for use in refined areas.
Some excellent plants we'll

matrimony vine, memorial

Ground cover planting is
usually associated with some
shady place, but there are
excellent ground covers you
can use to good advantage in
full sunlight.
An open slop ewhere ero-
sion may be a problem. or
where maintenance of grass
is difficult, is a place where
sun-loving covers can be a
decided asset. You also can
use these where you want
to lessen your maintenance
burden by reducing the size
Of your lawn area.
The best plants for ero-
sion control are those which
spread rapidly by sending
up new growth from spread
ing underground roots. or by
layering. When the branches
of some plants come in con-
tact with the soil, roots
develop at the points of con-
tact. This is known as layer
ing.
Given satisfactory grow
ing conditions, plants having
the faculty of spreading in
these two ways will quickly
form a dense mat of vege-
tation. A cover like this, in
itself, slows down the speed
with which water runs down
a slope. AS the rate is slowed,
securing action is decreased
and water absorption is in
creased.
Ground cover plants for
level or gently sloping areas
need not have the same root
ing characteristics as those
used on moderate or steep
slopes. though they, too,
should grow and spread
vigorously enough to prevent
weeds and grass from spring.
ing up between them.
Choose for Site
1t is important to select
ground cover plants suited
to particular situations. For
example, matrimony vine is
a prodigious grower that is
ideal for rough. steep banks.

For ground covers in sun

On a large map they pointed

that the board had not as yet

lag the rise in population. In
that event. the growth trend in

bullish for the future. may
work as a depressing influence.
A Word to Parents
What does the above mean to
parents of growing children to-
day? 1t means that parents of
all nations must devote attention
to helping their children prepare
for their future. Not only does
this mean providing them with
book learning" but also taking
care that they acquire the fun
damental habits of persever-
ance, industry, and thrift.
In addition, parents must
above all see to it that their
children develop good character,
good health, and sane faith.
These three things. more than
anything else, will enable chill
dren to deal successfully with the
problems in their future. In
short, if their children possess
CHARACTER, HEALTH, and a
SANE FAITH they will be rich.
Otherwise, they will be poor.

the birth rate. On the other
hand, new means of sanitary liv-

proper nutrition are causing
fewer babies to die. Hence, l
