Thinning Of Fruits

Thinning of fruit allows the
grower to take off the blemished,
worthless or crowded fruits early
in the season. It lightens the

The iris are the rainbow flow
ers of the garden. If you have
seen them in bloom in a garden
in the early morning when the
dew is still upon them and the
suns rays are touching them
gently you will think of a rain
bow seen through the last mist
of a summer shower.
No other flower, think, gives
us such a variety of size, color
and form. The ones best known
and most commonly planted are
the bearded iris. So, let's start
with them.
Now is the time to plant them.
You may be needing to dig them
and divide them. They do grow
out of their spot and need to be
divided every three to flve years.
General Instructions
Prepare q bed well for iris, for
while they seem to grow on top
Of the soil they send their roots
down quite a distance in order
to get food and moisture enough
to hold upright their great, fine.
sturdy bloom stalks. Add bone
meal and dried manure or well
decayed compost to the bed.
They like neutral or slightly acid
soil, excellent drainage and sun
for most of the day.
Place the rhizomes so that
their tops are about level with
the surface of the soil. BY put
ting them on q little mound OF
earth the roots may be spread
out in the surrounding hollows.
Press down the soil over the
roots and water well. Set the
rhizomes at least l foot apart.
Some of the new varieties are
magnificent but the prices are
necessarily high and perhaps
they are better for the iris speci-
alist than the new grower.
List Of Toll Bearded
The following list names only
a few of the many iris available
but they are all prize winners in
the tall bearded type:
BLUE.
Blue Rhythm-Large cornhower blue,
softened by silvery overtone.
Great Lakes-Clear blue, spreading
regal-type flower with good branching.
Helen McGreEOr-Pale blue. faring

after blooming so they won't
take the strength from the bulbs,
or cormS. as we should properly
call them.
When planting window boxes,
be sure to use enough foliage
plants to keep them attractive
even when the Towering plants
are temporarily out of bloom.
NUNS" have probably been
pinched back two or three times.
It is time now to let them grow
freely. Keep them fed and
watered for satisfactory fall
bloom.
Do not cut bluegrass lawns
shorter than one and a half
inches.
AS you walk about your gar
den do you plan now for the
changes you want to make in
the fall? When plants are in
bloom it is so much easier to
decide the changes that may be
made to increase the attractive
ness of the flower beds. Some
times plants that are too tall
are in the foreground. Some
times color combinations are
bad. It is a good idea to carry
a notebook with you to jot down
the changes you wish to make
because you know how busy you
will be in the fall.-A. S. Y.

Training Of Setter
Cause of Name;
Teeth Need Care
By Peter Boeqs

There is no question as to why
pointers gained their name. But
how often have you wondered
why their longer-coated COM
rades in the hunting field were
called settlers"
In ancient times, poachers
used to hunt for birds with a
wide-flung net. This. so that the
report of a gun should not draw
gamekeepers to the scene OF
slaughter. They trained their
dogs to point the game; then to
crouch down low Cor "Set") while
the net was tossed over the prey.
The setting" dog would be too
close to the ground for the net
to envelop him as it dropped
down over the crouching birds.
The setter - Irish, English,
Llewellyn, Gordon, etc. a
grand dog. One Of the very finest.
One Of the silliest theories
about dogs and about all manner
Of animals Is that, in wild and
natural state, their teeth remain
in perfect condition. They do
nothing Of the kind. For in
stance. tigers do not kill humans
until their teeth are too badly
decayed to get the right kind of
grip on lesser prey. Old wolves
teeth also become decayed. Wild
rats and other rodents often
break an upper or lower tooth.
Your dog has AZ teeth Gas
against your own 32). AS a rule
they stay in pretty good condi-
ton. But not always. Mango
and other diseases may cause a
few of them to fall out. Scum
or tartar is likely to form on
them at times. When a dog
reaches middle age he has q
tendency now and then Qike
middle-aged humans) to pyor-
rhea.
Take your dog to a good re-
liable vet to have his teeth
looked over and treated If they
seem to need treatment. Don't
try other so-called home treat
ment" on them than an occa-
sional very gentle rub with a
soft. cloth or with a bit of apple
rind. See your dentist twice a
year" is a rule which OCCASION
ally may apple to your dog as
well as to yourself. But let his
dentist be a vet.

Early morning is the best time
to water, although most OF us
find it more convenient to use
the hose at night. Experts say
that the moisture present in the

Farm Ponds Need
Control of Needs

A pond with clean, clear water
is an asset to any farm. But
q farm pond that is filled with
weeds and scum may only be an
eyesore and q disappointment:
swimming is unpleasant. stock
do not favor the water and
pipes and valves may become
clogged with plant material.
Copper sulfate is recommended
to control scum. Before apply
ing the material it is necessary
to calculate the amount of water
in the pond and then treat with
not more than one-half pound
of copper Sulfate for every mil
lion pounds of water in the pond.
Higher concentrations will kill
the fish. Dissolve in water and
spray. Repeated applications
may be necessary to bring the
algae under control.
For weeds rooted on the bot
tom but with leaves on or above
the surface, such as cattailS and
lilies, hand pull or control with
2,4-D mixed with water or kero-
sene. Concentrations Of five to
10 per cent are recommended.
For plants rooted to the bot
tom that grow entirely below
the surafce, use applications Of
sodium arsenite. three to four
pounds per million pounds of
water in the pond. Sodium ar
semitic is, of course, a deadly
poison and must be handled with
extreme caution at all times.
Where the pond is highly in
tested with weeds spray only one
section at a time. The decay Of
the weeds may cause a short
age of oxygen in the water re-
sulting in injury to the fish
population.

Other Iris Types
It would not be possible to
name or describe all the kinds
or types of iris available, but you
may be interested in learning
more about the Dutch iris which
are so satisfactory for cutting.
Florists use them in so many
mixed flower bouquets. They
come in light blue. dark blue,
yellow and white. They may be
ordered now for fall delivery.
The Japanese iris bloom later
than the bearded and will do
well in a moist situation and
some shade.
The Siberian iris in blue or
white are lower growing. The
flowers are smaller and the
foliage finer. They. too, are ex-
cellent for cutting.
Iris reticulata Is a dwarf form
which blooms in the very early
spring. It is suitable for rock
gardens.
The bearded iris also comes in
a dwarf form, a medium or in
ter-medium form and in fall
boomers. There are still other
forms not so commonly grown.
There is surely iris for any place
or any taste.
