The Wingless Moa
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

THERE WAS ONCE a bird in New
Zealand, named the moa. 1t was a
large bird, probably as large, or larger
than the ostrich. The skeletons show
that it once had wings, but it stayed
so close to its feeding grounds that it
finally lost its ability to fly.
A woman writer in New Zealand has
a poem describing the big bird, which
closes with the lines:
but their wings had vanished
They had lost the sIy.''
God has so arranged things that un-
used faculties weaken, even cease to
be.
It was this idea back in Isaiah's mind
which caused him to write the immortal
lines: ''They that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint Isaiah
4O:3D Isaiah saw people giving up faith
for fear, courage for cowardice,
strength for weakness. They were los
ing the minds wings!
Think of these lines as suggestive of
the entirety of our lives: Youth-middle
age.
Does youth need the inspiration that
comes from waiting on the Lord?''
Certainly. Even the strength of youth
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-05-01

can fail without God. ''They shah
mount up with wings as eagles If you
have seen the thousands of young men
to dedicate themselves to helping God
build the Kingdom of Heaven among
men, you have felt your heart quicken
little in its beat.
''They shall run and not be weary
This stands for the early-middle years,
when ambitions of all kinds urge people
to strive for the prizes of life. Once /
watched some young athletes running
a miller" as they called it. 1t was
beautiful to see their muscles as they
started out. For four minutes they
pumped their legs, then came the
stretch of 100 yards. After it was over,
they did not seem tired. That was a
picture of early middle life, when
fathers and mothers stand up against
all the arrows of fate, and keep on"
quietly recruiting their strength through
prayer and waiting in patience the will
of God.
But we can't fly like eagles, or run
like racers forever, for the time will
come when we will be content to walk
and not faint" The dear old Negro
minister said to his flock: ''Old age
gwine to ketch us all eff we live long
enough. One of the Bible writer's said:
81 was young, and am now old, and
have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread"
The soul does not need to lose its |
wings, nor forget the sky. The moa did,
and persisted.

For More Than Beauty

WINNING the Mrs. WASH

Now that many Of the ANIMALS
are started in seed fats. our at
tention may well turn to the
perennial border which needs
cleaning and renovating and per-
haps much reorganization.
There are at least two groups
Of perennials in q flower border.
One group requires q lot of
room and very little care. In this
group are peonies. Siberian iris.
Madonna lilies, and day lilies. AL
but the Madonnas add good foil
age to the bed all through the
season.
The other group is made up Of
plants which bloom for q short
period and when foliage may or
may not add appreciably to the
permanent look Of the perennial
border. In this group are ORR
entail peoples, columbine. coral
bells. phlox. painted daises.
baby'S breath, hardy asters, both
tall and dwarf, pansies, and
violaS, ageratum and a number Of
others which may add just the
right color note to your border.
Bulbs-Then Annuols
You may add many bulbs to
the border also, tulips and DAT
fodils especially. When they die
down the base spots may be
filled with the ANIMALS that will
be Just the right size to set out
snapdragons, petunias, annual
phlox, etc.
In planning the border, keep
in mind the necessity Of having
some plants In bloom at all times.
In April the bleeding heart and
Siberian iris will bloom when
the bulbs are at their best.
These will be followed by the
columbines which add o fairy
like touch to the garden. Coral
bell and anchusa will bloom at
the same time as peonies and
Oriental popies.
All these flowers somewhat
overlap so a continuous array
may be expected.
Some day lilies will be in bloom

Garden Pest Control Requires
Comnon-Sense Approach
By W. D. Mcclellan and Floyd F. Smith
Pashoosi and Enomoos Respectively at the Bssvs Station

Each year hundreds Of plant
specimens are sent to State and
Federal workers with requests for
information as to the natures Of
the injuries. More often than
not the injuries are not due to
attacks of diseaSe-producing or
organisms or insects but are
physiological.
Some factors responsible for
injuries are drought or excessive
soil moisture, too little or too
much fertilizer, too much or too
little sunlight. poor or excessive
soil drainage. excessive wind or
insufficient air circulation.
Many times injuries provide
entry for ease-producing Or
ganismS. Furthermore, physi-
illogical injuries may not be ap-
parent for several months. For
instance. a prolonged summer
drought results in plants enter
ing the winter period with in
sufficient moisture. Affected
woody plants such as lockwood,
arbor vitae. and rhododendron
or recently planted trees or
shrubs will gradually become
brown or portions of their leaves
will be burned.
A Case of Starvation
Often in planting a tree or
shrub a small hole Is dug in
heavy clay and filled with good
top soil. No provision is made
for drainage and during the
rainy season the hole soon be-
comes filled with water. Most
plants cannot grow when their
roots are covered with water and
the transplants soon turn yellow
and die. At first such plants
may appear to be starved. This
starvation is due, not to q lack
of nutrients in the soil, but to the
inability of the roots to function
properly because OF the excess
water.
Home gardeners are prone to
kill their plants with loving care.
All too often they severely injure
them with too much fertilizer.
A little common sense. to-
gether with an elementary
knowledge Of plant growth re-
quirements, goes q long way to-
ward answering many Of the
home gardeners problems. It is
often easy to determine whether
the injury is due to a fungus dis
ease, an insect. or excessive mois-
ture-"wet feet"

pert to determine the nature Of

more efficient. They have capac-
tiles Of ~ to gallons. The
hose sprayers are Of two types,
the cartridge type and the pro-
portioner type. The cartridge
type is limited to sprays avail
able in cartridge form whereas
the proportioner type Is more
versatile.
busters inexpensive
Busters are usually less ex-
pensive than sprayers and the
small plunger-type busters hav-
ing a fan-shaped, swivel action
distributor at the end of the
discharged tube are quite effec-
tive. These busters come in l.
pint, 1-quart and 2-quart sizes
and. because they are inexpen-
sive, gardeners often have two
or three for use with different
types of dust. Rotary or blower
type busters are considerably
more expensive but have greater
capacity and are less fatiguing
to use in large gardens.
Some preparations are in
tended for the control of only
one pest such as aphids or spider
mites, or one disease such as
blackspot or mildew. Other gen.
eral-purpose pesticides may con-
tain a mixture of chemicals in
tended to control several of the
common pests and diseases.
In recent years plant pest
control has become much more
efficient and easier because of
the development of new, highly
effective chemicals. However,
sthere is still no magic wand that
will abolish all diseases and
pests. Common sense, a little
knowledge. a good sprayer or
buster, the proper chemicals
and a little elbow grease are
still required.

Botanic Easter
Lily Show to
Open Saturday

The annual Easter lily show at
the Botanic Garden opens next
Saturday, 8 am. until noon and
from 8 am. to 4 pm. on Palm
Sunday. In addition to banks
of traditional lilies there will be
groupings of hyacinth varieties,
tulips. narcissus and cinerarias,
also some purple Japanese Omu-
saki azaleaS as long as they can
be held in bloom.
The Easter show will continue
through mid-April, open daily.
The Botanic Garden show cur
rently consists of azaleas and
amaryllis.
Outdoor blooms in various
Federal parks and gardens and
around private homes now in
clude bulbs. magnolias, for
sythias and small fruit colors.
The floral beauty Of the Tidal
Basin will become more and
more impressive during the week
as the cherry blossoms reach full
maturity.
Wednesday will see a daffodil
specimen display from 2 pm. to
10 pm. at the National Institutes
of Health in connection with the
institute sponsored by the Wash
ington and Maryland Daffodil
Societies.
Dumbarton Oaks will have a
riot of pink, white and yellow
bloom next week end and the
weeping willows will be beauti-
full during the next two weeks.
Hours are 9 to S on weekdays,
2 to 5 pm. on Sundays.

Three new veronicas are said
to be hardy here-Minuet. Pa

from late June to August. The
three mentioned above have pink
flowers. v. Icicle is q fine white

The phlox Sir John Falstaff
does especially well here where
phlox is hard to grow well.
One Of the newer day lilies Is
also recommended-Su-Lin, and
there is q very good dwarf aster
known as Canterbury carpet.
So now is the time to divide
and reset the old plants in your
garden and to add some Of the
newer ones. Be sure to work
carefully so as not to destroy
the late Corners. Enrich the soil
as you go and be sure to inquire
as to the ultimate height of the
things you plant so that each
flower may have its place in the
scheme of things.

the injury without considerable
study. However. it is necessary
to determine the cause before
remedies can be applied intelli-
gently. A fungus disease re-
quires an entirely different treat
ment from an insect or a physi-
illogical injury.
The problem Is to recognize
the injury soon enough for cor
receive measures to be effective.
A home gardener can easily OBJ
tain much valuable information
for himself through attendance
at garden club meetings and by
reading some Of the many good
references on home gardening.
The list of pesticides can be
extensive or simple depending on
the interest and enthusiasm of
the home gardener and the vari-
ETY. Of plants in his garden.
Simplicity Sought
Most gardeners prefer to keep
it as simple as possible by using
general purpose sprays and
dusts. Some good ones are now
on the market. In selecting
materials for dusts or sprays re-
member that copper compounds
may injure foliage in prolonged
wet periods and that sulfur
(more than so per cent in a
dust) may cause injury in hot
dry weather. Probably the best
guide is to follow directions on
the label Of the container.
There are good sprayers Of
several different types on the
market. The smallest are con-
tinuous-stream sprayers Of to
3 quart capacity. Those Of the
next size, compressed-air spray
ers. are more expensive but also

This Week in the Gorden
Lime Is Soil Corrector,
A Medicine, Not q Food

Many inquiries are received
in regard to the use of lime. 1t
is not the answer to all the
gardeners problems. 1t may be
useful as a disinfectant and as
a control for garden pests. 1t
may somewhat improve the tex
ture of soil providing better
aeration and drainage. But it is
not a fertilizer. Its principal
use is to correct soil acidity. If
a soil test proves that the soil
in your garden is more' than
slightly acid then the use Of lime
Is indicated until a point be-
tween pH6 and PIT is reached.
Most plants do well in slight
ly acid soil. Some plants, such
as azaleas' and rhododendrons.
will require a more acid soil.
Others. such as carrots and del
phiniums, will do better in one
that is less acid.

Sproyer Warning

If you have only one sprayeI
and must use it for all kinds Of
sprays including 2.4-D and other
weedkillers, great care must be
exercised to clean it thoroughly
after each using. It may be
rinsed with kerosene and then
with plenty of soap and warm
water.
Another way is to rinse it sew
eral times with warm water to
which baking soda or washing
soda has been added.
Or use 2 tablespoons of house.
hold ammonia to the tank and
let it stand overnight. The next
day empty and rinse and fill half
way with water and ammonia,
Empty the tank this way by
spraying the liquid out. Fill the
tank with soapy water and empty
it again.
This is a lot Of work so, OF
course, 1t is desirable to have two
sprayers. one used only for weed
killer preparations.

that they will soon return to
favor. They are so exquisite in
color and form that they should
be used to extend the iris sea-
son. II you have pool in your

pecially worthwhile. They like an

sufficient moisture.

A Question Of Placement

BY the time the weather is
settled they will be ready to be
set out-of-doors. The begonias
will do best in semi-shade. Sun
will suit geraniums better.
Either of these plants will add an
attractive color note If planted
in tubs for use on the patio.
Geraniums will especially add to
the brightness of the scene.

Aid for Doowood Bloom

If you have a dogwood that
has failed to bloom. dig a trench

lance will depend upon the size

Hurry With PRUNING

If you have not pruned the
small fruits on your place, better
hustle. In the case of grapes it
may be wise to dab the cut ends
Of the grapevines with shellac
to keep them from bleeding.
