Every year about this time
Old Mother Nature shows h e r
authority by turning down her
thermostat for a night or two.
Not quite for good, but usually
long enough to put an end to
tender growing things. The adj
ditional week or two of warm
er weather that follows is Of
ten the difference between a
good crop or none, but with
dead plants there is nothing at
all.
The home gardener can Of
ten save a good crop by being
prepared for early froSts. T h e
first idea is usually to cover the
plant with something. A big
piece of plastic will help if
properly used, but laying it
directly over the plant leaves
gives a very little protection.
You should first make a light
frame to support the plastic
sheet few inches above tn e
plant tops. Some of the heat
radiated from the soil will be
trapped by the plastic, and
will help keep the air around
the plant above freezing.
Of course, a double layer of
plastic is much more effective
than a single sheet. BY adding
a little heat from heaters pla-
ced temporarily under the
plastic cover, quite a heavy
frost can be overcome.
Newspapers are often used,
but they should be tied or
weighted in place. Even so,
they often blow away during
the night.
'sBlazo" cans give good pro-
lection to the individual plants,
as do large cardboard boxes.
Loose hay also works fine, and
can be left between rows for
quick covering of plants when
needed.
In any case, temporary COW
erings should be removed each
day, or the plants will soon die,
even if no frost can get at
them.
Anther common practice is
to keep sprinklers turned on
during the frost periods. Don't
be alarmed if little ice forms,
but be sure to keep the sprink-
lers running, even after it
warns up, until all the ice has
melted again.
Firepots and small campfires
around the home garden can
save you from losing out to
Old Man Frost. For those for
tunate enough to have the gar
den on a slope, be sure to
place the fires or heaters at
the very bottom. The heat will
move up the slope and prevent
cold air from settling in that
area.
Old automobile tires m k
good fuel for frost fires at very
low cost.
Air movement or circula-
ton is the important thing in
preventing early frosts, so
anything that helps keep the
air moving is worth trying.
Small fans placed b e cen
the rows of home garden veg
etables will often do the trick.
For large fields, the blower
fans from various types OF farm
equipment are often pressed
into service.
Well, that's about all we
have time to say about saving
the garden, except that you
better start soon to check on
what's on hand to use. Frost

The controversial Wisconsin
avenue corridor plan was
tossed to the Montgomery
County Council yesterday in
hopes its comment might
hasten q final decision on the
route.
While taking no immediate
action on this planning prob
lem, the Council recorded a
split vote opposing another
matter dear to the hearts of
developers-extension of sewer
lines.
The Az Council vote pro-
tested a bill in the Maryland
General Assembly that would
extend the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission dis
trict throughout Montgomery,
and thereby open the door for
extended water and sewer
lines.
The majority felt the extern
sion would put the WSCC in
the planning business since de-
velopment usually follows wa
ter and sewer lines. Council
support Is expected Tuesday on
another bill enlarging the
county's trunk sewer veto pow
er TO cover all size sanitary
lines.
The Wisconsin avenue cor
ridor matter was brought to
Council chan bers by the
Montgomery County Planning
Board, which Is revising the

ever. looms in two office build
ings planned within the cor
rider route. A four-year-old

binoe at East West Highway

ty. Planners are studying q

Of $3.l3 per 500 of real estate
assessment value and set April

budget.
City Manager Albert M. Hair
jr.. said the tax cut was made
possible by a rise in the assess
ment ratio last year from AZ
per cent TO SO per cent OF

revenues from the updating OF

and an estimated 6.06 per cent
increase in population during

Two men have been charged
with cruelty to animals and
failure to bury dead animals

wyn Smith said that the two
charges were filed against
Richard Turner, secretary

hearing date was set for
March 20.
Early this month the remains
OF hundreds Of dogs, cats and

budget to each adult and child
in Alexandria will be $l76.l8,
compared to the current per
capita cost of $237.65 in Fair

lington, Mr.. Hair said.
The recommended school
budget accounts for $6,995, 900
Of the total. This represents
an increase Of $479,400 over
1923. The city managers
recommended expenditure is
$4,000 less than the school
board requested and an addi-

be cut by the council If there
is "a strong attempt at more
inter-agency cooperation be-
tween the school system and
the rest Of the city government,
Mr.. Hair said.
The main reasons for the
requested increases, according
TO the board. are to hire more
teachers and non-professional
personnel and to raise the sal
aries Of both groups.
More Teachers
The board plans an across
the-board increase of $500 for
new teachers, bringing the
starting salaries for those with
