I wish 1t were possible to stop
talking about the lack of moisture,
especially in those gardens where
supplemental watering has not been
feasible. The recent showers have
not moistened the soil to any ap-
preciable depth, and it now seems
quite possible that we will have
serious losses this winter II the
weather is at all severe. Many
pear to be going into the winter in
a rather weakened condition.
There is very little that can be
done to save the perennials except
to cover with pine brush and mulch.
The evergreens may be helped by
thoroughly soaking the soil. Their
roots need moisture at all times to
compensate for that given of by the
leaves. The need for moisture may
be reduced by covering with laths
or burlap shelters. This is hardly
feasible for large, well-established
trees. the ones most likely to be
wind-swept and burned by winter
sun.
As soon as fall-planted pansy
plants are well established they
should be deeply mulched with we'll
rotted COW manure or enriched COM
post. Do not cover the foliage.
Pansies need generous supplies OF
plant food and moisture If they are
to produce large flowers, which seem
to be so desirable.
The false pine web worm often
attacks pine trees in this vicinity.
Tips of infested branches have
webbed masses of brownish excre-
ton among the needles. The re-
moval and burning of infested tips
will in most cases constitute the
only control necessary. Large trees
may be protected with an arsenate
of lead spray.
To keep leaves out of small lilly
pools one may build a frame large
enough to cover the pool out Of
! by 2 inch boards, and cover it with
chicken wire. Rotting leaves dis
color the water and may injure the
goldfish. This simple frame may
be left on over the winter or until
leaves stop blowing about.
The removal of seed heads OF
perennials and some shrubs not only
improves the appearance Of the gar
den, but. it will prevent unwanted
seedlings. This pruning conserves
the plants strength and contributes
to a stronger plant growth. Some
gardeners may want such seedlings,
but others will find, as I do. that
chance seedlings of asters, butterfly
bushes, coreopsis, rose of Sharon,
ETC., throughout the garden and
lawn are q nuisance.
Supplies Of bulbs for fall planting
are reported to be more plentiful
than was anticipated. Quality IN
most cases is excellent. Thus there
seems to be little excuse for gar
deners to deny themselves the col
orful displays to be obtained only
from the early spring Towering
bulbs. =
The lack of moisture and cool
weather have checked the growth
of many plants. For some this
checking was equivalent to a crest"
period, and now they are IN bloom.

Larkspur and Poppies

Annual larkspur and Oriental

Bulbs

When setting out hyacinth bulbs
place them 6 to 10 inches apart
and cover to a depth Of 4 inches.
Cover beds with leaves to prevent
bulbs freezing after growth has
started in the spring.

ute to the Negro extension agents

presidents that there was only one
way for them to find out what ex-

was to leaves their colleges; get out
with the extension agents and into
the homes of the farmers, the ten
ants and sharecroppers SO they
could see just what the life they
were trying to correct was.
Prof. Doxey Wilkerson OF How

which he is making in connection
with committee of land grant

ings show that while there have

File New Texas
Vote Ban Case
In j. 5. Court
Find Stronger
Grounds to Beat
Demos Primary
By CARTER WESLEY
By CARTER WESLEY

Houston (ANP) - Atty.
Thurgood Marshall, special
counsel for the NAACP., has
been in Texas. more than a
week working on q new pri.
mary case to be filed and car
ried up. The case which was
filed in the u. 3. District
court Friday was on behalf
of DR.. Lonnie E. Smith, local
dentist, against the election
Judges of Precinct 48, located
in the Fifth ward near the
home of DR.. Smith, and
against w D. Miller. county
clerk of Harris county.
DR.. Smith seeks damages against
the defendants on the ground that
the election judge refused to permit
him to vote July q, 1910. and the
county clerk refused to permit him
to vote an absentee ballot prior to
the July election. The election
judges and the county clerk refused
to permit him to vote in the
Democratic primary because he
was Negro, and they claimed
authorization under the resolu-
ton of the Democratic party to
bar Negroes from Democratic
primaries
ONE DISTINCTION
The only distinction between this
case of DR.. Smith and the Hasgett
case, which was tried little while
ago, lies in the fact that the Has
gett case sought damages for re-
fusal to permit Hasgett to vote in
the run-off primary, August "a, in
which there were no federal office
seekers up, and in the July primary
there were both congressman and
senators seeking offices
1t is clear that the legal staff of
the NAACP has decided, in the
light Of the u. s.. VS.. Classic case
which went up in May from New
Orleans land in which the SUI
preme court held that a primary is
an integral part Of general cleo
ton and subject to the same fed
eral prohibitions as those protect
ing the genera! election), they will
carry the case UP on a broader
ground and have the issue settled
once and for all.
HASGETT CASE
The Hasgett case was prepared
and tried with the Grcvey case
seemingly standing well athwart
the path Of Negroes seeking to en-
ter the Democratic primary. Then
after il had been tried in the lower
court and was on its way to the
circuit court Of appeals, the su.
preme court virtually ove1ralled the
famous Newberry case, which has
set the pattern for the courts as
well as congress in holding that
the primary Is not an election in
the words of the constitution and
fede1al laws. Now the court holds
specifically and definitely, that the
primary Is not only an integral
part Of the election, but In many
instances In the south, actually the
election itself. This Is tin. con
tention that Negroes have been
making throughout the years as
they fought for right to enter
the Democratic primary.
The Classic case was q criminal
suit, but It involved Interpretation
Of the constitution and Of federal

A FEW YEARS AGO Delmar Withrow
was in tough spot. His wife was a town
girl and wanted to stay there. His parents
had homestead on top of West Virginia's
dark Miller Mountain. His father was i'll.
His mother was old. Both needed their son.
Either the old folks must come down to
the valley and live in their small home
with Delmar and Paullie and the two
babies, or the young Withrows must go
up to the mountain farm.
If they moved to the farm, they faced:
A two-hour motor trip over steep, muddy
road which was guaranteed to tear the car
apart. Isolation from their friends. Long
distances from any hospital or doctor.
Delmar said an airplane was the answer.
Five minutes would put them in town. He
looked through the magazines and chose
two-seater $1,000 trainer" He sold his
car and cow and bought the plane with
$500 down payment He took seven hours
instruction and soloed. Then, after six
more hours in the air, he flew home
THE FIELD he had chosen was L-shaped.
He had to land on the long part of the L.
kick his rudder sharply to make right
angle turn around cherry tree and then
finish the run down the other leg of the L.
He built small hangar onto the tractor
shed and started using the plane for farm
work. He carried sucking pigs and lambs
down to hotel at White Sulphur Springs
