TOO MUCH WATER KILLS
PLANTS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

More plants in the window garden
are killed every year by overwhelming
than in any other way Some persons
labor under the dclusion that water
must be applied daily. and the conse-
guonCe is their plants are literally
drowned out, unless they happen TO
have the best drainage.
Others go on the "little-and-often"
plan-that is. they apply water in
small quantities whenever they hap
pen 20 think of it,
The result is the surface Of the soil
is kept moist and from this the owner
takes it for granted that the soil be
meath must be properly damp.
Nine times out of ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil Is dry. or course
the roots OF the plants cannot do their
work under such conditions. The plant
soon sickons and eventually dies and
the owner wonders what caused the
trouble.
Now. in watering plants several
things have to be considered. First.
the nature of the plant. Some like
good deal of water. others only mod
crate amount.
Second the soil. A close. loamy soil
dries out slowly. therefore it will not
require IS frequent or as large appli-
cations as a light porous soil from
which moisture evaporates rapidly.
Third. location and exposure must
be taken into consideration. Plants in
the sun or a very warm place. will
need a good deal more water than
those in full o. partial shade or a low
temperature.
Fourth. the size Of the pot must be
rcckoned with. The soil in large pot
will not dry out for two or three DAYS.
but the soil in small pot will become
quite dry every day.
Fifth. a dormant plant requires but
little water. 1t i6 not in a condition
10 make use OF much water and an
oversupply of it will surely result in
harm When the plant begins To grow
then increase the quantity and proper
ton this to the development made
All these things must receive due
consideration by the amateur who
would know how TO care for his or her
pants intelligently.
Study them. Experiment with them.
In this way you soon become familiar
with the individuality of each one and
you will be able to give to each the
care it needs.
We are often asked for some rules
for watering plants. 1t is impossible to
make any rule that can be followed
strictly.
The only rule have ever been able
TO give is this. When the surface of
the soil looks dry. water. Use enough
to thoroughly saturate all the soil in
the pot
You can tell about this by the es-
cape Of some at the bottom of the pot.
Then wait until the dry look appears
on the surface again and apply water
as before.
But. as have said, one will have TO
modify this rule to fit the conditions.
It is'a general rule, subject to such
change as may appear necessary 10

Data on Mexican Situation

Citizens Appear Before Senate
Committee in Interest of
the Smith Bill.
WOULD PERMIT MONTHLY
CHARGE OF 2 PER CENT
Legislators Informed Poor Borrow
ers Now Are Taxed 179 Per Cent
a Year by Sharks in Virginia.

Asserting that poor borrowers in the
District of Columbia were being
charged interest on loans ranging from
179 to 1SS per cent per annum by loan
sharks doing business across the
Potomac river, a citizens committee to-
day appeared before the Senate Dis
trict committee in the interest of the
Smith bill, which would permit lenders
of money to charge per cent a month
on loans in the District. The support
ers of the bill argued that the present
law which permits only l per cent a
month had driven all the money lenders
out of business here, with the result
that needy borrowers had to go over
the river. where they were charged
anywhere from 3 per cent a month up
William L. Baldwin, chairman of the
citizens committee, made the principal
statement to the District committee.
Others who addressed the committee in
support of the bill were Henry White,
former United States ambassador to
France; Mrs. Archibald Hopkins. Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Wainwright, and
Evan Tucker. president of the North
east Washington Citizens Association.

Charities and DIR. George NJ Kober and

bassy all the papers seized in New York
with the arrest of Wolf Won lgel which
Count Won Bernstorff will identify as Off
cial. Photographs Of the seized docu-
ments have been made and will be re-
tanned.
Count Won Bernstorff protested vigor-
ously against the taking of the papers.
and it was said at the State Department
that Secretary Lansing was considering
the necessity of an official apology.
Should the ambassador assert that all
the documents are official, it is under
stood that they will be returned to
him. but it was said to be the present
intention of officials to keep the pho
tographic copies
Disclose New Details.
Officials were interested today in
learning if Count Won Bernstorff would
declare any documents to be the property
of the German embassy.
The papers were said to disclose several
subjects of an unusual nature which had
not before come to the attention of this
government. Definite connection with the
German embassy would be confirmed i,
was believed. by declaration that the
documents are official.
IL none of the documents is declared Of
ficial 1t was understood, the United States
will use them all in the prosecution of vor
Igel. his associates and possibly others as
yet unnamed
Whether Secretary Lansing would send
note to Ambassador Bernstorf express
ing regret for the seizure was not an
nounced, but such action is believed prob
able.
1t also was suggested that the State
Department might delay action until the
submarine dispute with Germany assumed
definite stage.
Embarrassment to the Embassy.
The embarrassing necessity would
seem to confront the German embassy
to determine what are official diplomat
