' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1929 The Garden Beautijul - and - The Garden Bountiful Readers are invited to use cussion of their garden problems. Questions addressed to The Garden Editor, The Oshawa Daily Times will be answered in this column as promptly as possible, This department will appear in The Times twice a week. this department for a dis- NOT TOO LATE TO START As we 'are fortunate in Canada in having a quick growing season, it is not too late to put in a vege- table garden yet. Of course, plant- ings must be hurried in every pos- sible manner and in this connec- tion it is wise to soak the seed over-night before planting, where possible secure plants of tomatoes, celery, cabbage and similar things and use these rather than seed, to cultivate thoroughly and use these some quickly available fer- tilizer like nitrate of soda which, if applied at the rate of a scant handful to every four yards of row, will bring the vegetables along at an amazing rate. There are certain things that money will not buy and one of these is really fresh vegetables. True, the corner fruit store can be depended upon to supply such things as potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes and a few oti- ers which will not deteriorate while being shipped from the farm to the table, and a winter supply of beets carrots and turnips can be pur- chased with reasonable assurance of getting good quality, but one simply cannot buy green peas, corn, lettuce, young carrots, and spinach, and expect the original crispness and flavor which only comes when these are taken out of the garden at the door. Corn and peas will lose their flavor in a few hours, while erisp green beans, which break. off at the slightest touch when just gathered, are not at all the same as those picked on a place miles away and wait a day or two before reaching the ultimate consumer. City people often wonder why vege- tables do not taste the same as those they used to eat in their youth when a generous sized gar- den lay within a few yards of the kitchen door. Yet there is no trouble about a vegetable garden, and even the man with a small backyard can grow a surprising amount. Where space is limited, of course it is better to let the man fortunately situated in the way of ground, supply the potatoes and winter vegetables, but a few rows of radish, cress, parsley, corn, to- matoes, lettuce, spinach, beets, car- rots, peas, Swiss chard and other good things to eat can be easlly grown, A little healthful exercise, a few pounds of fertilizer, a string a cocple of garden tools, and a few packets of seed are all that is required Dig the soil, rake it until it broken up into a fine state of tilth and follow the directions on the seed packet, When the plants come up, thin, cultivate fre- quently, and if a hose is available use this during the dry spells, Re- member that quickly grown vege- tables are tender vegetables, The Lawn When the really hot weather ar- rives, it is advisable to adjust the (1) Miss M.

Barton, M.D. TREATING STOMACH ULCER AT HOME Perhaps you wonder why I talk so often about ulcer of the stomach and of first part of small intestine, The simple reason is that so many individuals are suffering with what they call indigestion, and undergo such misery, who are really suffering with ulcer from which they may of- ten obtain relief. Ulcer of the stomach intestine is just what its name implies--an ulcer of the lining or mucous membrane of these parts, Now: as mentioned before, it is not the food getting into the ulcer that causes the pain, but the strong hy- drochloric acid in the stomach di- gestive juice which at a certain de- finite period after eating gets into the raw ulcer and causes the pain. This pain disappears with the tak- ing of food or some alkali like bak- ing soda. Now even if you have an ulcer it doesn't necessarily mean an operation nor does it mean that you will have to go to the hospital. Drs. J. W, Blackford and J, M, Bowers, Seattle, analyzed some of their cases as to which did best, the cases that were treated in hospital of those that were permitted to be up and around at their homes. They found that where there were no complications that the, results were satisfactory in 60 per cent. of the cases, whether they were treated at home or in hospital. However "hospital" treatment may better train the patient to look after himself, but the results have not been better for the patient. The patient in hospital is in % PAGE NINE. F. J.

Ames Co., who has been elected president of the Investment Bankers' As- sociation, better position to get necessary sur- gical treatment if any emergency arises, On the other hand the patient be- ing treated at home has not the un- familiar surroundings that so affect and often depress hospital patients, However the point is that these ulcers will heal if given proper treat- ment irrespective of whether the treatment is at home or in hospital, So don't suffer with indigestion, Find out what is causing the indi. gestion, and if it should be ulcer, don't get alarmed but follow the treatment faithfully whether in hos- pital or at home. Most ulcers heal if properly treat- ed, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act) DAWN OF DAY Beyond thountains' scarred ramparts an orient ray Through the window of dawn heralds §O MucH BETTER THAT'S what you'll say LJ PEP Bran Frakes redmantled day, Across waters pellucid flame lances of light, The shadows dispersing of fugitive night, ; The trees of the forest are burnished with gold, The dewdrops are sparkling in num- bers untold On flowers in meadows in the bloom of the dawn, Bright jewels of splendor, the gems of the morn, -E, C.

Grass grows more quickly in the cooler weather anyway, so that it will only be necessary during the Sum- mer to trim rather than cut, There should be at least one half inch of grass, if not more, after cutting, and to get that Turkish mat. ap- pearance a full inch is necessary. Leave the grass clipping where they fall, ag these provide a mulch protecting the roots from the burn- ing sun, Pinen Back For Sturdiness Should the flower plants somewhat weak and spindly, the top branches, and perhaps some of the side ones as well, should be pinched back to bring about a more sturdy plant, Cosmos will become too tall, and spindly, a prey to the first strong wind or rain that comes along, unless treated in this manner. Pinching back the heads will not only make a more symmetrical and stronger plant, but will also induce earlier and more vigorous blooms in the case of those flowers like cosmos which are inclined to start flower- ing rather late, With Zinnias, a straggly plant is almost syre to result unless one nips back the man. stem fo encourage side growth. This often sacrifices the first bloom, but the sacrifice is repaid in more flowers later on and a sturdier and larger plant, Summer Squash Now that we are beginning to understand the proper method of preparing squash, it is becoming a more popular vegetable. Dur- ing the recent years, seedsmen have been offering small table squash, which are usually picked when young while they are the size of a cocoanut, cut in half, cooked, and eaten from the half shell. These, and other squash, pumpkins, vegetable mar- row, melons, and cucumbers can be planted mow as they are all hot weather plants, Sow in well-man- ured light soil and give them a very open position, Watch For the Cucumber Beetle One of the earliest of garden crop enemies is the striped cucum- ber beetle, a small insect 1-4 of an inch in length which feeds on such plants as cucumbers, squash, be New Martin NOW i at "Yellow Back" A Northwood's Story SPECIAL COMEDY 2nd Episode of The "FINAL RECKONING" scuits hone, always ask for Christies Biscuits nice~ask for IWATER ICE WAFERS pumpkins,, melons, etc. It is yellow in color, with a black head and three longtitudinal black stripes down the back. The bettles attack the plants shortly after they break through the soil. They feed on (he unfolding leaves which are ofteu completely destroyed with the re- sult that the tiny plants die quickly. These insects have already been seen in this district and growers with large patches of any of these plants would be well advised to watch them closely for the first appearance of the cucumber beetle. If any appreiable damage is being done control measures shauld be taken at once, An effective treatment {is the dusting of the plants with a mix- ture of calcium arsenate and Ryp- sum (land plaster) using 1 part of the former to 20 part (by weight) of the latter. The young plants should be thoroughly covered, both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves as the insects feed In both situations, Hydrated lime can be substituted for gypsum but tends to dwarf the plants and temporar- ily stunt their growth, To be successful dusting should be commenced at the first appear- ance of the beetles as they work very fast and such damage is often done before the grower, who is not on the look out for them, is aware of their presence. Three or four ap- plications a few days apart, depen- ding on the severity of the attack, are usually sufficient to hold the beetles in check.
