This Week in the Garden
By W. n. Younemon
Garden Editor

The hot, humid weather last
week made many garden plants
spring into rapid growth and
caused some concern. If this
warm weather were to continue
until a hard freeze some plants
would be injured, but this seldom
happens. Fall vegetable gardens
have had excellent growth and
have rewarded their owners for
work in a dry, hot September.
Those who planted peas have had
excellent crops.
Fall-sown grass seed is making
good growth, thanks to last weeks
rains. although some reported ero-
sion. To prevent washing, scatter
coarse compost, straw or even
weeds over the slope. If the slope
is steep take old burlap sacks, split
them open and peg down with
sticks or wires. The burlap does
not need to be removed, since the
grass seedlings will grow through
it. The burlap quickly rots.
Dig up amaryllis that were
planted in the border for the sum-
mer, trim of the roots and repot
in a rich soil. If the leaves wither
water may be withheld and the
bulbs allowed to rest. However,
since they do not all act the same,
some being practically evergreen,
the gardener will need to be guided
more by the plants behavior
than the rule book.
Whenever frost kills the dahlia
plants. the tops should be cut off
close to the ground. Leave the
roots undisturbed for several days
or until convenient to dig. they
may safely remain in the ground
for several weeks. After digging,
the clumps should be turned on
their sides to permit the moisture
IN the hollow stem to drain out.
Storage may take any of several
forms. In the old-fashioned I'M
heated cellar we place the clumps
in some out-of- the-way space and
forget them until spring. Today
it is necessary to protect them
from drying out. We may store
in a paper-lined box using peat
moss or some other material to
furnish moisture. Or, we may
store the clumps on the floor in
a cool corner covering with peat
moss which may be moistened &C.
casionally. Still another method
is to place them in a box which
may be buried in the garden. The
mound Is covered with sufficient
leaves or other material to ef-

pizza? If you haven't tried this
dreamy italian delight, then you
have a real treat in store.
The reason more people don't
serve pizza is because of the
dificulty in making the right
kind of dough. Harry Angelica,
that merchant who always has
news for us, now has prepared
pizza dough. 1t comes in three
different sizes inexpensive, too,
and you can keep it for two
weeks in the refrigerator.
With this dough on the mar

Bus Stops Unchanged
Despite Objections

Bus stops for Greyhound Line
Coaches at least for the present will
remain unchanged on Main and Vine
streets, despite objections and a pc
tition presented to the municipal
council at a meeting Monday night.
Councilmen decided to continue
bus stops in their present locale
after receiving a petition protesting
the stop on the Vine street corner
northbound busses.
Signed by residents of Vine, Jack
son and Elm streets, the petition
asked that the northbound bus stop
on Main street. Under the present
arrangement, northbound busses stop
at the Vine street corner, travel one
block down Vine to Jackson, one
block on Jackson to Elm, then up
Elm to Main street.
Councils decision to establish the
stop on Vine street was to elimin-
ate having northbound passengers
cross Main street from the bus sta
ton in Sidney's Drug shop in
boarding or leaving northbound
buses.

Friday Is Last Day
Of Squirrel Season

The 1949 squirrel hunting season
for Ohio closes Friday. Reports
vary as to the success of this years
hunting. Hunters who bagged moth
ing, claim the season was a poor
one while those who had some luck
say, it wasn't bad. Others who re-
ported getting their limits of four
day several times during the
shooting season, declare it was the
best shooting in years.
Hunting was difficult in most
areas because of the lack of wet
weather to soften the footstep of the
hunter. Hunters report good nut
crop which is good news for thous-
ands of squirrels fortunate enough
to look forward to a nice comfort
able winter in some hollow tree.
Hunting license sales for the past
few weeks would indicate that there
was no shortage of hunters in the
woods.
