earliest planted beans are few inches

After feeding for short time the
females lay small yellow eggs In masses,
attaching them ON the under sides OF
the bean leaves. From these eggs in
about 10 days the destructive larvae
hatch. They require about three weeks
to complete their growth. After reach
ing maturity they attach themselves to
the leaves of the bean plant or nearby
weeds or other garden plants and
change TO the resting or pupa stage.

One often sees young orange and
grapefruit trees coming up in the gar

young date palms sprouting in great
numbers were distinct novelty: In
fact. so much so that they were con-
sidered a new type of weed until in
advertently some of the date seeds, or
stones as they arc commonly known
came up with the roots.
The perennial phlox Is certainly a
wonderful Summer flower. Beginning
with the admirable white variety. Miss
Lingard, the gardener may have sue
cession of bloom until October. There
is wonderful variety of colors in the
phlox, but to keep the colors true one
must separate the clumpS rather than
rely on seedlings. The seedlings may
be almost any color except that of the
parent and more often than not in
ferior to the parent. The phlox has
wonderful adaptability to soil and clim-
ate but responds to good care.

that when planting time arrives in Sep

much one enjoyed the early flowers of
the past Spring and make room for q
few new varieties at least.
One of the recent interesting de-
velopments in horticulture Is the dis
covery that the fruits of the Japanese

ounce have distinct value as a source
of n1alic acid In fruit preserving. At
the horticultural Field Station at
Glendale, Md, Dr. barrow has de-
veloped some new varieties that bear
fruits comparable in size to ordinary
apples and are at the same time pro-
ductive. Hitherto the Japanese ounce
has been considered of value only as
an ornamental, but may now enter the
class of useful fruits.
The heliotrope beds In the foreground
of the main Agricultural Building are
just reaching perfection and are we'll
worthy of visit. The remarkably
large trusscs of bloom speak we'll for
the variety grown and for the garden

shrub Abelia grandihora, with its at
tractive pale pink blooms and reddish

He told the New England conference of women's clubs here that "of you deplore the conditions in Russia today, remem- Der that every bit of corruption in public life is contribution to that same socialism.
 There are abuses in public life which make for the growth Of so- cialism," he continued, "and when these are carried to certain point they kindle fires which cannot be checked. Politics are 50 rotten to- day that unless changed the growth of socialism will be astounding.
 He added that he had great faith in the contribution which the women of New England could make to the nation in raising the standard of politics
 Then he touched upon the present political campaign. Candidates for public office have no right to drag racial and religious prejudice into a campaign" he said "A can- didate must have a mighty low Ideal, and a low conception of the minds and the ideals of the people who will resort to these things. It is a grave mistake not to have idealR away above party, creed or race"
 Governor Fuller lauded the Kel- logg anti-war treaty and eulogized former President Wilson who. he said, was stoned out of public life because he believed in something which now they who stoned him advocate"
