MANY home gardeners think Of the

seed is offered in the seed catalogue,
but would have to be sown indoors in
early Spring. Many home gardeners
exchange cuttings and in this way
build up a stock OF varieties. The

Considerable difhculty was encoun-
tered in wetting the peat-soil mixture
thoroughly, with the result that ger
mination was not at the best on the
peat plots. However. subsequent
growth was much better on the peat
plots than where none was applied.
Moles cause plenty Of trouble In
many suburban lawns, pushing up
unsightly ridges. which. II pressed

There Is a Farmers Bulletin. No. 1247,
devoted to the subject Of moles and
their control. Apparently the mole
gets blame for many things that it
does not do. such as the eating OF
bulbs. It is generally conceded that
field mice operating in the mole tun-
nels do much Of the mischief cred
tied to the mole. Materials. such as
naphtha flakes. moth balls and para
dichlorobenzine. inserted in the moles'
runways will do much to deter them
from injuring the lawn.

rather difficult this Spring, due to
high humidity and favorable tenn
peratures. Conditions which favor
the rose plant also appear to favor
the black spot organism. Mr.. Winn
T. Simmons OF Takoma Park has a
practical and unique way Of COM
batting black spot. Each time flush
OF bloom is past, he sprays thoroughly
with Bordeaux mixture. With three
flushes to date, this means three
sprayings. in addition to the dormant
late Winter treatment. BY spraying
just after the blooms are cut, the
next crop is not covered with the
spray, but the plant itself Is protected.

Officials Anxious


 London, May 14.-UP)-Ad- miralty officials anxiously awaited reports from Almeria today on the cause of an explosion which nearly sank the destroyer Hunter and cast a pail over the still jubilant celebra- tions of King Georges coronation. An admiralty communique, list ing casualties in the explosion that damaged the Hunter, showed three petty officers, stoker and four sea- men killed and four petty officers, telegraphist, a cook, a signalman and seven seamen wounded.
 Pending reports from officers at the scene, the admiralty rested on brief communique:
 "While on patrol for non-inter- vention purposes five miles of AL meria on the south coast of Spain Thursday H. M. S. Hunter suffered an explosion on the water line. The cause is unknown. H. M. s. Hardy and Hyperion are proceeding to stand by"
 The admiralty understood that the Hunter was in sinking condition when it was taken into Almeria harbor.
 The exact nature of the explosion was not yet determined, the com munique said and added:
 Enquiries are proceeding on the spot"

 "In Canada" he said. i've have endeavored to open channels Of trade. Negotiations with the United States and more recently with the United Kingdom have led to sub stantial reduction of our tariff rates. In no instance were concessions to either country effected by raising duties against any other country. At the same time we greatly liberalized customs administration.
 MacKenzei King expressed regret that the Irish Free State, alone Of empire units, was not represented at the conference.
 Ramon De Valera, president Of the executive council of the Free State, had said that in view of the long Irish British trade war "No useful purpose would be served in attending"
 The Canadian prime minister con- tniued, referring to the fact that the king for the first time took the coronation oath as the king of each separate dominion.
 For the first time in this great ceremony" he said, "it was recog- nized that the relationship between the king and his people of Canada is direct and immediate"
 Turning to world politics Mac Kenzie King said:
 We are endeavoring to prove the enduring possibility of establishing peace and sharing the gains and progress among peoples situated on every continent, held together not by centralized control or reliance upon force but by similarity of po- litical institutions and political ideals, by common interests and common royalties"
