speaking, dahlias will grow wherever
tomatoes succeed.
They are easily propagated from
either seed or roots. The amateur,
though, probably will find culture
from the root most successful.
Soil for raising dahlias should APP
proximate what is commonly regarded
as good garden soil-rich in plant life
and of light and crumbling texture.
Time for sowing or planting is usual
ly after all danger from frost is past.
Other appropriate flowers for the
garden might well includs, foxglove,
cosmos, Canterbury bells, verbenas,
Shasta daisies, asters, marigolds, four
o'clocks, pansies, nasturtiums and
forget-me-nots.
In planting verbenas, SOW the seeds
at least a month before the ground
stops freezing at night, starting them
in a moderately warm living room or
hotbed.
Soak the seeds a few hours in tepld
water and plant them in seed boxes

BYL. c. c. DECISION
Move to Increase Shipments
in American Vessels Cause
of Wide Comment.
By the Associated Press

by tne Associated Press.
LONDON. March 1s.-Tbe Inter.
state Commerce Comnission,s dec;-
sion to allow preferential railroad
rates to American goods shipped in
American vessels has been greeted
with lively interest in British ship
ping circles.
According to the Morning Post
correspondent at Liverpool, the step
Is declared to be in contravention of
convention recently signed at
Geneva and introduced by American
delegates.
The correspondent quotes an un-
named shipping authority as saving
that 1T is merely another way of
bolstering up the United States shin
ping Board to Justify it's existence .
adding that while on the face ii looks
like very good thing for American
shipping the American exporter. IL
confined to American vessels, will
likely find his business upset At the
same time, according to this author
ity, there are not enough American
ships to meet the demand
The speaker also suggested that
British merchants in retaliation
might refuse to buy goods unless
carried IN Brlt1Sh or nOn-American
bottoms, and concluded:
"The whip hand in the matter
seems to be held by any other ma
tion than America"
Another authority is quoted as ex-
pressing belief that the decision will
have very little weight in view OF
the failure of the United States here
tofore to maintain a mercantile ma
rine Of its own.
The Liverpool Chamber of Com
merce is holding a special meeting
to consider the matter.
