AT SANITARY
New Installation CompIef-
ed by Kraft Mfg. Co.
for Meat Market

Meats of all varieties were temp
tingly displayed in a brand new
refrigerated display case of glass,
white enamel and chromium, IN
the Sanitary Meat Market for the
first time today. The attractive
case was built by the Kraft Manu-
featuring Company from plans
drawn long ago by Ed Shaffer, own
er of the market and Mr.. Kraft.
Twenty feet long by three
an a half feet wide, the display
case is cooled with an ammonia re-
frigeration system that is CONSOLE
dated with the refrigeration of the
cold storage plant of the market
and keeps all meats at 35 degrees,
just the proper temperature so
that they reach the housewife in
the finest of condition.
The top and display front are of
glass and the lower front of white
enamel trimmed with chromium
Mr. Shaffer invites his customers
to call and inspect the new in
stallation which is an expression
of his faith in the city and its
future and his desire to have the
latest modern improvements in his
shop at all times.

be dipped into the contents of the

Only thin coat of paraffin is needed
on the entire bulb or clump.
Don't divide dahlias to any great
extent in the fall, for all the growing
eyes are on the base of the stem and
not on the root itself. 1t may be
necessary for convenience in storage
to divide large clumps into two or
three parts by cutting through the
stem and the roots. With dahlias,
the base of the stem is what should
be kept alive, but with cannas the
feshy eyes are located on the rhi-
ZONE. Gamma clumps can be divided,
but it should not be done too closely;
they keep better over winter in
larger masses.
The storage organs of many plants
may be kept over winter with this
treatment of wax if they tend to dry
out in ordinary storage; but they
will keep even better if they are
packed away in some dry material
such as peat moss, dry sand, coal
ashes, some type of poultry litter ma
terial, or anything that will keep the
circulation of air away from them.

BY the Master Gardener

Good soil must contain humus as
we'll as plant food, but neither will
take the place of the other. The
purpose of this article is to explain
the functions of each-the use and
need of humus in the soil and the
excellent results obtained when a
complete balanced plant food is used
in soil that has sufficient humus
content. You will receive maximum
benefit from plant food applied to
your garden If your soil is in excel
lent physical condition.
Do You Knop Just
What Humus Is?
Humus is vegetable matter in
various stages of decomposition. It
is an essential part Of all good and
productive soils. It is constantly
decaying and must be replaced as it
becomes depleted. When soils are
under cultivation care must be taken
to maintain the humus supply in
the soil if it is to support satisfactory
plant growth. Because of the exces-
sive aeration OF light, sandy soils,
the humus contained therein decays
faster than 1t can accumulate, and
the humus content Of such soils is
usually low. In heavy-textured soils
like clay loans humus does not de-
cay so rapidly. Humus makes sandy

Friendly Insects
Really Helpful
In Gardens
Learn to Recognise
Them From Pests
To Protect Crop
By Laurence and Edna Blair

By Laurence and Edna Blair
After the constant and costly war
that must be waged against insect
pests to save the crops, 1t is very
hard for the average gardener to be-
lieve that any insect can be friendly
to the garden.
1t is a fact, however, that only
part of the insects are vegetarians.
The remainder are the cannibals of
their world preying on and devour-
Ing other insects which are smaller
or weaker than themselves, or at
taching themselves to a much larger
species and living as parasites until
their host is finally destroyed.
1t is lucky for mankind in general
that this difference in insects does
exist and that the two kinds are at
war with each other constantly, or
the plant destroying pests would
overrun the world and destroy our
main sources of food and clothing.
The gardener should learn to dis
tinguish and help protect beneficial
insects. Some of the beetles are a
distinct help. The larva of the we'll
known ladybug feeds on a diet of
aphids and mealy bugs which are
often so destructive to garden plants.
The preying Cor praying) mantis
lives by eating other insects, many of
which are injurious to the crops.
Ground beetles feed on caterpillars,
and have been used to fight gypsy
moths. The ichneumon fly (really

The time to harvest gladiolus
and such summer-fowering bulbs
as tigridia, oxalis and several of
the amaryllis family which are not
hardy is directly after the first frost.
There is nothing to be gained by
leaving these blubs in the ground
too long. The longer they are left
in, the more danger there is of
sharp frost's penetrating the root
or the bulb and damaging it. Then,
too, oulbs are more difficult to dig
and clean after being in the ground
for considerable time after the
tops have died, and it is far from
pleasant to work in the ground
when the weather has made it cold
and wet. So the practical time to
harvest these bulbs is as soon as the
foliage turns yellow.
The procedure IS simple. Just dig
them, remove the excess soil and
dry them in a place that is not in
direct sunlight. Be careful not to
leave them out of the ground over
night If there is frost, for it doesn't
take much cold to kill them. If they
are not dry by nightfall, they can
be put somewhere under protection,
covered with paper or burlap, and
then placed back In the sun the
second day. But don't leave them
exposed too long to full sun. This
applies particularly to tigridia, OK
ais and any soft bulbs which are
easily injured by too much expo
sure to direct sunlight.
Do not be in too great q hurry to
dig dahlias and cannas.
Generally they keep better If
they are allowed to go through a
period of rfpening after the. frost
has killed the tops. This requires
about two weeks. They will not
dry out quite so rapidly If given this
care, and generally stand storage
better. The main factor with both
cannas and dahlias Is to keep them
from drying out over winter. For
this reason 1t Is advisable not to let
them dry too much after digging.
The drying of moisture from the
surface Of the roots and from the
stems Is sufficient. If a cool, damp
cellar Is not available it is better
to pack them away in some cool ma
terial or dip them in melted par
affln.
In following the paraffin method.
simply clean the bulb or root of ali
excess soil and see that the surface
Is dry. Then dip the bulb for an in
slant into paraff1n that has just
barely melted. One way to handle
the paraf1n is to take IL or IA
quart pail, fill 1t little over half full
with water, and the rest with paraf-
fin. Then heat the water until the

nourishment to the plant. Without
sufficient nourishment the plant will
die, regardless of how favorable other
factors are.
What Function ....
Does Hun1us Perform?
Cd It acts as sponge, retaining
moisture and plant food, especially
on sandy soils. co It helps loosen
compact soils, making them more
porous and promoting deeper root
growth. 90 Soil humus serves as
a reservoir of plant food, absorb
ing the plant food added to the
soil and releasing it gradually into
the soil solution. "a Humus acts
as a buffer when acid, alkaline or
toxic materials are added to the
soil. 60 It insures the activity of
beneficial soil bacteria, which are
necessary for fertile soil.
What Effect Does an
Inadequate Supply of
HumuS Haze on the Soil?
Soils deficient in humus are low
in water-holding capacity. they are
too compact, they are poorly aerated
below the surface, they are incap-
able Of retaining plant nutrients,
they are very apt to form an imper-
vious crust-and in general pro-
vide very poor conditions for plant

hornets often injure a large part OF
the crop, and birds may take heavy
toll. Bagging, which consists OF in
closing each cluster in a paper bag,
is the only effective prevention
against the attacks of bees and
birds; sometimes it is OF no value
because the big black-and-white
hornets, the starlings, catbirds and
brown thrashers will tear the bags in
shreds to get the grapes.
One or two pound manila bags
may be tied or pinned around the
stem of each cluster in July or early
August. This is a worthwhile pro-
cedure in small gardens because the
grapes are protected from some OF
the diseases, attain higher bloom
and may be kept on the vines one to
three weeks after the unbagged

Bv Aqnes Trimble

If you are not acquainted with
the Kniphofia plants-you should be
and if you ask a florist about them,
he will probably think minute, and
say. "oh, tritoma."
Tritoma is the trade or florists
name for this genus OF African
plants, which belong to the Lillaceae
family. K. aloides is perhaps the
best known species. 1t is called by
many names-some of which are
tritoma, red-hot poker, poker plant,
flame flower, and torch-lily.
This plant is unique in appearance
and not easily forgotten when once
its pyramidal spike of blazing red,
or rich golden flowers, is seen in
the late summer and fall.
It's flowers are most exotic, grow
ing in spike or torchlike fashion,
4 to 8 inches long, and each one
made up of 100 or more small,
1-inch tubular flowers, growing on
sturdy stalklike stems to feet
high. Not even a bursting sky-rocket
is more startling than this flower
when in full bloom. Tritoma's leaves
are sword-shaped, long and narrow,
a blush green with scabrous edge
and acutely keeled with vertical
veins.
- Kniphofia plants, so striking and
fiery looking, are ideally located
when planted among shrubberv that
needs some gay and vivid colors to
help out between midsummer and
late autumn. The flowers when cut
are attractive too, and make a novel
display when placed in a vase-not
too tall, however-with a few of
the more delicate and irregular
petaled fall flowers, as asters or
chrysanthemums-be sure that they
are not the stiff or heavy-looking
ones, because tritoma is more or less
heavy looking.
Tritoma pfitzeri is the original
red-hot poker plant. It grows about
4 feet high, and has rich orange and
scarlet flowers. Towers of gold, an
other variety, is stately looking with
its rich golden torchlike blossoms.
