Ponsies and VioIus Get Started
For Next Year, Surprise With Bloom

II you like pansies and violas,
it is possible to enjoy their flowers
all next summer by planting fresh
seed.
Sow the seed by August Is in a
fiat. Fill the fiat with soil prepared
by mixing a third sharp sand, a
third peat moss. and a third sifted
top soil. Cover the surface with a
half Inch layer of sphagnum moss,
with a little moss to cover them.
Keep moist until the seeds germi-
nate.
The moss will prevent damping-
off, a fungus disease which is dam
gerous in hot weather. Let the
plants grow out in the open until
fall. 1t is better to transplant the
seedlings, setting them 7 to
inches apart in additional flats,
but if you sowed thinly, this can
be skipped and the plants trans
planted to bed or border. Usually
their leaves stay green all winter.
Put some plants in a portion of
the border which is on the north
side Of building. Here they will
get the sun for q brief time morn
ing and evening. with dense shade
the rest of the day. They may not
grow as fast at first as plants in
full sun. but they will soon catch

Many dog owners believe that

wrong. Meat can and should be
the basis of any dogs diet either
in hot or cold weather. Feed your

@. I just purchased a puppy.
Can register this dog? JIM.
A. You cannot register pup un-
less the litter has been registered.
That does not mean that each
pup in litter has to be registered
individually. but rather that the
breeder registers the litter as a
whole stating the number of males
and females, etc.

Life in the Country
Soft Lights of Summer Night Reveal
Strange Beauty of Teen1ing Fields

A bright moon brought restless
ness to The 40 Acres a few nights
ago. The guineas kept up a con-
slant chatter in the oak, the geese
cried their protests from their
pens. and the cows seemed restive
in the front pasture. 1t was a
ghostly night, with the moonlight
filtering through the trees and
making odd shapes on the ground
that moved with the breeze.
No strange animals were about,
am sure. for the dogs were quiet.
In Ireland it would have been a
night for the little people," but
we are too young in this country
to have elves.
On second thought. however. !
am not sure that we don't have
them on The 40 Acres. The over
grown bitches in front and back
make good cover and the honey
suckle that has overgrown most
Of our fences is fine place for
Brownies. And, how else can
explain the strange movement of
my tools? The hammer I lay
down, or wrench I have been US
ing are never there when want
them again. Surely something is
about.
But this night I walked down
into the pasture and was joined
by the filly who came to me from
out of the shadow of a tree. To-
gether we walked on across the
field. breathing in thesmusty scent
of the clover that was getting its
evening bath of dew. AS we
walked on, she would bend her
head now and then to gather up
Ia particularly choice bite Of grass.
We circled the field, checking
on the fences and kicking up a
family of rabbits that make their
home in the honeysuckle hedge.
The f1lly comes at my whistle. I
believe she would follow almost
anywhere I. called her.
Once ! tried to lead her across
a ditch. She was nervous about
it, snorted and refused to go. Then
I took off the lead rope, stepped
to the other side and called for
her to follow. AS I walked away,
she gathered herself, gave a leap
that would have cleared 10 such
bitches. and came plunging up
behind me.
There is pleasantness in the
fields at night that is never pres
ent In the light of day. All of
nature seems softer, and the heavy
air is laden with the scent Of
flowers. AS we walked on, the
moon making our pale shadows
behind us. we came finally to the
gate and parted.

I sat in the front yard the other
night and watched the barn swal-

She had climbed to the top of a

Many dogs are already host to
their usual summer visitors, fleas,
These parasites are one of the
chief carriers of tape worm. A
flea feeds on tape worm eggs
the dog swallows the flea and thus
the tape worm enters the dogs
system. The average life of a flea
lis about two months, although
some may live a year or two. A
flea must feed on the blood of an
animal. If an animal Is not around
on which the flea can establish
a home soon after Matching, it
will die of starvation.
DerriS root, a pine oil disinfec-
tant and retenone may be used to

grown by DR.. Schreiner at the ex-
perimental forest have reached a
height of s feet in one year.
Plantations Of hybrid poplars
are grown from cuttings IL to 16
inches long. If all poplars are to
retain the same characteristics the
cuttings must come from only
one parent tree.
BY projecting his figures from
small number of hybrid poplars
grown in Maine, DR.. Schreiner
estimates that in Is years a farm
er could grow at least 40 cords of
wood per acre with a gross value
of at least $500. Figures like that
make farmers prick up their ears.
To Give Average Care.
Since the Forest Service works
with State foresters in improving
woodland management on private
lands, one part of the experiment
tai forest will be treated as If 1t
were a woodlot owned by the
average farmer.
Using only a team of horses or
a light tractor, the foresters will
cut a few of the marketable trees
every year and clean out worthless
culls and undesirable brush in
their spare time. They will work
toward building up the quality of
growth on the woodlot. And they
will do about as much work as
farmer and his hired hand could
normally do in the woodlot dur
ing slack periods on the farm.
The foresters will keep accurate
time and cost records. Eventually
they will compute exactly how
much money farmer could have
made from his woodlot to supple
ment his income-and the tract
will serve as a clinic and demon
stration for practicing foresters
and farmers who wish to come
and take a look or to have their
problems analyzed.
when you consider that more
than 4 million landowners have
small woodlots on their property
it's easy to see how important it
is to the Nation that these wood
lots be managed properly" Mr..
Rushmore said. Every year log
gers are cutting more saw, timber
than we're growing in the Nation.
You can see where that will even
tually lead U.S."

Fost-Growing Poplar Trees Show
How Old Land Can Be Productive
BY Duncon Scott

Thousands of acres of one-time
farm land on the knobby hills OF
Maryland's Western Shore and OF
Northern Virginia are SO badly
eroded they will no longer grow
cultivated crops prof1tably. AS
time passes, more and more land
owners are coming to see the wis
dom Of returning these wornout
acres to trees.
Put like that, it sounds simple
You sit by until your trees grow
thick and tall-and then you har-
vest them.
Unfortunately, it isn't that easy,
On many fields, where tobacco was
once grown and shipped abroad.
the topsoil is so depleted that
even trees have a tough time TAX
Ing hold. Most of the vegetation
that does come back turns out to
be undesirable brush and inferior
types Of hardwood. The more
valuable trees simply don't thrive
under these adverse conditions.
They die out and poorer grades of
trees take over.
This problem is matter of

forest at Beltsville, Md.
Latest Data Always Sought.
"One of these days." said Fran
els M. Rushmore, research for
ester on the experimental forest,
'hundreds-perhaps thousands
of farmers will want to know the
best way to get wornout fields re-
forested and make woodlots more
productive. We want to be ready
to give them the answer" -.
Aside from studies of the Vir-
ginia pine, the experimental for
est is widely known for its work
with hybrid poplars. DR.. Ernst j.
Schreiner. stationed at the For
est Services station in Upper Dar-
by, Pa, has been working with
hybrid poplars for 25 years.
His tests indicate that in New
England hybrid poplars will pro-
duce as much pulpwood in Is
years as native poplars will pro-
duce in IS years. In effect, the
use of hybrids may step up the
growth rate as much as three
times. Some hybrid poplars

the hottest weather.
Remember. almost anything you
sow at this time of the year will

have sprouted and the seedlings
plants have developed long roots.
If you make it a practice to use
a top layer of sphagnum moss, on
which the seed is sown. you need
have no fear of overwatering. The
moss has anti-biotic qualities
which prevent the development OF
damping g-off fungus: and it keeps
moist much longer than soil, SO
that you really save work and
worry when you use it. A few cents
worth of seed purchased from a
florist or scotsman will be suffi-
cient for several flats.

The daylilies are of easiest cul-

which contains some compost and

Established clumps may be lifted
