Recessing for summer months the next meeting will be held in September. . - ' Several valuable suggestions were made concerning planting of shrubbery around the post office. The plans for this will be perfected through tho regular channels. 1 Garden Hints For June Now is a good time to start a compost heap, using all leaves and grass clippings. Put down a layer of soil, next the grass and leaves, then a layer of manure, repeat this process, scattering in a handful of lime or wood ashes on the leaves to make the decomposition quicker, and keep the pile flat on torp, so the water will settle on it and not run off. Sickly plants may be starving. Try giving them doses of manure. Water every two or three weeks. Cut flowers liberally and you will have more blooms and be sure to snip off the dead ones. Cut suckers off of fruit trees and roses. If you are successful at making cuttings, this is the month to start shrub cuttings. Do not negleH to stake tall growing plants lest you return to your garden in September and find chrysanthemums, yellow cosmos and dahlias sprawling on the ground. If the leaves of perennial phlox become spotted with mildew, use lime sulphur every ten days. In dry spells set the hose in the garden and let the water run gently | for an hour or so in one place. This is much better than sprinkling. Aphis is a sucking insect. Spray with black leaf 40. or dust with tobacco dust three days in succession, wetting the plant first with the hose. For mildew dust with sulphur. For red spider spray hard with hose and dust with sulphur. For black spot?fungus disease U3e Bordeaux mixture, or 9-1-1. One part of arsenate of lead, 1 part tobacco dust, 9 parts finest powdered sulphur. Apply every ten days.^ For snails dust with arsenate of lead. For cut worms one cup of bran, 1 tablespoon arsenate of lead. Scatter around plants. Also use crushed moth balls. ''Preparedness" The above will be the theme of Dr. Wimberly's address before the Men's Bible Class next Sunday morning. The address on "Seven Daylight Thieves" was greatly enjoyed by the class last Sunday. A committee was appointed to get behind the absent members and it is hoped that a full attendance will be present next Sunday. The average attendance is keeping up around fifty, but we want the absent twenty-five to be with us next Sunday. This is one of the live, up-to-the-minute subjects for nert Sunday. You should hear it.?Jack Moore, Secretary.
