The Garden
Department
BY Ferdinand Wiener

A good many evergreens were
planted this spring. especially for
specimens about the place. It IL
also the time OF the year that the
nurseryman wonders how his Gus
toners are getting along with the
trees. They should all come this
season without much trouble as
far as weather and moisture con-
ditions are concerned, but there IL
one thing that every grower Of
evergreens should know. This Is to
spray the lower branches Of the
trees with solution Of Black
Leaf 40 Of IN teaspoonsful to /
gallon of water, but without soap
as is called for ordinary spraying.
This will prevent dogs from ruin
ing the trees, which often hap
pens. Also good to apply to other
shrubbery to keep cats and dogs
away. Black Leaf 40 may be OBJ
tanned from the local druggist.
If your gladiolus are pretty well
along, some fertilizer worked into
the soil will do more benefit now
than later.
Wealthy apple trees should have
a large amount Of heterogeneous fer
tilizer in years when bearing is
not heavy, and relatively small
amount in heavy bearing years to
obtain better coloring Of the fruit.
DO not fertilize In late summer, II
good color Is desired.
An oak forest has been shown to
evaporate 1000 to 1900 gallons of
water through its foliage per acre,
according to DR.. George A. Thiel,
Of the University Of Minnesota.
This happens every day, and
amounts to the equivalent Of one
tenth Of an inch OF rainfall. It is
not any wonder that when countries
are stripped Of their forests, they
become dry lands. Those districts
Of China so often visited by famine
in our days, were once covered
with heavy forests, but are now
subject to soil erosion by wind, and
occasionally heavy rainfall, which
finds nothing to hold 1t. Sections
of Palestine, which in Biblical days
were covered by forests, are now
peopled by starving nomads, many
of whom scarcely know what a
stick of wood looks like. Moral:
spare the trees.

VIII you explain something
about the growing of asparagus
and which Is best, one or two year
old roots?
Asparagus is best propagated by
seed sown thinly early In the
spring. Large thrifty one-year-old
roots, obtained from such sowing,
or purchased from reliable seeds
man, are best for transplanting to
the permanent bed. Plant these
roots 10 inches apart in rows 4
feet apart, In trenches 8 inches
deep, as early in the spring as the
soil can be worked. Cover with 2
to inches of soil. AS the plants
grow, gradually fill the trench. It
is usually advisable not to start
cutting until the third spring after
planting, but a small harvest may
sometimes be gathered the second
spring. In harvesting cut below the
soil surface with long knife. In

HAS NOT BEEN DENIED

Pearson and Allen, Washington correspondents,
in their syndcated letter published by consider
able number of newspapers throughout the cOun-
try, made the statement that the real author OF
the Costigan- Wagner bill was Walter White, a
leader of the negroes, of New York, that he came
to Washington, that he convinced the wife of the
president of the wisdom and righteousness of the
BILL that she brought President Roosevelt to favor
it.; ". "".e
1t was defeated by means of hlibuster carried
on by Southern senators Most of the Northern
Democrats voted for the BILL Senator Costigan is
a Denver man, a member Of the Democratic party
considered by many as Socialist. Senator
Wagner is Tammany Democrat.
All sincere Socialists believe in the wiping out
of the color line in politics and industry if not in
all spheres of life
The Costfgan- Wagner bill is in substance the
bill introduced some years ago by Mr.. Dyer, long
the Republican representative of the negro district
of St. Louis.
The bill provides for the transfer of cases of
alleged ynching to the federal courts and under its
terms killing by as few three persons is defined
as a lynching 1t provides also that sheriffs and
deputies charged with conniving with lynchers or
allowing prisoners to be taken from their custody
may be tried in federal courts and punished. And
1T provides for the imposition of large fines upon
counties in which alleged lynchings occur.
! The president, so far as we are Informed, has
said not a word against the BILL or for it.

sS EAT natural resources There has been NO man
date from the people that this governmental COM
petition be undertaken. For the most part, except
as centrosercs rise occasionally, there has been no
sustained complaint even on the score of rates.
The Duke Power company and other power COM
panies which serve the little IVA are not in
the best graces of the people, perhaps, but there
is no disposition on the part of their customers to
drive them out of existence simply because, IN the
guise of WPA it can be done ..
Il NAV be true very possibly is true, that only
under a Socialstic form of government will this
nation ever realize its manifest destiny. Whenever
the word shall be said The News is ready to discuss
/ that proposed change real rather than an alb
stract proposition. But 1t does, and says 1t does
decry this Sneaking into Socialism, this Easing into
Elysia Besides-and this is very much to the
pont-all governmental intrusions into the field Of
private business have been marked by ineptitude
waste, confusion and frequently by corruption
Are the engineers for the Santee Cooper project to
be chosen because they voted for Mr. Roosevelt, or
Jimmy Byrnes? Are customers to call up for ser
vice man and get Jim Farley?
But the Duke and other power companies may
look out for themselves They have done very well
at it in the past What really disturbs us, ad-
mitted in the beginning, is the probability that the
federal government will take it into its head to
establish newspapers in this benighted territory, so
that great political truths may be spread by the
party in power; Uncle Sam department stores, so
that everybody may have new suit or new dress
to wear on Jefferson's Birthday; or New Deal
banks, where the only collateral required is GER
tifcate that one is registered as Democrat.
1t is the high duty of the government to correct
economic injustices, and this administration has
showed more stuff along that line than any of its
predecessors For that it should be praised; but
when it commences to use its emergency powers as
a cloak to conceal fundamental alterations to our
form IF government, it becomes time to protest.

factories; put up high priced
stores; and worst of all, we ran
into debt for most Of what we
bought. We expected forever and
ever to be able to turn out and

Then when the laws Of econom-

found we had to pay heavily for
our disobedience. We can not
grow wheat on high priced city
lots and sell it at anything except
a loss. We can not turn out some

that thing up. and not go broke

old friend of mine looking the

a. land-office business, said to me,
"This outfit will have to fail
about three times before some
body can buy it in at a price low

The United States has been set

tin, president of the American Bar association,
Gently.
That, of course, goes without saying
And we are proud to believe of our courts that
it is pretty generally true.
But this does not mean, as some seem to sup
pose, that the man whose parents have been hon
orable and prominent who has had the ability to
make place of wealth and Influence for himself,
and who has been given political power by his fell
low citizens, is not to be honored that the man

to be preferred above him.
There is such thing as justice for both the rich
man and the poor ian.
Which is one of the chief reasons the principles
and practices and the plottings of Communists
arouse our resentments and not certainly, because
they pretend to stand for the cause of the poor and
the downtrodden.
Which for the most part we believe is only pre-
tense and designed to stir class resentment and en-
courage the revolutionary spirit.-Rock Hill S. c.,

used to the thought that we are
going to have to get down to bed

economic salvation painstakingiy
and painfully. l do not believe
that all the schemes in the world

prosperity would be unstable and

WORLD REVIVES STRIFE, TO FACE
A NEW WAR!
(By BRUCE CATION

If the depression through which the
world has been staggering during the last
five years is an OutgrOwth of the World
war, what about the next. war that every
body is preparing for? What sort of eco
nomic breakdown will it hand us-and
what will it do to our slowly mending bust
ness structure? ...>. -as ...
1t is in such questions as these that the
real menace of war is to be found. If a
burned child really does fear the fire, you
would suppose that the world today would
be willing to put up with almost anything
imaginable rather than get into another
war On the contrary, however, 1t is drift
ing steadily toward new One--letting the
lesson of the last one go unread and un-
needed. -.. IS: .,.'.
Let us have look at the extend to which
world business conditions have been reviV-
ing of late.
Figures compiled by the National Indus
trial Conference Board show a slow but
appreciate rise in most of the induces by
which wrold prosperity is measured. Bust
ness is better in England, Canada, Aus
tralia, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Finland,
Spain and several Latin American coun-
tries for instance, with recessions noted
only in Holland, the United States and
Mexico.
Unemployment has BEEN declining in
Denmark, Norway, Germany, France, Italy
and Great Britain. World prices for such
important raw materials are wheat, cotton,
sugar, rubber, silk and tin are maintaining
a steady rise. The physical volume of
world trade is higher than it was a year
ago.
All of these things make up definitely
encouraging picture. 1t does begin to look,
at last, as if the world were beginning to
drag itself out of the morass of trade stag
nation. Let these favorable trends con-
tinue for another year or two and the
world would be we'll on its way hack to-
ward normal times.
But no man dares predict that they will
conenue; and the reason for that is that
the shadow of war continues to spread
across the horizon. Italy seems committed
to a war with Abyssinia, and no mortal
man can tell what may come out Of this.
And no one needs to be told that, with the
dislocating effect of new war, all the deli
cate machinery of reviying world trade will
be thrown out of gear anew. '
The world is at the mercy of it's own
folly these days. After years of stuff ering
from war-born depression, it at last ,discoy-
ers signs of reviyal-and Immediately pre-
pares to rush into new war.

1t may as well be confessed at the start that not

the big boss himself, if he steps
out of a twelve-story window with
nothing to hold him up but pO-

of liquor and run his automobile
into fast express, the coroner's

him-nor could the governor.
