After surveying gardens for dec
ade, the home gardener comes to the
following brace Of conclusions:
!. That comparative failure arises
mostly from lack of money.
2. And lack of fertilizer.
So there Is just really one reason,
after all, the well known root OF all
evil, so-called.
Let us insist on comparative failure.
The happy discovery has been made
by some one or other that there is no
absolute failure in this happy work.
If one packet Of seed fails another
will germinate well.
If ten rosebushes are set out, nine
will survive.
One evergreen of a number may go
brown, but the remainder will thrive
like the famous green bay tree.

Where most small gardens fall down,
just as small gardens, is in lack Of
bloom.
This lack Of bloom arises from two
main causes:
1. Lack of diversified plants.
2. Lack Of fertilizer.
The very person who realizes these
needs will permit his home place to
show their lack, largely because he
may not have money to put on it, or
not sufficient urges to put so much
money into it.
One must garden for a long time
before coming to sufficient realization
of such lacks, of such needs.
They must become actual realities,
rather than theories.
The theory of too little money Is
very well known, and especially in
the garden, but sometimes it takes
many years to beat into many heads
the essential knowledge of the actual
lack of it as applied-or not applied
Many home gardeners spend their
time looking around them and max
ing comparisons with others, often
lamenting what seems to them the
superior condition of other gardens,
without once admitting to themselves
that it is money, in most cases, that
does it.
This is a very actual condition, of
course, but 1t requires a theoretical
acceptance of the simple fact before
one is In position to go and do like
wise. And then, of course, comes the
money.
1t is this money side to the garden
which some will say comes first, but
it does not, the actual need for
spending it must be grasped.
Then the money side must be taken
care Of, but not before.
y n y
The necessity for spending more
money than most home gardeners do
is paramount 1t is all very we'll to
talk of buying a few packets of seed,
and thus growing thousands OF
plants. Mostly that sort of talk is
akin to that of the ambitious person
bits and ultimately selling them by
the thousands at handsome profit,
or who thinks that a pair of guppieS,
small tropical fishes, can be turned
into bags of gold by any one who
chooses.
There are few persons, of course,
who can do it, but for every one who
does there are hundreds who make q
failure at it.
The best way to get a satisfactory
home garden is to spend plenty of
money on it. If one cannot spend
the money, then he may do very well,
indeed, as many do, and make quite
a show, but he will know better than
any visitor just what the garden
lacks, and how it could be remedied
by more and better plants.

Terrorism in Cuba.

There is an undoubtedly sinister
aspect. immeasurable in possibilities,
to the series of attacks. accompanied
by the firing of shots. to which
American embassy officials in Ha-
vana, and the embassy premises
themselves, have recently been sub
jected. 1t is equally manifest that
the outrages are part and parcel of a
concerted movement designed to reg
lister hostility to the United States.
Last Sunday unknown persons poured
fusillade of bullets into Ambassador
Caffery's residence, on the outskirts
of the city, seriously wounding a Gu
ban soldier on guard duty there. On
Monday four men attacked the auto
mobile of Mr.. Matthews, first secre-
tary of the embassy. and warned the
chauffeur that both he and Mr.. Mat
thews must leave Cuba within two
weeks. The terrorists, who appeared
to be types of the radical youths con-
spicuous in contemporary political tur-
moil in the island, were armed with
revolvers and smashed the windshield
of the embassy automobile before per-
mitting it to go on its way.
While this incident was in progress,
Ambassador Caffery was revealing for
the first time that his home had been
the target of an attack about three
weeks ago. A dozen shots we're fired
at it from speeding automobile. A
rifle bullet mark is still visible on the
veranda
1t is known to the Cuban govern
ment authorities that a plot against
Mr.. Caffery and other American Off
cials has been under way for some
time. 1t is supposed to have its
origin in Communist and other quar-
ters filled with animosity toward for
mer Ambassador Welles and his sue
cessor. An impression exists that the
plotters' purpose is to provoke sit
uation that will lead to American
intervention as the only possible So
luton for Cubas distressing problems.
Unquestionably, any such catas-
trophe as the assassination of officials
of the United States at the hands of
Cuban terrorists would automatically
produce situation of which the
United States would necessarily have
to take grave notice. President Men
dieta and Col Batista, chief of the
army, being thoroughly alive to those
possibilities, are leaving no stone un-
turned to run to earth the miscreants
whose mistaken zeal in seeking to
right Cuba's fancied wrongs could
easily plunge the island into incalcu-
liable misery and political strife.
In addition to safeguarding Amer
lean officials, the Havana authorities
are considering drastic measures to
suppress a campaign of terrorism
which seems to be island-wide.
Bombing materials have been seized
in Havana and elsewhere, indicating
the existence of organized plans to
indulge in excesses against law and
order and life and property.
Besides evidences of anti-Amer-
icanism, these various developments
are signs of factional political oppo-
They synchronize. possibly only by
coincidence with the recent triumphal
welcome accorded former President
self-exile in Mexico.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Verbal Conflicts.
Examinations now are due,
The students say it's tough.
Sometimes they know the answer true
Sometimes they have to bluff.
Some when questions they select
With answers too astute,
They cannot give replies direct,
They must cir-cum- -lo-cute.
And in the controversial fray
When arguments are rough
You may be thankful for the day
When you were taught to bluff.
