Firethorns for Fall Color

are grown the tlfethorn may
be troubled with scab which
causes the fruits to blacken.
The firethorn also is subject
to fireblight, a disease which
causes the new growth to
turn black and shrivel. If
the latter disease should
appear it can now be con-
trolled by spraying with the
antibiotic Terramycin. For
merly we pruned out all in
fected wood. The apple scab
may be controlled with any
good fungicide. In areas
where it is troublesome rose
growers spray or dust their
f1rethorns with the same ma
terial they use to control
black-spot on roses.
The firethorns are deep
rooted, hence seldom trou-
bled by drought. They are
such strong growers that few
bother to fertilize them. How
ever, If for some reason they
are making strong vegetative
growth they may need super
phosphate to stimulate fruit
ing.
Pruning to keep the bushes
within bounds often provides
the stimulus to start fruiting.
However, the fruits are borne
on last years twigs and care
should be used so as not to
remove all of the fruiting
wood.
Needs No Protection
The firethorn, which is
practically evergreen here,
does not need winter protec-
ton, although in the more
exposed situations and in bad
winters they may lose much
of their foliage. Their fruits
are usually gone by the time
severe freezes are to be ex-
pected as the birds usually
harvest them in early win
ter.
The firethorns are large
bushes growing 8 to 10 feet
in height but they may be
kept to 6 feet with pruning.
They make a satisfactory
hedge to 4 or 5 feet in height.

Corn, DohIio StoIks

Now that the corn season is
past we should take steps to
destroy the stalks which are
the winter home of the corn
stalk borer. Either bury them
in the soil; cut them into
small pieces and place in the
compost pile, or burn. The
borer that attacks the corn is
the same pest that tunnels in
dahlia stalks; so when the
dahlias have been killed by
frost and the stalks cut from
the tubers they should re-
ceive the same treatment as
the corn stalks.

be clipped to form a strong
hedge; they are most attrac-
tive when espaliered to

judicious pruning they make

the primary objective of their

Easy Now to Plant
The f1rethorns, and there
are several, but only a few

ington area. are mostly forms
of pyracantha coccinea var.

is a literal translation Of the
botanical name: pyra, fire;
cantha, thorn.
This attractive shrub for
merly was available only as
a balled and burlapped plant
and as such should only be
planted in the spring. But
because gardeners could not
get interested in them until
they were loaded with ber-
ries, the enterprising nur-
serymen now supply them in
metal containers which are
reasonably safe to handle at
any time of the year. How
ever, care should be taken
when removing them from
the can not to disturb and
definitely not to break, the
ball of earth. To do so is to
severely shock the plant if
not to kill it.
Control of Diseases
Some gardeners, rather
than run this risk, simply
plant the can, hoping that
rust will soon release the
roots. Another way is to re-
move the bottom of the can
and let the roots grow out
below. However, wish a good
can opener the sides Of most
of the metal containers can
be cut open and the entire
can slipped off of the core

Tree Care

New homeowners often find
existing trees begin to die
back a year or so after they
move in.
The reason: The trees have
been injured by excessive fill,
soil compaction by bulldozers
during construction, severing
of roots during laying of
utility mains.
1t may be four or five years
before it can be determined
whether the trees will pull

Gulf of Alaska Obstruction Drowned, Reports U. $. Coast GeOdetic Surve0

WASHINGTON, LR - The mys- tery of a missing shoal in the Gulf of Alaska seems to have been solved by the Coast and Geo. detic Survey. The agency be- lieves the shoal drowned.
 Discovered 30 miles off the northern shore of the Gulf in 1779 by a Spanish explorer, it disappeared rom sight more than 100 years ago.
 Recently, an oceantographer for the Survey found a submarine ridge; 400 feet under water, that answered to the description of the old bedrock structure. He re- ported that the searidge appar- ently foundered - that is, it's base broke down.
 The shoal, to the northeast of the Aleutian Trench, is the sec ond recent scientific discovery in that region. In September, 1857, the survey reported a huge crack in the floor of the Gulf in that region which could be responsible for underwater earthquakes.
 George F. Jordan, who made the study of the shoal, said he does not connect its changed po- sition with the crack, but rather relates the searidge to similar structures on the shore which have undergone changes in posi- tion.
 The shoal was sighted at var ious times in the late 18th Gen. tury but was assumed to have existed by 1867 only through what a U. s. coast survey called circulnstantial evidence.

Mineral Leasing Rules Offered To Senate

JUNEAU, LR - A 4O-page bill to provide regulations for the leasing of mineral lands in Alas ka was introduced yesterday in the Senate.
 The measure would limit oil or gas lease holdings to 500,000 acres for any individual or corporation in the state.
 The bill stipulates the leasing of mineral lands of all types would rest with the commissioner of the proposed Department of Natural Resources and with the director of the departments divi- sion of lands. It also provides for both competitive and non-com- petitive leasing. First-come, first served type of leases would be allowed except where the com missioner would rule otherwise.
 A ruling opening an area for competitive leasing of land would come if the commissioner deter mined the best interests of the state would be served.

Texan, Tired of
 City Illustrations, Heads for Alaska

HOUSTON, Tex, R - James M. Brogan carried out his prom ise Wednesday.
 Three years ago he vowed he would go to Alaska should the city of Houston carry out plans to annex an area that included his home.
 Houston annexed a 180-square- mile area in late 1856 and by mid 1858 beat down the last resistance to the move in court.
 Brogan mounted sky-blue pickup truck and headed for Alaska. Brogan, 43, bade Houston farewell because of what he called the illustrations injecting an over grown metropolis - chuck-holed streets, lack of city water and sewer service, garbage cans in the front yard, parking meters, and taxes, taxes, taxes"
 That's what is wrong with the country" he said Everybody pays and almost nobody says word"
 Here, there's just no way for a little man to fight the big man." he said. Tt may be the same in Alaska, but at least there maybe we can do something about it."
 As a prelude to his trip, Bro- gan, a bachelor, sold his neat frame house and withdrew from grocery store and adjoining auto parts store which he had run with a brother.
 His travelling companion to Alaska is a three-month-ol part shepherd pup, Laska.
 The modern-day pioneer will take his 66-year- mother, Mrs. Elsie Brogan, as far as Los Ala mos, Calif., where she will visit a sister.
 Then Brogan will drift leisure ly up the West Coast.
 "I intend to tour every road this side of the Arctic Circle" he said. Just meander around and look for opportunity. If I like the country, I'm going to stay. And I'm going to make a bear dog out of LaSka"

ssSixth Sense'' Yarns DriUers
 Of Trouble
By Martha Johnson, Dodge Safety Consultant

ROASTING some of the fin est safety records on the high ways, drivers of trailer trucks credit much of their driving abil- ity to the development of sixth sense" about trouble on the road ahead.
 Almost any veteran truck driver can tell of how a premo- milton prompted him to slow down, thus saving him from an accident around a curve or over the crest of hill
 Actually, this sixth senee can be developed Ky a,zy dr:=er. It merely is an o;,' oc cau- tious attitucc.
 Start asking . as you drive along, What if | .r3 is an accident just beyond that curve?" or What would I do if a child ran out from between those parked cars ahead?"
 As you think of these possi- Utilities, you will automatically become more cautious; you will reduce your stopping time by several vital seconds because you have planned your reactions.
 Soon you will notice that this mental preparation has made you a much better and safer driver, too.
