opinion about "hero-worshiped''
in this sentence?
Answer: The gradual con-
version of nouns into verbs is
an accepted fact Of life, lin
guiStically speaking. During the
past quarter of a century, for
instance, contact" as a verb
meaning to get in. touch with a
person, has become an accepted
part of the language despite
protests from purists who in
sisted that contact" was only
a noun, never a verb.
This process, when genuine
is a gradual one. But today ad-
vertising copy writer's and TV
script writer's seem to be takine
the lead in forcing nouns into
verb uses. This particular ex.
ample-making a noun phrase
hero worship" do verbs jot
is a particularly horrendou.
example of the trend. It's also
an uncommonly foolish one
since there are many perfectly
good words ("revere," lad.
mlre," or simply "worship")
available.

Christmas Trees

Christmas tree farming is
big business. But conserva-
tionists need not worry. The
happy greenery growers
range from individuals who
nurture a few trees on city
lots to commercial breeders
producing them in the los
of thousands annually. It's
a multi-million dollar indus
try. growing by leaps and
bounds every year. 1t calls
for much patience and
know-how. For instance,
trees 6 to 8 feet in height
require three years in nur-
sery beds plus six to 10 years
in the field. And the SUI
perior trees soon to be mar
keted are the result of pain
stalking selection and care.
Only seeds from parent
trees with desirable charac-
teriStics are planted, notably
in the f1r, spruce and pine
clans. On the bigger farms,
tree blocks are neatly moved
to prevent weeds and grass
from SIN o IN ering lower
branches. Consistent spray
ing controls damaging in
sects and adroit shearing
coaxes foliage of luxuriant
texture.

lightly sprinkled-perhaps it
is better to moisten the pack
ing materials. If the bulbs
seem moist to the touch the
containers should be opened
for a few days so that the
excess moisture can evap-
crate.
House PIGnts
The watering and care Of
house plants should receive
more attention at this sea-
son when it is rather difficult
to adjust the watering to the
needs of the plants. Plants
needing to take a rest should
not receive any more than a
minimum, while those in ac-
tive growth may need much
more water than seems nor
NAL because Of the dry at
mosphere so common to the
modern home. This may
mean watering every day or
two.
1t may be desirable to give
the house plants a good soak

move dust. and as one means

beautybrush, California priv
ct. shrub althea, etc. Most
Of these shrubs want a sunny
situation but will tolerate
some shade. A space 8 to 10
feet in width is needed at
maturity for all except the
shrub althea which can be
kept to 3 or 4 feet in width.
Planting windbreakS and
hedges requires closer spac-
ing than is commonly given
when planting for shade.
However, a dense row does
not seem to be any more
effective than the one which
has fewer plants. In fact, it
is difficult to evaluate this
point because crowded trees
or shrubs, lacking in food
and moisture do not grow as
vigorously. Thus, ottentlmes,
fewer plants in the row pro-
vide better windbreak.
Most windbreakS are al
lowed to keep their lower
branches and because some

ter with this type of growth.
they are more commonly
used for windbreaks. How
ever. deciduous trees and
shrubs can be trained the
same way.
The deciduous trees and
shrubs may be planted any
time the soil is workable. The
planting of evergreens should
be deferred until mid-March.
Roots Of deciduous plants
establish themselves during
the winter, which makes
early planting advisable.

Windbreaks
Both evergreen and deeiduous types
Available in toll or low srowths
BY w. n. YoUNGMAN
StoF Garden Editor

When the winds howl, as
they have recently, many a
home owners wishes for a row
of trees or shrubs to protect
him. Householders think in
terms of heat loss and how
much fuel it takes on windy
nights to keep homes COM
Portable. The plants in the
garden need this kind Of pro-
lection. too. OF course. it is
the drying action of winter
winds that depletes the vital
ity of woody shrubs, and saps
the moisture from the ever
greens.
There are a number of
trees and shrubs which may
be used for this purpose. The
choice must be first made on
the amount of ground which
can be devoted to the grow
ing of a windbreak. Pine trees
are excellent since they can
be trimmed to a fairly narrow
row, while spruce are as diff
cult and usually need 20 feet
or more. The Douglas fir is
another fine tall growing ever
green that needs is to 20
feet Of space.
The columnar forms of
arborvitae as well as a closely
trimmed hemlock can be used
where less height is needed
and where only a few feet of
space can be devoted to the
windbreak. The American
holly is another useful hedge
plant. because it can be
trimmed to any desirable
height-to 10 feet or more,
and will grow n sun or shade.
This latter is a serious limita-
ton since only the hemlock
and the yew are as accom-
modating.
There are a considerable
number of deciduous trees
suitable for the taller wind
break, many of them have a
slender volumnar habit of
growth. The Lombardy pop
lar which for many years was
most widely planted for this
purpose, is too short-lived to
justify its use. However, there
are columnar varieties of
other kinds of trees that can
well be planted for this pur-
pose-maples, elmS. etc. And,
if the gardener wishes, he
can plant others and keep
them within bounds by prun-
ing. The beech, Chinese elm,
ETC., are good examples of
this type. The beech is a slow
grower while the Chinese elm
is one OF the fastest. They
make excellent windbreaks of
20 feet or more in height.
although pruning at heights
over II feet is a major
problem.
For lower windbreaks there
are considerable number of
deciduous trees and shrubs to
choose from. The smaller
Towering crabs can be trained
to this form without a great
deal of effort. The taller
growing lilacs make excellent
hedges as do the DeutZia,

of controlling the tiny suck
ing insects that always seem
to infest them.
Seed Flats
It is not too early to get seed
fats and other equipment in
readiness for the starting Of
seeds indoors. Those who
want early plants know that
the first sowings are made In
February.
