I thought that America was
proud of its free speech. Some
time ago I wrote to this paper
expressing my opinion of some
things, but my letter was not
printed.
First I wanted to know why
we don't have a great man like
Hitler in this country. He sure
is doing a great job of getting
rid of a lot Of pests. Then I
wanted to know why President
Roosevelt mentioned Eddie Can

plate. Anyone silly enough to
attend would certainly be silly
enough to pay that amount.
After paying all necessary ex-
penses for the dinner, we could
use the balance to purchase a
lie-detector for Father Coughlin,
just a little something to assist
him in preparing his speeches.
Then, if there is any money
left, we could also buy him
ticket on the first boat out to
Germany.

New Type Marigold
Very Satisfactory.

The marigold family, which has
made such remarkable progress in the
last few years, is again represented in
the all-America awards for 1888.
The expert judges, who tested new
flowers In 10 different trial grounds
located throughout the United States,
recommend as one of the worthy i'm
provements American, Beauty mixed
marigolds.
This is q hybrid strain of early
Towering types in which are found
carnation- -flowered, chrysanthemum-
fiowered and crested blossoms.
A mixture Of this sort is usually
produced when successful expert
ment in hybridizing takes place. In
time it will be separated by selection,
no doubt, into definite colors and
forms. But when still mixture it
offers to the amateur rich variety of
splendid flowers, all Of the newest
fashion.
There is q mixture of color as well
as form, ranging from light yellow to
deepest tangerine orange. The plants
grow feet tall and the flowers vary
from 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Some
Of them have quilted and mcurved
petals resembling fully double chrys-
anthemums. Others have the fiat
petals of the carnation type, which is
20 useful for cutting.

Midsummer
Mulching
Advised
May Be Put On Any
Time After Soil Is
Thoroughly Warm.

THE use Of mulching materials to
protect plants from "heaving"
during the winter is an old, established
practice. It's value is widely known
and most gardeners make more or
less use of it. The value of summer
mulches is less generally understood
and few people employ them in their
gardens. Here in Washington. where
we have a very hot sun during the
summer months and an occasional
midsummer drouth. summer mulches
are OF greater benefit than most
gardeners realize.
Summer mulches reduce evaporation
from the soil and thus conserve the
moisture; they lower the temperature
of the surface soil and provide a
happier home for the roots of many
plants; and mulching chokes out most
OF the weeds-reducing the labor of
cultivation. While these qualities
sound too good to be true, neverthe-
less they have been demonstrated.
1t would seem from the above that
every gardener would mulch his plants.
AS matter Of fact, very few garden
ers have even tried summer mulching.
Roses do best with a cool moist
root-run and plenty of moisture. and
during prolonged hot spells will fire.
nllenr1u ctnv, Al,,lnh -. l.
applied after thoroughly soaking the
ground revived them and produced a
new growth and bloom in a relatively
short time.
Among the available mulching ma
terials are peat moss manure, straw
grass clippings, compost, and leaf
mold. Peat moss probably gives the
best appearance to flower and rose
beds. Grass clippings look fairly well
but are better left as mulch for
the grass roots than to mulch 4 flower
bed. Manure makes a very good
mulch but introduces weed seed and
odors. Buckwheat hulls where avail
able are good.
fhoi|ico may oc dppiieu AT any
time after the soil has become warm
usually early in June. 1t is recon-
mended that the ground be given q
thorough soaking before using them.
From 2 to inches of the mulch ma
terial is sufficient in most cases. At
the end Of the summer season when
the mulch is no longer needed it can
best be disposed Of by working it into
the soil. A good mulch material
makes a fine soil conditioner. One
word Of caution: Peat moss and leaf
mold mulches are acid and If they
are to be worked into the soil where
plants are growing that require sweet
soil, lime should be added.

GARDENERS with foresight will
make plans to SOW some Of the
everlasting next spring. These beauti-
full flowers, which appear well in the

In bed or border, can be dried, or
cured, for use in winter. They are
q colorful race, and arrangements for
the table and mantelpiece can be
made which are good winter substitutes
for the real thing.
One of the best Of such flowers is
the strawflower. or helichrysum,
hardy subject with rich blossoms. Its
fine double flowers with yellow CEN
tiers ranging from pure white through
light and deep yellow to rich scarlet
and crimson are excellent material for
garden use.
The globe amaranth, or gomphrena,
is another good annual for this pur-
pose. It is bushy in character and
has purple cloverlike heads which
make good garden subjects, and dura-
able winter material for arrangements.
