THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

Now that the rains have
softened the soil the renovating
Of the old lawns and the max
ing Of the new should be done
as quickly as possible. The
'peony roots, daffodil bulbs and
evergreen trees and shrub s
benefit from early fall planting
Fall is the ideal time to rem
ovate old lawns and to start
new ones. Blue grass and fes-
cue seed terminate best in cool
moist weather, also there is less
competition with weeds. An
adequate supply of fertilizer
should be spread to revive the
old grasses and to get the new
off to a good start. Lining
is beneficial and ground lime
stone may be applied at the
same time as the fertilizer and
seed. However, don't apply seed
this week and fertilizer next
week.
If the peony foliage shows
signs Of disease it might be
well to remove and burn. Most
gardeners prefer to leave two or
three inch stubs to mark the
location Of the peony clumps.
Now is a good time to remove
the grass and weeds from
around the peony clumps and
to apply a 5-10-5 or similar
mixture to the peonieS.

pests. This spraying is best
done out Of doors. Malathion
is probably one Of the better
mixtures for this purpose. Small
ported plants might well be
dunked In the solution. An ap-
plication Of fertilizer should
help the plants to Withstand
the shock Of coming indoors.
Straggly plants might well be
pruned.

Fall Flower Bulbs

Drought Affects
Rosebush Crop

The 1864 drought affected
the growth Of the rose bushes
in Pennsylvania as it did most
other crops. The experts think
the bushes are at least a third
lower in growth. This will not
affect the size Of bushes de-
livered nor did 1t affect the
root systems. Some think that
the rose bushes probably may
have a heavier mass of roots
developed In their search for
moisture.
According to the standards
of the American Association
of Nurserymen, q No. bush
should have three or more
strong canes, two Of which to
be 10 inches in length. This is
for the teas, hybrid teas, and
Igrandiflora kinds, although
the specifications do state that
some Of the weaker growing
varieties may not quite meas
ure up, and are exempted.
No. IL and No. 2. have fewer
and smaller canes.
Since the nurserymen cut
back the bushes after digging,
the field height does not nee
essarily affect the grade Of
the bush. Moreover, most Of
us should, and do, cut back
the canes after planting to an
inch above the soil mound.
Mounding is necessary to pro-
tect the canes over winter and
since they are only 8 to 10
inches in height the canes do
not need to be more than a
foot in length, probably 10
inches would be adequate.

to suffer when students turn
to cigarettes.

Among the smoking group
there was little or no respect
for punctuality, attendance OF
desire to learn" he said
Rather, it appears that as q
result of their smoking habits
they fell behind proper grade
levels, took less challenging
courses. and woefully betrayed
themselves in academic
ability"
A check Of the smoker 10
scores clearly indicated that
they were able to do better
work than they did, Mr.. Car
aker said. None Of the 17C
smokers earned an "a" average
and only three qualified for
honor role status with an aver
age of 'B."
Eight girls out of 80 in the
smoking group and A boys out
of 140 were actually in the
process of flunking out. Mr.
Caraker's data showed. Eght-
cen of the girls and 10 of the

poison the memory centers Of
the brain as well as doing
other damage to the central
nervous system.
The school at which he
conducted his detailed study
issues smoking permits" to
students who obtain written
permission from their parents.
An area known as the "smok-
ing court" is set aside for their
use, he said.
A survey Of some 10000 high
school students in various
sections of the country shows a
large number Of smokers, Mr..
Caraker said. For some reason
he did not explain. Catholic
high schools seem to have a
higher proportion of smokers
than do public schools.
Figures cited by DR.. Caraker
showed A per cent Of the
senior boys and 43 per cent Of
the senior girls in parochisl
high schools to be smokers.
This compared with IS per
cent Of the boys and ~ per
cent Of the girls in big city

es and 81 per cent Of the boys
and IS per cent Of the girls in

FavOrs Clinics

Mr.. Caraker urged a crack
down on smoking in schools
and a creation of anti-smoking
clinics, such as have been
opened in Britain, Ito help
those who find difficulty in
giving up smoking"
He also suggested Q ban on
sale of tobacco to children and
the labelling Of cigarette pack
ages to show tar and nicotine
content.
Failure to take drastic ac-
ton, Mr.. Caraker said, means
that the scope Of intellectual
deterioration among teenagers
will increase. and they face

Sight to Remember
Backstage at the Capitol

ritory, too. There was always
the chance that someone new
might be lured into that
chair the stagehand had
wired to startle unsuspecting
sitters. Some dignified per-
formers leaped out of their
dignity and yelped when
trapped by that one.
1t was in the green room
there that a lad named
Mickey Rooney submitted to
an interview, played the
piano and impressed as a
supercharged young man not
too hobbled by lack of con-
fidence and self-esteem. A
few years later he was back
for one of the Birthday Balls,
still supercharged and pro-
viding an unforgettable
spectacle. In his frenetic
wake stalked a tall, erect,
serene brunette, her face a
frozen mask. 1t was a Mrs.
Rooney named Ava Gardner.
