Experimental work at the U.

paints that have been prepared
and tested, the most satisfactory
ones have been linseed oil paints
containing finely ground borax.

Although these paints will not

I wonder if you are familiar

intendent of Documents, Wash
ington, D. C. for a list of the pub
lications of the Children’s Bureau
which will be sent you free. In
It you will find listed pamphlets
dealing with almost every prob
lem arising in the raising of chil
dren. These pamphlets cost 5c
or 10c each. Parents have par
ticularly praised the pamphlets
entitled “Are You Training Your
Child to be Happy?” "The Child
From One to Six,’’ and “Guiding
the Adolescent.” And there are
hundreds of other good ones.
You should also get the list
of publications of the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene,
50 West 50 th Street, New York
City. In it you will find listed
many useful pamphlets some of
which are free. I would like es
pecially to mention “Some Unde

OT^ft#*orcltard,” Nlswonger said,
''especittUy tbat part over the
root arte."
It has been estimated, he stat
ed, that the toss of water from
ibearlng trees of an acre of orch
ard amounts to 20 ‘barrels dally
from Jane to September. This
can be attrttinted to leaf surface
where moistare Is lost and to the
developing fruit, which, when ma
tured, contains about 86 per cent
moisture.
"Cultivating the ground as ear
ly as possible and continuing
such cultivation until late in the
summer will aid In the conserva
tion of moisture and make more
available the nitrogen supply,”
the horticulturist declared.
"When the orchard Is located on
land subject to severe soil eros
ion. It Is advisable to cultivate
every other middle and reverse
the practice the nex* year.
"Many orchards are located on
sites where cultivation can not
be practiced. In this case, all
weeds and grass growth should
be cut frequently and left to re
main over the tree root area. If
left to grow and form seeds,
these crops ro'b the fruit trees of
moisture and nitrogen.”
Niswonger also recommended
that each tree be fertilized with
mineral nitrates about a month
after the fruit has set, since next
year’s crop depends upon the a-
mount of new growth made dur
ing the current season, and this,
in turn, depends upon the nitro
gen and moisture supply.
