Crocuses to Spangle Lawns

Crocuses~ scattered over the lawn,
spangling It with the bubble-like
blooms Of yellow. white and purple,
before the grass has started to grow,
give one Of the most delightful Of
spring effects. But to maintain this
effect requires annual replacement.
However, crocuses In quantity are
cheap enough 90 that this delightful
planting may be maintained.
Like all bulbs. the crocus must
mature its foliage In order to mature
the bulb for bloom the following year
and to produce its normal increase.
This Is impossible II the lawn Is to be
kept slightly. The crocus develops its
bloom after the foliage develops. After
the bloom fades, the long. marrow,
grass-like leaves develop and they do
not mature, turn yellow, and disap-
pear until well into May. II the lawn
were to remain unmowed until the
crocuses had completed their cycle Of
growth, the lawn mower wouldn't
cope with 1t and 1t would be neces-
sary to call In q man with a scytte.
A neat lawn and permanent crocus
display are impossible. This Is the
reason that to have these bright flow
ers Of early spring In the lawn they
must be planted annually.
It Is merely necessary to lift small
flap Of sod, tuck the bulb under it. and
firm the sod back in place without
disfiguring the lawn. The crocus, how
ever, In beds and bordered where 1t
may mature naturally is more per-
manent ornament. Groups here and
there win brighten an entire garden
before the other occupants are fairly
wakened from their winter sleep.
Beautiful combinations with other
early spring flowers may be worked
out with the crocuses. One Of the
most attractive Is with the very early
dwarf purple iris and yellow crocuses.
The crocuses come before the irises.

TUPELo TURNS DOUBTFUL

Tupelo Miss. was the first city to contract with
the Tennessee Valley Authority for electric power,
and is now getting that service. But Tupelo Is be-
GINNING to doubt that IVA enterprise is going to
he an unadulterated boon. The Tupelo Daily News
racentIv under the heading ''TVA Experiments May
Re Carried Too FAR prints the following editorial:
'Now we are told that the Tennessee valley Au-
thoritv will promote the new city OF Norris, 10 DC
located adjacent to the Norris dam on the Tennes-
see river; that houses will be built for the workers.
that factories will be erected to give them employ
ment and that department store will be eStao-
lished to sell them merchandise at cost
eft is possible that we do not understand the
purpose of the IVA, and that it was really de-
signed as a great social experiment, rather than
as q demonstration of the value of cheap electric
tv and means of supplying cheap fertilizers to
farmers.
eve know that the original sponsors of the de-
velopment were not socialists and that they never
intended that we should have here in America a
little Soviet Qof our own. But this is an age of
transition. and we naturally do not know how far
the minds of the men who head the experiment
have travelled.
PERSONALLY we still believe in individual intia-
tive in private and corporate ownership of the or
binary agencies of business, and we are not going
to enthuse over the determination of the IVA to
start department store, to be operated without
profit
ut is our candid conviction that this is just
little bit too much of good thing-and that such
excursions into the realms of private business may
wreck the whole IVA program."-Public Service

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
GENERAL GOES TOO FAR

| There seems to be a widespread and growing
feeling that General johnson went little too far
in his seeming efforts to attain the sensational
during his speech-making seance in Washington
last week.
Addressing group of business and Industrial
leaders who had gathered in the national capital
for the purpose of studying the NRA codes, the
General is reported to have reached a climax in
his dictatorial declarations when he fell into the
vernacular and shouted. 'You amt never seen any
thing YETI
To men who have been skating over very thin
ice in their business affairs over a period of the
past three or four years, many of them in the red
almost to the exhaustion of their reserves, such
promise from the so-called recovery chief was not
particularly encouraging.
One correspondent, writing for the Greensboro
Daily News says the reaction of the business men
might best be described manifesting "conster-
nation" and Decentralization"
That is splendid contribution for the General
to have made to the morale of the American en-
ployer at this critical hour. Explaining what some
of the latest demands of the NRA would mean,
The News correspondent said:
"a 25 per cent increase in labor cost would, for
example, make a pair of overshoes sell for 81,
more than double the price that prevailed year
or so ago. The proposal contemplated greatly in
creased costs to the consumer in the end there
would be consumers strike, which in turn would
lead to unemployment, and here would be wit
messed once more the vicious circle.
There was the warning, too that the penal
of the various codes would be invoked
there was to be bigger blue eagle, with much
sharper talons to pierce the quvering flesh OF the
hapIess business man who failed for any reason to
conform. while the prospect looked all the more
bleak when General Johnson suggested the posi-
bilty of an epidemic of strikes in the spring
"The future of this country is likewise filled
with uncertainty A few more moves to the left,
and American business men will find themselves
virtually deprived of what they thought they hal
left. without due process of law, their remaining
business in charge of outsiders.
There is the thought at the moment that Cen
eraI Johnson has placed before American industry
in the new program as to wages and hours the
impossible but that he will be obliged to see the
thing through now. or will have to go himself. Il

ABOUT SIGNING PETITIONS

1t has often been said that most people will sign
any old sort of petition without paying any atten-
ton to what it is all about
Which may or may not be an argument against
the use of petitions in connection with political or
legislative business
There is no doubt, however, that we are noto-
riously reckless in the matter of signing petitions
The matter was, put to test in an ingenious
way in midwest college last week, and when the
contents of the document were made public 1t was
found that 153 students and three members of the
faculty had signed an agreement to commit suicide
by decaptation on February 27.
II the petition is more effective than many
we sign, however, there will be no harm DONE
Seriously, however, we cannot be too particular
about what sign. mans signature should &C
tuaIly be what it is supposed to be-his sign and
seal his pledge and bond, for that to which it may
be attached.
Certainly it is not something to be banded
about careessly at the behest of every Tom, Dick
and Harry 1t should be the emblem of his given
word and should be held as sacred and inviolate
as that word of honor-Rock Hill Is. Co. Herald.
