Garden Accessories

Sundials and birdbaths make in
teresting and effective adjuncts to
even the small garden. There are
any number of types available, at
prices to fit every purse. Birdbaths
should be chosen that have a rim
large enough for the birds to sun
themselves dry, and a shallow bowl
is to be preferred to a deep one. A
pedestal is a help in protecting the
birds from cats and other maraud-
ers. Keep the bowl clean and filled
with fresh water daily during dry
weather.
Sundials must be carefully placed
to be sure to catch the rays of the
sun at an angle that records the
correct time. A little study of con-
ditions will insure this, and put the
sundial to the practical use for
which it originally was designed-to
tell time.

Strong>Growing
Perennial Has
Fine Blooms.
More Appreciation
Should Be Given
To This Plant
By A. G.. Mclean

Il y ~ u II LtuU
One of the perennials that is in
bloom now, when there is sometimes
a dearth in garden flowers, is peren-
nial pea or Lathyrus. While this old
fashioned plant is widely cultivated,
gardeners wonder If 1t Is appreciated
as much as it should be. This
strong growing perennial Is a low
climber, seldom more than or 8
feet high. One often sees it grow
ing naturally in a tangle, and 1t
will maintain itself and smother
out most weeds, for it is a rank
grower
The blooms of perennial peas re-
semble somewhat those of sweet
peas. The separate flowers are
slightly smaller. borne in clusters
and scentless. They are quite useful
for home decoration. If the faded
flowers are kept picked off this plant
will bloom for quite long period,
starting in early June and ending in
August. But if it is allowed to set
seed it will soon stop blooming. The
flowers run in colors from purple
and pink to pure white.
Perennial peas are easily raised
from seed. The seeds are slow to
germinate from spring sowing. SO
fall planting Is recommended This
perennial belongs to the legume or
pea family and will grow we'll on
poor soils. Once established, the
vines make strong, dense growth
and smother out weeds.
At one time Lathyrus was thought
of as forage crop. but it does not
yield as much forage as alfalfa and
is not as palatable. 1t has been
largely abandoned for this purpose,
but as an ornamental, where a
semi-climber can be used or where
there are waste places to cover,
perennial peas fit well.
There are numerous other peas
that are quite Snowy. but this is
probably the best of the lot for gen.
eral cultivation. The pea family is
large one. and if you like the idea
of collecting plants many OF them
are we'll worth growing.

Earthworms Useful
In Some Instances

The earthworm lives In any moist
soil containing decaying organic
matter. 1t crawls out when its bur-
rows are filled with water as dur
ing heavy rain, and also at night
time to feed. 1t eats the soil through
which it burrows, breaking down
and dissolving bacteria, and organ
ic matter with dts digestive juices.
The remainder which is indigestible
is left in the form of castings on
the surface Of the soil 1t has been
estimated that earthworms in a
single acre of land bring $4,000 lbs.
of soil to the surface in a year. This
type of cultivation or soil working
and conditioning is of very great
value in the vegetable or flower gar
den, and no effort should be made
to remove the worms.
With the lawn, however the pres
ence of the earthworm is an en-
tirely different story. Many lawn
troubles are traceable directly to
the presence of too many worms
They cause numerous unsightly
bumps on the surface of the soil,
and may often cause the drying out
of the grass through their burrows.
They can, and should be eliminated
from the lawn.
There is a worm killing grass
food on the market. or one pound of
lead arsenate may be mixed with a
peck of soil or compost and distrib-
uted at the rate of lbs. to each 1000
50. IT. of lawn. In either case apply
the remedy when 1t is raining, or
else wash it in we'll with the hose
The worms will come to the surface
and die. If the soil is very heavy a
second application may be neces-
sary. or if the remedy is used late
in the season when the worms are
deep In the ground increase the
quantity Of poison used.

Garden Produce
Can Be Grown
For Autumn
Late Season Crops
Deserve Greater
Consideration
Bv the Master Gardener

By the Master Gardener
Years ago, when green vegetables
could not be purchased the year
round at reasonable prices-in fact,
during certain seasons were not OBJ
tainable even at fancy prices-home
gardens were doubly appreciated,
and it was a common practice in
those days to make successive SOW
ings Of vegetables and thus insure
young, tender produce for the table
from spring to frost.
During recent years, with vege-
tables so easily accessible in the
markets, late summer sowing of
vegetables for fall use has been
somewhat neglected. Too soils
which have been cultivated for years
do not produce succession of crops
successfully unless fed, and failure to
feed summer-groWn crops has re-
suited in such poor yields that many
gardeners ceased making summer
soWings.
When early crops have been har-
vested. and the ground has been
cleared and cultivated. apply plant
food. scattering evenly over the
surface of the soil: work lightly into
the soil, and make a sowing OF the
following crops:
Beets-SoWn in July. you will
have tender young beets right
up to cold weather.
Bush beans-Yields from fall
sowings are very satisfactory,
and a welcome addition to the
table.
Carrots-Can be used until the
ground freezes, balance pulled
and stored.
Winter radishes-Can be used
up until time soil freezes, balance
stored.
TurnipS-Those not used by the
time cold weather comes around
may be stored for a time.
Rutabagas-Any surplus may
be stored for winter.
Endive-One of the most de-
licious of fall vegetables. This
vegetable is at its best after the
early frosts
Kale-In many climates this
vegetable will winter over and
produce a welcome supply of
greens in early spring. Where
winters are quite mild. it is pos
sible to harvest some kale all
through the winter.
Chinese cabbage-This is
vegetable that to date has not
been very widely grown or used
Many people prefer its sweet
crispness to lettuce, >celery, or
cabbage. Flourishes in the cool
weather of fall
Peas-This crop is rather long
shot for fall. If there is ample
rainfall during the summer and
fall months, you will have a good
yield, but If the weather is dry,
fall-sown peas are rather a dis
appointment.
I'm sure your family will give
you three cheers when in late sum-
mer and early fall you start dishing
up tender green vegetables that
have that same delicacy of flavor
the very first spring yields always
have for the palate.
And it will minimize the grocery
bill, too-which is important.

Climbing nasturtiums do not have
tendrils, like many vines, with
which to cling for support. They
will however. twist around the
paling OF a fence, coarse soft twine
and similar supports. They will
bloom sooner when trained on
support than If they are allowed
to run on the ground.

Sayre Tells Youths
To Accept Hardships
With Fortitude
Says Inner Happiness
Will Outweigh Suffering
Caused by War
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LEWISBURG, Pa, May 23.-Fran-
els B. Sayre, returned United States
High Commissioner to the Philip
pines. said today that the war will
wipe out "disillusionment and Gym
icism' in the younger generation
by forcing 1t to endure almost un-
precedented suffering"
The high commissioner, in a COM
mencement address at Bucknell
University, told graduates:
'You will experience suffering
such as few generations have been
called on to bear. But if you accept
the suffering in terms of sacrifice
to your country, as I am sure you
will, you will find in life profound
new Joy and inner happiness, denied
to those who have never suffered.
"Disillusionment and cynicism will
be replaced by new faith and hope,
which will tinge with inner joy even
outwardly bitter experience"
Mr.. Sayre spoke after receiving an
honorary doctorate in literature.
He quoted from letter which he
said was written by young officer
on Corregidor to his mother:
Il am proud to be part of the
fight :; I would not, even if it
were possible, leave here until it is
over and we have won. $50
"At last I have found what 1 have
searched for all my life-a cause
and Job in which I can lose myself
completely and to which I can give
every ounce of my energy
Mr.. Sayre said he had seen the
same attitude reflected by the torn
and mutilated" soldiers before his
return from Corregidor.
He urged youth to go back to
Christ" and to profit by my gen.
erations experience" in learning the
concepts of the interdependence of
men and nations.
