The smallest scrap Of yard" is util-
lied as an outdoor living room for
the hot evenings, and because of this
it is more than ever important to
realize what extra pleasure the well-lit
garden may bring.
This lighting business is not the job
one would think it to be. Most new
homes with gardens are installing out
lets along with the original plans, to
take care of the appliances. Houses
and gardens not so equipped can
easily be arranged with outlets to be run
from the house. And it isn't just a
matter Of setting up bulb on the

race steps-no. nowadays there are
special appliances and equipment mas

Various Agencies Will

THE Potomac Rose Society Is under,t.
taking a study Of It's membefsi
rose gardens in an effort to learn
more about rose growing in this area, :.
In connection with this study they
are recommending to members thatr
they send samples Of their soil TO |.
an agency equipped to make soil
analyses.
This service should be Of interest
to other gardeners. The taking of .
sample Is not dihicult. A letter sh0uId1
accompany the sample telling Of the
use being made Of the soil and of
the treatment heretofore given it. In
their report the agency will recon-
mend future treatment for the soil
that 1t may produce better results.
The instructions being sent out BY
the Rose Society for taking soil
sample were prepared by Mr.. Nathan
Cannon, jr., of the University pf
Maryland, and are as follows:
With a trowel or spade make f1ole
nve or six inches deep-thus v. Then
with the tool cut thin slice Of of
the straight side from top to bottom.
Gather up handful OF the, soil from
the spade or trowel and place n q
container. Go to two or three other
places in the garden and 60 through
the same steps. This will give rep
resentative composite sample Of the
gardens soil. Mix well. About one.
half pint is sufhcient for q sample.
A half-pint ice cream or other 1oa6-:
container Is a satisfactory package.
Mail the container to the University
of Maryland, Soils Department, Col.

The Old Gardener Soys:

Often in summer the water in
pools becomes Shiny and green.
This is caused by millions of tiny
plants called algae growing in the
water. This green slime can be
made to disappear, without injury
to the fish, by the careful use Of
copper sulphate. Only . very
small amount Of this chemical
should be used. About a tea
spoonful in q pool 10 by 10 feet
Is sufncient. Copper sulphate Is
very heavy and will sink to the
bottom Of the pool II allowed to
60 its own way. The best method
is to place the crystals in q cloth
bag and wave the bag In the sur
face Of the water for Q minute or
20. II each section Of the pool Is
treated in this manner the slime
should soon disappear. Danger
Of killing the fish is avoided II
the copper sulphate is not used
In large quantities and II it Is
not allowed to remain in the pool
for more than . short time.

Intelligence
Mound
Builders
THE uncanny intelligence and rea-

HE uncanny intelligence and rea-
soning power Of the common ant is
destructively displayed by the mound
building ant. This insect, rs the
Aame indicates, establishes itself In
colonies throughout the wooded Sec
tions Of the Eastern United States
where 1t does great harm. killing trees
outright.
It has been found that these ants
chew away the outer bark 1T the base
OF trees surrounding their nests, and
poison the cambium, or growing layers
Of the wood, with formic acid secre-
tfons. Although this killing is not
wanton, it Is deliberate. The purpose
In killing the trees is to prevent shad-
ing Of their nests.
Another species Of great concern to
tree owners Is the black carpenter ant.
Nesting in stumps or decaying por-
tions Of living trees to which it gains
entrance through knot holes or other
openings, this ant honeycombs the de-
cayed wood, and extends its galleries
deep into sound wood. This spreads
the decay rapidly, often leaving only
. hollow shell Of wood as support for
q limb or trunk.
Outside Of these two and the termite,
which is not . true ant, most Of the
numerous other species which We see
travelling resolutely over trees, shrubs
and flowers are comparatively harm
less.
In spite Of the admiration which
many Of us have for the stanch, SEN
sible character Of the ant, . word or
two here may be instrumental In saw
ing treasured tree from mound build
ers or carpenter ants.
Two methods Of control have pro-
duced best results in this field. Ants
may be poisoned by arsenic and sugar
compounds. or destroyed by fumiea-
ton. In the first method. the poison
Gus sweet Is placed in jar or can
with small opening which makes 1t
impossible for dogs or children to
reach, but readily accessible to the
food-seeking ant. Since workers carry
most Of the food they find home, .
fairly large colony may be destroyed
by few well-placed poison baits.
When quicker action Is indicated,
fumigation is the best method. Car
bon disulphide (rather than cyanide
compounds which are effective but
dangerous) Is ideal for this purpose
It is liquid which vsporizes very rap
idly and forms . heavier -than-air gas.

In cutting flowers take long stems.
There are many buds that will develop
following the removal Of the flower, in
most cases too many for the vigor OF the
plant. BY taking long stem the num-
Der Of buds will be more nearly the
number that the plant can support.
This is very true of roses and zinnias.
An infestation Of the iris borer may
be cleaned up by digging the iris, tear
ing the rhizomes apart, and cutting

Improvement
Research Workers
Have Done Much
To Help Matters.

THE good old days are gone when

out and forgotten save for hoeing, per-
haps some fertilizer and on rare oc-
casions = little water. Today with
our modern transportation system,
closely congested gardens and our
neighborU exchange Of plant material.
diseases and insects are plentiful and
their control Is . very important part
Of any gardeners activity. Actually,
there are only . few insects and dis
eases present today that were not
here q generation ago. Our methods
Of living and travel. however, have
increased their severity and destruct-
iveness. Many plants seem to have
been bred up to a point where they
produce splendid flowers, but are less
resistant to disease.
The research workers appreciate
this fact and are constantly at work
to develop new methods Of control,
including disease-resistant plants, new
spray material and new spraying
equipment. The old standards of con-
troll, such as lead arsenate and bor-
deaux, are being superseded by newer
and better chemicals. Today we have
on-poisonous sprays, such as the
pyrethrum and derris extracts. These
are being used to q considerable ex-
tent by home gardeners as insect con-
trols. They are too expensive, how
ever, for extensive commercial use
as yet.
The improvement in spray materials
has taken other angles-the prepara-
ton Of more toxic materials; ma
teriab which stay in suspension
longer 50 as to increase the efficiency
Of the operation and that give Q
greater coverage. Spray materials, to
give effective protection. must thor
oughly cover the foliage. The new
collodial sprays are reported to do
these things.
The research workers have not over
looked the home gardener who does
not Ike to spoil the appearance of his
garden by having to cover the foliage
with q conspicuous spray material.
The new sprays are very much less
conspicuous. Another benefit to the
home gardener is the combination OF
fungicides and insecticides now offered
In the retail stores. It was not rea-
sonable to expect the owner of q small
garden to buy and mix . number Of
chemicals. He had neither the knowl-
edge nor equipment necessary. And,
Is q rule. only q few gardeners made
the effort necessary to protect their
gardens. Now that combined fungi
cides and insecticides are available,
and dilution Is al that Is necessary to
start the spraying operation, there is
no reason why the garden should not
receive the needed protection.
In selecting . spray material for
your garden consider the following
points: Will it control the ordinary
plant disease and the chewing and
sucking insects? Does it discolor the
foliage? Is there danger Of burning
the foliage? and will it deteriorste
(the small garden does not require
very much spray material per appli-
cation)? Is 1t suitable for use on all
garden plants? What are the excep-
tions? At the most, two spray ma
terials should take care Of both dis
eases and insects and it should be
feasible to combine them 30 that one
application will give the garden COM
plete protection.
