For Radio Listeners
Bv Brpson Rash

The owner of one of the most
familiar voices on the air recently
celebrated his 18th anniversary as
a newscaster. Lowell Thomas has
become practically an institution in
many American homes throughout
the Nation. His clear, expressive
voice and flowing style have sur
vived the years of war and of peace.
Mr.. Thomas is a meticulous, pre-
else man in his early Sos. Born in
Ohio, he was reared in a Colorado
gold camp and started his news
paper career with the Denver Times,
later becoming a professor of ora
tory at Kent College of Law, Chi
cago and English at Princeton. Be-
fore 1890 he had acquired a large
following as a biographer, historian,
lecturer and explorer, most ac-
ceptable background for one who
presents the news of the day.
Mr.. Thomas has made many out
standing broadcasts, but the one
we remember most vividly origi-
mated here in Washington several
years ago. The news was not
extraordinary, the presentation was
not spectacular, but the fact was
that Thomas was rushing to the
bedside of his aviation-cadet son
who was stricken with a serious ILL
ness. The reporter was sick with
worry, the urgency of the moment
was immense, but not a flaw dis
turbed the smooth even flow of the
days news broadcast as usual at
6:45.

Strawberry Care
By The Master Gardener

The Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, University Of Minnesota, has
issued Bulletin 375, Winter Behav-
ior Of Strawberry Plants" in which
they cover thoroughly results Of ex-
periments to ascertain the most de-
sirable mulching practices to pre-
vent winter injury Of plants.
This Is q summary of their prin-
cfpal conclusions:
strawberry plants are hardened
by several light frosts in the fall.
Mulching should be delayed until
the plants are hardened but the
plants should be covered before the
temperature at the crowns falls be-
low 20 degrees. Considerable injury
may result If plants are mulched
either too early or too late. Fully
matured and hardened plants usually
can endure temperatures as low
as 81 degrees. This is close to the
danger point however. and there
is likely to be increased injury down
to the killing point which lies close
to 10 degrees. No evidence was OBJ
tanned to indicate that the plants
become harder during the winter.
When growth begins in spring, the
plants appear to be able to harden
quickly to escape injury from frosts,
but they are less hardy then than in
late fall and winter.
Varieties of the June-bearing
type are somewhat harder than
those Of the fall-bearing type.
"The common practice of covering
plants with 3 inches Of straw mulch
usually will provide ample protec-
ton against temperatures low
enough to cause injury. Snow over
the mulch provides additional pro-
lection"

planting. This Is especially impor-
tant for those crops which need to
be planted in March II they are
to make proper growth. Lettuce,
radisheS, beetS, peas, carrots, cab
bage, caulifiower, broccoli and pota-
toes should all be planted very early
in the spring. If the weather is at
all backward the gardener may have
trouble in preparing the soil in time
for planting. However, soil spaded
in the fall, which needs only to be
raked, is almost certain to be ready
at the proper time.
Fall spaded soil should be left
unraked or smoothed of unless
planting is to be done in the fall
or winter. If left unraked winter
frosts will pulverize the soil, leaving
it in much better. condition than
is possible to obtain in the spring
without considerable effort oii the
part Of the gardener. The finely
pulverized soil makes an excellent
seed bed for small seeds. Fall
spaded soil settles during the win
ter, making a more even surface
for spring planting than can other
wise be obtained. This Is especially
true for lawns, although, OF course,
grass seed should have been sown
earlier in the fall.
Weeds and grass spaded under
in the fall usually decay rapidly,
because the soil has ample moisture
to facilitate such roofing. Then,
too, the bacteria which accomplish
the decay may take the soils nitro
gen without robbing growing plants.
BY spring the nitrogen will again
have become available for plant
growth.
Another reason for turning up
the ground at the very end Of the
season is that many insect grubs
and eggs are put up where the frost
or the birds can get them. Cut
worms may be at least partially
eliminated by such methods and
the cabbage maggot, too, to some
degree.
Many OF our Mower seeds should
be sown in the fall, early winter
or very early spring If they are
to make good growth before the
hot weather sets in, which often
comes too soon. Often this job is
neglected simply because the soil
Is not ready. BY making fall spad-
ing a regular part Of the garden
program the planting Of such seeds
as larkspur, bachelors buttons,
Shirley, Iceland and California
poppies, for instance, will be done
at the proper time.

Poison Ivy
Removal

Late fall when the ground is soft
after rain Is a good time to dig
poison Ivy out Of hedges and shrub
berry around the home and also In
school grounds and parks, say plant
scientists Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Poison ivy
that springs up among other yalu-
able plants can be removed success
fully only by hand-digging, because
chemical weed killers, though gen.
orally safer and better to use, are
likely to kill plants nearby as well
as the ivy. Grubbing out ivy by
hand is best done when the ground
is soft SO that the long strings Of
roots pull up easily and no tag ends
are broken off and left to sprout
next year.
Children are among the chief suf-
fers from ivy poisoning, SO the
scientists stress particularly the
need for removing all of this dan
gerous weed from places frequented
by children. The cost Of medical
aid for one season in treating pupils
using an ivy-infested school yard Is
likely to be far more than the cost
of eradicating the plants-to say
nothing of the suffering and incon-
venience the poisoning causes.
Any person who grubs ivy out by
hand, even If he considers himself
immune to poisoning. should wear
long heavy gloves or gauntlets, pref
erably OF leather, and long sleeves.
After the job is done, clothes should
be taken off Immediately and
washed with washing soda, and face,
hands and wrists washed thoroughly
with sap and warm water. The ivy
roots and stems which are pulled
out should be burned or otherwise
destroyed because dry ivy is almost
as poisonous as fresh. When burn
ing the plant, avoid the smoke,
which may cause serious poisoning.

ject is contained in new bulletin

Remember, do not mulch too early,
not too late. The best time to
mulch may be determined by
watching fall weather conditions
closely and noting particularly the
temperature at the ground level be-
meath the leaves. A series of light
frosts will harden the plants, and
mulching before severe freezing oc-
ours will avoid serious injury. But
il the weather is mild, do not mulch
