advertising disease free bulbs.
Basal rot can be controlled by
treating the bulbs. If discovered in
time one may remove the diseased
portion of the bulb, disinfecting the
remainder with sulphur, bichloride
of mercury, or with bordeaux. Oft
entimes, however, we do not recog-
nize its presence until the bulb has
entirely disappeared. Lack of good
drainage is usually conducive to de-
ve1opment of basal rot.
Not all kinds of lilies are Suscep-
tible to mosaic. The common Tiger
lily q. tigrinium) does not seem to
be affected by it, although other
kinds of lilies planted near Tiger
lilies soon show signs of mosaic. In
other words, do not attempt to grow
other kinds of lilies near the Tiger
lily. The beautiful Regal lily seems
to be tolerant of mosaic In a
planting of several kinds of lilies at
the Beltsville Research Center it was
evident that the Regal was appar-
entity unaffected by the mosaic, while
almost all others were injured to a
considerable degree. (The Preston
hybrids also seemed immune.0
Drainage Very
important.
According to George L. Slate, one
of the moremost lily specialists in
this country, any good garden soil
fhnt will Y,Ntotnnc or riy1
MAS will grow lilies However, in
this area where many of our soils
are heavy impervious clay, it would
be well to insure proper Subsurface
drainage before planting lily bulbs.
Too often our soils when properly
prepared by Incorporating humus,
act as tanks. The rainfall and wa
ter from the hose soak into the bed,
but the excess will drain away into
the subsoil.
Most lilies like soil that is on the
loamy side, some sand and conSid-
cradle humus-either peatmoss or
compost-Well stirred into the soil to
a depth of a foot or more. Most of
the lilies seem to thrive in an acid
soil, although according to some re-
ports, L. specioSum seems to do best
In a sweet soil.
The choice of location OF a lily bed
depends upon the variety to be
grown Some varieties, such as L..
henryi, fade in the sun, While L..
superbum likes shade. Most of the
others prefer full sun. None seem to
thrive in situation where the soil
above the roots is exposed to baking
Thus we may grow them among
small shrubs or perennials that
shade the soil. Or, we may mulch
the soil in the summer with peat
moss and grow them in our flower
beds.
Lilies need protection from strong
winds and the beds should be To-
Gated as far as possible to give them
some shelter.
Require an Adequate
Feeding Program.
Recent experiments conducted at
Beltsville by the Bureau of Plant
Industry indicate the Importance of
an adequate feeding program. 1t is
advisable to work well-rotted ma
nure into the soil below the bulbs
and to supplement this with COM
mercial fertilizer during the growing
season. At Beltsville they have dis
covered that with heavy feeding
scale bulbs will flower the following
season. This is contrary to the COM
monty accepted belief that feeding a
lily bulb tends to make it suscepti-
BILE to disease. 1t indicates that a
Well-fed plant is in better position
to resist infection. If you want fine
large flowers on tall. strong plants

And believe me there's plenty
like them too, enough to stop

ROCKET BOMB

Wide World Features
The rocket bomb, writes
James L. H. Peck in "Air Trails
Pictorial" Incorporates the ad-
vantages of high level flying
it'll the advantage of low flying
accuracy. 1t does so by means
of a steel cylinder in the rear of
bomb-a cylinder filled with
powder which ignites with pink
and blue flame and pushes the
bomb through space, giving it
added speed and penetrating
force. at 81. ~, 3.
The Russians introduced the
rocket bomb against the Nazis
last November, and in the De-
cember issue of the US. Naval
Institute Proceedings appeared
a report indicating a rocket
bomb could pierce armor twice
as thick as could ordinary
bombs.
Even a twenty-five pound
rocket bomb can bust tank,
says Peck, if it has enough pene-
trating power to crash through
the ramon and explode inside. 1t
can blow a tank crew to bits.
Axis scientists are working to
develop their own types of roc
ket bomb. But thus far, thanks to
the Soviets, Hitler's words about
"secret weapons" are literally
exploding in his face.

BAND FORMATION
NOW PROGRESSING

The Key West Municipal Band
recently organized through the
efforts of Gerald Saunders, chair
man of the Public Welfare Com
mittee of the Key West City Coun-
Gil, is meeting each week in the
Lions Den on Seminary street and
is rapidly approaching the stage
where they will become vital as
set to the cultural life of the COM
munity.
Realizing the advantage of hav-
ing a reputable organization be-
hind such a movement. Mr.. Saun-
ders was instrumental in having
the Key West Lions Club to spon-
sor the band and sometime in the
near future, this organization
plans to institute a series of
morale parades concerts, etc.,
such as are being put on in other
communities throughout the ma
ton.
Under the capable direction of
Bandmaster Alfredo Barroso, ST.,
the band has been rehearsing on
universal favorites such as, 'Sulli-
vans Operate Gems; "Revelry'
by Jewel, "Straussiana" by Sc
redy, Anchors Aweigh" and
other military marches.
1t is fitting to pay tribute to the
men who have voluntarily come
forward and have joined the band
with no thought of remuneration
other than a patriotic sense OF
duty, it is stated. The following
have thus far constituted the or
ganization: Alfredo Barroso, con-
ductor; Raymond Lopez, clarinet;
Julio Lopez, clarinet; Gus Ayala,
cornet; Stephen F. Whalton, cor
net; John Louis Day, cornet; Earl
Gwinn, trombone; Manuel Ca
nero, bass drum; j. j. Kirschen-
baum, trombone; Jimmie Regis
ter, cornet; John Ley, saxophone;
Alfred Lowe, clarinet; Hector Bar
roso, clarinet; Roland Weather
ford, clarinet: Alfred Mendoza,
bass horn; Felix o. Marrero,
clarinet; Paul Valdivia, clarinetist
from the 31st Division Field Ar
tillery Band of Shelby, Miss;
Frank Pollard, cornet.
Several other musicians have
signified their intention of joining
the organization in the near future
and this will augment the instru-
ments already assembled.

RUSSELL HEARD ON
BUILDING QUESTION
SAYS MISUNDERSTANDING
IN MATTER WAS NOT
ON HIS PART

Ralph Russell, Key West build
ing inspector, said today, in COM
menting on the story in yeSter-
DAYS Citizen about the issuing OF
LEGAL building permits, that there
might have been some 'misunder-
standing" about the order given
him olimit the permits to 5000,
but it most surely was not on his
part.
Mr.. Russell said that c. S. Ball,
compliance inspector of the War
Production Board of the Miami
area, called on him and distinctly
told him that no permit should be
issued for more than $780,
At the time, Mfr. Russell further
explained, the First Baptist
Church in Key West had decided
to make an improvement to its
building at a cost of $1,000, so he
asked Mr.. Ball if the order ap-
piled to churches also.
81 don't know about that; I'll
give you the information tomor-
row." Russell says that Ball told
him.
"And Mr.. Ball returned the
next day and told me that the
5000 limit applied to churches al
so" Mr.. Russell added. "You may
say positively" he concluded, ''if
there was any misunderstanding
it was not on my part"

Drafted mothers of our nation.
since this drafting business must
be of major concern to you, I
want to give you a letter from a
father who, himself, writes on
this issue.
Dear Madam" he writes, "to
begin with / have three boys in
the service. The youngest, who
is nineteen, enlisted not so long
ago. My second son is thirty
three and was drafted, even
though he has a wife and two
small children depending on
him. But that is not all. This
son was a machinist in shop
necessary to war production. The
Oldest boy, who now is forty-one,
has a wife too and a daughter,
and was also a machinist in the
same plant. The draft boards
here seem to think that every
man must be drafted. without
paying any attention to the fact
that many of the men they take
are needed at home for war jobs.
But I know, in a. city not far
from here this doesn't happen so
often. They are not drafting
men with wives and children yet.
But in that city they are also
showing poor Judgment in some
thing else. They let too many
men be deferred who get them
selves war jobs just to keep out.
''It's such things that make
hard feelings. Take my Oldest
son for example. He is now at
camp taking a course of study
under civilian teachers for air
plane ground work. One of the
teachers is about twenty-three
and single, and they say he took
the job hoping to be deferred.
How do you think that makes
my boy feel? Of course some of
the, teachers are over the draft
age and some have been in the
army themselves but were dis
charged because of some injur-
les. And that's the way it should
be. If boys like my two older
sons could stay in the important
jobs they had and weren't draft
ed, and men like that young
teacher could be taken instead,
we wouldn't need to draft men
for civilian jobs. There'd be
more than enough without it.
And another thing, the young
sters should by all means be
drafted. My nineteen-year- old
boy makes a much better soldier
than his two older brothers. He

A TOPPER ON YOUR

keep too much money from get

economists call the consumer. The
consumer, when you take his
mask off, is you or 1. The idea is
that if all of us consumers could
keep on demanding and getting
more pay because of the shortage
of manpower we would soon have
what is called excess spending
power"
That would be bad because,
while we might have excess
spending power, there is fast be-
coming less and less that we car
buy. Result, as the economists
see it: we would create greater de-
mands for the available goods
This might lead to black markets
and would generally stir up the
price initiation that always comes
when demand exceeds supplyl !
