tion the fact that 20-odd crops may be
taken from the lawn in single year
and inquiries very rightfully what ether
plant is asked to produce such heavy
yield. 1t is really no wonder that the
lawn needs two fertilizings a year,
once in March or early April and again
in early September. Use one pound
of mixed fertilizer per 40 to so square
feet. Even distribution may be Sc
cured by first mixing the fertilizer
with peat moss or soil.
The violet Is an interesting plant in
more ways than one. 1t produces two
kinds Of flowers, the snowy ones that
every one knows and loves and incon-
spicuous blooms at the base which
bear the seeds. These inconspicuous
blooms, known botanically as cleisto-
gamous bloom, have no colored petals
and, therefore, are rarely seen. When
the seed pod is ripe, it bursts with
force sufficient to throw the seeds sew
eral feet. This accounts for the scat
tering of young plants that one may
observe about older plants.

GARDEN NOTES

AN INTERESTING method for
keeping water lily blossoms open
during the evening was developed by
the Missouri Botanical Garden. Many
varieties have he habit of closing
their blooms in the late afternoon and
this interferes with their value for
evening exhibitions and home display.
Using a paraffin that melts at low
temperature. about 116 degrees Fab
renheit. with the aid of a medical
dropper, small quantities were applied
at the base of the Stamens, petals and
sepals. Hardening quickly, the par
affln held the flower parts in place
and prevented their closing.
Deposits of mildew on the leaves of
lilac, golden glow and other plants
are rather common at this time, but
are not particularly harmful. The
dust gun. loaded with finely divided
sulphur, is effective in controlling mil
dew on various plants

LAND BUYER TOLD
T0ASK.QUEST|ONS
F. H. A. Gives Few Pointers
on Acquiring Site in
Subdivision.

Federal Housing Administration Of
ficials offer a few suggestions for those
who would buy land in q real estate
subdivision.
Here they are:
BE sure there Is evidence Of q
healthy and active demand for homes
at the prices asked.
"See that the site Of the subdivision
Is suitable; whether the land is plainly
appropriate for the type OF develop
ment contemplated by the developers;
whether there are evidences Of natural
or created hazards, such as fog, smoke,
obnoxious odors, etc.
Determine whether the subdivision
Is easily accessible by means OF public
transportation; whether there are
adequate highways to schools. employ
ment and shopping centers.
Are there adequate utilities and
street improvements? Do these meet
city or county specifications?
rs there an adequate supply OF
pure water and ample facilities for
the disposal Of sewage. Do they meet
the approval of local or State health
authorities?
do the design and development
comply with plans and regulations Of
the local zoning and city planning
authorities. If the subdivision falls
within the Jurisdiction Of city?
Are there appropriate deed re-
strictions?
Make certain that the subdividers
are financially able to carry through
their sales and development program.
Are the assessments and taxes to
which the property is liable in line
with the type Of development contem-
plated?"

ficials pointed out that, to be eligible

nonsensica than the reteration from the antiadmn-
stration crowd Of the clamor that President Roose
velt is Socialist, Communist Fascist and is bent
taking the profit motive out OF business and plant
ing On American soil composite Of the systems OF
Stain, Mussolni and Hitler with himself in the driv
ers seat?
Are these things more flagrantly absurd than the
passionate utterance of the Director of the dupont
"Liberty League, who in a recent speech at Balt-
more convened the impression that Roosevelt was
pened in Russia, Italy and Germany, Mr.. Jouett
ShouSe said:
'Whether he wants to exercise it or not, Frank
lin Roosevelt has demanded and Congress has supine-
y granted authority great any dictator could
ask" And he added: The power residing in the hands
of the Executive is an hourly menace to the freedom
of the people,"
A Russian would probably see in this statement
that the President had appeared at the Capitol with
regiment of soldiers and at the bayonet point had ex
torted from covering chamber it's submission to his
will
What happened of course, is that he sent up a
message in accordance with his Constitutional duty
recommending certain legislation he deemed neces-
sary to care for some millions OF destitute people, and
CONGRESS-. with many of the Republican members par
ticipating voted him the authority It is hardly OF
record that any of the Senators and Representatives
who voted the other way were sent to the bastile.
And the President was similarly negligent of the
best despotc principles when Congress overruled a
Veto Or turned down Or modified laws he proposed.
He indicated that he was disturbed at Supreme
Court decsion but so far neither Chief Justice
Hughes nor his colleagues the high tribunal seem
to be wthered by the tyrants frown-which certain
ly suggests very poor despoting.
However, in some ways the campaign period is
usually silly period In few months with RoOsc-
velt reelected the fulmnations we have been listen
