Huge Copper Exports
Indicated by Heavy
Foreign Buying
French Interests Place
Largest Order Since
World War Days
By the Associated Press.

-" N~~oOSA~sS~ .
NEW YORK, July 11.-Some of
the heaviest exports of copper from
United States mines in years were
forecast today in mining circles as
result of extensive buying the last
few days.
French interests were reported to
have placed with American COM
panies the biggest foreign order
since World War days-29, 900 tons.
1t was said this order would be SUD-
piled largely from metal mined in
this country. Previously French
users had ordered 2l,OO0 tons to be
obtained from foreign produced
supplies. The value of the COM
blned tonnage was put at S1l 100000.
Exports of domestic copper last
year increased to 125, 900 tons, the
largest since 1884, but market au-
thorities said the force of foreign
armament demand seemed to be
reaching the American market in
larger measure than ever before
since the arms race began. Revival
OF industry generally in England,
France, Germany and other coun-
tries. 1t was pointed out, has con-
trlbuted to record breaking con-
sumption of the metal abroad.
Since the copper-buying wave got
started at the end of June. total
sales were reported to have topped
$4,000 tons for the domestic mar
ket, the largest in a year or more.
Ihis total did not include the
French purchases.
Sales tapered off today, market
reports said, but the domestic price
held around 1925 cents a pound and
the export quotation around lO.4o
cents.
Amerlcan-mined copper domi-
mated the world markets for many
years until the development of low
cost producers in Canada and South
africa starting around 1929 and
1880. N

Eliminating Weeds
From Lawn Very
Difficult Task

The use of acid-reacting fertilizers
and the elimination of animal ma.
nure from lawn feeding are best
methods to produce weed-free lawns
yet. despite all our care, annual ano
perennial weeds will appear under
the best of lawn care.
Keeping the lawn closely clipped
will rid it of annual weeds. Clipping
twice week prevents the formation
of seed heads and in a year or two
annual weeds will be completely
eliminated. Perennial weeds such as
dandelion and plantain are more
difficult to eradicate. If they are not
too numerous. pulling the weeds out
by hand may eliminate them en-
tirely.
One of the most successful sprays
against these perennial weeds is
made by dissolving Ia pounds OF
iron sulphate in one gallon of water
Apply this spray to the weeds and
see that good dose is given to we'll
established plants. Repeat the oper-
alton every two weeks during the
growing season on all weeds which
appear.
Spray iron sulphate solution with
great care. See that none gets on
your clothing. buildings or painted
sarden-ware since it leaves an al
most indelible stain.

white lace gown? 1t is really lots
of fun to do this, and the lovely
pastel shades you can have will
please you.
Use coloring such as that used for
cake icing, or better, rinsible dyes.
Have three small bowls in the sink
to hold the three primary colors of
dye, red. yellow, blue. Look over
the stalks of lace weed, rejecting
all but the freshest and most per-
feet blooms. Hold each flower by
it's stem, dip its head in the cold
dye and then shake off excess mois-
ture. Put In vase of water.
The red dye will color the bloom
a pale pink; if you should want a
deeper pink dip again. When you
have as many of the three colors
as you wish, try dipping the blue
flowers into the yellow dye for
soft green, or change the blue to
mauve or amethyst by dipping into
the red bowl, or change yellow
one to a soft orange tint by giving
it bit of pink dye. You can exper-
iment and find almost any shade
you may wish.
Try filling a basket of graceful

Clenatis Is

Climber
G. paniculata Type
Is Hardy and Easy
TO Grow Here

We should speak of the clematis
as plants, although most of us think
OF them as climbers, since there are
shrubby forms of the clematis and
some that are used as pot plants.
The usual forms seen in this area.
however, are the climbers. We shall
conf1ne our remarks to the climbers.
The most widely grown form is
Clematis paniculata. It blooms in
late summer and is very conspic-
uous with its mass of tiny white
flowers that are delightfully."- fra

quently mentioned of the hybrids
and it was the forerunner of a
type-many hybrids having been
developed from the same species.
Some authorities claim it is still
the best of its color, a rich violet
purple. There are many named
hybrids-varying in color and flower
form.
G. montana. vigorous grower,
produces its large flowers in May
and June. It is not so widely
grown as those mentioned above.
The clematis family is we'll known
for Its diversity of form, color and
habit OF growth. The many hybrids
of recent development add further
interest to this group of plants.
The flowers rarge in size from a
half inch to more than 4 inches
across. The colors are equally va
ried and the blooming habit is
usually striking. Some varieties
produce mass of flowers that OBJ
scure the foliage. There are spring
Towering species. summer Towering
and one that flowers all season.
Most of the clematis make excel
lent covers for small trellises, stumps
and low fences. The virgins bower
is a vigorous grower. But the hy-
brids are now so rampant and fit
into the small yard very we'll, pro-
vlding summer bloom when few
other plants are in flower.
AS group the clematis require
a moist, well-drained, sweet soil.
Our heavy soils need quantities of
lime and well-rotted COW manure
or humus worked into them for Sue
cessful culture of the clematis.
While they do better in a not-too-
exposed situation, the more vigorous
types will Withstand exposure to
winter winds. The clematis will
grow and flower freely in full sun,
but do letter in a light shade.
In buying clematis, care should
be taken to secure disease-free
plants. They are subject to leaf
spot and stem rot. If the new
plants are clean, there is no need
to have trouble with them unless
they are planted in sour, wet soil.
The stem borer is sometimes
troublesome, but can be controlled
by digging out and destroying the
grubs.
Pruning is varied according to
habit of growth. Those that flower
on old wood are given a very light
pruning, while those that bear their
flowers on new wood may be cut
to the ground each spring.
