Garden Question r Corner
editor's note E. r. Murphy, elvio gardener, will answer all questions about your garden in The Palladium; write to him.
E. F. Murphy, Civic Gardner, Care of Palladium: I have been unable to secure a bluegrass sod In my yard. When I sow the seed, weeds come up instead of bluegrass. How can I get a good stand of bluegrass in my yard? S. L. L. Answer: Kentucky bluegrass seed Is low In vitality; and on an average, only fifty per cent Is germlnable. This makes it necessary to sow a very large amount, of seed, forty to fifty pounds per acre or about 1M pounds to a lawn 20 by 60 feet It would be a good plan to add a little white clover seed to the Kentucky bluegrass see'd. Add about 14 ounces of white clover seed to the 1 pounds of bluegrass seed for the lawn 20 by 60 feet. . Kentucky bluegrass seed often contains such weed seeds as shepherd's ptrse, chlckweed, pepper grass and sorrel, and It might be that not enough seed was sown, and some of these weeds came and "took" the bluegrass. Good results may be obtained by seeding Kentucky bluegrass in the fall as the seed of this grass germinates best when the temperature for a portion of the 24 hours drops below forty degrees Fahr. The weather has been rather cool, and failure to secure a good stand was probably due to not sowing enough seed and weed seeds being present In the seed. Mr. Murpnyi , What Is the remedy for cabbage worms? K. N. Answer: Before cabbage beads are large, use lime and Paris green equal parts dry. After the cabbage heads are large, there is danger of the poison, use white hellebore full strength dry or one ounce to three gallons of water. BRAZIL TO BUY WAR MATERIALS

HIGH HEELED SHOES PUT CORNS ON TOES Tills women how to dry up a corn 0 It lifts out without pain. Modern high-heeled footwear bttck!es the toes and produces corns, and many of the thousands of hospital cases of infection and lockjaw are the result of woman's suicidal habit of trying to cut away these painful peats. For little cost there can be obtained at any pharmacy a quarter Of an ounce of a drug called freezone, which is sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus, without the slightest danger or inconvenience. A few drops applied directly upon the tender, aching corn stops the soreness and shortly the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out. It is a sticky substance, which dries the moment It Is applied, and thousands of men and women use it because the corn shrivels up and comes out without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Cut this out and try it if your corns bother you.
