the ball-carrier for first downs but
they we're deep in Virginia territory
Penn's clinching touchdown fol-
lowed Virginia's refusal to gamble
midway in the last quarter. Trailing
by six points,. the Cavaliers had
worked the ball to their own 81, with
fourth down and a yard to go when
Grimes came in to kick instead OF
going for the yard. His boot was
blocked partially and drifted out OF
bounds after wobbling for 9-yard
gain.
Minisi Crosses Goal.
Penn took over on the Virginia
80 and with Minisi and Deuber alter
mating as ball-carriers, drove to the
IS before Deuber was injured. Minisl
made 9 yards, Luongo first down
on the 4-yard line and MiniSi, the
ex-Navy backfeld great, scored.
Burt Hoffman of Penn then re-
covered tumble by Dick Michaels
on the Virginia Is and Al Sica threw
a low pass which Don Schneider
dived for and caught on the V1r-
ginia 2-yard line. But in their hurry
to beat the final gun, Harry Eden
born and Sica failed to make the
touchdown.
Penn, which took advantage of
Virginias eyes on Minisi to spring
Deuber loose as its outstanding ball
carrier, completed only three passes
and none of them contributed in
any way to the scoring. And the
Penn pass defense which has fune-
toned to perfection in previous
games in its Al victorious season,
frightened in the second half to pre-
vent any Virginia completions.
Virginia, which had not been tested
in six winning games, gave a COM
mendable performance before the
biggest crowd ever to see Char
lottesville team play, In defeat, it
may cling to its position among
the top 10 in the country.

The gardener will find, when he
goes to the plantsman or nursery,
that commercial growers handle
only standard perennials, those for
which there is an established de-
mand. They cannot afford to devote
space, labor and materials to those
kinds for which there is limited
demand.
This leaves it to the gardener
either to grow his own plants or to
limit his gardening activity to
varieties obtainable from the grow
erS. This is not as serious as it may
seem, although it may force few
gardeners to turn to the growing OF
plants from seed, something in
which they may lack experience.
Growing ones own plants has an
advantage besides that of growing
the more unusual kinds. 1t avoids
the risk of introducing diseases.
Late July or early August is the
preferred time for starting seeds OF
perennials and biennials. If sown
at that season the plants should be
large enough for transplanting to
the border in late September. This
will give them sufficient time to be-
come well rooted and established
before cold weather sets in. The
disadvantage, of course, is that the
hot, oftentimes dry weather of mid
summer makes seed growing some
what more of task than at other
seasons of the year.
1t does. take more care and effort
to grow plants from seed sown in

Fluorine and DOT
Protect Clothing
Against Moths
By Iva Byrd Johnson
rsinia Extension Clothing Special,


Clothing stored for the summer is
subject to damage by moths unless
adequate protection is given.
Although no mothproofing solu-
ton that will give permanent and
absolute protection under all cir
cumstances has yet been developed
there are several chemical solutions
that will give real protection to fab
RIGS during many years In storage
Fluorine solutions are among
these, and may be purchased for
home use. II these solutions are
used according to the directions
given by the manufacturer they will
give good protection. against moths
for limited time.
If they are sprayed on, the spray
ing must be so thorough that all
parts of the fabric are moistened
The new DOT mothproofing solu-
ton now appearing on markets fol-
the first time are different. These
not only kill the insects by contact
but also leave an effective residue
on fabrics-and also on closet walls
and floors-that gives future protec-
ton. Evidence so far indicates that
these are the best all-around sprays
yet developed, but the scientists are
continuing to test them.
Some questions to be answered vel
on DOT are what effect does II
have on color and on fabric? We
know it does protect our garments
against moth damage.

1t takes 300-70O gallons of water tc
grow l pound OF plant tissue-leaves
roots, stems, and so on-and the
bigger the plant the more water II
requires. So, If the weatherman
fails you in July or August, take
matters into your own hands. II
you have water under pressure. give
your garden a good three to four
hour soaking.
II you have to carry water, make
it do as much work as possible.
Make shallow ditch around each
plant. Then pour on enough water
so it soaks down to the roots of the
plant.
Before the surface dries, give the
wet soil q mulch to save the mois-
ture. Straw, hay or even some loose
dry soil pulled over the wet surface
will do the trick.
The frequent stirring Of the sur
face soil with steel rake will stim-
ulate the growth Of the vegetable
crops and control weeds. The sur
face should be stirred after rain
just as soon as the ground is dry
enough to work. The stirring OF the
soil is done primarily to kill weeds
but there is need to maintaining q
loose, friable condition and avoiding
packing OF soil even where no weeds
are present. The roots of plants re-
quire air as we'll as moisture, and
frequent stirring of the surface soil
admits the air and at the same time
conServeS moisture.
Shallow cultivation during dry
weather forms what Is known as q
soil mulch, preventing the escape Of

the best time to transplant. Their
root systems then are small and
there is not the difficulty of tear
ing the plants apart and they are
not likely to be starting into spind-
ling growth due to crowding or lack
Of sunlight.
In fiat the plants are normally
spaced two by two inches, but in
bed they are given wider spacing,
the maximum being four by six
inches If there is likelihood of their
staying in the bed until spring. The
closely spaced plants in the fiat will

Some gardeners prefer to trans

atively easy to move about. Others
prefer plant beds with the wider
spacing. Thre are advantages and
disadvantages to each. The number
Of plants to be grown and the avail

garden will determine which is
better for the individual gardener

the pot in the box or frame where
it is to stay until the seeds have
sprouted. When the pots are all in
place, q piece Of burlap may be
spread over them for protection
from rain and sun.
The soil mixture in the seed
frame generally consists of q mix
ture of garden loan, peat moss and
coarse sand. This can be varied
through the use of we'll pulverized
compost, vermiculite, tly-ash, ETC.
The major consideration should be
to obtain q soil that is retentive OF
moisture, friable and relatively free
from weeds and diseases.
Speaking of diseases, the damp
ing-of fungus used to be a real
problem in raising seedlings. With
the advent Of sphagnum moss, fly
ash and vermiculite we seldom hear
of it. These materials seem to pre-
vent it. Formerly we had to be very
careful when watering the seedlings
to keep the surface of the soil rela-
lively dry. We used all manner OF
disinfectants and even baked the
soil in the oven to kill the disease
germs. And still we had losses. To-day
we sow our seed in comparatively
cheap medium and think nothing
about the likelihood of losses from
disease.

In Just about FIVE months comes

The date Is January l, 1913. It's

If you want to reinstate your NSLl
today all you have to do Is sign

there were quite few ex-servicers
sitting on the floor and leaning

july or August than in the spring
Usually q shaded seed bed is a wise
expenditure, but that will be needed
only by the gardener who plans to
grow considerable number OF
plants or a number Of kinds. For
the gardener who only wishes q
hundred or two pansies seed nat
will be adequate. The shaded seed
bed may easily be an open bed in a
lightly shaded location. Generally
it is q bed where the soil has been
improved with the addition Of peat
moss and sand so that 1t will not
crust nor dry out readily. The
shade may be provided by stretch
ing a piece of burlap over stakes or
a light frame covered with Stats
Qaths). The shade serves to break
the force of driving rain as well as
to keep the sun from baking the
surface of the ground and cooking
the tender young plants.
For the raising of q half dozen
plants of q new dwarf sunf1ower, q
hard to-get rock plant, or those
unusual primroses, a gardener needs
only a few flower pots or q single
fiat. The pots are better when
growing several kinds-kindS that
terminate over a period and thus
will need transplanting at different
times. The Average 4-inch flower
pot should produce Is to so seed
lings, more than enough plants for
the usual perennial border. Some
gardeners place piece Of wood
across the pot dividing it into two
parts. The pots may be plunged
into q box Of sand placed in q
semishady location, and they NAV
be covered with burlap until the
seedlings break through the surface
Of the planting mixture.
The soil mixture for starting seeds
Is a matter for = discussion. Some
experts will insist that the new
mineral mixture - vermiculite is
very good, others report losses. The
Department of Agriculture recon-
mends the use Of Sphagnum moss.
The Sphagnum Is inexpensive and
can be used in almost any type of
container. The dried moss is pull
verified by rubbing through sieve
made of one-fourth inch hardware
cloth. The pulverized moss may be

that have been treated against the
beetles in Montgomery County. The
various types of spray equipment

While 1t will be too early to make
a full report Of the effectiveness Of
the control program. it is expected
that preliminary results will be en-
[couraging.

spite unusual weather conditions

control so far seems adequate. He
said the real test of the program will
come later when we find out II our
work will keep the beetles out Of the
corn fields"
Mr.. Anderson said the large num-
bers OF beetles this year has brought
flood Of requests for spray service.
He said those who requested the
service by May would be cared for.
but added that 1t would be doubtful
liz many others would receive the
service
In Montgomery public funds were
made available for spraying vegeta-
ton preferred by beetles along ths
roadsides, and the Farm Bureau
made available spray service for
private land owners. In addition to
the DOT sprays. traps are being
used and milky disease spore dust In
being spread on pasture lands to in
feet the beetle grubs.
Not until next year will the COM
plete results OF the program be
known. Then it will be possible to
determine if there has been a re-
duction in beetle numbers. B.

Veterans Guide
By Maj. Thomas M. Mol

It's funny thing about this dead
line date. Back in February Congress
passed a law extending the time In
which q veteran could reinstate his
insurance the easy way. Until that
law was passed, the deadline fol
easy reinstatement was February. i
But that law said Gen. Bradley
could set any date he wanted.
So Bradley decided that August l
this prior year, would be the dead
line, and he made statement thai
there would be no further extension
He figured, I guess, that from Feb
ruary to August would give in
surances-w veterans time enough
to get their lapsed insurance back
into shape.
I've been checking from time to
time with the veterans administra-
ton to try to find out whether Brad
ley would stick to the August dead
line. All ever got was sure, as fal
as we know there will be no further
extension" i....
So it came as q surprise when
learned last week that the VA wa!
going to give veterans an ever
longer time to reinstate their in.
surance without taking physica
examination.
The reason, it's easy to see, is thai
fewer veterans have reinstated thar
the VA hoped would reinstate. Fac
lis, fewer veterans have their insur
ance in good standing today thai
last February. There are 10000
fewer policies In force today thai
in February.
So now holders of the 1906 ,00
policies which have been allowed u
lapse will have until January ! II
do something about it.
