THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

The prolonged drought is be-
ginning to affect trees and
shrubs in many parts Of the
Metropolitan area. Those with
whiting leaves should be given
q deep soaking. preferably us
ing one Of the root-feeder rods
that are fairly easy to push
into hard ground. They have
holes in the tip for releasing
moisture a foot or more below
the ground surface. These rods
are equipped with a cartridge
chamber for the application Of
fertilizer in solution, but this
is not the primary considera-
ton at the moment, but rather
to try and save valuable trees
and shrubs,

BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
Three Stems Rise
At Own Angles
BY MRS. HERBERT n. GREGER

Usually, the flower clusters
are Of similar size and the ar
rangers main concern is their
plotting in space, their relation
to the container and the wood
en- base which doubles the con-
tainer's size.
Three stout scapes rise in q
sharp triangular pattern, form
ing an acute angle at the base.
This angle is clearly halved.
The dividing, central line is
the shortest Of the three and
the only straight line. The
strongest scape was chosen as
the natural leader. It rises
loftily and without embellish-
ment. The second flower stalk
fits closely into the same space
on the flower holder. Through
its gentle shallow curve it
reaches into a different area,
giving a different exposure.
The third Lycoris, which is
placed exactly in front Of the
two stronger stems, allows a
glimpse into the center Of a
funnel shaped blossom.
It is easy to be fooled. With
so many angles and so many
straight lines, it seems, per-
hapS, that this is q rectilinear
arrangement. BY the simplest
construction, your eye must
wander in and out, up and
down the curved and colorful
lines Of the living components
Of the composition. You will
find that the radiant beauty of
these remarkable performers
blend in beauty and harmony
with the stark, angular sim
plicity Of the container.

Tomato Rot

Many tomatoes are showing
blossom end rot" In many
cases this is caused by lack Of
moisture; sometimes it occurs
because Of overwhelming, and
in a few cases from the use
Of too much fertilizer. One Of
these is likely to be the cause
Of the Sunken dark colored
areas on the blossom side OF
the fruit.

Bird Health

Keep the bird baths well
filled with water-the birds are
suffering for lack Of moisture
as well as are our gardens
Lacking a birdbath put out q
crock or shallow pan filled with
water, preferably on a stump
or some other place where the
birds can get to it. II above

to. fall prey to cats. If neal

Fall Bulbs

Normally at this season gar
den supply centers have sever
al kinds Of fall-flowering bulbs
available for the home garden
er. This season in most cases
they are late in arriving, but
those who wish to have them
in their gardens should be on
the lookout. The more COM
monty grown Of the fall-flow-
ering bulbs are: Colchicum-it
resembles q large crocus;
Sternbergia lutea - a yellow
flower on 6 or 8 in. stems; the
fall Towering crocus - various
colors and look best wher
planted in clumps of 10 OF
more bulbs. They look especial
ly nice in rock gardens but the
Sternbergia lutea makes a nice
edging plant.

The hardy Lycoris squami-
gera Is an unusual flower of the
summer garden. 1t grows well
in sun or half shade and blooms
after many perennial flowers
are past. Its pinkish, fragrant
flowers stand two to three feet
high. Strap shaped leaves push
UP in spring, ripen quickly and
leave no trace Of the plants
location.
Suddenly, when you least ex-
pect them, these summer bulbs
begin to give a most beautiful
display. Other kinds Of LycoriS
are red, yellow and scarlet, and
the blooming period stretches
from June to August. LycoriS
squamigera is the talleSt, most
striking of them all.
Since the ovoid, tunicateo
bulbs propagate themselves
quite freely, a small harvest OF
these fine flowers will not de-
plete your garden of its share
Of beauty. Cut some Of the
fully opened flowers, but in
clude enough buds to have
them unfold after you have ar
ranged them. They last re-
markably well and the small
effort viii repay you with sew
eral days Of pure pleasure.
These members Of the Am.
aryllis family are decidedly
primadonnas. AS cut flowers
they demand to be the entire
show or they will not perform
happily. Small wonder that
they are called Lycoris, the
name Of q favorite Roman
actress in the time of Mark
Anthony.

Beetle Eggs

The Japanese beetles are
practically gone. but this
means that the eggs laid in the
turf are now Matching. With
this dry season, it Is likely that
the rate Of survival of the eggs
will be higher than in a nor
NAL season. For this season 1t
is important that turf areas be
treated with the Milky Spore
disease and or chlordane. This
will kill the grubs and reduce
next years crop Of beetles, but
more important, treatment will
reduce also the number of
grubs feeding on the grass
roots and further weakening
the turf.-W.H.Y.

Planting Trouble

The drought is very effec-
lively postponing many sea-
sonal jobs - the planting OF
orien al poppies. Madonna
lilies. evergreen shrubs. reno
vation Of lawns, etc. The
ground is just too hard to dig
and even If it could be broken
up the resulting planting holes
or beds would not be well pre-
pared. It is better to wait for
the rains, but it will take sew
eral good "soakers" to restore
the moisture level to normal.

Parasitic Plant

Dodder, a parasitic plant is
showing up in some gardens.
1t should be removed even
though it means cutting off
the infested plant. Get every
particle and burn. Dodder is
most likely to appear on chrys-
anthemums. ragweed, saliva,
hardy asters. and on clover and
alfalfa. The orange colored
threadlike stems twine all oveI
infested plants and should be
easily seen at this season.

Wasp Bottle

Bees and wasps seem to be
unusually plentiful in the gar
den this season. This does not
refer to the bees that visit the
flowers in search of nectar and
pollen, but to those who build
nests on twigs, or in holes in
the lawn. A handy means of
wiping them out with little OF
no danger to the gardener is
an aerosol with DDT. A few

Texas Schedules
Poll Tax Vote

AUSTIN, Tex, Mar. 10 (AP) 4.
Texas voters will get a chance
on May 5 to say how they feel
about abolishing the poll tax
and legalizing horse race bet
ting.
State Executive Committees
of both the Democratic and
Republican Parties decided
yesterday to submit the ques-
tons in their primary cleo
tons.
The outcome will not be
binding on the Legislature, but
it could exert considerable in
fluence on office holders and
those seeking election.
Ballots Of both parties will
permit voters to ask submits
sion of a constitutional amend
ment banning the poll tax.
Texas is one Of five States
levying such a tax as a formal
requirement for voting.
The Democratic ballot will
let voters say whether they
think the Legislature should
put parimutuel gambling in a
proposed constitutional amend
ment or give the lawmakers
direct authority to take this
step.
The Republicans merely will
ask voters If they favor a con-
stitutional amendment to sane
ton parimutuel betting on a
local option basis.

Victim of Cancer,
Scientist Improves
BY the Associated Press

Leo Szilard, pioneer physicist,
who in 1860 figured he might
die of cancer within a year,
now says his symptoms have
vanished.
Mr.. Szilard, a native of Hun
gary, is one of the fathers of
the atomic bomb. He was a
member of the University of
Chicago group led by the late
Enrico Fermi which achieved
hiStory'S first self-sustaining
nuclear chain reaction Deem
Der 2, 1912.
Now "a, Mr.. Szilard was
stricken some years ago with
cancer of the bladder. From
1859 to November, 1860, he was
in the Memorial Sloan-Ketter-
ing Cancer Center in New York.
X-ray treatment was admin
istered, he said, and since Feb
ruary, 1860, his symptoms have
disappeared, although his stay
in the hospital was prolonged
beyond that date because of
side effects.
