Paint Increases Illumination

The wartime urge for conserva-
tion of both human health and en-
ergy as well as of material things
has greatly stimulated recognition
Of the use of color in conjunction
with modern lighting equipment for
better illumination. One prescrip-
ton by lighting experts, cited by the
Federal Housing administration,
suggests the refinishing of a dark or
dingy ceiling with a white or light
ivory paint. Sidewalks may be re-
finished with a slightly darker paint,
such as light green, with IS per cent
reflection, while all horizontal sur
faces-benches, chairs, tables and
floors-can be finished with paint
of at least 40 per cent reflection fac
tor, according to the steps outlined
at recent convention of lighting
experts.

Dwarf Trees Yield Good
Apples After Short Start

Gardeners who like to produce
fruit at home are advised to try
some Of the available varieties Of
dwarf apple trees which bear fruit
within year or two after planting
and from which the crop can be
harvested without ladders.
The dwarf varieties available in
clude many of the favorite sorts
grown on standardized trees. The
fruit on the dwarf trees is large
and is highly colored. The dwarfs
are obtained by grating stocks of
common apples on dwarfing root
stocks.
The best time to plant dwarf ap-
pies is early spring, and the trees
should be set in holes which are
large enough to admit the roots
without crowding. Standard-shaped
dwarf trees can be planted from 10
to Is feet apart. The trees also can
be purchased already trained to
grow on trellises or against walls.
Hedges can be made by setting
trees six feet apart.
Experts recommend placing a
mulch OF leaves, straw, peat moss,
or other similar material from the
tree trunks outward beyond the tips
Of the branches. The mulch should
be renewed each year and it keeps
down weeds, conserves moisture,
and adds plant food to the soil.
Trees should be we'll watered the
first year but need no fertilizer then.
Five ounces of sulphate of ammo
MIA or of complete fertilizer should
be applied under each tree the Sec
ond year.

Peanut Now Major CrOp

Twenty years ago the peanut was
a tidbit. Today peanut products are
to be found in every grocery store,
every restaurant, every department
store, every army camp in Ameri-
ca, on battleships and submarines.
The American war economy possi-
bly, will find more uses for the pea
nut than for any other product
grown. AS food it could appear
on every course of the menu. It is
used in the manufacture of drugs.
cosmetics, shaving cream, soap,
paints and explosives. 1t fattens

Women in Arms Plants

More women are employed in q

in any of the other war industries

According to the analysis, the
