REPUBLICANS MAP
CAMPAIGN ISSUES
viii Hit Democratic Drift
to Left, Expenditures,
Speed of Passage.
~ the Associated Press.


House Republicans have concededly
encountered some difficulty in raising
issues for the coming congressional
campaign, but leaders have. decided
on one or two points Of attack.
Minority party chieftains indicted
today that unless new issues arise
they plan to concentrate upon as
serting a drift to the left by Demo-
Gratis, and attacking large expendi-
tures and the speed with which some
legislation has been considered.
Will Back Revenue Bill.
Most of the Democratic measures
Bhus far passed by the House have re-
ceived the support of a majority OF
the Republicans.
1t was disclosed today also that the
Republicans had agreed to support
the Democratic-formu $300,00O.-
600 revenue bill to be laid before the
House for passage next Tuesday.
The decision was reached yesterday
ht q party conference called by Rep
resentative Smell of New York, the
Republican leader While some op-
position was expressed to certain
items in the measure, Smell said his
party as a whole would support 1t.
Hit Small Consideration.
Smell Is having different members
watch Democratic legislation and the
methods the Democrats are using in
getting it through the House. AS a
party program the Republicans are
not attacking the legislative proposals
as such, but what they call the lack
OF consideration" important measures
such as the devaluation bill and the
e950,000,000 relief measure have re-
seived as they were rushed to passage.
Regardless of the success of the
Roosevelt program the same Repub-
ncans are confident they will recap
ture between 40 and 60 seats in the
November election.

The Home Gardener
Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for
Beautifying Surroundings of the Home.
BY ]. W. WELLINGTON.

ONE of the simplest operation!
in the garden are often the leas
understood and Standardized
~ perhaps because they are st
common and everyday. Deptf
of planting may be a vital factor ir
the success of many species. Straw
berries are often greatly harmed BY
too deep setting that tends to cover
the crown or center of the plant. AS
near as possible the plant should &C
back into the soil at about the same
level that it was in the nursery OF
plant bed. With plants that root
readily along the stem, as does the
temat to. depth makes less difference
but even with this vegetable too deer
planting will lretard its early develop.
fnent. san.
Another simple, but important ope-
ration in transplanting is the firmine
of the soil about the roots. This Is
easily accomplished by pressing with
the hands in the case of ANIMALS arlo
even with the sole of the shoe in the
case of trees and large plants. A
simple test of proper planting is to
give the plant slight upward pull
If it gives way with little resistance
it is not properly set. Firming the
soil brings the roots in close contact
with moisture which is first of AL
needed in the readjustment to the
new environment.
As!hrnost ssSdsnes have learned by
extftefiee, 1plRntS differ greatly IN
their capacity for re-establishment
Some, such as cucumbers and melons
are so difficult to handle that they
should be sown in small pots or boxes
and set out with a minimum of dis
turbance. Others. such as marigolds
and tomatoes are readily transplanted
The capacity for establishment Is
closely correlated with root develop
ment. Those with abundant lateral
roots generally are easily handled.
Cutworms.
CCARCELY has Winter departed be-
y fore the insects resume their
activities in Fostering the home
gardener. The cutWorm is one of the
earliest visitors because many of the
several kinds pass the Winter in the
soil The Department of Agriculture
in its leaf1et No. 2, entitled Cut
worms" in the garden, outlines prac-
tical control treatment for this
omniverous pest Essentially this con-
sists in spreading sweet poisoned
bran bait along the rows or near the
base of young plants. The worms
emerge from the soil at nightfall anc
are attracted to the bait. The
pamphlet mentioned contains the nee
essary formula and directions and
should be consulted.
The losses from cutworm injury in
the home garden are often more an
noying than actual, but it is highly
eXasperating after carefully nursing
a planting through the difficult stage
of starting to have it destroyed in
part by cutWorms.
The Vegetable Garden
PRACTICALLY all the vegetables
are ANIMALS and biennials, but
there is one notable exception,
asparagus. This plant requires three
or four years to attain full production
and, with reasonable care, remains
worth while for many years. Aspara-
gus deserves consideration in every

BANK CONTROL
To TIGHTEN
BY International News Service

ny news SeFNiCe
Federal regulation of financial
institutions over long-range
period discloses an apparent
trend. though gradual, toward a
department of banking headed by
a Cabinet officer or concentration
of control in the Federal Reserve
Board.
In the opinion of some high
officials, the banking functions of
the Government and the neces.
sity of stricter supervision over
the private banks are such as to
justify regulation by a separate d.
vision of the Government.
At present the Comptroller OF
the Currency has jurisdiction over
the national banks, the Federal
Reserve Board over State member
banks, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, to a lesser
extent, exercises regulation of ma
tional. Federal Reserve member
and State nonmember institu-
tionS.
Virtually all State banks will be-
come members of the Federal Re
serve System by July /, 1887, to
take advantage of deposit insur-
ance. That will absorb most
State banks into the reserve syS-
tenn.
Little consideration is given to
the proposal for abolishment of
the office of Comptroller of the
Currency and transferring its
functions to the FDIC or Fed.

of the Comptroller's office from
