Well, Live And Learn
On a trip to New Orleans
about fifteen years ago we
were privileged to see copy
of the first minutes, in the
original, of the USBA, which
was founded by Dalmatian
fishermen.
Then in 1880 the New York
Croatians founded the First
Croatian Benefit Society!
There are still a large num-
Der of these independent
lodges, or fraternal societies,
in existence today. California
had more than a dozen a dec
ade ago and New York City,
too, had a number. In Cleve-
land we have the Dalmatian
Society and Pittsburgh's
"Bratska Sloga" is another
example of a flourishing in
dependent society.
This will not sett', the ar
gument as to Benwood and
Pittsburgh's claim on the 1st
Lodge question, but it will
prove that there were others
who preceded us in the fra
ternal field.

Pittsburgh, Pa. - The 9th

America will open Monday,
September 19, 1855, in Phila-

All of the Convention ses-

Avoid Tree Injury
Through CureIessness

Here are some be-kind-to-trees
suggestions:
Try not to bang, ram, hack
and bruise trees with your car
A tree that stands near a
driveway is often q victim Of
dripping crankcase oil.
Don't wrap wire and rope sup
ports for hammocks, swings and
clotheslines dire city around
trunks and branches instead OF
attaching, to harmless hooks Sc
cured in the wood.
Don't bruise the bark by run
ming a lawnmower too close to
the trunk.
Don't spray too close to trees
with weed killer or other chem
icals detrimental to tree health.
Don't burn trash or grill food
near a tree so that leaves and
branches are Scorched.

roots are greedy and far-reach-

these undesirable habits seems
to be the Moraine sThornless
Honey Locust. This variety of
locust seems to be fairly i'm
mune to the locust borer that
spoils the native black locust;
also, it is deeply-rooted and
quite drought resistant tree. 1t

Huge Plant Fruit
Takes IS Months
After FIowerinq

Sometimes house plants grown
only for their foliage surprise
the owner with a'splendid show
ing of flowers. This year seems
to have been unusually favor
able for such, as evidenced by
the flowers on a Monstera deli
ciosa (also called Swiss cheese
plant, Mexican salad plant and
Ceriman) in the greenhouse OF
Howard Quaintance OF Silver
Spring, Md.
This large-foliaged plant is
frequently encountered in boz
tanical gardens and in large
hotel Hobbies where its 2-foot
leaves are in scale with the sur
roundings.
In the deep South and in trop-
ical countries the fruit, which
has a flavor like a combination
of pineapple and banana. is
considered a delicacy. It is hard
ly worth while to cultivate them
in the greenhouse for their
fruits, since it takes is months
for the fruit to develop after
f1owering.-W. H. Y. :

Olive Oil Con Help
Dog Suffering Dry
Irrituted Skin
BY Peter Boags

Although in the summer dogs
often suffer from q dry, itching
skin, investigation might not
reveal any evidence of irritation
or swelling. Such q condition is
not serious. It can be quickly
cured by rubbing little olive oil
well into the skin every day or
so. Another tip: Put a few
tablespoonfuls OF common bak-
ing soda in the water when you
wash the dog.

When removing ticks. put a
drop Of iodine on the spot. Often
the head Of the tick remains and
may cause infection.
To make q dogs coat shine,

thickness by regular pruning.
However, its roots are shallow
growing and makes the growing
of other plants and shrubs near
by somewhat Of a problem. The
thick twiggy growth is attrac-
tive and the beech is relatively
free from insects and diseases:
It is very slow-growing.
Lombard Poplor and Others
The Lombard poplar. formerly
widely planted for these pur-
poses, rarely survives diseases
that either kill at planting or
as a tree reaches mature size.
There are other trees of column
mar habit that would be suitable
for these purposes but are not
readily obtainable.
The highbush cranberry, IL
laos, Rose Of Sharon, and many
other common shrubs may be
used for this purpose but viii re-
quire more or less pruning each
season to keep them within
bounds. Most of them only grow
to 8 or 10 feet In height. and
may be kept to a thickness Of 8
feet or less, except the lilac,
which spreads by underground
roots. They have the added at
traction of flowers and fruits.
With the exception Of the lilac,
they should be severely topped
at planting time to force branch
ing close to the ground, so that
they make an attractive screen.
One or two prunings a season
usually are enough to keep them
within bounds.
The California privet is widely
planted and is an effective mar
row screen. To keep it attrac-
tive and within bounds requires
several clippings each season. If
allowed to go untrimmed it
will attain a width Of s or 3
feet. Pruning removes the flower
ing wood-the flowers have an
offensive odor to some. The
privet does not do well in shade.

Cattle FEEDING

Keeping beef cattle from los

Winter feeding should begin
when the grass Is dried-up or
short IN the fall of the year.
Feed lightly at first and in

Always feed the poorest hay
first, while cattle still retain the
summer-stored supplies of vita
minis and minerals. Feed the best
hay when the calves arrive and

Gardening work is likely to get
into high gear within week or
two and so it is time to clean UP
the odds and ends. One of the
first jobs should be to pull those
! tall-growing weeds before they
go to seed. A single weedy plant
will produce enough seed to keep
the gardener well occupied for
several years -. Tie up those
long-climbing rose canes wav-
ing in the breezes. You can cut
out a few Of the oldest canes at
the same time Git should have
been done in late June) which
will improve the appearance of
the garden It is a bit late
to sow seed of perennials and
biennials unless you have a cold
frame to carry them over winter.
But If only few, plants are
needed it is worth taking the
chance.
There Is still time to buy and
plant Madonna lily bulbs and to
get roots Of the Oriental peoples
for planting, but do not delay
much longer If you want them to
do well.
Be sure to clip the seed heads
Of the perennial phlox. They
seed freely, and most of the
seedlings are not worth having.
Foil Rains Are Foetor
When ordering shrubs for fall
delivery be sure and request de-
livery at a time when the soil
is moist-not in the midst of a
dry spell. The soil is moist
enough now to permit planting,
but we should not expect to get
delivery of the evergreens, es-
pecially the broadleaved ones,
until around the middle Of Sep
TENDER, or about the time the
fall rains begin.
It Is not too early to divide
and reset the daylilies (Herero-
callis). because they should have
time to become well established
before cold weather. No need to
divide unless the clumps are
getting too large and crowding
other plants. or. unless you want
plants Of the same variety else
where in the garden or to give to
friends.
Don't slacken up on spraying
the roses. Protect them from
blackspot. Blackspot weakens the
plants so that unless controlled
they will not survive the winter.
It's not the cold-it's the weak
ness Of the bush.
September is peony and daffo-
dill planting time. Place orders
now for delivery so that these
two will be on hand and ready
for planting at the proper time.
The same may be said for grass
seed, which is another Of the
things that needs to be gotten
into the ground at the right
season, If the best results are to
be obtained.

Too Much Gross Seed?

DR.. Kuhn, University Of Mary
land. says that the tendency is to
use far too much grass seed. We
do not need more grass plants in
many cases. but do need to feed
and care for those that are
present so that they will make q
good cover. One good healthy
grass plant is far more effective
than a dozen weak, underfed
plants. This suggests feeding the
lawn in early September to help
the permanent grasses into good
growth for the fall and winter
seasons. Also. that one pound Of
good grass seed per 1000 square
feet for reseeding and two to
three pounds for the new lawn
Is in line with his thinking.
