urgent since evergreens are sub
ject to, drying out by hard win
try winds during the winter
months. "•
For the first few years after
planting put at least four inches
of a good mulch, such as well
rooted hardwood sawdust, oak
leaves, or peat moss, around the
base of the plants. Do not allow*
mulch to come into direct cop
tact with the crown of any plant.
t * * *
If evergreens were planted last
fall, remove the mulch in early
spring to let the,, sun warm the
soil. Later part of the mulch
may be replaced. Do not culti
vate around the base of ever
greens that are over three feet
tall because the root systems of
these evergreens are very close
to the* surface.
All broad-leaved ' evergreens, i
such as mountain laurel, rhodo-i
dendron, and andromeda, must
have protection against the full;
rays of the wintry sun ' and
winds. -Evergreen boughs, corn
stalks, a burlap shield, or lath
screening may be used for pro
tection. '
What’s In .
Fashion Now?
Massive is the key word for
fine jewelry commg_ up soon.
Dimensions m jewelry will echo
the prevailing trend in women’s
clothes. To underscore the shm
but sheath silhouettes
women will probably want to
wear an eyecatching piece of
jewelry
The straight, hlghwaisted line
is new. New draping interest
will be found at the top of dres
ses either in sleeves, sleeve
mountings and bustkne, and
neckline. One outstanding French
designer, Jias put much empha
sis on the Carace, the short top
that is cut off at the waist and
is sleeveless.

In Lancaster County, the rural pastor holds a very im
portant position in linking the church and farm. At the-fe
cent Father-Son Banquet sponsored by Mt. Hope Methodist
Church, 'down iq the Southern End, these three were out
standing on the guest list. At the left is Ernest R. Pyle,
(farmer near Union Presbyterian Church, father of seven
Isons and one daughter; in the center, the Rev, Delmar
iProbst, pastor of Mt. Hope, and on the right, the Rev.
Rufus P. Bucher, well known pastor of the Mechanics
Grove Church of the Brethren, father of five sons and a
farmer in his own right. (Lancaster Farming Staff Photo).
Many new spring coats
will be split up the back or
sides to the shoulderblades
or just below the arm open
ing. In expensive fabrics and
lush furs tlie coats that re
semble long-scarves with
sleeves don’t look as if they
could warm up anybody, -
least of all the person inside
them..
Another new favorite with the
women who must have the latest
is the “slip pf a dress,” that is
willowy, bias- cut, and sleeveless
and worn with the baby jacket
You need an almost perfect fig
ure to look nice in this number -
A new silhouette which eases
up the stark look of the slim
dress is the winged dress with
movement built in, in semi-at
tached panels and deep, inverted
pleats set at the sides under the
armholes. '
' Short-sleeved and sleeveless
wool coats with dresses to "match
are fashionable. Those are going
over well just now in south
Florida. Other sections will be
seeing'quite a lot of them for
late sprang and early summer.
Detergent Fruit
Aids Toothbrush
Dentists tell us that it is not
enough to make the children
brush their teeth. We must in
clude in their diet, and ours too,
some detergent food at the end
of each meal. The best detergent
food seems to be citrus fruit and
raw vegetables.
There is evidence that deter
gent fruits are more effective
mouth cleansers than tooth
brushes. Chewung apples can
eliminate 97.7 per cent of mouth
bacteria, while sliced orange and
paraffin tied for second with 95
per cent ratings. Three minutes
of tooth brushing, plus a mouth
rinsing, was a poor seventh.
d A
Studies have shown that
citrus fruit juices are more
effective than any dentifrices
in -keeping the mouth bac
teria count low.
The'reslation for sugars to tooth
decay is well established. Sweets,
such as candy and cake, tend to
stick to the teeth, especially
eaten between meals when there
are not other foods to help brush
off the adhering particles.
Each - time you eat a sweet,
your, teeth suffer an attack of
acids. To halt decay, cut out the
sweets This is not easy to- do
with young ones but, if you will
include plenty of natural sweets,
such as oranges, apples and
bananas, the children will not
crave a candy "bar or chewing
gum.
Don’t start your baby eating
candy, until he discovers it frfr
himself. Accustom your children
to ending every meal with a de
tergent fruit.
