emily observed trend toward note
worthy increases in the number of
shareholders is the beginning of
another period which will see more
and more Of the investors and savers
Of the Nation placing their funds
where they will go directly into home
mortgage capital"
The league official said that new
money flowing into the associations
at this time Is not entirely covered
by the opening Of new accounts,
since more than half of the present
shareholders are on an installment
basis, paying in systematically stated
amounts on their shares. Among the
tendencies noted during the past six
months, in addition to the increasing
number Of new accounts, has been
the renewal Of their old savings habits
on the part Of many whom circum-
stances had forced to stop paying
on their shares temporarily. He ex-
planned that there is no forfeiture OF
capital In the associations by mem
bers who have to let their accounts
lapse, the amount once paid In being
always carried in the name of the
shareholder and subject to repurchase
by the association in case the share
holder finds it necessary to tap this

tions. namely, poisoning and destruc-
tion by gases or liquids.
Poisoning Is effective largely be-
cause of the food collecting habits Of
the workers. Materials are carried to
the home nest and there fed to the
other members of the colony. In this
way, the colonies may be destroyed.
Great strides have been made in the
last few years in the development of
ant poisons for home garden use and
materials may be secured from any
garden supply store under various pro-
prietary names.
Carbon bisulphide Is useful chem
ical for direct destruction of nests
The usual method of application is to
pour a tablespoonful of the liquid
down into a hole made with a pointed
stick and then cover with a little soil
or a wet sack. The carbon bisulphide
volatilizes quickly and penetrates all
portions of the nest, killing the in
habitants. The only hazard is the in
f1ammability OF the gas in the pres
ence Of flames Of matches, etc.
Ants are vexatious pest because
Of their persistence when once they
have discovered food. Yet with some
persistence on the part of the home
owner in providing accessible poisoned
syrups or meat concentrates. such as
lard, it is possible to free the home
from this irksome insect.
Dahlia Mosaic.
nAHLIA plants, which when wa
tered and fertilized, still fail to
grow and remain stunted all season
are probably infected with a disease
Of the virus type. This trouble is
manifested also by pale green bands
along the mid-veins and a general
mottling Of the leaves. Once infected.
plants never recover and serve as a
fountain from which aphids can carry
the disease to healthy plants. OBJ
viously, diseased plants should be de-
stroyed as soon as discovered. Certain
varieties are said by the New Jersey
Experiment Station to be rather tol-
Grant Of the disease. These include
Jersey Beauty, LIE Toreador, Mrs. I.

PAPER SUM MARIZES
AIR CONDITIONING
installations for Utilities Serving
20,000,000 Is Dis
covered,

A summary Of air conditioning in
stallations made during the first half
Of this year on the lines Of 81 utilities
serving a population of about 20
OO0, 900 has just been released by the
publication Automatic Heat and Air
Conditioning. 1t shows 1,187 installa-
tions with a total of 31,646.0 horse
power made on the power lines Of
these utilities during the first half
Of 1886, which compares with el9 in
stallations and 30,382.0 horsepower
in the same period of 1885. The in
crease in number of installations was
29.l6 per cent and in horsepower 416
per cent.
The fact that the number of in
stallationS is increasing more rapidly
than the horsepower is, indicates
that the greatest progress is being
made in the small commercial and
residential installations.
Chicago's 247 installations account
ing for 5,897O8 horsepower, are con-
siderably in advance of other cities.
The two boroughs of New York City
Manhattan and the Bronx are next
in the number of installations with
140, while Philadelphia is third with
112 and Dallas is fourth with 107.
The two boroughs of New York City
were also second in horsepower with
4,276, while Dallas was third with
3,40s.8 and Washington, D. c., was
fourth with 3,134.75.

the favorable effects. Most every
home gardener knows that rhododen-
drons and aZaleas need an acid soil.
In experiments with IS different trees

which responded very favorably to
lime applied to the surrounding soil.
Among lime-loving plants we're Tar
tartan honeysuckle, Deutzia Lemoinei
and False Tamarix. Fortunately most
of the species had no positive pref
erences.

one pound of ammonium sulphate to
or 4 pounds of soybean or cotton
seed meal is suggested. using 8 to IL
pounds per 1000 square feet Of sur
face.
Too frequent cutting Is not de-
sirable during the Summer months. as
close clipping tends to discourage
the better grasses and to favor the
crab grass 1t is we'll to continue the
campaign Of wedding in the Sum-
mer. particularly with regard to the
plantains and dandelions, which seem
to grow vigorously under conditions
which are. not favorable to grasses.
The most successful time to pull weeds
Is just after the lawn has been well
watered.
There is a very helpful Depart
ment of Agriculture publication,
Farmers Bulletin, No. 1877, Planting
and Care of Lawns. This contains
information on the construction of
new and the maintenance of estab-
lshed lawns. Copies may be secured
from the superintendent of documents
at a very nominal sum.
Lining the Soil.
OF THE two forms of lime, namely,
hydrated lime and ground lime
stone. used by local home gardeners,
there is vastly more of the first kind
used, possibly because 1t is more read
lily available. being used for plaster
ing and other industrial purposes.
For the garden, it really makes but
little difference which form is sp-
piled, both having certain advan-
tages and both accomplishing the
same purposes. Limestone is simply
ground rock and can be used safely at
any season. The hydrated lime was
secured by burning the limestone
rock and then permitting the prod
uct to take up water. Hydrated lime
Is more active chemically and may
injure young plants. Hence, 1t is well
to apply this form Of lime in the late
Autumn or during Winter, thus CIV
ing 1t time to become inactive.
Lime should not be considered
plant food, although needed in small
quantities by most plants. 1t is pri-
marily used to change the soil reac-
ton: that is, to make acid soils less
acid. Most vegetables and a large
number of ornamentals benefit by
lime applications, but there are we'll
recognized exceptions, notably the
rhododendrons, azaleas, blueberies
and certain species of lilies.
Destroying Ants.
FROM early Spring to Winter the
ant plaques home gardeners and
home owners by either forming
mounds of earth in the lawn and gar
den or by actually invading the house
and pantry. There are many different
species, some eating only plant prod
ucts, such as nectar, and others pre-
ferring only food of animal nature.
This food preference complicates con-
troll by poisoning because no one
poison will entice all the different
species. Control lies in two direc-

gladiolus show and this means
that this fine species is reaching the
height of its seasonal beauty. The
gladiolus is waning in popularity 10
cally, not because of lack Of adnira-
ton, but because of q small, almost
invisible insect, known as the gladiolus
thrips. This insect makes up in num-
ber for its smallness and, because Of
its manner of rasping the flower and
leaf tissues to get at the sap, can
ruin gladiolus completely. What can
be done? This question Is of deep
concern and even the best growers
have failed to find a satisfactory
answer. For a while it was believed
that treatment of the corms with
napthalene fakes or mercury BIZ
chloride during the storage season
would protect the plants, but now
it is evident that infestation from field
sources is probable. Granting that
the grower has planted thrips-free
corms, the next step is to spray the
developing plants with a solution of
one pound of brown sugar and one
tablespoonful of paris green in three
gallons of water. At least treat
ments, 10 days apart, beginning when
the plants are 10 inches tall, are
needed to control the thrips. What
the future for the gladiolus is to be
is question, but one successful plant
breeder feels that it is possible to
develop thrips-resistant varieties. In
a preliminary trial this breeder OBJ
served wide differences in varietal
susceptibility.
For color and certainty of splendid
Midsummer display the gladiolus was
long the queen of Summer flowers. BY
planting different varieties and making
a succession of paintings it is possible
to have several weeks of gladiolus
bloom. The different varieties have
rather regular time requirements to
reach bloom and skilled exhibitors
plant their corms with definite shows
in mind.
There should be some very good
flowers at the Takoma show and
friends are invited to come to the
