This is easy to do, but not as easy aa some beg:--ners may think. It does not increase the yield per plant, I. reduces it. It enables more plants to be grown in small space, climbing instead of spreading out on the ground.

The space saved is indicated by the fact that plants pruned to a single stem can te space a foot apart, and double stem plants 21 inches apart, while most plants that lie on the ground require four feet each way. Thia applies to varieties of normal vine growth, which are the only kind that should be staked and pruned. So-called determinate varieties, of which the stems stop growing after they reach a certain length, while the plant devotes all its energies to ripening the fruit which has set, should never be pruned, and get no benefit from staking-, but they may be planted as closely as 18 inches apart, and allowed to spread on the ground. They beer a good early crop, but over a shorter season than the older, later varieties. Keeping tomato plants pruned I . and tied to stakes or a fence needs constant attention.

MAY 18. 1950 Well-Kept Lawn Pays in Beauty Perhaps you've made a vow really. to have a fine lawj, and take good care of it this summer. You've gone down to the hardware store and bought yourself a garden hose and a lawnmower that really -works. You're going to keep that stand of grass mowed, clipped and watered every day. Watered every day? Wait a minute. In addition to wasting water, many authorities believe that's one of the quickest ways to ruin a good lawn. Here are some pointers, generally agreed upon by most experts, that will help you keep the lawn the way that it ahould'be kept. First, it's an error to water too early in the spring—in case you're trying to have the first green lawn in the block. Hold up on that irrigation until the lawn begins to suffer a little. This will force the grass roots down into new feeding zones in the soil. Second, please don't make the mistake of sprinkling it lightly every day "just to cool things off." These two mistakes—watering too . early and sprinkling every day encourage shallow root systems and help that much maligned crabgrass more than they do the bluegrass. A good general rule to follow in handling a lawn is: Soak the ground thoroughly at infrequent intervals and water it just often enough to keep the other plants alive. You can start mowing the lawn as soon aa there is enough top growth to cut with the mower set at the proper height. In case you don't know how to set the mower—end many homeowners go through life never becoming acquainted with this little detail—here's how to do it: Place the mower on a flat surface, like a concrete walk or garage floor. Loosen the side brackets at each end of the roller. As you extend the roller bracket downward, the roller itself is lowered, and the bedknife in front is tilted upward. The bedknife is actually what you are setting, , For bluegrass, measure one and & half to two inches from the floor to the cutting edge of the bedknife and then tighten the bracket bolts again to hold the knife in that position. You might Siossibly find that your mower cannot be *et that high. If so, aak your hardware dealer about obtaining longer roller brackets. A good, healthy lawn is one of the finest sights in the land, and it ought to make a perfect setting for your home. To keep it in the proper condition, make sure that the grass is at least an inch and a. half high after mowing. Two Inches is even better. Mow it ofteji enough so that the clippings are short and can be left lying on the lawn where they are needed. Don't delay mowing until the blades of the grass bend over and become matted, because right at that point your lawn is in danger of deterioration. Mow the lawn when it needs it, not just because it's Saturday. Keep the mower sharp and properly adjusted and you'll have half the battle won before it's begun. Suburban Garden (Continued from page 2) gracefully reflexed petals curving backwards on four to five-foot plants in August and September. Among the dwarfer lilies Tenuifolium, the coral lily, has small coral-red, nodding flowers on eighteen-inch plants; Thunbergianum Mahogany carries upright red-brown flowers in June on plants only a foot high; and the TJmbeHatums, Golden Fleece with tan spotted yellow flowers and Orange Triumph with orange-red lilies, both upright in umbels on two-foot plants in June. How to Plant Lilies Of the above, Candidum, Martagon, Pardalinum and Shuksan are base-rooting and should have only two or three inches of soil above the bulbs. The rest are stemrooting end must be planted deeper with at least six inches of soil above the bulb. When planting dig out the soil to a greater depth than required and mix sand liberally through the bottom soil to provide drainage. Set the pots on top of an inch or two of pure sand and cover to the required depth. Avoid the use of any lime and manure. Lilies thrive in well enriched soil and like lots of water When in active growth. Frequent shallow cultivation and mulching with peat mosa will conserve the soil moisture. Space the taller varieties from twelve to fifteen inches apart, preferably in groups. Give top feeding with bone meal in early spring and avoid windexposed locations. Mulch the beds each winter after the ground is frozen hard with coarse leaves or salt hay. Montelair Academy Foundation operating MONTCLAIR ACADEMY Boys' College Preparatory Grade. 7-12. Tel.

'50^ 21' Club Boss Collects Books for Rutgers Unofficial Curator Is an Alumnus of State University Many a best-selling author, contentedly lunching in the rarified air of New York's fashionable "21" Club, has been pleasantly flattered hy a request for an autograph on the flyleaf of his latest work— the request coming, no less, from one of the owners of the worldfamed eating place. "Make the inscription out to the Rutgers University Library," is the unexpected request of "21's" boss, I. Robert Kriendler, a 1936 graduate of New Jersey's State University. Through its unofficial curator stationed at this strategic crossroad the Rutgers Library has accumulated an enviable collection of signed, inscribed- and dedicated copies of contemporary works. Kriendler, who shared 21's responsibility with his brother Jack before the latter's untimely death, established the collection as a memorial to his brother. Another unusual Jack Kriendler memorial at Rutgers is a collection of reproductions of famous paintings available to students for room display. The Jack Kriendler Memorial Collection in the Rutgers Library includes still more unusual contemporary material — typescripts, printers' gallery proofs and even manuscripts from the ^authors whose books went on to become best-sellers. The volumes are authored by an awesome group. The list contains most of the names that have graced best-seller lists through the past few years. One shelf finds Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's dedicated volume nestling alongside one by Lucius Beebe and another by Jim Farley. Elliott Roosevelt rubs elbows with Drew Pearson and Bob Sherwood with Bob Considine. Volumes by H. L. Mencken and Ely Culbertson share space with books by William L. Shirer, John Steinbeck, Oscar Levant, Morris Ernst, John Hersey, John Gunther and F. Van Wyck Mason. Carlos Romulo, Philip Wylie and THE MANUSCRIPT of "A Rage to Live," John O'Hara's best-seller, is presented to Rutgers University Librarian Donald F. Cameron (center) by the author (right). I. Robert Kriendler (left), Rutgers alumnus, bibliophile, and host, of New York's famed '21 Club, arranged the presentation, one of a large collection he is gathering for the library as a memorial to his brother, the late Jack Kriendler. John O'Hara nestle comfortably side by side, as do Kathleen Winsor, Louis Bromfleld, Rebecca West, Biily Rose and Ludwig Bemelmans. Hollywood hasn't been forgotten, as books by George Jesse! and Louella Parsons testify, but General Lewis Brereton is probably surprised to find his -book in with theirs and Saloon Editor Earl Wilson's to boot. George Jean Nathan and Step-hen Longstreet head the stage delegation, with Ward Morehouse, Deems Taylor and Norman Bel Geddes also on the team. Kriendler is a former pupil of Librarian Donald F. Cameron, then an English professor and now director of the seven-unit library system which serves the State University. Kriendler's interests in Rutgers doesn't end with the library. Like most alumni, he can shout himself happily hoarse when Rutgers bags a traditional victory in football. But he's the only alumnus who can bag a Rutgers triumph of sorts all by himself—the author, the pen, the request for an autograph, and the inevitable "inscribe it to the Rutgers Library, will you please?" We're Extremely Proud to Present ^ Boid, Thoid, Foisf May Be Substituted A continuing storm of protest from Missouri educators descended on the head of Dizzy Dean all during his umgrammatical baseball broadcasts from Sportsman's Park, St. Louie, last year- Last week Missouri pedagogues breathed a sigh of relief. Dean had moved 1 to New York, where he will >be television interviewer at Yankee stadium this season. Now nearly a million new school children will be exposed to typical Dean language: "He slud (slid) jiome," "the players 'returned to their respectable bases,' 1 or "the ball ricketed (ricocheted) off the fence." THE WESTERLY Astronomy for the Amateur By JAMES PICKERING We have devoted considerable time, in the last few columns, to the constellations which lie to the north of us this spring. It is true that they are far more spectacular than the more southern aggregations of stars, but later on, when the summer section of the Milky Way swings over us, and we get a chance to look to the south at the real hub of our universe, the southern skies will bear more watching. Right now, below the eastern end of Leo and the western part of Virgo, there are two constellations along our southern horizon that are strangely similar in outline. The first and more western of the two is Crather, The Bowl. Crater is made up of four faint stars which make an irregular foursided figure lying just below the brightest star in Leo — and, as it happens, south of the bright object which is our sister planet Saturn. East of Crater, and' having almost the same outline, but placed end for end, is Corvus, The Raven. 3orvus is shaped very much like :he traditional mainsail of a schooner, and is sometimes known as Spica's Spanker. Spica, which iea just above and a little to the east of Corvus, is the brightest star Virgo. The four main stars which mark the angles of Corvus are slightly brighter than those n Crater, but neither constellation is exciting. Now let us take a tremendous jump far to the north again. Our old familiar, the Great Bear, with its rear half taking the form of the Big Dipper, is just about crossing :he meridian — that imaginary ine which contains all the points over the head of man from pole to pole. To the north of the Dipper lies the tail of a most tortuous and twisted constellation, Draco, the DOES YOUR PIANO NEED TUNING? Harold Heuer, Tech.

Best Known Star The best known star in Draco Is a rather faint one which lies near the end of its tail, just above the middle star in the handle of the Blg Dipper. This star is Thuban which is an Arabic word_meaninr Dragon. Thuhan is the Alpha of Draco, but it is far from being the brightest star in the constellation It has been given the primary designation because, from 3700 to 1500 B.C. it was the brightest star nearest the north pole. A little known but nevertheless important movement of the earth called the Precession of the Equinoxes has swung the earth in a great, slow circle, similar to the motion of a spinning top just be-fore It stops spinning, so that a line drawn outward from the north pole describes a tremendous circle against "- i stars. Some 500 years ago, this ick of the extension of our north pole was slowly passing near Thuban, which was the North Star of its day. The slow circling—wabble would be a better word—is caused by the i 'act that the diameter of the earth s iust a little larger through its iquator than it is through the poles.
