Kill Cabbage
Worms!

The second brood of the i'm
ported cabbage worm has made
it's appearance in great numbers.
Farmers and gardeners are
urged to dust or spray immedi-
ately before the worms have an
opportunity to damage their
crops.
Control measures recommended
by the Department of Entomology
of the University Of Maryland
consist Of busting with rotenone,
cryolite, or a mixture Of / pound
of arsenate Of lead or calcium
arsenate and Q pounds of hy-
drafted LIME, or spraying with
pound of arsenate OF lead or cal
cium arsenate to SO gallons Of
water to which q sticker, such as
calcium caseinate Is added.
Arsenicals and cryolite are
poisonous and should not be used
on such crops as brussels sprouts.

Not one of the methods men,
toned the Importance of putting
these materials into the main run
ways. If placed in the side tunnels
or feeding runways the moles may
seal them auff. and continue then
normal activities. Most of these
materials will only drive the moles
away; the strychnine, exhsust
fumes and carbon btsulphide are
killing agents.
BY tramping the tunnels down
and noting those which are opened
up the main tunnels may be quickly
determined. BY putting the poison
into these and then into each of the
new ones made, control is possible
The effectiveness of any control
measure is dependent upon the skill

Who among Washington contract
players with experience of II or
more years in the game does not re-
member Bob" Neville, formerly
bridge editor of the New York
Herald Tribune and one Of the
first newspaper writer's on bridge In
the country? We know local en-
thusiasts who used to knock OF
work early Saturday afternoons and
60 to New York to play in his game.
Undoubtedly they learned much for
he was an expert.
Well, announcement has just been
made that Bob is the new publica-
tion officer of the Mediterranean
edition Of the servicemen's news
paper Stars and Stripes, succeeding
Col. Egbert White.
Bob came up from Oklahoma,
graduated from Columbia University
and joined the staff of the Herald
Tribune. The great bulk of bridge
players about that time were merg-
ing from auction to contract and
the game was gaining great popu-
larity. The paper wanted some one
to handle it and wished the job on
Bob. He succeeded at once and be-
came recognized authority. Final
ly he got the wanderlust and went
to Europe. When the Spanish Civil
War broke out he was in Granada
He covered stages Of that war and
later OF the war in China. When
the Nazis invaded Poland he was
in Warsaw, and, of course, when the
United States got into the fighting
he joined up. He has been going
up since and is now captain.
Bob was followed on the Herald
Tribune by Mrs. Florence Osborn.
Her articles are eagerly read by a
large contingent of Washington
players who have a high regard for
her knowledge of the game.
In Army circles Gen. Eisenhower
Is touted as the greatest bridge play
er in the service. The general doubt
less Is very good but we would like
to see him stacked up against his
Junior officer, Capt. Bob Neville, in
friendly contest.
Bob may be able to introduce q
bridge column in Stars and Stripes.
Washington bridge tables en-
joyed somewhat lesser patronage
than usual last week because of the
absence of the large number of local
players who went to New York to
participate in the annual summer
session of the American Contract
Bridge League. Seven world and
national championship games were
In competition there as we'll as sew
eral minor events in series that
carried master points.
The first of the big games was
the national team-of -four match,
played in two sessions. The Charles

and were not In the running. Sew
enty-eight pairs competed for the
mems title, and 48 pairs were en-
tered in the women's contest. This
attendance broke previous records
for these events. They were not
however, the only record broken
William J. Huske, well known in
Washington, was the victim Of one
Of these smashes in the mixed
team -of-four game, which was in
large part due, however, to the psy-
chic bid OF his partner. 1t caused
him to make three no-trump bid,
with two shoppers in the suit bid
by his opponents. He was doubled
and himself redoubled, only to
learn too late that his partners
hand was practically a blank. He
suffered a set of 1000 which, ac-
cording to AL Sobel, director of the
competition. was the largest he had
ever seen in any national tourna-
ment. Washington players watched
but did not participate in this
event.
Leaders in the monthly master
point game of the Federal Bridge
League were Carmen Fortier and
partner, first; Col. and Mrs. H. j.
Vandersluis. second, and Rose Rob-
ins and Mrs. A. j. Steinberg, third.
The league has fixed September
as the date for holding q visitors
practice and preliminary game for
the purpoe of starting the organ
ization of next seasons team-of-
four series. The leagues popularity
has so grown that it will be neces-
sarv to limit the number of teams
to 36, which will be divided into
four sections of nine foursomes
each. This &ill be the same sort
of an arrangement which was put
into effect in the last half Of the
l943-4 series.

cover crop are only few which the
practical gardener will mention.
The control of weeds is best done
with the hoe or cultivator while they
are small and easily uprooted. How
ever, many will have escaped our
attention, so now is the time to get
them before they ripen a large crop
Of seed. Every one pulled out now
will mean many less to fight next
season. Ragweed. smartweed, morn
ing glory and wild lettuce are a few
of those that produce abundant seed
crops.
August and early September is
the time to SOW seed of crimson
clover as winter cover crop. This
clover is well adapted to the WASH
ington area, but may be bit diff
cult to get started in mid-August
If the soil is dry. However, the
University OF Maryland reports good
results with mid-September seed
ings. Give the garden a good culti-
vation before sowing the seed be-
tween the rows of vegetables. The
clover will be ready to turn under In
late April or early May. 1t is an
excellent soil improver as we'll as
winter cover crop. fa 1o!'
In this area the fall garden is
important and can be made quite
productive. 1t should not be neg
lected. August Is the month in
which to sow turnips, kale, endive,
Chinese cabbage and many other
crops for harvest in September, Oc-
tober and November.
= ~
1t is time to take cuttings for
wintering plants Cuttings of ge-
raniums, begonias, coleus, etc,
should be rooted in sand and trans
planted to pots so that they are
well established before winter. If
the taking of cuttings is delayed
the plants will not be well enough
started to withstand the rather un-
favorable growing conditions of the
home.
Similarly, We should repot many
OF our house plants to get them
ready for the winter. Potting in a
mixture of compost or well-rotted
manure, sand and garden loan is
recommended. A 4-inch potful of
bone meal mixed into each bushel
of potting soil will add plant food
Some gardeners also add about nalf
a potful of mixed fertilizer.
1t is time to order bulbs for fall
planting. With the current short
ages of labor, supplies of the early
spring -flowering bulbs are apt to be
below demand and the early orders
are the only ones apt to be fully
filled. Daffodils should be planted
in September; the small bulbs, such
as crocus. snowdrops, glory of the
snow, tChionodoxa), squills (Scilia
siberica) and winter aconite in Sep
tember and October; Scilla campa-
nulata English wood hyacinth) in
September and October; tulips in
October and November. and the
bulbods irises in November and De-
cember.
These early spring Towering bulbs
give more certain returns than al
most any flowers that we can plant
in this area. Many of them will
last for years. All of them, with
the possible exception of the bulb
Gus irises, do equally we'll in sunny
or shady situations. Compost and
bone meal worked into the soil be-
fore planting will insure larger and
better flowers.

 The Fairbanks Garden Club was ore anized, occoreinl to it's oirectcr to promote Victory gardens. They did7a fine job. The gardens over- proauced and the club set out to sell their surplus.
