FARM AND GARDEN NOTES
MONTHLY MEETING OF THE BELLE-
FONTE GARDEN CLUB.
—The May meeting of the Belle-
fonte Garden Ciub was neld, on Wed-
nesday afternoon of last week, at the
home of the president, Mrs. Gregg
Curtin, on east Linn Street. Despite
the fact that rain fell continuously
thirty members were present,
Mrs. James C. Furst, chairman of |
the Program committee, reported
that the complete program for the
year has not yet been completed, but
that a special meeting has been
scheduled to be held in the Presby-
terian chapel this (Friday) evening,
at 8 o'clock, when John R. Bracken,
landscape architect of State College,
will give an illustrated talk on gar-
den planting.
Mrs. John Curtin, chairman of the
Membership committee, reported that
the outlook is very encouraging for
an increase in membership, as a
number of women have expressed a
desire to join the club.
Mrs. H. C. Yeager, chairman of the
Publicity committee, reported that
notices of the April meeting and also
the special meeting to be held this
evening had been published in the
newspapers.
Mrs. Curtin stated that she had re-
ceived from the State library, at
Harrisburg, free books which can be
loaned to members for a period of
one week, Mrs. Robert Mills Beach
gave a brief review of some of the
books, namely:
“Woman's Hardy Garden,” by Mrs, Ely.
“¥From a New Garden,” by Mrs. Fran-
cis King.
“American Plants for
dens,” Elsa Rehman.
“Roses,” by Rockwell.
“Flower Gardening,”
Adams.
“Hardy Plants for Cottage Gardens,” |
by H. R. Albee.
“How to Make a Vegetable Garden,” by
Edith Loring Fullerton.
Miss Elizabeth Gephart was ap-
pointed custodian of books and pam-
phlets and members wishing same can
get them from her at any time. |
Miss Margaret Cook gave an in-|
teresting talk on the three hardy |
perennials which she considered the |
most satisfactory in the flower gar-
den, the Iceland poppy, columbine
and galladoria. She illustrated the
first two with specimens from her
own garden. These perennials are
found growing in Colorada at an al-
titude of 9000 feet. They were cover-
ed with choice blooms but not so
many as in the longer season here.
She expressed the thought they might |
be flora survivors of the ice age. |
The president of the club announc-
ed an exhibit of garden tools through
the courtesy of a local hardware
dealer, and also announced that the
Floral committee—Mrs. George A.
Beezer and Mrs. J. J. Kilpatrick, had |
awarded ribbons for the floral exhib- |
it, as follows: First, unusual arrange- |
ment, Mrs, M. Ward Fleming; sec-|
ond, tulips, Mrs. Nelson E. Robb; |
third, tulips, Mrs. W. J. Emerick.
The June meeting of the club will
be held at the home of Mrs. George |
A. Beezer, on east Curtin street, at
which time Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick will |
talk on “Vegetable Gardening.” |

—Cows are good producers de- |
on their inheritance and the |
way they are fed. Provide for a|
better herd in the future through
the careful selection of a herd sire

ducing cows on both sides of his

cialists.

—Coccidiosis usually affects chicks
from 3 to 12 weeks of age. The
symptoms are loss of yellow color
from the beaks and shanks. Af-
fected chicks usually pass blood in
their droppings and act very sleepy.
—Weeds in walks, driveways, and
other spots may be killed by using
some of the week-killing preparations
to be obtained from the better seed
houses,
—During the month of May prac-
tically all of the garden be
planted with early maturing crops
and those that occupy the ground
all season. With horse cultivation,
the early maturing vegetables may
be planted in a part of the garden
separate from those occupying the
ground all season. Succession crops
are then planted where the early
crops are harvested without interfer-
ing with the others.
—Cabbage root maggots, which
attack radishes, cabbage, and re-
lated plants, can be controlled by the
use of tar paper discs, corrosive sub- |
limate solution, or tobacco dust.’
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN,
DAILY THOUGHT
They talk about a woman's sphere as
though it had a limit;
There not a place in Earth or Heaven,
There's not a task to mankind given,
There's not a blessing or a woe.
There's not a whispered yes or no,
There's not a life, or death, or birth,
That has a feather's weight of worth,
Without a woman in it.
By C. E. Bowman

in this effect were specially notice-

a favored trimming, and white ac-
cents retained their importance not
{only as trimming for hats but also
for gloves and occasionally for foot-
wear.
Separate coats and suit jackets
were distinguished by the dressmak-
er details so typical of this year's
fashions. Irregular seamings, diag-

applique effects in the form of stitch-
