2y the Associated Press.
ABOARD S. S. SANTA CLARA
en- route to Lima. Peru. Dec. 5.-One
of the aims of Secretary Hull at the
forthcoming Pan-American Confer
ence will be extension of his recipro-
cal trade agreements program with
Latin American nations.
The Secretary of State, leading
the United States delegation to the
conference, rededicated himself to
the stimulation of trade among the
Americas in q statement issued yes
terday during brief stop at Guaya-
quill, Ecuador.
THE development of a natural
and prosperous international trade
is Of the utmost Importance to large
and small nations alike" he said.
Aim to Aid Stimulation.
''The basis exists for such trade
among the American nations, and
1t is my sincere desire to contribute
in every possible way to the further
stimulation of that trade"
Just half of the 20 Latin American
nations have signed trade agree
mentS with the United States. Ne
gotiations are under way with an
other. Venezuela.
Mr.. Hull does not intend to put on
selling campaign in favor of the
trade agreements program, but In
conversations with delegates and in
his speeches at the conference he
will stress the need Of further re-
ducing trade barriers, which is the
objective of the program
He will enter the conference but
tressed by the trade agreement just
concluded with Great Britain and
the new one with Canada. The
accord with the United Kingdom
linked the largest trader in Latin
America, Uncle Sam, and the third
largest, John Bull.
1887 Exports, $233,S88,000.
American exports to the Latin
American trade agreement nations
in 1887 totaled s233,888 900, which
was more than double the average
in the years 193l-35.
Imports to the United States from
those 10 countries in 1887 totaled
$25e, ,308, 900. compared with $685.
475,0O0 in the years 1931-35. The 10
are Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti,
Nicaragua, Honduras and Ecuador.
The two largest Latin American
customers of the United States, how
ever, are not in the trade agreements
lineup Mexico and Argentina.
Hull has hopes at least of bringing
Argentina into the picture. The
prospects for an agreement with
Mexico are less brilliant, being COM
plicated by Mexico's program of ex-
preparation of American property.

TWELVE perennials for the shady

There are many perennials suitable
for this area that will stand consid-
cradle shade. If they are to thrive
and bloom, however, the soil mustIbe
prepared for them by Incorporating
plenty Of leaf-mold or peat moss.
Fertilizers are not so important, al
though cottonseed meal or very we'll
rotted manure may be added to good
advantage. Leaf-mold worked deeply
into the Soils to l8 inches-Will

ing capacity and plant food for them

Garden Problems Solved
Protect Roots From Exposure

please let me know when in the
spring evergreens should be trans
planted, and what directions should
be followed for the most favorable
transplanting."
transplanting?"
Evergreens transplant safely and
easily just before growth starts, i.e.,
around the middle of March and in
late September. Nurserymen, how
ever, having trees in proper condition
successfully transplant any season Of
the year.
The hole into which the tree is to
be transplanted should be dug and
perpared in advance. Dig the hole
amply large and deep. Loosen the
bottom soil and mix with leaf mold
or peat moss. Avoid bone meal and
strong manure. Very old, thoroughly
rotted manure, when available is a
good source Of plant food to mix into
the subsoil.
In transplanting evergreens the
roots must be protected from exposure
to the air by ball Of SOIL The size
of the ball is determined by the size
of the evergreen. Most nurserymen
dig trench around the tree and then
undermine it. The ball of earth is
then securely wrapped and tied.
When planted in the new location it
is carefully adjusted for height-do
not plant it deeper than it stood be-
fore digging. Remove the cords and
push the burlap down into the hole.
Fill the hole with good soil, tramping
it down as the hole is filled, and then
water thoroughly. When the water
has soaked into the soil mulch of
leaf mold, peat moss or other material
should be spread over the ground as
a final protection.
For the f1rst season. during pro-
bnged dry periods, newly transplanted
evergreens may need watering-the
ground should be we'll saturated at
each watering so that once a week
will be frequent enough.
"Will you explain to me just
what 1875 and 5-8-5 mean?"
All fertilizers are required by law

phorus and potash, in the mixture.
Thus 4-8-5 fertilizer contains per

quently deficient and hence are con-
tanned in various combinations in the
so-called complete fertilizers.
Are complete fertilizers sold sep
arately under well-known trade
names?"
"Yes, complete fertilizers are sold
under trade names and are made by
reputable companies.
Il am told that should not use
bone meal and peat moss. For in
stance, I applied bone meal liber-
ally to my grass and roses last fall.
Will 1t be a disadvantage to my
peat moss during the summer"
1t all depends upon the use to be
made of them. Bone meal contains a
considerable quantity of lime and
should not be used on loving
plants or shrubs without some material
to counteract the lime. Peat moss
(European) is acid in its reaction and
will neutralize some of the lime, de-
pending upon the quantity used. For
plants requiring non-acid soil, such
as delphinium, bone meal is a de-
sirable source of phosphorus.
Peat moss, where it can be used, is
a help in liberating the phosphorus in
the bone meal. Bone meal will not
break down without humus and bac-
terial action. This is one of the rea-
sons bone meal is not a good fertilizer
for lawns-it is not mixed with humus
and consequently bacterial action is
slow and in many ctses lacking. For
roses the bone meal, when worked we'll
into the soil, is an excellent source of
phosphorus.
"My garden lies to the south and
Is very hot"
With such an exposure liberal use Of
mulching materials, such as peat moss,
grass clippings, leaf mold, ETC., Is de-
sirable to keep the soil moist and cool.
Roses in particular need such protec-
ton during the summer. If you use
peat moss on roses, mix lime with it to
counteract the acidity, as roses thrive
best in very slightly acid soils.
