DENT LAW FAC
ING COURT TEST

Portland, Ore.-A private casualty
company has challenged the legality
of the federal compensation law
which permits an injured longshore-
man to choose whether he will take
temporary benefits or the sum fixed
for permanent partial disabilities. In
some cases the worker would receive
more by choosing the one and in
other cases the different benefit would
pay the greater sum.
The point has been disputed since
the enactment of the law, but this is
the first time it faces court test.

and long enough so that they can
be anchored securely in the ground.
It Is an advisable practice to plant corn
at the side of the garden toward which
the prevailing winds blow. The corn
will then act as a windbreak, which will
aid in keeping the paper in proper posi-
ton.
Where the garden is papered when
the seed is planted, rapid termination
is expedited. Experiments have demon
strated that the soil under the papered
area is generally from 5 to 10 degrees
warmer than that in adjoining gardens
which are unprotected. During cold,
backward Spring, the paper mulch aids
measurably In enabling the amateur
gardener to secure good stand of
vegetables from one planting. It speeds
seed sprouting and also improves con-
ditions for bacterial action in the soil.
And the bacteria as any experienced
gardener will tell you, are the home
growers best friends, for they serve as
chefs" who prepare the plant food so
that the growing green crops viii eat
and relish it.

TN view Of these facts, it Is preferable
for District gardeners to apply the
paper before they plant their vegetable
seed or set out such plants Is tomatoes.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-21

The paper used is ordinary impervi-
Gus black asphalt building paper placed
commonly in building practice UNDER
meath composition singles or sheathing.
It costs $50 a roll which will cover
500 square feet of garden area. This
grade of paper comes in only one
width-namely, feet. However, 1t Is a
simple matter to cut the rolls into III :
foot widths for use on the closer
planted row vegetables such as beets,
carrots, lettuce and radishes. The paper
is durable for one gardening season in
the neighborhood of Washington. 1t
can best be allowed to rot on the ground
after the vegetable season IS over.
A simple system is to plant the garden
as usual and to apply the paper after
the vegetables are several inches high
The paper is unrolled by hand, so that
it covers the space between each two
rows Of vegetables. Each row of vege-
tables will occupy from liz to 2 inches
of unpapered soil, according to this
arrangement, which has well served the
purposes of some half-dozen Washing
ton gardeners who tested it last season.
In all cases the paper after application
is held in place by loose soil, clods or
rocks placed regularly along its borders.
Large staples of heavy wire can be
made wide enough to span the paper

cabbage, sweet potato and the like.
The easiest method is to start at one
side of the garden and work toward the
other. Apply one roll of paper length
wise of the garden. Plant your first
row of corn along the inside edge of
the paper. Leave a 2-inch space for the
corn row between the first application
of paper and the second. Continue the
process until the entire garden Is
planted.
OF course, 1t is a rather laborious and
back-testing job, this business of plant
ing the seed and applying the paper. 1t
will take one man from one and one
half to two days to paper the garden
and plant the seed on one-ninth OF an
acre-an area as large as the ordinary
extensive home garden. From then on,
however, the garden is its own hired
man. It requires no attention whatever
unless plant pests attack certain Of the
green crops and have to be sprayed.
The gardener who applies the paper
properly and whose miniature farm"
escapes insect visitation can forget all
about the garden until the time arrives
to pick the first peas, radishes. beans or
beets.
Every resident Of the District who

The blanket Of impervious paper
eliminates all hand cultivation and pre-
vents weed growth, while it also con-
serves soil moisture and maintains sub

four years, checking and rechecking
methods and results, before his repre-
sentatives made public the amazing
facts which they had con1bed from their
research investigations. Several OF the
scientists maintained test gardens at
their respective homes in the interim to
try out the efficacy Of the new prac-
tices under varying soil conditions. The
results were unanimous, irrespective OF
where reaped, in proving the efficiency
and economy of the new style OF grow
ing vegetables and ornamentals.
Eventually your Uncle Samuel pub

paper gardening. It was then that the
