KANSAS WOMAN KILLED
IN THIS COUNTY FRIDAY
Car Plunges of 25-fOOt Embark
ment in Peculiar Accident

Mrs. Edith Mallott, "a, wife of NJ.
H. Mallott, Abilene, Kansas, was the
victim in a peculiar motor accident
on the National Highway about 200
yards from the Pennsylvania State
line in Garrett county at 1870 o'clock
Friday morning, Mrs. Mallott sue
cumbing to her injuries about noon in
DR.. Francis Hospital, Confluence, Pa.
Although three cars were involved
in the accident, none collided with any
other and no one was held responsible,
according to Officer w. B. Chappelle,
of the Maryland State police, who in
vestigated the mishap.
According to Chappelle, the acct
dent which resulted in Mrs. Mallott's
death from a fractured skull followed
when the machine driven by Roy n.
Downs, Baltimore, and bound east on
the highway, crashed into a culvert
at Mill Run. In avoiding the disabled
car, Harry A. Price, of Meyersdale,
bound west, overturned in his car but
escaped injury. A wet highway was
given as contributing cause in the
overturning of Prices car.
The fatal accident followed Prices
mishap when the Mallott car, also
bound west, sought to avoid hitting
the two wrecked cars and plunged
over a twenty-five foot embankment.
Mallott suffered a fracture of his ribs
in the drop.
State Officer Thomas Currie contin-
ued the investigation of the case on
Saturday.

CLUB NOTES

The illustrated lecture on iris to be
presented by B. Y. Morrison the eve
ming OF March 21 at the Mayhower
Hotel, before the National Capital
Dahlia and Iris Society, will be an ex-
cellent opportunity for local iris grow
ers and admirers. 1t Is perhaps not too
much to say that there is today in the
United States no greater authority on
iris than Is Mr.. Morrison. For years
he has made a particular study Of this
genus, and in his gardens at Takoma
Park, Md. has a fine collection Of rare
species and leading varieties. He has
bred many fine new varieties which
are recognized throughout the country
as the very best types Of this attractive
flower. Surely no one can afford to
miss this rare chance to learn OF the
latest and most promising developments
In the culture and breeding of the iris.
The National Capital Dahlia and Iris
Society is to be congratulated on offer
ing this treat to local people. Admis-
sion will be free.
The Woodbridge Garden Club met
Monday evening to listen to lecture
by DR.. George M. Darrow OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture on New and
Ornamental Small Fruits" in which 1t
was pointed out that there are many
interesting and deserving but little
known shrubs which combine beauty
and utility Of the berries or fruits.
Among these are the native high-bush

no pruning in the year the canes de-
velop, but at the beginning of the Sec
ond year, the fruiting year, should be
cut back to four or five feet, the height
depending somewhat as to whether the
plants are supported by a wire trellis.
Heading during the first year tends to
force out the side shoots, only, perhaps,
to be injured during the Winter.
Blackberry canes, on the other hand,
should be headed during the first grow
ing season at two to three feet The
succeeding Spring the laterals sce then
cut back to two feet or less in length.
Very few blackberries are cultivated in
this vicinity on account of the profu-
sion Of wild fruit and the throny nature
Of the plant. The Young dewberry Is,
however, a promising trailing variety,
worthy Of planting in home gardens.
This blackberry is very productive and
bears much of its fruit in August after
the natiye fruits are mostly past.
Currants and gooseberries are pruned
In much the same way. Fruit Is borne
on both old and young wood but most
abundantly and in best quantity on the
latter. Hence the older wood should
be gradually removed. Lower branches
which tend to lie on the ground should
be shortened or removed altogether.
For red currantS five to eight main
stems are enough. replacing from year
to year some of the old with young
and thrifty stems. With both the cur
rant and gOoseberries, moderate annual
pruning Is necessary to the production
of good sized fruit.

Pruning Of the monthly Towering
bush roses should include the removal
of weak and Winter injured branches
and the heading in of the remaining
shoots so that the plants stand l8 inches
to two feet in height. Some growers
cut even more severely. but moderation
is advisable as heavy pruning has a
dwarfing effect on the plant anb roots.
Hybrid perpetualS the old-faShioned
roses of the type of Frau Karl Druschki,
require less pruning than the monthly
boomers but also benefit by removal
of spent growth and cutting back of

Climbing roses should properly be
pruned in June following blooming.

The sensible home gardener will not
waste money in buying lot of different
garden tools and appliances simply be-
cause the catalogue says they are neces-
sary. The spading fork. rake and hoe
are implements enough for the small
garden and a sharp saw and pair Of
hand shears enough for pruning the
trees and shrubs.
Snowdrops and crocus are In bloom
in many gardens and. although very
small and humble. are welcome har-
bingers Of Spring. The bulbs of botl,
species are very inexpensive and should
be, utilized more generally.
Parawax, the proprietary substance
made for sealing jellies and preserves,
has proved to be an excellent grating

condition and brushed over the cut sur
