TINE long, tender canes Of the
rambling. or climbing, roses
need attention at this season.
- In some cases the canes have
failed to climb the arbor or fences
and are lying on the soil. Such canes
should be placed in proper position
and tied with heavy twine. At the
same time the canes should be dis
tributed over the trellis, and not tied
in one bunch. Next Spring each
one Of the present canes will send
out side branches for Towering and,
unless spread out at this time, or
very early in the Spring. will become
bud out very early in Spring and it
Is difficult to handle the canes at
that season without breaking OF
young buds. Needless to say, leather
gloves and a heavy jacket to protect
the arms are desirable equipment
when working on the climbers, which,
with one or two exceptions, are we'll
armed with stout thorns.
Considering varieties, w. H. Young
man. writing In the news sheet Of
the Takoma Horticultural Club. points
out that several of the new varieties
have been disappointing. Blaze and
Dawn have failed to blossom more
than once, although supposedly ever
blooming, and Golden Climber, known
also as Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James,
has lowered very little, even in
Spring. The Spanish variety, Nine.

grower, but not fully hardy In such
seasons as have just passed. It's fiow-

which goes to show that it requires
time to test roses thoroughly and
that some Of the older kinds, such
as Dorothy Perkins, DR.. w. Van Fleet
and Pauls Scarlet, are still the stand
bys in many gardens. Dorothy Per-
kins is very subject to mildew, yet, if
the canes are thinned out in number
and spaced apart on the trellis so
that air and sunlight can penetrate
the foliage, this variety makes q fine
display each Spring.

One of the most serious aspects OF
the Japanese BEETLE problem Is the
attack on lawn grasses by the imma-
ture beetles or grubs while still in the
soil. Very heavy applications Of ar
senate of lead. either to the new lawn
in the making or to the surface Of
the old lawn, are required to control
the underground larvae. Several pa
pers have been published on the
beetle and its control by the Depart.
ment of Agriculture as result Of ex.
tensive investigations in infested areas.
Circular 238 treats of the protection
of lawns and it would be well for local
home owners to begin to read up on
this pest and to learn to recognize 1t
and its depredations.
Garden Notes.
I Asst Autumn, when there was q
very small crop Of acorns. many
home gardeners spoke Of the prob
AD1uGy OIL llSuI WlIteE Oh Tie OASIS
of popular association Of heavy acorn
and nut crops with cold Winters. The
fallacy Of the assertion was well
borne out In one Of the coldest Win
ters on record. Therefore, the heavy
acorn crop Of this present year has no
significance but would indicate SIM
ply an alienation of light and heavy
yields. It Is interesting to observe
the acorns. Many are terminating
and sending down roots into the soil.
At the same time there Is no top
growth. Acorns are useful food to
many wild animals and birds. but. to
the home gardeners, they are simply q
nuisance.
Deep spading Of the vegetable and
flower garden in late Autumn is good
practice provided 1t does not lie on
. slope. In . way, spading is q pro-
tective measure against insects, such
Is cutworms and beetles which are
alternating below the surface. In ad-

dition, the soil u exposed to the
weather, which tends to put 1t into
condition for early Spring working.
Labelling Of plants Is an important
task in late Autumn, particularly for
herbaceous species which lose their
tons each Autumn. Without labels
it Is very easy indeed to thrust the
garden fork directly into some valu-
able clump and thus tpture or even
destroy It. Metal labels made Of dura-
BILE material such - zinc or alum
mum, are very desirable. One may
write on zinc with . soft pencil or,
better yet, With one Of the following
chemical inks: /. verdigri, / ounce;
sal.ammoniac, ounce: lamp BLACK,
n ounce, and distilled water, 1h
pints. 2. / dram copper acetate: !
dram ammonium chloride. "a dram
lamp black, 10 drains of water; and. 5.
Copper sulphate dissolved in ordinary
ink. A pointed glass rod makes .
satisfactory pencil for these chemical
inks. The larger garden supply stores
carry supplies Of zinc and other labels.
The Madonna lilies are making Wig
orous leaf growth at this season and.
from the character Of the growth. one
can fairly well estimate the condition
of the bulbs. In other words, . sturdy
rosette of several leaves means .
strong bulb under the soil, whereas
few spindling leaves may indicate
that all Is not too well with the bulb.
Planting the bulb in pocket Of sand
is advisable and no fertilizer should
be placed In contact with lily bulbs.
At this season arborvitaes show
much brown foliage, especially toward
the center Of the plants. For the most
part this Is . natural process and In
Spring new leaves will push forth to
replace those lost in Autumn.

Community Spirit Needed.
All that is necessary Is enough COM
munity spirit to form an association
to do the things every home owner
has to arrange to do by himself any
way. It is being done in Q number Of
places where residents Of closely knit
neighborhoods want to achieve high
standards for their property and yet
cannot afford a great amount Of time
and money for the task. In those
places where 1t has been tried 1t has
been found successful In enhancing
property vslues-a prospect well worth
the trouble it takes.
1t works this way: II every one on
your street contributes, according to
the size Of his property. for those
special services all think are desirable
but few can afford alone, every ones
property will 60 up in value as . re-
suit. The maintenance fund Is made
up Of assessments based on the square
footage Of the property owned. This
amounted to 2 cents q square foot in
one community. Supposing the lot Is

$40 . year.

Coast Foot Ball
OF Big Ten Rank
BY JAMES PHELAN,

Head Foot Ball Coach. University of
Washington.
CEATTLE, September 29.-Most
~ foot ball fans looked on the
Minnesota Washington game as a
test between Pacific Coast foot ball
and the Big Ten, and, If we take the
game in that light, I am forced to
admit that Pacific Coast foot ball is
on a par with, if not superior to, the
Big Ten brand, because Minnesota
has a three-year unbeaten record
and washington rates about fourth
or fifth in this years coast prospec-
tus. Last year Washington lost
three games, and this year has the
same personnel, minus three regu-
lars who were replaced by sopho-
mores.
Minnesota is a good defensive
team with a line much stronger
than the backfleld. The Minnesota
offense is ordinary, and, without
Andy Uram, the team will play some
tie games or lose to teams with a
versatile attack.
Nine Of my players were sopho-
mores. and If a veteran team like
Minnesota cannot make more
ground against them, then I will
trade my games with U. S. c., Cali
fornia and U. c. L. A. for any they
have to offer in the Big Ten.

CHUMMING with cut bunker is the
method used for the most part,
although few veteran game fisher
men go out into the Atlantic and troll

fishermen long used chum to lure tuna
