PAGE TEN TEE CANADIAZ'l 8TATE~MAN, BOWMAN VILaL~. THURSDAY. JUNE litix, 1931 ROSE REQUIREMENTS 1 Roses require fairly deep cultiva-' tion and heavy fertilizing up until the flrst of July in order to push growth and produce ffowers. After this, bowever, it is advisable to slow down so that the plants may get hardened before the cold weather sets in. To aid in this process, which takes two or three months. it is a good plan to plant a f ew low- growing plants, such as pansies. cal- endulas, violas or dwarf nasturtiums around the roses. which will bright- en up the bed and benefit the bushes by absorbing moisture. At this time, a good quick-actmng fertilizer is ad- vised. After July. however, a slow- acting fertilizer. such as liquid man- ure, or bone meal should be used. CULTIVATION After ail. killing weeds is only one of the benefits which foflows culti- vation in the flower or vegetable garden. The big advantage is the conservation o! moisture, particular- ly in the country where it is us- ually impossible to supply water. A garden cultivated thoroughly every week will go through a month of dry weatber, whereas one whicb only gets enough work to keep the taller weeds down will wither in a few days. 0f course, for the sake of neatness it is well to bave al weeds removed, and we should thin out al unwanted plants also. Tbe removal O! this surplus growth. incidentally, leaves more moisture for those things we want to grow. Frequent cultivation, not too deep. breaks up the surface of the soul. preventing caking and thus almost entirely cut- ting off evaporation by the sun's days. KEEPIING GARDEN TRIM Even annual ffowers will benefit from a littie Judicious trimming or Pruning now and then. Many plants llke the dahlia and zinnia set a great quantity of buds and if al of these are allowed to develop the flowers wili not be very large. Some People make a practice of removing nearly al of these buds so as to have gant blooms. For show pur- Poses, of course, only three or four Per plant are allowed to open. but for average purposes. if we remove a few of the buds only, we will get aIl the size nequired. With the very tall growing dahlias, we should trim the foliage and stems a little in or- der to get the desired shape. Some people trim to a single or main stem, like tomatoes. With the smaller growing annuals such as zinnias. cosmos. and marigolds we want just the opposite effect-bushiness--in order that the plant may be sturdy and resist heavy rains and winds. If when we transplant, or wben the plant is a few weeks old. we remove the top of the main stem and the first buds we will encourage side growtb and get that stocky and sym- metrical plant we wish. Anather thing ta remember at this time is ta remove ail signs of fading bloom. Once the flower is passed its best. pick it. or if the stems are short and the bloom numerous like ayls- sum or phlox. shear it off. Other- wise seed pads will start ta develop and when this stage is reached the plant will stop flowering altogether. EASY WITH THE LAWN As soon as the wveatber turns really hot. do not mow the lawn 50 often as you have been doing and set the machine sa that it will not eut too close ta the graund. More- over. while clippings as a rule sbould always be lef t on the grass to form a mulc'h. it is absolutely essential ,iust naw. A lawn eut toc,0f ten or too short is hiable to be burned out by the sun. At this time, too. it is better in dry weather to give one good soaking every ten days rather than a daily sprinkle.

In some cases, the germ which causes the disease lives, during one part o! its life, ini- 1side the body of the insect, and dur- ing the remainder o! the cycle, in- side the buman body. Yellow Fever and Malaria are spread only by certain kinds of mos- quitoes. Ini these two diseases, the 7organism which causes the disease actually lives both in the body o! the mosquito and in the buman body. Typhus Fever has been known un- der many names, sucb as gaol fever. sbip fever and immigrant fever. it is spread by the body bouse and is now a rare disease, in this country, on account of greater personal cleanliness. Trench Fever, which was not uncommon among the sold- iers during the Great War, us also spread by the body bouse. Remarkable success has been achieved in controlling the insect- borne diseases. in general. this control bas been obtained by the an- nihilation o! the insect responsible secured tbrough the destruction o! its breeding-places. The building a! the Panama Canal was a greater sanitary accomplisbxnent than an engineering feat. In order to build the Canal, it was necessary, first o! ail, to overcome the Yellow Fever and Malaria whlch had, up to that time. made the place uninhabitable.
