Gardening
When Iris Stops Blooming.
Lift and Divide Plants
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Garden Editor, Detroit Times

THE LAST of the bearded
iris are saying farewell-unless
they happen to be the fall
blooming sorts which with good
feeding and additional water for
a month or so will give more
bloom when cool weather comes.
But most bearded varieties
are on the wane and just after
their last blooms fade is the time
when they should be lifted and
divided for more plants to grace
the garden or TO give TO friends.
Remove Soil
Lift each clump that has
grown too large or shows signs
of dying out In the center and
remove as much. OF the soil as
possible. II necessary use the
hose and wash the excess dirt
off.
Then take a good look at the
clump. Nine cases out Of 10
some of the rhizomes are soft
and squashy. This Is iris rot
and these parts should be cut
out and burned.
Other rhizomes will be mere
shells, or will be .riddled with
tunnels. This is the work OF the
iris borer-follow the tunnels in
the direction of the green leaves
and maybe you'll find the borer
himself Tor maybe IL should be
herselD. Have no mercy what
soever-destroy the borer in any
way you see fit--then discard
the ruined rootstocks.
Select Strongest
BY this time there won't be
30 much of a clump as you
started with. Select the
strongest growing parts and
leave just one or two sections of
rootstock to each shoot OF
leaves.
Then reduce the leaf surface
In, proportion. Generally this
means cutting the leaves

inches from the base.
Make all cuts, whether on leaf
or rhizome, with a sharp tool.
A tinsnip or pruning shears is
good for the leaves, a knife is
best for dividing the root por-
ton. Be sure the cut on the
roots Is clean, no loose edges
hanging.
Then dip the cut edge In dust
ing sulphur. This Is a pre-
cautionary measure. TO lessen
chances of rot or fungus diseases

opening.

The busting sulphur MAY be
bought at any feed or seed store

The Menaca of
Self Pity
For Charles Sickle, Inc.
BY RUTH TAILOR

THE MENACE OF SELF PITY
Self pity is far deadlier in its
effect than any poison gas ever
invented. It has destroyed
whole nations as il grew and
spread its devastating smoke
screen.
Over ten years ago, on the
train from Bremen to Cologne,
a German woman spoke to me
of this. We talked a mixture of
German and English with the
aid of a pocket dictionary all
the way down the Rhineland,
past the smoke filled industrial
towns that have learned in the
last months the force of the
r. A. F.
She said-"There is something
wrong growing. feel it. I have
two boys. One Of them when he
misses with his ball just laughs
and tries again. But the other
he is my trouble. When he
misses he always says the sun
was in his eyes or somebody
pushed him. That is what is
happening to our people. They
vii not laugh and try to throw
the ball right. They keep
thinking it is not their fault. I
can stop it with my boy-but I
cannot stop it with my people
and the end viii be bad"
What self pity can do to ma
ton we have seen in the rise of
Hitler. We are face to face to-
day with the problem of how
to keep from our shores the
forces he has unleaShed. But
we must also keep out the
source from which his power
muShroomed.
There is no self pity here?
But there is! The young people
say, There is nothing for Us to-
day-we can't live normal lives
the way your generation could.
There is no future for u.s. The
adults complain Of the taxes
they have to pay-oYerlooking
that these taxes are a small
price to pay for freedom. A
howl goes up when the slight
est restriction is placed on the
people as whole, for the good
Of the people as a whole.
We do like to complain. And
our freedom to do so is the un-
written codieil to the Bill of
Rights. But we must take care
not to let natural grousing turn
into self-pity. This is the stuff
upon which the dictators feed
a fungus growth that can choke
a healthy nation, Sapping the
unity Of purpose that is the
cornerstone of our democratic
way Of life.
