Gardening Tips
for This Week

When visiting the fall flower
shows write the names of the va
rieties of flowers and shrubs which
appeal to you. They are the kinds
that are now growing in local gar
dens, thus there is reasonable
assurance that they will do well
in our climate and soil.
1t is not too early to SOW the
seed of larkspur, bachelors but
ton and nigella. The seeds will
germinate and the plants come up,
but they are hardy and will live
over winter without protection.
Now is the time to thin turnips
and other fall vegetable crops. Tur-
nip tops, as well as the trimmings
of Chinese cabbage, kale, mustard,
ETC., make good green's. Turnips
need at least four inches between
plants; the others want six or eight
inches of space in which to grow.
Peonies should be set out now.
Get your order in and the roots
planted as soon as possible Make
certain that the eyes of the root
are not more than two inches be-
low the surface of the ground (aft-
er allowing for settling. Try some
of the singles If you are tired of
the heavy -headed Chinese doubles

Clean and Sharpen
Tools in the Fall

Fall Is good time to check over
the garden tools and clean and
sharpen them before putting them
away for the winter.
Wooden handles should be
smoothed with sandpaper or emery.
Metal parts which do not come in
contact with the soil should be
painted. The hoes, cultivator blades,
plowshares and spade blades, with
all other metal parts that touch the
soil should be cleaned of caked dirt
and rust. A thin wooden scraper or
a putty knife is handy for removing
dirt. To remove heavy rust, soak
the tools in kerosene few hours,
then remove the rust with a wire
brush, emery cloth or a rag soaked
in oil and dipped in fine sand.
Digging tools should not be
sharpened to a fine edge. A fat
file and milestone can be used for
hoes and other tools requiring a
fairly sharp edge If they are very
dull at the start, they can be ground
with an emery wheel or other power
grinder and finished with the stone.
Dry storage, with a definite spot
for each tool, is the best way to keep
tools for the idle season.

Tomato Blight Fought
By Buryins Vines

Plow under tomato vines In the
fall for an early start in the fight
against tomato blight in 1947, Mary
land farmers are advised by Francis
Stark, Maryland extension vege-
table crops specialist.
Following a season In which As
per cent of Maryland's crop on ST.
500 acres of tomatoes was lost due
to blight, the warning was aimed to
clean up sources of infection. Both
tomato field litter and refuse, and
potato tubers infected with blight
could spread the disease like Wild
fire in 1947. If rainy, cool weather
should prevail in May and June, Mr.
Stark said.
Deep plowing this fall will rot the
vines so they cannot provide food
for the blight fungus to live on till
spring, he said. He suggested add
ing a small amount Of nitrogen
fertilizer to the soil at blowing to
speed rotting of the vines. Each
tomato grower should also prepare
to spray his tomato fields with
fungicides at least once or twice next
season, he added.

This column is about the stand
ards set forth in the new veterans
job-training law-standards which
all employers must adopt If they
want to get approval for job train
ing.
I said a while back no veteran
could take job training at any out
fit which hadn't been approved by
the State approval agency. That
was one of the rubs in the old bill.
The States, not the Veterans Ad-
ministration, approved outfits which
wanted to give training. Some
States didn't seem to have enough
money to do a thorough job of ap-
proving these outfits.
And after they approved them
the States often didn't keep an eye
peeled for some of the abuses so
poorly hidden that they came right
up and smacked you in the eye.
Now, under the new law, no State
approved agency can give the nod
to any outfit for job training unless
that outfit lists certain facts in
writing
The title and description of the
specific job for which the veteran
Is to be trained must be listed, as
we'll as the length of the training
period.
A schedule must be submitted
showing the various operations for
major kinds of work or tasks to be
learned, and the approximate time
each such task will take to learn.
A statement also must be given
telling the wage or salary to be
paid at the beginning, at each sue
cessive step in the program-and at
the completion of the training.
In addition the number of hours
of classroom work required must
be shown. The wages or salary paid
to employees already trained for
that specific type of work must be
indicated.
That's the law now. Any outfit
wanting approval to give CT bill
job training must list the facts I've
Just outlined and furnish them in
writing to the State approval agency
before approval will be given.
There is another set of facts that
the State approving agency must
determine to be true before it can
give approval. The law was set up
to protect you, if you 60 into a
job training program.
In the first place, the training
must be designed to qualify the
veteran for a particular job. Sec
ond, there must be a reasonable
certainty that job will be avail
able for the veteran at the end of
his training period, and it must be
job that's based on skiHs learned
while training (and not based on
just normal turnover).
Also, the wages must be as much
as those customarily paid to a nom
veteran learner in the same job.
And the job must be one that Gus

Storage of Food
Should Prevent
Loss byHeat, Light
By MARGARET McPheeters
MARYLAND Extension kuritionist

Canned peaches, tomatoes, snap
beans and other home canned foods
look tempting and tasty in a fair
exhibit, or in a kitchen, but to keep
the food value of the contents, the
best place for them in the winter is
in the dark, in cool spot.
Home Gamers who put the food
in tin cans will not need to worry
about light destroying any food val
ues or vitamins. But some foods in
glass jars can lose considerable
portion of their value If exposed to
light in storage. That Is one reason
why a storage cabinet is best if it
has solid doors that shut out light.
The family that has an entire
house often finds convenient cool,
dark spot in the basement for
canned foods. High temperature
not only can reduce the food value
Of stored products, but also offers
encouragement to any organisms
that may not have been killed by
canning.
This matter of a cool storage spot
is a little more difficult for the fam
lily in an apartment or rooms. If
canned goods are to be put in a
closet, be sure that heating pipes
do not pass through the closet. If
canned goods must be stored in the
kitchen, put them on shelves near
the floor rather than near the CELL
ing. Pick a storage room or closet
with one or more walls to the out
side Of the building. If the room
has windows that can be opened
enough to cool the room In winter,
fine. Just be sure that the tempera-
ture never gets near the danger
point Of freezing. q:
Food in tins that has been frozen
may be dangerous, for cans that
seem to be sealed tight though
bulging, may spring q seam, 50 that
the food spoils.
The family that has little space
in the home may be able to find cool
dark storage space elsewhere and
keep a small supply on the kitchen
shelves at home. and replenish the
stock from the storage at intervals.

Irrigation in Montgomery
Cooperative Tests With Pumpers
Designed to Increase Productivity
by jones BirchfieId

Water pumped from streams and
ponds will be diverted over Mont
gomery County pastures next sum-
mer, increasing their productivity
more than twofold, If demonstra-
tions now being planned prove sue
cessful.
Plans for the irrigation project,
believed to be one of the first of its
kind in the country, are being
worked out comparatively by County
Agent o. w. Anderson, the Farm
Bureau, headed by James D. King,
and the Soil Conservation Service.
The reason for the project is to
induce higher yields.
Provided by the Farm Bureau
are three bumpers capable of de-
livering 500 gallons of water a min
ute. Two of them, to be used ex-
clusively for the project, will be
able to irrigate 300 acres a day,
giving precipitation of one-half
inch. If the precipitation is cut to
one-fourth inch during the more
moist seasons, the acreage irrigated
each day may be doubled.
Mr.. Anderson estimated irrigation
of pastures will at least double their
productivity and that the yield
from irrigated field crops should in
crease by 10 per cent.
Answer to Long Study.
Montgomery County is dairy
county and pastures are one of our
big crops" Mr.. Anderson said
Most of our farms are overstocked
and farm leaders have been study
ing for good many years now how
to increase land productivity in
order not to have to reduce the
livestock.
Irrigation, plus plant food, will
do the job. We will bring enough
water to keep the grass growing at

For Care in Moving, Dividing Plants

need protection while the work is
going on.
The next step is to life all plants;
place them in shady place and
cover with moist burlap.
Spade Soil Deeply.
Spade the soil as deeply as you
can, breaking up clods and remov-
ing weeds, grass and trash. Add
the compost, peat moss or what
ever you have, the bone meal and
the fertilizer and mix them thor
oughly into the soil. Use gener-
Gus quantities of the humus, since
it will increase the water-holding
capacity, prevent crusting and en-
able the plant roots to penetrate
Because it should last for several
years, it is often desirable to use
several kinds of humus. Manure
will disappear rather quickly; the
compost is longer lasting, while
the peat moss win last the longest
The soil should be raked off and
the bed laid out for the plants
Stakes may be set for each plant
This is especially helpful in getting
desired arrangements. Pieces OF
rubber hose are convenient to mark
off group paintings.
Before planting starts 1t may
be necessary to go over those plants
which are to be divided. Some
such as the columbine, should be
divided to avoid trouble from crown
rot. Most of the plants will need
to have the soil washed from the
roots so that the natural divisions
may be readily seen. Pull them
apart, not into small sections but
into medium-sized plants so that
the garden will make good shoy-
ing next spring. Small divisions
will help greatly to expand your
stock of plants, but usually they
will be still small the next spring
Only the chrysanthemum and hardy
aster make full-sized plants the
same season. A few of the fibrous-
rooted plants, such as the Siberian
and japanese iris must be chopped
into sections. The tall, bearded iris
may be easily cut into sections, pref
erably with two. or more fans.
Mulch After Ground Freezes.
Each plant or group Of plants
should be placed on their new To-
cation with the roots well spread
and soil firmly pressed about them
A good soaking of the bed will help
give them a good start. Ample
moisture is normally expected at
this season of the year, but if there
are periods of dryness, do not hes
itate to use the hose. 1t is es-
sential that the plants be forced
into active growth so that they will
be well rooted and established be-
fore freezing weather.
If the plants make normal growth
they will need little or no protection
during the winter. However, if for
some reason they are not well es-
tablished, then the garden should
be mulched as soon as the soil
freezes. Compost makes a good
mulch, as do pine boughs and peat
moss. Manure usually brings too
many weed seeds. Leaves, unless
held up by pine 'boughs or brush,
tend to pack and hold too much
moisture for best results. Remem-
ber-do not mulch until after the
ground is frozen.

Each season there is a need to
study the perennial border, noting
that there are spots where the
plants are too crowded; the soil is
getting hard and impoverished;
grass has gotten in or indications
that care is needed if the border
is to be productive.
Some perennials, mostly the fall
bloomers, are best moved or divided
in the early spring. This group in
cludes some which cannot be moved
safely in the fall-chrysanthemums,
Japanese anemoneS, bergamont,
hardy asters, etc. Then there are
those whose rest period comes in
the summer and it is not until this
past that they may be safely dis
turbed. The oriental poppy is the
best example. Most of the early
spring bloomers, however, may be
safely moved and divided in the fall
but there are a few of even this
group which should not be moved
until crowding or exhausting soil
makes it necessary. Peonies, jap
anese anemones, Christmas rose
(Helleborus), the gas-plant CDictam-
nus, and the bleedingheart are
plants that improve with age, or
are so shocked by disturbance that
they may sulk and not bloom for a
year or more.
1t is safe to say that there are
very few perennial borders that can
be overhauled completely in any one
season. Spring bloomers that may
be safely lifted, divided and re-
planted in the well enriched soil
include such old standbys as prim-
rose, columbine, alyssum, painted
daisy Pyrethrum coreopsis, gail
lardia, myrtle or periwinkle Vince
minor, etc. That is to say they may
be lifted if it is done a month to
six weeks before freezing weather is
expected.
Weather and Soil Conditions.
After the fall rains come, the
weather and the soil are usually con-
ducive to garden work. Many weeds
are through for the season, the
days are not so hot as to wilt the
plants and there are not many other
garden tasks.
1t may be desirable to increase
certain plants for better showing
in the border. To summarize, we
may say that fall is a good time to
overhaul the border, lifting as many
Iof the spring bloomers as it is safe
to disturb; reworking the soil and
Irearranging the plants if desirable.
Divide those of which a greater
number is wanted but do it by the
first of October. A week earlier is
desirable if the fall rains have
started.
There are several steps to be taken
before a plant is lifted. The first
should be to obtain a sufficient
quantity of compost, peat moss or
well-rotted manure, some bone meal
and some good commercial fer
tilizer. Secondly, make a plan of
the reorganized bed. Provide a
supply of markers so that each new
plant will be protected. And last of
all, 60 over the bed carefully mark
ing those plants which are not to
be disturbed. A good plan is to
place a. basket over those which
