ORGANIZATION MEN SAY
BYRD WILL NOT RUN
Statement Is Attributed to Senator
Martin During His Visit
to Richmond.
BYRD DOES NOT CONFIRM TT
Politicians Look for Showdown Be-
tween Ellyson and Pollard, With
WeStmOrelan Davis Drawing
Votes From Both Factions.

That Richard Evelyn Byrd, former
Speaker OF the House OF Delegates, had
decided not to be n candidate for Gov
ernor In the 1917 primaries is the sub
stance OF statements attributed to Sen
ator Thomas S. Martin during his visit
to Richmond last week. The senior
Senator. who was in the city for sew
cral days with Senator Claude a. Swan
son, Is quoted as saying that Mr.. BYRD
would not enter the primaries, and II
was plainly Indicated that tho former
Speaker would support Lieutenant
Governor J. Taylor EllySon who has
already announced his candidacy.
Rumors TO the effect that Mr.. Byrd
would not be candidate have been
current in political circles for several
weeks. but were not generally ed
until Senator Martin arrived in the
city. Political leaders from all sec
tons OF the state conferred with the
Senators. Following interviews with
Senator Martin, several men promi-
nent in Virginia politics told friends
that the former Speaker had rcnounccd
any intention of entering the Subcr-
Material race At this time.

LOOK FOR TIGHTLY DRAWN
LINES HETWEEN FACTIONS

If the statements attributed to Scna-
tor Martin are correct. political lines In
the primary Will be drawn as closely as
tho two leading factions in Democratic
politics can make them. Mr.. Ellyson,
who has been State chairman for
twenty years or more, Will receive tho

forces. Wcstmoreland Davis, who made

factions.

over the plants before they begin to
send up their flower stalks. / support
it on stout stakes that project about
eighteen inches above the surface of
the soil, using enough of them to keep
the netting level all over the bed.
This is the season for making war
fare on the enemies of the rose. If
one would have fine flowers he must
make up his mind that he's got to fight
for them. / use an emulsion of soap
and kerosene.
1t is very necessary that the appli-
cation should get to the under side of
the leaves and the inside of the
bushes, where the insects are likely
to hide away; therefore it will be well
to have someone assist by bending the
bushes over and holding them in that
position while the application is being
made.
Worms, slugs- green lice and the
rose-chafer can be kept from injuring
the bushes If the emulsion is applied
thoroughly and frequently.
As soon as my lilacs are past the
Towering periods, go over the bushes
and cut away all the seed clusters.
The result isl get a fairly good crop
| of flowers on what is generally consid-
cred the "off year" of this excellent
old shrub. II it is allowed to develop
seed, it generally has few flowers ex-
] cept on alternate years.
Speaking of lilacs reminds me to
say, that l do not indorse what some
people say about this plant being a
| nuisance because of its habit Of send
ing up SO many suckers from its
| roots.
That 1t is prolific in this respect ]
| admit, but there is no good reason for
allowing them to grow until you have
blade the sharpness of a knife by filing
it to keen edge, and go over the
| ground about your lilacs at the sprout
| ing season, and shave off every sprout
| that shows its head above the grass
You can do this just as easily and rap
idly as you can cut off so many weeds,
and by doing it you can keep your
| lilacs from spreading all over the
yard.
These bushes are nuisances only
when allowed to have their own way
| Give them the attention they need
| and they are easily kept under con-
| troll. The secret of success consists
in not letting them get the start OF
you.

IN THE HOME GROUNDS
BY EsEN e. RExFoRD.


This month will be busy one for
the gardener. There will be plants to
put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill
quite enough to keep one at work
most Of the time.
do my transplanting on cloudy
days, If possible, but if the weather
persists in being sunshiny, do the
work after shutdown. Before lifting a
Seeding, apply enough water to
thoroughly saturate the soil in which
1t is growing. If this is done. the
young plant can be moved without ex-
posture to the roots, and 1t will receive
no check whatever, but will keep on
growing as If nothing had happened
to it. But allow its tender, delicate
roots to be exposed to air for ever SO
little a time and you run a serious
risk of losing your plant.
II this does not happen, it will re-
ceive a check from which it will take
q long time to recover.
One cannot be too careful with any
thing as delicate as a seeding plant.
In bright weather newly transplanted
seedlings will require shading for a
day or two. ! cut out a circle of
coarse brown paper, about a foot
across, make a slit to the center on
one side of it, and fold the paper over
two or three inches. running a wire
out and in through the folded part.
This wire serves to hold the paper to
gether and acts as support for the
little brown paper umbrella.
1t should be at least twelve inches
long-long enough to insert in the
ground close to the Seeding, and hold
the paper cone we'll above the plant 1t
is designed to protect. This kind of
covering keeps the sun away from
the plant, but does not interfere with
free circulation of air about it.
What kind of support are you 60
Ing to give your gladioli? Tying their
stalks to sticks gives them such stiff
and prim appearance that l always
feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick
in the center Of clump does not
furnish a really satisfactory support
to the stalks on the outside OF it, and
a hoop supported on sticks is open to
the objection of being only little
better than nothing.
Here is my plan-and one that
works well, and can be easily carried
out. take strip of coarse mesh

Mr.. Stump is keeping it locked in an

sibility Of the pollen being stolen, for
a mere touch of a feather or toothpick
to its stamens would secure sufficient
pollen to make possible the breeding
of similar plant by hybridizing with
another orchid. Strange to say, the
fact that the glass case is absolutely
