Near Prospect
Are Swindled

An elderly couple living near
Prospect was swindled out of
$403 last Thursday. Warrants
have been issued against tn e
persons still unknown for i'm
personating an officer and felo-
niously obtaining money under
false pretenses. Sheriff James T.
Clark said he has issued a gen.
eral alarm over a Is state area
for the men.
The first case of swindling
came when a man, about 35-40
years of age called on the ED
erly couple and said he was a
member of the Health Depart
ment from Lynchburg. He put
two tablets in the outdoor toilet,
and told them it would take care
of the facility for the next ten
years. He also promised to
bring them a new building the
following Saturday. For this
service" he was paid SIS.
This man was driving a light
blue pickup truck.
About two hours later a boy
about IA or Is years Of age
walked up to the home and said
he was representing the Farm
vile Fire Department. He said
their chimney needed spraying
because the sparks were a threat
TO the dry woods nearby, and
the spraying would protect their
home.
The boy climbed on the roof.
While he was on the roof a man
came up. He was about 35-4C

seed anytime the soil can be

DuffodiIs

From C. D. H., 401 Machinists
Building, 1900 Connecticut ave-
nue. NV. When should I re-
plant the daffodils that were
dug this spring? Answer: The
preferred time for planting is
in September. Later planting
will delay their Towering next
spring. In planting, it is sug-
gested that you incorporate
compost or Sphagnum moss
and bone meal in the bed.
Since the bulbs are normally
covered about 6 inches, the
bed should be prepared to a
depth of at least IL inches.
You may find it easier to re-
move the tip 6 or 8 inches of
soil and then mix the compost
or moss and bone meal into
the bottom of the bed, spading
it as deeply as feasible.

the soil acidity.
The second step in prepar-
ing the new lawn is to incor-
porate a generous quantity of
peatmoss, rotted sawdust, OF
some other form of partially
decayed vegetable matter. We
formerly recommended rotted
manure but that commodity is
usually so well supplied with
weed seeds that it is seldom
safe to use. The cost of fight
ing the weeds exceeds the bene-
fits it should provide. An inch
or two layer of one of these ma
terialS is needed to put the soil
in suitable condition.
The third step is to add from

There are a number of types

are called. Make certain the
soil is well-drained for good
health and performance. And
make certain that the buds are
no more than two inches below
the surface of the soil after

ton of bonemeal is likely tt

peony seems to do best in light

usually results in root troubles

free from competition with tree
roots for best growth. The tree

tolerant as to depth of planting
