Tips on Growing Geraniums.

l have been growing Lady Wash
ington geraniums for almost four
years. All my present stock is from
an original plant given me as gift
l have rooted many slips and given
these plants to my friends.
These geraniums require fertile
potting mixture, i. e., one-half good
garden loan, one-quarter well rotted
manure, and one-quarter sand. How
ever, if the loan has enough sand in
it to make it friable use sifted leaf
mold instead.
While geraniums thrive in a warm
room, this variety should be grown
in very cool room such as an attic
or unheated room to discourage the
white fly since this pest seems to rel
ish this variety more than others.
Be sure these plants have first posi-
ton in your sunny windows.
Slips are easy to root. Take half
ripened wood; insert it in wet sand
When roots are about one-half inch
long pot the cuttings in small pots
Never allow plants to become
cramped until flowers are wanted
Although plants should be cramped
to bloom, they never should have
their roots pot-bound, j. e., the roots
should not cover the ball of earth
very tightly.
Plants do not do their best when
they are more than one or one and
one-half years old. Therefore, start
new plants and discard old ones.
1 hope this will help you. It may
be that you may have to vary these
instructions somewhat. Do not hest
tate to do so, since all plants are not
in the same environment and nat
urally react differently.

Fall Planting,

More and more we are recognizing
the advantage of fall planting of GER
tain plants. Greater leisure exists
in which to carry on the work; bor-
ders in which changes should be made
are ready for our improvements, and
time is given newly set plants to be-
come settled before heavy freezing
all ready for quick start in the
spring.
If a new border is being made, the
soil must be well prepared so that it
may last four years before it needs
remaking. Before that time it can
be gradually remade by shifting and
dividing clumps of perennials that
have become too large If possible a
new border should be trenched down
to three feet and, if drainage is re-
quired, stones laid in the bottom and
covered with sods, then filled in with
mixture of good loan, well rotted
manure and leafmold, and if the soil
is acid, busting of lime in the top
layer. If possible this new bed should
be left to settle two weeks before
planting. If it is about three inches
above the grade it will be of the right
height when settled.
In the case of improving an estab-
lished planting the perennials to be
moved or divided can easily be lifted,
heeling them in while the bed is

chairman; Roy Wier, organizer for
the Minneapolis Central Labor Union
was named vice chairp4p laid; Cecil
Crews, secretary ofgAhe Northern
States Cooperative League, was made
secretary. Sixty delegates attended
the first session.
The fight in the last Legislature
over the Administrations 17-million-
dollar relief bill is coming to the
front again.
The Administrations bill was based
on survey of relief needs. Senate
conservatives, without any survey or
study of relief needs to back them
up, attempted to arbitrarily cut the
amount in half, but finally agreed
upon an 1-million-dollar bill.
Result: The difference between
the II million proposal by the Admin
istration and the IL million which
was passed is now beingtpaid by the
property owners in the form Of addi-
tons to local taxes. The Administra-
tons proposal was to tax wealth.
A typical example of what has hap
pened is to be found in Ramsey coun-
ty. Had the 17-million-dollar relief
bill been passed, Ramsey county and
st. Paul would have received addi-
tional aid amounting to $1,024,330 for
the biennium. st. Paul. and Ramsey
county were forced to float bonds to
raise this amount for which the tax
payers (Which means the owners of
real property will be paying for the
next ten years. :!t
That is the kind of service. the
conservatives in the Senate rendered
the owners of real property. - r:

spaded deeply and additional fertilizer
added. If well rotted manure is lack
ing, bone meal will act as a safe
substitute. Especially is this true
when bulbs are Ito go in. Peonies and
iris resent being disturbed in the
spring, so should be the first to be
planted if changes with them are to
be made.
All plants set in the fall should be
especially well protected during the
winter to prevent them from being
heaved out by freezing and thawing.
When plants of hardy chrysanthe-
NUNS begin to show color, it is time
to give them some liquid manure.
