How It's Done

Technically, here’s how. it's done, Iron deficiency and too alkaline soil yielded to spray plus trench feeding. The trench, about 30 inches out from the trunk, 6 inches wide, 6 inches deep, was filled with ferrous sulfate and powdered sulfur, half and half—watered in, covered with soil. Pin oaks are the most temperamental of the oak family in their demand for soil to their liking. Mr. Deery is rejoicing over the trees’ recovery. As cemetery superintendent, he’s planted many trees. “It's no trouble to sell the lot under a tree,” he says. “People want to be sheltered.” # = GOOD NEWS—Aphids really meet th@ir match when their old enemy nicotine connects up with some new chemicals, derivatives of polyethyleneglycol (just say it fast).

Of course, we eat cauliflower and broccoli (both flowers) with never a second thought. And Italian cooks stuff the first (false) blossoms of the squash, just as we American cooks stuff green peppers. Then if you like watercress but haven't a brook handy to the back dopr in a normal season, youll find nasturtium leaves an excellent substitute in salads or sandwiches. And nasturtium seeds go nicely in pickles. EJ = u AFRICAN VIOLET fans had themselves a large time at their recent national convocation in Dayton.

A few helpful hints for us average houseplanters are these reported by Mrs. G. N. Snyder of Mooresville. Use Hyponex every six to eight weeks if you wish, but go easy on fertilizer from November to February when the plants can’t use so much. ,

Lumpy soil containing pieces of bark, sticks, etc., gives best results. Soil sterilization is the answer to fungus diseases. 180 degrees for at least an hour. Vermiculite may cause waterlogged soil. Leaf mold is safer, One grower is working to develop a double pink saintpaulia. Cyclamen mite is the violet’s worst pest. Parathion is about the best remedy. 2

By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. A CORRESPONDENT who seems much confused about dropsy writes: “Since last summer my feet and ankles have been swollen. “One doctor told me it was a dropsical condition. Should I drink a lot of water? Have heard that it is bad for dropsy as the blood turns to water anyway. Don’t the kidneys need additional flushing in kidney ailments?” It is practically impossible to answer all these questions without writing a book. However, perhaps some of the correspondent’s confusion can be cleared by a few words on what dropsy is and what it signifies. Essentially dropsy, or edema as it is known in medical circles is the accumulation in the tissues of fluids which would ordinarily be eliminated through the urine.

Fluid Collects

THERE ARE two main reasons for dropsy. One is the failure of the heart and circulation to pump the blood fast enough through the kidneys so that these organs filter out and eliminate the fluids which should be cast off. The fluid therefore accumulates in the body and generally goes to those parts which have the poorest circulation such as the feet and legs. This kind of edema is treated by trying to improve the action of the heart and circulation, raising the legs so that the circulation will not have to work so hard against gravity, and

Dr. Jordan

ter since this will mean merely that more fluid than ever is kept in the body. The treatment of dropsy of kidney origin is really complicated and may in--volve restriction of salt, special diet, and other things. Dropsy therefore is not a dis‘ease by itself but rather the reflection of some underlying disorder which is likely to be serious. The woman who wrote in about it (as well as any others who develop edema) should place herself in the hands of her -doctor and obey implicitly whatever directions he finds necessary to give her.

Your Yard—

Two Unusual Plants

In the park itself, two unusual

plants are on parade now.

One is the blackberry lily which

is really an iris. (Note its fan of iris leaves.) To complete the confusion, this odd “lily” bears seeds that look exactly like blackberries. Easiest of several specimens to find is the one just northwest of the house where the road turns.

Then the silk trees (mimosa,

acacia) are in bloom. Visitors driving in by the south entrance will easily find the tree on the right side of the road about half way into the park. *

Its eye catching pink and cream

flowers and graceful divided leaves make it very decorative.
