Chairman Jones Quite Likely
Pushed Hard on the Reins

Ground for a monument at the
San Jacinto battlefield in Houston,
Texas, is broken and so Is the pillow
that broke 1t.
They turned the handles of an
ancient wooden pillow over to Jesse
FL. Jones, 225-pound chairman Of the
Reconstruction Finance corporation.
He shouted "let's 60" to the oxen
and the pillow point went far into the
ground, shattering the relic. Jones
had failed to use his weight on the
handles.

pots. It really makes little difference
which type is used, although the low
flower pots known as bulb pans are
particularly satisfactory. Small seeds.
such as petunias, need little covering
beyond light sitting of sand. A
piece of paper placed over the top of
the pot will help keep the surface
damp until termination takes place,
when the paper should be promptly
removed. The proper way to water
freshly-sown pots and young seedlings
is simply to set the pot for an hour
or two each day in pan of water.
This will wet the soil thoroughly
without disturbing the seed or the
little plants. Watering from above
increases the hazard of decay by wet
ting the leaves and thus providing a
favorable environment for disease
spores to develop. II the soil Is
sterilized before planting by heating
in the oven, there will be removed
much of the danger of seeding decay.
Very shortly after the first real
leaves appear on the seedlings, they
need transplanting into larger con-
tainer, preferably fiat boxes that can
be set out in the hot bed. The roots
are very tender and hence 1t is well
to lift each tiny plant with knife
blade or sharpened stick. On the
whole, one needs hot bed in plant
production, for there comes a time in
April when the plants take up so
much space that it is almost impos-
sible to keep them indoors. In the
early stages, however, whole garden
of flowers may be grown in a few
boxes or pans.
The Catalogues.
MOT a little pleasure is derived
on Winter evenings by many
home gardeners in the study of the
flower and vegetable catalogues. which
arrive so abundantly in January and
February. Many of these catalogues
are truly works of art and depict
the flowers and vegetables in true
colors. Others, of course, are not so
good in this respect. but may really
represent equally good seed and plants.
New varieties attract the gardener
most of all and. as result, the seeds
men try to have something new each
year. even though at times they are
forced to enter rather mediocre
materials in the novelty class. This
has been particularly true of the
double floWered nasturtiums. The
seedsmen were in such hurry to get
these new nasturtiums on the market
that they did not wait until the
process of selection was advanced to
the point of excluding all singles. As
result, many home gardeners were

of alternate freezing and thawing lest
they be forced out of the soil. II this
occurs, they should be promptly re-
planted, pressing the soil firmly
around the base.
Some home gardeners take keen
delight in cutting branches Of
forsythia, Japanese ounce and other
Spring Towering shrubs and forcing
them into bloom in the home. This
Is a simple way of getting breath
of Spring a little in advance Of the
regular season.
The Garden Clubs.
THE various garden clubs Of the
city and suburban area have been
active ever since the turn of the
year In organizing their plans for
an active Spring gardening season.

disappointed. This Is simply to indi-
cate that whereas novelties are In
teresting and often very valuable,
they may not always be so and 1t
is not very wise to invest too large q
part Of the seed and plant budget In
novelties. There has been q great
deal Of improvement in garden flowers
and vegetables in the last decade. The
home garden has done It's part by
giving these novelties widespread,
impartial tests and thus eliminating
with promptness the inferior intro
ductions.
Garden Notes.
GRAB grass may get its death blow
~ when the fight on Japanese beetle
begins in earnest in this area. A
well-known grass specialist in Ohio
reports that heavy applications In
late Winter Of arsenate of lead will
kill the over Wintering seeds Of crab
grass with little injury to the blue
grass and other desirable species. The
application was 20 pounds of arsenate
of lead powder per 1000 square feet
of lawn. This is five pounds more than
is needed to render the lawn safe
from japanese beetles.
Although cartoonists are apt to
comment In a humorous vein on the
home gardeners tendency to buy q
lot of tools each Spring and to lose
or break them during the Summer.
there is much to be said in favor Of
adequate equipment. Good tools make
possible easier and better work and
1t is timely now to 60 over the tool
supply. replacing worn out equipment
and repairing minor breaks. Naturally
the extent of necessary equipment will
vary with the size Of the garden and
the kind Of plants that are grown
so it would be impossible to recon-
mend just what tools are required.
One thing is certain, that dull and
rusty tools are neither efficient nor
necessary. With file, the edges Of
hoes and the tines Of spading forks
can be put into good condition and,
with rag saturated with oil, one can
in few moments remove much of the
difficulty with rust.
What Is to be done in the garden
at this season while frost is still in
the soil and the plants are awaiting
the coming Of real Spring? All old
vegetation should be removed from
iris, phlox and chrysanthemum plants
and burned This should have been
done last Fall because insect eggs
tend to be shaken of during the
Winter, but 1t is better late than never
Heavy mattings of leaves should be
removed from plant beds to the ex-
tent of loosening the leaf cover and
permitting air to reach the over
wintering leaves. Plants require air
much as do animals and more SO as
the warmer days come and start activ-
ity in the plant. Many plant labels
will be found dislodged by Winters
winds and ice and should be replaced
at once before their proper position
becomes undertain.

SIX-HOUR DEBATE ON

WASHINGTON. May II. (UP)
The house, in 40 minutes packed
full of parliamentary surprises
OVERRIDE the administration yes
terday and voted 220 to 1853 to
consider the $9,000,00O,OOO Fra
zier-Lemke farm mortgage re-
financing bill. attacked by oppon-
ents as inflationary.
A moment later, by voice vote
it adopted a rule for SIX hours
debate which was started today
A final vote is possible late Wed
nesday or Thursday.
The shock of their sudden anc
clearcut preliminary victory LEFT
the leaders of the Frazier-Lemke
bloc gasping. They predicted sue
cess for the measure after the ad
ministration's year long fight tc
keep it off the floor of the house
was defeated.
But even if the house finally
approved the bill it has to pass
the senate where leaders, anxious
for adjournment, and with the
administration tax and relief ap
preparation bills still on the cal
endar, are extremely unlikely &c
give it consideration. Beyond the
senate lies President Roosevelt
veto power if he should decide tc

The bill proposes to offer every
United States farmer the chance
to refnance any mortgages he
NAV have on his land at 1 IL pei
cent interest and 1 1-2 per CEN
amortization. This means that
farmer with a $1,000 mortgage
NAV have it refnanced for $50 E

The money for this vast farm
relief proposal will come, its back

seeing that there may be no mar
ket for the bonds, they have pro
vided that the bond issue may b'
turned over to the federal reserve

This, opponents claim, make;
the bill inflationary. The Frazier

this charge on the ground tina
the new currency would be backed
