GARDEN ITEMS

"Daffodils," Circular 1872 of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, Is a new con-
tribution from the pen of DR.. David
Grihths, the bulb specialist of the de-
partment, and contains all the iflforma-
ton that the home gardener could pos
sibly need on the culture and forcing
OF this hne Spring flower. One adj
mirable quality possessed by the mar
ciSsus Is that 1t does well in the same
location for several years and may
therefore, be grown with minimum OF
labor as compared with the tulip.
Roses continued In full beauty right
up to the first Of November. thus Civ
ing the home gardner practically six
months of bloom With this record II
is little wonder that the rose is the
most popular of home garden flowers
When mounding the rose plants with
soil 1t is well to include the crepe myr-
tie In this protective plan, especially
young crepe myrtle set out this year
Older plants apparently gain in hardi-
ness. but the young plants are often
killed back to the soil unless protected
This soil may be applied any time now
perhaps the sooner the better.

on an unusual amount of attractive red
hue this season. The barberry has
much to commend 1t Us hedge plant,
namely, dense growth, thorns to deter
animals from breaking through, in
frequent need of pruning, and beauty
at all seasons, green in the Summer,
red in late Autumn, and red again in
Winter from the berries which hang to
the plant until Spring. For those who
like purple foliage, there Is . variation
with purplish green leaves.
The question Of how plants know
when to cease growth In the Autumn
and prepare for Winter by shedding
their leaves and covering their buds
with thick scales may never be answered
1t IS not necessarily q response
to low temperature because many plants
shed their leaves even as early as Sep
tember in normal years. Whether the
plants finally reach condition of am
pie stored reserve foods, with no further
incentive for continued growth, is not
known but one thing is certain, it is q
wonderful provision Of nature to thus
protect her progeny.

feeders and poisoned bait for the under
ground mice are practical, tested means
of control.
Moles present still a different prob
lem, and although their harmfulness lies
chiefly in disfiguring the lawn with their
ugly ridges, they are accused by many
gardeners of feeding on tulips, lilies and
other bulbs. A statement made in
Farmers Bulletin No. 1247, American
Moles," by T. II. Scheffer, would suggest
that moles eat largely If not entirely
animal food, such as earthworms and
grubs. and that the damage to bulbs is
traceable to mice that utilize the mole

been devised for destroying moles A

A Calamity Cry

In recent sermon, New Jersey pastor made a
statement that sounds quite familiar, as follows
"There is lawlessness everywhere. Children no
longer obey their parents is evident that the end of
the age is at hand"
Then the pastor told his congregation that the
words were not original with him, not even utter
ance of the present day They were translated from an
inscription brick found in the ruins of ancient
Assyria dating centuries before the time Of the pa
triarch Abraham.
Records which have been preserved during all
periods of recorded history give evidence Of similar
conditions existing in the world. Sometimes an i'm
provement is noted; again. lawlessness and violence
become more prevalent than ever.
While present day conditions are bad enough, it
seems that the whole they are better than in the
past There is thought given to the relief of suf
ferng, to the betterment of industrial conditions to
mutual hedpfuness and like matters Of benefit to hu
manity than in former times.
Although the world war gave civilization a severe
setback III some respects, we must remember that
war has marked the history of every generation Of
mankind. The same is true of laWlessness oppression
and every other manifestation of immoraty
These will always exist in greater or less degree,

HEIGHT

In flying to height of 43,166 feet,
more than eight miles up in the air,
Lieut.. Apollo Soucek of the y. S.
Navy has set a record which will take
some beating.
Only by the use of compressed
oxygen in a tank, inhaled through a
tube, and an oxygen super-charger to
insure combustion in the engine, was
Lieut. Soucell able to do the stunt at
all. Capt. Hawthorne Gray of the U. S.
Army who rose to AZ, 470 feet in a
balloon three years ago, dice from lack
OF oxygen in the rarehed atmosphere
OF that great height.
An Of the talk about voyaging to
the moon, whether by airplane, rocket
or other device, is Sc much moonshine,
in view Of the inpossibility of carry
ing enough oxygen along, to say
nothing of the intense cold of inter
stellar space, somewhere around 400
degrees below zero!

Cold Germ Is Found

The long-sought germ which causes the common
cold has been found at last according to the claim of
Dr. Pfeiffer of the Maryland University School of Me-
dicne who has been the trail Of the elusive pest for
seven years.
What is still more important, if it proves true is
that he has developed vaccine which destroys the
germ and thus the cold in short order Dr. Pfeif
fers method will be further tested by physicians Of
Johns Hopkins, and the results awaited with in
terest
The Importance Of such discovery can be under
stood by everyone, because few persons are exempt
from the discomfort and often serious consequences
which arise from merely Catching cold" It is esti-
mated that the value Of time lost from work in Amer
can industry account of common colds is not less
than two billion dollars year.
So, if DR.. Pfeiffer has really found a scientific
method of preventing this suffering waste he will
be entitled to high rank among the benefactors of
mankind

1t is not enough to denounce the advertisers who
use the blboards. They would not continue to use
them doubtless, unless they found that it paid them
Ito do So though it very serious question whether
the same amount of money spent in newspaper ad-
vertising would not bring larger results. The adver
tisers pay for the Of blboards but they do not
pay enough or to the right people.
1t is not enough to pay the owner of the land on
which billboard is erected, or less nominal
rent for thespace occupied There are others besides
the land owners concerned The privilege of arrest
ing the attention of everybody who goes along the road
is in the nature of pubic franchise, and should be
recognized and taxed as such.
In France that is exactly the way in which the
billboard evil is kept down to reasonable limits The
French government has adopted sliding scale of
taxes 1t begins with $24 year per square meter for
the smaller boards, up to square meters That fig
ures out about S225 square foot or around $400
year for billboard of the standard '24-sheet SIZE
But the larger sized board in France pay at higher
rate up to SlOO square meter about $40 square
foot for the largest Some Of the bllboards on the
main roads leading out of Paris will have to pay S16,
900 year each for the privilege
That is fair and equitable tax It will keep
down the number of billboards and those which are
permitted will contribute toward the maintenance of
the highways along which they stand New Jersey

"Flying" Hurt Business

Boston had its Rabbits in the early days, as may
be inferred from an order prohibiting flying exh
biton in 1857 because it attracted so much attention
as to take people from their business.
The Boston Gazette of September IL, 1857, car
ried notice saying the "John Childs has flown off
most Of the highest steepes in Old England and does
intend this day. and two days following to fly off Dr.
Cutters church, where he hopes to give satisfaction
to all spectators"
Later the same paper stated that the "flight' was
satisfactory, consisting of sliding down rope slop-
ing from the steeple to point the ground about
|OO feet away. But, the paper added:
AS these performances led many people from
their business John Childs is forbid flying any more
in the town.

or of three years income, if he earns

THE REAPER AND THE
FLOWERS

By Henry WGdsggorth LongfeNozv
There is Reaper, whose name is
Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain At
breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall I have naught that is fair"
saith he;
"Have naught but the bearded grain?
Though the breath of these flowers is
sweet to me,
I will give them all back again"
He gazed at the flowers with fearful
eyes
He kissed their dropping leaves;
1t was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
"My Lord has need of these Aowerets
gay" I
The Reaper said, and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where He was once a child
"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain, /
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all
again
In the fields of light above
Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.
