exploits Of Russian flyers, especially the
trio which executed the non stop fight
from Moscow to the United States. have
made the deepest kind OF impression
IN Germany and Japan. In the event
OF hoStilities with either Of its powerful
nelghbors, the U. s. S. r. is known to
place paramount faith in its huge air
force. When MeSsrs. Beliakoff, Chkaloff
and Baidukon were in Washington this
week, they proudly told a luncheon
company OF newspaper men that there
are tens Of thousands of Soviet airmen
capable OF duplicating the great feat
which they themselves achieved Am
oaSsador Troyanovsky drew significant
analogy between confusion in time at
the North Pole and what is now going
on IN Russia. Just as the flyers we're
hazy about meridian time, the envoy
said. many people seem to be in con-
fusion about the present historical
time in the Soviet Union" Some of his
hearers thought the Ambassador was
pleading for withholding of interna-
tlonal Judgment until conditions in his
country are clarified

United States Navy is lending Brazil

What is the most dlsagreeable garden

What is the most disagreeable garden
task?
Spraying insecticides and fungicides,
without doubt.
Such work is Doth physically and
mentally boresome; it wearies those who
never stop to realize it, besides firing
their arms.
There are few tasks in the everyday
life, in or out OF garden, more tire
some than handling one of the smaller
sprayers.
The can OF spraying material is held
IN the left hand and the plunger, or
pump, operated with the right
This presupposes an amount of mus

Lugging around big heavy COM
pressed sprayer is not altogether the
pleasure the beginner amateur gardener
imagines it, either.
Using duster Is not an unmixed
blessing. Some of the dust is likely to
be inhaled; even the most careless work
er will find that to get dust on the
undersides OF leaves is no easy task.
The nuisance value of spraying must
be mentioned
At best, putting on insecticides and
fungicides, many of them of the most
poisonous materials, is not altogether a
bed Of roses, although that is precisely
where some of them must be used, of
course.
These sprays and powders are some
times OF an extremely poisonous nature.
Some are fish poisons, so-called, the
toxic powers Of which were discovered
by South American aborigines. Scientists
since have found out that many poisons
are combined in some of these purely
vegetable products"
Naturally they are tremendously re-
duced in power by dilution. either with
water, to form a spray, or with light
dust Of some sort to make powders for
use as busting materials.
Some Of these toxic materials find a
large use in flea powders. Some idea
OF their power may be had when it
Is realized that only l per cent OF the
material is active-the rest Is talcum
powder.
Lead, copper and other elements are
used in some sprays; all of these should
be handled with the greatest OF caution
with attention paid to warnings on
labels.
The necessity for spraying at all is
what gets one

there are so many bugs" of all kinds
that even the most determined gardener

He nnds himself in the unasked role
OF natural enemy of all of them
The true natural enemies of many OF
them are nowhere to be found; they
were left, perhaps, in the native habitat

and him alone, rests all the chance his
plants have of passing through the sea

The path we must take when we're on

Stormy, rutty, in truth
Yet with vigor and youth
You never need run to cover.
So tackle the strenuous Job Of life
With the courage to do and dare;
II you face hard storms and walk over

In the end you will get somewhere.
You have youth and pluck: E
