WATER FOR GARDEN CROPS

The many slight showers that have
barely wet the surface of the lawn
and garden in many areas of Mary
land this summer have shown the fu-
tility of daily sprinkling or watering
of home grounds or gardens unless
the soil is wet down to depth of 5
or inckes. In a short time, the
slight shower or sprinkling of water
dries out of the surface soil and
leaves the plants worse off than ever,
with most of the roots near the top
of the ground, and unable to get
moisture.
A good steady rain that provides
about an inch of water over the sur
face of the ground soaks in for sever
al inches depth. To match tkis with
the garden hose, requires about 2I3
of a gallon of water for each square
foot of garden or lawn. On garden
space, 10 by 10 feet, 81 gallons of
water would be needed for thorough
watering. Except for watering newly
planted seeds daily, light watering Of
the garden does not pay. 1t is well to
measure the amount of water that
comes from the hose or the lawn
psrinkler in minute, so as to know
how long to leave the water in one
place to apply the correct amount of
water.

Taxes Take Largest
Slice Of Top Salaries

Uncle Sam is getting by far the
largest cut out of those top corpor-
ate salaries the Treasury has brought
back into the news.
Commenting on Treasury reports OF
salaries and bonuses ranging upwards
of $4,000 annually, the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States notes:
The Federal tax collector takes
about $4,000 out Of a 100000 net
income. Surtaxes rise steeply until
the Treasury gets about 85.5 per cent
of a $1,000,000 income.
The man in the 100000 bracket
whose income doubles to 100000 has
only about $4,000 left out of his
"raise" after the Federal tax.
"a company has found" says the
Chamber, chat it has to pay one of
it's executives a 100000 salary in
order that he might net about 100000
after paying Uncle Sam $240, 900. And
he has other taxes to pay in addition
to the Federal income levy!"

sugar allow the juice of three lem
ons. Let stand together all night
and in the morning drain off the

do.) Put in the tomatoes and SIM
mer for twenty minutes after they
boil. Remove the tomatoes and
allow the strip to boil until thick.

Long-haired dogs require more care
than other breeds in the control of
ticks. Clipping the coat is helpful but
by no means necessary. A daily
brushing with a stiff bristled brush
is advisable, followed by use of a
steel-toothed comb. The comb should
be repeatedly dipped in pine oil or
a light turpentine solution.
In combating fieas, ticks and other
parasites, periodic attention should
also be given to the dogs sleeping
quarters and accessories, states the
Gaines Dog Research Center. Wooden

be kept in such condition they could
be returned to Government trans
