This often pre sents a problem for- the home owner, both in town and coun try, who wants to have a neat yard lawn and garden. The us ual impulse is to rake up jfche leaves and burn them or to rake them into the street and have the city trucks cart them away. Butras deficient as pur soils, are in organic matter burning leaves is a wasteful procedure, dt is true, of course, that t the leaves must be raked off of the lawn grass—especially newly planted grass—or they will smother the grass. The thing to do is to rake the leaves and make a leaf compost. Pile and rot them so that they can be spread on the garden and inc Qr. porated with the soil or used as a mulch around shrubs—espec ially azaleas. Leaves are diffi cult to rot if they are just raked up into a large pile. The com _ should be built up in layers about a foot deep. Each layer should be thoroughly wet down and a small amount of a fertilizer high in nitrogen sprinkled over the leaves. A com plete fertilizer such as a 6-B_6 or 8-8-8 can be used, or sulphate of ammonia, or nitrate of soda will be satisfactory. Along with the fertilizer, each layer of leaves has been built up to the desired height, it is covered yith a thia layer of soil and allowed to stand for eight to 12 months. During this time it must be kept wet.

An estimated total of 9,000 shooting mishaps will occur this year. About three-fifths of these deaths and injuries Will occur in the field or in public places, while the remaining two-fifths , jvfll happen because of careless, ness with guns in or around the home. ; How many, children wil be involved? Last year the fig ure topped 2,700 killed and in jured, ; j According to the Institute for ' Safer Living of the American /.Mutual Liability Insurance Com pany, parents should be as gun wayy. during the hunting season as battle-shy vets.

Also, a Member of either cham ber may file a petition from an individual asking that Congress act or refrain from action on legislation. Petitions are referred to the appropriate committee for consideration, and are printed in a special section of the Congressional Record.
