CONGRESS SCARED ITSELF.

The House of Representatives almost scared itself to death when it defeated the sales tax The wall that went up from the country through fear that the budget would not be balanced had not ceased echoing until budget balancing tax bill went through and the Senate announced that it would practically immediately pass the House measure with little if any change
 The new low level to which stocks sank after the defeat of the sales tax looked like multitude of ghosts on dark night to Senators and Representa- tives-Democrats Republicans and Progressves Everybody hastened to get under cover completely as possible, One Washington correspondent said the sales tax bill would have passed unanimously if it had bsen possible to get another vote on it day or two after it's defeat. Congress ready to tax anything in order bring in enough money to bal the budget

DOLLAR IS WORTH MORE.

The investors dollar today buys 125 per cent. assets 1925 per cent. more surplus and 17.6 per cent more earnings than in 1926, according to an analysis of 30 high grade common stocks made by Administrative and Research Corporation New York.
 A comparison of the above figures with the investment purchasing power of the dollar in 1929 shows that at year-end prices dollar would pur- chase 79 per in assets, 902 per cent in surplus and 90 per cent in eranings compared with 1926.

Lloyd George Adds Interest.
(MancnesUer Guardian)


 With MT Lloyd Georges return politics take on much more interesting aspect. He took the oath in Parliament yesterday, and Wednesday delivered a speech which its liveliness and vgour, seemed like a return to the Lloyd George of the great period. It was searching and devasting criticism of the National Government sham, trap into which Liberals had been led by unskillful leadership. MT. Lloyd George did not spare the Liberal Ministers and the plain moral of the speech is that they must leave the Government be left behind by the tide of Liberal feeling. The party organisations are grow ling more and more restive at the continuance of Free Trade Ministers in Protectionst Government. MT Lloyd George endorsed MT Baldwin's prophecy that there will be election for four years Ills appeal to all of progressive mind to combine lagainst the hard barren materialism which ap- pears to have triumphed, looked beyond immediate policy and the confines of his old party

APHIDS

One of the first insects TO appear in
Spring and one of the last to disappear
in Autumn, the plant louise or aphld,
is nearly an ever present pest in the
garden. Hardly have the young buds
in Autumn, the plant louise or aphid
make their appearance. In some ways
the aphid Is easy to control. 1t is
stationary and does not fly away TO
avoid the spray or dust. The bodies
are soft and easily injured. But these
facts are Offset by the very numbers of
the insects.
From the entomologist's viewpoint,
aphids are an interesting group. Most
of them spend their lives on two or
more different plants, migrating to
perennial plants in late Fall and re-
turning to the other host in Spring
Then the same group has winged and
wingless forms, the former appearing
when it comes time to migrate to the
other host
From the home gardeners standpoint,
the group is not at all interesting being
capable of much harm, including the
transfer of disease from weeds to culti-
waited plants or from diseased to healthy
plants. Control is not difficult. To-
bacco and pyrethrum extracts are highly
effective and even a dilute soap solution
often will clear off the pests. Better
yet is a combined spray Of soap and
tobacco or soap and pyrethrum. AS
most OF the larger garden supply stores
carry these preparations for killing
9phlds, there is really no reason fol-

BEDDING PLANTS

A Journey through the public grounds
and parks of the city in Midsummer
affords a splendid chance to study plants
both with reference to varieties and
their most effective use. Take, for ex-
ample, the brilliant lantana that used
to be planted along the walks in front
OF the old Agricultural building. This
species is relatively new as an outdoor
bedding plant and brings new assort-
ment of colors in its orange and reddish
hues. Lantana is very free Towering,
remaining in almost constant bloom
lid until frost 1t seems to enjoy MID
summer heat so long as it is watered
freely. Lantana is bad weed In some
parts of the tropics, but can never be-
come a pest here because OF its lack OF
Winter hardness. The heliotrope,
another plant that used to be effective
on the Agricultural grounds, has much
to commend it as a bedding plant be-
cause of its large. deep blue flowers OF
delightful fragrance and continuous
succession. Heliotrope is, Of course, not
at all new to our gardens, but some OF
the new giant f1owered varieties are re-
markably more beautiful than the old
fashioned heiiotrope. The petunla
makes a fine bedding plant, not only
for this locality but over large
IBIIllOIN. IL Is tANI 11SC NNAAAAS
in Midsummer when many other plants
suffer and supplies a brilliance and di-
versity of color unsurpassed by any
other Midsummer flower. There are
several desirable strains of petunias,
including the Violet and Rosy Morn
(pinkl as we'll as the mixed color stocks
so commonly seen and which are rather
attractive, especially when there is no
definite arrangements of colors. Ge-
raniums are all around plants, useful
in the home in Winter and outdoors IN
Summer Sturdy as rock, the ge-
ranium endureS unfavorable moisture
and nutritive conditions that would
destroy less vigorous species. Coming
to us from South America, the geranium
reflects its early triumph over difficult
conditions in its wonderful sturdiness.
Some people may not know that ge-
raniums are named carefully. but assume
that they are simply classified by color
as red, white or pink One of the finest
scarlet varieties is Mrs. S. A Mutt.
Geraniums make excellent bedding
material, quite equal to more expensive
plants and much more easily main
tanned in good condition.

ROSE PROPAGATION

In the 1882 American Rose Annual
Guy E. Yerkes Of the Department Of
Agriculture presents scme further
evidence on the deSirability Of growing
hybrid tea roses on roots other than
their own. The work was carried on
at Arlington Farm, across the Potomac
River in Virginia, and therefore should
be applicable to local gardens. Seven
varieties, namely, Columbia, Mrs. w. c.
Miller. Ophelia, Nine. Butterfly, White
Killarney, Radiance and Red Radiance
were grown ON II different rootstockS
and on their own roots. Based on an
average of five years records, these
varieties grown on a variety of Rosa
multif1ora, known as Chenault 5892,
yielded a total of 343, 1856, 731, 694,
568, 8l8 and 84l blooms respectively
as compared with 1875, 1862, 427, 311,
365. All and 409 on their own roots
Their own roots were the poorest OF
the entire lot. Only 71.2 per cent of
the oWn-rooted plants lived as COM
pared with 100 per cent for lot on
Ragged Robin roots. Radiance was
the only variety to grow as well on its
own roots as on budded stocks.
The evidence is striking and worth
the consideration of any rose grower,
amateur or commercial, because after
all flowers are what the gardener
wants. Why the difference? Simply
because the stocks are more vigorous
growing They send their roots out
further and perhaps deeper and draw
more nutrient and moisture supplies.
The results speak somewhat in favor
of spending a little more money for
plants in the beginning. Mfr. Yerkes
speaks highly of the ability of the
hybrid tea rose to withstand severe
drought because there occurred during
the five years one of the most serious
moisture shortages that ever has con-
fronted local gardeners.

BLACK SPOT.

No trouble Of the rose presents such
a trial to the home gardener or, as a
matter of fact, to the commercial rose
grower as well as does black SPOT. the
disease that destroys the foliage and
causes plants to become bare skeletons.
1t may be said in the beginning that
no remedy is always 100 per cent
successful even in the hands of skilled
rosarians, but it cannot be said but
that remedies are generally helpful.
Miss Alma NJ. Waterman, author of
Farmers Bulletin No. 1547, Rose
Diseases and Their Control" cites three
helpful measures, notably improvement
OF growing conditions, sanitation treat
ment with fungicides and the growing
OF resistant varieties, that aid in con-
trolling black spot.
AS unfavorable growing conditions,
Miss Waterman mentions too close
planting and growth under shade
where moisture is slow to evaporate
from the leaves. One very we'll may

add lack of cultivation and fertilizing,
conditions which favor weak growth.
BY sanitation Miss Waterman has
reference to the collection Of diseased
leaves and prunings and their burning
Treatment with fungicideS includes the
use of such materials as Massey's dust
mine parts of powdered sulphur and
one part of arsenate of lead POWDER
bordeaux mixture and ammoniacal
copper carbonate. MaSSey'S dust has
become a favorite material for the
small home garden because it is easy
to apply, simple duster such as may
be obtained at any seed store being
quite sufficient. The inclusion of
arsenate of lead in the Massey dust
checks various minor leaf and bud
eating insects More recently nicotine
sulphate has been added directly to
Massey dust. giving control of aphids
as well as black spot. Massey dust as
made at home is sulphur colored and,
to overcome this light color, one
enterprising commercial firm has
developed a green dust of the same
composition.
Treatment for black spot is a
difficult task because, to be effective,
it must begin with the young leaves
in early Spring and be repeated at
intervals of 10 days to two weeks until
late Autumn. Even with this constant
attention, there is no positive assurance
Of complete control, especially on the
more susceptible varieties. Yet ones
chances of growing good roses are
enhanced greatly by dusting.
The last of Miss Waterman's sug-
gested precautionary measures, that OF
the use of resistant varieties, is perhaps
the most important of all, especially

FLOWER SHOWS

May is the great month for flower
shows in Washington and vicinity be-
cause of the wealth of bloom then
available. Tulip, iris rose and peony
dominate the situation, but there are
many other beautiful flowers, such as
pansies. pyrethrum and columbines, that
add a great deal to the Spring shows.
Two factors go to making a successful
exhibition, one materials and the other
artistic arrangement. Neither alone will
make for the best results. Whereas
there are many first class growers, there
are only a few with the artistic tenn
perament essential for staging materials
for their most attractive effect. One
fault seems to be the desire to crowd
too much material into a given space.
Another is the inability to arrange
flowers attractively in the vases or
receptacleS and still another, the in
ability to appreciate the proper harmon
izing of colors. Most people have the
capacity for appreciating an attractive
exhibit after it is arranged. but very
few possess the ability to arrange one.
The writer is free to confess lack
of such ability but merely seeks to point
out the need of uncovering such talent
among the garden club members and
making use of it.
At the Narcissus show of the Takoma
Horticultural Club, large commercial
bulb growing firm staged an exhibit
which attracted universal attention.
The background was black velvet, the
vases were not crowded at all and
when one looked at the exhibits the
yellow and white blooms stood out
conspicuously and most attractively.
Not that every garden club could afford
such elaborate equipment, but 1t did
show how much proper staging goes
toward effective exhibiting.
Baskets of mixed flowers and of
flowers mixed with foliage add greatly
to the attractiveness of a flower show
They serve to break the monotony of
vase upon vase of the same number
and same arrangement of blooms and
always attract interest. Small, we'll
grown specimens often make as good,
if not better, basket material than do
large, diversified blooms, thus enabling
the gardener to exhibit in both basket
and straight vase classes.

ing the oil-bearing formation. This test
disclosed several beds of potash miner
ais, including two beds of high grade
sylvite potassium chloride, and was
followed by intensive drilling Of the
company's holdings, with such encour-
aging results that in 1880 a shaft was
put down and the first potash mine in
the United States opened. AS a proof
o. the field, the Geological Survey calls
attention to the fact that the United
states Potash Co, of New Mexico, in the
first year Of its operation, ending in
March, shipped $4,000 tons Of potash to
numerous plants in the East, where it
was used by different fertilizer mixing
companies. This first year of produe-
ton from the first mine in operation
was Suf1lcient to amount to about per
cent of the national requirements.
Government geologists recognized dec
AIDES ago that the formations in the
Permian Basin were similar to those
in Germany and there were probabili-
ties that an investigation would estab-
llsh the presence of potash.
Large Deposit in Texas.
The most favorable prospects lie in
that sweep of open semi-desert country
between San Angelo, Tex, and Ros-
well, N. Mex, cut deep by the Pecos
River. The greater area is in Texas,
where there is no Government land,
put the best deposits that have been
found are in New Mexico on the public
domain, and the Government will share
IN money returns.
Four names are worthily associated
with the potash project-N. H. Darton
OF the Geological Survey, who made a
study Of the area and wrote a paper
on It's salt beds as early as 1918, be-
ing an authority on the geology of the
southwest, Mr.. Darton is now near
the retirement age and holds the longev-
lty among the 130 geologists of the
survey. G. r. Mansfield is in charge
OF the fertilizer group in the study of
minerals and was the administrative
officer in the potash search. F. c. CAL
