Vacation notes: The average
dog, until he knows better, will
eat sand and drink salt water.
Then. Of course, he becomes sick.
Normally a dog will vomit UP the
salt water or sand but sometimes
he won't and then requires some
attention on your part. II this is
true with your dog, don't feed
him for "a hours. Give him re-
peated doses of mineral oil and. in
severe cases, a warm soap-and-
water enema. !
Often a dog with tender skin
goes in swimming in salt water
and, when he has dried out, his
skin will itch. He will start
scratching and sometimes scratch
SO vigorously that he will cause
sores to appear on his body.
Should salt water affect your dog
In this manner, make 1t point to
wash him OF with fresh water
each night after he has romped in
the salt water.
Many dogs are already hosts to
their usual summer visitors, deaS.
These parasites are one OF the
chief carriers Of tape worm. A
flea feeds on tape worm eggs
the dogs swallows the flea and
thus the tape worm enters the
dogs system. The average life Of
a flea is about two months, al
though some may live a year or
two. A flea must feed on the
blood Of an animal. # an animal
is not around where the flea can
establish a home soon after hatch
ing. it will die Of starvation.
Derris root, q pine oil disinfec-
tant and rotenone may be used to
kill fieas. Good results are also
obtained by any Of the prepara-
tions on the market, many Of
which have one or more Of these
basic ingredients.
Don't worry If your dog eats
grass. It's true that 1t may be O
sign Of some minor trouble. but In
o majority Of instances the dog
does it purely out Of instinct as q
conditioner.
Eating grass does one Nor two
things: It either causes, them to
vomit, or the grass is digested into
the intestinal tract and helps to
remove excess waste and infec-
tions.
Many dogs hate to be given O
bath. One reason Is that they do
not Like the sudden immersion In

Cool, rainy weather has held
back the development Of hot
weather crops Of flowers &nd
vegetables. However. warm weather
should be here soon and then they
will make good growth. In the
meantime. some losses from seed
and tubers rotting in the ground
have been reported. Lettuce, peas
and al Of the cool-weather crops
have made good growth and pro-
duced well. Pansies have done
unusually well this summer.
busting and spraying has been
a tiresome Job with all the rain
that deluged this area in May, $50
inches as compared with $40 aver
age. Most gardeners have found
it a chore keeping up with the
rapid growth Of grass in lawn and
in flower beds. Protection against
disease and insect pests is a con-
tinuous job, although the use Of o
combination dust or spray has IN
most cases given effective results.
Compared with unprotected gar
dens the results are very notice
able.
Tulips, narcissus and hyacinth
bulbs should be dug by now If they
are to be lifted this spring. Dry
those that have been dug carefully
before storing for the summer. A
dry, airy situation is best, other
wise there Is danger OF molding.

Penstemons Growing in Favor
Some of the Newer Varieties at Shows;
Coarse.to.Gravelly Soil Best Medium
By w. n. Younamon

Local gardeners seem to be pay
fng more attention TO the Pen
stemon-we seldom use the COM
mon name, beards-tongue. This
may be due to the descriptions
given by the wildflower enthusi-
asts. Or it may be that the nurs-
erymen, with their new named
varieties. have focused attention
upon them. Certainly, they are
not newcomers to many local gar
deners who have. had plants OF
the Eastern Penstemon. p. hir-
sutus, for many years. Du1ng
the past few years spikes Of the
snowy P. gloxinoides (Gloxinia
penstemon) have been noted In
local flower shows.
In the West it Is not uncommon
to find gardeners who specialize in
the Penstemons just as others spe-
cialize in iris. roses or some other
plant family, but there the cli-
mate is more favorable Penste-
mons do not like a wet soil, nor
too hot o midday sun. Generally
speaking, the Penstemons thrive
in a gravelly soil Casually re-
ferred to as "scree". Few will
appreciate this requirement until
they try growing some Of the love-
ly Western Penstemons In a heavy
soil. The plants will start of
bravely and probably thrive for q
year or two until the moist soil
encourages the development OF
crown rot.
Our native Eastern Penstemon.
p. hirsutus, and the Midwestern,
sometimes called the Firecracker
Penstemon, P. barbatus. are rela-
lively tolerant Of soil conditions
and thrive In local gardens with
out special soil preparation. The
new named varieties seem to have
some Of this tolerance for our
soil and sun.
Foliage and Flower Ranges.
The Penstemons offer o wide
range Of foliage and flowers. A
few are large enough for the back
ground of the perennial border.
Others are more refined in foliage
texture and do well In the middle
foreground. And, there are O
number that belong In the rock
garden. Some are evergreen and
more or less shrubby. From this
1t would seem that one might find
one or more useful species for any
particular situation. However, 1t
Is not quite that simple, because,
except for the two species men
toned above. most local garden
soils will need to be given special
treatment. Sand and gravel must
be mixed into the upper 8 or 4
inches and even then the bed

At the risk of sounding like a
man playing a concerto for one
note on a single-stringed lutte,
we're going to have to put in an
other word about studio audiences
and television programs. These
plaques aff1ict the variety shows
most seriously. Possibly this is
because vaudeville performers
never have found monetary re-
ward sufficient, but must have the
further sustenance of laughter
and cheers.
Now a comedian may have a
right to surround himself with
people whose laughter he can
hear. but a man sitting in his
living room has a right to be
spared the sight of those same
people. "Broa dway Revue
(WNBW, WTTG-Friday, 8 pmJ
is a surprising offender on this
score-surprising because it prom
ised in the beginning that it
would provide the television ap-
proach to the intimate revue.
Still, it gives us these glimpses
of a theaterful of people staring
stolidy or happily at stage. They
look, frankly, more entertained
than entertaining.
A locally produced effort. Get
Together" (WNBW - Thursday
10 p.mD, is another culprit. The
attempt here seems to be to re-
create a night club atmosphere,
with the studio audience seated
at tables sampling the sponsors
wares. However advisable the
attempt to recreate a cabaret at
mosphere in the living rooms OF
the land, the blunt fact remains
that it can't be done. You can't
feel like you're in a night club
when you're anywhere else. for all
the magic Of video.
The particular camera setup
used on Get Together" is not
much help. You get the feeling.
before it is very far along. that
the headwaiter didn't like the cut
of your clothes or the color of your

where you have to peer over

And, since the entertainment is
directed at those customers" at
the tables, this remains a variety
show televised, but certainly not
q television show.
If these studio audiences repre-
sented no more than the irksome
annoyance each of them is singly,
there would be no point in harp
ing on them. They indicate, how
