Election of William Lemke to con-
gress races to place of power a
stormy petrol of North Dakota poll
tics.
Elected attorney general in 1920, he
was recalled in 1921 along with Gov
ernor Lynn j. Frazier and Commits
sioner of Agriculture John N. Hagen.
In 1926 he ran for the senate on the
Farmer-Labor ticket but was beaten.
Except for this one excursion into
foreign political waters he has always
been Nonpartisan and has been a
power in Nonpartisan conventions, al
though rarely successful. A fighter
from beginning to end, Lemke always
has battled for principle rather than
for his personal gain and as an attor-
ney has the reputation of handling
more cases for little or no fees than
any other in the state. He is the au-
thor Of the Frazier Bill to refinance
farm mortgages and made it one of
the issues OF his campaign. An indi-
vidualist, he was outspoken in his
support of Franklin d. Roosevelt for
president.

because each plant from seed would
differ from its fellows and one would
have a hodge podge result. Grocery
potatoes may be used for planting but
1t Is better to purchase known varieties
from the seed store because in most
cases these have been selected for free
dom from disease. AS to manner of
cutting, perhaps 1t matters but little,
but chunky pieces with two or three
eyes are very good.
The soil should be Spaded or plowed
deeply and well fertilized with / pound
of high-grade mixed fertilizer to each
35 or 40 square feet. This amountrefers
to standard grades and not to the more
modern 80 odd per cent materials
which must be used In much smaller
quantities. The fertilizers should be
spread before the final working of the
soil. Rows should be about 80 inches
apart and pieces of tuber IA to Is
inches apart in the row.
The plants come up strongly in two
weeks or SO, depending on temperature,
and, being in hills, culture is simple,
and usually for the Spring crop there is
no need of spraying at all
The potato grows vigorously and
uses up the fertilizer with the result
that the soil should be fertilized again
before the succeeding crop is planted
AS suggested, potatoes may be followed
with potatoes, but better yet with beans,
turnips or beets or with cover crop of

New potatoes taken directly from the

TRANSMITTING

Today's illustration is extremely
simple, a row of asparagus roots ready
for covering. Yet the view illustrates
one of the fundamental principles of
gardening that is, the proper distri-
button Of the roots at time of planting.
The roots easily might have been
jammed into a small hole and the
plants might have lived and after
awhile adjusted themselves to the
situation by sending out a new lot of
lateral roots. However, if planted
properly in the beginning, plants can
go ahead almost Immediately and as
q result one has a fine plant at the
close OF the growing season rather than
one that is fighting for existence.
Take fruit trees, for example. There
nave been many experiments on plant
ing, the results of which all favor some
care at planting. For example, some
years ago an orchardist in Texas
advocated that all the side roots be
cut off of young peach trees at time
of planting. The young tree could
then be set in a crow bar hole with
a minimum of effort Under the humid
conditions of where the orchardist
lived, the trees did survive and grow,
but when others in less favored eli
mates tried the system. they often met
with 100 per cent failure. 1t is true
that one can go too far to the other
extreme and be uselessly careful, but
of the two contingencies careful plant
ing is the better The home gardener
with only a tree or two or a few dozen
plants can spare the time to be care
full in transplanting. In Spring there
is no way to forecast the coming Sum-
mer. If the weather is right, plants
often survive even with rather careless
planting, but if followed by such a
Summer as 1880, poor planting would
mean almost certain loss.

GARDEN NOTES

A week or two ago, something was
said in this column of the fact that
Georgia peach orchards largely had
escaped the freeze of March simply
by being unusually backward in bloom
ing. This was indeed a strange situa-
ton in view of the warm Winter pre-
ceding the March freeze. The Mary
land Fruitgrower offers the interesting
and plausible explanation that the
Georgia peach trees had not been ex-
posed to sufficient cold up to the date
of the March freeze to break the rest
period of the buds. This is not an un-
common occurrence in Southern Cali
fornia, but certainly is a singular phe-
Georgia has fine crop of peaches as
result of this happy circumstance, it
will be a happy ending.
On the other hand, in our local gar
dens, plants such as hyacinths and
narcissus, which ordinarily endure low
temperature with safety, were injured
badly because they had not had suf-
ficient cold to keep them dormant or
to harden off the foliage that had ap-
peared above the soil,
This is a good time to prune the
roses, for dangerous blasts of cold are
rather certain to be past. Save the
strong young growth and cut away the
weak and dead wood
Sweet cherries are one of the most
difficult fruit plants to get established
successfully apparently because the
trees are easily injured during the
period between digging in the nursery
and planting in the orchard. Several
lots of sweet cherries, planted at the
New York Experiment Station for COM
parison, showed survival ranging all the
way from zero to 100 per cent. The
home gardener who was unfortunate
enough to have bought trees from the
nursery with the zero per cent trees
was simply out of luck. A Canadian
investigator found that pruning the top
of sweet cherries at planting time in
creases survival somewhat. On the
other hand, coating of trees with paraf-
fin had no beneficial effect. Two-year-
old trees showed somewhat better sur
vival than one-year- trees. Certainly
when the home gardener receives a
cherry tree or, as a matter of fact,
any living plant from the nursery, he
should plant it as soon as possible and
not add to the chances of poor results.

THE GARDEN CLUBS

At the next meeting of the Mont
gomery Suburban Garden Club, on the
evening of April at the Somerset
School, F. w. Oldenburg. agronomist of
the Extension Service of the University
of Maryland, will present the second
lecture in course on Soils and Ferti-
lizing." These talks are very timely
and pertinent as the welfare of the
garden lies primarily in the proper
handling and treating Of the soil. The
Montgomery Club has adopted the wise
policy of encouraging delinquent
members to again become of good
standing. Dues in arrears are to be
remitted to any member who pays his
1882 dues by May 6. Last Sunday, at
1:30 pm, President James C. Dulin,
taking part in garden program over
station WMAL, briefly discussed some
of the clubs more important activities
and plans for the future.
At the meeting of the Takoma Horti-
cultural Club, March %, DR.. D. N
Shoemaker, vegetable specialist in the
Department of Agriculture, discussed
the work that might be done in the
home vegetable garden at this season
The soil, he stated, should be prepared
thoroughly and he cited the painstaking
care employed by English gardeners
where the soil frequently is dug to two
spades depth. A Takoma resident who
followed this plan in preparing lawn
had the finest lawn in the suburb for
several years. DR.. Shoemaker added
that most of the vegetables, such as
radish, cabbage, peas and beetS, which
came to us from northern Europe, can
be planted safely at this time and en-
phasized the fact that garden peas must
be sown early in order to reap good
harvests. In order to obtain success
sion of peas, DR.. Shoemaker recon-
mended planting two or three varieties
at one time and suggested Laxtonian,
Thomas Laxton and Telephone as a de-
sirable combination. These are all
wrinkled seeded varieties and yield g
sweeter product than do the round
seeded types such as Alaska. Answer
ing a question in regard to lima beans
DR.. Shoemaker stated that the large
seeded bush forms do not often yield
satisfactory crops in this locality and
suggested using the pole varieties in
stead High temperatures seems tc
cause abortion of the flowers in the
bush types.

ment, delivered a very interesting ad-
dress on the wild flowers of oregon,

ASPARAGUS.

According to an account in Sturte-
wants Notes on Edible Plants" as
paragus was we'll known to the Romans
as early as 200 BIC. Being of such
ancient culture, it is little wonder that
there has accumulated such a wealth
of information as to its growth. In
the first place, asparagus is a tremen-
dously vigorous species. In almost
every country where 1t has been grown
asparagus has become naturalized so
that plants may be found growing in
the wild as well as gardens. This is
true in the vicinity of Washington.
Birds are undoubtedly factor in its
dissemination.
Many different practices in asparagus
planting have been advocated up
through the years, one of the most
peculiar of which was the extremely
deep planting of the roots, 18 inches
to feet. Probably asparagus grew
well despite this depth of soil cover
rather than because of it. Certainly in
the heavy clay so often found in local
gardens such deep planting would be
almost disastrous. The Illustration ac-
companying today's column shows a
trench of six to nine inches, which is
by far a more sensible planting pro-
gram.
Asparagus ordinarily is propagated
from seed, and this means that each
plant is different from its fellows.
Hence when one speaks of Mary Wash
ington asparagus he is speaking of a
uniform type rather than distinct
variety, such as Stayman Winesap ap
Piles or Red Radiance rose, which are
Simply divisions of one original plant
in fact, the New JerSay Station has
made some progress in selecting high
yielding plants and increasing them by
divisions of the root. The seed of as
paraguS is carried on one plant and
the pollen bearing flowers on another.
The two types commonly are desig-
mated as male and female plants, and
considerable evidence is now accumu-
lated that the male plants are more
productive, possibly because their en-
ergy is not dissipated in seed produc-
tion. In California asparagus seed
lings often reach towering age in the
first year, and the growers are enabled
to separate the plants according to sex
before planting in the permanent beds.
In this region no concerted effort Is
made to separate plants with regard
to sex.
One-year-o roots now are recog-
nized as better for planting than q
year or older roots, possibly because the
young plants can be lifted with a
minimum loss of roots and hence
become re-eStablished more quickly.
It is not difficult at all to grow plants,
and rather satisfactorily since the
gardener can select the largest for his
garden and discard the rest.
The bugaboo of asparagus growing
in this region is the asparagus beetle,
