How To Save
Food Dollars

Plan now to spend that food
money, says Miss Marjorie j. Wor-
meek, nutrition specialist at the
University of Delaware. The av-
erage family spends 25 percent of
its income on food she says, so
saving few cents on an item adds
up over a period of time.
Look for "real" bargains, Miss
Wormeck suggests. Mark-ups
vary on food within a store. Some
items are sold at cost or less to
bring customers into the store.
Common foods used for this pur-
pose are canned peaches, appie-
sauce, tomato juice. frozen orange
Juice, shortening, smoked hams,
baby food, sugar, evaporated milk
and tomato soup. Keep your eye
open for these customer pulling
bargains.
Planning your meals around in
season foods hold costs down as
does stocking up with specials"
in frozen foods.
The less popular cuts of meat
are penny savers too. Short ribs,
shank end of ham, shoulder cuts,
beef chuck and the like are cheap
er than the popular cuts such as
steaks and chops.
Fruit and vegetables which are
going to be used in pies or can
ned need not be top quality in
appearance, buy according to the
need. Apples that are going, into
a pie do not need to De pretty.
Compare price per pound and
prices among fresh, frozen and
canned foods. Some times canned
foods are cheaper than frozen and
sometimes the reverse is true.
Be careful about waste Miss
WOrmeck says, five cents a meal

GUARD REJECTS
.DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
OF EISENHOWER

Mrs. John S. Eisenhower
almost couldn't get into the
Armory yesterday to open
the Flower Show.
The trouble started when
the Presidents daughter
in-law arrived in a Mer-
curry. A waiting policeman,
alerted for a White House
limousine, didn't recognize
her.
Inside. Mrs. Eisenhower
applied for admission at
the center door where the
crowds were waiting. The
guard, whose chief job was
keeping people out until
after the opening, would
MT let her in.
The guest of honor next
tried a side door used by
show officials. Here she en-
countered Boris v. Tim.
chenko, the show archi-
tect, who recognized her
and escorted her onto the
floor.

Tree, Shrub
Entitled to
Fertile Soil

Successful shrub and tree
planting requires the observ-
ance of a number of impor-
tant points.
Holes for any shrub or tree
can well be 6 to IL inches
wider and deeper than the
spread Of roots.
If there is doubt about the
richness of the soil, the part
removed may be replaced by
better soil. More often it is
improved by adding a fourth
by volume or bulk of decayed
manure. decayed sawdust or
moist peat moss. Use no chem
ical fertilizer in this soil for
barefoot plants but bone
meal or dried animal manure
may be used, a quart to a
bushel Of soil. Coarse manure.
undecayed leaves, straw, are
undesirable in the fill soil.
Plants should be set exactly
as deep as they were before
they were dug.
Plants in cans should be re-
moved from the cans, best after
the can has been cut at least
once. top to bottom.
Plants with burlap covering
are to be set in the hole with
burlap intact. Do not handle
such plants by their tops, but
lift the ball of soil with hands
beneath it.
Before filling in soil around
balled plants. the burlap should
be unfastened at the top and
the loose portions cut away.
If the ball is solid and not
crumbling, the rest Of the bur-
lap can be pushed to the bot
tom of the hole. If the soil
is likely to crumble, keep the
burlap in place.
Press moist but not water
soaked soil among roots Of
barefoot plants. Air pockets
can be very harmful. Firm
packing of soil around balled
plants is equally important.

Foundation Paintings
For South Exposures

Berberis Julianae Julian bar
berry, is a strong growing,
thorny shrub while the variety
Mentor. is more upright in
growth and not as tall. How
ever, they can be trimmed to
keep them within bounds. The
attractive Warty barberry (B
verruculoSa) is not as tall
growing seldom over 2 it, and
because of its slow growth is
very long lasting.
Accent Plants
OF the above listed shrubs the
following may be considered for
accent plants: Spiny Greek
juniper q. excelsa), the dwarf
form is preferred; Dwarf
Hinoki false cypress &C.
obtusa); Japanese holly Ulex
crenata); Julianae barberry
(Berberis julianae); Upright
Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata
capitata), and perhaps the
Amur privet (Ligustrum anu
rense) although it is rather
tall-growing for such situations.
The Ibota privet (Ligustrum
obtusifolium) and its variety,
Regels privet, which is lower
growing, having the toughnesS
to. do the job but are lacking in
landscape value.
The Spiny Greek juniper may
be, and frequently is. troubled
by the Juniper webworm, which
makes it somewhat of a gamble.
Perhaps someday we will have
a systemic poison which will
protect this evergreen from its
enemies.
OF the intermediate-sized
shrubs, the dwarf form of
Pfitzers' juniper is probably the
most desirable. The English
lockwood, the convex-leaf jap
anese holly, the warty barberry,
are all attractive and should he
considered. M
Dwarf Varieties
The low-growing evergreenS
include the PROSTATE jumpers.
OF the several named varieties,
local nurserymen consider Sar-
gent juniper the least troubled
by insects. There are several
dwarf varieties of the Japanese
holly that might be considered
for such purposes although
they are so slow growing that
by the time they reach mer-
charitable size have accumu-
lated substantial production
costs. Helleri, KingSville, etc..
are the most commonly grown.
There are no herbaceous
ground covers suited to q
southern exposure. The crepe
myrtle (Vinca minor is most
likely to succeed but it must be
planted in a peaty soil, which
will hold an ample supply of
moisture. Such soils are not
particularly suitable to the
jumpers which are more likely
to thrive in a less acid soil.
AS noted above. many ever
greens, both broad-leaved and
