Of top soil should be placed over the

The Mexican bean beetle continues

gardens and, although no longer in
epidemic form, II sufnciently asgres-
siye to need attention. For snap
beans, the pods Of which are to be

lent In the small home garden. In
larger paintings pyrethrum is rather
expensive and may be replaced In the
earlier treatments by magnesium
arsenate dust or spray.
Aphids still continue to infest the
tender shoots Of roses and should be
DESTROYED with either nicotine gulphate
or with pyrethrum compounds. Con-
tinued sucking Of the plant Juices Is
certain to damage the plants for
Autumn blooming.
The restoration Of vigor to weak
ened rose bushes Is difdcult and, In
most cases. it Is more advisable to dis
card the plants and replace them with
strong new stock. This ID especially
true In the case Of plants injured by
low temperature, for 1t is quite posi-
bic that the roots may have been
damaged also.
Crab grass lawns are all too numer-

The Graceful Abelia.
ONE Of the incest Of the Summer
~ Towering shrubs Is the graceful
abelia, with its numerous flowers Of
dainty pink produced over q long sea-
son. There are widespread paintings
Of this shrub in various Of the public
gardens about the city. and wherever
planted the abelia Is admired for its
reddish-green foliage and dainty
blooms. Very fortunately, the abelia is
harder than the Grape myrtle, pos
sibly because of q more Northern
origin. Bailey, in his Encyclopedia OF
Horticulture, ascribes the origin OF
most Of the species to Central Asia,
making one more Of our shrubs with
an Asiatic background. DR.. Bailey
adds that propagation is usually by
greenwood cuttings placed under glass
and also by hardwood cuttings taken
in Autumn. Seed is said to be rela-
lively rare.
A Promising Milkweed.
A MONG native plants that deserve
consideration as garden subjects
is the common butterfly weed, Asclep-
las tuberose. It's orange blooms may
be seen now along country roads and
in fields and it matters little whether
1t Is q dry or rainy Summer, the fow-
ers are produced with unusual regular
ity. Some OF the commercial growers
have recognized the possibilities OF
this plant and include it among their
lists Of cultivatable plants, particu-
larly well adapted to dry situations.
As the species name tuberosa sug-
gests, the plant forms an enlarged
f!eshy root which seems to sustain the
plants during unfavorable periods. It
Is not easy to take plants from the
wild and expect them to live in the
garden unless one digs them in late
Autumn or very early Spring. One Of
the better ways would be to mark the

Garden Notes.
T Asst Spring some home gardeners
may have decided that certain OF
their narcissus paintings needed re-
novating or that some varieties should
be replaced by newer and choicer
varieties. Now, as the foliage has
died down, but stin marks the rows, "a
a very desirable time to dig the mar
cissus bulbs. After . few hours dry
ing In partial shade. the bulbs should
be placed in baskets and set away in
the cellar or any dry, darkened place
or they may be graded for size and re-
planted at once. According to b. Y.
Morrison, in . talk delivered before
the woodbridge Garden Club in April,
the secret Of fine narcissus flowers is
the preparation Of the soil before
planting the blubs and no amount Of
subsequent surface fertilizing or tillage
can produce the fine blooms obtained
by careful preplanting treatment. A
trench or bed should be excavated to
the depth Of o foot or more and the
bottom filled . few inches with soil

~ NE Of the strange experiences
that the home gardener may
have to contend with is the
~ changing Of color In the hy-
drangea, commonly known as hy-
drangea hortensis and now in bloom
in many gardens. One sees all shades
of color from clear pink to clear blue
and various blends thereof. The color
of this hyorangea has been found by
certain Of the agricultural experiment
stations to be associated with the
acidity Of the soil and more exactly
with the free aluminium in the soil.
Most any treatment that makes the
soil more acid tends to release free
aluminium. There Is q measure of
truth in the popular assumption that
iron In the form Of old nails or other
such materials tends toward blue hy-
drangeaS, but this Is slow and in
direct way Of accomplishing the OBJ
jective. One reason why blue is diff
cult to obtain Is that hydrangeas are
often planted near the walls of the
house, where the roots are Influenced
by the lime in the cement foundations
Recently Cornell University tested
number Of substances, aluminium
sulphate, peat moss. ferrous sulphate,
copper sulphate, magnesium sulphate
and manganous sulphate rs agents for
promoting blue color in the hydrangea
and came to the conclusion that the
aluminium sulphate Is by far the most
effective material. Five applications
Of az per cent aluminium sulphate
solution applied to the soil of potted
plants at weekly intervals were found
sufacient to produce blue flowers.
Plants given 10 applications were re-
duced in vigor, showing that 1t Is pos
sible to overdo the proposition. In
fact, the roots were injured with the
1G applications. 1t was found that
some varieties were more amenable to
treatment than were others.
If, on the other hand. one prefers
the clear pink flowers, applications of
hydrated lime to the surrounding soil
will help maintain this color. Strangely

Seek To Increase
States Supply OF
Wild Turkeys Now

Raleigh, July 28-Wild turkeys once
plentiful throughout North Carolina,
would be restored in appreciate
numbers in all remaining suitable
haunts, providing increased sport for
residents of the State, and attracting
an increasingly large number of nom
residents under plans announced to-
day by j. D. Chalk, State game and
inland fisheries commissioner.
The special program has been APP
proved by Director r. Bruce Ether
idge and the Board of Conservation
and Development and is expected to
be in full swing by next spring with
preliminaries carried out during the
current year and perhaps a small be-
ginning.
Approval or the expenditure of up
to $4,000 in an effort to make North
Carolina the outstanding state in the
nation for wild turkey hunting has
been given by the conservation board,
with details to be arranged by the
game commissioner.
Mr.. Chalk stated that arrangements
have already been made with the u.
S. Biological Survey for a pure strain
of wild turkey stock from Bulls Is
land, near Charleston, S. c., and the
Okeefenokee Swamp in Georgia. This
stock is expected to be ready for de-
livery as soon as equipment is avail
able.
The main activities of the project
will center around the State Farm
near Fayetteville and the game farm
operated in connection with the Mt
Mitchell Game Refuge in Yancey
county. Brooder houses and rearing
pens are already under construction
at the Cumberland county station and
will be made available at Mt. Mitchell
Production at the state farms will
be augmented from a similar station
being constructed at the Sandhills Re
settlement project near Hoffman in
Richmond county.

"Carolina rice though not grown in

"Onslow county hams, if standards

would prevail over Western and Vir-
ginia hams.
"Likewise," Russell points out,
"other Carolina products could be adj
vertised and sold the county over"
In communication to r. w.
Graeber, extension forester at State
College, on the subject of regional
planning, Russell says that "it is self
evident that if one out of five coun-
ties disregards it's forests and allows
it's top soil, humus, and the very life
of the land to be burned, that land

100000 EXPECTED
AT LEGION MEETING
National Convention Set for
September 2O-25 in
Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland, O., July 2S.-Making the
trek from every section of the coun-
try members of the American Legion
will converge upon Cleveland Sept.
20 to 25 in record numbers for their
18th national convention.
Registrations for the colorful con-
clave at this time promise an all-time
peak attendance well above the 100000
marx. Weeks away from the conven-
ton date registrations have been run
ming three to four times heavier than
at the same period in previous years.
Always picturesque, the great Lee
gion parade, Forty and Eight pro-
cession and thrilling drum and bugle
corps contests now will have for
striking background the brilliant-hued
exhibition halls of the Great Lakes
Exposition and Cleveland's vast Sta
,,ium.
A fortune will be represented in
the value of the equipment carried by
the drum and bugle corps competing
here A conservative estimate places
the investment close to a million dol
lars.
One of the numerous reunions sche-
duled in connection with the conven-
ton will bring to the city probably
the greatest assemblage of air heroes
in American Legion history.

but without enthusiasm, and while

two men.
