Today and in the future, the

A newspaper is not warship,
plane, a tank, or battalion
of infantry but it serves in its
field just as fittingly and i'm
portantly.
Modern war has spread from
the land and the sea to a third
dimension in the sky.
In THESE times of national
Il peril, the American people
look TO their government for
light and leadership. Recipro-
cally, representative govern
ment in its own self-interest is
impelled TO seek contact with
its citizens.
Neither can exist in peace or
in war without the other, and
there is no channel Of communi-
cation which is so mobile, so
potent and so mutually helpful
as the newspaper.
The destruction of the news
paper in Germany was one of
the steps taken to put Hitler's
gangsters into power Without a
strong, free press in the United
States, the American people will
be without one of their most
vigorous protagonists, one which
more than any other force, save
perhaps this Congress, has re-
manned true to the idea OF
liberty.
Weaken the press, and the
people will be without means
through which they can give
fullest support to their govern
ment in the grim fight ahead
The vital Importance and
essentially of our American
press increases as the shadows
of this global war lengthen. The
Importance and essentially of
our American press will grow as
the rays of peace begin to dawn.
1t will be doubly important
that all of our people be well
informed by a free and alert
press concerning the various
proposals of suggested pro-
grams for the future peace of
the world.
CONGRESS has no greater re-
~ tsponsibiliay than TO assure
the people that the press of this
country will be protected and
preserved in full vigor and TO
notify the heads of the bureaus
that we. the representatives of
the people, will not tolerate any
unnecessary or arbitrary re-
strictive or restraining order
that will cause the press of
America to become either in
effective or impotent.

Prepare Now for Next Spring

Now Is the time to put your i'm
agination to work, while the gard
en- year is rapidly drawing to a
close. This is the period when plan
ming. soil preparation and planting
need to be done if we are to have
the joyous colorful displays that we
all may expect from the garden next
spring. Fall planning and fall
planting are being urged for sew
eral reasons. In the first place, we
are being warned that nursery stock
is in smaller supply than usual;
consequently, order early that dis
appointment may be avoided. Sec
ondly, in the fall the stock is fresh
and has not had time to lose much
of its vitality through improper han
ding. 1t is much more apt to give
desired results than stock stored
over winter. Third, there is more
time in which to do planting now,
and so better job is likely to be
done than if left till next spring.
And. fourth, fall-planted perennials,
shrubs and trees start into growth
much earlier than do spring plant
ed ones. Root action takes place
while the soil is still too fresh to be
worked.
These points indicate the impor-
tance OF fall planning and planting
from the growing point of view.
However, the real objective should
be to insure a colorful spring gar
den. Plan now for the bulbs, flow
ers and roses that make spring the
time that we all long for, visions
that help us to overcome winter
dreariness. In Washington, spring
gardens are the easiest to grow.

Fall Weather Favorable
For Virginia Farmers
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va, Oct. l6.-The
Virginia Cooperative Crop Report
ing Service announced today that due
to favorable weather. the harvesting
Of fall crops and the seeding of fall
grains and cover crops has pro-
gressed fairly satisfactorily in spite
of the short supply of labor.
In its October crop report. the

which fell over the State during
the latter part of September. pre-
cipitation in the northern part of
Virginia was very light and was too
late. to benefit pastures, alfalfa and
lespedeza hay, soybeans, peanuts and
sweet potatoes.
Three-fourths of the apple crop
is reported to have been picked,
about two-thirds of the cotton crop
and nearly two-thirds Of the peanuts
dug.
Because prospects for beans are
so poor in number of counties,

harvested and is needed because of

cult because of our soil and cli-
mate. The beginner especially
should give attention to his spring
garden shrubs and plants that fow-
er in April, May or June.
While it is too late to plant most
OF the perennials, there is still ample
time to plant bulbs. roses and
shrubbery. It is time to SOW seeds
of number of the hardy ANIMALS
but a bit early to SOW the seeds of
some of the less hardy ones. A
surprisingly large number of seeds,
shrubs and bulbs can and should be
planted in the fall in this area.
However, a great many gardeners,
beginners snd experienced, think of
roses when talking about spring gar
dens. No doubt every one looks upon
the rose as the most desired garden
flower. 1t is to be expected that
plans for next springs garden will
include several rosebushes.
Roses are not especially easy to
grow in Washington-that is, not
every variety can be expected to
thrive and produce flowers such as
those pictured in the catalogues.
The Potomac Rose Society some
years ago published a list of the II
varieties most likely to thrive under
local conditions. That list was
based upon the experience of many
local rosarlans. The beginner would
do we'll to follow their recommended
tions.
There is something more than
choosing the right varieties that is
necessary to insure a successful rose
garden. Roses are for the most
part adapted to cool, moist growing
conditions. They make their best
growth in the early spring and late
fall. During the heat of the sum-
mer they are practically dormant
unless given unusually good care
and protected from the midday
sun. 1t should be noted, however.
that 1t is not wise to plant roses
too close to trees, especially where
the roots can rob them of food and
moisture or even where the over
hanging branches will intercept fall
ing raindrops.
Roses need protection from the
wind more than they do from the
sun. If exposed to the wind, they
are stunted and the flowers lack
stem and size. Almost without ex-
ception, the most successful rose
gardens are sheltered from the
wind by buildings, walls or hedges.
However, inclosure within a high
walled garden where air circulation
is reduced to almost zero is con-
ducive to the spread of disease, es-
pecially mildew. Hedges or barriers
OF shruboery are probably more sat-
isfactory, since they permit a Ger
tain amount of air circulation. This
protection during the winter is even
more essential than in the spring.
Some gardeners use pine boughs,
snow fences and similar materials
to protect their plants. Strong
winds drying out exposed canes
results in more injury to the plants
than low temperatures. Shading in
addition to protecting from wind
will tend to prevent unreasonable
cell and sap activity. This was we'll
demonstrated last winter when roses
were killed to the ground by the
combination of high and low tenn
peratures and by a long period of
high winds. These unfavorable
