Mitchell Hears
OF Mother After
Years Silence

After more than a year without
news from behind the barriers of
an occupied country, George Nit
chell of Glasgow this week received
word that his 85-year-old mother
is alive and we'll in Athens, Greece.
The news came on an Interna-
tional Red Gross form and was
written in Athens last March. 1t
was channeled through Geneva, ex-
change point for messages. Brief,
limited to Is words, it conveyed
the news that his mother, Eletheria,
and his sister, A~nastasia, are all
we'll and that his sisters daugh-
ter has been married. He last saw
his sister and mother in 1905.
Mr. Mitchell prophetically added
a postscript. In Greek, he said, his
mothers name means Victory"

sion that Easter lilies are of Japa-
nese origin, and hence it is unpatri-
otic to buy them.
As a result of that SANDER, mis-
guided women, at the mere sight of
Easter lilies, sometimes stamp out
of flower shops Indignantly switch
ing their silver-fox tails, ill-advised
patriots have even broken store win
dows or stoned greenhouses where
the plants are grown.
The truth is lilies are no more
Japanese than Madame Chang kai-
shek. Like that gracious lady, they
came from China. Furthermore.
every plant in America today stems
from bulb grown on this side of the
Pacific.
For a good many years, the Japs
supplied most of the bulbs used here
and in Britain for forcing" in
greenhouses; they controlled the
market and American farmers tried
unsuccessfully to break that mo-
nopoly. The war gave us the open
ing needed, and we now have started
a new American industry.
ReseAxch
How did we manage to learn the
tricks of complicated business in
so short time? Our Department of
Agriculture has been working with
lilies for long while. At the Belts
vile Station in Maryland. plant
pathologists experimental patiently
with cultural methods, propagation
and the obscure diseases to which
lilies are subject. Scientists from
state colleges did the same, and
growers all over the country profited
by their experience.
The lily is an aristocrat. She's
delicate, high-strung, eccentric; nev-
ertheless, our experts have improved
old varieties and developed excellent
new hybrids. Up until recently,
however, paintings remained small.
because Oriental competition kept
prices so low. All it takes to satisfy
a Jap grower is some rice, raw fish
and a pair of spectacles. Then, too,
Nipponese steamship lines finagled
freight rates out of our trans-conti-
mental railroads which were lower
than the rate fixed for our Pacific
Coast growers. Although our farm
ers produced cleaner bulbs of better
variety than the Japs, American

greenhouse growers were content to
let things ride as long as Japan had
the quantity and kept prices low.
However. when the Japs let go at
Pearl Harbor, the conclusion shook
those greenhouse men out OF their
lily-beds. There weren't enough do
mestic bulbs to 60 around; prices
rose, and farmers began chalking
figures on their barn doors.
Here's how it worked out: Gus
tomary planting is 25,0OO bulbs to
the acre. Out of that, 10000 flowers
should be harvested. At SO cents
each, that would mean $4,000.
NoR was that all. There was a
frantic demand for planting stock
and the price of bulblets scared.
Large bulbs produced an average
of about five small-stem bulblets
apiece, and at 10 cents each that
totaled another $4,000.
Though it is doubtful if any
Easter-lily planting last season ac-
tually paid off at that rate, most of
them we're gold mines.
There is little likelihood that
Japan, ever will regain any great
part of this business. We've learned
more about lily culture than her
farmers ever knew, and our i'm
proved varieties are better than
anything they ever saw.
Production is bound to in
crease rapidly, for these queenly
flowers propagate rapidly, pro-
vided you know how to make
them comfortable. That takes
understanding and experience;
and an amateur grower can lose
his shirt.
Nobody yet knows where lilies
will do best, for they can be made to
thrive on the Pacific Coast, in Texas.
Louisiana, Florida, and wherever
the soil is suitable and the climate
is not too severe.
As the supply increases, prices
will fall, but Easter lilies will never
be cheap. There's too much time,
trouble, expense and uncertainty
involved in growing them.
If this new American industry is
allowed to grow, it will afford jobs
to many people who will need jobs
when the war ends. n-x n...,,
