DESCRIBES ME- ETHOD
OF GROWING HOLLY
WiIdfIoWer Preservation So
ciety President Urges Cul-
tiVation of Plant.

Cultivation of holly plants. which
may be used for decoration not only
during the holiday season but
throughout the year, is described by
p. L. Kicker of the Wildfower Pres
ervation Society of America, in
statement in support of the campaign
for preservation of the holly and
ground pine in this vicinity.
"Of all woody plants in the East"
says Mr.. Kicker, holly and it's close
relative winterberry are in the great
est danger of determination. Around
large towns where they formerly were
common one has to go further away
each year to find them, and, like the
mountain laurel, most Of the material
that reaches the market is stolen
No estimates of the quantity used are
available The problem, however, is
so serious that immediate steps for
its cultivation are urged. The growth
from seed is too slow, as it needs to
be stratified for two Winters before
St will germinate readily. Also from
seed the berry producing plants can
not be told for several years.
How to Plant.
"Three-inch cuttings, mostly from
female trees Clearing berries), made
in this latitude from the first of Octo-
her to the first of November, keeping
the leaves attached in the case or
the holly Cthe winterberry has de-
ciduous leavesl, should be placed in
shallow boxes with an inch layer of
moss covered with two inches of
sand, well watered and the box COW
cred with glass. They should be
watered once or twice a week, but
not allowed to dry out.
In a greenhouse with slight bot
tom heat, or in the window of a
room of ordinary temperature go to
rs degrees), the cuttings should be
days have roots one-half to one inch
long. The plants should then be
placed in pots, and should grow to a
height of at least to inches by
Fail, when they may be set out in
nursery rows and the sexes carefully
labeled.
The plants prefer acid soil, and
this may be obtained by mixing one
fourth by bulk of pine, spruce, fir
or oak sawdust with the soil.
Manure should not be used. In the
nursery rows or in paintings the
plants should be mulched with saw
dust, pine needles, oak or laurel
leaves once or twice a year to main
tain the soil acidity unless it is
naturally So"
Mr.. Kicker points out that plants
as young as one OF TWO years olu are
very attractive, and make excellent
decorations, especially at Christmas
time.
As the plants grow older, however,
and may be planted out of doors,
Mr.. Kicker says that in eight years
cuttings may be made of considerable
size, for decoration or the market.
1T must be remembered" Mr..
Kicker says, in making cuttings
and paintings that If berries are
wanted the cuttings must be mostly
made from female trees with berries,
and a small proportion of plants
from made tree clippings planted with
those from the female. If they be-
come mixed during propagation or in
the nursery the berry-bearing plants
cannot be separated until they
bear, which will be several years at
least"

LABOR'S PROGRESS PROOF ITS
 POLICIES HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE

stitutions and the provisions and guar antees of our Federal constitution. As American citizens we are determined that these shall not be ignored or set aside by the selfish greed of those who desire unhampered opportunity to ex- ploit labor for their private profit.
 We have pledged ourselves to retire from public life those public officials who gave assistance to the forces of greed and reaction, or who have failed to adquately protect the welfare and the rights of the masses. We have drawn a sharp line of demarkation between our friends and our enemies in public life regardless of their party affiliations. We intend to more vigorously apply our non-partisan political policy. The leg islative. progress which we have made is evidence that this policy is most effec- tive.
 Fore more than a generation our movement has faced the greatest po- litical and industrial forces which anti trade union employers could muster against us. We are the veterans of many hard-fought contests and we have seen the attacks upon us strengthen our ranks while giving us lessons in the school of experience which enables us to more successfully meet future at tacks, and carry on our movement more effectively.
 For years efforts have been made to control5 divide or capture our trade union movement by those who adopted policy of boring from within. Today the trade-union movement of no coun- try is as free as ours from the inf1u- ence of those outsiders who to further their own theories or programs endeavor to influence or direct trade-unions in their activities.
 Let us pledge. ourselves to carry on this movement given to us as price less heritage by the trade union pio- neers, and make full use of its strength until every industrial and economic wrong has been overcome, and mutual justice has become the watchword in industry. We can do no more, we would be unworthy if we were satisfied with less.

CHURCH MEN FAVOR CHILD LABOR
 AMENDMENT

Washington, Sept. 13-Church men of the nation are wholeh eartedly sup porting the child labor amendment to the federal constitution.
 In statement just issued by the com mission on the church and social ser vice of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, this spokesman for Protestant church men refers to the child labor amendment as "a charter of freedom for childhood"
 "Churches throughout the country will need to exert their full influence upon public opinion in the states to se- cure ratification" the commission says Congress will then have the authority, now lacking, to accomplish what 1t has twice attempted, only to have its acts declared unconstitutional, and to legis- Hate from time to time for the protec- ton of children. More than million children who have been kept, out of school to work will then be given their chance at life A uniform national law, controlling child labor, will bring all in dustries under the restrictions of min inurn standard"
 T he bishops program of social re- construction, issued by an organization composed of the Catholic archbishops of the United States, calls for federal child law.
 "The child labor amendment permits only nationwide minimum standard, says the department of social action, National Catholic Welfare Conference. Any state may exceed the standard. This is done so as not to hamper the states whose conscience is awake and so as to avoid centralization. It IS the stagnant and backward states, remain ing obdurate in the face of a federal law, that will have their child labor conditions regulated much by the fed eral government, and 1t IS expected that there will be few or none of these after the national amendment is passed and a child labor law is put the federal statutes"
 Jewish clergymen have also taken strong ground against child labor, though the Central Conference of Anne rican Rabbis has not convened since congress passed the child labor amend ment. In their conferences of 1920 and 1922, the child labor declaration of the rabbis included demand for raising the standard of age wherever the legal age limit is lower than is consistent with moral and physical health.
