Dried Flowers,
Leaves, Grass

Don't you long to make the
beauty of your garden last?
Some of it may be saved by
the simple method Of drying.
Some Of the grasses can be
set heads up in a dry container.
They will dry in graceful
shapes.
The several flowers known as
everlastings and a number of
grasses may be dried slowly in
a dry shaded spot such as an
attic or furnace room. These
may be tied in punches and
hung heads down.
Thick, woody stem materials
such as beech leaves and mag
nolia leaves dry well in gly-
cerin and water-1 part gly-
cerin and 2 parts water. Crush
the stems for a couple Of inches
at the ends to help them take
UP the mixture.
There are other methods for
other flowers. Sometimes bor-
ak is used, and sand and corn
meal and mixtures of them.
The real secret of success is
to catch the flowers at their
peak. Be sure they have no
water spots on leaves, stems or
petals. And do not put them in
water while waiting for time to
dry them.

New Handbook
About MuIchinu

The use of various types OF
mulching material is thoroughly
discussed in a bulletin recently
published by the Brooklyn
Botanic Garden Handbook on
Mulches." The chapter on the
use Of Sawdust is especially in
teresting because gardeners
disagree as to its merits.
The advantages of mulching
are carefully explained. 1t
eliminates deep cultivation
which may easily destroy shall
low roots. Mulches save work
and are savers of water which
is getting to be such a valuable
asset. A good mulch. says a
leading horticulturist, will re-
duce by at least one half the
amount of water lost from the
soil by evaporation. On a
slope run-off of heavy rains is
prevented and moreover rain
soaks into a mulched soil much
more readily.
Freeman S. Hewlett of the
Ohio State Experiment Station
further states that this mod
ern and Efficient method of
mulching controls weeds. i'm
proves the physical condition
Of the soil and in addition it
supplies certain minerals and
trace elements.

Blossom End Rot
Hurts Tomatoes

Blossom end rot. . tomato
malay caused by excessive
drought. has been more than
usually noticed this year. ac-
cording to officials Of the USDA
at Beltsville. Too long and too
serious a dry spell win produce
the dark coloration and the
tomato is of course inedible
once the blight has set in.
1t is q physiological malady.
The symptoms may be light
colored. sunken. water-soaked
spots near the blossom end Of
fruits. Spots enlarge: one
third of the fruit may become
dark-sometimes very dark
and shriveled. Fungi may grow
over the spots.
Avoid excessive use Of nitro
genous fertilizer should trouble
be noticed. Avoid overwhelming
or drying out Of the soil. 1t
should be the goal of the gar
dener to maintain an even soil
moisture content at all times.

Don't Put Up
Chiqqers

You don't need to put up
with chiggers in your lawn or
picnic grounds according to
the Extension Service, Univer-
sity of Maryland. Spray the
infected area with lindane,
chlordane or toxaphene. Use
these in a water preparation or
as dust. These measures last
for from one to eight weeks

ing. Keep children and pets
of the area until the spray
dries.
Rub or spray repellantS on
cuffs, stockings or sleeves If
you must 60 into areas where
chiggers abound. Caution-do
not spray rayon material and
be sure to protect your pens
and eyeglasses.

in sawdust mulched gardens.
Heavy soils become lighter and
easier to work when the saw
dust has decomposed and the
earth can better receive the
rainfall.
Sawdust does not make the
soil acid. contrary to the belief
Of many gardeners. The resin
in the sawdust is not injurious
to plants. 1t is present in a
very small quantity and more
over is not readily dissolved in
water.
1t is true that sawduSt may
cause nitrogen deficiency. This
occurs because the bacteria
which decomposeS the organic
matter in sawdust ties up the
soil nitrogen so that it is not
available to the plants.
If the leaves become light
green or yellow apply nitrate

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
Cow Egrets Would Be Welcome
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD

I've got the solution to the
horsefiy problem-cow egrets.
Carolyn F. Armstrong Of
Arlington, who has been vaca-
tioning at Cape May, wrote me
about the birds. She said she
has watched them sitting on the
back of cattle and picking OF
the flies.
And that's not all. When
the cows lie down, she wrote,
the birds walk about them, TAX
ing the flies from their sides
and from their faces. And
what's more. the cattle don't
mind. They like the birds
about.
OF course. this poses another
problem. How are we going to
get the COW egrets from Cape
May to The 40 Acres?
I am sure If they once found
our place In Loudoun County.
they would be content there.
We have a pond and, am sure,
enough flies to keep several
egrets in the pink Of condition.
II our flies ran out, we could
send our birds next door to
Tweed Howser. who has more
cows-and flies-than we have.
Miss Armstrong writes that
the egrets come to Cape May
early in the spring and stay
until October, then they go
back in Florida for the winter.
That pattern would flt in fine
with us.
Writing in the National Geo.
graphic Magazine in August,
1854. Roger Tory Peterson told
Of the cattle egret, the first
bird in history to settle in the

Put in soil mixture up to the

In about six weeks roots will be
formed. These rooted cuttings
may be kept in a cold frame.
They should be mulched with
