What “KODAK” Means 
AS a word, a trade-name, Kodak* is simply an 
arbitrary combination of letters. It is not de¬ 
rived from any other word. It was made up from 
the alphabet, not by lucky chance, but as the result 
of a diligent search for a combination of letters 
that would form a short, crisp, euphonious name 
that would easily dwell in the public mind. 
As a trade-mark, “Kodak” 
indicates certain of the products 
of the Eastman Kodak Co., to 
which it has been applied, as, 
for instance, Kodak Cameras, 
Kodak Tripods and Kodak Film 
Tanks. 
As an institution, “Kodak” 
stands for leadership in photog¬ 
raphy. To the world at large it 
is best known for its simplifica¬ 
tion of photography for the ama¬ 
teur, for its Kodak and Brownie 
Cameras, for its films and papers. 
To the professional photog¬ 
rapher, it is known for its pro¬ 
gressive leadership in the manu¬ 
facture of everything that is used 
in the studio. In the cinema 
world it is known as the pro¬ 
ducer or the film that made the 
motion picture possible. To the 
army and navy, it is best known 
for its aerial cameras and aerial 
lenses—the latter a modification 
of the Kodak Anastigmats. To 
the scientist, it is known for its 
X-Ray products, now so vital 
in the mending of men, and for 
the work of its great Research 
Laboratory. 
In 1888, when the two “k’s”, 
the “o”, the “d” and the “a” 
were euphoniously assembled, 
they meant nothing. To-day 
they mean protection for you 
in the purchase of photographic 
goods.

house or beneath the large elms and 
maples, the golden bell, mountain laurel, 
native honeysuckles, the red and yellow 
twigged dogwood and the old-time favor¬ 
ites. snowberr.v and Indian currant, will 
all do splendidly. 
Combination Borders. —Where the 
border plantings are of medium or large 
extent, such plants as the white and pink 
flowering dogwoods, pink flowering crab- 
apple, witch hazel, pink and white haw¬ 
thorns and sorrel tree are all interesting 
and worth considering. If your space 
does not permit a flower garden, an ar¬ 
rangement of both annuals and the old- 
fashioned hardy plants such as Phlox, 
p&'onies, Iris, Coreopsis, etc., may be de¬ 
lightfully arranged as a foreground plant¬ 
ing to the border planting. 
Winter Effects. —We live on the 
farm in Winter- as well as Summer, and 
for Winter a charming effect can be bad 
by using the red and yellow-twigged dog¬ 
woods, beautiful with their brightly col¬ 
ored barks and twigs, the smaller grow¬ 
ing green-twigged Kerria, the Viburnums 
with the reddish fruits, Ibota privet with 
its bunches of jet black fruit, and the 
bright red berries of the barberry. Among 
the evergreens best adapted for farm use 
are the white and Norway spruce, white. 
Scotch and Austrian pine, Douglas spruce 
and white or Coneolor firs. All of these 
may be used as lawn specimens and for 
general wind-break plantings. 
Planting and Care. —In the planting 
of all shrubs, 2 ft. of good soil should he 
available, spading up the entire area and 
planting the smaller-growing shrubs from 
3 to 3*4 ft. apart, the larger ones from 4 
to 6 ft., according to the variety used. 
Confusion as to the size to purchase from 
the nursery often results, due to the many 
sizes listed in the catalogue. However, 
for general planting, the size of the 
smaller growing shrubs should he from 1 
to 3 ft. in height, while the taller grow¬ 
ing shrubs may be purchased in these 
sizes or in grades running up#to 4 to 6 
ft. For evergreens, such as the pines 
and spruces, plants ranging from 3 to 5 
ft. will in most cases give best results. 
As to the care needed for the shrubs and 
trees, but little is needed after the first 
season or two. An annual pruning over 
during the Winter season, cutting out 
the old and dead wood and a forking over 
of the soil during the early stages of the 
planting, is about all that is necessary, 
i This latter operation will do much to 
| keep out the weeds' and to conserve the 
moisture so important to newly planted 
stock. Such work, however, is over as 
soon as the plants have opportunity to 
grow in together in such*a way that the 
tops completely shade over the ground 
area. 
The Lawn. —The problem, 'however, 
most important for success in your efforts 
for attractive grounds* is* to maintain 
a good lawn, as the plants serve only as 
a framework for the lawn area. A neg¬ 
lected lawn may often be improved by 
the application of a couple of inches of 
good loam early in the -Spring, rolling it 
down to a level surface. By sowing 
grass seed to the amount of* about. 1 lb. 
to every 200 sq. ft., plus the'grass which 
will come up through -the added loam, a 
good lawn will often result. A thorough 
rolling of the lawn is also beneficial in 
the early Spring after the frost is gone, 
as this will form a direct contact between 
the roots of the grass and the subsoil, 
thus doing away with much of the Sum¬ 
mer burning. 
Sources of Knowledge. —For you 
who are contemplating building or who 
have recently built, many worth while 
ideas are yours for the asking from the 
extension service of your State agricul¬ 
tural college. By drawing up a rough 
plan, showing the general dimensions of 
your grounds and buildings, location of 
all existing trees, with a list of the ma¬ 
terial you may have on hand, simply 
needing to be arranged, they will only 
be too glad to assist you in your prob¬ 
lems. Many good reliable nurseries are 
also offering a similar -service. The pic¬ 
tures on page 673 show various examples 
of effective planting around the farm 
home. ROBERT b. FAXON. 
More About Dasheens 
T would remind H. G. Smith of Mis¬ 
sissippi (page 584) that I was not writ¬ 
ing of my experience with dasheens in 
Mississippi, but in Southeastern Mary¬ 
land. I -can grow conns of the Caladium 
esculentum here as large as a grape fruit, 
but I never got a dasheeu larger than a 
culling Irish potato. Now of the two, 
did Mr. Smith ever eat one of the f'al- 
adium conns? They leave the Caladium 
conns in the ground all Winter in East¬ 
ern North Carolina, and they grow them 
there by the acre for the Northern seeds¬ 
men, and get them nearly as large as a 
Netted Gem cantaloupe. If Mr. Smith 
will roast one he may find it better than 
dasheens. He is doubtles correct, so far 
as the dasheen grown in Mississippi is 
concerned. I never got them large 
enough to test their quality here. When 
I got them from the Department of Agri¬ 
culture they did not state that they would 
be any great success here, but that they 
had made large crops in South Carolina.

Agricultural 
Gypsum -* 
increases growth of alfalfa and clover tip to , 
300 or 400 per cent, depending on the need of the 
Boil for sulphur. Gypsum supplies a combination 
of sulphate sulphur and calcium in the most 
available plant food form—Calcium Sulphate. 
High cost of alfalfa and clover seed makes the 
application of AGRICULTURAL GYPSUM (Land 
Plaster) at the recommended rate of 4(H) to 600 
pounds an acre a real economy. Gypsum is a pre¬ 
servative of barnyard manure. It prevents escape 
of ammonia from the manure, and and every dol¬ 
lar’s worth used saves $2 worth of NITROGEN. 
A Gypsum Test Strip on Your Fields 
Will Prove Its Worth in Legume Yields 
Prove the value of AGRICULTURAL GYPSUM on 
your farm. Co to your local building supply doaler 
and purchase enough Agricultural Gypsum to make 
a test strip on your clover, alfalfa or other legumes 
in rotation. The test should prove conclusively that 
Agricultural Gypsum is greatly needed on YOUR soil.

book telling all about the value and nse of Gypsum 
as a permanent soil builder. Book free on request.
