The quanity of soap and method of drying are quite as important.

tensive winter damage may result from poor drainage and from the heaving action of alternate freezing and thawing. Water expands when frozen and contracts when it thaws, as is well known to most gardeners. Since soil is usually moist in the winter, expansion d shrinkage occur whenever eezing and thawing take place. Freezing lifts the soil, and thawing lets it drop, at the same time making it soft and wet. The action is most violent near the surface, since winter thawing is seldom deep, so that shallow rooted plants are often heaved entirely out of the ground by repeated thaws. Grass which has developed a deep, sturdy root system, will resist heaving successfully. The most important factor in producing a sturdy, deep rooted turf is adequate plant food. An adequate feeding program calls for spreading on a complete plant food at the rate of four pounds for each 100 square feet in the early spring; half

|this quantity six weeks later, and

another application of four pounds per 100 square feet in the early fall after the heat of summer has passed.

The Question Box

Q—Is it advisable to paint the new plaster in a home?

A—New plaster, being aliialine, does not afford a good foundation for paint. To neutralize the free lime, treat the walls with a solution of 3 to 4 pounds of zinc sulphate in 1 gallon of water. The solution may be applied with a calcimine brush or paint sprayer, and should be aliowed to dry thoroughly before the walls are painted.

Q—To which State official should one write in reference to help for an orphaned child? A—The Department of Public Welfare has general supervision over such matters.

Urges Schools To Teach

Conservation

Times Special : FRENCH LICK, Ind, Oct. 9.— Courses in conservation of -natural resources should be added to public school curricula, delegates to the semi-annual conference of the National Council of State Garden Clubs, Inc. were told yesterday by Mrs. E, C. Cline, Richmond, Ind. president of the Garden Club of Indiana. Mrs. Cline declared the need for such study was brought about by the rapid disappearance of natural resources. . “Public schools,” she said, “teach what parents want their children to learn, so it is up to public-spirited organizations of militant men and women to see to it that our children learn how to correct soil erosion rather than how to dissect a frog.” The conference, which opened yesterday, will continue through tomorrow. Mrs. Forest Huttenlocher, Des Moines, associate editor of Better Homes and Gardens, speaking yesterday said women’s organizations are being asked to help arouse public opinion in favor of conservation in the schools. She reported that the National Education Association has accepted information assembled by the National Committee on Conservation Education in the form of teachers’ aids on the subject. Bird life in America and throughout the world faces serious threat in current millinery styles, John H. Baker, New York, executive director of the National Association of Audubon Societies, declared at the luncheon meeting yesterday. He asked delegates to join the Audubon Society in requesting new Federal and state legislation to ban importation of feathers for fishing flies and urged women to force the millinery industry to obtain feathers from domesticated species by refusing to buy hats decorated with imported plumage.
