Resistance to Drouth Tests in California to determine how many days various lawn grasses can endure drouth showed a wide range among the common kinds.

The grasses' in these tests were considered to be injured by drouth when they began to wilt. The number of days required for such wilting, for grass grown on heavy clay soil, was as follows: Creeping fescues 14 days Kentucky bluegrass 24 days Merion bluegrass 30 days Kentucky 31 fescue 36 days Observers thought the depth of rooting of these various grasses explained these differences, since the depth varied in the same direction aa the number of days for wilting. It is interesting to see that Merion bluegrass stood up longer by six days than common bluegrass and that Kentucky 31 was the most drouth, resistant of all. This fescue is not for polished lawns that have to be cut short but proves useful on the less busy places, hillsides, playgrounds, that can be cut only two or three times a year. Governmental Humor The only bit of humor I have ever read in a government bulletin is recorded as follows: The common lilac will succeed from Canada as far south as ice of sufficient thickness to hold the weieht of small boys forms on shallow ponds."

Choose Onions With Care Onions planted for the production of seed or sets ought to be chosen with care to be sure they are of types that one desires to reproduce. Especially they should not be onions that have sprouted early in the season, because early sprouting i one of the qualities you wish to avoid in onions. It is now possible to produce sets instead of seeds on the tope of flower stalks of common onions.

This is very interesting for the reproduction of the most desirable onion types, since the sets grown In this way will reproduce their parents perfectly while seed does not. To make sets replace seeds just cut off the flower buds before they have opened, close to the bottom of the stems that support the buds. Forsythias Not Flowering? A question has come in as to the failure to flower this year of some forsythia bushes. If individual bushes that have previously flowered have not done so the cause may be one of two conditions. It is possible that a bush could be pruned so late in summer or fall that it failed to set flower buds before winter.

Winter cold hardly ever in jures forsythia buds but it might be that if plants were kept The Week at Peabody Players Open Flewering Snowball Shrabs 4 Beta Pink Sal rea White Flowering Dos weeds Tellew Back Rasa Shrubs Tulip Trace Red Bud Trees Hydrangeas Whits spirea Red Snenberry selected far a Hot af cerieeus calarsl Nurseries lit prepaid add Joel Am t.

The newly germinated grass is coming along nicely in the south west corner and ia all the patches aoour. me lawn wntcn are sown1 month ago. As an old reference book stu dent, I was unhappy about having a pretty large grass plot sown in spring, and thought long and hard about sowing it with annual ryei for a summer cover to be followed in September with its permanent seeding.

Leveling Big Job There was a hisr job of leveling, raking and seeding required howeverone considerably beyond my' physical strength and my limited gardening time. At today's prices, hiring skilled gardening labor is almost as much of a luxury as buying a yacht, so I have taken my chances on weed competition as a simple economy measure. I comfort myself, however, by strolling down the road to look at a handsome lawn a neighbor of mine sowed two years ago in July. He flew in the face of every bit of published advice I ever en countered, and did very nicely. Lett Spading Work Every year my garden requires less spading work as I acquire more and more which may not be disturbed.

I had adequate results from the Rutgers last year, but they had a lot of afternoon shade. They do infinitely better in full sun. In Flower Garden The best tomatoes I ever grew were some I put in the perennial border.

I though they looked attractive there, on their neat tall stakes; pleasantly green foliage first, following by colorful red fruit. And that's where I'm going to put them again this year.

This happens sometimes with other plants. Destroy Cabbage Lice Early attention to lice on cabbage plants will save much trouble later. These green lice curl the leaves and in time put themselves beyond the reach of any spray or duet In the beginning, however, they can be easily reached with treatments based on nicotine sulfate or any other spray meant for plant lice. Later, when heads are nearer maturity, more care will be needed to choose safe materials. Roses on Rail Fences Among the many good places for climbing roses are the white rail fences that are so common in Middle Tennessee.

No one would wish to cover these delightful fences entirely but a thrifty rose here and there lends variety, when otherwise there are long stretches of unadorned fence. Between Nashville and Columbia there are several good examples of roses on fences. In several respects a rail fence is better than a wire fence for roses. An important practical matter is that when the plants have to be trimmed the operator is out of luck if he has to disengage the spiny canes from cloeely woven wire. Then the white color of some of the rail fences adds interesting contrast to both the foliage and the flowers.

C. PELTON Garden Editor Dogwood season blossoms are tieautiful, but they can be overdone at the expense of flow ers which bloom later in the year. Since few of us have all the garden space we would like to have, it seems unwise to use most of it for a splurge of beauty at one time, lest other seasons suffer a shortage Here Is a partial list of common Ten PeltQn nessee plants that usually bloom with dogwood. Check the list in your own yard or neighborhood: Light blue or purple mi, Yellow kerria. Azaleas, mostly pink.

White spirea Van Houttei. Sour cherry, white. Lilac, white and lavender. Wistaria, lavender. Weigela, pink.

Late tulips. Paulownia tree, lavender. Scotch broom, yellow. In relation to dogwood con-eider the number of white and pink flowers there are on this list. Do the white spirea and sour cherry add anything to the dogwood, or in reverse.

Is the dogwood needed if these others are on hand? Then there is the pink dogwood which competes with azaleas and the pink weigela. Since the dogwoods when mature take a lot of room it is very convenient to let the neighbors plant them so that in one's own garden smaller plants in greater variety may be enjoyed. There is, in fact, good sense in considering that since large shrubs and trees can be seen over the garden fence there is no need for everyone in a neighborhood to have them. There could be some very profitable neighborhood co-operation in this matter, especially as to the base plantine of houses.

EGBERT JR. Peabody Correspondent The Peabody Players will open their six-night run of Patrick Hamilton's mystery thriller, "Angel Street," tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Peabody Horseshoe theater in Smith hall. The three-act production, orig inally produced on Broadway under the name of "Gas Light," takes place in an old house on Angel street in London in the Vic torian days of 1880. The mystery combines a suspenseful afternoon and a more eventful evening with old English custom and true Holmsian style, in telling a stir ring episode or the Manninghams of Angel street.

Husband, Detective Clash The plot puts a scheming hus band against a craftier detective. They clash separately and oppo' sitely upon the mental state of Manningham's miserable and love ly wife, Bella, who is both the victim and the beneficiary of the plot. The Manninghams are played by Bill Yarbrough, senior, 2011 Mc- Kennell dr. and Betty Tavakoli TIS campus. The hero detective from Scotland Yard, Inspector Rough, is played by Merrill Gwos- dof, senior, 205 Mayfair Road Supporting roles are played by the servants Elizabeth and Nancy, i-ienore upKin, freshman, Peoria 111.

and Margaret Vause, senior, lurberville. N. C. Jim Quigley. senior, Nashville, is the student director of the play.

Leaders Elected Post-election celebrations climax the week of student government, politics, and campaigping at Peabody. Gale Ford, Clarksville, Gordon Hicks, Demorest, and Peggy Booth, Nashville will fill the positions of president, vice-president and secretary of the student body for the coming year. Twosomes seemed to go in all ways during the election, as two sophomores, Hicks and Booth edged in over opposing candidates Allan Qunener and Pat Lyon, two juniors both from Maryville, Tenn.
