The San Francisco Dons, who
remained undefeated through

as thoroughly stalled at the top
of the basketball rankings.
! After winning their 10th
straight game-and their 14th
this season-by the unusual score
of 1924, the DonS scored 1887
points in the Associated Press
poll Of sports writer's and broad
casters to tighten their hold on
the No. l ranking today. ~
San Francisco received 80 first
place votes out of 148 ballots
cast this week and "a for second
place: Fewer than a dozen unbe-
levers dared put the Dons lower
than fourth in the ratings. Points
were scored on the usual basis of
10 for each first place vote, nine
for second, ETC., and San Fran
cisco topped its nearest rivals on
this basis by nearly 500 points.
Dayton Holds Second
Dayton's Flyers, who suffered
their first defeat after winning

place despite a general reshuf-
fling of the rankings. But Day.

Tree Transplant
Needs Soaking,
Not SprinkIing

The tree transplant that lives
through the soaring heat Of
August and September is well on
its way to healthy adulthood
But like neglected children,
transplants may face critical
days unless their wants are
satisfied.
Struggling trees seem to re-
Spond best if well soaked at reg
ular intervals, rather than given
daily sprinkling. The limited root
systems of transplants require a
handy moisture supply. AS trees
become better established. their
roots can reach farther af1eld
for a needed drink.
Let the water seep slowly into
the ground over the entire root
area for an hour or more. Since
regular watering tends to leach
out some nutrients, a light feed
ing with fertilizer high in nitro
gen content will be helpful.
A mulch of peat moss, straw
or leaves also will tend to stop
the loss of moisture and reduce
soil temperatures. If the tree
trunk was not so prepared at
the time of planting wrapping
now with burlap or kraft paper
will be added protection against
drying winds.

Rush Reporting
1t is not too late to pinch back
tall growing house plants or to
repot them in fresh soil. How
ever, this job should not be
further delayed if the plants are
to be in good condition for
bringing indoors before the first
of October.

The roses should be kept pro-
teeted from insects and diseases
if they are to go into the winter
in good condition. 1t is the
disease weakened bushes that
succumb to cold weather. 1t is

make considerable root growth
in the fall. Late planted bulbs
always bloom late. Try a few
of the newer and better varieties
now available. If the cost seems
out of proportion to your desire.
buy only a single bulb = they
multiply rapidly and you will
soon have a nice showing.
Cuttings for Indoor Bloom
1t is not too late to take cut
tings of many of the house
plants for roofing and indoor
bloom this winter. The old
plants take too much space and
so it is always desirable to start
new plants rather than try to
find space for overgrown ones.
Root the cuttings in sharp sand,
perlite, vermiculite or other
materials.
Air Holes in the Sod
If the lawn has had more than
the usual amount of wear this
summer it may benefit from
aeration-the making of holes
every few inches which allow air,
moisture and plant food to get
down into the root area. There
are several devices available for
this purpose which remove
cores" from the turf. Some Of
the devices are hand operated,
others are pulled by small trac-
tors and there are those that are
power driven. A few firms rent
these machines.
After the lawn has been
aerated it is desirable to spread
humus and fertilizer before
dragging with a mat or some
other device which will pulverize
the cores and mix the soil with
the humus and fertilizer. Seed

trace of the element molyb-
denum.
Louis said his melon plants
came up fine. but turned yellow
and refused to grow. He thought
his summers work was gone,
when he happened to read q
piece in an agricultural journal
about molybdenum.
Louis sent for an ounce Of the
element, and used a level tea
spoon full to 10 gallons Of water.
Then he sprinkled a cup of this
solution about each melon plant.
In 48 hours, said Louis, the
melons began to turn green and
Ito grow again. And his crop was
saved.
Louis said he tried an expert
Iment. He left one row untreated
to see what would happen. Sure
enough, the vines in that row
remained yellow and refused to
grow. while their neighbors be-
came very pictures of healthy
plants.
Louis said agronomists from
New York came to look, and
plant specialists from VPI at
Blacksburg also came by to see
the effects of a trace of molyb-
denum.

Last weeks rains restored the

However, the cool nights and

leaves of some plants with a.

Roses, crepe myrtle, dahlias,

new material, Karathane, which

a Weed Control Necessary
Keep after the weeds which
are about to go to seed in the
garden. If allowed to mature
and deposit their seeds it will
mean additional work next year
pulling up the thousands of
seedlings that will come from
the one or few plants which we
neglected this summer. The
broadleaved weeds in the lawn
can be killed with 2,4-D If they
have not become too mature.
Crabgrass can be killed with a
new chemical, Solar, which is
sold under various trade names.
It seems to kill without as many
repetitions as the phenol mer-
curic acetate or the potassium
cyanate,
Improve Lawns Now
September is lawn improve
ment month. That means the
old lawns are fed. reseeded, and
given such other care as is nee
essary for them to recover from
the summers affects. A pound
of seed will help to thicken the
stand on a 1,000-square feet.
Use good seed of the desirable
species-kentcuky bluegrass and
red fescue. Chewings fescue
should be used in the shady
areas. Timothy, ryegrass, redtop
and similar species are not de-
sirable lawngrasses.
Now Is the time to feed the
lawn and help it regain vigor
and attractive appearance. Use
20 to 80 pounds of any of the
better commercial fertilizers per
1000 square feet Of area. Lime
may be applied at any time. but
once in three or four years is
usually adequate. When lime is
needed use the dolomitic ground
limestone and apply IS to go
pounds per 1000 square feet.
Evergreens Need a Start
Now that there is considerable
moisture in the soil we should
not delay planting the ever
greens. The conifers needs to go
in early If they are to become
well established before the
ground freezes. Normally WASH
