RAPS SCHOOLS

Our present American school
system was denounced last night
by DR.. william Chandler Bagley,
professor of education at Teach
er's College, Columbia University,
New York city, when he said that
even the most backward country
Is outstriping us in educational
facilities.
DR.. Bagley addressed a gather
ing of several hundred parents and
teachers last night at Roosevelt
High School.
DR.. Bagley's speech opened
American education week here
with scathing speech on our
education system, mentioning the
failure of many schools through
out the country to open, and the
non-payment of teachers.
DR.. Bagley declared that the
school system needs revision, in
solar as there are many different
carriculi within the Sytem which
should be standardized for the
way the methods remain now,
children learning in one school,
then shifting to another and en-
tering the same grade at a strang
school, are often handicapped with
a different book and either find
themselves in a more advanced
class or vice versa.

THE ROSE GARDEN

Summer is no time to Judge the color
OF roses. because heat and intense SUM-
light fade reds into light shades and add
touches OF pink and other off hues to
yelloWs. Even such clear whites as
Frau Karl D-uschki take on q pink
tinge. Hence the home gardener should
rot be too haSty in concluding that some
inferior variety has been harded him.
In October true colors will again return
and the rose will assume its full glory.
Fertilizers seem to have no part in caus-
Ing roses to go OIL color in Midsummer.
Black spot continues to take its toll
Of the rose leaves. Newly set plants
seem especially susceptible. probably
because their foliage is close to the
soil. and hence more subject to mois-
ture. Varieties differ greatly In sus-
ceptibility to black spot For example,
the beautiful yellow variety. Mrs. E. P.
Thorn. may well be listed as very sus-
ceptible. while Red Radiance is out
standing for its resistance One home
gardener has developed plan OF spray
ing his plants with Bordeaux mixture
after each flush Of bloom. This pro-
tects the older basal leaves and does
not discolor the fresh young foliage.
As an in-between treatment, one can
employ the sulphur Of lead
dust. known under various names, such
as Massey dust. It Is pertinent that
wholesale rose growers still spray
with Bordeaux mixture
Summer affords q good opportunity
for applying bone meal about the base
Of the plants as sort Of insurance
Of good Autumn bloom. A plant, such
as the hybrid tea rose, that blooms re-
peatedly, deserves and needs repeated
fertilizing unless planted in the old
fashioned way. with loads of rotted
manure worked into the beds before
planting.

THE ABELIA.

Judging by its rapidly increasing use
abella grandiflora is one Of Washing
tons most popular Summer Towering
shrubs. The flowers are not Snowy ex-
cept by virtue OF their number, but be-
cause OF their unuguallv long Towering
period, from June to November, they
are outstanding among shrubs. Sum-
mer f1oWertng Shrubs in this locality,
are relatively few in number but they
make up for this deficiency by contain
ing several long blooming forms, such
as abelia. althea and Grape myrtle This
locality is favored in this respect because
the Grape myrtle and abelia are not
consistently hardy much farther north
than Washington.
Because OF its relatively low growth,
the abelia looks we'll when planted as a
foreground for larger pants such IS
everEeens. The culture of abelia IS
relatively simple as the plants thrive
with minimum Of cars in any sunny
position. However, to obtain strong
growth and free towering the soil
should be enriched with bone meal or
Other fertilizer and kept free Of grass
and other weeds in the vicinity of the
root crowns. The abelia lends itself to
pruning as flowers are produced on new
growth. DR.. Bailey. in his Encyclopedia
OF Horticulture. tells us that propaga-
ton Is usually accomplished by green
wood cuttings placed under glass and
also by cuttings Of mature wood taken
In late Autumn. The abelia, like so
many other Of our more beautiful
shrubs. was found in Asia, but the gar
den form was originated under cult
vation.

LECUMES.

Probably many people have observed
the rank growth Of sweet clover In the
rather sterile soil Of roadsideS and per-
haps wondered how it Is possible
for one plant to thrive so well where
others would assuredly fail. The secret
lies in the nature of the plants es-
sentially their capacity to obtain nitro
gen from the vast supply of the air.
To be more accurate, bacteria which
live on the roots of legumes possess
the power to gather nitrogen and the
plants benefit Indirectly. With the in
exhaustible air supply of nitrogen
available. 1t Is no wonder the sweet
clover can thrive in almost pure clay
or sand.
Fortunately, the legume family is
large and represents many trees, vines,
herbs and ANIMALS In the forest there
is the locust, the Kentucky coffee bean
and the red bud tree. On the farm
there are the clovers, beans and peas
In the vegetable garden the lima bean,
bush bean and garden peas are we'll
known. LegumeS concern the home
gardener both directly as edible vege-
tables and indirectly as q source Of
green manures for turning under to
replenish the soil. Among the green
manures Of leguminous nature. cow
peas, soybeans and crimson clover are
outstanding in this locality. Crimson
clover is particularly desirable in the
home vegetable garden because it can
be planted in late Summer after many
vegetables are harvested and will con.
tinue to grow after frosh In Autumn

CALIFORNIA TREE VIEWS
EXHIBITED AT MUSEUM

Photographs Of trees Of California
have been placed on exhibit in the New
National Museum in the foyer, Tenth
street entrance.
The photographs were entered in q
competition held under joint auspices
OF the "Save-the- -Redwoods League" and
the California Conservation Committee
Of the Garden Club of America and are
now on travelling exhibit throughout
the United States. They will remain at
the National Museum for the rest Of
the month.
The competition, undertaken to stim-
ulate interest in trees as features Of the
landscape. called forth many ingenious
and exceptionally beautiful examples of
the photographers art There are
studies Of redwood big tree, Monterey
cypress, eucalyptus, pine, aspen, yucca,
Joshua tree. smoke tree. cactus, hem
lock, and Towering fruit trees. There
are also detail studies of roots. bark and
seed pods.

have formed, the gardeners should use
pyrethrum sprays, because they leave
no harmful residue. In the case of
shell beans, where the pod is discarded
before cooking, the. magnesium arsen-
ate offers no objection at any stage
and Is considerably cheaper.
It is good gardening to remove all
old Towering stalks after the blooming
period. This conserves the energy Of
the plant and helps also to keep the
garden in q slightly condition. With
hollyhocks, removal of the stalks be-
fore the seeds shed saves lots of trou-
BILE in wedding out seedlings which
come up in great numbers II the plants

One of the large seed houses lists
the following bulbs as suitable for
rock garden planting: Chionodoxa,
crocus, Winter aconite, guinea hen

hyacinth and tuGpa clusiana. These
bulbs will all be available in early Au-

Crab grass has now taken posses
sion of many spots in our lawns and
may be easily detected by its light
green hue. For all said and done, crab
grass deserves some commendation for
its sheer ability to survive and thrive
where presumably better grasses fail.
Probably the only way to win against
this grass is to feed the blue grass
and clover. so that they grow sufficient
ly luxuriantly to hold their own. Prof.
c. r. Enlow and co-workers of the De-
partment of Agriculture have advanced
the theory that close cutting of the
Spring lawn favors crab grass, which
Is pre-eminently full sunlight spe-
cies. Permitting the blue grass to re-
main a few inches tall Is believed to
shade the soil to the extent that crab
grass cannot thrive. Now that crab
grass Is present, it should be moved
closely to cut of its seed heads.
Experimental evidence in the way Of
weighing lawn clippings shows that re-
moval of such clippings Is detrimental
to the lawn unless. of course, the clip
pings are so long that they actually
smother the lawn. Short clippings drop
to the soil and form a protective mulch
and ultimately decay into humus. Clip
pings are themselves high in nitrogen,
which ultimately returns to the soil if
allowed to fall.
The German or common garden iris
is practically dormant In July and Au-
gust and. for this reason. may be moved
with advantage during this period. 1t
is we'll not to subdivide the clumps too
closely II abundant blooms are desired
next Spring. With this precaution,
plants will scarcely realize they have
been disturbed and, in fact. II the soil
is spaded and well fertilized with bone
meal, better blooms will result. In ma
turc the iris rootstock lies only half
buried in the soil. This is the way that
new plants should be set.
