THE BIBLE AND YOU
By GEORGE PECK

Dy 1EoNSE E(N
Editors Note: George Peck is
Honorary Chairman of the Lay
mems National Committee, spon-
sor of National Sunday School
and Bible Weeks.)
The theme for this years Ma
tional Bible Week, to be observed
October 1925, is The Bible and
YOU This is the event which has
been sponsored each year since
1941 by the Laymen's National
Committee, an inter-faith, non
political, non-profit organization
dedicated to the proposition that
America was founded on mans
consciousness of God, mans daily
labor and the fruits therefrom.
The theme, The Bible and
YOU is a most apt and fortunate
choice at this particular time,
Never in history has man stood in
such need of the comfort and
solace which lie between the COW
ers of Gods Holy Book-The Bible.
The world sits on the brink of
what can develop into a war that
would utterly destroy it. These
are most trying times. We are liv-
ing in a haze of constant tension,
in a world where the dark thun-
der-clouds of war hang over the
horizon and seemingly refuse to
move on. There is an ever-present
threat of disaster that could result
in the complete destruction of the
civilization laboriously built up
over an era of many centuries.
Serving as National Chairman
for 1859 National Bible Week is
H. E. Humphreys, Jr, Chairman
of the Board, the United States
Rubber Company. In accepting this
important assignment, Mr.. Humph-
reys had this to say:
I'VE need spiritual and moral
guidance today more than ever
before.
Our day-to-day problems some
times seem to overwhelm us. The
space age poses questions we do
not fully understand. And all
around us we see evidence Of
moral irresponsibi!ity, tempting us
to ignore the religious principles
we were taught to follow
There is no better guide, no
better set of principles or source
of inner strength than the Holy
Bible. 1t is the answer for us as
individuals, as a society, and as a
world searching for the truth"
At about the time MIR Humph-
reys agreed to act as National
Chairman of 1859 National Bible
Week, he received another invita-
ton. This came from his friend,
Donald l. Rogers, whose column,
Wall Street, U. S. A" appears
regularly in the New York Herald
Tribune-to do a guest column
while he, Rogers, was on vacation.

Nowadays physicians have
the power to perform seeming
miracles. They prescribe medi-
cines that can be depended up
on to accomplish a definite re-
suit. This ability to cure has
been gained by years of study
ing to learn the knowledge re-
quired to properly diagnose and
treat sickness.
Yet some door to-door ped
dlers often presume to tell
people the food supplements
they sell will cure. Without
medical knowledge such advice
is worthless and even harmful.
Don't be misIed. Depend on
your physicians advice and the
really potent Vitamins and med
icines he will prescribe.

ScrapboOk Date. September II

Number one job this month
any seeding or reseeding Of
lawn areas should be done as
early as possible. Grass takes
from several days to two or
three weeks to terminate and
SO should not be delayed any
longer than necessary. The
milk spore disease to control
japanese beetles might well be
applied now. The planting of
daffodils and the evergreens
should get early attention.
Then there is the seed Of the
hardy ANIMALS to be sown now
as space becomes available.
Grass seed must have a firm
seed bed If termination is to
be good, but do not roll a wet
soil with a heavy roller. To do
so Is to destroy the soil texture.
The more moist the soil the
lighter the rolling.
Slopes and terraces should be
protected from erosion by COW
ering with a thin layer of straw,
thin pieces Of burlap or a thin
fabric impregnated with grass
seed. The straw might well be
fastened down with string or
with brush to prevent its blow
ing away. The straw, which is
the more common method Of
protecting slopes. should be
free from weed seed.

The molding OF a towns ex-
terror character through land

many parts of the country, ac-
cording TO the American AS

shape the urban landscape ac-
cording to better principles of

BY WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN
star Garden Editor


Most gardeners. particularly
IN the barren new develop
ments, want shade.
Any kind Of tree reputed to
grow and produce some relief
from the hot summer sun is
welcomed.
Trees last many years. So II
we make a poor selection we
are stuck with our mistake for
years to come. Thus we should
start our selection at an early
date and with the help Of nur-
serymen and our gardening
friends try to arrive at the best
possible choice. This article will
not tell you what to plant. 1t
is designed to direct your
thinking.
The following points were
developed by the Maryland
Nurserymen's Association. They
cover all the significant factors
that make a tree desirable or
undesirable as q shade tree.
However, some will take excep-
ton to a tree because the seed
pods fall on the ground and
must be swept UP. Others may
dislike a tree because 1t has
thorns or some other feature.
Generally those are minor fea-
lures and hardly to be COM
pared with the characteristics
listed.
/. General compatibility with
the lawn and shrubbery-other
plant life. Some trees are so
shallow rooted grass or shrub
berry cannot grow within their
root area. The walnuts have a
substance that Is toxic to mem
Der Of the rhododendron family.
2. Do they have special soil,
moisture, hardness require
ments? Some trees require a
well-drained situation: others
require considerable moisture,
q few are not hardy enough
to justify growing here.
3. What are the growth
habits? Are the branches
strong or weak? Trees gener-
ally have a characteristic shape,
such has the vase form Of the
American Elm, the columnar
form Of the Lombardy poplar,
etc. While neither Of these
two are recommended by this
writer. they do illustrate the
point that trees have definite
shapes and may not suit a par
ticular site. Then there are
trees whose limbs are so weak
that they break easily. The
Chinese elm. for example, as
it reaches maturity can drop
large limbs for no especial rea-
son.
4. Some of the more desirable
trees are difhcult to transplant
and, in the case Of the beech,
must be purchased almost as
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-11

pot plants. The fast growing
scarlet oak Is most difficult. as
is the sour gum.
S. Resistance to drought or
to excess moisture can be i'm
portant to the trees vigor in
certain locations. Some such
as the willows can tolerate
much more moisture than
others. Deep rooted trees usu-
ally are the more drought re-
sistant.
6. Some trees cannot with
stand crowding. AS trees crowd
shade becomes q factor and
some trees cannot tolerate it.
7. In some situations 1t is
important that the trees retain
their lower branches. Where
this is q factor it will rule out
such trees as elms. some naples,
etc. They should not be used
for screening.
8. Some trees are tolerant of
pruning while others suffer a
shock. An apple tree. for ex-
ample. withstands almost any
kind Of pruning without In
jury or shock, but a mimosa
tree seems to resent any effort
at pruning. The beech and the
hornbean can be sheared.
9. OF course no one should be
interested in q tree that is in
tested with insects or subject
to serious disease. The lovely
sweet gum is not on the recon-
mended list because Of a serious
virus disease. The American
sycamore Is troubled with the

show make certain that you
read the schedule carefully. In
particular note the number Of
stems or blooms. the number
Of beans or tomatoes that are
required for an entry Enter

less, or the entry will be dis

What Are Some Guiding Factors
In Choosing Your Shode Trees?

anthracnose to the point where
II is undesirable as a lawn tree.
The Moraine thornless honey
locust Is so troubled by the
mimosa webworm In this area
that 1t is greatly weakened and
unthrifty.
10. Good foliage is a desir-
able feature Of q shade tree.
Some trees have dense foliage,
others thin. and in some cases
the foliage is weak and keeps
falling throughout the season.
IL. Not many Of our major
shade trees have attractive
flowers. but some do. Flowers
should be rated as an added
value rather than being a de-
termining characteristic.
IL. Along with the flowers we
may have interesting fruits
which have a plus value.
Is. Some trees have a stout
leader. others have a wide
spreading open top. Some have
dropping branches while others
have upright pointing limbs
IA. Undesirable root systems.
Under No. / mention was made
Of shallow root systems that
precluded grass and shrubbery.
A few trees have root systems
that are even more objection
able. They heave sidewalks. en-
ter drainage systems and even
utility lines. These features are
not evident in the young tree
but as 1t reaches maturity they
become painfully evident, some
times rather costly.
is. The removal Of leaves and
fallen fruits should not be con-
sidered an important feature in
selecting a tree but many do
and so it is mentioned here.
Some leaves. such as those OF
the oaks are long lasting, while
those Of the birch and willow
decay quickly.
Is. Life expectancy. Some
trees are noted for their long
life while others are rated as
short-lived. The white oak is
noted for its long life while the
redbud because of disease sell
dom lasts more than 10 to Is
years. The pin oak. hornbean,
beech. and linden have rela-
lively longer lives than the
birch and mimosa.
No mention was made Of the
rate Of growth. and everyone
wants quick shade-the quicker
the better. Unfortunately rapid
growth and long-life seldom 60
together. Some solve this prob
lem by planting the faster
growers where they will pro-
duce the needed shade and To-
cate as near to the ideal loca-
ton as possible desirable per-
manent trees. When the latter
reach an appreciable size they
remove the temporary. quick
growers.

Divide Peonies ,

Peonies seldom need to be
lifted and divided - generally
only when more plants Of a
given variety are desired. This
is the season to do the job
II 1t is desired. Dig and wash
the dirt from the roots. Let
lie in the sun for a few days
to wilt and become limp be-
fore trying to cut apart. Each
division should have from
three to five eyes-the larger
the division the better, since
they will make the better dis
play.

Size and Shape

In selecting specimens fol-
entry, try to have them uni
form as to size and shape II
more than one is to be entered
Avoid dirty flowers or fruits
and those with insect or dis
ease injury should be discard
ed. Over-ripe vegetables anc
fruits should be avoided.
