Hospital Income Shaving Increase

During the current fiscal year the Valley Presbyterian Hospital has paid S422.O0 on their cleo. tric bill, it was announced this week. This is an average Of s42 % month over a 10-month period. For a long period of time the hospital was unable to make any payments on their electric bills. However, 1t was pointed out, the payments which have been pos sibIe are indicative of more mon- ey being available al the hos pital.
 Various reasons were advanced for the income increase. One is that the average charge per pa tient unit is up from SIPS to 1856. an increase of 18 percent due to renegotiated contracts

some plant grower who will then
provide given number of plants
at the proper time.
Humidity by Evaporation
House plants suffer in the dry
air OF the average home. This can
be overcome to a considerable
extent by having shallow pans
or trays filled with gravel which
is kept moist. The evaporation
from around the gravel main
tains considerable humidity
about the plants whose pots sit
on top of the gravel or on an
inverted pot or cup. Raising the
pots is desirable since the soil
should not be allowed to become
waterlogged.
Amaryllis Bulbs
1t is not too late to buy and
bring amaryllis bulbs into bloom.
The potted bulbs should be-
watered and placed in a warm
place until the new shoots APP
pear. Then place them in a.
sunny situation and water free
ly. There are many attractive
colors in the newer varieties from
which to choose.
Dispose Of Bulb Stocks
Those bulbs that were not
planted before the ground froze
should be tucked into soil as
soon as possible. Perhaps there
are some pots and earth that
will hold them. otherwise it is
desirable to plant them in the
garden at the first opportunity
which may not be for some weeks
since the ground is frozen to a
depth Of 8 or 10 inches except
where there was a heavy mulch.
The ported bulbs, however, can
be set into the ground as soon
as 1t thaws.
Seed Hardy Annals
It is not too late to scatter
seed Of hardy ANIMALS on the
frozen ground. The seed does
not need covering.-W. H. Y.

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
Foxes Know How to Get Rid of FIeus
BY JAMES BIRcHFlELD

Bradford Lowe, the sage Of
Independent Hill, said 1t was
just the other way round. The
gray fox, he said. is related to
the cats. If you don't believe 1t,
he said. just go out and mingle
with foxes for a while and you
will see that a gray fox will
climb a tree. And, who ever
heard of a dog climbing a tree?
Before consulting Mr.. Pocock
in the encyclopedia. we consulted
Judge j. r. H. Alexander. who
once was master of the Loudoun
Hounds. The judge said it is
correct. all right. that a gray
fox will climb a tree. He said
lots of times you'll find a gray
taking a nap in a tree where
there are matted clumps Of vines.
The judge also said he had
heard that the gray and red
fox won't cross. but he doubts
this because he has seen foxes
that look too much like q COM
bination of the red and gray.
He had heard, too, that the gray
was from the cat family.
MIR. Pocock doesn't help much
on this question. He says that
the members of the European fox
family were named "Canis
vulpes." by Linnaeus. indicating
that they were members of the
dog family.
But later, he adds, biologists
assigned foxes to the genus
Volpes because the nasal pas
sageS do not open into hollow
spaces Of the frontal bones as
they do in CAMS and its allies.
In North America, Mr.. Pocock
says. the race OF foxes is
V.v.fulva. and there are three
main varieties-the red. the
cross and the silver. He doesn't
say a word about the gray, which
leaves US about where we began.
There is little likelihood. how
ever, that the gray foxes that
live in the woods over near the
river are any kin to my gray
tom cat out at the barn. At
least, ! shouldn't think so.

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

The ground seems to be very
dry under the frozen surface, so
| 1t would be wise to give the ever
green's a good soaking whenever
the frost permits. Otherwise
there is danger of loss of needles
and foliage. Rainfall in Novem-
Der and December totaled 1876
inches as compared with the
average Of 5.34 inches for these
two months. This deficiency, If
continued, can be serious, espe-
cially for the newly planted ever
greens.
House Plant Care
Those Christmas house plants
that have finished blooming
should either be discarded or
steps be taken to keep them
green and growing. Most Of them
like to be kept in a cool, sunny
situation.
II possible provide for humid
Iity about them. This may be done
by setting the pots on a layer Of
gravel or peatmoss which may be
kept wet. The evaporation will
help greatly to increase the hui
Nudity. Take the pots to the
kitchen once a week and set
them in q pan Of water until the
earthen ball is thoroughly mois-
tened. A Swinging with cold
water will help to remove the
dust and to control the sucking
insects.
Move Bulbs In Gradually
| Potted bulbs should be brought
lin each week and started into
growth. The first move should
be into q cool dark room. but as
soon as the new shoots appear
above ground. put in a sunny
situation, preferably where the
Temperatures are below so de-
grees r. Ample water is needed
during this growth period.
Pruning
It has been too cold to do much
lpruning but that is a job we can
work at whenever the weather
lis mild enough to permit work
|out-of doors. To prevent entry
of rot treat all of the pruning
cuts that are more than one
half inch in diameter with q tree
dressing.
/ Try the Newer Things
1t is seldom wise to expect To-
Ical plant growers to have plants
Iof the newest varieties. They
normally plant only those fol

Arrangement for Everyone" by
Dorothy Biddle and Dorothea
Bloom, "Corsage Craft" by Glad
Reusch and Mary Noble. or per-
haps a pictorial book such as
Flower Arrangement in Color"
by Rockwell and Grayson.
There are more specialized
fields which also have their share
of reference books whether 1t
be for the plant propagation. the
greenhouse gardener, the window
gardener. or the vegetable and
fruit grower. Now we have still
more specific fields such as soil
less culture. the Growing Of
Plants Under Artificial Light"
and similar fields.
Actually the home gardener
will in most cases be satisfied
with one general reference book.
perhaps q book on roses or one
on azaleas and depend upon one
or two of the horticultural mag
azines to keep him abreast Of
current developments. Such a
program will satisfy the major
ity who do not carry their hobby
to any more than normal in
terestS. We might say that they
are the Sunday golfers who shoot
in the high COS. For the lobbyist
who wishes to follow every de-
velopment. there are the bull
letins of the various national
and regional plant societies. as
well as numerous books devoted
to the history and developments
of a particular plant. The Ma
tional Horticultural Magazine,
issued by the American Horti-
cultural Society. brings to gar
Idening the same sort Of informa-
ton that the National Geograp-
hic Magazine does to the student
Iof natural history and geography.
Reference was made above to
the horticultural magazines.
There are three devoted strictly
to horticulture that are widely
known: Horticulture published
by the Massachusetts, Horticul-
tural Society. Popular Garden
ing. and The Flower Grower. In
addition to these specialized
magazines there are a number
of nationally circulated ones
which carry articles or sections
on gardening. These include
such well-known magazines as
Better Homes and Gardens,
House and Garden. House Beau
tiful. The American Home. Town
Journal, etc.
From the above you will see
that 1t is possible to have small
or a very large reference file
to support your gardening hobby.
One or more Of these should be
Ia must" If the hobby Is to
furnish all that it should. Ger
tainly it is not reasonable to
expect maximum results In the
garden unless the project can be
carried on with a certain
amount Of satisfaction. In most
cases that will require informa-
Ition.
