Of the average.
Victory gardeners should concen-
trate now on maintaining q con-
tinuous program Of paintings to in
sure supplies Of vegetables being
available at all TIMES. Most gar
deners neglect this important aspect.
Most crops remain in good condition

Dahlias, gladiolus and other ten
der bulbs should go into the ground
as soon as possible. Seeds Of an
nuals need to be sown soon II they
are to provide . long season Of
bloom. Normally. gardeners start
seeds Of many Of thensindoors early
in the spring to provide early sum-
mer flowers. For those who failed
to start seed, 1t Is suggested that
plants be purchased from q COM
mercial grower 10 As to provide
early bloom.
The tent caterpillar, q leaf-eating
worm that lives In q web. Is unusually
widespread this season. They may
be destroyed where the tent" is in
small limb by cutting off the limb
and burning. Dusting or spraying
the surrounding foliage with any Of
the stomach poisons dead arsenate,
cryolite, rotenone, etc. will usually
destroy the colony. A rag tied to
the end Of a stick and soaked with
kerosene, If used with care, may be
effectively used to burn out q nest.
An unsprayed fruit tree may be a
source OF infection for all other
fruits in the neighborhood. If the
tree cannot be cared for it should
be removed. Some fruit-growing
States make such care mandatory.
Legal means should not be neces-
sary if we have the spirit of con-
sideration for our friends and
neighbors.
It Is time for the first planting

In blocks pollination Is much more

rows, planting 5 to 10 hills IL inches
apart In each row for the first
planting. Each subsequent planting.
at weekly or two-week intervals, will
carry on from the first planting un-

way each block" will be four rows

feet long. depending upon the num-

Many flower shows are being can
celed because the flowers were gone
before the date Of the scheduled
show. Nineteen forty-five has av-
eraged about three weeks earlier
than usual and the flower commit

the season. The recent cool weather
has tended to check this early sea-
son development but the soil Is still
dry and plants are making rapid
growth.

Easter Season Is Heralded BY Palm
Sunday To Be Observed Next Sunday

the applause of the populaee on the
following Friday.
From very early date the Sun
day before Easter was called Palm
Sunday because on this day the
church ordained that boughs of palm
trees should be carried in procession,
in imitation of those strewn before
Jesus when he rode into Jerusalem.
The palms were consecrated by the
priests. A portion of them was pre-
served to be burned for holy ashes
to lay on the heads of the people on
Ash Wednesday in the following
year. The rest were distributed first
among the assistant priests and next
the congregation.
Wherever palms are obtainable
they are used in the ceremony. In
England where they are not avail
able willow boughs are a favorite
substitute. In America formal GER
emonies are not as frequent as in
Europe but most churches, both Pro-
testant and Catholic, take note of
the day in observances of various
kinds.

Concentrating the triumphant
entry of Christ into Jerusalem,
Bluffton churches, along with the
other churches of the nation, will
observe Palm Sunday at services this
coming Sunday.
Palm Sunday is always celebrated
the week before Easter which comes
this year on Sunday, April /. The
Bible records that the Christ made
his triumphial entry into Jerusalem
mounted on an ass.
At that time there were great
multitudes of people who spread
their garments in the way; others
cut down branches from the trees
and strewed them in the way. And
the multitudes that went before and
that followed cried, saying Hosanna,
to the Son of David: Blessed is He
that cometh in the name of the
Lord; Hosanna in the highest"
Matt. 21:8-9.)
The enthusiasm of the people
speedily cooled and the Christ who
was honored on Sunday was put to
a cruel and lingering death amid

Kaiser Again Heads
old Clothes Drive

Acting at President Truman's re-
quest, Henry j. Kaiser, West Coast
industrialist, will head a second
drive to obtain clothing for the
needy peoples of Europe, the White
House announced today.
Such campaign is necessary, the
President said in a letter to Mr..
Kaiser, to alleviate incalculable
hardships which will be endured
next winter unless we act without
delay" The industrialist was chair
man of similar drive last spring.
Referring to this previous cam
paign, Mr.. Truman said In his letter
to the industrialist:
Splendid as were the results of
that effort. however. it is plainly
evident that additional quantities of
clothing must be secured to meet
the tremendous war relief needs
which the world now faces, not only
in Europe, but in liberated areas in
the Pacific.
"Other countries-Canada, Aus
tralia. New Zealand-will conduct
collections to help meet this urgent
situation, but the dire need justifies
another appeal to the people in the
United States"
