RocKABY SONG.
It's euddlc-me time by the nursery clock
For turn-out-the-h light time is near,
And lust round the corner veivety
Is waiting to meet you, my dear.
So rockaby here
And rockaby there
Then rockaby that way
And k's,, Bsy for the ride with roekaOy
For it's half-past-goins- o-bed.
And soon Il win be a quarter TO- sleep
For each little tired little head.
So rockaby near "
And rockaby far
And follow the trail of the rockaby
Then rockaby softly
And rorkahv still
To rockaby babyland over the hill.

AFRICAN VIOLET PEST?
From Mrs. A. H. p, Siluer Spring..
Every time my African violets are
ready to bloom the bud falls of
before it ever gets to open. I got
curious about this and got a mag
nifying glass and examined the
plants. I found small. fat, red
worms, which I sponged off with
DDT on a cotton swab Now !
find fine earth on the top Of the
soil 0ike an earthworm makes In
the garden), and upon close exam
ination I find q tiny white worm
running around. Have any of my
RICH neighbors had this trouble,
and what did they do? Maybe this
has been answered at some time,
but not being interested at the time,
I missed it. My plants are still
healthy looking and I'd like to get
them 'fumigated" before they are
too far gone, since I have found
the trouble before it's too late.

In reply to your query on how to
kill a mole that is running your
lawn, I will say that we had mole
hills all over our lawn and found
that by putting mothballs in the
openings of the hills the moles dis
appeared. I don't know whether itI
killed them, I doubt 1t, but they are
gone.

SOS!

This is an urgent SOS. on behalf
of the cafeteria of our small school.
We have about 20 children for whom
we are running small cafeteria and
we are receiving Government sub
sidy. They have sent us a lot of
dried milk and honey and we are in
desperate need of some recipes with
which we can use them in ways that
the children would like. Please
help us as it is a shame to just let
them stand and we don't know any
way to use either one. We would
appreciate any recipes which will
use them and still be simple to make
and economical.
