Gardeners Nook
BY GARDEN CLUB EDITOR

l have little garden where many
flowers are SEEN
Bright lilies bend beside the walks
and daisies in the green.
There pansies grow, and tulips and
many a lovely flower;
They blossom in my garden and give
me JOY each hour.
1 have another garden that I must
tend with care
And fill with lovely growing things
lest weeds should gather there.
May sweetness, kindness, mercy, and
joy be in each part
To grace this other garden-the gar
den of my heart.
The most dreaded insect enemy of
iris is the iris-borer.
The adult moth of the iris-borer is
a night flying moth which makes its
appearance late in September. While
the eggs are laid at that time they
do not hatch until the following
spring. In May the larva crawls
upon the iris leaves and proceeds to
gnaW out the soft tissue between the
upper and lower surface of the leaf,
then crawls inside and becomes a leaf
miner.
The damage is done to the iris
leaf as the larva bores down toward
the root. When the larva reaches
the rhiZome or tuberous root of the
iris plant it eats out great tunnels,
after which it leaves the plant and
enters the soil to pupate. In about
five weeks it appears again, this time
as the adult moth.
To control the depredations of
the iris-borer, spray the foliage early
in the spring to kill the larva as they
start chewing the leaf edges. Use
four tablespoons of lead arsenate and
two teaspoons of nicotine Sulphate to
a gallon of water. Later in the sea-
son check the rhizome and cut out
any borerS' that are found after which
clean the wound in the rhizome with
! permanganate solution.
Sweet peas will need deep mulch
ing or careful watering during June
and July; otherwise their stems will
be short, their flowers small and few
in number. A good plan is to have a
trench on each side of the rows and
to fill this each week with water dur
ing dry weather.
Stockiness of such flowers as zin-
MIA, hardy chrysanthemum, China as
ter, cosmos and tall marigolds can
easily be gained by pinching out the
leader" or terminal bud when the
plants are six or more inches tall.
| This will cause them to branch and
have longer branches than if allowed
to grow naturally. 1t should also in
crease the number of blossoms.
Late planted gladiolus bulbs will
start quickly if treated a week be-
fore planting as follows: Place them,
bases down, on layer of moist peat
moss, Sphagnum moss or sand in shall
low pans or flats and cover with
newspaper to check evaporation.
Then plant outside carefully to avoid
breaking the sprouts. Set crooked
sprouts so they point straight up, even
though the bulbs must be tilted to
do so. Moistened bulbs will bloom a
week or two earlier than dry ones.
Times that cut flowers will last are

You know in the light of compar-
ison, our own President Franklin don't
look so bad alongside the King of
England, even if the Republicans
don't like him and even if he does
keep men around who like to pillow
up crops and slaughter little pigs.

With the exception of those things
1 have just pointed out there seems
to be very little difference in the two
men they merely live in a diff
ferent part of the world, one in that
part which our forefathers weren't
satisfied to live in.

The President of the USA likes
to smile and be familiar, trait we
commonplace Americans like .. the
King of England smiles, but it is with
the well known English dignity.

Now that the King and Queen of
England are about to visit us, this
weeks column might as well be de-
voted to them and not wasted on the
politicians and Congress.

Another thing! The President OF
the United States is not exiled after
he ceases to serve as President
why just the other day we heard
from Herbert Hoover.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-06-01

Another difference is that any of
our governors can go to see the Pres
ident, but by golly, they don't seem
to be able to get to meet the King.

i Would Say
BY A. w. CONAWAY

I've just finished reading lengthy
detailed item on how the King and
Queen of England will be protected
from the time they enter the United
States until they leave our shores
1t is narrated that some $4,000 police
men and soldiers will protect the pre-
cious lives of England's royalty. Be-
hind them will stand two veterans
in government service who ''know the
ropes" and ahead of them will run
two pilot trains and there will be
guards over each overhanging cliff
and each tunnel

Our President is a human being
and we can kick him out the same
as we do a neighbor when he comes
onto our place to start an argument
but the king; never; He's an
institution and is with England until
he dies . for better or for worse.

I wonder which of the pilot trains
will be used by the Royal Couple
Gosh, they surely won't use the Royal
train you know the most effec-
tive way to avoid capture is for a
refugee to help hunt for himself
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-06-01

Our President has a great deal of
power. He is Communicated chief of
the armed forces of the nation and
he can make two-thirds of Congress
scratch to beat the band to pass a law
over his veto. Shucks, over in England
no one kids himself that the King
rules the British Empire he
reigns but never rules. He acts only
upon the advice and with the consent
of his ministers.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-06-01

Our President likes to fish, but the
King of England attends strictly to
his knitting" Our Presidents wife
likes to fly, make speeches and write
for newspapers, but not the Queen of
England English institutions do
not fly, neither do they speak nor
write for newspapers.

Over in England they have book
which is used religiously to find pro-
per titles for proper times when adj
dressing the King or Queen. Over
here we sometimes, but not neces-
sarily, look into a certain book fol-
adequate expression to our thoughts
about the President.

President Franklin eats hot dogs
at picnics and so does his wife, but
not the King of England nor his
Queen :. they call theirs by another
name.

The President of the United States
succeeds to his office if and when
he can attain sufficient political
astuteness to get a plurality of the
people to vote for him, but not the
King of England Some one must
die first or fall in love with an Amer
lean girl.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-06-01

In England the King can always be
assured of dying in plenty, but here
in the United States the one-time
President may die like the rest of us.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-06-01

Over in England the press sees to
it that the attitude of God Save the
King is carefully fostered Over
here the press, if it doesn't like him,
sees to it that the attitude "dad-burn
the President" is fostered.

When King of England is once in
office even the Republicans like him
but such is not the case with our
Democratic President.

AAAAAAAAANs
strikingly parallel with the career
Of his predecessor, Associate Judge
stedman Prescott Of the sixth Mary
land circuit, is that Of Robert Peter,
new State Senator from Montgom-
cry County.
Chums in early boyhood and po-
litical allies in later life, both served
their county first as States attor-
ney and then gained q seat in the
Senate while holding the office Of
chairman Of the Democratic organ
ization.
Senator Peter comes from family
that long has played prominent
part in the legal and legislative
affairs Of both Montgomery County
and Western Maryland.
His father, the late Judge Robert
B. Peter, at one time was States
attorney for the county and after
ward became associate justice for
the sixth Maryland circuit embrace
ing Montgomery and Frederick
Counties.
Grandfather President Of Senate.
George Peter, his grandfather, was
State Senator from Montgomery
and president Of the Senate during
the 1888 legislative session, while his
great grandfather, the late Maj.
George Peter, was a member OF the
House of Representatives from the
Western Maryland district
An uncle. the late Edward C..
Peter, also held the Offices of States
attorney for Montgomery and asso-
ciate judge of the sixth circuit and
at one time was president Of the
Maryland Bar Association.
Robert Peter, Senator Peters great,
great grandfather, was the first
mayor of Georgetown when the COM
munity that now is a part of the
District of Columbia was a Mary
land municipality.
Born in Rockville, the new legis-
lator attended Rockville Academy,
then entered George Washington
University Law School. The war
interrupted his legal education. He
enlisted in the Navy in 1917 and was
sent to the Reserve Onicers' School
at Hampton Roads, Va, graduating
with an ensign's rank. He did not
get oevrseas.
Graduated in 1920.
He returned to college to graduate
In 1920. then continued his school,
ing for another year to obtain a
masters degree. He studied in his
fathers Office while In school and
became associated with his father
after graduation.
Senator Peters father assembled
the bench in 1923 and the son con-
tinued in private practice until
1925, when he was elected States
Evening star., 1939-01-08

attorney. He resumed private prac-
tice when his term expired and was
rejoined by his father when the
latter, in Ill health, quit the bench
in 1882.
The Montgomery Senator was
elected to the Democratic State
Central Committee for the county
In 1884. In 1885 he was appointed
special counsel to the county treas
urer and last spring was made
chairman Of the Democratic organi-
zatlon when Mr.. Prescott, then State
Senator, retired from that Office to
become a candidate for the Judi
ciary.
Active In Legion.
Senator Peter formerly was vice
president of the Maryland Bar As
Soclatlon and secretary of the Mont
gomery County Bar Association. He
is one of the organizers of the
Rockville Post of the American
Legion and was the second to COM
mand that unit. A member of the
Rockville Rotary Club and all Ma
sonic bodies, he has held minor
offices in the latter.
The Senator is married and the
father OF two children. He and his
relatives always have been stanch
Democrats, but they were not
always allied with the Democratic
organization.
His father, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee for
the county at one time, headed the
anti-organization Democrats, bitter
rivals of the organization, before
the two factions signed their first
harmony pact in 1921. The late
Judge Peter was elected States at
torney on the ticket of the united
factions that year.

give the court JurlSdlct ct1on over ad-
ditional tribal claims.
He hopes that the Indian Affairs
Committee will agree to submit such
legislation to the Attorney General
and controller general before re-
porting it to the House-"so we can
stop all this wrangling."
But if they DON'T" he said, "Im
going to fight them. They can't
get by with continuing to bring in
bills that put the Government in
the hole without a chance for de-
fense."
Interest Aroused by Remark.
Mr.. Cochran's interest in the
claims legislation was aroused in
February, 1885, by casual con-
versation with one of the judges OF
the court.
Jack he said to me, we've got
a situation in the court that don't
believe the members of Congress
know about, and it's going to be
hell" Mr.. Cochran related.
"At that time Congress had passed
ia resolutions, giving the court
jurisdiction over claims amounting
to more than $500, ,OOO, 900. Well,
thought that was silly and I got
busy"
He's been busy since, frequently
to the evaporation of congressman
from Indian States.
He got a rider on the 1899 In
terror Department appropriation
bill authorizing the Government to
credit against Indian claims all
sums it had spent for the benefit of
the tribesmen.
Bill and rider passed both houses
"They passed before these Indian
boys found out about it." Mr.. Coch-
ran said, land when they did find
out, they were the maddest people
you ever saw"
Bills Turn Up Again.
But we haven't seen the last OF
these bills, by long shot," he said
1--WE lick them, and they wait until
almost everybody but the Indians
lawyers has forgotten about them
and then they bring them up again.
So every time an Indian claims
bill comes up for debate, Mr.. Coch-
ran is there, an expression Of an
noyed skepticism on his face, q
hand cupped behind an ear to catch
each word Of the argument, and
under his arm q briefcase contain
ing reports on all pending Indian
claims.
"Why, there are couple Of tribes
which claim the Government ought
to pay them for all the gold that's
been taken out Of South Dakota {
Black Hills" he declared. 'Whc
did the Indians take the land away
from? Do we owe them, too?"
