Consideration Os Future Growth Should Rule Foundation Planting John H. Harris Also Urges Use Os aVried Types, Lav and High, To Produce Pleasing Effects of Propor tion. Raleigh, Jan., 24—Visualize the foundation planting of shrubs and flowers around your house five or ten years from now and you will use fewer plants, and set them further from the house, says John H. Harris, landscape specia list of the State College Extension service. Most people overplant a round the foundation of their homes. Leave open spaces be tween groups so that the founda tion will show; if the foundation is undesirable to be seen, use vines to correct this situation, he advised. Harris recommends that plants be placed on either side of the entrances, at corners of the house, between windows, and grouped to break a long straight line or relieve the blankness of an un interesting wall. “Low flowers and vines can often be used to an advantage among the foundation plantings. Such plants as peri winkle, low phlox, verbena, ivy, and low-growing shrubs add col or and interest to the planting,” the specialist stated. “Avoid the monotenous plant ing of shrubs all of the same height and size.” Use some tall growing, some low-growing, some upright, and some prostrate plants to have a pleasing effect,” he continued. Some of the more important ' reasons for beautifying the home " * grounds with shrubs and flowers are listed, by Harris as follows; To create a picture by uniting the separate elements, such as walks, drives, house, and lawn into a pleasing and harmonious whole; to give inframent, shade and background for the buildings; to jfl Rbh.

Left alone, most areaways ulti mately turn into little more than trash pits. Sometimes iron grills are plac ed around areaways to protect small children from falling into the holes and also to keep out leaves and trash. Some home owners have found solutions to the areaway prob lm by employing- them for such novel uses as hot beds for start ing seeds. Living Room - Dining Room The trend toward living room and dining room has increased greatly in popularity in the past few years, especially in smaller homes where space-saving re quirements must be regarded closely. Owners of small homes which contain adjoining living and din rooms, both of insufficient size, may find combining the two de sirable. Reasons advanced by architects and builders for the trend away from separate dining rooms are that as such they are used only three or four hours a day while living room is in particular the living room is in practically constant use. Another point is the fact that living room and dining room are seldom ( if ever, used simultaneously. r Safeguarded constantly by scientific tests, Coca-Cola is famous for its purity and wholesomeness.

Building And Loan Records Increase During Last Month Williamston, Jan. 25 The sl,- 822,000 in loans made by the building, saving and loan asso ciation of North Carolina during December, exceeding those of No vember by $500,000, according to Wheeler Martin of Williamston, president of the North Carolina Building and Loan league.

More people also purchased hom es through these home financing institutions during December when 217 of this type of loan were made aggregating $324,000 In addition, 128 loans were refin anced, amounting to $296,000 on the monthly amortization plan of the building, savings and loan as sociation, and the balance of 325, to the amount of $383,000 were for repairs, reconditioning and other miscellaneous purposes, ac cording to Martin. o Sprays Control Berry Diseases Raleigh, Jan. 25.—The grower who produces the best yields and highest quality of strawberries on a given acreage is the one who controls diseases such as scorch and leafspot, says Dr. Luther Shaw, Extension plant pa thologist of State College. Spray treatments will control these di seases and increase the profits from the berry crop, he stated. Dr. Shaw recommeds either the 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture or the Cuprocide “54Y” spray for the control of strawberry leaf spot and scorch. The first appli cation should be made as soon as the new leaf growth has started in late February or early March. Application should be repeated at 10-day intervals until a few days before the picking season begins. The 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture is composed of four pounds of copper sulphate (blue stone) and four pounds of chemically hydra ted lime to 50 gallons of water. From five to 10 gallons of spray will be required for each appli cation on one-tenth of an acre of strawberries, depending on the type of sprayer used. A small three-to-five gallon compressed air knapsack or other hand-opera ted sprayer is recommended for small areas, using either the Bor deaux or Cuprocide sprays. Cuprocide is a commercial pre paration, and is used at the rate of 2V2 ounces of the chemical to five gallons of water. From five to 10 gallons per one-tenth acre is also required for each appli cation of this spray. o Mt. Mitchell Road To Be Improved Raleigh, Jan. 24 The road up Mount Mitchell and into Mount Mitchell State Park will be im proved this spring by the State Highway and Public Works com mission so the Civilian Conserva tion Corps trucks will have no difficulty in getting to and from the CCC camps within the park. Announcement to this effect was made by Vice Chairman J. Q. Gilkey of the Board of Conserva tion and Development after con ferring with state highway offic ials. As a result, a full size CCC camp of about 250 men is expect ed to be located in Mount Mit chell State Park this spring to continue development work with in the park. Stamp To Honor Doctor Who Was First User of Ether Washington, D. C., Jan. 24 The picture of Dr. Crawford Williamson Long, a village doc tor from Georgia, will appear on the face of a 2-cent postage stamp soon to be issued by the U. S. Post Office Department. Dr. Long is credited as the first doctor to use ether as an anaesthetic. The question of the first man to successfully use ether for an operation has long been disputed, and in the fifties, four doctors claimed to have pioneered in this field. Congress never was able to satisfactorily straighten out the various claims. The Post Office Department research authorities, however, are satisfied that the honor belongs to Doctor Long. Doctor Long conceived the idea of using ether as a pain-killer af ter attending a numter of “ether frolics” which were popular a bout 1840. He noticed that per sons could not feel bumps—even severe ones—after inhaling a small amount of ether. His first successful operation using ether ?
