TINE Korean hybrids are exciting
considerable renewed interest
in chrysanthemums because of
Il increased hardness, greater
brilliancy of color and earliness OF
towering. The Ohio Experiment Sta
ton suggests the six varieties, Apollo,
Ceres, Daphne, Diana. Mars and Mer-
curry, as among the best in this new
group. The station suggests the ad-
visibility of applying mulches, such
as straw, peat and other materials
after the ground has frozen. In the
case of less hardy varieties, clumps
may be lifted in late Autumn and set
in the cold frame covered with sash
during the coldest weather. This
suggestion appears very logical, If We
are to have Winters such as occurred
the last two years, when local home
gardeners lost many of their most
attractive varieties. The best success
will be had with hardy chrysanthe-
NUNS, if the clumps are divided in
the early Spring into individual
plants.
Summer Bulbs.
CHANGING through the catalogue
of one of the country's largest
seed houses, one finds a page devoted
to Summer Towering bulbs with
nicely colored illustrations, showing
that the flowers must be really very
attractive. In the group are the calla
lily, the candicans hyacinth, the fra
grant lily (chlidanthus fragrans), the
Peruvian daffodil Gsmene Calathina)
montbretia, trigridia, tuberose and
fairy lily (Zephranthes Rosea). Three
of these, namely, the hyacinth, the
Peruvian daffodl and the tuberose,
are pure white in color. All are
grown from bulbs which must be
lifted each Autumn just as with
gladiolus.
Garden Cutworms,
A PEST that causes the home gar
- dener considerable trouble at
various seasons is the cutworm. This
insect is often guilty of cutting of
newly-set flower and vegetable plants
just above the soil level and is doubly
noxious because it works only at
night. The ursuspecting gardener
may for time even believe the plants
have been broken of accidentally. DR..
Fernald, in his text Applied Ento-
mology," states that there are many
different species of cutworms and that
many different kinds of garden and
field plants are attacked. Usually one
can, by digging an inch or two into
the soil near the decapitated plant;
find gray to blackish caterpillar of
/ inch to IL inch In length. The
trouble is usually most severe in new
gardens that have previously been in
sod.
As control measures, deep spading
in late Autumn is helpful by bringing
up the partly developed caterpillars to
the surface where the vicissitudes Of
Winter destroy many OF them. The
treatment recommended at this season
Is a poisoned bait consisting of wheat
bran, Paris green, molasSes, o little
orange Juice and water. The pro-
Evening star., 1936-06-13

portions are, roughly, one quart of
bran, one ounce of Paris green, one
eighth of a pint of molasses, one"
eighth of one orange and enough
water to make rather stiff dough.
This should be placed in the evening
in small quantities near the newly-set
plants. Boards placed slightly above
the poisoned mash will prevent birds
from feeding and, in day or two, 1t
may be rendered harmless by cover
ing with soil.
Care of Roses.
NOW that the first flush of bloom
is passing from the hybrid tea
roses, the foresighted home gardener
is reworking the soil about the plants
and adding some fertility in the form
of bone meal or shredded COW manure
so that the new crop of buds may
have abundant plant food. Black
spot has not been a serious factor
so far, but busting with finely divided
sulphur should continue, paying par
ticular attention to the bottom leaves
which are near the soil. Infection
usually starts on these older leaves
and works upward into the new foli-
age Aphids are easily dispensed
with by busting with pyrethrum
powder or spraying with nicotine am
terials. If the foliage is kept healthy
there will be many more flowers and,
above all, the plant will be enabled
to store up reserves for the coming
years. If the leaves are lost the plants
weaken and succumb during Winter.
A bed of hybrid tea roses is about
the finest asset that one can have
in the home garden for there will be
cutting Of the flowers will benefit
rather than injure the bushes.
Organic Matter.
THE ordinary home garden procedure
is extremely destructive of organic
matter in the soil. Most home garden
ers use only commercial fertilizer, COM
posed chiefly of minerals, and burn all
their plant refuse and leaves from the
shade trees In fact, the gardener is
caught between two fires; if he saves
old plants he may be also saving dis
eases and insects. and, if he burns this
waste material, the organic matter is
lost as gases and smoke There Is no
question as to the need of organic mat
ter in the soil This material helps
keep the soil porus, helps hold water
in dry periods and is also an ever-sus-
tanning source of plant food. Many
of our mineral fertilizers leach down
in the subsoil with heavy rains and are
lost to the plants few weeks after ap-
plication. Practically, what can the
home gardener do about the matter?
He can used shredded manure, cotton
seed meal and ground bone as part of
the fertilizer needs and he can grow
crimson clover, Winter rye and cow
peas as turn-under crops whenever
the garden soil is idle. Rye lends itself
as particularly useful because it may
be sown in October and spaded under
in April. These green plants decay

culture and left behind him at his
death many unpublished records. The
Department of Agriculture has re-

practical suggestions on the manner Of
growth Of tulips, methods of culture,

Close cutting Of the lawn is not
desirable the next two months because
of the fact that blue grass grows very
little In midsummer and needs foliage
to feed the roots and also to protect
them from the hot sun. Grab grass,
on the other hand, revels in full sun
light and close-cutting favors this
species. The ideal culture Is one that
favors the blue and other real lawn
grasses and assists them in holding
their own during midsummer. The
lawn mower should be adjusted to cut
as high as possible.

ARCHITECT LAUDS
GLASS IN BUILDING
Metal and Air Conditioning
Also to Dominate, Says
Winner of Medal.

Morris Sanders, brilliant young
architect who recently was awarded q
medal by the Architectural League OF
New York for a modern home he de-
signed for his own occupancy, believes
that accepted notions of building con-
struction will give way to new era
an era in which glass and metal will
become even more important than
they are at present-So that people
can enjoy the full living advantages
provided by conditioning, scien-
tific illumination, and other recent
improvements.
I'VE have brought mechanical
equipment to highly developed
stage" Mr.. Sanders declared in a re-
cent interview. Electricity has been
harnessed in many ways to save labor
and to give conveniences that were
unthought-of a decade or tw5 ago.
But We have done little to improve
the building shell in which people live
and use this apparatus.
Pure Air Is Needed.
Moreover, the contemporary home
Is rarely suited to contemporary con-
ditionS. In most cities and towns
today sunlight Is at premium, and
the air Is filled with smoke. dust, and
the fumes of gasoline. Years ago, it
was not necessary to design homes to
withstand such conditions but We are
now faced with the very real problem
of escaping the noise and dirt Of our
surroundings, particularly We in the
cities"
For these reasons, Sanders feels
that the next few years will steadily
develop basic changes in construction
OF every type. The existing trend to-
ward increased use of glass will be
especially accelerated, in his opinion,
and will lead to wholly new ideas in
architecture.
Resurrection of Glass.
In the modern theory and practice
of architecture, the combined use OF
glass and metal holds and has always
held a dominant position. Probably
the first modern building Of impor-
tance was the famous Crystal Palace,
constructed in London in 1851. Again
In 1852, similar building was
erected in New York upon the site
now occupied by Bryant Square. In
both New York and London the glass
and steel buildings housed great exhi-
bitionS. Although the emphasis upon
glass subsidized for several decades, it
has again presented itself in many
forms as one of the best solutions to
the present day problem Of better
living.
Mr.. Sanders own Manhattan
home-for which he was cited by the
Architectural League-iS a splendid
example of the modern city domicile.
Situated upon a narrow lot upon
which an old-fashioned broWnstone
house lately stood, 1t is handsome
refuge Theoretically sealed from the
city'S noise and dirt. Translucent
glass bricks( used generously, provide
walls that are insulated against noise
and cold, yet offer the utmost in light
r-conditioning furnishes perfect
ventilation independently of the win
dows. Loggias in the facade of the
building relieve the severity of the
glazed d-brick-and-glass facade and
give space for the planting OF
shrubbery.

alton is the first step a stockman takes
who participates in the range program,
MIR. Tyler says. After a stockman APP
plies for a range examination, a range
examiner will visit his ranch and work
out with him a report on that partic-
ular ranch. AT the time the range is
examined the stockman will also in
dictate the range building practices
that he wishes to perform. After this
report is checked by the county COM
mittee it will be returned to the stock
man who then may put the practices
into effect. The final steps in the pro-

ment.
The county committee can furnish
stockmen with full details on the prac-
tees which may be performed in the
range-improvement program.

in its SO districts, employing 1872 teach
ers and accommodating about 1900
students. Redstone, Westby, Medicine
Lake, Antelope, Plentywood, Outlook,
Dooley and Comertown have high
schools, and there are consolidated and
t~wo-teacher schools at Homestead, Re-
serve, Raymond and Dagmar. The
Plentywood school is the largest, with
an enrolment of AIS and with 16
teachers employed. Schools in other
towns and villages range from 4 teach
ers and 60 pupils at Dooley to 8 teach
ers and 2S2 pupils at Medicine Lake.
Rural one-teacher schools have enroll
ments of from 2 to "a. All but one or
two schools now have fair to good
buildings and equipment. Teachers ma
tive to the county are hired whenever
possible. Subjects and methods are
theoretically those prescribed by the
State Course of Study, but practically
there is nothing to prevent individual
teachers from Introducing variations
which they consider worthwhile (H,R).
In the Plentywood school the inter
mediate grades are departmentalized,
each teacher teaching the subjects in
which he has specialized, with special
boys work under the supervision Of
n teacher. Literature is offered in
the seventh grade, science and general
mathematics in seventh and eighth IN
alternate years. In the high school par
ticularly efforts are made to inform
students about conditions now existing
and changes anticipated in American
industry and society.
The standard required subjects are
supplemented by electives in physics,
home economics, tipping, shorthand,
mechanical drawing, public speaking,
bookkeeping and Latin. The county's
interest in social questions is reflected
in large enrollments in social science
classes. Elementary pupils are given an
opportunity to develop social abilities
through pupil-directed activities ana
clubs. Extracurricular and athletic ac-
tivities of high schools include track.
football, basket ball, bands and glee
clubs. Some Boy Scout activities were
added in 1866. F,H,QR).
