L' THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, SPRINGFIELD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1937 r- 1r Plan Autumn Bulb Plantings Soon SPRING BULBS WANT ORDERING FOR EARLY FALL Narcissus and Hyacinths Atre Planted in Late Tulips Are Held Until Frost By Arnold M. Davis Most gardeners are aware of the charm which a bed of tulips a and any garden flowering, spring of the other spring bulbs adds, to year. The bulbs for plantings: of this type should be ordered early (because the early orders are' Alled with large size bulbs. Furthermore, the varieties which you may be interested in are pretty certain to be whereas, if you wait until the end of the season, you have to take varieties of bulbs which 'were not originally destred. Certain types of bulbs are quite certain to be sold out each year.
For example, it is, ditfcult to get the Snowdrop Squill runless orders are put in early. Then it Is desirable to get of narcissus and byacinths planted early in the season, even the mildle part of This gives the tailbs ample opportunity to develop a large, normal root which will, do much to the quality of the bloom another season. When ordering bulbs bear the uses which you are goin! make of Decide on how thuch garden arca you expect to devote to bulbs, and then order bulbs with the idca of creating a definite picture. For example, there are two ways of using particularly tulips formal way and the informal way. If you had a garden which was laid out geometrically, perhaps with a square bed in the center and four L-shaped beds on each of the four corners of the square bed, perhaps the formal method would given the best results.
In central bey you might place a goodly group of Pride tulips Harlem which tulips. bloom These at the are darwin tho season and are rather large and very showy. Around that group you could plant a double border of tulips, Avis Kennicott perhaps, which would give you very' striking effects at the time they are in bloom. Now since you would wish R. to have interest over long perlod as possible put some.
Aarly flowering tulips, the cottage flowering tulips, the darwin tulips, breeder tulips, into the other beds, perhapst. in sections or perhaps in borders "which run around the beds. Do not jumble them in, but keep them straight according to color. It this is 4 done, the planting effect will not only give you a full season of bloom but a very satisfactory appearance. Instead of suggesting variety names which can be grown, it seems me that It would be well for the gardener to procure a copy of a catalog and select varieties of the type which he particularly likes.
In this way? he is quite certain of getting garden effects which are going to aprieal to him. In the case of the other bulb.J, such 83 narcissus, you might naturalize them, working them into the foundation plantings. Work them' in the outer edge of the foundation plantings 80 that they can come up and, bloom and give a very sittisfactory showing.

These advances have naturally been reflected in sweet corn breeding also. Two outstanding needs have dominated breeding work. First, the canning industry requires stocks that are as uniform as possible in every way, besides having high yield. Second, the fact that sweet corn cannot be grown in the South, largely because of the ravages of the corn earworm and of bacterial wilt, makes it highly desirable to develop resistant varieties.
Revolutionizes Canning: Breeders have met the first need so effectively with the newer types of hybrid corn that the canning industry itself has been revolutionized by the uniformity in texture and consistency of grains and the uniformity of tipening in the field. "Whole grain" canned corn, "frozen packs." and new machinery have been made possible work of breeders. About 80 per cent of the yellow sweet corn grown for canning now consists of the newer hybrids, and about half of this is golden cross bantam, a product of the United States Department of Agriculture in co-operation with Indiana's Purdue University station. Other States that have led in recent breeding work have been Maine, Illinois, Connecticut and Minnesota. Not the least of the advantages of golden cross bantam corn is its resistance to bacterial wilt.
Promising work is in progress to meet. the second major need-extension of the sweet corn region southward--by hybridizing sweet corn with the naturally ear-worm resistant dent field corns of the South. The factors that make this dent corn resistant to the ear-worm have not yet been satisfactorily determined, but varieties developed from sweet -dent hybrids like honey June and surecropper sugar have more resistance than any other sweet corn. Leaders in this work have been the stations in Texas, Florida, Georgia and California. Truck and home gardeners South are keenly Interested in these efforts.
The characteristic kernel composition of sweet corn, which distinguishes a it The give from form presence field of the corn, of gene this depends for recessive on a starchiness. reces- prevents the conversion of some of the sugar into starch. A good deal of work has been done on inheritance in sweet corn. Popcorn pops because the horny endosperm in which the starch grains are embedded confines the steam generated by heat until it develops sufficlent force to explode the kernel, and the differences can be easily measPopcorns a differ in popping expansion, ured. They also differ in tenderness and flavor of the popped kernels, proby trim borders of perennials, the gleaming features at other terminal points, shrubs, symmetrical arrangement.
Even in a amall inexpensively. This is a purely formal I ductiveness, and resistance to diseases and Insects. Fortunately high poppability and tenderness secm to go together, but unfortunately high poppability and productiveness do not, So that in breeding a compromise is necessary between these two characteristics. Popcorn Breeding Limited Breeding work with popcorn has been relatively limited, but it has produced some promising results. Mass selection, based on actual popping the amount of soft white starch in tests a or on 8 roungh comparison OR of kernels (the more starch, the less popping expansion) is useful in bringing about a gradual improvement in popping expansion, at least up to a certain point.
The Improvement in a sixyear experiment by the Federal Department in co-operation with the Kansas station was about 36 per cent, and the improved strain has been distributed supergold. Hybridization of Inbred lines has been carried on by several stations. At the Minnesota station, 250 lines of a selection of jap hulless were developed by inbreeding, then culled to seven lines by selection, and all possible crosses were made among the lines. One cross was selected as superior; the hybrid, named minhybrid has had a 16 per cent higher yield and a 29 per cent higher popping expansion than" the jap hulless used for comparison. continuation of this project with new inbred lines is now in station, a promising threeway hybrid progress pure Minnesota.
At the Iowa is now under test, and a group of inbreds is in the developmental stage. In co-operative project between the Department and the station, 81 hybrids have been produced recently, of which about one fourth show some Improvement. in popping expansion, and almost 90 per cent show a marked improvement in yield. The Michigan station is now carrying on an Interesting experiment in producing synthetic varleties by combinIng A fairly large number of inbred lines. Injury caused by aiseases and Insects is a distinct drawback in commercial popcorn.
In the case of some diseases, selection for commercial tends also to bring about some selection for resistance. In the Southern States particularly, damage from corn ear-worm and from storage Insects is serious. The Texas station has a project under way in which an attempt is being made to introduce the insect resistance of their adapted neld corn varieties into popcorn of good popping quality. What do you recommend for a fertilizer for dogwood? These plants have been in the ground for three years, but have grown very little. What kind of 8 trap do you recommend for moles? My yellow lady's slippers come up each year but the leaves are badly eaten.
What would you suggest to encourage the plants to bloom and to discourage Insect pests? J. B. A complete garden fertilizer and an application of peat moss should stimulate your dogwood to grow. One of the traps which stands over the runs with spears pro that run down into the ground probably the most practical trap that you could get for moles. A rotenone spray applied at 10-day intervals from the time lady's slippers first show up until the plant develops and makes its normal growth will control ravages of insects.
A small amount of compost of leaf mold worked around the plants is the best form of food which you can give it. Hurry! Hurry!

The victim, Mrs. Florence Jackson. 37, of Jackson Heights, mother of two children, was "found dead in a car driven by Martin when the alleged slayer stopped a radio police car and asked for medical aid for Mrs. Jackson. She had been garroted, police said, with a belt from her dress.
Patrolmen Carmody, Thomas driving Kelly the radio and Dent, said Martin told them he met Mrs. Jackson on in a restaurant last night and accompanied him to. several night clubs. "After we had driven around for a while," the officers quoted Martin as saying, "We discussed the futility of our love. We were both married and it looked hopeless.
She said, "What's the use of living--why not kill me?" complied with her request, according to police, because he "didn't want to disappoint her." He also planned to take his own: life and started to write a note explaining the tragedy when he became frightened. Macon (Ga.)
