| WAT IS r HQME -O <' ■ A |aWS-CARDENZ Hedges Are Useful and Beautiful

Too often the hedge is thought of only as a barrier —a living sub-| stitute for a feme But while a hedge serves for Illis purpose so . 1— .1.1.. .

admirably, its usefulness as an , element in design and an orna- , mental addition in the planting , scheme is not fully appreciated. , Most evety home grounds present , opportunity for ’he use or hedge ( planting which will increase the | beauty and effectiveness of the planting scheme. v Ordinarily we think and speak I of a hedge as Using a row of ’ plants close together to effect a solid mass of foliage. In the formal hedge, the plants are trained In geometric outline by periodic 11 trimming. The informal hedge is j : trimmed to gain compactness, hut j the plants are allowed to develop more or less naturally. In landscape design, the formal hedge is almost indispensable. Its uses are legion. That is why most every home grounds can use hedge ireatments to advantage. The I formal hedge can be used to bound I and screen the architectural garden. It can be developed higher I than one's head or. by using certain plants, it can be kept less ' than a foot high. Within the l formal garden one often finds : these low hedges bounding tfie • flower beds and garden paths. In

Grape concentrate needs only water and air to turn j into wine. Many drys oppose it because It should h' levied on products just before they cross the Alcoholic line ; Prohibition enforcement officials privately are stronglv c -posed to lit. They feel th« se ptoduct.; are on the border-line and should not have ! inferential sanction in this way. The proposal to legalize 2.75 per ! cent beer is to bo o.fered as an i j amendment to the tax bill with al ropcied tax of $.3 a barrel. It is sponsored by Rep. Cullen. Dem.. N. Y. He says it is hyprocritical to 'eealize and tax beer ingredients while outlawing them after nature has taken its course. The proposed repealer of the 18th amendment will be up Monday when the house votes on whether ( , to consider the measure? Advance indications are that only , the proposed malt, wort and grace, concentrate tax proposals have a reasonable chance of adoption. o Tax Ferret Arrested Hammond. Ind.. Mar. 8. (U.R)—; Henry Behrtnan. Indianapolis, a tax . ; ferret in Indiana for 20 years, went on trial in latke criminal court today on a charge of extortion. Four affidavits against Rehrman allege that he collected fees and mileage beyond the limit allowe.*, by law while he was chief delinnnent tax colloc or in Lake county last year. Behrman will he tried on an affiidavit til'd by Thomas P. Mullinix. who alleges that Behrman charged him thri'e times the amount of his

the most simple garden, hedges may he used to establish the lines •and pattern of the design. Where there is a formal terra w adjacent to the house, a hedgr

planted along the edge of this terrace will greatlv enhance the appearance of this terrace. Otten, in the case of small houses, a terrace with hedge planting is all that is needed to tie the house to the grounds. Regardless of how the hedge is used it can fulfill its mission to the utmost only when it is properly maintained. The beauty it presents is directly proportionate to the care given it. The hedge does not require great work to be grown properly, but rathet a little attention at the proper time. The hedge which serves in place of a wall may be trained to a line similar to a wall. It may have buttresses, may Vary in thickness and height, and take on all sorts of Interesting forms if properly trained. All that is necessary to i accomplish this is systematic I pruning of the hedge during the ! growing season. The results are well worth the effort. There are many plants available for hedge purposes, both deciduous and evergreen. The plants should be chosen according to .he type of hedge to be developed, its use and location.
