Another fine feature of the garden
Is that one does not have to be a
millionaire, and own a forest. to be
able to get all there is out Of
gardening.
We are not all millionaires. and
hundreds OF thousands of us do not
possess even an acre of ground. Hap
PLY, we do not positively require that
much.
We recall reading an editorial by
the editor of one of the leading garden
magazines In which ne recalled his
visit to a great estate where every
flower grew just SO. and then re-
membered a. passing glimpse OF a
front-doOr garden while In the
country.
The first. he said, was laid out .ac-
cording to all the rules Of the indus
trious writer's of orthodox garden
books. Borders were just $3.50. Laws
Of color harmony. as worked out by
some lady with a too.esthetic sense
and nothing else to do. apparently,
had been followed to the letter.
The result. the editor admitted. was
charming. 1t was as If Nature had
been poured into a funnel, and told
just how to issue forth. Mother
Nature had been given jar of hair
cream and instructed just how to
use 1t.
The other garden was a little place
which would have made not even a
corner Of the other. But there was q
woman there. pottering around among
her plants, Zinnias. marigolds. lflacs.

And when the editor had gone his
way, which garden do you suppose

one. to he sure, and it taught him
a lesson which he thus preached to
the clientele of his own publications:
'"rhe real garden is where love is"
Step by step. day by day. little by
little, row on row. the garden unfolds
with the ieisurely, onrushing days.
We looked over the catalogues, we
made our selections. In our so-call He'd
minds eve we saw how the flowers
would look, I'm the very corners Of
the ward we had selected
We stopped worrying about "color
combinations" and refused to frown
upon the Zinnla because 1t WAS red,
or the marigold because 1t lived up to
It's name.
When pseudo-Spring came. we work
ed over the beds and got the soil into
good shape. All the time we pictured
the garden as IL would be, az IL ought
To be II everything went well.
Methodically We set cut our gladi-
olns bulbs (corms. more accurately,
and In a few DAYS had the satisfa ction
OF seeing them do what we knew they
would do. One by one they stuck
their swordiike shoots up through the
earth.
On May 10 We had the pleasure OF
plucking our first rose from Red
Radiance, which, with its sister
Radia nee (pink). Is the most satisfac-
tory of roses.
The garden Is taking form. with

Pilsudski's Revolt in Poland.

Much mystery surrounds the situa-
ton In Pola nd, where a military re.
volt has occurred, seemingly under the
leadership Of former Marshal Pilsud-
ski. Varying reports come from the
scene of the uprising. The real cause
Of the demonstration 10 clOuded In
doubt, likewise it's extent and its like
lihood Of success.
Pilsudski has been out Of power, po-
litical and military, for several years.
He has a large following and is sup
ported by a considerab BILE section of the
army. Recently several of his most
determined enemies have returned to
office. The government at Warsaw
has been passing through a series Of
rapid changes. owing to the inability
of any ministry to command a dis
tinct bloc Of support In Parliament,
where there are numerous small
groups, with only slight cohesion.
1t is suspected that Pilsudski aims
at a dictatorship, seeking to end the
confusion caused by frequent changes

Cooperation by Federal officials in

sugar beet farms OF Colorado, helps
solve a vexing problem in connection
with harvesting the years crops.
The wheat harvest begins In Texas
June and advances north and

the potato crop, care for the beet
fields, harvest and husk corn. The

The agricultural States. which feed

the harvest, and congested metropol-

The Failure Of the General Strike.

Cancellation of the general strike

to displace the new men. Some have

result Is that while the general strike
