STRANGE RUSSIANS TO
QUIT CANADA IN SEARCH
FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

| Washington.-Weary of the religi-
GUS persecution which they charge to
Canadian authorities and have public
ly resented by parading in the nude,
$4,000 members of the strange Rus
sian sect of Dukhobortsi are planning
to leave their Saskatchewan homes
for the wilds Of Paraguayan Chaco.
Preparations for the future mass
migration will be started Monday in
New York. DR.. Enrique Bordenave,
the minister from Paraguay, will dis
,, cuss plans there for a delegation of
charlottesville advance guard which
will select locality for the new
colony.
Heatened by reports of the success
of the Mennonite experiment in the
Chaco, which has grown in 10 years
to community of 5000, and guar
anteed complete religious freedom by
Paraguayan law, the Dukhobors have
decided to rebuild in an even stranger
land the life they started IS years
ago in Canada.
They are remnants of a sect expell-
ed from Russia about 1885. Literally,
the name means spirit wrestlers."
Some went to Canada and others to
Cyprus. Dukhobors have no stated
plcaes or ceremonies of worship, no
holy days and no ordained ministry.
They deny the divinity of Christ, and
give mystical Interpretation to the
| scripture.
Frequent clashes with Canadian
authorities have kept these people be-
fore the public in recent years. Their
retaliation has taken the form of
nude professions in public places and
has resulted in arrest of some of
their leaders.
Several months ago a representa-
tive of the Saskatchewan colony con-
ferred with Harry A. Dae-Eaglish,
Paraguayan consul in Los Angeles,
concerning the prospects for settling
in the Chaco. The offer was referred
to the Paraguayan government
through the legation here, and de-
cision reached to afford the future
immigrants the advantages of large
area far from the war zone where
Paraguay and BOLIVIA are struggling
for mastery Of the untamed wilder
ness.
DR.. Bordenave said his government
would become the peaceful invasion
Of the Dukhobors, just as it did the
Mennonites. They see in the Chaco,
he said, an opportunity to cultivate
the fruits and vegetables which COM
prise their entire diet.
The land would be purchased from
private interests at prices ranging
from two to three dollars an acre.
The Dukhobors are said to have ar
rived IS years ago in Canada owning
nothing but the ragged clothes they
wore, and now they claim aggregate
cash assets Of more than $4,000, 900.
This money would go with them to
Paraguay.
The governemnt there, in addition
to religious liberty, guarantees for
eign settlers and their children ex-
emption from military service and
/ freedom from taxation for 10 cars

M their own rose plants from
vi cuttings taken from their
own or neighbors' plants
Are these plants as desirable as those
grown by a nurseryman by budding
or grating on understocks? This
question has been debated in garden
clubs and in garden papers for sew
eral years. but never comes to a COM
plete solution. partly because there is
something to be said on both sides oil
the argument, In favor OF own
rooted roses. it may be said that their
primary cost is lower and they can
not send up wild suckers from the
base. because the roots are, OF course.
the same as the top. Too. few va
rieties do not unite strongly with the
usual commercial understocks.
In favor of grated and budded
plants. it may be safely said that they
make larger plants more rapidly than
do cuttings. because the roots are
already one year old at the time OF
grating. The understocks selected
because Of their inherent vigor, make
larger and stronger root systems.
which are better able to take up more
water and minerals. Certain varie-
ties which grow weakly on their own
roots are greatly stepped UP in vigor
when placed on strong understocks.
AS a detriment. the gardener must
constantly watch for root suckers
which. If permitted to grow, will draw
the strength which should go to the
improved variety and ultimately re-
place it.
Some concrete evidence in favor OF
budded roses was secured some years
GO by the United States Department
OF Agriculture at Arlington Farm,
Virginia. Seven varieties Of we'll
known garden roses were grown on
their own roots and on various I'M
derstocks. On the best understood
the yield Of blossoms was almost
twice that of the cutting grown plants.
Practically speaking. these records
indicate that grated plants are well
worth while, but when 1t comes to a
question of cutting plants or not. OF
course the verdict favors the cuttings,
and it Is certain that they will always
be grown by amateur gardeners.
There is a certain fascination in
growing ones own plants that only
the true gardener can describe.
The Abelia.
GUNNER towering shrubs are all too
- rare. but they do, for the most part,
compensate for the scarcity in num-
bers by singularly long blooming
periods. Buddleia. Rose Of Sharon,
crepe myrtle and abelia all remain in
bloom for several weeks. The abelia.
for example, flowers almost continu-
ously from June to November. The
flowers are not notably conspicuous
but are dainty and attractive in their
white flushed pink hue. 1t seems
strange that the species name should
be grandiflora, for the flowers are any
thing but large. Abelia has gained
rapidly in popularity in the Washing
ton area, and may be seen in many
Of the public parks as well as in pri-
vate gardens. The foliage has red
dish cast that adds to its attractiveness.

China Asters.
THANKS to plant kbreeders working

THANKS to plant breeders working
jointly with plant disease special
lists. this fine group of Summer an
nuals is staging a come back after be-
ing downed by twot very serious dis
eases. namely. astert yellows and aster
wilt. Not so many years ago the China
aster was one of the mainstays of the
Summer garden and the beautiful
white. pink. red and purple flowers
were highly esteemed both in the gar
den and for decoration in the home.
Gradually 1t became almost impossible
to grow good ssters. particularly in old
garden soils: the plants became stunted
and turned yellesw about the time
Towering commenced. The yellows
disease is conceded the most serious
enemy Of the asGer. 1t is caused by
virus. one Of those organisms too
small to be seen through the micro
scope but. nevertheless. dreadfully de-
structive to animal and plant life.
The aster yello~s virus has now been
found in many weeds and in 2o-odd
garden flowers, including pyrethrum,
Shasta daisy. gaillardia. marigold.
coreopsis, phlox. !mignonette and sweet
alyssum. These other plants do not
suffer as severely as the China aster
but are reservoirs of infection from
which the gray sSter leafhopper draws
the infection and carries it to the
China aster. Control is at once obvi-
Gus but difficult That Is. astors should
be isolated from other garden plants
and this has tbeen actually accom-
plished by groFing plants in cheese
cloth cages. I'm the open garden,
some good may be done by repeated
spraying of sster plants with nicotine
sulphate or pyrethrum preparations,
which repel the leaf hoppers.
The second disease. wilt, caused by
a soil-inhabittng fungus, is not SC
insidious. It, can be controlled by
planting cleans seed in clean soil. but
better yet, plant breeders have de-
veloped varieties which are sufficiently
resistant to grow vigorously in infested
soil. These strains are now being
offered for sale by seedmen. and II
would seem that the wilt disease may
soon be considered a matter OF history

leaves. II Is difficult TO believe that
IN very stiff clays, such as constitute
many Of the local gardens, that cul-
tivation has no specific value aside
from weed control. The gardener
that practices shallow tillage Is GER
tainly doing no harm, and until the
merit Of the scraping practice Ia more
universally tested. the writer believes
that cultivation Is still the best pro-
cedure to follow.

TRUMPET vines, with their orange

species. stated in Bailey's Encyclopedia
of Horticulture to be native from
Pennsylvania south to Florida, has

has been offered by the trade. Like
many other native plants, the trumpet
vine is singularly free from disease
and insect pests and makes q good
cover for arbors.
One garden author suggests that
hollyhocks be sown in stu rather
than being trsnsplanted. The plants
develop a top root which interferes
with easy moving.
Nitrate of soda Is usually applied
to the soil In crystalline form. but,
for quicker results, it Is altogether
feasible to dissolve some of the ma
terial in water and apply this solu-
ton. A rounded tablespoonful to 2
gallons OF water makes an effective
nutrient solution and will force porch
box and basket plants into rich
green growth if used occasionally in
place of water.

ALEXANDRIAN TO BUILD
HOMES IN HYBLA VALLEY
New Development to Permit
Owners to Enjoy Some Measure
of Life in Country.

A new development Of homes. with
lots large enough to permit the owner
10 enjoy some measure of life in the
country. will be started shortly by v.
Ward Boswell, Alexandria real estate
man, in Hybla Valley. three miles
south of Alexandria on the Washing
ton Richmond Highway.
This development will differ from
the usual subdivision in that each
home site will contain an acre or q
half acre of ground, enabling the
owner to raise chickens, his own
vegetables and fruits and yet be rea-
sonably close to the heart of the city.
The development will be highly re-
stricted and streets will be laid out so
az to make an attractive community.
Boswell said there are approximately
400 of the large lots included in the
development. He plans to begin the
erection of several five and seven
room brick houses as soon as the
work Of subdividing the property Is
completed.

TW0-FOLD OBJECT
OF F. H. A. IS TOLD
Must Avoid Fund Hazard,
Yet Aid Building in All
Locations.

With operative builders responsible
for approximately 30 per cent of the
residential construction in the coun-
try, new financing facilities are now
provided for such building develop
ment through the provisions OF the
national housing act, according 10
Acting Federal Housing Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald.
The relation of the housing act
to operative builders Is Of two-fold
Importance. the acting administrator
pointed out. It fulfllls its obligation
to promote new construction. thereby
revivinc the operative building pro-
fession, and at the same time sets up
standards and mortgage regulations
to eliminate activity by such operators
who, in the past, often INDUCED In
gross speculation.
Two Factors Balance.
1.-THE Housing Administration" said
Mr.. Mcdonald. in insuring mortgages
must hazard funds paid to it as in
surance premiums. 1t has, however,
the further obligation Of promoting
new construction in all suitable loca-
tions for all classes for which ade-
ouate provision has not been made.
While it must, therefore, on the one
hand hold out all reasonable help to
those who seek to fulfill the need
for housing, it has on the other the
responsibility of avoiding the hazards
arising from speculative financing.
overbuilding. waste of land utilization,
extravagant utilities and shoddy con-
struction.
with these detectives in mind, the
Housing Administration seeks to en-
courage that type Of operative builder
who looks upon the production OF
homes as manufacturing and mer-
chandising process of high social sig
nifcance and who, preferably, assumes
the responsibility for the product.

the land to the disposal of completed
dwelling units.
Seeks Waste Elimination.
1T seeks to encourage the creation
Of dwellings. the stability of which
will be assured by the protection af-
forded against inharmonious land
Uses. by thoughtful group planning.
and by sound. attractive. economical
building. 1t desires to see the elimi-
nation of waste in housing production
by organized construction and by the
installation of streets and utilities OF
a character suitable to calculable de-
mands of planned neighborhoods."
Mortgage insurance as provided by
the national housing act is available
In operative builders with the follow
ing provisions: No mortgage may ex-
coed $4,000 in principal amount; no
mortgage may exceed 80 per cent OF
appraised value of the property; none
may have a maturity to exceed 20
wears. Such mortgages may be placed

Each dwelling must be on separate
plot of land, must be capable Of being
separately owned. and must be
financed as separate unit.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-07-27

and one big obstacle to successful
aster production will be removed.
Green Manures.
THE suburban gardener, with suff1-
cient available ground that it is
not necessary to plant the same area
to garden each year, may save himself
considerable outlay for fertilizers and
at the same time improve his soil even
better than it is possible with fertil-
izer alone by alternating one-half or
one-third of the area to green manure
crops each year. The terms green
manure. soiling crops and cover crops
are used more or less Interchangeable
and refer to crop grown for spading
or turning under the soil. II so ham
died while still green. the green mat
ter will rot quickly in moist soil and
add greatly to its productivity. The
most effective green manure crops are
the legumes, such as crimson clover,
cowpeas and soy beans, because these
plants release more nitrogen upon
decaying. Crimson clover is an ex-
cellent plant for the purpose because,
II planted at this season, it develops
some growth and lives through the
Winter to attain full development in
early Spring. On sloping ground,
crimson clover aids In reducing erosion
of soil. Cowpeas and soy beans make
rank growth II sown in June, but
are killed by the first frosts. Among
non-legumes, Winter rye or Winter
wheat make good covers for sowing in
September Oats Is good Summer
cover crop plant. 1t Is we'll to use
commercial fertilizer in connection
with cover crops as such promote
ranker growth and more material to
turn under.
1t is really surprising how well the
soil can be kept in a productive state
with combination of cover crops and
commercial fertilizer materials Such
a system OF soil improvement has ad-
vantages over animal manures in that
1t does not introduce weed seeds nor
soll-borne diseases into the garden
area.
Value OF Cultivation.
TWENTY years ago it would have
been considered almost heresy to
have asserted that cultivation IS use
less operation except as it DESTROYS
weeds. Yet today one can present
definite experimental proof that such
is more or less the truth. Cornell Uni
versity ran some very careful expert
ments over several years with vegeta-
bles and found that simply scraping
the soil to the extent of Graduating
the weeds was for most crops just as
effective as cultivation. Those gar
deners who were brought up in earlier
years will have dif1culty in accepting
this new doctrine. Weeds use water
and soil foods and are therefore in
direct competition with the garden
crops. No one would contend in their
favor but 1t Is different with cultiva-
ton. This operation breaks the hard
surface or crust of soil and must aid
in admitting air to the roots which
need oxygen just as much as do the

Horticulture. states that propagation
is usually by softuood cuttings placed
under glass in Summer. but that cut

late Fall. Seed are said to be rare, but
when sown in Spring will develop
into sturdy plants that will reach
blooming age in about three years.

Organization Committee Sets
Annual Dues at So; Plan
for First Session.

With approximately 10 prospective
charter members to be interviewed, the
organization committee of the proposed
Ely Junior Chamber Of Commerce this
week launched its initial membership
drive.
After meeting Tuesday evening the
committee announced that the annual
membership in the organization would

membership fees.
The committee explained that the
purpose of the organization would be to
concentrate the efforts of the young
business and professional men for civic
betterment. The junior group viii work
