CULTIVATION

Considerable has been written In the
past few years concerning the merits OF
soil cultivation In the growing Of gar
den crops with some rather convincing
evidence presented TO suggest that the
only real benefit from tillaee u the kill
Ing Of veeds. However, such Z theory
Is di1cult for the experieneed gardener
70 eccept, especially Whon It involves
stt6. clayey soils and small plants.
What gardener has not seen the favor
able response Of seedlings TO softening
Of the soil along the rows. And as far
- weed control goes, there Is no easier
control than that Of stirring the upper
two or three inches Of soil. Deep tillage
can easily do more harm than good BY
destroying feeding roots, but shallow
tillage, II continued steadily, will cause
no such injury.
Then, too, there is the matter Of aer-
alton Of the soil. The admission Of air
tends to keep the soil fresh and sweet
and favorable for plant growth. All
told, there appear to be no sound argu-
ments In favor of changing present
practices OF garden care and 1t Is safe
to assume that the gardener who culti-
Yates his soil will continue to grow the
best crops
Certain exceptions may be made in
the case Of mulching with peat moss or
with paper. In these cases, the soil be-
low the mulch remains soft and porous
and In measure resembles that be-
meath cultivated soil. Peat moss mulch
Is very useful about perennial plants
which are SO planted that it is difficult
to TILL the intervening soil. Peat moss
should, however. not be considered plant
food. but should be supported with a
regular fertilizing program.
Evening star., 1933-06-18
PLANT ADAPTATION

Home gardeners learn BY experience
that certain plants do well In their soil
while others are difncult and almost i'm
possible to grow. For example, iris,
peonies, roses, narcissus, gladiolus and
dahlias are found In many local gardens,
whereas sweet peas, china asters and
snapdragons, equally lovely plants, are
rarely seen. Sweet peas, like edible
peas. are a cool weather plant and too
frequently local Springs turn quickly to
Summer conditions Furthermore, Ger
tain organisms which attack pea roots
are favored by warm soil.
With asters. the mainstay Of many
Northern hower gardens, diseases are
also inhibiting factors TO success In this
locality. Sometimes on new soil a home
gardener will have moderate success
with asters for a season or two and
then arrive at q stage where good
growth seems impossible. The aster is
beset by two powerful enemies, one Of
which, a Fusarium wilt, lives in the
soil and the other, yellows, Is brought
to the aster plant from perennial daisies
and other weeds by leaf hopper insect.
The wilt disease may be brought into
the garden on aster seed. making it ad-
visable to soak aster seeds for one-half
hour in to 1000 solution of mercury
chloride. The seed so treated should be

THE VIOLAS

Home gardeners, as they become
veterans IN flower growing. like to
reach out into new fields and at least
try certain new plants. Violas appear
to be a group well worthy Of greater
attention by local gardeners. Their
varieties and culture were the subject
Of most interesting talk given before
the April meeting Of the Takoma Hor-
ticultural Club by w. A. Wheeler Of
the Department Of Agriculture. He
pointed out that violas include three
well known groups O the violets,
(2) the pansies and 90 the violas
proper, often known as tufted pansies.
While the flowers Of the true violas
are not as large Is our common
pansies. the colors are particularly
clear and distinct and the bloom is
abundant and extends over a long
period.
There are many named varieties Of
violas, perhaps the best known Of which
Is Jersey Gem, the color Of which Is
pure violet without any trace Of
shading. The flowers are borne on
good stems about six inches in length
and. where provided with a sunny ex-
posure and good soil, blooming con-
tinues firm May to the end Of the
growing season.
Mr.. Wheeler pointed out that Uolas
grow well IN any good soil and respond
readily to applications Of bone meal
or well rotted manures. Peat moss was
reported as highly useful in conserva-
ton Of soil moisture, in preventing
soil washing and keeping the flowers
clean and attractive. Any slight tend
ency for peat moss to increase soil
acidity may be Offset by the addition
Of small amount of lime, either as
finely ground limestone or as hydrated
lime. Mr.. Wheeler added that peren-
NAL violas are excellent in the rock
garden and for edging beds and bor-
derS. Among worthwhile varieties are
Jersey Gem, Jersey Jewel and Hunter
comhe Purple.

SAYS GEORGIA WON'T
HAVE REPEAL SESSION

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 17-Gov. Eugene
Talmadge of Georgia said here yester-
day he would not call q special ses-
sion Of the Georgia Legislature to con-
slider repeal Of the eighteenth amend
ment. The Legislature Is not sched-
uled to convene again until 1885.
The Governor said he did not con-
slider that repeal Of the prohibition law
constitutes an emergency"
Georgia" he asserted, was one OF
the dry States before the national pro-
hibitton law was enacted. The Legis-
lature this year had the question Of
repeal before 1t and tabled 1t.
when the legislature Is called In

and the legislators would be likely to
stay In session until Christmas"

York two days ago to place stone
from Fort Wymberly, Ga, at the base
of Liberty Flagpolc, in the center OF
City Hall Park, returned home today.

DOROTHY PERKINS
ROSE.

At the time Of writing. this old re-
liable and beautiful climbing rose is
breaking into bloom. The pink blooms
may be seen adorning homes in all sec
tions Of the city and suburbs, attesting
TO its universal popularity. Unfortu-
rately Dorothy Perkins has one major
weakness. a strong tendency to mildew,
which affects both leaves and blooms.
David v. Lumsden, speaking on rose
growing before the Takoma Horticul-
turl Club, stated that this mildewing
tendency Is associated with locations
and that where the climate Is less
humid no trouble IL experienced. He
went ca to say that frequent busting
or spraying With sulphur preparations,
such - colloidal sulphur, would control
mildew on Dorothy Perkins even IN un-
favorable climates. This rose, because
Of Its late appearance, natural beauty
and profuseness Of bloom, Is worthy Of
protective effort. 1t Is likely that In
the near future some rose breeder will
give US q Dorothy Perkins like rose
with mildew resistant foliage and blooms
Until that time, home gardeners will
not likely be content to throw the pres
ent Dorothy into discard.

HYDRANCEA COLOR

The semi-hardy hydrangeas are now
coming into bloom with their brilliant
pink or blue flowers It is an inter-
esting fact that color of this type Of
bydrangea can be regulated to a GER
tain extent by the kind of fertilizer or
soil amendment applied. Lime tends
to develop the pink coloration while acid
promoting materials such as aluminium
sulphate and ammonium sulphate tend
TO induce bright blue coloration. Am
n,onium sulphate Is also q valuable
source Of nitrogen for the plants, stim-
ulattng their growth and Towering
Aluminium sulphate solution, made by
dissolving one ounce of commercial ma
terial in one gallon Of water, may be
applied to the soil about the plants
every week or so during the growing
season. The solution should not be
brought in contact with the foliage
Some years ago, the American Horticul-
tural Society published . bulletin Eff
fects Of Aluminium Sulphate on Rhodo-
dendrons." by DR.. F. v. Coville, in which
was set forth valuable information on
maintaining soil acidity.
With treatment, hydrangea plants
can be gradually brought to produce
either pink or blue flowers as desired.

Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS

First. Give your partner all possible
scope to raise you in no trumps on
his second response. Naturally II his
first response Is two no trumps, you
have no earthly reason to show your
suit and can fearlessly bid three no
trumps. Only If he then carries the
bidding further as part Of a slam try
need you mention your suit. Then
bid five in 1t to mark 1t rs OF more
than four cards and headed by tops.
Second If. however, your partner
first takes out in suit, you still want
him to have the opportunity to raise
you from two no trumps to three II
this hand permits 1t. If his suit is Of
lower rank than yours. everything Is
easy. Your first rebid is two no trumps,
hoping he can take this to three and
thus render it unnecessary for you to
reveal your suit. Should he be 50
weak that his next bid is three In
his suit, that chance is gone, and you
now have q choice of bids.
(a) If your hand is strong enough
to play for game in no trumps though
your partner is weak and his strength
is presumably all in one suit, bid three
no trumps. Accept the responsibility.
If your partners suit IS a minor, he
will pass: If a major, he may still rebid
his suit to four.
(bl If your hand is so near mini
mum that, after partners rebid has
proclaimed weakness, game contract
seems .too hazardous, you may now
sign off at partial score. If your sup
port for your partners suit is as good
as K X x or Xxx X, pass. II, how
ever, you have only AK or XXX or Q 10
for him, probably a partial score
is safer in your suit than his: so bid
three of your suit He will probably
pass this. However, If your suit is q
major, it may meet an unexpected fit
in his hand, and he may be able to
raise you to four. He knows 1t is q
strong suit of at least five cards. With
extreme length in his own weak suit.
this knowledge might also enable him
to bid four in that suit provided 1t were
major. Tomorrow I will give in
stances of these contingencies, illus
trated by different responding hands.
