FUCHSIA
This old plant of the Victorian
era has come back into favor
along with the furniture ana hang
ings of that period. 1t is essential
ly a summer blcomer and must be
kept quite warm in order to have
it bloom in the ordinary dwelling
in winter. 1t is most delightful in
its brilliant end amazing coloring
which is often repeated in the
leaves of the new hybrids. Be-
cause of the shape and form of
the flowers it is sometimes called
Lady's Eardrops.
The plants are quite tender and
must not be put outside until frost
is over IN spring and must be
brought in before frost touches
them in fall. 1t is best brought
through winters in a dormant
condition with just enough water
to keep the woody stems from
shriveling. A cool, fairly dark base
ment is the best place for it to
rest, a place where it will not
freeze. 1t IAN be repotted and
brought up to warmth early in
spring and will then set buds early,
but if you DO not have a warm
room, let 1t remain dormant in the
basement a month or so longer I'M
til weather begins to warm up.
AS 500 as growth begins give
more water and when growth is
we'll started plune it back enough
to make a shapely strong plant
with many branches. The new
wood produces the bloom buds and
this pruning back causes more
growth Of new wood. If a support
is needed 1t should be arranged
soon after pruning.
Fuschias like a rough soil mix
ture-1 part t;brous garden soil, 2
parts coarse sand and l part old
rotted manure with plenty Of
humus in it. Larger and larger
pots will be needed and there must
be good drainage at the bottom.
They like a constant degree Of
moisture but rome standing around
the roots; and they must have
plenty of root room.
Weak liquid manure given every
two weeks to plants growing well
and setting bloom bulls gives good
results. or use one of the prepared
plant foods according to directions
on the package. Every third time
substitute SCOT water which deep
ems the color of blooms and foil
age. A handful Of SCOT from the
chimney mixed into 2 IL gallons
of water makes 1t rich enough.
This is an old Scotch method and
is fine.
The great thing IN growing
fuchsias is 10 get just the right
amount Of sun. They must have it
before ten in the morning and aft
err th%ree-thirty in the afternoon in
our climate, but In between ten

Terminal Pay

Although the bill authorizing the ex-
penditure had not been signed by Presi-
dent Truman when this was written, the
expectation is that the CPS will receive
their terminal pay in cash and five
year bonds, amounting in all to $2,431,-
70o,OOO. The money according to pledge
is due them. President Truman did the
right thing in signing the deficiency
appropriation, approved just before Con-
gress adjourned.
1t is to be hoped that the beneficiaries
employ the capital thus to be acquired
advisedly, and put it to work in some
manner to yield a profit, unless it is
actually needed for living expenses.
1t is the more important that they
do this, because the taxes from which
the appropriation will have to be paid
must fall upon them no less than all
other taxpayers.
One is reminded of the song in the
once-popular operetta Wang which went
something like this: "Ah, too late we
learn with sorrow, every rose must have
it's thorn" It is a pretty song that had
such a hold on the public fancy that
even the street pianos took it up. It
had a vogue that not even Valencia sur
passed.
The thorn in the terminal pay rose
is the taxes that must be levied fo1
meeting the cost, with the veterans hay.
