COOLING MOTH
CONTROL

Wormy apples are q problem any
where. but particularly to the suburban
gardener who usually has no adequate
equipment for thorough spraying. The
following press release from the De-
partment Of Agriculture contains help
full suggestions:
Chemically treated bands may kill
as many as thousand cooling moth
worms to the tree each season.
When they leave the fruit, from the
middle Of June until the end of the
season, cooling moths seek the nearest
dark, protected place for spinning their
cocoons. Loose bark on the trunk and
branches, or debris on the ground, nor
mally provides suitable quarters. II
the trees have been scraped and the or
chard thoroughly cleaned up, however,
bands around the trunk of the tree will
attract so per cent or more of the
worms. "A chemically treated band au-
Dramatically kills practically all the
worms that spin their cocoons tn con-
tact with it.
"A two-inch corrugated paper band
treated with mixture of beta naph-
thol lone pound and lubricating oil
az pints) Is recommended by Gov
eminent entomologists. Detailed direc-
lions for preparing the bands and put
by the Bureau Of Entomology, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c.
Chemically treated bands, the ento-
biologists point out, cut down the worm
population Of an orchard, thus reduc-
Ing the number to be controlled by
spraying"

DAHLIA DISBUDDING

The magnificent large. individual
blooms of dahlia seen at Autumn flower
shows are not the result Of chance but
of careful planning. Disturbing is one
of the important means OF securing
large exhibition blooms but presupposes.
of course, that the plant is well sup
piled with fertilizers and properly cul-
tivated and staked.
If one observes the developing dahlia,
the first bud to expand Is located at
the tip of the main shoot. This bud
is known as the crown bud and will
dominate the Towering status Of the
plant. Hence some growers simply cut
this bud off if it appears early and
thus direct the plants energy into
forming side branches. At the end Of
each branch there form three buds. In
disbudding the central one OF these
buds should be saved and the two side
ones pinched out. Young branches
which push out from the leaf axis OF
these side<branches must also be pinch
ed out for three or four nodes back to
allow for good length stems for the
terminal bloom.
Disturbing is simply process Of re-
ducing the number OF flowers on the
plant and conserving the food for
those remaining.
Many gardeners prefer to permit
their dahlias to bloom as they will, pre-
ferring a profusion OF flowers OF mod
crate size to a lesser number of larger
ones. With the small Powered forms,
such as collarettes and pompons, there
Is little to be gained by disbudding
tut IL ths large, exhibition types one
cannot expect to top the show without
disbudding.

DAHLIA MOSAIC

In an interesting paper in the April
June number of Contributions from
Boyce Thompson Institute. Yonkers, N.
Y, Philip Brierley of the United States
Department of Agriculture sets forth the
results of study of dahlia mosaic. In
garden plants the disease Is manifest
ee in extreme cases by the stunning OF
the entire plant but more frequently
by the presence of bleached areas on
the leaves accompanied by more or less
distortion of the leaf.
A certain species of aphid. techni-
cally known as myzus psrsicae was
found capable of carrying the disease
from plant to plant. The disease over
wintered in the tubers but fortunately
was not found in the true seed.
Control was said to rest in the Sc
lection of healthy plants and their
growth under isolated conditions, that
IS away from other dahlias OF doubtful
condition. In the home garden this
might mean the disposal OF badly in
fected plants. Fortunately, so far,
dahlia MOSAIC was not found in other
forms of plants.

THE GARDEN CLUBS

The Takoma Horticultural Club will
hold its annual Gladiolus Show on
Wednesday and Thursday, August
and 10, in the auditorium Of the
Takoma, D. c., School at the corner of
Dahlia street and Piney Branch road.
The display should be unusually large
and fine this year because Of the
support of the American Gladiolus
Society. which has consented to award
its silver and bronze medals to the
high point winners, who are also
members of the national organization.
As a result 1t is expected that blooms
will be brought in from Q wide area.
Some very desirable unrestricted prizes
in the form of bulbs of new varieties
Of gladiolus have been secured by the
enterprising committe chairman. ]. T.
Gable.
In addition to gladiolus. classes will
be provided for lilies, zinnias, petunias,
balsam, marigolds and other Summer
flowers. Exhibits will be received from
3 to Z pm. on August 9 and the show
opened to the public at 8 pm. OF the
first day. All amateur growers ire
spective Of their residence or af1liation
are invited to enter their flowers IN
the display.

EASTMAN MUST LET
ROADS CUT FORCES
Cannot Interfere in Case of Per.
sonnet Reductions Made in
Ordinary Course.

BY the Associated Press.
Joseph B. Eastman, co-ordinator Of
transportation. yesterday announced he
had no authority to prevent railroads
reducing or increasing their stai1s In
the ordinary course of business.
Eastman said the restrictions on re-
ducing employees in the emergency rail-
road act applied only to actions Of the
co-ordinator.
The law. according to the interpre-
tation. would prevent Eastman issuing
any orders that would result in re-
duction below the number Of workers
employed during May. However should
a railroad find it necessary to remove
trains Or :eke any other acton N Chc
ordinary course of business that would
result in reduction of forces. there Is
nothing in the law to prevent 1t.
The ruling was made In response to
a number Of letters received by the
co-ordinator protesting against men
being laid of or discharged.

THE TIGER LILY

Year after year, drought or wet, the
tiger lily sends up its sturdy spikes upon
which are borne profusion Of orange
blooms. Bailey, in his Encyclopedia
of Horticulture, asserts that this sturdy
lily came originally from Asia. from
whence have come SO many lovely orna-
mentals. Few plants display a wider
adaptability to soils and location than
does the tiger lily Too, the plant is
provided with wonderful provocative
capacity by the bulbils produced SO
freely in the axis of the leaves and
which separate SO readily from the
parent plant that they are scattered
rather widely. The tiger lily will add
charm and beauty to any Summer gar
den and will remain with the garden
long after the source is forgotten.
Sometimes tiger lilies may be seen near
some old cellar hole, persisting without
care and serving as a reminder OF a
forgotten garden. DR.. L. H. Bailey tells
us that in certain areas this lily has
become naturalized.

GARDEN BULLETINS

Looking backward through the files,
one finds a considerable number OF
farmers bulletins published by the De-
partment of Agriculture bearing d.
rectly on home garden subjects.
Many Of these can still be procured at
normal cost and contain q wealth Of
useful information. In the list are:
Farmers Bulletin 1914, The City
Home Garden; No. 1912, Permanent
Fruit and Vegetable Gardens; No. 1871.
Diseases and Insects Of Garden Vege-
tables; No. 1881, Herbaceous Peren-
mails; No. 1895, Insect Enemies of the
Flower Garden, and No. 1547, Rose
Diseases, Their Causes and Control.
In this last named paper there is q
full account of the nature Of the dread
ed black spot disease of the rose and
how it is best combatted. One hest
tates to say controlled because in a
humid season, such as the present, II
seems rather impossible to completely
control black spot on certain varieties
In addition to these general bulletins
there are more specific ones relating
for example, to the garden iris, the
dahlia and the day lilies. Here is a
source of authoritative information that
may be obtained at slight cost.

GARDEN NOTES

Platycodon or balloon flower is a
colorful ana hardy perennial that
merits place In the border because of
its vivid blue or white flowers which
appear in July and August. It GER
talnly makes splendid show at a time
when perennial borders are apt to be
rather dull In appearance
Under the favorable moisture condi-
lions which have prevailed to date,
larkspurs which were cut back to the
ground have sprouted again and are
BEGINNING to blossom.
However. unfortunately, the ample
moisture has not been entirely benefi-
c1al Grapes. for instance, have never
been more subject to black rot, which
in some cases is taking heavy toll of
the crop. Consistent spraying with
Bordeaux mixture would have protected
the fruit but in many cases 1t is now
rather late to spray. In fact, spraying
in cases of severe infection now could
be compared to the situation of lock-
ing the door after the horse is stolen.
There are very few species of true
cedars in the entire world. The So
called Virginia field cedar is. for
example. juniper misnamed by the
early colonists. Cedrus deodar and
Cedrus libani. the deodar and Lebanon
cedars. respectively. are wonderfully
handsome trees Near the Lee Man
sion in Arlington Cemetery there is q
magnificent specimen of deodar cedar
that shows well the inherent beauty
OF the tree
Pansies for next Spring should be
sown at this time in prepared soil, that
is, in soil in which has been incorpo-
rated leaf mod or peat moss and also
some sand In such an environment
the seeds will terminate rapidly and
form stout young plants for Autumn
setting. The variation in size and
quality Of pansy flowers under like
conditions Of culture is due chiefly to
differences in the quality of the seed
In other words. 1t pays to locate q

VERY summer thousands OF
Americans make the pilgrimage
to Gettysburg. famous American
battle field and locale of one of the
most famous speeches ever deliv.
ered-Abraham Lincoln's Gettys-

At Gettysburg. during the first
three days of July, 1868, the course
of American history, If not indeed
the trend of world destiny, trem-
bled In the balance. Here Ameri-
ian courage and valor reached q
high-water mark; here the hopes
Of the Confederacy attained their
flood stage and began the ebb that
ended at Appomattox.
As one motors along the avenues
that mark the battle lines, now
pausing In reverence before this and

now climbing n or another of the
five steel observation towers for a
broader sweep of the terrain, he I'M
derstands why this Is the most
widely known of all the battle fields
of America, attracting more than
100000 visitors annually.
Never did any commander face
his problem under greater difficult
ties than did Gen. George Gordon
Meade. AT three o'clock on the
morning of June %, less than so
hours before the great battle
opened, he was awakened In his
tent at the headquarters Of the Fifth
corps, which he had been command
ing. An officer from Washington
announced that he had come bring
Ing trouble. Later, In a letter to
his wife, Meade confessed that he
thought the officer had come to re-
lieve him of his command or to ar
rest him; but his conscience was
clear.
And trouble 1t was that the Off
Ger brought, though of a vastly diff
ferent kind. He delivered an or
