NATURE EXCELS IN
CREATION OF TULIP
By AsKOv GARDEN CLUB

Stand in any garden on late May
morning when the borders flash and
flame with tulips and, you wonder by
what devious ways this beauty came.
Who brought the first tulip from its
hinterland home, precious charge,
to shelter in a cultivated garden?
Alas! the dusty ANIMALS do not dis
close this romance
For countless generations the Sara
Gems enjoyed the tulip in their gar
dens at Constantinople, on those
Towering terraces splitting down the
hillsides to the blue water of the
Bosphorus.
Being mighty traders, the Dutch
brought home these queer bulbs to
their lowland gardens and there, by
the canals and in the presence of the
engulfing sea, they made them flour
ish. Wars swept the land and still
the tulip offered it's beauty, spring
after spring. With so generous a
flower at hand, little wonder the old
Dutch gardeners took to multiplying
it, hybridizing it, until they had
created and fixed many different
kinds.
In the history of the tulip is writ
ten the history of the patient, plant
loving Dutch.
Tulip Planting.
To understand the proper planting
of tulips you must understand how
tulip grows. Dig one up early in
the spring and you will see that from
the base has issued fringe of white
roots. These serve both as collectors
of food and anchors whereby the bulb
is held in place. From the tip arises
the pointed stem that will drill
through the solid earth and open into
leaves surrounding the base of the
flower stalk. Because of these two
directions of growth in planting tu-
lips, we must consider the soil below,
the soil Immediately around and the
soil above the bulb. The bulb should
be set firmly in the soil so that when
those feeding roots begin to reach out
they will find contact with the earth.
If tulips are to be planted in a bed
by themselves, remove the soil to the
depth of eight inches, and over the
bottom spread a half inch layer of
sand. This sand both affords drain
age and immediate anchorage. Set
the base of the bulb in the sand,
spacing them about six inches apart.
Sift soil in between them until they
are completely covered. Do this care
fully lest wou disturb the bulbs, be
sure to pack down this top layer of
soil. After the ground has frozen,
cover the bed with straw or leaves.
1t is often desirable to use ground
cover for the tulips. Such annual
seeds as petunias may be sown over
the bed or such plants as pansies.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1931-10-29

For-get-me-nots may be set out in
the spring between the tulip leaves
after they appear.
IF tulips are well planted they re-
quire no care in spring save remov-
ing the mulch after frosts have
passed.
Tulips may be left in the same bed
undisturbed for two or three years.
If left in their original places, cut
off seed pods, for setting seed drains
the vitality of the bulb.
The ideal time for planting tulips
in the north is the last week of Oc-
tober and the first two weeks in No
vember. They should not be planted
earlier as the lingering warmth of the
soil would start growth which is un-
desirable. For the same reason the
tulip beds should not be covered until
the ground is well frozen.
Backgrounds.
Shrubbery or walks may form the
background or it may be adjacent
foliage. From the vast range of
spring Towering shrubs one cannot
make a mistake in selecting these
for backgrounds.
In creating color harmony dark
colored varities are used for the main
bold rear or front color effect, In
terplant these with contrasting colors
or different tones of the main plant
ing.

NEWSPAPER ADS BEST
BUSINESS, CLUB TOLD
Consumer Does Not Foot Bill, AS
serts A, b. G. Director.

Newspaper advertising serves as
stimulant to business and brings
useful and enjoyable commodities
before the public, o. c. Harm of
Chicago, managing director of the
Audit Bureau of Circulation, told
members of the Advertising Club at
the Columbia Club Thursday.
THE consumer is not paying the
vast advertising bill of modern
business, but that is paid out of the
savings to consumers" Harm said.
The public sometimes is led to be-
deve it is footing the bill and re-
ceives no benefit. The public does
not pay the advertising bill 1t is
paid by the saving to the public of
greater burdens which, otherwise,
would be saddled upon it by the
high, production costs"

CIRCUS PRESS
AGENT BRINGS
SPRING TO N. Y.
Madison Square Gardens
Big Problem Is One of
Elephant VS.. Wrestler.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, March 27.-The
housing problem at Madison Square
Garden became embarrassingly acute
today, and there is no solution in
sight unless some one devises a way
Of ascertaining whether a wrestler
or an elephant consumes the most
floor space.
Dexter Fellows, advance man for
the circus, reached the city, assur-
ing the citizens that spring was
right at his heels and that the show
this year will be bigger and bet
ter"
Already the elephants are on their
way, Fellows explained happily.
Were arrangements all made to
house them in the basement OF
Madison Square Garden? Was am
pie food on hand?
Before a harassed executive of
the Garden could reply, there re-
sounded a terrific trumpeting from
the basement.
Elephants or WrestIers
THAT" observed Fellows, sounds
familiar. My elephants must have
arrived"
No one shared his optimism, be-
cause it was no secret that a herd of
Jacques Curley's wrestlers were in
the basemtn being fed rare meat in
preparation for the next perform
ance of the troupe.
Fellows, therefore, began figuring
what he would do if the wrestlers
had not evacuated the position be-
fore the elephants arrived.
Gross tonnage was computed and
it was found the wrestlers had
slight edge; floor space, however,
could not be computed, because,
as Curley explained, he did not
know at any given moment whether
his herd would be vertical or hori-
zontal.
Spring Is About Here
Adjournment was taken until to-
morrow night after two minutes
of silent prayer for guidance in this
hour of stress.
After Fellows dried his eyes he
J talked shop. Spring, he said, was

1900 CHEMISTS
TO GATHER IN
CITY MONDAY
Four Distinguished Foreign
SayantS Are Among
Speakers.

Men whose GRANDCHILDREN have
blasted armies out of trenches, and
who from acids and water made
the ink that wrote peace pacts. will
come TO Indianapolis next week, but
probably none Of them will have a
thought for demolition Of helmet1d
oattalions or diplomatic reconcilia-
lions.
They Will be part Of 800 chemists
attending the eighty-frst meeting
Of the American Chemical Society
at the Claypool from Monday until
Friday.
In the multitude Of discussions
that will range from new foods to
mathematical formulas almost as
intricate as Etnsteins relatively
theory, many papers by learned
scientists from industries, universe
lies, and technical schools will be
presented.
Foreign Chemists Coming
-Four, and perhaps five, famed for
eign scientists will attend the meet
ings. They are: DR.. H. Falken-
hagen and Professor Karl Freuden-
berg. Germany; DR. Nevil v. Sidg-
wick and Dr. r. H. Fowler, England,
and perhaps DR.. Heinrich Wieland,
German. They will read papers
on physical and organic chemistry.
One result Of the convention is
expected to be a plea for more high
ly specialized training of students
in chemistry in high schools in
America.
Scientific imagination of more
than 100000 boys and girls studying
chemistry is being stihed by made
quate attention on the part of
teachers. according to Professor R.
a. Baker Of the College of the City
Of New York, one of many speakers
Who will address the chemists.
"A boy in high school laboratory
Is intensely interested in combining
one substance with another to get
tangible and immediate result"
DR.. Baker has declared.
Should Be Encouraged
Under an instructor who is
skilled and absorbed in the science
ne would be encouraged to go for
ward to become the professional
chemist so needed in present-day
industry"
He will advocate to many teach
ers and representatives of industries
who will be here during the con-
vention, a plan for closer Co-opera-
ton between industry and high
school and college students. with
the aim Of opening industrial
laboratories for advanced instruc-
ton If students.
Need Of chemistry in modern
human civilization will be stressed
by a report of Otto Wilson, statisti-
clan, of Washington, D. c., who will
present a report to show that while
virtually all other forms of business

sion, this science has Jared well
