Shrubs Can Be Moved at this Time
of Year

of Year
If you plan to do any transplant
ing of shrubs, do it right now. No
vember and December are the best
months for moving plants, and they
will start their next growing sea-
son in better shape if they are given
the winter season to become accll-
mated to the new location.
If the plant to be moved is de-
ciduous drops its foliage in the
winter), it is not necessary to re-
move a ball of earth with the plant.
Evergreens require the removal OF
dirt with them. A two to six foot
native plant is usually the best size
to move. Care should be taken to re-
move all the roots possible with the
plant and avoid bruising the roots
any more than is absolutely neces-
sary.
1t will be found helpful in NOV
ing a native plant to dig a trench
around the plant one season before
moving it. This trench should be 10
to "a inches deep, and the distance
from the plant should be great
enough to avoid cutting the larger
roots. The object in digging the
trench is to stimulate the growth OF
fine roots near the base of the plant

the soil, it should be Immediately
set out in its new position. If it is
to be transferred some distance be-

the plant should be placed in moist

The hole in which the plant is to

Gaps In Our knowledge Of Certain
North Carolina Birds.

While it must be evident to any
thinking person that our knowledge
Of North Carolina birds must have
many gaps in it, yet it is no doubt
not so clear that this applies to
many of our commonest birds, and
shall cite a few examples, re-
marking by the way that the gaps
are apt to be greater with winter
and resident birds, the latter be-
cause of the short days and bad
weather Of that season, and the
former because they are often so
familiar that nobody bothers to re-
DCrt them.
First we need more breeding rec

first noted as breeding in the state

tus of the MOckingbird in the noun

they ever occur at this season fur

Senate Champions
EviCfed Indians

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 81. CUP)-
The state senate by resolution to-
day urged congress to grant south
ern California Indians permission
to sue the government for compen-
sation for land the white man de-
priVed them of nearly a century
ago.
The resolution, approved unani-
mously by the upper house, would
affect only mon treaty" tribes.
Congress in 1923 authorized suits by
Indians who were provided for in
18 treaties of 1851 and 1852 which
never were ratified by the federal
government.
The state attorney generals Of
flee is handling claims made by
the redmen's descendants. An es-
timated $100000,000 worth of prop
erty, from which the Indians were
forcibly evicted during California
pioneer days, is involved in the dis
putes between the Redman and his
conquerors.

RELIEF IN
HUMAN TERMS
(ChriStian Science M0nitor)

After the House Appropriations Sub
committee voted to cut the deficiency
relief appropriation from 1915, 100000
to S725, ,000, 900, President Roosevelt COM
mented that the anti-spending group in
Congress seemed to be thinking more
in terms of dollars than in terms OF hu-
man beings. While this may be true OF
some extreme conservatives, 1t also may
be said that members of congress who
believe relief administration must be
seriously revised are thinking very much
in terms of how human beings act.
Appearing Wednesday before Sen
ate committee considering confirmation
of his appointment as secretary of COM
merce, Harry Hopkins conceded that If
he had it to do over he would not make
political speeches while acting as WPA
administrator and that it would have
been better if local functionaries respon-
sible for abuses in Kentucky had been
pitched OUT Immediately. Several all
too human tendencies beset the admins
tration of relief under whatever auspices.
One is the disposition of politicians to
exploit it for partisan purposes. Another
is the temptation for many recipients to
regard it as kind of permanent support
and to become dependent upon it. Still
another is the inclination of communities
to suppose they are getting something Tor
nothing so long as funds for work relief
are federally supplied.
Turning relief administration back to
state and local agencies is not a panacea
for these ills but it would mitigate them
to a considerable extent. The federal
government would have to keep some
supervision over the use of Federal
grants in aid to prevent mishandling by
local political cliques. But decentraliza-
ton by placing the actual disbursements
in the hands of local boards locally chos
Ell would rouse more of sense of i'm
mediate responsibility and probably in
troduce more discernment into the dis
tribution.
The cut which the house subcommit-
tee proposes may be unduly deep in view
of the numbers still out of work, but if
thousands are laid off by WPA the effect
will be to emphasize that they either
must be hired by employers who have
argued retrenchment would aid business
or must be taken care of by local relief.
