Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Group Meetings and Local
Exhibitions
Rp Edmond Henderer.

A new claimant for the title of
oldest hobby" has appeared. There
seems to be considerable logic to
the claim, too. French Morgan,
secretary of the Neurological So
ciety of the District OF Columbia,
maintains that rock collecting pre-
dates all other avocations, even
though the local club is only
slightly over one year old.
The newness of this society
doesn't mean that it's members are
inexperienced. Some of them are
professionals In some branch Of
mineralogy, some are amateurs of
long standing like the president, C.
H. Robinson. who has been a col
lector for so years, while others, like
the secretary, have done much in
short time.
Mr.. French has only been inter-
ested in the subject for about four
years. but in that time he has con-
verted his wife into an ardent COL
lector and his cellar into lapidary
shop.
Mrs. French is probably an even
more active collector of mineral
specimens than her husband. In
fact. he complains that she loads the
family car with entirely too much
Junk" They have made one long
collecting trip out through the
West and a number of more or
less local ones, these latter con-
fined at least to Me Eastern part of
the country.
They like to collect their own
specimens and have very few which
have been acquired in any other
way. Mr.. Morgan's chief interest,
however. is the cutting and polish
ing of gem stones. His equipment
for the purpose is fairly complete
and at least partially homemade.
Many apparently drab stones and
pebbles have amazing possibilities
as gems. The procedure in most
cases is to cut the stone with a
power saw charged with diamond
dust. When blank of the desired
shape, size and appearance has been
obtained it is ground to finished
shape and polished. Mr.. Morgan
has boxes of these cut and polished
stones to demonstrate the effective
ness of his equipment.
Most people who become interest,"
ed in this phase of mineralology will
want to know how much this cut
ting and polishing equipment will
cost them. Mr.. Morgan estimates
the cost Of his at about $50 COM
plete. 1t Is possible to buy q unit
containing everything needed ex-
cept the motor and belt for $3.50,
plus shipping charges from Wiscon-
sin. Any one having . home work
shop can easily convert part Of II
to . 1apidary shop at much less ex-
pense. Any of these methods VIII

News From Dogdom
Notes on a Variety of Subjects of Interest
in Washington and Vicinity
BY X. X. Taynfon.

The future of dog shows, and to a
| large degree the future of pure
bred dogs, is now at stake. Whether
dog shows will Increase in entries,
interest and popularity in the flu
ture, whether they will hold their
own in the present, depend on what
happens in the next few months.
Not on what happens in world af-
fairs, not on what happens in the
general sports field. but on what
happens in the world of dogs them
selves.
There is no doubt that people are
dog-shoW hungry. Former fanciers
and exhibitors make every sacrifice
to enter their dogs at every show
possible. If they are now doglesS,
as many are, they travel miles and
pay admission fees just to see dog
show and their doggy friends. In
many cases that means giving up
all their furloughs or all their travel
ing allotments or all their gaso-
line coupons, just for the sake of
dog show. If, when they get to the
show, the judging is neither ade-
Quate nor honest. If the dog show
officials are neither considerate nor
courteous: if neither the exercise
pens nor the benches are clean, and
the general attitude of both the
members OF the show-giving club
and the superintendent organiza-
ton is now that we got your entry
fee or your admission fee that's all
that matters" how long is the
dyed-in-t the wool fancier going to
put up with it?
A year or two ago there was q
great furor about amateur versus
professional judges. 1t has been the
contention of the writer that both
were needed to maintain the bal
ance between the specialists in
sistence on type and the all-round-
ers insistence on soundness. Since
the height of that controversy, many
clubs have switched to panels of
almost all amateurs. This has been
done, not because so many of them
believed in the amateur judges, but
because many amateurs will judge
gratis. Experience has proved that
they are worth just exactly what
they get-nothing. Worse than that,
the quality of the judging at many
shows in many breeds, since the

Leaves From the Garden Notebook
Recent Hard Rains Packed Soil in Victory Gardens

The downpour of last week packed
the soil badly and most Victory gar
deners found it necessary to go over
their plots to break up the crust.
Tiny seedlings could hardly he ex-
pected to push through a layer as
thick and hard as covered most gar
dens following those rains. If this
cultivation was delayed until after
the soil was dry enough many weeds
were killed for they were germinat-
ing faster than the vegetable seeds.
* x
Most all of the summer crops can
now go into the ground without too
much risk of frost and cold weather.
This includes tomatoes, beans, corn,
peppers, cucumbers, squash, etc.
With the exception of the peppers
and tomatoes a second planting per-
haps third and fourth, should be
made to insure continuous harvests
of tender full-havored crops. Nor
mally only one planting of cucum-
bers and squash are made but eX-
perience has demonstrated that a
second planting made the first of
June will prolong production into
the fall.

The heavy rains and hailstorms
of last week apparently did little
damage to the early-planted gar
dens other than to wash away some
of the soil. perhaps a few of the

not be used on flowers this YEAR,
1t is we'll to plant the gladiolus
corms 4 inches or more in depth to
give the plants support and to in
sure moisture for growth. The
dahlia tubers are normally planted
from to inches below the surface
of the ground. All except the small
dwarf dahliaS need stalking to pro-
tect them from heavy rains and
high winds.
A great many complaints have
been heard about the winter injury
to our roses. No doubt the loss of
most OF the tops was a shock to
many gardeners. however. it is not
believed that the plants were killed
in most cases. BY removing the
dead wood and letting new growth
develop from the base we will prob
ably have finer long-stemmed flow
ers than usual The usual mass
effect of great quantities of bloom
will be lacking.
In few cases we will find that
the bud of the named variety will
have been killed and that shoots ap-
pearing will be from the under
stock. In such cases the root should
be dug. 1t is easy enough to recog-
nize shoots coming from the root
stock-the leaves are 7 or 9 parted
whereas those of the hybrid teas are
5-parted.
Many remarks are to be heard
about the futility of so many at
tempting to grow Victory gardens.
No doubt there will be some who
for one reason or another fail to
achieve the success desired. How
ever, there will be a surprisingly
large number, including many who
have never gardened before who will
produce excellent crops. The main
consideration is to give aid where
ever possible with suggestions and
advice so that more will succeed.
The inexperienced are, of course
without knowledge as to relative
costs and values and there are some
who are attempting to charge ex-
| orbitant prices for labor and mate
rials as we'll as market low grade,
faulty merchandise. This should
be condemned as a deliberate effort
to cripple and nullify this worthy
war effort.

Try the Unusual Vegetables
In Your Garden for Variety
Bv The Master Gardener

We are all inclined to resent
monotony - monotony in routine,
monotony in food-yet paradoxical-
ly, we slide into habits that keep US
in that old well-known rut.
Home gardeners are all too prone
to grow the same selection of vege-
tables, little dreaming what culinary
pleasures they are foregoing in re-
fusing to grow few unfamiliar ito
them) vegetables each season. Not
only will you have greater variety
in your menu if you grow few new
vegetables each season. but your
pleasure in your gardening Will be
greatly enhanced.
I have in mind small niece who
proudly presented me with some
eggplants which she had grown in
her garden-a vegetable which was
very uncommon, in the locality in
which she lives.

first of the year, has been such that
it has been harmful to the sport.
|, When a dog judge comes to the
outside of the ring after he has
finished breed and yells, literally,
to his exhibitors and everybody else
within earshot, Il still like what I
done" there is a strong suspicion
that he done wrong This hap
pened at a recent nearby show.
Many not ordinarily interested in
that breed assured themselves that
his judging was mistaken by looking
up the previous records of his win
ming dogs and their contenders.
The dog show game must start
putting it's house in order right now.
The way to do it is by getting
better. not cheaper, judges. From
the business angle. it must observe
the rules of all other enterprises.
Courtesy and service are the founda-
ton stones of every successful busi-
ness in the country. The dog show
is no exception.
This is the day of the National
Capital Kennel Club snow at the
Meadowbrook Saddle Club on the
East-West highway. Hundreds of
dogs are on exhibition, including
specimens of rare breeds. Judging
starts at 10 and should be over by 6
or little thereafter.
The list of professional handlers
licensed by the American Kennel
Club consists of 307 names. Among
them are several in this area, nota-
bly, Raymond Scaggs, Dowell Mans
field and his kennel manager, Claude
P. Williams.
May is the dog show month. The
Southeastern circuit starts at Knox
vile on May and finishes on May
II at Greensboro. On May 8 new
show-giving club makes its debut
at Plainfield, N. j., with Trenton
the following day. Both are staged
at the Plainfield Country Club. The
big news of the month is the trio
at Devon, Pa. on May 20, 80 and 81
These three shows, all on the lovely
Devon horse show grounds, take in
many breed specialties and extras of
all sorts. Three shows in three days
at the same location is wartime
conservation measure that is all to
the good.

Believe it or not. not one of the
three recipients were familiar with
the vegetable. After preparing and
sampling it, however, all were highly
enthusiastic about this easily grown
vegetable.
There are two closely related va
rieties listed under summer squash"
by most seedsmen:
/. zucchini (matures IS to so
days)-A summer squash pro-
ducing extremely dark green
fruits of fine quality. The plants
are truly bush, and the fruits
when mature about IL inches
long and 1919 inches in diameter
sometimes somewhat larger.
They are Of best quality. however,
if used when young to 6 inches
long.
2. The Cocozelle. or vegetable
marrow (matures 65 days)-The
fruit is long and. slender, of a
dark green color at first, but when
maturing it changes to a lighter
green with yellowish stripes. In
best condition to use when 8 to
IL inches long.
The young fruits of both NAV be
sliced and fried as you would pre-
pare eggplant. Fruits are also de-
llcious diced and steamed or baked
Squashes grow best in a fertile.
deep soil. Some gardeners prefer a
slightly sandy soil. The bush va
riety should be sown in hills to
6 feet apart. In preparing the soil,
be sure to incorporate a complete
plant food. The plant food may
either be broadcast over the entire
area to be planted at the rate of 4
pounds per 100 square feet (euuiva-
lent to one rounded tablespoonful
per square foot); or plant food may
be mixed thoroughly with soil in
the bottom Of each hill and covered
with one inch Of soil before seeding.
Use one level tablespoonful of plant
food per hill. Put six or 8 seeds
IN each hill, and, cover with about
an inch of soil, pressing the soil
down firmly. When the plants come
up. thin them so that only 8 or 4
OF the strongest are left in each
hill Sow about the same time you
would sow sweet corn, after the
ground is warm.
Squash are quite subject to bug
attacks and plants must be kept
busted to avoid damage.

Careful soil preparation is just as
important when planting shade
loving plants as for those that are
sun loving. Some gardeners think it
even more important to incorporate
quantities of leaf mold or compost
into the soil before planting on the
theory that the trees absorb most
of the rainfall. Whether this theory
be true or not the important thing
is to have vigorous growing and
free-flowering plants. Proper plant
ing and care 60 long way toward
