Office Lids Win
BY VIVIAN BROWN
AP NeWsfeatures Writer

An employer will hire a girl
with less skills than he requires
If she wears a hat and gloves,
employment agency head A d e. g
Lewis said recently.
Now along comes intriguing con-
firmatfon of Miss Lewis remarks.
A news letter From Nine to
Five" distributed to business girls,
published by a business tex t s
company ran a poem about wo-
mems hats written by Wilbert K.
Scheer, personnel director of a
large outfit in Chicago. The COM
pany welcomed letters on the sub
ject from office workers. Prizes
were offered.
The poem, Little Petrushka, +"
that started it all was this:
The little Petrushka in frilly
babushka
Goes scurrying down the
street.
Her manner is pleasant, be-
fitting peasant
Whose outfit appears in
complete.
In all of her clothing, there
really is nothing
That could not be called neat
and pressed.
But picking a headdress, her
taste suffers deafness;
Her bonnet does not match the
rest.
Her money she'll squander on
bills quite beyond her

In a world torn this way

But when we go to our door

trees and shrubs, we cannot
help but feel that, Goods In

The little dogwood on ou1
front lawn is still a tiny tree.
for it was just planted last
fall. But it is as red as the
ribbon on a little girls hat
every leaf the same crimson
color. Soon, however, the
leaves will turn the color OF
the good earth and fall to the
ground.
Across the driveway from
the little dogwood, stands 9
giant Elm. In the ealy fall
this tree was a picture to be

in the noon day sun. We called
it our Golden Tree" 1t is
beautiful every year, thou
sands of yellow leaves, the
color of pure gold, flutterine

the leaves came tumOllng

stands naked and bare to the
wild winds, that whip and cut
its branches.
This years autumn is just
as radiant and colorful as

and trouble and disharmony

To black velvet, studded with
silver stars. The mornings

Thin Your Apple
And Peach Fruits
While Small
By BRIAN x. FINGER

Assistant Montgomsry County AGENT
Don't worry about the drop
ping Of the small apples and
peaches fsom tsees. There will
be plenty left after June drop.
You'd better plan to thin
your fruits.
When apples are about the
size Of marbles. they should be
removed from the tree by snap
ping them off, leaving the stem
on the tree. Leave one apple
per cluster and thin off entire
clusters where necessary. so as
to have the fruits about 4 to 6
inches apart.
When peaches become about
the size of a walnut, thin them
to 4 to 6 inches apart. Use
either the fingers or a piece
of rubber hose to knock them
off to the correct spacing. This
is easier than hand thinning.

star Garden Editor

Everyone wants to keep gar
dens free from pests during
1.-THE summer. assuming that
they are about to be swampec
with q horde Of pests of one
kind or another. Actually, We
have only two major pest prob
lems-red spider mites anc
japanese beetles. OF course
there are a few other visitors
we could do without but they
seldom constitute a major
problem.
The red spider mites are tiny
prolific sucking insects. Gen.
lerally speaking, they are
troublesome because most Of
the materials used to fight
them kill only the adults anc
do not affect eggs or nymphs
Because of this characteristic
we must apply three sprays
or dustS, at weekly interval.
to reach the various cychica
stages they go through.
Another part of the problem
is that the red spider mite
spends his entire life cycle or
the undersides of leaves. Thus
our control material must be
applied to the undersides OF
the leaves.
Moreover. materials to kill
the red spider mite are volatile
and effective for a compare
lively short time.
Black Leaf 40, the first of
such material, was effective for
less than an hour.
Malathion, the latest and
longest lasting, has no killing
power after several hours.
Cygon, a systemic material
that is absorbed by the plant
will give protection for various
periods of time depending upor
the plant. On roses it seems
to be effective for about one
week; on azaleas it lasts most
of the summer.
Also noteworthy is Tedion
a material that kills eggs ano
nymphs and thus is an ef-
fective control as long as il
can be thoroughly applied to
the undersides of the foliage
However, Cygon, whenever q
supply becomes available, APP
pears to this writer as more
likely to meet the needs of the
home gardener. On most plants
one application will provide the
necessary protection.
In addition to the chemical
controls we may also use a
forceful stream Of water from
the hose that will knock" them
from the leaves and this is
effective if continued through
out the season at weekly or
even longer intervals. There are
several predator insects that
feed on the red spider mites
and by care we can build up
a supply of them, but usually
only the entomologist or
lobbyist will take the neces-
sary steps.
Japanese Beetles
The control of the japanese
beetle, a pest that seems to
eat everything but does favor
certain plants. is not as easy
to control as some may think
The Japanese beetle will fly
about two miles which means
that few areas are far enough
from suitable breeding spots to
escape injury. Most gardeners
dread the summer invasion OF
this pest because of its vor-
acious appetite. However, the
greatest damage is to the turf
where the grubs feed upon
grass roots about nine months
Where the grubS are really
thick they cut the grass roots
off about 2 inches below the
ground level so that the turf
can be rolled up.
The beetles are most easily
controlled by treating all
sodded areas with the milky
spore disease and with chlor-
