SHOULD PLANT PEAS EARLY
Seed May Be Put Into Ground as Soon
as Freezing Weather
is over.

Peas can be planted almost as soon
as the frost Is out of the ground, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture says. One pint of seed will
plant 100 feet of row. One hundred
feet of row will yield four to six pick
ings of sufficient quantity to supply a
family of five over period of about
eight or ten days. The important
point in providing a continuous sup
ply of peas is to make at least three
and preferably four, paintings. The
first planting should be one of the ex-
tremely early sorts; the second plant
ing, which should follow just few
days later. should be one of the in
ternedlate sorts like Gradus, and the
third planting may be Telephone or
n tall growing sort, about two weeks
after the first planting.

To Take Teeth Out of Railroad Act

DREPARATION of a bill emas-
= culating the transportation act of
1920 for introduction during the pres
ent session of congress has been begun
oy Senator Brookhart (Rep., la, who
was elected on an anti-rallroad plat
form last November.
Reduction of the net valuation of
the railroads to approximately $12,-
100000 as compared with the val
uation of S90O,0OO,oOO tentatively
fixed by the interstate commerce com
mission, is probably the principal OBJ
ject of the Brookhart bill.
It would also abolish the United
States railroad labor board and wipe
out the section of the transportation
act directing the interstate commerce
commission to prescribe rates that will
yield fair return on the value of the
property devoted to transportation.
The flair return" is now designated
by the commission as 5A per cent, but
the railroads have never earned but
slightly in excess Of per cent in any
year since the act was passed in 1920,
and that was last year.
Senator Brookhart would reduce the
valuation on railroad property by

TO HAVE FINE ROSE BLOOMS
Cut Away All Surplus Wood When
Trimming the Bush Early
in the Spring.

In the spring, dormant roses which
were set in the fall should be cut
back, leaving only two or three stems
with four or FIVE eyes OF each. This
will leave them 6 Inches or less in
length. When dormant roses are
planted In the spring they should be
pruned at the time of planting, leav-
ing four or five on stem.
After the first year, the pruning
should be done as soon as freezing
weather is over. says the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
regions where roses never suffer from
cold u may be done in the fall. All
weak wood and crossing branches
should be removed every year. For
greatest mass Of bloom only one-third
to one-half of the shoots should be
rvt sway.

congress prompted a White House
spokesman to discuss the Presidents
attitude. 1t was easy for a senator or a
representative, 1t was explained. to put
forth proposals for world economic
and peace conferences, but quite diff
ferent thing for the President or sec
retary of state to do so.
When the latter speak, they sound
the voice of America on foreign af
fairs. The President is convinced that
there cannot be world conferences
until the nations are ready for them.
The President cannot understand
how, with the situation in Europe as
it is today, any one can insist that the
United States should attempt to pose
as savior. He does not comprehend
how any one without super authority
can say to Germany, You must yield
to France" or say to France, you
must come out of the Ruhr and col
lect your reparations. without resort to
force"

POSIES AND SHRUBS
FOR HOME GROUNDS
Rich Blossoms and Colorful
Foliage Add to the Appear
ance of Yard.

"Man shall not live by bread alone,'
even with the addition Of a few
vegetables. In planning home gar
den some space should be devoted to
shrubbery and few flowers to de-
light the eye and add to the beauty
of the home surroundings, the United
States Department of Agriculture ad-
yises Although many flowers are
suitable for planting close to the
house, it may be more desirable TO
place permanent shrubbery against
the foundations of the house and give
the annual Towering plants n place
In the garden proper or as border
A bed of flowers may well be used to
separate the lawn from neighborlng
property or from the vegetable garden.
Old-fashloned Zinnias, petunias,
bachelors buttons, cockscomb, scarlet
sage cosmos, are among the most
easily cultivated flowers which serve
to brighten up the exterior of the
home. Where space Is available, one
may choose plants that will furnish
cut flowers for the house as well as
beautify the surroundings. Dahllas,
asters, peonies, roses and gladioli are
among the many excellent Towering
plants for this purpose.
Dahllas are propagated In two
ways, by the tubers, which look some
thing like small sweet potatoes, and
by cuttings. BY the tuber method of
propagation a single root or tuber is
placed In each hill and allowed to
develop a cluster of stems. These
tubers may be placed in pots or boxes
in the house to form roots and make
a start before they are set in the
open ground. but as dahlias are pri-

Suitable Fertilizers Will
Give Results.

When there is u partial stand Of

about twice year and apply suitable
fertilizers at frequent intervals, the

ing plant, there Is no particular need
of getting them started early and the
bulbs can be planted right where the
plants are to stand. The other meth
cd of propagating, by cuttings, Is
practiced by florists. BY this method
the tubers are planted during Janu-
ary In the greenhouse and as the
young shoots form about three leaves
they are cut off. the leaves trimmed
slightly, and the cutting rooted in a
warm bed of sand. After the roots
are formed the cuttings are potted in
rich soil and grown to good sized
plants in five or six-inch pots. The
tuber method of propagation is the
only practical one for the average
person.

countless institutions which hold large
amounts of railroad securities and in
dividual investors who have put their
savings into railroad stocks. The bill
would settle the rate question for the
farmer by wiping out freight rates.
Railroads would go out of business,
and the farmer would not any longer
need to worry about rates. The Brook

spirit and theory as any measure of

No Fairy Godmother Wand" for Harding

ZXIASHINGToN. - President Hard
w ing believes there is a mistaken
idea, more or less prevalent in the
United States. that the American gov
ernment can wave a wand at the ma
tions of Europe to which they will re-
spond.
1t was made clear at the White
House the other day that the President
hopes this feeling will not grow strong
er, because the Washington govern
ment is not going to wave any magic
wand at Europe in the present repnra-
tlons mess, and is going to make no
proposals either to France or Germany
until proposals for assistance are
sought.
The Administrations firm attitude
against intervening in Europe now ap-
Deared to be making an impression in
the senate when the foreign relations
committee, after brief consideration of
reparations data furnished by Secre-
tary Hughes, decided to take no ac-
tion that might tend to compllcate the
delicate international situation.
Senator Borah (Rep., Idaho). how
ever, is planning to revive his proposal
for world economic conference. An
other development was the introduc-
tion in the house by Representative
Chalmers (Rep., o. Of a resolution re-
luesting the President to call a new
world peace conference.

ROLL THE LAWN

A good, heavy roller is a val
liable asset to the painstaking
lawn lover. A roller is easy to
make. Obtain a rlmless tile,
provide a piece of gas pipe to
run through the center then
pour the tile full of cement and
sand mixed. A gas pipe or
wood handle can be arranged to
suit. Frequent use of the roller
in the early spring will roll
down the bumps in the lawn
caused by freezing.
