May Day Customs Different In U. S.

IVhen I fetched \the loot home and freshened It in a Mason jar, the next order of business: was to haul out the paste pot, some old shopping bafcs, or even old newspapers and make me a May •basket. Ipto the basket went the flowery offspring! of nature and these placed, Along with i a childish mash note’ before the stoop of a number of well-chosen “lady” loves. ; Kids, I reckon, don’t hkye much fun any more. True,- they still dance about the Maypole, hang baskets and .crown the queen of May. This year some 2,000\ festivals arfe scheduled for \schools and playgrounds around the country. ‘ Put, so nething is missing. The kids are encouraged to buy, not make their own, baskets. I’ll have to admit that some of the readymade baskets are things of rare beauty. Also instead of running into tiie wood\s to snitch a petal, the youpg fry is dnciouraged to put the arm on the old man for a dollar to buy same fropi the \ street vendot ir the nearest florist. i Det’s go into a little history df May Day, not meaning the kind the Communists observe. May Day is thought to have started with the early Romans. They put on an elaborate hoedown to meet the lowing. It was called ‘‘Florilla,” and was dedicated to ’'Flora,” the Roman goddess of flower!. But the British later took 'on the custom. ,i' In the medieval days, May Day custom# Were interesting, and beautiful. Master and servant alike stirred out of their beds at the crack of dawn to ‘‘go-a-May-ing.” They were armed with the branches of trees and flowers, and son 6 strong ones also lugged aloikg a Maypole. ; J '• The pole then was decorated by the children and everyone kicked up a heel {around It. \ ; .

Homemaking Tips From The County iExtension Office , The use of accessories in furnishings makes a home individual and gives it a lived-in appearance. Such accessories include bowls, pottery, figurines, books, growing plants, flower arrangement, pictures, hobby displays,\ lamps, mirrors, and clocks. The final selection pnd placing ot these should be personal. Two accessories in decorating are exceptions. are placement rules for pictures and lamps. There is an old saying that pictures should be hung at eye level. the question arises as to whose eye level, because memberji of the family are hot the same height. Mirrors and pictures have an appearance of belonging when they ar? hung with a unit of furniture below them. There is no '• place for picture hanging alone on a Wall with nothing underneath. Lamps, of course, should be placed so that they will give the best light on the work. Special shelves < may provide space for hobby displays. In some' homes, a few items are displayed at a' thne, giving a jrariety for the season of the year. This avoids a cluttered look and saves time because there are fewer articles to dust. In' regard to choosing and displaying accessories, it is well to emphasize quality rather than quantity. For' example, a small

figure standing by a lamp with harmonizing colors is more attractive than several small articles clustered around the lamp. Accessories add distinction and individuality to a home, giving It a live-in look. Starting Plartte fin Hotbeds The fcotibed and cold frame i;an work to a good advantage for the gardener who it is used properly. Th? purpose of the hotbed Is to produce economically to have healthy, stocky plants ready for the garden at the time they should be set. \ 1 Weafc And sick plants or plants dwarfed or. overgrown should not be set in thd garden as recovery is ?ldw and maturity is delayed. Whatever method is used to heat the soil in the bed and to keep the air around the plants at normal temperature, 65 to 70 degrees F., careful attention is required. Too hpch or too little w’ater and the lack Os temperature control may ruin an entire bed in a short tim?. Soil for theMsLotbed should be reasonably fertile, s comparatively free of weed dr other soil troubles, and one ithat does not crust. Seeds should’ be sown from 35 t 6 40 days .preVibus to transplanting. Gardeners interested in hotbeds should ask fdr extension bulletin No. 270, “Hotbed Construction and Management,” at the \, county agent’s office in the basement of the post office.
