The Poppy.
BY ThurloW Weed.


Opium is made from the milky juice
of the opium poppy (papaver somni-
ferum), which oozes from small cuts
made in the young capsules. The
seeds have no narcotic properties
and are sold for bird food and use
on bread.
In 1880 an English clergyman was
intrigued by the fact that a blossom
of one of the wild annual field pop
pies (papaver rhoeas) had a very
narrow edge of white. Planting the
seed of this blossom, and continuing
his selection of seed through genera
ton after generation, he eventually
obtained a fixed strain bearing petals
varying in color from the brightest
scarlet to the purest pink This strain
is known today as the Shirley poppy.
The Iceland and Oriental are the two
other common types grown.
Seeds of the annual Shirley poppy
and of the Iceland poppy, which is
best treated as an annual, may be
sown in the spring. A succession
of sowings will provide greatly
extended season of bloom. The peren-
NAL Oriental poppy does best from
root divisions planted in August or
early fall. All peoples like we'll

Keeping Cut Flowers.

BY following a few simple rules
anyone can get the most from cut
flowers, says E. P. Hume of the New
York State College of Agriculture
Here are few general tips:
First, give them a treatment called
hardening off," in which the flowers
are placed in water in a cool place
away from direct sunlight for at least
several hours, preferably over night
The purpose of this hardening off,
is to stop the flowers from making
| any further growth, which would just
| waste the food stored in the stem.
Keep cut flowers as cool as posi-
BILE; they will last longer. Most
flowers can benefit from temperatures
as low as 40 degrees, except carna-
tons and orchids.
The biggest problem of all it to
keep them adequately supplied with
water. Stems should always be cut
off under water, and the cuts made
slantwise with sharp knife. Water
| then enters the stem more easily
Scientists have discovered that the
depth of water in container makes
little difference so long as the cut
surfaces are completely submerged
and the water replenished when nee
essary. Finally, keep the cut flow
ers away from direct sunlight.
| With little care, the flowers will
last surprisingly we'll and bring ample
returns in the pleasure they give.
Treat your house plants to a rair
shower via the hose some fine day this
month and next when the air is mild
a good breeze blowing and the sur
shining. Lay the flower pots or
their sides and spray the water forci-
bly, against the under sides of the
leaves. Thus you will dislodge ano
kill many red spiders, plant lice anc
mealy bugs-if they are present-a:
well as wash off dust After spraying
stand the plants upright to drain anc
get dry before taking them back te
the house. The proper time to dc
this spraying is about noon while
the air is WarmeSt.
Water your house plants thoroughly
by soaking them when they need it
Avoid sprinlSling at all times because
water so applied does not penetrate
the soil deeply enough to do any
good. One way to tell when plant:
in flower pots need water is to rar
the side of the pots with your knuckle.
so as to make a sound. If the noise
is dull thud, the plants do not need
water, but if it is more or less
distinct ring, they do. Notice, also
whether the soil has shrunk away
from the pots so as to leave a crack
around the edges If so, cut around
this edge and upon the surface be-
fore watering so water will carry some
loose soil down to fill this vacant
space.

In January lie back in front of an
open fire and dream and plan your
1889 garden-a garden planned, cared
for, and grown better than any
previous one. Digest 1888 catalogs
until the new crop starts to arrive;
read up on the plants you want to
grow; learn pest control; especially,
learn something about soils and plant
foods, for they are the basis of all
successful gardens.

 Greater Responsibility
 Q. Didn't you think that you had greater moral and ethical respon- sibility than the ordinary citizen?
 A. should have.
 o. Didn't you think that you had, under your oath as lawyer?
 A. Yes.
 e. You don't want this jury to understand that you didn't live up to your oath, do you?
 A. I didn't do a very good job of it.
 D. Do you want to freely and frankly confess to this jury that you didn't live up to your oath?
 A. want to say this, Mir. Mur- ray, I didn't do a good ljob.
 o. You now want to confess to this jury in open court that you didn't live up to your responsibility as a lawyer
 A. Have you ever been in jam, MT. Murray?
 o. have been in traffic jams, but nothing else.
 A. If that is the only kind of jam there is. that is what have been in up to the present time.
 Further on:
 Record:
 Q. Suppose I tell you now some- thing that understand-tfath hasn't transpired in this grond jury room, so I am permitted to speak of it. that Mir. Leary proposes to claim on each occasion you went to the bank and cashed these checks your self
 A. MT. Alcorn, I'm not at all sur- prised at that. If I was asked if I hadn't cashed the checks at the Wa- terbury Trust Co.,, if anybody were to ask me where the Waterbury Trust Co. was at this minute or if I had to go out and look for it, I would have to inquire at the near- est policeman.
 Juror: The day the first check was brought over, you stated that MT. Olsen brought the check and cash?
 A. That's right.
 o. presume you know that 1t is necessary for the controller of the city to si na check personally be- fore it is valid. Then he signed the check in your presence that day or was it signed when it came over.
 A. am pretty sure he signed the check there. F5l

own judgment when you went before the grand jury, didn't you? A. certainly did.
 Given Advice
 @. You had the advice of en- inent lawyers in the state of Connecticut?
 A. Brief advice.
 o. But you had the advice of Senater Danaher and States Att torney Willis of Fairfield county?s
 A. That's right.
 Record:-
 Q. Let me get back to the whole facts of this situation without any motion at all. have been told by you that you had been working with Mackenzie. It appears only half of the money was given you which the check represented. That's right, isn't it?
 A. That's right.
 Q. Then you took that half of the amount of the check and then split that? Split half of it with Mackenzie. Who retained the half of the amount of the check?
 A. Now, MT. Alcorn. you have asked me what don't know be- cause l am telling you that half of the money showed up with the checks. I had signed the first checks before I knew what was the situation. Now, without doubt, it is the only mistake made in 30 years of practice.
 Q. I'm going to inquire particu- larly about that transaction now, because the entire view is changed. It brought and involves even some others than yourself.
 A. I want to say this much, MT. Alcorn, if I had sense that I have had since I were here last week, in- stead of drifting, you would not have had me here now.
 Q. Did you make those answers to those questions?
 A. Yes.
 o. So, as I understand 1t, that on your last appearance before the grand jury you acquired some sense that you didn't have?
 A. I had talked with MT. Danaher and I had talked with MT. Willis about the situation; told them just what had happened. never went over the details. @. You want us to understand that Senator Danaher, without knowing anything about the situa- tion in this connection advised you what to do before the grand jury? A. I only saw him very shortly and the newspapers were running the story. | Danaher's Advice
 Q. Didn't you testify before the grand jury that Senator Danaher told you to go before the grand jury and state the facts?
 A. That's right.
 0. So then you anticipated being called before the grand jury?
 A. I rather expected-yes.
 Q. will repeat the last answer I read:
 Record: A. want to say this much, MT. Alcorn, if had the sense that l
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-12

have had some talk with Leary about it because, as understand, it was at that time that Mackenzie said that Rorabach said that was the way they do things in Water bury. Then what happened?
 A. There wasn't much said about it. I never liked it.
 Q. I can see why you never liked it.
 A. It bothered me as nothing has done in my practice = but that is done.
 Q. Tell us what took place there what Leary said-unless you want to carry the whole load. Aside from the Record:-
 e. Did you make those answers to those questions? A. Yes. Liability Tinted
 o. Now, when MT. Alcorn was making suggestions that there might be a liability on your part to carry the whole load, did it disturb you?
 A. Not more than had been. | o. Did you feel that by dump ing the load that you could evade responsibility and embarrassment in the situation?
 A. No.
 Q. Did you feel that was what the states attorney was trying to get you to do? A. I think he was trying to know the facts of the case. Record:- @. Whose proposition was it. yours or Leary's? A. Certainly not mine. Q. I understand that what took place there must have put you on inquiry of what Leary was attempt ing to do. A. No question.
 @. Whose responsibility was 1t? A. think that the full respon- sibility rests upon MT. Leary. Aside from the record:-
 Did you make that answer to that question?
 A. Yes.
 o. By that time, you had made up your mind that the most ex- pedient thing to do was to dump the load on the shoulders of Dan Leary.
 A. No.
 o. You hadn't done it on your prior three appearances before the grand jury, had you?
 A. No.
 o. And it was at this moment under examination of the states attorney that you determined to dump the load on the shoulders of Dan Leary.
 A. No, I had determined to tell the facts.
 Record:
 Q.How, did he say whether he split with anybody?
 A. No, he didn't
