the plants as soon as their rows
are clearly marked and they are
large enough to catch hold OF
easily.
Vincent says the three weeds,
prevent surface crust, and prevent
water-run-off. H.
If you want to save yourself
some work, as well as to keep
the weeds from robbing the soil
of food and moisture and from
shading and crowding the vege-
table plants, you will kill the
weeds as soon as they poke their
heads above-ground, or earlier.
"Just scrape the SOIL" says Vim
cent, sand use care with both the
hand and power cultivator not
to 60 too close to the plants or
deeper than about / inch. II
the surface plant roots are cut,
broken or disturbed in any other
way, the young plants will be
stunted and will not make the
early rapid growth that is SO i'm
portant for early yields and maxi
mum development. ...--. =. :. ~
Furthermore, injury to these
surface roots is one of the chief
causes of early blossom drop in
the case of beans and several of
the vine crops. It is good rule,
after the beans and vine crops
start to blossom, to stop hoeing
altogether except in the center of
the rows" Ia
A second reason for cultivatig,
according to Vincent, is to prevent
a surface crust forming. A bad
feature about surface crust is
that it hinders air circulation and
thus decreases activity of soil
bacteria. A surface crust may
also hinder water penetration.
The gardener, should usually
break up the surface crust before
he irrigates..
Vincent advises against hoeing
or cultivating "too MUCH" how
ever. Stirring of the soil exposes
additional moist soil to the air,
and much of the moisture will be
lost through evaporation.
There is no "rule or thumb"
says Vincent, to tell the gardener
how often he should irrigate.
Keeping a sharp eye on the APP
pearance of the plants and on
the amount of moisture in the soil
down 2 or inches is the best rule
here. Never let the plants wilt
"perceptibly" for need of water,
he says, for this may stunt them
and cause blossom drop. You
can tell whether most soils need

Go Underground Expert Says In
Giving Advice on Home Gardening

(This is the sixth of a series OF
seven gardening stories that are
appearing regularly in the Agri-
cultural News. Next weeks story
will discuss what insecticides to
use against pests that attack warm
season vegetables.)
If c. L. Vincent gave just two
words of advice to the home gar
dener, the two words would prob
ably be, go underground"
Several of the secrets of good
gardening lie in knowing what
the plants look like underground
and what the moisture condition
is down 2 or inches, according
to this state college horticulturist
For instance, he says, the gar
.dener would not be inclined to
cultivate deeper than about
inch if he knew that most vege-
tables send out roots to within
2 to 3 inches of the ground sur
face-which is the richest part of
the soil, usually.
Also, knowing the conditions OF
the root systems of his .vege-
tables, the gardener would not
thin the excess plants only cas-
they are eaten by the family
with the possible exceptions of
radishes and small portions of
the rows of other kinds. He
would, instead, thin the bulk of

more water by taking sample
at 2 or 3 inches depth and squeez-
ing it in your hands. If the soil
forms a soft, moist ball that
crumbles easily, you can put off
irrigating for awhile. But other
wise add more moisture at once.
The best time of the day TO
irrigate usually is during the
morning. However, where irri-
CATION water is scarce, it may be
best to apply it in the evening,
thus conserving water loss due to
evaporation. 80.
Vincent says a question often
asked by farmers is: "Will my
plants be injured if I sprinkle
them while they are in blossom"
In most cases, the answer to this
is "No";; the sprinkling, however,
should not be done every day
while the plants are poisoning,
for then it may interfere with
pollination and fruit-setting. A
good rule is not to irrigate until
it is necessary, and then to give
the ground a thorough soaking.
One good watering is worth q
dozen surface sprinkEngs. In
sprinkler irrigation, Vincent
recommends that a fine spray be
used on young plants, instead of
coarse droplets that may wash
the soil away from their roots.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Wilhelm
Mueller, the first German since the
war to fly to the United States to
marry an American girl, arrived at
La Guardia Field today to be greet
ed with a hug and kiss by his
fiancee, a former Army nurse.
Mueller came on a quota visa al
lowing him permanent residence and
said he intends to become an Ameri-
can citizen as quickly as possible.
His intended bride, Mrs. Thelma
Damerian of Taunton, Mass, whom
he met more than Is years ago
when he was working as an engl-
neer in Boston, drove to New York
to meet him.
The bride-to-be, dark-eyed and
with dark hair, parried questions
about her age as she waited for
Mueller's arrival by saying she was

she had paid his fare and also had
paid his $40 visa fee because Muel-
ler had been unable to raise the
money in Germany.
She wore topaz engagement ring

left Germany.
She said she had met Mueller
twice at parties in Boston between
1890 and 1882 and had not seen him
again until 1945 when she was at
the 50th Field Hospital in Paris
and he, an American prisoner, came
to fix a radio and recognized her.
She said Mueller was terribly de-
pressed" at the time because he had
learned that his wife and two chill
dren had been killed in Germany.
She was transferred to Frankfurt
and he came to see her there after
he had been released. They decided
to get married when she found out
that she was to be sent back to
Paris but were unable to make
arrangements then.
