FULL DINING ROOMS
OFTEN SUBSTITUTED

Sometimes a dining alcove" OF
"breakfast nook takes the place OF
a full-sized dining room, says Miss
Jessie D. Hinton, home management
specialist for the University of Mary
land extension service. It may be a
part of the living room or kitchen or
may be located between these two
rooms.
According to Miss Hinton, it is pos
sible to furnish an alcove of this
type entirely with built-in fittings.
All that is needed is a table surface
and two long benches for seats. The
walls Of the alcove usually form the
backs of the benches, and storage
space may be built under them. The
table may rest on saw-buck type of
base and be made to tilt. 1t may be
constructed simply with four legs, or
1t may be hinged to the wall at one
end and have folding legs at the other.
In larger dining room dish closets
or cabinets are often built into the
walls as the house is going up. They
add to the decorative effect without
greatly increasing the cost and are
useful for china, glassware, pewter or
silver. Sometimes a Sideboard of the
Welsh type with open shelves for
interesting pieces of tableware can
be installed during building or added
later. Corner cabinets and dish clos
cts are easily built for any home, old
or new
Drawers or sliding trays for linen
and silver are sometimes designed to
f1t into the lower part of a corner
cabinet. The drawer for silver is
usually partitioned and lined with
soft material, such as velvet or felt.
One of the greatest conveniences in
. mederate-sized room is a pass closet
or cabinet in the wall between the
dining room and the kitchen. On
the dining room side this may appear
as an ordinary closet door, which.
when opened shows the dish shelves
extending through to the kitchen. In
one old home closet was used in
this way. The door was sawed in
half. and the shelves below serving
level made fine storage spaces for
bulky equipment, such as the toaster,
waffle iron and coffee pot

cases, the flower stalks have remained
below ground. 1t has truly been a
topsy turvy season, the after results
Of which will be followed anxiously
by home gardeners. Fortunately there
is such a diversity Of Towering plants
that part may be destroyed without
complete loss of beauty to the garden
enterprise.
Pruning Shrubs.
pRUN1NG appears to have a power
full appeal to many home garden
ers as the days begin to warm up in
March and April. There seems to be
temptation to trim up each and
every bush in the garden irrespective
of its habits of blooming and growth.
Rather frequently some Of the Spring
flowers go into the brush pile with
the other prunings. This may well
be true in the case of the forSythia,
deutzia, lilac, bridal wreath, mock
orange and other early Spring bloom
ers. These should be left strictly alone
until after blooming time, except per-
haps to remove broken branches or
dead wood if one is to have graceful,
dropping shrubs, such as all admire
On the other hand, plants which
bloom on new growth, such as the
ordinary monthly blooming bush roses,
the butterfly bush or buddleia, the
paniculata hydrangea and the rose
of Sharon, need pruning before
growth begins in Spring in order to
develop strong, vigorous Towering
wood
On the whole, pruning is rarely a
beneficial process, except where it
removes weak wood. Fruit trees, for
example, which are severely pruned
again and again while young, come
into bearing late and never make as
large trees as those which are lightly
pruned. The grape is one exception,
since without pruning it will quickly
revert into a tangle of unproductive
wood.

WITH patents granted to the eX-
tent of more than 200 in number,

American horticulturists are taking

BRONZE PAINT REDUCES
RADIATORS EFFICIENCY

Tests made at the University Of
Michigan disclose the fact that radia-
tors coated with bronze lose Is per
cent in efficiency, while oil paints or
enamel do not retard normal radia-
ton. Radiators finished with bronze
may be restored to normal efficiency
simply by adding an oil-paint coat
ing. Radiators painted to match walls
are less conspicuous and more in har-
mony with surroundings.
In the newly constructed houses
radiation is hidden as much as pos
sible. In the modernization of dwell
ings an effort is made to conceal ex-
isting radiators. This may be done
by covering them with benches, or
adding shelves at the top or on either
side.

FARM TENANTS
LOW IN FAIRFAX
Except for Arlington, County
Has Best Showing in
Northern Virginia.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

~ReCidi LlSpdICQ 10 Inc star,
FAIRFAX, Va, March 20.-Exclu-
slve Of Arlington, which cannot be
considered an agricultural county,
Fairfax County ranks lowest in the
percentage of tenant-operated farms
in Northern Virginia, report pre-
pared by the Resettlement Admins
tration reveals.
The State as a whole has more than
$4,000 tenant farmers, the report
shows, and approximately 80 per cent
OF all farms are tenant-operated
Fairfax County is listed as having 294
tenant families, and Is per cent ten
ant-operated farms.
Prince William County, with total
OF 218 tenant families, has 16 per cent
tenant-operated farms and Loudoun
County ranks third with 426 such
families and 20 per cent tenant
operated farms.
Terming tenancy, with its attendant
land abuses and rural poverty, a Seri-
GUS threat to the agricultural welfare
or the State, the report sets forth that
many are receiving rehabilitation aid
in the form of supervised loans from
the Government. The report further
asserts that such loans are regarded
AZ an important beginning in the
movement to halt the growth of ten
ancy and provide basis for increased
farm ownership.
Illustrating conditions in other
sections of the State, the report lists
Southampton County, in the South
eastern part of the State, as leading
in tenancy, with 81 per cent of all its
farms operated by tenants The
county has 2,014 tenant families.
On the other hand, Gloucester
County ranks lowest in percentage of
tenants-5 per cent. York County has
6 per cent and Mathews, Stafford and
Warwick each have 8 per cent. The
latter county also ranks lowest in the
number of tenant families, its total
being but 10,
Pittsylvania County, with 4,373
tenant farmers, ranks first in the
State. Other counties having high
tenant percentage include: Accomac,
So per cent; Halifax, SO per cent;
Plttsylvania, So per cent; Isle of
Wight and Northampton, Sd per cent;
Mecklenburg, So per cent, and Green
vile and Charlotte Counties, so per
cent.
Although not an agricultural county,
Arlington is listed with tenant
families and II per cent tenant-oper-

berry, raspberry and many others.
Usually the originator Of new plant
sells the patent rights to some COM
mercial firm able to propagate and
distribute the new plant effectively.
This Is why large rose nurseries may
have many different patented roses.
The question Of whether or not
1t pays to buy bargain roses and
other plants is one for which it is
possible to present arguments on
either side. William H. England,
president Of the Potomac Rose So
ciety, thinks not and cites an oc-
casion in which he bought some low
priced roses and got with them a
wealth Of black spot disease. Others
have had more fortunate experiences,
but, on the whole, il one can pos
sibly afford to buy the better quality
plants, it is the safe policy.
Notwithstanding the cartoonists'
viewpoint, home gardeners obtain a
lot OF pleasure from the study Of the
SEED and nursery catalogues. Most
gardeners soon learn that 1t is almost
impossible to attain the perfection
often depicted and described in the
catalogue, but it is very interesting to
follow the new developments in flowers
and vegetables. Of recent years, ad-
vancement has been very rapid be-
cause several Of the seedsmen are now
employing trained plant breeders. It
Is amazing how, in very few genera
tfons OF hybrididng and selection,
rather mediocre flowers such as the
zinnia and marigold have been con.
Verted into very attractive gardening
material. Every true gardener tests a
few OF the new varieties each year
with the object OF improving his
garden.
Many an otherwise useless apple or
pear tree has been converted into a
valuable tree by the simple art of
grating. Young, vigorous shoots Of
Two or three buds cut from a desirable
tree in neighbor's yard can be made
to grow If inserted in the cleft end
OF limb of the same species. The
shoot, known as cion, must be sharp
ened to wedge at its lower or thicker
end and SO placed in the cleft that
its bark contacts that Of the cleft limb.
Then the cut surfaces should be COW
cred with paraffin or with commercial
grating wax. If the cions are fresh
and still in the bud stage, the per-
centage Of survival will be large, even
for the beginner. Several cions should
be inserted in tree If the transforma-
tion OF variety is to be rapid.

active ever since the beginning

~ to need attention in the Spring
~ is the lawn. Grass technolo-
gistS tell us that in this vicin-
ity March Is to April is a very desir-
able time to fertilize the established
balanced commercial material to each
1000 square feet Of area. One need
not actually measure the lawn, but it
is advisable to check the area fairly
accurately by pacing or otherwise. A
fertilizer with a formula of 4 per cent
nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid
and per cent potash may well be
classed as good and approximates
fairly well what the usual garden
supply store carries in stock 1t Is
possible to obtain moderate priced
fertilizer distributors but most home
gardeners resort to hand distribution,
choosing a quiet day and walking
slowly. 1t may be easier to dilute the
fertilizer with an inert material, such
as peat moss or sand.
The facts of the matter are that
blue grass, our most desirable lawn
grass, makes its heavy growth in
April and May and, for this reason,
late March is the best time to fertilize.
Many lament the fact that COW manure
is no longer readily available for the
lawn, but second thought will bring
to mind that with the usual COW or
horse manure there come innumerable
weed seeds, such as chickweed, gill
run over the ground, crab grass and
what not. Some of the pulveriZed
manures have been heated and are
reasonably free of seeds. However,
there is still much to be said for the
balanced commercial material since it
contains abundant phosphorus and
potash as well as nitrogen.
Lining lawns is often overdone, for
it is possible to change the reaction
with lime to a point unfavorable to
ed to thrive best at point slightly
below neutral. An application of
lime every three or four years should
be ample to maintain well drained
lawn soils at satisfactory reaction
point. Liberal annual feeding with
good fertilizer is most important of
all in maintaining the lawn in good
condition.
Many have been astonished at the
amazing growth made by new lawns
throughout this past Winter. In fact,
grass plots on the south side of Ger
tain public buildings had to be moved
in January and February. For the
most part, this strong growing grass
was largely Italian rye grass, which
