Everyone knows that a child’s enthusiasms are often short-lived, but the mother who wrote the fol lowing letter is concerned over the fact that her children never fin ish anything. She writes: “Almost every week some new project is started at our house. Dad is nat urally a little over-generous, so he doesn’t ask many questions when Don wants a Quarter for .wire or tin for an airplane, and Mirian wants money for knitting needles, although just last week the extra 50 cents was for beads with which jto embroider a headband. Unfor- [ tunately, these ambitious plans 1 rarely get beyond the spending and planning stage. How can I teach my children to finish what they begin?” Like many virtues which we used to value without analyzing them, this matter of sticking to each project until it is finished is open to question. Some things we start aren’t worth finishing. Perhaps we find we have no knack for them at all. So begin the study of this problem, if you have en countered it in your children, by admitting that many things are | worth trying just for the varied experience they offer, but that they may not all be worth fin ishing if, with the best will in the world, the child’s performance of them is bound to be extremely poor. However, I am not minimizing the importance of seeing a job through to the end. To begin with, it may be one in which skill 1 is required, and so if .the c£Ud gives up at the first sign of dis couragement he may never dis cover whether or not he has ^ v gift for it. Besides, there is joy and satisfaction in viewing fin ished things—a row of jars of canned fruit will give most women ., a genuine glow of satisfaction. A doll dress with the hem and both sleeves nearly finished is some thing for a little girl to be proud of. One completed model plan'' of simple design is better than a half dozen elaborate ones left un finished when the work becomes too intricate. So encourage your children to finish their, scrap books and rab bit pens and private caves, to tend their Victory gardens until frost. But don’t go to the extreme of insisting that the bug collection started one summer on the farm become a major hobby after you- boy has returned to school in the city. What are boys’ pockets for if not for string and nails and marbles, knive and even sealing wax, though perhaps “cabbages and kings” would be a bit un- weildy! Anyway, they were cer tainly meant for a “number of . things”! Finally, the most effective teaching is to set the"* family a good example by finishing youv own tasks, one at a time. -.We aT/ know women who tear up tb" > whd* house in a perfect ttansy when they should know frfim eor- perience that they’ll finish only * half the jobs thejr’ve begun. Shalil Peach Stocks Nematode-Resistant WRITE A WANT CASH IN ON STUFF IN THE ATTIC Clemson, Aug. 9.—Young Hale- Jiaven peach trees on Shalil root stocks appear to be proving nema tode-resistant in tests made by Assistant Horticulturist L. E'. Scott, of the Sandhill Experi ment Station. Such rootstocks will eliminate a serious drawback to peach growing in the light sandy soils of the Southeast. The Shalil rootstock has proven nematode-resistant in tests at Fort Valley, Georgia, also. In the Georgia tests, Hiley trees budded on Shalil rootstocks were de cidedly more vigorous than those budded on “natural” seedlings. Some commercial nurseries have propagated standard varieties on Shalil seedlings, and this stock is now being offered for sale to the public. The experiments at the Sandhill Station used one-year-old Hale- haven trees budded on Shalil and Carolina “natural” rootstocks. The young trees were put on land from which badly nematode-in fested Elberta peach trees had been removed. At the time of planting the trees on “natural” rootstocks were more uniform in size and | shape than were the trees on, Shalil rootstocks. Both lots of trees made good growth after be ing planted in the spring. By midsummer there was little ap parent difference in the lots. Fol- owing a drought in August, the trees on “natural” rootstocks be gan to turn yellow and lose their eaves. The trees on Shalil root- ' stocks remained green and in ine condition. Eighty-two of 140 trees on ‘natural” stocks died during the first two years in the orchard, while only five of the trees on Shalil roots died. Of the five Shalil trees, one did not begin to grow following planting, and two were broken off by wind follow ing borer injury. Nematode galls were found on the roots of all the dead trees on “natural” rootstocks and on all that remained alive in Au gust of the second growing sea son. Nematode galls were found on one of the Shalil trees that died, but none was found on 50 living Shalil trees that were ex amined.
