GARDEN NOTE8 Ah dormant spray burnt* young shoots ami tender loaf Inula it should bo loft off at this season. All prunIngs should l>o burned since they may have Insect okkh or disease spores All egg oases fastened on twigs of evergreen trdea or shrubs should be removed at this time in order to eliminate* the hundreds of Harden pests whilst hatch in the summer. 'Mulch which has accumulated around shrubs and pcreuniuls should he worked in rather than removed, for leaves Is nature's protection for plant roots during the dry months and natures way of supplying food. Plants feed on nitrogen, phos-j piiorus, and potash. Nitrogen con* i tributes to the development of leaf and stem tissue and is a necessary plant food element. Practically all organic manures contain nitrogen, and tt may ho found also in nitrate of soda, and ammonium sulphate. Plants also, absorb nitrogen from soil which has just grown legume crops such as peas, alfalfa, and vetch. Leafy plants requlro more nitrogen than any other kind. Since phosphorous promotes blooming it is essential to all fruit and (lowering plants. 'Phe only source of phosphates in the organic group is found in hones hence the value of I bone-meal. Acid phosphate Is made from natural phosphalic rock, ground and treated with sulphuric acid. It is more soluble and more valuable than honemcal. Phosphorous applied to tlte soil Is not quickly lost as Is nitrogen, so it can he added to the sol! In winter and will continue to feed plants for months to come. Potash is tho third essential plant food, and is necessary to healthy plant growth. It helps to strengthen stems and leaves and is line for root crops such as potatoes, beets, and onions. The oldest and one of the best sources of potash Is wood ashes. Any vegetable matter produces potash when burned. Potash Is also fine for madonna lillles and delphinium. Itonemeal and wood ashes In equal parts is a tine mixture to produce blooming.'and should be scattered around perennials at tills time to give them a good send-off. Since commercial fertilizers help the plants to uso the natural soil food more rapidly than they otherwise would humus should be used along with them as a soil builder. Fertilizer should not be usod too heavily at this season?little and often is a good rule in feeding plants. ?Elizabeth Bauin, Camden (iarrien Club Publicity. ?... t DIES SEES WAR 800N Texas Congre##m*n Predict# We Will Be In Befor#!July " Macon.
