Not even the South Pole is

The United States Antarctic
Projects Office reports that
two such gardening enthusiasts
have planted c little plot of
greenery only a half a mile from
the very bottom Of the world,
The plot, about 3 feet by Ia
feet contains orange and yel-
low dwarf marigolds, carrots,
calendula an ivy.
Using q "soil" Of vermiculite
and a sun" of fluorescent and
incandescent lights, the gar
deners established their plot
inside q tunnel 20 feet under the
polar icecap. For water they
melted snow dug from a glaciol-
ogist's research pit.
The worlds southernmost
garden apparently is there to
stay. Plans are under way to

Tent CuterpiIIurs
Can Be Checked

This is the month, to seek
out and burn tent caterpillar
eggs.
According to DR.. Edward j.
Duda, director of the Bartlett
Tree Research Laboratories, the
egg masses (150 to $50 eggs in
a mass) are found encircling
smaller twigs of wild cherry,
apple. hawthorne, Towering
crabapple and ounce.
The egg masses are oval
shaped, like a football, choco-
late-brown in color, glistening
with a varnish-like coat. The
twigs encircled are smaller in
diameter than a lead pencil.
Just do this: with a sharp
knife slice off the twig back
of the eggs, then later burn
the egg masses.
Such eradication can save
trees from being defoliated by
tent caterpillars next May.

From Mrs. d. M. H., 1917 Sc
we'll avenue, Falls Church, Va,
Our large weeping willow is
showing signs of disease -
branches snap and twigs fall.
Is there any hope for 1t?
Answer: Failing twigs is a
characteristic Of the willows.
Limbs will break under the
weight of snow or ice. They do
have diseases but am inclined
to believe your tree is showing
only normal characteristics
The removal Of the lower
branches is a common practice
and does not affect the trees
vigor.

Our new lawn did very well
last season but there was crab
grass in a portion; toadstools
In another section. and some
small areas were smothered by
leaves. Will these repair them
selves or must we reseed2 An
swer = The crabgrass can be
controlled by an application Of
Dacthal or zytron in April. The
toadstools, which appeal where
there is humas In the soil are
best removed with q rake be-
fore they discharge a fresh crop
Of spores. The thin areas may
need reseeding. Suggest you
scatter a few seeds and cover
very lightly with some material
to prevent being eaten by birds.

Movinu Plants

From Mrs. N. w. j., 1924
Massachusetts, avenue Sc. Can
shrubs, roses and azaleas be
moved while the ground is fro
zen? Answer-The roses may be
moved barefoot" If they can
be dug. Keep the roots moist
until planting time. The aza-
leas should be moved with a
ball of earth on their roots.
Wrap to prevent the dirt from
falling off and exposing the
roots. Moving at this season is
likely to be difficult since the
ground is frozen to a depth of
two feet in some areas. The
cost of moving shrubs. unless
done by the family, is apt to
be out Of proportion TO the
value of the plants.

Ivy on Walls

From Mrs. F. w., Manassas.
VIII English ivy damage the

clings to the brick by means
of aerial rootlets, which only
anchor the vine to the wall. Ivy
does keep moisture from driving
into the brick during severe
storms; indirectly it keeps the
brick from drying out and this
might result in some frost &C
ton. Other than that POSSIBLE
ity I know Of no possible in
