NOW is tne Time TO night poison
ivy with spray. Digging is an al
most impossible task, since each
piece of root left in the soil soon
develops into new plant. Spray
ing with ammonium sulfamate,
however, kills the entire plant. Ap-
ply the spray in the evening or on
a cloudy day so as to get the max
lmum absorption The usual rate of
application is IL ounces of the am
monium sulfamate to one gallon of
water. If the plants are small 8
ounces will be sufficient. Apply as
a fine mist to the foliage of the
poison ivy.

The tent caterpillars are un-

The ground is getting too dry for
good plant growth and seeds start
slowly and unevenly To get them
off to good start plant a bit deeper
than is generally recommended.
Before covering the seed press them
firmly into the soil - walking on
them is one way. Then cover with
loose soil, BY pressing the seed
firmly into the bottom of the fur
row they will be more apt to have
sufficient moisture for termination.
Another method is to water the
seed thoroughly and then to cover
the seed row with boards. How

country to give much thought to
gardening as a hobby. However,
hobby gardening is not new to this
area.
One of the worthwhile results
from the hobby garden is the COL
lecting and testing Of kinds or va
rieties casually Towering plants) to
see how well they do under local
climatic and soil conditions.
Plants introduced from other sec
tions Of this country or from other
countries do not always do well
under conditions here. Plant COL
lecting may be on small or large
scale, depending upon the garden
er's resources of time, space and
money. Whether his garden be
large or small, it is still test gar
den. 1t will bring enjoyment to
him but, more important, it will
be source of valuable informa-
ton to friends and neighbors.
One azalea fan is growing varie-
ties that are supposedly tender in
North Carolina. A rose fancier tries
to test all Of the new varieties in
troduced. His results and expert
ences are of interest to every rose
grower. Several iris fans in this
area can be. counted upon to tell
you the value of most Of the newer
varieties, saving many the expense
and disappointment that comes
with the purchase of highly adver-
tised but unadapted varieties. Yes,
these collectors who enjoy growing
flowers are of value to the whole
community.
Occasionally, lobbyist goes a
step further and tries breeding new
varieties. He gets real thrill out
of producing something new, per-
haps an. outstanding variety. The
community ais even more fortunate
since 1t gets variety that is adapted
to its soils and climate. Our lead
ing rose lobbyist has produced sew
|eral very choice varieties that will
grow and thrive in this area, which
is something that you cannot say
about most OF the introduced vari-
cites. We have an outstanding
producer of new daffodils and sew
eral who have produced worthwhile
varieties of iris and daylilies. Then
there are those who are working
on other plants, such as peonies,
oriental iris, etc. They are breed
ing for better varieties. Perhaps
we shall have some new varieties
OF vegetables, too.
Still another benefit from hobby
gardening is the general education
of neighbors and community as to
the enjoyment and understanding
OF our Towering plants. One hob

Study Decreed
by Argentina



Mr. William Randolph Hearst,
San Simeon, Cal,
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
7 BELIEVE YOU will be interested to know that
the Argentine government has issued decree
providing that:
THE ministry of Justice and public instruction
will take the necessary measures so that. as soon
as possible the program of studies of the history
of the American continent be drawn up in such
way as to embrace brief desert ptiOn of the events
that took place in the continent until the end of the
nineteenth century, and the study of their social,
economic and political consequences.
This same rule will be adopted with respect
to the programs of Argentine and American litera
ure so as to cover those countries of the continent
where Spanish is not the official language
This decree points out that:
"The teaching given to the youth is one of the
bases for better understanding among the people
of the continent if il is guided by the firm purpose
of presenting the historical truth, which estab-
fishes the eminence of the great figures in the his
tory of the continent within the political sphere of
each country and the general picture of America.
1T is necessary for Argentine students to
know not only the origin of each people. but also
the formation of the republican Institutions.
through the study of the principal events and their
economic social and political repercussOns
"The feeling of solidarity in the continent.
even more than spontaneous sympathleS, arises
from the idea of the greatness which constitutes
the moral background of the American con-
science.
Thanking you again for your past eoHfteSies

Very sincerely YOURS

finest things ever undertaken by
your newspapers. 1t has made the
