Garden Time .
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
Are you getting tired of running
the clutivator and weilding the hoe
in your garden in a losing battle
with weeds and grass? Why not
use a mulch?
It is surprising how few garden
ers make use of mulches as an aid
in the conservation of soil mois
ture and the control of weeds. A
mulch may be any material such
as hay, strawy manure,, leaves,
leafmold, peat, sawdust, pine
straw or heavy paper which can
be put down on the ground plants

for the purpose of conserving mois
ture during the hot, dry summer
weather. At the same time It will
keep down most of the weeds.
Cardboard boxes, flattened out,
have been used with excellent re
sults. Ground com cobs are also
being used.
Many vegetables, flowers, small
fruits and shrubs are good sub
jects for mulching. Dahlias, to
matoes, peppers, eggplants and
cucumbers may be mulched with
straw, leaves, cardboard or heavy
paper. Azaleas, camellias, and
blueberries which desire an acid
soil may bo mulched with saw
dust, leafmold or peat. Red rasp
berries, dewberries and grapes
may be mulched with straw or
strawy manure.
Most mulches should be put
down after the soil has been well
moistened by rain or irrigation.
If fertilizer is necessary it also
should be applied before the mluch
is laid down. However, soluble
fertilizers will work their way
down through porous mulches.
If mulched plants show a yel
lowing of the leaves it usually
means a nitrogen deficiency due to
the decomposition of the mulch in
contact with the soil. This can be
corrected by applying some solub
le fertilizer high in nitrogen.
You will find that in small gar
dens a mulch will help solve many
of your cultural problems.
Pottatoes were the only food in a
ist of 18 commonly used in the
iaily diet which showed less cost
increase than milk during the
period of 1939 to 1955.

Beekeeper Catehes s
Many Questions f
The beekeeper is often asked:
Vhen does the honey flow start?"
)r "when is the right time to put t
n supers?" (
W. A. Stephen, State College ex- t
ension beekeeper, says that by
:eeping records during the last
ew years, he has found that the
he honey flow coincides with the
>looming of the tulip tree or tu
ip poplar ( a woodsman may call
t yelloV' poplar).
Stephens says that one of these
rees in the open may have thou
lands of blossoms, each of which
secretes enough nectar to keep sev
;ral bees busy lappng it up. Se-|
iretion takes place in the early F
stages of bloom and often bees '
may be seen burrowing down into |
t bloom about the time it la be
ginning to open.
So, Stephen advises that when
he tulip trees are buzzing with
>ees searching for nectar, it's time
o bring on the super.
