history of our country.
We, who have chosen to be their
sentinels, we'll know that what we
guard is nearly 200 years Of courage
and loyalty, Of unbeatable spirit and
devotion to Country and Corps.
Today, as in the past, our strength
is in our readiness and willingness
to carry out any mission signed -
UNFOLDING the high standards Of those
h who have gone before. Let US then
face the future, guided by the STEAD
fast devotion and singleness of pur-
pose, that has made the name, Uni ted

Peruvian DuffodiI

From C. A. S., 1921 North
Adams street, Arlington, Va.
When digging my Peruvian
daffodils last fall the roots
separated from the bulbs. Is
this a disease, too much
water, or what? Answer
Normally the roots are firmly
attached to the bulbs and
do not separate unless in
digging too much pressure is
put on them. New roots will
form but it will slow the
Towering and growth of the
bulbs. That is the reason
growers are cautioned not to
remove the roots, although
some commercial growers do
so to save space and facili-
tate handling. Undoubtedly
most of those you have will
develop and grow.

CumeIIius

From Mrs. M. A., 1912 Liv-
ingston street NV. - The
two leaves incloSed are from
camelliaS-Sasanqua and ia
ponica Pink Perfection. The
Pink Perfection is a new
bush planted where two 9TH
ers had previously died. An
Swer - The leaves definitely
show the effects of some soil
or moisture condition, not a
disease. Even if they were
planted too deeply they
would hardly show this con-
dition, hence it must be
moisture (drainage). Exam
inc the drainage by digging
a small hole at the edge of
the planting hole. Allow it to
remain open until after a
good rain and then note how
quickly the water drains
away.

Mole Plant

From Mrs. H. S., 1911 La
coma street. District Heights,
Md.-Where can one obtain
seed or plants of the mole
plant tEuphorbia lathyrus) !?
I understand that moles will
not come within so feet of a
plant. Answer - The mole
plant is reported to be eff
fective in keeping miles out
of the garden. However, the
only source of seed known is
through the American Horti-
cultural Society and which
are distributed to their mem
bers. Perhaps there are other
sources. Just how widespread
the effect of these plants
may be is. unknown.

GurIic

From r. E. R., 8110 Car
rick lane, Springfield, Va
Where can the divisions
(cloveS) of garlic be obtained
for growing and what is the
culture? Answer-The cloves
are usually planted in the
early spring about 6 inches
apart in rows 18 to "a inches
apart. They should not be
planted deeply, the tops
barely covered with soil. A
rich soil should be avoided
and they do best in a soil
that is neutral or slightly
acid. Dig in the fall after
the tops have died down.

From Mrs. M. Mex, 540l
Glenallan street, Springfield,
Va.-How does one control

cial pellets and arsenic meal
without effect. Answer-Any
one of the metaldehyde bats
should be effective. Place the
meal or pellets beneath a
rock, flowerpot or heavy
board, but leave a crack so
that the slugs may get to it.
The location of these bats
should be near debris, piles

Ternites Are SWarming
In Washington Now
Home Owners ReDort Worst Season In Years
Mild Winter Held
Responsible

Home owners all over this
area have reported unus-
ually large swarmings of
termites. Some authorities
attribute the condition to the
milder winter. Evidently,
the absence of continued be-
low-freezing temperatures
allowed maximum termite
colony activity close to the
ground surface. Termites
burrow up from the ground
in search of wood and often
attack the supporting under
structure of homes. Only an
inspection by experts can
determine if the understruc-
ture is infested. IF termite
infestation in your home is
allowed to spread un-
checked, very costly dam
age can occur-far out oi
proportion to the few pounds
of wood the termites actu-
ally, eat.

Mr.. Hill estimates that ownership of the
house has put about $4,000 miles on his
automobile and cost him about So, 600 for
materials and labor, but he hasn't the slight
est doubt that he got bargain. There are
five rooms on the first floor living room,
dining room, library-den, lounge room and
kitchen and four bedrooms and bath up
stairs
He is especially proud of the spring
house, which he has converted into "a
summertime bar"
A hi-f speaker in the loft connects with
the main unit in the house, and water for
the bar is piped from spring. An old
fashioned soda fountain table with match
ing chairs was picked up at country
auction for $18.
Mr. Hill drives to Mount Sidney on Fri
day nights. 81 usually wait until the bumper
to-bumper traffic across the bridges and
we'll into Virginia has thinned out, ;" he says,
land it takes me about 3h hours to make
the 135-mile trip Oftentimes, I'll start right
in working when l reach the place and con-
tinue straight through until late Saturday
evening before hitting the SACK
The only work Mr.. Hill has hired has
been the plumbing and some of the ex-
terror painting. From old houses razed in
Southwest Washington and on Capitol Hill
he bought many bargains such as shutters,
chandeliers, hardware and other items"
His bathroom fixtures, for example, cost

only $22 and included six.foot tub.
Stripping wallpaper and plastering
have been the most frustrating jobs of ALL"
he says Some rooms had as many as five
layers of paper. By trial and error and much
advice from experienced plasterers, have
become an expert. l found painting to be
the easiest and most satisfying task of ALL"
Mr.. Hill is gradually furnishing the
house with early American pieces which
he buys "in the junk state" and refinishes
himself. Even before l bought the prop
erty," he explains, my hobby was buying
old painted or damaged furniture at bar
gain prices and making it functional"
Mount Sidney is in the central part of
the Shenandoah Valley and has popula-
ton of about 500 people whom Mr.. Hill
rates as the friendliest ever" It has no
policemen, no fire department and no doc
tor. Its few street lights are maintained by
voluntary contributions from residents, and
its telephones are on the Staunton ex-
change. Eight families share Mr.. Hills
line and, he says cheerfully, 1T is almost
impossible to use the phone before 10
o'clock at night"
How does he feel about his front porch
serving as an unofficial Greyhound bus
station?
"This didn't know, of course, when 1
bought the property" he says. But haven't
objected. 1t has given me the opportunity
to meet almost everyone in town."
