as efficient in gather
ing food as a deep, penetrating
system. and more liable to suffer
from drought. Let us bear in mind
the western irrigation practices, a
thorough soaking, followed by period
Of no water until the soil shows need
IF water. Market gardeners with over
head irrigation plants allow the water
to run steadily for several hours until
the ground is thoroughly soaked.
Heavy application OF water every
week or 10 days during a dry period
will use no more water than nightly
spraying with the hose and will do a
whole lot more good. Long periods
of dry weather are relatively rare in
this vicinity. but are by no means un.
known. The next time one occurs
try soaking the grass rather than
merely spraying it with water and
note the improvement.

THE LAWN

At this season of the year crab
grass is making its entry into the
lawns, especially those which have been
somewhat neglected. This undesir-
able grass is an annual. propagating
itself by seed. Were it to live the en-
tire season it would be an asset, but
1t dies early in the autumn after seed
ing, leaving bare. ugly spots where
1t has succeeded in killing out the bet
ter grasses.
Obviously one of the logical ways
of defeating this undesirable species
is to keep it cut closely, not allowing
Il to blossom and seed. Some of the
flower stems will be so short or lay
so fiat that elimination by cutting Is
not entirely possible. Another way to
defeat this grass is to keep the lawn
In vigorous, thrifty condition by
fertiliZinE and by sowing in early
April seed of desirable species.
For years it has been recommended
to lime the lawn, but this is now con-
coded to be poor practice, bringing
in various weeds. The department of
.agI iculture has found that cottonseed
meal makes an excellent lawn fer
tili.er and can be applied safely at any
season. Applied at the rate of II
pounds per 1000 square feet in early
Spring and again in Autumn, it should
do much to keep the grass growing
thrifty. A tight sod make the en-
trance of crab grass and other unde.
Sirables more difficult.

THE FRUIT CROP

The unsatisfactory tree fruit crop
In this locality may be directly traced
10 the unfavorable weather at the
time Of blossoming and setting. Ac-
tual freezing was responsible in many
cases, especially in the outlying rural
districts. IN cold, wet weather pollen
does not develop normally and the
many insects such as bees, which car
ry pollen from flower to flower and
from tree to tree. are prevented from
performing their essential function.
Hence the fruit crop is quite a gamble,
but not enough SO to warrant any one
refraining from planting fruit trees.
Grapes, because of their later bloom
ing, did not suffer from blossom in
jury, but were in some cases damaged
by freezing of the young shoots.
Throughout the country as a whole
frosts took a heavy toll of the fruit
so that it is altogether unlikely that
we will have cheap fruit this year.
Strange as it may seem. short crops
do in most cases net the fruit grow
ers greater returns than the glut crop
like that of last year. .....-. ........

GOODNESS and darkness of the night.
Water thoroughly after transplanting
and, if possible, cover the plants with
boxes or papers for a day or two.
This is n favorable time for trans
planting iris-that is, the common
form, known as German iris. The soil
in which the plants are to be set would
be prepared by spading deeply and
Incorporating bone meal or on other
fertilizer. Manure is apt to rot the
iris roots or rhizones, but, on the other
hand, the fine priZe-winning blooms
were never produced on unfertilized
soil.

TIMELY; SUGGESTIONS

All tulips should now be out of the
ground and stored away in a dry,
dark place, such as the shelves of
the vegetable storage room.
Larkspurs and other perennials
which have finished blooming are
rather unsightly and may be cut back
nearly to the ground, In the case of
iarlspur, this often means second
crop OF flowers.
Dahlias are now growing rapidly
and. shouldibe tied frequently to the
stakes lest they be broken down in
storm.
The wood on climbing roses which
has finished blooming should be cut
away, taking care not to injure the
long, new shoots which are to bear

In transplanting vegetable and
flower plants, at this season. it is well
to do the work in the evening, SO that

A decision given by Federal Judge

entered by the Yale Electric corpor-
alton Of Brooklyn and says that the
Yale and Towne Mfg. company of
Stamford, may have a decree for an
injunction to prevent use of the 9TH

trademark.
The concerns have been In litiga-
ton over the trademark since 1928.
In his decision Judge Thomas said
that the name yale" is used on
many lines of goods, the question
in hand was the significance Of the
name in the hardware field. where
the products Of the two companies
have been sold In the same stores,
and advertised In the same journals.
The Yale and Towne company was
in the field long before its Brooklyn
rival had adopted the name. the

Joseph Marcoux. 90 years old. of
| 10 Broad street, was fined $40 by
Judge Morris D. SAKE In police court
this morning for speeding on Hart
ford avenue and Stanley street. He
was arrested by Motorcycle Police
man Alfred Tanguay. who said he
i was going at speed Of from 35 to
As miles an hour. The accused said
( his car would not go faster than 40
miles an hour. He said he was go

| Albert Desaultes was charged with
! nonsupport. He was brought back
from Windsor Vt, yesterday by De-
| tective Sergeant William P. Mcue.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Will

the accused and his wife may get
together and patch up their diff
culties. The case was continued for
a month.
Judge SAKE also continued for a
month the case of Thomas Czapluk
charged with no-support. Mr.. and
Yrs. Czapluk have lived together in
harmony for 20 years, and it is only
recently that they began to quarrel
about family finances. They have
two sons, one Is and the other 16.
Probation Officer E. c. Connolly
testified that both husband and wife
are inclined to be very obstinate and
that this is the cause of much of
their trouble. Mrs. Czapluk has ST.

bands attorney, Monroe S. Gordon,
which is a joint account of husband
and wife.
People who have lived together
over a period of 20 years ought to
be able to bridge over a minor diff
ficulty," commented the judge.
Salvatore J. Nesta was charged
with speeding. When his case was
called it was announced that he was

lawyers QUESTION
right OF justice
Find No Precedent Of HabeaS
Corpus Permission
Washington, Aug. II R-Lawyers

Washington. Aug. II F-Lawyers
studying supreme court precedents
on the Sacco-Vanzetti case expressed
the opinion today that while a JUS
tice of the court might have power
to grant permission for the filing OF
writ Of habeas corpus, none had
exercised that authority in their
recollection.
The renewal practice has been for
the justice to suggest that applica-
ton for such writ be made to the
proper federal district court. A
number Of petitions for permission
to file writs Of habeas corpus have
been docketed in the supreme court
without the lower federal courts
passing upon them, 1t was recalled,
but in such instances when the court
was in recess individual justices Of
the court, upon advice that such a
petition had been filed, went no fur
Their than to grant stay Of execu-
ton until the full court could de-
termine whether it would permit the
filing Of the petition.
1t was pointed out that under the
established practice Of the federal
courts, writs Of habeas corpus were
granted only when the jurisdiction
of the lower courts were challenged.
SO far as known here there has been
no contention that the Massachu-
sets courts were without jurisdic-
ton.
With the issue centering around
alleged prejudice Of the trial judge
and questioning of his rulings the
usual ground review in the supreme
court would have been by writ Of err
ror. The law provides that such
writ must be obtained within three
months after the final decision the
lower courts, which time has expired
in the Sacco and Vanzetti case.
