AN EYE ON NEXT CONGRESS
Official Washington Is Specializing on
How Many Ex-Service Men VIII
Be Returned.

Official Washington is wondering
how many ex-service men are to be
returned to congress at the election
next fall. Speculation is rife, with the
bonus controversy at full tilt.
Veterans Of the World war already
have formidable strength in the house.
81 seats being occupied by former
service men, according TO canvass by
the American Legion. The senate has
two yeterans-Senator Newberry OF
Michigan. and Senator Elkins of West
Virginia. Twenty-one states are rep
resented by ex-service men in con-
gress. New York leading with four.
Massachusetts and Tennessee being
second with three each.
Far-sighted persons have haZarded
the opinion that when the votes are
counted in November, it will be found
that the number OF ex-soldiers in the
house has been materially increased.

THE SUNDAY TEA

XE7ITHIN the last few years the
w custom of tea serving on Sunday
afternoon has been growing, especially
in the large cities or city suburbs.
Usually these teas are informal and
there are no special invitations for them
perhaps that is why they have proved
so popular. IF you are out Sunday
afternoon. drop in and have cup OF
tea with us; the Joneses will probably
be around" That is about all there
Is TO the usual invitation. And you
go and the Joneses are there and some
interesting people whom you have
never met and there is perhaps little
music and if it is a warm day all
will stroll through the garden and you
go home feeling that you are much
better off because of this little tea
party"
who would feel that this sort of thing
was not quite in keeping with the
spirit of Sunday and those people
you would of course not invite to
have tea with you on that afternoon,
though the chances are that those
very people would accept an invitation
to go motoring on that day or would
have dinner at a hotel in order TO
tighten their own household cares.
Easter day, like other festive days,
is with many people day when they
like TO see their friends and exchange
the seasons greetings and for that

arbors or trel1ises and other orna-
mental purposes. In the opinion Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, roses are not very satisfac-
tory for hedges. as most types are
neither sufficiently compact nor suffi-
GENTLY branched to make really good
hedge
Native species, and those least modi-
fed by mans crossing and selection
are most suitable for lawn and border
planting. Border roses should have
little pruning, the removal of the dead
wood and the cutting of the whole
bush to the ground every five to eight
years being the best way OF handling
most varieties.
Climbing roses used for arbors and
trellises may be managed either to
give an abundance Of bloom or to pro-
duce shade, but they cannot do both
satisfactorily, and they are not well
adapted to the production of shade as
many other plants Climbing roses
should be pruned just after blooming

years growth removed.
Cut-fower roses need clean culture.
severe pruning and special care; there
fore they should be planted by them
selves in secluded beds and should
not be used to beautify the grounds
in place of the roses appropriate for
lawns and borders. Cut-fower roses
should be cut each spring to within
six inches or one foot of the ground
for finest blooms, or one-third to one
half the wood should be left if the
object is large quantity of blooms.
The essentials for satisfactory rose
growing are well-drained retentive
soil, thoroughly enriched, preferably
with rotted manure Cut-fower roses
particularly need heavy annual ma
nuring. Special care must be exer-
cised to prevent the roots from drying
when out of the ground for transplant
ing. Dormant roses should have from
one-half to two-thirds of the wood re-
moved at the time of transplanting.
Watchfulness is the price of success
with roses.

kept him from service abroad during

ASPARAGUS MUST
HAVE RICH SOIL
Delicacy viii Grow in Drained
Ground If Plant Food Is
Properly Applied.
ROOTS BETTER THAN SEED
Spring Is Good Time to Transplant
Shoots May Be Blanched by Ridg-
ing Up Over Rows With
Loose Sandy Soil.

Asparagus should have a place In
every home vegetable garden where it
will thrive. This crop can be grown
on almost any well-drained soil, but
will do best on deep, mellow sandy
loan, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. There is little
possibility of having the land too rich,
and liberal applications of partly rot
ted barnyard manure should be made
before the plants are set. The seeds
of asparagus may be sown during the
early spring in the rows where the
plants are to remain and the seedlings
thinned to stand IA inches apart in the
row at the end Of the first season. 1t
is usually most satisfactory to pur-
chase two-year-Old roots from some
scotsman or dealer The roots should
be transplanted during the late au-
tumn or early spring.
Before setting out the plants. the
land should be loosened very deeply,
either by subsoil blowing or deep spad-
ing. 1t is a good plan to remove the
topsoil and spade manure into the sub
soil to a depth of IA or 16 inches; then
replace the topsoil and add more
manure. There are two methods of
setting an asparagus bed, depending
entirely upon the kind of cultivation to
be employed in the garden. If the
garden space is limited, the plants
should be set in a solid bed, one foot
apart each way. In setting asparagus
the crowns should be covered to
depth of four or five inches.
The part of the asparagus used as a
vegetable is the young shoot that is
thrown up during the early spring.
The shoots are removed when about
four or five inches in length by cutting
slightly below the surface of the
ground, but care should be taken that
the knife is not thrust at an angle or
the crowns viii be injured. If so de-
sired, the shoots may be blanched by
ridging up over the rows with loose
sandy soil or by allowing the mulch to
remain and the shoots to make their
way through it; but unblanched as

paragus always has a better flavor
than blanched, is more easily produced,
and is more satisfactory for home use.
Too heavy mulching has tendency to
retard the growth Of the shoots by
keeping the ground cold until late in
the spring.
No shoots should be removed the
first year the plants are set in the
permanent bed, and the period Of cut
ting should be short the second year.
After the second year the plants be-
come well established, and with proper
fertilizing and care the bed will last
indefinitely. During the cutting sea-
son all the shoots should be removed,
as the roots will cease to throw up
shoots as soon as one is allowed to ma
ture.
