SEC Endorses
Revision Of
Security Laws
International New. Service Wire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.ZCon-
gress today had received sweeping
proposals TO revise the securities
laws to simplify administration
and compliance with both the 1888
and 1884 securities acts.
In two lengthy reports, compris-
ing 600 pages. the investment and
brokerage houses and the securi-
ties and exchange commission
jointly transmitted more than so
recommendations for revision of
the laws.
Although many OF the proposed
revisions have been advocated by
either the houses or the govern
ment since the acts were approved
in the early days of the New Deal,
IL Is not expected that Congress
will begin consideration Of the
proposals until next January, at
the earliest.

BOTH PARTIES AGREE

A spokesman for the securities
industry cited recommended
simplified procedure for filing
registration statements as one OF
the outstanding proposals agreed
10 by both parties.
The extent of this simplification,
however. was not agreed upon,
The brokers and dealers suggest
ing that all new issues Of securi-
ties aggregating less than $780,
900 be exempted from registra-
ton. while the SEC contended
that the dividing figure should be
100000. At present, SEC law
makes il mandatory 10 register
all securities offerings totaling
more than 100000.
Another important proposal
agreed 10 by both the brokers and
the SEC. was the Qualification Of
the civil liabilities sections Of
the laws which makes il possible
for brokers 10 give their custom
ers more information on new Sc
curities issues, without running
the risk OF being penalized by re-
quirements of the present acts.

Azaleas Are
in
Popularity
AMedium Acid Soil
Is Important for
Healthy Plants
Bp the Master Gardener

-
More than ever before azaleaS are
gaining their rightful popularity In
our gardens.
Most authorities agree that aza-
leas require medium acid soil, a
OH of SIS being desirable. The use
of peat moss as planting medium
has therefore been successful. Most
of the better grades of horticultural
peat moss are naturally quite acid
and when combined with the proper
quantities of plant food provides a
roofing medium that assures success
from the beginning.
Soil sulphur, aluminium Sulphate,
or iron sulphate may be used to re-
duce pH content of soils, although
soil sulphur is generally preferred.
Regardless of which material is
used, it should be applied three
weeks before feelings, or three weeks
after feeding aZaleas. Never use
more than 3 pounds per 100 square
feet at one application. If more is
needed, repeat at six to eight week
intervals. Simple, inexpensive soil
testing outfits for determining PHI
may be secured from most garden
supply dealers.
1t is very important not to get the
soil too acid. Repeated apphca-

If the garden has not been heav-
lily fertilized for several years, the
addition of manure or fertilizer, in
limited quantity, is allowable For
a start use about 10 pounds of a

in correct mathematical proportion.
Later, when flowers grow small,
leaves yellow or other signs indicate

This plan is based on meeting
plant food requirements when the

quantities recommended. If larger
quantities are furnished the seeding
or baby plants may suffer severe

daffodils, remind us of the country
side and of simple pastoral pleasures.
When arranging them, try using ap-

tions of acid materials are harmful
once the proper PHI range has been
attained
Azaleas should be planted about
the same depth as they grew in the
original container-never higher. A
slight depression is advantageous
so that a thin mulch of peat moss
may be added to the surface Of the
soil. Wet the peat moss thoroughly
before using. While peat moss IS
considered one Of the best forms OF
humus, remember it usually con-
tainS little, if any, plant food.
The amount of plant food required
depends upon the size Of the plants
and manner in which they are
planted.
Where individual plants are set
out, mix thoroughly one to three
tablespoonfuls with the peat or soil
used in filing around the plant.
Every six to eight weeks during the
growing season feed the plants at
the rate of one rounded tablespoon
full per square foot placing the plant
food out under the drip of the
branches and working lightly into
the soil.

Ounce Will
Give Early
Bloom
New Varieties Have
Been Developed
By Breeders
Br A. e.. Mclean

Every one enjoys early-blooming
shrubs, and one of the best of them
is Towering ounce, or Chaenom-
eleS, which will sometimes burst
into bloom in March if in a sheltered
place. Strictly, this is not true
ounce, but is very closely related to
it. The shrub is also known as
Japanese ounce.
This is an old-time shrub, but
new varieties of it are available.
The older forms had bright red
flowers and some of them did not
bloom very profusely The newer
varieties have been developed in
pink, red and white and even
striped in several colors, and some
of them are much more profuse in
their blooming habits.
A collection of these shrubs will be
beautiful and useful for the border
not only for their early Towering
habits but also for forcing. Branches
may be cut and brought into the
house at this time of the year Very
often japanese ounces set quanti-
ties of fruit, which can be used in
the same way as regular ounces
for making jellies, although they do
not have such pronounced flavor.
Ask your nurseryman about the
newer varieties of japanese ounces
and try some of them; you will be
we'll repaid. Plant some of the
lighter pink and white varieties
as well as the new deep blood-red
ones. If these plants are obtained
on their own roots. you can very
soon build up the stock from root
cuttings or suckers. They do not
root easily from top cuttings.
The plant will grow on any we'll
drained soil. They are quite easy
to maintain once they are estab-
lished, but they may need spraying
for scale-the same as all ounces
and pears do. Most of the japanese
ounces are not seriously troubled
by fire-blight, the bacterial disease
so prevalent on regular ounce and
pear trees.

Urged
In Sowing
Lawns
Seed terminates
Better During
Cool Season

In making a new lawn in the
spring it is very important that
the seedbed be prepared and seed
sown Just as early as it is possible
to work the soil properly. Other
wise you are apt to have to remake
your lawn in the fall.
Here is the reason for haste.
Grass seed terminates and the
young grass plants develop best
when the weather is cool and moist.
Such conditions result in a deep,
extensive root growth, capable OF
supporting healthy dense top
growth all through the growing
season. developing a beautiful per-
manent turf.
If seeding is delayed, and the seed
does not germinate until the weather
becomes hot and dry, many OF the
Young grass plants may die, and
those that survive will not be deep
rooted and vigorous.
If the area to be seeded has pre-
viously been infested with weeds,
it is doubly important that the
lawn be made early. Weeds do not
terminate until late spring. Early
seeding gives the grass a chance to
establish itself before the weeds
spring into growth, and to crowd
out any weeds that may appear
later.
MANY gardeners fail to recognize
the Importance of applying a COM
plete plant TODD to the seedbed
when mating new lawn. But this
is one of the factors that determines
lust how successful a new lawn will
be. Though you may obtain the
very best of seed, and that seed
may germinate almost 100 per cent,
this does not assure a good stand OF
grass. What determines whether
YOU will have a good thick sod is
how many of those grass plants
live and continue to make healthy,
balanced growth. Without ample
nourishment many of the young
SIdSS lJldIIUo Will ulC. 41lOoO OAAA I
survive, if the plant food is not
available, will produce poor turf
thin, of poor color, subject to
weed invasion, shallow-rooted and
unable to resist drought conditions
the grass may have to face later
in the season. 1t is at the crucial
stage, just after termination, that
food is especially needed, and this
can only be supplied by incorporat-
ing the plant food in the seed bed
before the grass seed is soWn.
Purchase a balanced plant food
one that contains all of the elements
needed for maximum growth. Ap-
ply at the rate of pounds per 100
square feet, making application after
the seedbed has been prepared and
the soil leveled. Rake the plant
food in lightly, then seed. A plant
food spreader is helpful in obtain
ing even distribution of plant food
as well as grass seed.

The Garden Notebook
Dahlia Tubers That Are Too Dry
Should Be Soaked in Water

There are still many lines of ac-
tivity for the home gardener despite
the cold and recent SHOWS. One of
the jobs well worth doing Is that of
checking the dahlia tuberS and the
gladioluS and Gamma COrms. Take
them out of storage and examine
for signs of drying or of rot. If
the cormS and tubers are showing
signs of dryneSS. it is well to moisten
slightly-but not enough to encour-
age rot. Dahlia tubers that have
become too dry can be soaked until
plump in pail OF water and then
dried and packed away.
To increase the stock of dahlias
one can pack them in a box of sand,
water and place them in a warm
spot, preferably in the sun, although
that is not necessary. As the new
shoots appear they are broken off
at least 4 inches long and rooted in
the sand. Cuttings generally root
very readily and can be potted up in
a mixture of sand and soil in small
pots or berry boxes. Keep them
growing vigorously in a sunny win
dow and by Che time it is warm
enough for planting in the garden
they will be strong and ready to
give a good account of themselves.
1t is not too late to SOW the seeds
CT hardy ANIMALS in the borders OF
garden where they are to grow. Rake
the soil, or if it is in good shape,
the seed may be SoWn without rak-
ing Scatter the seed rather thinly
and let nature cover them as she
will. Such seed as annual larkspurS,
cornfloWers and California poppies
do much better if treated in this
manner than if carefully planted in
