The new gymnasium at

has been held up some by
certain shortages but it
looks like it will be complet-

are placed on cars bearing
out-of-town plates and read
as follows: You are welcome

enjoyed your visit and will
come again. We believe you
innocent of intended VIOLA
ton. This is not a notice to
appear before the Mayor but
your number has been taken,

compliance" 1t is this sort
of courtesy which helps
London make friends.
WINNER
Lot of people get the idea
that when business is good
a lot of individuals get rich.
Perhaps, but as a comparison
consider the facts which show
that the net income of 730
business concerns throughout
the country rose 1870 in 1850.
But taxes, as the result of
this increase, more than
doubled for a great many.
The government is the big
winner.
BATHROOM

quentiai facts CLEANED at ram

iroughage and lower feeding costs
in two years.
Looking back over the years
when haymaking was a gamble
with the weather, I don't see how
we did without the drier." MIR
Smith said. IT certainly wouldn't
want to be without one. now that
I've seen what it will do"
Tomorrow evening Northern Vir-
ginia Holstein breeders, who are
to meet at the Chantilly Fire
house. will inspect the Smith dry
ing unit. In addition to visiting
the Smith farm. breeders will dis
Icuss better roughages and the
value of purebred cattle. Law
renee l.. Richter. national Hol-
Istein-Friesian fieldman, will at
tend the meeting.
The Smith dryer consists Of a
portable unit that heats the air
by oil. and a drying floor built
into an extension to the dairy
barn. Heated air is forced from
the drying unit through a. canvas
duct under slotted raised floor
IN the barn. Bales of hay. packed
five layers deep on the raised floor,
are dried as the warm air Is forced
through them.
Mr., Smith said he has never had
TO run the drier longer than "a
hours.
He figures the cost of drying
hay at about So per ton. This, he
explains, is low price to pay for
top-quality roughage.

Alfalfa Fields
Lookinq Good

A recent survey of several Vir-
ginia counties showed alfalfa
fields looking generally good, al
though leaf spot and black stem
were found in almost all fields.
S. B. Femme, plant pathologist
at VPI. with several men from
USDA and the Virginia Expert
ment Station made the survey. He
said that the first Identification
was made in Virginia of meadow
nematodes on soybeans. The
nematodes cause uneven growth
of the crop.
Bacterial wilt also was found
In few counties.
Counties visited were Roanoke,
Botetourt, Augusta, Henrico
Charles City, James City and

EntomoIogist Lists
Two Methods
To Fight Chiggers

Out-of door time often means
the time for chiggers or red bugs,
pests which can ruin any ones
holiday. Theodore Bissell, Uni
Iversity of Maryland entomologist,
suggests two ways of fighting
these insects-use repellent chem
Iicals on the clothing and treat
the vegetation with insecticides.
Two repellents to be used on
clothing, which are available from
druggists. are benzyl benzoate and
mixtures of dimethyl phthalate,
ndalone and Rutgers 612. The
best and simplest method for the
individual to treat his own cloth
ing Is to pour about dozen drops
|of the chemical into one hand, rub
the hands together, and then rub
lightly on the socks and other
clothing. The most liberal appli-
cations should be made along all
Openings of the clothing, such as
inside the neckband and the
Iwaistband.
Grounds infested with chiggers
may be sprayed with either toxa-
Iphene or chlordane. Use two
quarts Of emulsifiable concen-
Itrate of either of these insecti-
+cides in 20 or IS gallons of water
for each acre. This may be
sprayed on vegetation, soil or
ground litter. An emulsion spray
should control chiggers for several
weeks.
If you want to tell whether an
area has chiggers. stand a piece
of dark-colored cardboard on edge.
The tiny yellow or pink mites will
crawl up to the top edge in a few
minutes.
The irritation from chiggers
comes from the poison they Sc
crete on the skin after rasping it
with their teeth. They burrow
at the base of hairs. If
person. has been exposed to
chiggers, he should bathe as soon
as possible in hot soapy water. |
Alcohol or diluted ammonia ap-
piled to bites will give relief.

the stems, spread upon trays for
drying in the shade.
Plants must have leaves or they
will soon die. This principle may
be employed occasionally to de-
stroy an unwanted shrub or tree
that cannot be killed or removed
in other ways. A seeding wild
cherry came up in the middle of
an abelia bush. where it could not
be removed by pulling, digging or
poisoning. The top was removed
and all new shoots were pinched
of as soon as they showed. The
second season the cherry failed
to put out any new growth and
apparently died from lack of nor
NAL leaf functioning.
Peg the new strawberry runners
in place where the new plants are
to grow. In this way the hill sys-
tenn is easily followed and the
plants properly spaced. The
row is less productive and
more difficult to keep weeded than.
when the plants are kept at regu-
lar intervals of 10 to II inches.
Mulch to control weeds and grass.
This is the season for budding
roses and the Potomac Rose So
ciety is arranging for demonstra-
tions of this garden practice.
Now that the redberry harvest
has been completed the old fruit
ing canes should be removed.
Spray the new shoots to control
the various diseases common in
this area, mulch and fertilize.
Good growth between now and
winter is important to the size
and productiveness of the canes
that will produce next seasons

The Perennial Border
Borders Should Be Planted Nov
After Careful Planning and Plont Selection
By w. H. Younemon
Garden Editor

poison bait containing metalde-
hyde is the best cure for these
pests. but is a poison and should
not be put within the reach of
youngsters or pets. Place it under
|a heavy board or box. leaving q
crack for the Slugs and snails to
crawl under.
Turn Plant Boxes.
Turn the plant boxes once q
week to encourage well-rounded
growth. Few of the perennials or
biennials will need pinching such
as we give the ANIMALS. The en-
phasis should be upon rapid
strong growth and to this end
watering and keeping the soil
loosened between the plants is
all that is needed in a soil mix
ture such as mentioned above.
However, there will be times when
some plant food will be needed
and the easiest method of feed
ing is use one Of the soluble plant
foods. Dilute according to direc-
tions and apply after watering
the plant boxes. Wash the foliage
with water to remove any of the
fertilizer solution, this is to avoid
burning the leaves, also to carry
the fertilizer down to the feed
ing roots.
Most all of the perennials we
commonly grow in our gardens
may be raised by the home gar
dener Exceptions are those varie-
ties which do not come true from
seed-peonies, iris, phlox and
daylilies. The following are ex-f
of perennials and bien-
malls that may be readily grown
from seed: Arabs, alyssum, colum-
bine, iberis (candytuft), primrose,
coralbells. meadowrue, painted
daisy, gaillardia, platycodon (bal-I
loonf1ower), saliva (perenniaD i
scabiosa, shasta daisy, stokesia,
sweet william, grass pinks,
hollyhock and many others. The
list could include foxglove, Can
terbury bells, delphinium lupine
and other rather difficult sub
jects, but they are best left for
the expert.

Now that the oriental Topples

This is the critical period of the

Now is the time to place orders
for both the snowy Oriental pop
pies and for Madonna lilies for
August planting. The poppies
thrive in any well-drained soil in
full sun or light shade. The Ma
donna lily prefers to grow in full
sun, although good growth can be
obtained in bed receiving only
the morning sun. The Madonna
is a basal roofing lily, and needs
no more than 2 inches of soil over
the planted bulb. If the soil is in

The reason for this, said a re-
