Care in Transplanting


TRANSMITTING is an impor-
! tant activity in almost every
garden, but a gardener will save
time and possible disappointment
If he knows what should and what
should not be transplanted.
The following should not be
moved: Celosia, didiscus (blue
lace flower), four o'clock, hume
mania, and perennial sweet pea.
Because of their peculiar root
growth, these flowers are dam
aged, sometimes even killed, when
transplanted.
Flowers which may be trans
planted with little fear of dam
age, as long as the moving is done
properly, include ageratum, alys-
sum, snapdragon, aster, calendu-
la, marigold, pansy, petunia,
pinks, saliva, scabiosa, verbena,
Canterbury bells, columbine, hol-
lyhock, pyrethrum and viola.
There is third division of flow
ers, according to Harry A. JOY,
flower expert of the Ferry Seed
Breeding Station, whose lives will
not be endangered by transplant
ing, but whose growth will be
stunted. Both plant and blossoms
will be smaller but earlier. Lark
spur, zinnia, phlox, nasturtium
and bachelor button are in this
group.

Cruelty, Desertion Principal Charges
 For Marital Rifts
Six Decrees Granted in Yesterdays Session Indicative of Growing Business in Divorce Cases-Unusuar
 Reasons Cited in Complaints

vorce cases on yesterdays short calender docket the judge denying one petition and reserving decision on another.
 The lawyers also called attention to the fact that at the short calen- dar list of last Friday and the Erie day before that there seven divorce actions on each list.
 It is also 0 most noticeable fact by court reporters that the Jan- uary term of the Superior Court cannot help but become clogged with divorce actions. It is an un- usual day when at least one divorce action is not filed and most days there are two, three, or more.
 "Tntolerable cruelty" is the main ground on which most actions are brought and the cruelty alleged in the cases covers almost the entire field in the cruelty line. For in- stance in one case yesterday the cruelty alleged on the part of Q husband was that he was forging his wife's name to checks and also taking money by questionable means from his mother.in-law.
 Tn another case the cruelty ale legged was the fact that the woman's husband is serving Q one to three year sentence is states prison for rape. Tn still another case the charge was that the husband called his wife names and threw her out of her home.
 The above are Just @ few exampl- es Of the type of cases that arc be- ing heard.
 The cause for the sudden rise in the divorce filed market, the lawyers agree, is one for the experts to decide.

Bowdagger claims that old-time Yankees were stonewall special istS. He says that an average days work laying fairly good stone was two rods of finished wall, The landowner furnished the stone, a pair of cattle. and one helper; tho wall-layer did the rest, There was poetry Of motion in an expert stcnewall-iayer. He never picked up q stone unless he had e place to put it. Stonewall-layeis used plenty Of elbow grease and good hard cider. Their walls endured through fire and frost.
 Back in the old days when votes could be bought for tive dollars each, town officials went In for road-buildlng in . serious way. They had no surveyors t0 set grades, no government inspectors to test the surface, but they did follow old game trails and cow paths, and they managed Co whack Out c trail between here and there that served It's purpose well. South Britain Parish has . lot of those old roads, shady path ways to sunny hillt0ps, or stream side trails where the POOtGt Gtucks once roamed. Road upkeep is more expensive than it used to be and sometimes these old roads become burdensome tO the tax payers. The weather closes some of the old roads, the selcctmen close others, if they are properly approached. According to legend, one formerly popular road was closed not so long age t0 the detriment Of property owners along the right-of-way. Thia par tIcular road chanced t0 pass lands that fell Into the hands 0f new conner. The man built himself an estate and made his case at town meeting, where opposition de- yeloped. RumVr has 1t that the new arrival faced defeat, until he attended church locally, and then the road was quietly closed to all traffic.
 Attendance at meetings of the milk co-ops Is stimulated by the donation of merchandise prizes. free refreshments, and a question box where the embattled farmers can air their feelings by asking pointed questions.

Fishing through -the-ice-season is here again. That's 0 sport that has never been followed by either college boys or pansies. A man has to have hair on his chest to enjoy ice fishing. This year we hear Q lot about the various ponds that have been closed for the sea- son, but the conservationis;s haven't shut-up Hesky Meadow or Lake Zoar. Last Sunday Q party on Hesky Meadow got the biggest haul ever snagged from that pond since Nate Evarts captured two snap turtles weigh ing forty pounds each.
 Somebody named Odell Shep- ard recently wrote book about Connecticut in which he argued at great length about the stonewalls in our woodlands. Odell claims that Q stonewall in the woods shows that men once titled that land, raised . crop, and supported Q family. That author should have conducted his research" under the able direction of men like our Franklyn Rowland or Bowdagger Harrison. Yankees built stone- walls in the woods for boundary fences. Never having had the ad- vantage of college training, our ancestors realized that woodland sometimes catches fire and that fire doesn't burn stone. Bound line fences Of stone stand the gaff, and they're hard to move. If MT. Shepard had taken the trou. blc to look at the land enclosed by some of those woodland st0ne- walls, he would have discovered that even Q goat couldn't get . living off such acreage, let alone Q Yankee.
