American educational publ

books for children. Plans are
now being made by the Office
of War Information to exhibit
displays of this printed propa-

braries throughout the country,
and when these showings are
made they will provide an eye
opener on the American war eff
fort, waged as a campaign to

One of the most successful
pieces of American counter

COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS


Out of the general wonderrent as to what will be
postwar framework of international government one
probability is emerging in addition to the certainty
thot some type of Aneo-Soxon coalition will become
the permanent protector Of democracy
1t seems almost inevitable that the old system Of
colonial empires dominated by European mother
countries will give way to CononoonweoIths Of Nations
modelled more less the British.
Queen WiIhen'ino Of the Netherlands already
has promised postwar reorganization Of her king
dom into such q commonwealth in which the home
land Indonesio Netherlands Eost lndies), Curacao
and Surnona will participate as members.
There is no doubt that the British Empire" will
be loosened yet more with India eventually joining
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain
as full partner.
Probably the commonwealth term will not be
adopted, but the United Stotes the Philippines and
perhaps Puerto Rico will become in foot common
wealth Of nations.
This leaves what used to be the French Empire In
view Of what happened when Hitler conquered France
it does not foretehed to imagine that the one
time colonies will prove reluctant about returning to
their old stOtus.
In pure theory, the simplest thing would be for
the ma or notions to turn their colonies completely
loose and let them have both the privileges and re-
sponsibtes Of freedom.
However, the people Of the Philippines, the Dutch
East Indies, French Indo-Chino now know at first
hand how small is their chance at survival without
might behind Them The starving people Of Puerto
Rico can guess how much worse off they would be if
Americas economic support we're withdrawn.
The British long have known and the Dutch have
discovered that it is possible to extend complete local
autonomy to the provinces, permit them to share in
the determination of commonwealth problems, with
out leaving them to the mercy of the economic and
mi|itory wolves
And certainly the homeland, expected to spring to
the defense Of its commonwealth brethren in time Of
need, is entitled to have voice in emergency mot.
ters The commonwealth type of organization seems
to have demonstrated its strength and its fIexbiIity

THEY'LL KNOW

Along this same line there is
one exceedingly popular open
end picture pamphlet on the
American warplanes. It's beau
tifully printed job in full color,
and it has been published in six
languages. The idea, obviously,
is that it doesn't do it any harm
to have the populations of the
Nazi occupied countries know
what the American planes and
pilots look like, and to build up
the thought that they're friends,
not enemies.
Most welcome item in the
American propaganda of truth
budget has been a medical SCI
ence newsletter. Censorship hav-

culation of many scientific pub
locations, a digest of new devel-

cine has been made in the form
of a newsletter which is circu-
lated abroad in several langu-
ages.
The Overseas Branch of the
Office of War Information under
Robert Sherwood has, in fact,
developed a news feature serv-
ice to supply foreign publica-
tons with material on America

They do not need pinching back
as do early planted dahlias. If you
plant them little late, let them
make their growth and merely dis
bud them. Pinching delays the
blooming, which is the effect you
desire in the early planted ones.
Don't neglect to give your chrys-
anthemum a good pinching back il
you have not already done so, and
repeat the procedure again in the
middle of July. This makes the
plants bushy and keeps them from
becoming too tall. After July let
them develop uninterrupted and
form bloom buds. Right now is the
time to finish planting, however
ChrySanthemums can be set out
until July l and they will make
plants big enough to produce a good
crop Of flowers in the fall. They
will not be SO snowy as the early
planted one, though, for these early
ones have better root systems.
1t is about time to dig spring flow
ering bulbs, for the foliage will have
begun to ripen. Tulips generally
do better if they are dug annually
and stored over summer, for If the
summer is wet one, many bulbs
decay as the result of fungi preyine
on them. If you wish to leave your
tulip bulbs in the soil, you can obvi-
ate this danger to great extent by
deep planting and by planting only
in very well-drained soil.
Narcissus need not be dug unless
they are to be divided. 1t is better
to plant them Immediately. They
may be saved until fall, however, in
which case it is best to plant early
(mid-September) in order to allow
plenty of time for the formation OF
roots. Hyacinths and crocuses dc
well either dug or left in the ground
but very often it pays to dig them
and give them a fresh planting with
renewal of soil fertility. The rea-
son a lot of bulbs keep forming
shorter leaves and stems each yeal
is that they are not fed enough. II
is too late to feed them now, but
digging and replanting and giving
them good application of fertili-
ger in the early fall benefits the
plants. II you prefer to leave them
in position. fertilize them in the
late fall or very early spring. This
will often revive an old clump that
is not doing well.

Odd Chores That Should Be
Done These Next Weeks
By A. G.. Mclean.

July 10 is the last date you can
plant the ordinary varieties of
gladiolus and have them bloom be-
fore frost. These late-planted corms
do not mature new corms, so they
are not good for planting next year.
However. since gladiolus bulbs are
inexpensive, most gardeners will
have no compunction about plant
ing some of the larger ones for late
bloom. Weather conditions being
favorable, they produce, very good
blooms in late September and early
October. Be sure to treat the bulbs
for thrips, either with corrosive
sublimate or with one of the several
other preparations available for the
purpose. Thrips are more trouble
some late in the season, so it is a
good idea to have clean plants to
start with.
Dahlias can also be planted up
until July 10, and bloom can be ex-
pected before frost for they grow
very rapidly from these late plant
ings. Very often they produce
finer flowers than the early dahlias,
although fewer of them

Many Victory gardens have their
beets, beans and corn growing toe
thickly. These plants need ample
food and moisture if they are going
to produce desirable crops. When
too crowded they do not produce
bountiful, nutritious crops. Better
thin rather than use extra applica-
tions of fertilizer. Space beets
inches apart, beans 4 inches and
corn II inches apart in the row.

Reports indicate that in some

Leaves From the Garden Notebook
Replace Harvested Crops; Tie Tomato Plants Firmly

In tying tomatoes to stakes it is
best to make each tie just below q
fruit cluster. Heavy fruit clusters
need support. The vine should not
be tied too tightly as room Is needed
to allow for growth. Experienced
gardeners usually tie the string to
the pole and then make a second
knot in the loop around the vine
Use soft twine or strings of cloth
hard strings may cut the vine.

There is no point in letting
radishes, turnips and other COOL
aUeather crops occupy space in
the Victory garden at this time.
They iOill keep on grolDtng, it is
true, but the products are not
fit to eat. Better pull them out
and use the space for paintings
OF beets, carrots, beans, etc.
\
1t will soon be time to plant broc-
coli, caulifower, late cabbage and
collards. And, since there is not
sufficient time in which to grow the
plants for setting out, it is desirable
to locate a grower selling them and
put in an order for delivery in July
Mid-July TO August l is the usual
recommended period for setting
them out. Celery plants should be
set out now.
The cabbage norm is making
its appearance in most gardens
at this time. Any OF the Stom-
ach poiSonS are effective enough
to control this pest. HoaDeper,
