THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

Reports indicate that Fusarium
wilt is beginning to appear on
tomatoes in local gardens. This
is a destructive disease, causing
the plants to wilt and die. 1t
is most prevalent when the
weather is hot and moist, but
will attack the plants at all
stages of growth. However, there
are many things which cause
the leaves to curl and droop be-
sides this disease. The only way
to be certain is to split the stem
to see if the woody tissue is dis
colored. that is, the area between
the pith and the outer green
portion of the stem.
Spraying with bordeaux will
sometimes prevent the spread
of this disease. However, the
best practice is to grow disease
resistant varieties such as the
Marglobe, Pritchard and Rutgers.
This is important since the
disease, once prevalent, will live
for several years in the soil. The
bordeaux mixture is important
IN controlling the foliage diseases.
Feeding GIadiOlus
Now that the gladious is be-
ginning to send up its flower
spikes we should give it an addi-
tional feeding and also make
certain that it has plenty of
moisture. Dryness at this stage
OF development is likely to cause
crooked stems. The extra feed
ing is desirable if large fiorets
and tall spikes are wanted.
For Bushy Chrysanthemums
1t is not too late to give the
chrysanthemums a final pinch
ing to produce bushy plants that
will make a pleasing showing in
the border this fall. Feeding,
mulching, and watering are i'm
portant, too. if the plants are to
be kept in active growth during
the heat of the summer. Because
they are shallow rooted, a mulch
is more useful than frequent cul-
tivation. If nematodes begin to
attack the plants, a spraying
with DOT will keep them under
control. The nematodes produce

STAMPS TELL
A STORY

Back in 1852 New Zealand
issued a Spence Western Sa-
moa stamp showing a water
fall.
Aleisa Falls, the legend read.
Residents of Samoa and COL
lectors who had visited the
island quickly pointed out that
something was wrong. They
didn't agree on what the stamp
pictured, but they were sure
it wasn't Aleisa.
Since then the puzzle has
provided material for a num-
Der ofsarticles in the philatelic
press. But now the guessing
is over.
Following exhaustive in
quiries," the New Zealand Post
Office reports. "the Samoan
government now advises that
the scene depicted on the
stamp is actually one of the
MALTA Falls, not Aleisa Falls"
There was no comment on
whether the erroneous legend
would be corrected.

Sowing Border Plants
Sow the seeds of perennials
and biennials now if you would
have husky plants for trans
planting to the border this fall.
BY sowing the seed now it is
practicable to have plants large
enough to make a good showing
next season. Start the seeds in
pots or beds that can be pro-
tected from the hot sun. Some
Of the seeds will not sprout in
hot soils, so shading is desirable.
Also, it is necessary to protect
the beds from beating rains
which crust the soil.
Weed-PrOOf Seedlings
If the plant grower would
avoid disease problems with
seedlings, it is an easy matter
to cover the plant bed or seed
fiat with a thin layer of pull
verified sphagnum moss. Sow the
seeds in the moss and If they
are large, cover with a thin layer
Of the moss. The moss also saves
the labor of wedding that is
usually common in fats filled
only with soil.
Time for Cuttings
Now is the time to take cut
tings of azaleas and camellias.
Take cuttings only of the new
growth and after it has begun
to stiffen. If rubbery, the cut
ting should be deferred a few
days. Place the cuttings in a
propagating bed or in flower
pots filed with a half-and-half
mixture of peatmoss and sharp
sand. Cover with glass or some
that will keep the
atmosphere moist but will not
exclude light. Place the cuttings
in lightly shaded situation and
keep moist but not wet until
rooted. 1t takes from s to 8
weeks for the cuttings to develop
a good root system.

Home Processing Gives
Comeromon ADVANTAGE

Often we will find a mega
tive that has too much waste
area around the subject or it
may be that some object that
we overlooked when making
the snapshot spoilS the orig
lnal composition. BY masking
or by projection we can usually
compensate for one or elm
mate the other. Many a pic
ture can be saved from the
discard by printing procedures.
Salvage by Enlarging
There's another advantage
in having your own print max
ing shop at home. Often you
will have one picture in which
there are several possibilities
for equally as good or better
photographs. Let's take a COM
mon example. You might have
made a COUP picture of your
family.
This group shot may or may
not be good on the whole. If
it was spoiled by the move
ment of one of the individuals
you can still have a picture of
the others by enlarging the
image and making a print
containing those in the group
whose expressions are espe-
cially good. Or even though the
entire group pleases you you
can still make individual por-
traits by the same method.
The enlarger can be used to
provide you with pictures for
framing or exhibition at a
very low cost. 1t can also be
used to make photo murals
that many are using in the
home for decorative purposes.
Contact Prints are Easy
The simplest way to make
your own prints is by the con-
tact, method. This is usually
done with an inexpensive
piece of equipment known as
a contact printer. 1t can also
be done with a printing frame,
purchased at a negligible cost.

The Roman Republic

Italy was, in Rome'S early
days as now, poor in mineral
resources except copper. Apart
from insignificant oblong cop
per plates the first real COIN
age started a little before 800
BIC.
1t consisted of heavy cast
copper pieces bearing the
characteristic head of Janus,
God of the Past and Future,
looking both ways out of his
double head. The pounds"
actually weighed one pound of
metal. The coin and its frac-
tional parts served the simple
needs of the dour, disciplined
LatinS, who were stout peas
ants one day and valiant
soldiers the next.
But when the Roman state
on its way to Destiny got ac-
quainted with the South Ital-
ian Greeks it started to strike

later a small measure of gold,
which would be acceptable for
foreign trade. These were
nicely modelled pieces, reflect
ing the style of the Greek
artisans, and are called Ro-
mano-Campanian coins.
The stress of the first Punic
War (264-241 B.C.) called for
great quantities of money and
saw the birth Of the most rep
reSentative of Roman coins,

the equivalent of 10 copper
coins.

By A. ]. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

The people who get the most
fun out of photography are
the ones who make their own
prints. The commercial pro-
cessor makes no effort to get
the best from a negative
because he is limited to
making a full-out print. But
the home essor can
squeeze the very best from
each Of his snapshots by
making needed changes during
the print-making stage.
Years ago. it required con-
siderable skill to develop mega
tives in trays or tanks because
of the flimsy film used by the
majority of amateurs. How
ever, in these enlightened times
we have at our disposal pre-
pared packages of pre-mixed
developing and fixing chem
icals and specially designed
tanks that make film develop
ing a snap.
1t is not our purpose today
to go into the subject of film
processing but rather to point
out how easy it is to make
prints and why it's advantage
Gus to do so.
Saves Time and Money
For one thing we can save
a lot of time and money too
by making our own prints. 1t
takes several days from the
time a roll of film is left at
the drugstore or camera shop
before we get a chance to see
how our pictures turned out.
But if we do the work at home.
we can have the prints ready
for mounting in a short time.
BY buying printing paper in
bulk lots we can also save a
considerable sum each year,
especially if we go in for en-
largements. as most people do
these days. For nickel or a
dime we make an enlargement
that would probably cost at
least a dollar, if prepared at a
commercial shop.
But most important of all is
the fact that when we make
our own prints we can make
them exactly as we wish them
to be made. often improving
over the original composition
of the negative.
In print making the opera
tor can often compensate for
errors Of exposure and devel-
opment by using grades Of
paper especially designed for
this purpose. For instance, If
you find that your negative is
contrasty, there is a paper
available which will help COR
rect this condition. A fiat neg
alive has its special paper too.
