Growing
Crocuses
In The Lawn
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Garden Editor, The Detroit Time

OF ALL the little bulbs that
bloom in early spring, the showi-
est are the early blooming
crocuses. Most people want to
naturalize these - that is grow
them in the lawn. To do this,
buy the crosuses in either mixed
colorS or in named varieties, de-
pending on personal taste.
Many people prefer sheets Of
single colors in larger groupings
rather than all colors grouped
together.
Lavenders, puppies, whites and
yellows complete the color range
in this family.
Once the bulbs are on hand,
mark the outlines of the pro-
posed planting. Then, taking
handful of the corms. toss them
in the air and plant them where
they fall. Then move a foot or
two and repeat the performance.
This will guarantee a natural
appearance in the planting.
Plant on Margin
After the blooms, the tufts or
leaves appear and these make
the food to be stored in next
years CORN. If the lawn is cut
and the crocus leaves are cut
with it. obviously there will be
no new cormS.
The remedy for this is to plant
only around the margins of the
lawn, where it is possible for
the grass to remain uncut until
late June, when the crocus leaves
turn brown and il is permissible
TO cut them. Or else-juSt don't
plant them in the lawn.
Planting depth is just an inch
or two under the surface of the
soil. Using small. sharp pointed
trowel, lay back the sod to this
depth, pop the CORN in, flat side
at the bottom, and lay the sod
back in place, firming it with the
trowel.
The one caution to be observed
In planting is not TO injure the
little knobs on the corms.
These are the bud S for the
flowers and once upon a time I
knew some one who carefully re-
moved all these before planting
as she guessed they were fungi"
and then she wondered and Won
dered why her bulbs didn't bloom
in the spring!

Banning Held
As Slayer al
Mexican Line
FBI Arrests Detroiter
in BIudeeon-Killine
OF Windsor Woman

Wayne Banning, accused as the
bludgeon slayer Of Mrs. Doris
Munt OF Windsor, wife OF Cana
dian sailor, has been arrested in
Laredo. Tex, where ne attempted
TO cross the border into Mexico.
IN was learned today.
Banning. crippled garage worker
charged with smuggling pretty 35-
year-old Mrs. Munt. was seized
by immigration authorities on q
federal fugitive warrant forwarded
there by the FBL
He had been sought since No
vember 19, when the body Of Mrs.
Munt. her head crushed by an
automobile jack. was found In q
Lincoln Park field.
LAST PERSON WITH HER
Banning. her sutton while her
Canadian sailor husband was on
sea duty. had been the last person
seen with her.
Police Chief Floyd Crichton of
Lincoln Park. Detective 1t. George
Branton and probably a represen-
-tatire- of-.he prosecutor office
were expected 10 leave today or
tomorrow for the Texas border
town. In addition 10 the federal
fugitive warrant. state extradition
papers were expected.
Apprehension of Banning re-
suited from the Inerring accuracy
OF the FBI and local officials in
predicting what the 30-year-old
fugitive would DO.
PREVIOUS MEXICO TRIP
Learning that Banning and Mrs
Munt. Windsor war worker. mad
made = trip together 10 Laredo
last summer. and that Banning
had crossed the line into New

Troy Backs Up
Gov. Langlie
Had Authority to
Cdncel Old Debts

OLYMPIA - Attorney General
Smith Troy Wednesday backed
Gov. Arthur B. Langiie in his
action caneeiling Si.75o.000 owed
the state By counties for care Of
insane patients.
state Auditor Cliff Yelle had
criticized the governor As acting
illegally by making a personal
oral settlement with the counties
after vetoing a 1871 legislative
bill 10 write off the debt.
Troy said in a letter TO Yelle
the governor had ample legal su-
thority to cancel the counties
debt. which was done last winter
with Troy's blessing.
Counties agreed to pay insane
care costs incurred prior to 1888
IL the state would cancel the debts
which piled up after that.
Troy said the governors action
did not violate the constitution by
cancelling the debt, as Yelle con-
tended. because the money was
not a tax but a fee.
Troy also said the department
Of finance, budget and business
could hire private collection
agency to collect money due the
state from relatives Of insane pa
tients. Yelle had attacked this
arrangement
