ARLINGTON VOTING
|SREPORTED HEAVY
Early Survey of Seven Larg.
est Precincts Indicates
Close Contest.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

By staff CORRESPONDENT OF The Star.
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE. Va,
November 8-Early voting in Arlington
County was exceptionally heavy, indi-
eating a probable vote Of 5000 of the
approximate total number of qualified
voters of between zoos and 5000.
A survey of seven of the largest pre-
cincts in the county during the morn
ing indicate a fight so close that the
leaders of neither party were showing
any particular enthusiasm as to the
outcome in the county. At each Of these
precincts a question as to the probable
trend was met with the same response,
"it looks close"
The vote in most of the precincts
was expected to reach the halfway
mark by noon. The survey, extending
for an hour during the morning, showed
q total vote in Virginia Highlands pre-
cinct of 227, Arlington, 302; Lyon Park,
230; Clarendon, No. l, $50; Clarendon,
No. 2. 377; Cherrydale, 300, and Ross
lyn, 221.
In the first five Of these precincts
the vote cast was about third OF the
qualified voters and in the two latter
1t had reached a half. The voting at
all Of these precincts was steady after
the early morning rush.
Voters did not appear to be having
the contemplated difficulty with the ex-
tensive Virginia ballot, since they were
spending little time in the booths. They
were permitted to take sample ballots
of both the Republican and Democratic
parties into the booths with them. This
is expected to cut down the number of
votes to be thrown out because Of i'm
proper marking.
In Rosslyn the Democrats had q
sample ballot about IS feet In length
tackled to a telephone pole on the oppo-
site side of the street from the voting
place Soliciting at the polls by workers
for both parties was much in evidence.
w. L. Bragg, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic Committee, and L. c. MacPher-
son, chairman of the Republican Com
mittee, both maintained their belief
that their tickets would prevail, but
neither expressed the belief that their
plurality would exceed 500.

GRASS SEED.

The New Jersey Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, in its bulletin No. rs,
Better Lawns" asserts that one Of the
principal causes of failure with new
lawns is the kind of seed sown. A con-
siderable percentage of lawn grass is
said to be made up largely of temporary
grasses, such as timothy, redtop and
rye grass, all of which germinate
rapidly and make quick show, but
yield coarse, uneven turf, much less
beautiful than that composed of blue
grass, bent grass and white clover.
1t is suggested that the ingredient
seeds may be purchased separately and
mixed at home, but for the average
small lawn it is conceded more practical
to select some well established, reliable
seed house and buy their best grade Of
seed.
Five different formulas for grass seed
are suggested in the bulletin, as follows
/. Kentucky blue grass, so per cent; red
top, Is per cent; South German mixed
bent, 10 per cent, and rye grass, Is per
cent. 2. Same formula except 5 per
cent Of white clover seed replaces per
cent Of the blue grass. 8. Kentucky
blue grass, 40 per cent; South German
mixed bent, 40 per cent, and redtop, 20
per cent. 4. Meadow fescue, 10 per
cent; Poa trivialis 80 per cent red
fescue, 20 per cent; South German
mixed bent, 10 per cent; ,redtop, 10 per
cent; Kentucky blue grass, 20 per cent
5. Redtop, 20 per cent; red fescue, 35
per cent; Rhode Island bent, 10 per
cent; Kentucky blue grass, Is per cent;
rye grass, Is per cent, and white clover,
per cent.
Formulas l and are described as
general purpose with use of white
clover optional. Formula is designed
for extremely fine turfs, formula 4 for
shaded areas and formula for poor
and sandy soils. It Is suggested that
at least pounds of seed be sown to
each 1000 square feet
There Is no use preparing lawns
when the soil is very dry, as is the case at
present, because the seed cannot germi-
nate properly or, If it does grow, it is
liable to be killed by lack of moisture.
Usually September ushers in more
moisture and. when it does, Is the
best month Of the whole year for de-
veloping new lawns.

District National Guard

Oficers Of the National Guard Of the
District Of Columbia also will feel the
pinch of the governmental economy
law, according to general order just
published to the command and con-
tanning information received from the
chief of the Militia Bureau. 1t has
been ruled that National Guard Of
flcers on armory drill pay or field train
ing status, and Reserve officers on
active duty for less than two months,
are considered as coming under the
provisions Of the law which does not
permit of furlough. Therefore, all Of
ficers paid at the rate Of more than
81 900 per annum will find their armory
drill and training camp pay checks
cut l-3 per cent.
The order also calls attention of the
personnel to the provisions of the sec
ton which suspends all automatic in
creases in compensation by reason of
length of service or promotion during
the fiscal year 1888, but points out
that this section does not deprive any
person of such increase received prior
to July }, 1882. This section does not
affect enlisted men. The following
illustrations are furnished:
Second Lieut.. John Doe was COM
missioned June 20, 1929-entitled to
longevity pay for more than three
years service.
Maj. William Smith was commits
stoned July 2, 1926-more than six
years service. This officer will not be
entitled to longevity pay for more than
six years service, but will be entitled
to longevity pay for more than three
years service, this being the amount
Of longevity pay to which he was en-
titled on June 80, 1882
The order also points out that the
rental allowances for officers have been
reduced 10 per cent and the subsistence
allowance for enlisted men from go to
So cents ration.
Orders have been issued by Brigade
headquarters fixing the strength of en-
listed personnel of the l2lst Regiment

HEDGES.

Privet, box and barberry hedges are
accepted as standard. Yet there are
plenty of other plant materials that
may be used for the same purpose
Frank A. Waugh, in bulletin from the
Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment
Station, entitled Experiments With
Hedges" describes some 40-odd species,
including such beautiful species as the
winged euonymus, japanese ounce, ny
drangea arborescens,, Carolina hemlock
and Norway spruce. The bulletin also
contains useful information regarding
the care of hedges. how to plant, shape,
prune. etc. Prof. Waugh suggests that
pruning must begin early. that is. II
the young plants grow strongly, they
should be headed back in May OF the
first year and by all means headed at
the beginning of the second season. The
purpose Of such pruning is to induce a
thick growth at the base. This heading
back must be carried on through the
formative period of the hedge, if one
wishes a dense, substantial growth. After
the hedge has reached the desired height
pruning is designed simply to keep II
within bounds. Summer pruning tends
to dwarf the hedge and hence, If there
is any drastic cutting to be done. the
dormant season is better. When the
OeQBe DeRlIlS 10 SilUW SlSlS VI Ah4lAl6
severe cutting in February, followed by
spading and fertilizing OF the soil is sug-
gested as means of restoration.
The shape of the hedge Is factor
In its welfare. Thin, tall hedges do not
prosper as we'll as broader ones, whose
sides branches contribute to its up
keep. Prof. Waugh suggests that the
wide hedge will remain vigorous and
will be more efficient in shutting out
cold winds from the garden.
In this locality one sometimes sees
the Rose of Sharon used as a hedge
and a very handsome border, indeed, II
pruned only in early Spring so that the
young growth can come into bloom.
However, If one wants protection, it is
hard to equal the japanese barberry,
which, with thick growth and thorns,
offers an impenetrable barrier.
