Beetles Are
Lured by
Yellow
Tests Reveal Traps
Painted This Shade
Most Effective
UNITED States Department OF
Agriculture RelenSe.l


AS a result of tests last season by
the Bureau Of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine, traps used by field
workers of the bureau to capture
japanese beetles will be painted
yellow instead of the green and
white combination of former years
The tests seem to show conclu-
sively that yellow traps are decid-
edly more attractive to the beetles
than green and white traps and
that yellow traps may be expected
to catch so per cent more beetles.
Bureau officials said that their 1910
traps will be constructed of yellow
coated sheet metal and that State
organizations probably will repaint
their trap supplies in the beetle
preferred hue.
Since 1881 traps with green and
white tunnels and white battles
have been considered the most efec-
tive. Approximately $4,000 of these
have been used each summer in the
bureaus scouting" work to detect
any beginning infestations outside
of the areas quarantined on account
of the pest in the New England and
Middle Atlantic States. Traps on
the market revealed wide variation
in the shades of green. To deter
mine which shade of green was most
attractive, the bureau started COM
parative test of various shades of
green and also included the other
principal colorS in the test.
Results of this test showed that
traps painted yellow caught about
so per cent more beetles than traps
painted entirely white or green, or
those with these colors combined.
Addition of yellow pigment to almost
any paint made it more attractive,
but the traps that caught the great
est number of beetles were those
painted with what is known as pri-
mary yellow. This is pure yellow,
considerably deeper than a lemon
yellow, and approximates the popu-
lar idea of June butter color.

Turn Compost Pile
At Intervals of
Once a Month

If you plan to do much gardening
next year-especially starting plants
in pots-you can make good use Of
the leaves now by covering the
ground with them if you live in
colder sections of the country. Those
leaves are valuable assets to a
compost pile. Most gardeners can
find room for such a pile Of soil and
decaying matter. Yet they hide it
from the gaze of visitors and neigh
bors. No gardener should under
take to keep one unless he plans to
turn it regularly, for unless q COM
post pile is turned regularly during
the time the materials composing
in it are breaking down. the texture
will not be even nor will all the soil
have the same degree of richness.
Rectangular piles are best and
there need be no great space set
aside for the operation. A pile by
3 feet and 2 feet high will satisfy
the needs of most small gardening
activities. Start the pile with a g.
inch layer of soil, dust a handful
of ammonium sulphate on this and
then build up the pile with equal
quantities of leaves and soil. Scoop
out a large depression in the center
and fill it with water, then dust the
top with ammonium sulphste.
Keep the pile on the wet side, not
soggy, however. Turn the pile when.
ever you feel the need of exercise.
but never make intervals longer
than a month. BY spring the soil
will be much improved and it can
be used for potting. Many of the
leaves will not have broken down by
this time but that does not seem to
reduce the soils value in a large
measure. If you can wait until the
second spring the soil will be in
almost perfect condition for even
the most delicate seedlings.

Many young budgeteers, in plan
ming a new home. are at a loss as
to the amount they should allow in
their budget for the planting and
upkeep of the grounds around a
home.
While there can be no hard and
fast rule for this, as, of course,
much depends on the individual, his
likes and dislikes in recreation, and
type Of planting desired, good
general rule is: Allow for the plant
ing of the home grounds about
one-tenth of the investment in the
house and lot. For instance, if your
home dot and building cost ap-
proximates $1,000, make an allow
ance of $500 for planting cost. This
should include lawn, shrubs, hedges,
foundation planting, small fruits,
fruit trees, shade trees. architectural
details such as pergolas. trellises,
garden seats, and special features
such as pool, rose garden or rock
garden.
sum yearly equal to one-tenth of
the investment in planting. In this
instance, allowance annually for
upkeep-feeding. replacement of dead
or wornout plants, acquisition of
new desirable plants, pruning, spray
ing, etc, would be $50.
On first thought, this might seem
like an exorbitant sum to set aside
for development of the grounds. but
if the soil is properly prepared, if
good plants are purchased, if they
are planted as they should be, if a
complete balanced plant food is in
corporated when preparing the soil,
if competent labor is employed for
planting properly, you will find this
will not be more than adequate.
OF course, it is not at all neces-
sary that the entire planting be

seed the lawn, put in foundation

and plant shade trees.
The second year you might plant
boundary hedges, screen paintings,
vines, fruit trees, small fruits, and
install necessary architectural de-
tails such as trellises, pergolas, bird
baths.
The third year plant perennial
flowers and vegetables; develop a
pool, rose garden, herb garden or

slant interest, and when all your
plans are completed, even though it
may take 10 years, you will really
have something of which to be
proud.
Do not stint on thorough initial
preparation of your soil. If you
have certain amount of money to
spend and your soil is very poor,
spend one-half or even more of
the available sum upon soil prepara-
tion-proper drainage, deep digging,
incorporation of sufficient organic
matter. incorporation of complete

you have with the plants you are
able to purchase will convince you

Miniature roses are hardy and
easy to grow. They can be planted
in any well-cared-for flower bed
where they will not be shaded or
overrun by plants that grow larger.
In either bed or border, space them
8 to II inches apart, depending
upon the effect desired. They need
no special conditions-just sunshine,
good drainage and an average soil.
They require the same care as
the hybrid tea roses. watering as
needed during very dry summer
and hilling up in fall for winter
protection. Prune to within two
inches of the ground each spring to
keep the plants compact.
These tiny roses are rapidly gain
Ing in popularity for use in sunny
rock gardens. Tiny they are, but
they need no petting. They are just
as perfect as large roses and quite
as sturdy. All of them, including the
parent, Rosa Rouletti, grow about
s inches tall. except Baby Gold
Star. This one will grow to inches.
They all are of bushy compact form.
Pixie, with lace-like foliage, has
tiny white buds, no larger than a
grain of corn, each of which opens
up to a full petaled bloom about an
inch across-sometimes white, some
times pink, depending on the season.
Tom Thumb, with its crimson, semi
double tiny flowers that can open
up in a thimble, Is a continuous
bloomer. Baby Gold Stars rich
yellow blooms will add color interest
to the rock garden. Rosa Rouletti
has tiny rose-pink, double blooms
with bushy foliage. They all are
quite hardy and bloom from early
summer until frost-long after most
rock garden plants have ceased
blooming. They are gems-use them
freely in the rock garden this fall.
Where garden space Is limited they
may be planted in pots and porch
boxes to add charm to intimate sur
roundings.
While miniature roses are not
strictly house plants, they can be
grown successfully by a good indoor
gardener. The ideal location is a
sunny window or sun porch where
the temperature is moderate and
fairly constant Water lightly, TAX
ing care never to allow the soil to
become dry. If the house is hot and
dry, causing pots to dry out rapidly,
a glass bowl inverted over the plants
part of the day will prevent the
rapid drying out of soil and foliage.
Please do not let pots stand in water
roses resent this. Usually they
are free from pests, but if plant lice
or aphis bother, these can be con-
trolled by spraying with retenone
or nicotine sulphate. When the
weather els warm enough in the
spring, transplant to an outdoor
location.
When greenhouses or conservatory
facilities are available. the plants
may be brought in during the late
fall for winter blooming Plants
should be rested before bringing in
doors.

Rhubarb Plants

Rhubarb roots can be set late In
September. Prepare a place for
them by digging the ground deeply
and working in some old manure or
liberal supply of pulverized sheep
manure. New rhubarb plants are
easily made by splitting up old
roots, and if the clump is of fairly
good size, stalks for cutting will be
available next spring. Spread a

is FACT, DIES SAYS

San Francisco, Aug. 2l.-(AP)-
Americans were warned yesterday by
Congressman Martin Dies that their
i, first line of defense against foreign
invasion should be protection against
an invasion by fifth columniStS
which already has taken place.
The chairman Of the congressional
: committee investigating un-Amefl-
can activities said he favored pre-
parednesS and national defense, but
l can't understand why certain per-
sons are trying to scare the American
people with talk about an outright
military invasion, when those per-
sons are not doing anything about
! the invasion which already has taken
place.
All this talk about sending Amer
lean troops or ships to help the Eng
ilish is foolish. We have our hands
full right here"
Dies said ne would demand, in
a speaking tour across the nation
that President Roosevelt and Wen
del! Willllie state "uncquivocally"
whether they favored outlaWing FOR
eign-controlled" political organiza-
tons, and whether they favored job
preference for Americans.
| Dies said he would ask Congress
! for 100000 more to continue inveS-
/ LEGATIONS, including about 81 days on
the west coast.
| Secret sessions were held here.
The congressman said the next pub
lie session probably would be IN
New York next Monday.
He set this date in response to d
telegram from Congressman Thomas,
Republican, New Jersey who re-
queSted public hearings in Newark,
n. j., after he said about 1000 per-
sons attended a meeting OF the Ger
man-American bund, the Ku klux
Khan and other organizations at
Camp Nordland N. j., Sunday.
Dies expressed the hope several
film figures would appear before
him.
He sent invitations to James Gag
ney, Melvyn Douglas, Franchot Tone
and Philip Dunn. They were men
toned in a list of alleged Communist
sympathizers given by John l.. Leech,
former Communist to the Los An
geles county grand jury.
Both Cagney and Douglas issued

these things were the very imple-
ments of Satan. They weren't
medicines, they were drugs, and
worse than that, they were poi
sons, and they upset the stomach
and did all sorts of things to the
insides and the doctors who gave
them were trying to ruin the
world.
"The Needle"
Then the doctors invented the
hypodermic syringe and began to
give drugs "parenterally," as it is
called, and then they got very SCI
entifc and began to give vacclnes
and antiserums. Then by and by
another set of cranks arose and
they were all against vaccines and
serumS.
This brief excursion into medi-
cal history was suggested by some
discussion current in medical jour
nails concerning the possibility of
curing hay fever by swallowing
small amounts of potassium chic
ride. In all the schemes for the
treatment of hay fever that have
held the stage for the last twenty
five years, little has been said
about medicines either by mouth
or even applied to the nose. As de-
scribed in the column yesterday,
the approved and successful treat
ment is based on the idea of Great
ing immunity to the pollens which
cause hay fever by injecting vac
cines hypodermically.
Some Success
The results of this form of
treatment have been quite sue
cessful, but it admittedly is, to say
the least, cumbersome. 1t involves
going to the Doctors Office every
few days for weeks on end-so
that you get to know the doctor or
the technician in his office almost
better than you do your own fam
lily. This also takes up time, if
time is a factor. And the treat
ments, while they couldn't be
called painful, do involve hypoder-
mics and annoyances like that.

wondering if there wasn't some
