Acting Secretary of Agriculture

to enable United States wheat
farmers to maintain their share OF

The export sales policy is expect
ed to result in United States ex-
ports during the current season OF
approximately 100 million bushels.
The export plans fit into the gen
eral wheat program of the AAA.
They supplement the acreage allot-
ment provisions of that program,

one should know this better than the
Secretary"
On top of that came statement yes
terday from Elton L. Marshall, the De-
partment's solicitor during the preced-
ing administration, and the man who
handled the stockyards case in its early
stages.
"The rudimentary requirements of
fair play dictate that you, as RESPONSE
BILE public official, should assume respon-
sibility for your own acts" Mr.. Marshall
declared in letter to Secretary WAL
lace. "You made the (rate) order; it
was your order. 1t was made months
after my connection with the depart
ment had ceased I had no more con-
nection with the order than any of the
other thousands of lawyers in private
practice"
Without undertaking to judge the
validity of these denials as opposed to
the charges by Mr.. Wallace, it does seem
fair to say that the Secretary has taken
hold of an exceedingly hot potato. And
if his attempt to blame his predecessor
for the error was made with a view to
its possible effect on the farmers of the
Kansas City area, who lost some $780,
600 by the courts decision, it is probable
that the denials will give them some
food for thought.

Honor for Justice Brandeis.
From the Buffalo Evening News.

A fitting comment to Harvard's an
nouncement that 1t is about to oner the
honorary degree of doctor OF laws 10
Justice Louis D. Brandeis OF the Su-
preme Court would be that it is aoout
time. The justice is one OF HarVaros
most distinguished sons and now IS serv-
ing his twenty second year on the oencn
at the age of 50. He is generally re-.
earded as one of the ablest members o!
the high court. He frequently joined
the late Justice Holmes in opinions de-
Tending personal and political hoertles'
From his youthful days, he has oeen
looked upon as an outstanding liberal:
When President Wilson named Justice
Brandeis for the Supreme Court SO mucn
opposition developed that 1t took an OF
the prestige of the Executive to OBTAIN
confirmation from the Senate. A1ter
all these years, those who remember tne
protests that were voiced will smile
little idulgently, for they seem absurd IN
view of Justice Brandeis' record OF serV-
ice. That he has not been altogether
unmindful of the previous attitude to-
ward him Is indicated by the fact that ne
refused to accept an honorary degree
from Yale few years ago. He gave no
reason, but Yale had hesitated on sew
eral occasions previously about Offering
the honor, although he had been lndorseo
for it by the faculty of the law school.
Will Justice Brandeis accept the belated
honor which his alma mater now o1ers
him?

day or two, Chairman Palmisano of the

LEWIS CALLED CHIEF LOSER

Blow to Mine Leaders Control Within Democratic Party

All press comments on the primaries

that John L. Lewis. c. l. O. chief and
head of the mine workers union, was
the chief figure in the fight, and that his
failure also reflected on Chairman Far

a large vote, the Republicans are cred
tied with support which promises we'll

Wallace Boomerang.

The effort by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace to place responsibility for that
departments procedural error in the
Kansas City stockyards case on his pred
ecessor, and his charge that the Su-
preme Court implied that the fault was
his, seems to have developed into some
thing of boomerang.
His attack on the court went unan-
swered so far as that tribunal was con-
cerned, but the attempt to place all
blame on the preceding administration
drew vigorous counter attacks.
The first came from Frederick H.
Wood, one of the attorneys who repre-
sented the stockyard men in their sue
cessful attack on the rate schedule i'm
posed on them by Mr.. Wallace. Com
menting on the Secretary's amazing

which led the Supreme Court to set the

By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

of amateur rosarians, both formal and
informal.
There are perhaps more rose experts"
to the acre than any other form OF
garden enthusiast.
The lady who purchases her first half
dozen bushes fondly watches them
sprout q few blooms-immediately she
lectures her neighbors on the art and
practice of successful rose growing.
1t is done everywhere, and usually with
infinite gusto. The fact that rose
bush actually has bloomed for one is
something rather terrific, seemingly, in
the average personal experience.
In the meantime. there are good roses,
and fair roses. and very poor roses.
springing in their season from good
bushes, fair bushes and very poor
bushes.
There is as wide q variety of care
given them.
Basically, there is an even wider di-
vergence in the types Of soil in which
they are expected to grow.
The result is that roses of the favorite
bush types are one thing, in the cata-
: logues, and often something else entirely
in the garden.
Take the Souvenir de Claudius Pernet.
When 1t first came out, some dozen or
so years ago, every one rushed to plant IT..
Every true rose grower wanted some OF
those perfect yellow water lilylike flow
ers seen in the florists window.
And what happened?
The sun Of the garden faded them,
even when they were grown perfectly
otherwise, which was not often.
The florist, with his controlled hot
house cultivation, could raise them to
perfection, but the amateur rosarian In
his back yard seldom could
~ +
In time this sort of thing drives the
weary rosarian back to the climbers.
He sees at last that he has neglected
some of Natures finest growers, plants
which do we'll in all except absolute
shade, and which will thrive in almost
any type soil.
Practically all the climbers, whether
old or new, have this highly satisfactory
performance.
Newer species are not bothered by mil
deWs, as were the older climbing roses Of
memory. such as the Dorothy Perkins.
The newer climbing roses usually have
glossy foliage, and good thorns, and a
way OF growing "all over the place"
which is very satisfactory to the owner.
After all, one wants growth, and plenty
of it, in the growing things of the garden.
Most people nowadays know enough
about plants to know that the climbing
roses should not be pruned until after
the blooming.
Then they may be cut back sharply,
care being taken to prune out all the
dead wood and branches which are in
the way of more thriving ones.
Unless this is done. the climbing rose
may get messy" especially If close to a
house. The number of climbers is much
larger than many persons suspect; there
is type for almost every situation, and
for every purpose.
Let us try them more generously, espe-
cially if we happen to suspect that we
are not altogether the rose grower we
once thought ourself.
