use divisions with two fans of leaves.
Set them about a foot apart, and
be sure to plant the rhizomes prac-
tically on top of the ground. Plant
ed too deeply, they will rot. Regular
moving also aids in keeping down
the borer menace, for the destruc-
tive borers feeding in the f1eshy rhi-
zones can be destroyed without any
difficulty in the process OF division.
Maintenance work is now the
chief occupation of most gardeners.
Keep the sprayer going so that you
are always one step ahead Of in
sects and diseases. Watch particu-
larly for red spider, mildew on phlox,
mites and red spider on delphinium,
and aphids. Dusting sulphur is one
of the best controls for red spider,
and this is the insect that does
more damage than almost any other
during hot, dry weather. Sulphur Is
also a good fungicide for mildew,
such as that appearing in phlox,
and it works fairly well as pro-
lection against leaf spots. Bordeaux
is generally considered better than
sulphur for delphiniums, but the
Bordeaux will not control mites.
Regular dustings with finely di-
vided sulphur and either rotenone
or arsenate of lead will keep roses
in good condition.

May Store Sales Climb.
Sales of the big chain stores made
a fine showing in May, first reports
indicate. ]. J. Newberry sales were
up % per cent over May a year ago;
Lerner Stores, 1876 per cent; S. s.
Kress, 5.6; G. C. Murphy, 10.6; Bond
Stores, 1874; McCrory Stores, 7.3;
w. T. Grant, 1913; F. w. Woolworth,
S, and Mcclellan Stores, l5.s per
cent.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported yesterday that installment
accounts at department stores de-
clined 7 per cent in May and re-
mained 48 per cent below May, 1912.
Charge accounts receivable at the
end of May were "a per cent below
last year. Cash sales continued to
account for three-fifths OF total
sales, the report said.
Office Takes Insurance. Lead.
F. Mickey Smith, manager of the
Washington office of the Jefferson
Standard Life Insurance Co., an
nounced yesterday that the Office
took first place in new business
among So branches in June and
second place in the first half year.
New business here totaled 81 ,698, 900,
he said.
During the half year Thomas A.
Proctor of the District Office led
1000 agents of the company with
a production of $547, 900. To cele-
brate these production records, the
company had luncheon at the
Statler Hotel, which was attended
by national officials and several
Army officers now on leave from the
COMPANY.

1t may be avoided by giving them
bit more space when transplanting
for the first time. Normally, they
are set an inch apart at the first
transplanting. If space Is available,
inches apart is better. To avoid
second transplanting, try putting
them or inches apart.
AS the plants develop, 1t may be
necessary to pinch some kinds back
to produce stocky, sturdy plants.
However. all kinds may not be
pinched; others do not need 1t. If
they tend to be tall and spindly, try
giving them more sunlight and more
food low in nitrogen. Shading tends
to produce spindly plants. Excess
moisture (overwatering) is harmful.
Try to keep the plants growing nor
mally.
The average 6-inch bulb pan
should produce not less than rs
seedlings, and If these are carefully
transplanted, two dozen strong, Wig
orous plants should be ready for the
flower border in September, which is
the ideal time to transplant them.
They will have plenty of time to be-
come well rooted before cold weather.

absorbed from below. Watering
from the top has two main disad-
vantages-the soil will crust or the
seed may be washed too deeply into
it. BY watering from below the soil
in the lower part of the container
is thoroughly moistened, the seed
are not washed down into the soil,
nor is there danger of packing the
soil over the seed.
After the seed are sown and the
soil thoroughly moistened it is de-
sirable to cover the pot or box with
pane of glass or a sheet of paper.
Sunlight is not needed during ger
mination, and it Is well to reduce
evaporation (drying ouD as much
as possible. Seeds must have mois-
ture to germinate. and anything
that will keep them from becoming
too dry is of greatest Importance
at this stage of development. AS

be removed but not q pane of glass

AS soon as the seedlings have de-
veloped their first pair of leaves they
are ready to be transplanted. This
should be into fiat or bed where
the tiny plants will have an oppor-
tunity to develop good root sys-
tenn. Many gardeners do not put
any plant food into the seed pot OF
fiat, but the soil into which the seed.
lings are transplanted should have
some plant food. This may not be
needed if a soluble plant food is to
be used in the watering Il believe
there are no restrictions upon its
use for flowers.
If the plants make a strong growth
in this second stage and become toe
crowded before time to move them
to their permanent location, it may
be necessary to transplant them q
second time. This is a bit more
work, but 1t will insure stronger
bushier plants in the end. However

plants for transplanting in Sep
tember.
In a number of Victory gardens
tal-growing plants, such as pole
beans, sweet corn and staked to-
matoes, are shading lower-growing
plants. This is unfortunate, since
sunlight is needed for the best
growth. A plan for the crop ar
rangement is desirable to avoid such
mistakes.
Some gardeners hdUe reported
the blossoms from, their tomatoes
haze been falling. This may be
due to any one OF three condi-
tionS:: N Too much shade, f2)
too much nitrogen in the soil
and ~ seDeral days OF tempera-
lures beloU 20 degrees.
Test paintings of vegetable crops
indicate that those fertilizers con-
tanning the trace" elements are
giving better results than those
without them. Manures worked into
the soil, however, gave still better
results, although this probably will
be true for the most part on those
soils seriously deficient in humus
Where manures are not available
the commercial fertilizers should be
used. Check to see whether the best
grades are needed by trying them
out and watching the results.

This Is the best time of year to
transplant Bearded Iris. The old
feeding roots of the plants die
shortly after the bloom is past. Early
moving puts the rhizomes In their
new environment when the young
roots develop, and the growth Of the
plants thereby continues uninter-
rupted. Flower buds form in the fall,
and the plants will bloom profusely
next year.
Bearded Iris paintings become
crowded comparatively quickly, and
for this reason it Is well to move
them about once every three or
four years. In transplanting, reduce
the top growth about one-half and

Blossom end rot of tomatoes has
been commonly thought OF as dis
ease. 1t is a physiological condition
and is caused by lack of a proper
balance of food or moisture, Ex-
cess nitrogen in the soil or periods
of high temperatures and lack OF
rain are the most probable causes.
If your tomatoes show this condi-
ton, try watering and feeding.

Some of the paintings of beans
have been badly damaged by the
Mexican bean beetle. Where this
has happened, they should be pulled

destroyed the plants vitality only
one or two pickings may be ex-

To Capital Bank
Deposits in Year
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Washington's ~ banks piled UP q
gain in total deposits OF $138, ,461, :
839 80 during the year ended on June
30, 1943, according to an analysis OF
the banking situation completed
yesterday by Audley A. p. Savage,
auditor of the National Savings g.
Trust Co.
Deposits on June 30, the date of
the controllers call, aggregated
1854 $3.50, $3.50, the huge increase
during the year being due to gain
Of $88, ,36l ,281 20 in the last half OF
1912 and an upturn Of $50, ,l00, ,558. go
In the first six months of 1943, Mr.
Savage stated. The June 80 total
was by far the highest ever reached
in the Capital.
The increase Of more than $50
100000 in the last six months was
due to a gain of $50 0,992, ,418 by the
national banks, $12,019,143 by the
savings banks and $7,088, ,996 by the
trust companies.
Many Sharp Gains Noted.
Riggs National led the national
banks with q gain Of $15,110.080 in
the half year. Next came the Ham,
ilton with a $6,105, ,654 pickup, while
the Second National was third with
a rise of $2,948,166.
In the savings group, the City
Bank topped the list with gain OF
$4,148,011, Security Savings & Com
mercial stood second with an in
crease Of $2.414,405 and the Nc
Lachlen Bank third with an ad-
vance Of $1,735,072. Washington
Loan A Trust led the trust COM
panies with an upturn Of $2,885 ,808
followed by the Union Trust with
an increase of 2,375, ,798. There
were several other proportionately
large gains.
The impressive gain In the las
six months was ascribed by bank
ers to the vast amount of money
placed in War bonds, much Of which
is still In the banks, to the great
number Of new accounts and in.
creases in old ones and to counties!
activities connected with the wal
boom.

Armco Method Boosts
Propeller Output
Special Dispatch to The Star,

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio. July 10
A method Of rolling airplane pro-
peller blade steel so that two blades
may be made from the same amount
of critical material that previously
made one was revealed by President
Charles r. Hook at the annual
meeting of the American Rolling
Mill Co.
Describing the rolling process
worked out by Armco, ne said 1t
was one of the most outstanding
developments of the steel industry
during the past year. 1t not only
saves large quantities of critical
material, but reduces the machining
time of the finished propeller by
more than half, he reported.
