Plan for NeWL LuWnFu Ahead
- Green Manure Crops Should Be Sown
As First Step in Preparing Soil
By w. n. Younaman
By w. n. Younqmun
Cardsn Editor

How to improve soil for new
lawn and flowers without undue
expense can be most easily solved
by the use of soil improving crops.
This method may delay planting
Of the lawn for season or two but
it will pay big dividends in the
long run.
A number of crops may be
planted in late summer or early
fall which will grow during late
fall and early winter as well as in
early spring. These crops are
plowed under in the spring and q
summer growing crop planted
which, in turn, may be turned
under in August. Plant the new
lawn in September.
A green manure crop is sown
much as any other crop. Provide
a deeply worked and pulverized
seed bed. If the soil needs lime
and phosphate-most of our soils
dot should be applied at plow-
ing time to distribute them well
About 20 to 35 pounds Of ground
limestone and 20 to 25 pounds OF
super-phosphate per 1000 square
feet of surface will usually suffice
Legume crops should be inocu-
lated; /. e., the seed should be
treated with a bacteria culture be-
fore planting to make the best
growth and to gather nitrogen
from the air. The culture may be
obtained from the seed store and
it comes either as a powder or as a
jelly-like mass. Dilute with water
stirring thoroughly, before pour
ing over the seed. Stir the seed
to insure proper distribution of
the bacteria.

New Insecticide

The ox-eye, a common Ameri.
can weed, has yielded up a power
full new insecticide more toxic to
houseflies than pyrethrum.
1t is not yet know, the Agricul-
ture Department said, whether it
is toxic to other insects, or what
its effects will be on man, animals,
plants or soils.
Pyrethrum, one of the safest in.
Secticides, cannot be manufac.
tured economically because Of the
hand labor required in raising
the plants from which 1t comes.
The new insecticide comes from
the roots of the ox-eye, however.
and may be harvested mechanic
cally.

more than two inches deep. In
planting a new bed it is i'm
portant to insure perfect drain
age. even though 1t should mean
raising the bed few inches.
The removal Of spent bloom is
desirable since 1t keeps the garden
looking fresh and vigorous. Also,
many plants tend to stagnate
once they have formed seed. The
preventing Of seed formation thus
is important to continuous bloom
The removal Of spent blooms on
roses. especially on the polyanthas,
seems to have a similar effect.
II the perennials have been
backward and unproductive, ii
may benefit them by lifting, re-
working the soil and replanting
Sometimes the lack of vigor is due
to the soil becoming impoverished
other times it may be due to COM
petition with tree roots which can
be removed when the soil is

AS the new growth on the
azaleas begins to stiffien it is the
time to take cuttings for propa-
gating-evergreen kinds only. Use
4 to 6 inch pieces, remove the

Farm Field Day
Is Fast Becoming
Educational Force

The farm field day is becoming
real force in agricultural educa-
tion.
It combines the social aspects
Of the old fashioned husking bee
with the educational qualities OF
a farm demonstration. Farmers
and agriculture leaders have been
quick to see the possibilities of
the field day, and during the sum-
mer months hardly a week passes
without one or more scheduled in
the rural areas. @
Field days usually follow a we'll
cut pattern. Rural families, whose
social life has been changed by
the automobile, find the field day
an excuse to gather-to meet
neighbors and exchange every
thing from pickle recipes to gossip
There are always experts to give
demonstrations of the latest de-
velopments in animal husbandry
There may, for example, be DEM
onstrations Of hoof trimming, pest
control, beef or dairy cattle man.
agement, or any other phase OF
livestock management.
There may be tours Of pastures
and crop land. Explanations OF

creased crop yields were obtained
Sometimes there are cattle judg.
ing contests. with prizes for the

observation, and few who attend
fail to take home some new idea
that results in better farming.

Like people, a lot of strange
dogs are getting together for the
first time all over the country. II
is vacation time and many people
are taking their dogs with them
TO summer homes or on vacation
trips. Hence, your dog may be
making a number of new canine
friends or enemies. And no mat
ter how well trained your dog
may be. he will perhaps get into
fights with other dogs. Here are
some tips on dog fights:
Few male dogs will attack q
female dog. nor will q large dog
often attack a smaller one. When
your dog runs up to a strange dog
on the street, do not call him
away too quickly. If you do, the
other dog is likely to think yours
a coward and attack him as he
walks away. When trying to sep
arate two fighting dogs, never
whip them. as it only encourages
them to continue fighting.
A quick way to stop a fight i.
to choke the offending animals
by placing a strap or chain arounc
their necks. Care should be
taken in doing this as in the tur-
moil of battle a dog may unknow-
ingly bite his own master. An
other method is to throw water
on the fighting dogs. In real
stubborn cases add a little house.
hold ammonia to the water.
II your dog develops a dryness
of the skin and hair it often re-
suits in the appearance of bran
like, grayish-white scales in the
coat. Such condition is called
dandruf or scurf.

California. The second included
81 rabbis and ministers of South

Southland Jewish Organization.
A District case that went back
to 1913 finally reached the Su-
preme Court stage yesterday, only
to be denied a review.
1t concerned conflicting claims
of the Government and of the
Smoot Sand and Gravel Co. and
James and Lottie May Martin to
f1lled-in land along the Anacos-
tia river at the foot of South
Capitol street.
The Justice Department, in
1918, filed suit to establish United
States title, not only to the origi-
nal land bordering the river, but
to the fill and to submerged land
in the area claimed by the Mar
tins and the Smoot Company.
Decisions Stand.
District Court and the Court of
Appeals eventually ruled that the
United States had no right, title,
or interest in any of the land or
a wharf in the specified area. The
private claimants said they had
sole title to it by virtue of ripar-
ian rights given their predecessors
when Maryland coded land to the
United States in 1891.
The Court of Appeals held,
however, that the United States
could take the wharf and fill. If
necessary. without compensation.

The Government appealed to
the Supreme Court. The private
claimants also appealed from the
decision relating to possible TAX
ing of part of the property with
