Luwn Weeds .

One Of the best ways to con-
troll weeds in the lawn is to
maintain a good stand Of grass.
This requires three steps:
/. Ample fertilization to
maintain plant growth.
2. Cutting at Ia to 2 inches.
8. Lining so that the soil
is only Slightly acid.
This latter point is one that
is commonly overlooked, be-
cause grass plants win grow IN
sweet as well as acid soils.
However. in an acid soil the

Spruy Sequence

It win soon be time for the
fruit trees to start Towering
and that marks the beginning
of a spray program which will
protect the fruit from insects
and diseases. The first such
spray is applied when tie flower
buds are just beginning to show
pink tcalled pre-pink) and the
second as the petals begin to
fall fpetal-fall). Subsequent
sprays are called cover sprays
and, are designed to keep the
fruit and foliage coated with a
protective material which will
kin the bugs as they attempt to
bite, and to destroy disease
spores as they reach foliage OF
fruit Such cover sprays are
applied frequently enough to
keeR up with the new growth
and also 70 replace material re-
moved by the showers.

Glad corms

It is time to make the first
planting of gladiolus corms,
Paintings spaced two or three
weeks apart until the first Of
July viii provide a continuous
supply Of cut flowers through
out the season. The new min.
iature varieties are prolific
boomers and make excellent
material for the smaller flower
arrangement.
Treat the corms by soaking
in a lysol solution if they are
infected with disease. A dust
ing. very light, with DDT will
help to control the thrips that
spent the winter on the corms

Historical Data

Historians of Winston-Salem

built, carry their data in suit
cases.
The history-laden handbags
came into existence when the
Rev. Douglas Rights, Old Salem's
preacher historian, gave two of
his museum workers an outline
of separate incidents in the his
tory of the town. The workers
fashioned crude wooden figures
to represent the incidents and
the suitcase history was born.
Resembling ordinary hand
bags, the suitcases when open
ed are miniature stages and the

various scenes depicting differ
ent eras in the city's develop
ment from its origin in 1852 are
revealed.
The suitcases are arranged in
chronological order, each deal
ing with some specific part of
Winston-Salem history. Empha-
sis is placed on the early Nor
avian settlement, but the series
of incidents begin with a picture
of Indian life, complete to the
smallest detail.
The tiny figures, all carved
from soft pine wood, stand in
the suitcases. Also depicted are
the first log house being built
in 1883, the stockades of Beth
abara fort, constructed in l756,
various phases of colonial life,
including the gunsmith, the pot
ter at his wheel, and the first
schoolhouse.
A replica of the tavern where
George Washington spent the
night in 1898 is complete to
the brilliant yellow coach and

pursuing General Greene, is
shown marching through the

coats in 1871.
