LAWNS-DO'S AND DON'TS
BY r F BUEs IN THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER

Nature does her grass-seeding in
the autumn, but most people seem to
think that she doesn't know her bus
mess and wait for the spring. In
order to germinate, the seed must be
kept wet for three weeks, and if de-
layed too long in the spring it is
almost impossible to get a good
stand of grass.
Kentucky blue grass alone, sown in
the fall, is ideal, but if you have not
done this, sow the following mixture
as quickly as possible: 70 per cent
Kentucky blue grass, 5 per cent tim
othy, per cent perennial rye and
20 per cent red top.
Rake out all the dead pernicious
grass from last year and sow the
spots well. Divide the lawn into
10-foot strips, then divide the seed
and SOW it first one way and then
the other to obtain an even distribu-
ton. Use only the best of seed. You
can buy seed which weighs 10 pounds
to the bushel and other which runs
25 pounds to the bushel. The an
swer is that one is full of chaff and
the other is all grass seed. Do not
use any mixture containing Canada
blue grass seed or orchard grass.
Do not use manure in any form;
although we'll rotted it still contains
weed seeds and promotes fungus
growth. Once used, its effects are
difficult to overcome and may re-
quire years of effort. Lime has lit
tie place in lawn work in this heal
ity. Weeds love an alkaline soil.
Blue grass thrives on slightly acid
soil.
Leaf mold and other humus free
from weed seeds is the ideal ground
conditioner and should be applied
generously. Under trees use a good
grade of shady mixture; if this has
not succeeded in the past ,analyze or
have analysed your soil, and if too
acid supply lime. Grass will grow
almost anywhere under proper grow
ing conditions.
A good stand of grass before June
/ will choke out crab and other per-
nicious grasses, as they will not ger
minte in dense shade If your lawn
is infested, allow your grass to grow
as long as possible during late may
and June. The red top in the mix
ture will die out during the hot
months, but if properly cared for,
the perennial grasses will take its
place.
Roll in the spring after the frost
is out of the ground, about the time
the heaving and thawing is over.
This pushes the grass roots back into
| the soil so that they may take hold,
and conserves the mixture content.
Do not roll when the ground is very
wet, as it will make a hard, imperv-

not out of place in the flower gar
den.
The leek is one of the show vege-
tables and popular exhibit at fall
shows. 1t is exhibited much more
than it is really used. 1t is of es-
pecial value in making soups and
stews, having a distinctive mild onion
flavor The green tops and thick
neck of the plant are used as it does
not form a real bulb as does the
onion.
Leeks must be given an early start
and transplanted to attain the ma
iestic proportions that win prizes in
shows. They must also be hilled up
like celery to give the fine snow
white stalks carrying the luxuriant
green leaves.
Another cousin of the onion of
value for flavoring is the shallot.
The true shallot is seldom seen,
cooks using green onions when the
shallot is called for. However, it is
an easy matter to grow shallots in
the garden, and have the true flavor.

Pure Food Law
Insures True Label
On Salmon Cans

In years gone by, it was the Gus
tom of the Indians in the Northwest
and in Alaska to catch salmon dur
ing the season and dry and store
them for winter. The Indians still do
this in Canada and Alaska, but most
of us get our salmon from cans.
The demand for canned salmon has
increased greatly in the last 20 years
and the salmon-canning business is
now one of the largest and most i'm
portant of the food-manufacturing
industries, according to DR.. A. c..
Hunter of the Federal Food and
Drug Administration.
Recent discoveries indicate that
canned salmon contains vitamin d. It
has been known for some time that
this fish contains some of the other
vitamins and that it possesses con
siderable food value "While all of
the varieties when properly canned
are wholesome, because Of the en-
forcement of the national pure food
law, there is considerable difference
in the qualities Of salmon found on
the market" says Doctor Hunter.
There are five leading varieties of
canned salmon The kind generally
considered to be choicest is spring
catch Columbia River chinook and
this sort generally costs more money
than the other four varieties. The
others, in order of popular prefer
enee, are: Red Cor sockeye), medium
red (or cohoe), pink, and Chum.
There is considerable difference be-
tween the genuine red and the me-
dunn red salmon, and there is a
price differential of approximately
rs cents per dozen cans. Chum sal
mon is the cheapest kind packed, but
it is nutritious and wholesome when
properly canned. 1t lacks the color
and oil Of the better grades.
The administration quite frequently
encounters cases where packers have
mislabeled their fish as to variety.
For example, medium red salmon has
been labeled as red, superior grade.
The government has taken numerous
actions, under the pure food law,
against salmon packers who have
been guilty of this sort of mislabel-
inp

Vegetables That Are
Used For FlavOring

At the top Of the list of vegetables
which are indispensable not only for
themselves but for the flavor they
impart to other foods are the onion
and its close relatives, the garlic,
the leek and chives. The flavor of
the onion is needed in soups, stews,
poultry stuffing, and in fact in in
Vulnerable dishes.
The use of the garlic is becoming
more widespread with the develop
ment of the culinary art through the
domestic science schools and teaching
in the public schools. 1t is only the
flavor not the substance of the garlic
that is used. The substance is not
for human consumption voluntarily
and is regretted when accidentally
consumed.
The flavor Of garlic is impaired
by rubbing the cut surface of sec
ton of the bulb upon the dish in
which the flavor is desired. Cooked,
the garlic rapidly loses its flavor.
Chives, with a delicate onion fla
vor, are used in salads, cheese dish
es, and salad dressings. The green,
grass tops of this tiny member of
the onion family are cut and chopped
fine and mixed with whatever dish
they are to flavor The chive oblig
ingly puts forth more leaves to re-
place those which are cut and is an
alI-season flavoring standby 1t also
has ornamental value with its purple
flower heads and a clump Of it is

LET'S REALLY
SWAT THE FLY"
. + + + + + 1. + 4. 4. + 1. i. 1. T.

Let a person be accused of wilfully
causing another to get typhoid or 9th
er disease germs into his system, and
a terrible cry for justice will be raised.
Yet it often happens that we, through
negligence, are guilty of allowing ty-
phoid germs to be spread to members
of our families by the housefly We
should take every possible step to get
rid Of these filthy, disease-carrying
pests.
Which is better, to spend few dol
lars and some time in keeping down
these natsy, filthy, dangerous flies, or
to pay doctor bills, take care of sick
ness and often even witness death in
the family? We will take the former.
We have been advised to "swat the
fly so long until | am afraid many
of US are prone to not pay any atten-
ton to this admonition. But after all,
fighting the fly is not so terribly hard,
and is well worth the price. We all
know kow to keep down filth and keep
flies FROM breeding, to clean out the
stables at least once each week or 10
days and scatter the manure on the
fields or put it in a screened pit, and
to screen the house. Bue do we do
these things?
In addition to the above precautions
against flies, we should use traps to
catch as many of them as possible,
poisons to kill as many more of them
as possible, and swatters to swat the
rest. Fly traps outside the screened
kitchen will catch large part of the
flies that congregate there to wait for
the screened door to be opened so they
can enter.
A good poison can be made of three
tablespoons of commercial formalin in
a pint of milk and sweetened water.
This is a mild poison but is effective
against flies. Put it in saucers or shall
low containers and keep it where the
flies can get to it but the children
can't.
In fighting flies, as in other kinds of
war, eternal vigilance is the price of

Award for V alOr

Mark Twain once said, "The two
most interesting characters Of the
nineteenth century are Napoleon and
Helen Keller. The linking of two
such widely dissimilar personalities
at first glance seems startling, but,
upon closer consideration, affords a
thought provoking comparison.
One was a soldier who flashed over
the face of history in a meteoric act.
He was in possession of those talents
which human reasoning calls neces-
sary to attain success and fame. He
had a dream of conquest that burned
before him like flame, that led
him into paths that convulsed the
world. He was brilliant, courageous,
ruthless, indomitably bent upon the
realization of his inordinate ambition.
Yet he ended with his dreams shat
tered, his ambition in ashes, exiled
upon d lonely and desolate island,
shut off from a world that stirred
uneasily at the mention Of his name.
And later in the same century was
born a girl who soon seemed destined
to an intolerable existence. She ap-
peared to be hopelessly handicapped;
deafness, blindness, muteness were
apparently her portion. In the face
of the actuality that rose out of
these seeming limitations the com
parison with Napoleon takes on a
different and striking aspect. Sight
less. this woman stood on a New
York skyscraper and described the
city beneath; once mute, from stage
and pulpit addressed the listening
throngs.
She graduated creditably from
Radcliffe College. Honors have been
heaped upon her by universities at
home and abroad. Books and maga-
zine articles have appeared under her
name. In ten years she has raised
81 100000 by her writing and public
appearances for the help of those
who face handicaps similar to those
she has overcome for herself. Let
us grant the warriors personal
bravery. In Miss Keller the world
has glimpsed something so serene
and strong and confident that II
ranks above what men call courage;
something so warm and sympathetic
and unselfish that she has won the
enduring admiration of the world.
The news of the presentation OF
the $4,000 Pictorial Review award te
Miss Keller will evoke universal ap-
plause. The award is given, accord
ing to the announcement, to an
American woman, who, in the opln-
ion of the committee Of judges, has
made during the past ten years, the
greatest contribution to American
life.
In the face of this recognition OF
Miss Keller's stupendous work, men
and women may well pause in humll-
itv and look inward. Let us ask our
selves lust where our limitations lie.
Contemplating her career, can any
of us continue to admit any handl-
cap as having power or might 20
stop us short of a full manifestation
