Ten-Inch Cypress

HIS pride, hemlock l8 inches
tall, was an old tree when George
Washington was born. But it's a
giant compared to his 1O-inch
cypress 100 years old, or the four
year-old sword fern, barely an inch
high. Another top favoritc is a
bleeding heart three-quarters of an
inch tall with perfect blossoms.
Scouting for specimens, Nelson
swings 1900 miles through high
mountains from Canada to Central
America each year. considers HIM
self lucky if he finds dozen. Last
year he found eight. Usually they
are rooted i'm rock crevices
above 5000 feet, dwarfed be-
cause they are starved.
Moving them to sea level takes
years. Taproots are cut the first
year, secondary roots the second
year. More than half are dead
when Nelson goes back the third
year, but he moves the survivors
down 1000 feet a year thereafter,
losing another half in the process.
No More Sales
WEIRDEsT shapes are most valu-
able. Ordinary dwarfs are worth
500 to $500. although Nelson
once sold prize for 81 500. Most
distressing experience was his first
and only advertised sale. He in
tended to sell three dozen, but
buyers mobbed his nursery before
breakfast and, in one frantic hour,
carried away 80 for $1,000, He's
still fuming about it.
Wondering whether dwarfs
would reproduce in kind, he tried
planting midget cones from his
specimen conifers one year. But
they grew a foot the first year, two
feet the second. Nelson sighed and
chopped them down. you should
have seen them grow!" he says
sadly. UOk tDUI

MINIATURE
FOREST

Lee Nelson is no giant,
but he can carry 1000
trees in a wheelbarrow
ZEE NELSON is a slim, gentle
LS San Diego, Calf, man who
wouldn't weigh $50 pounds sopping
wet. Yet he thinks nothing of
lifting a 2OO-year-old tree with one
hand or carting a whole forest in a
wheelbarrow. That's because every
tree in his extraordinary forest is a
prize dwarf or "bonsai." Nelson
values them up to $1,000 apiece
but often refuses to sell. I'D rather
just look at them," he explains.
Orientals had a monopoly on
dwarf trees until Nelson learned the
tricks years ago. Now connoisseurs
come from everywhere to study
his methods, admire his 5000
horticultural midgets - trees,
shrubs, flowers, ferns.

High School Band Is Tops

The people of Wilmington, who have
long been proud Of the High school
band, have additional reason now to
take especial pride in the organization
Competing before thirty thousand
spectators at the North Carolina To-
baccc exposition in Wilson with high
school bands from Raleigh, Wilson, Kin
ston and Washington, the Wilmington
players took first place and brought
home a coveted trophy to add to their
growing list.
The grading was on neatness, musi-
cal and marching ability. Lieutenant
Lacock, the conductor, and his assist
ant, Mr.. Richard Dobson, deserve great
credit for this victory, but so do the
boys and girls in the band.
1t is not yet determined whether
the group will attend the Harvest festi-
va. in Selma on September 3, but it is
to be hoped that it does, and places
first there too. At any rate every prep
a%ration must be made to send the band
to the State Music festival in Green's

Mr.. Berle's declaration is not sur

BY G w. BABSON

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. 1 wanted
to visit some typical New Eng
land city to learn how its people
are feeling. AS Bridgepirt perhaps
suffered most through the depres-
sion OF the thirties and them &C.
cording to Newton's Law Of action
and Reaction = prospered most
later during World War II, l am
writing from here. .
Bridgeport is a city of about
$50, 900 people. These people have
had a reputation as being radical
and for many years have elected
a socialist mayor. He, however,
tried hard to be fair and has had
the vote of many conservative peo-
Pile. At one time Bridgeport was
the only city in New England with
a socialistic government.
During the recent war these peo-
Pile prospered greatly. Not only is
this a large center for small ma
chinery and tools o. all kinds, but
it makes guns and ammunition
ever is peace times. Hence, it was
and is a war city. The conversion
TO peace time products was diff
ficult and much unemployment
was f%orecasted for 1916 and 1947,
but this has not come about.
Bridgeport continues to be pros
porous. Certainly if this applies
to Bridgeport it should apply to
most manufacturing centers in
New England and elsewhere.
The truth is that the entire Unit
ed States - as President Truman
has recently pointed out : is at an
all-time high. We have more en-
ployment and greater sales today
than ever before in our history.
The only disappointed people seem
to be those o. some summer re
sorts who had planned or a re-
cord year which has not occurred.
Too, many people seem to be eco
nomizing during vacations. They
take only a twenty dollar bill and
one suit of clothes and change

ever is not a bad sign. These
people are saving money for
something which will last longer
and perhaps give them a little
vacation each day of the year.
When the stock market was at
INV ebb - some months agi -
many readers criticised me for
being optimistic during the early
months o. 1947. They felt that my
forecasts for a good 1947' would
be wrong. Each month, however,
has confirmed my optimism. In,

Politics And Sugar
BY T EDISON

WASHINGTON - Biggest politi-
cal enigma of the last session OF
Congress was the Sugar Act of
1898. A Democratic White House
administration. supposed to be OPP
posed to c%artels, allowed the US.
mainland and off-shore sugar pro-
ducers to dictate a bill which sets
up a virtual sugar trust. A Re-
publican Congress supposed to be
dedicated to free enterprise pass
ed a bill which is full of controls.
1t was smart politics, all right,
to get the bill passed this year.
That avoids seven months OF
w%rangling in 1949.
When the industry-Written bill
hit the House floor a little over
a month ago, however, it imme-
diately drew fire. Rep. John W.
Flanagan of Virginia. former
chairman of the House Committee
on Agriculture, in which the New
Deals original sugar quota con-
troll legislation had been written,
called the new act, 1.-The most vi
cious piece of price-fixing ever
proposed in Congress. l am in the
role of the lone wolf" said Elan
nagan. Il am the only who
will oppose this bill"
Flanagan wanted to know what
the State Departments 202-e
amendment to collect claims from
sugar-producing countries in de-
fault to U . S. citizens really
meant. Who would produce the
sugar that would be cut from the
quotas of these defaulting coun-
tries? Hastily the bill was amend
ed to give such quotas to U. S.
producers.
One of the changes which Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Clinton Andcr-
son had proposed was to strike
out several provisions carried
over from the old Sugar Act o.
1887. The required U. S. sugar
growers to pay their labor a fair
wage and to observe child labor
standards.
On Flannagan's in~sistance, plus
pressure from CLIO sugar workers
union and the Florida and Louisi-
n cane growers, these pro-
visions went back in. That was
the only fight, however, made
against the bill in the House.
In the Senate. the bill had a
much narrower squeak. With only

The C0mmunis Strategy

The New York Liberal party, which
broke with the American Labor party
in the Empire state when the Labor
party submitted to communist DONNA
ton, has as its chairman Mr.. Adolf A.
Bere, Jr.
Mr.. Berle has reposed in a variety
of political beds in the past. He was
among the chosen few who foisted
Fiorel]o H. LaGuardia on New York
City as mayor. He supported Thomas E.
Dewey when he first ran for district
attorney. He was a member of the orr
ginal Roosevelt new deal, and was re-
Warded with an assistant secretary
ship in the State Department under
Secretary Hull. Now he heads a politi-
cal group which he declares is neither
Pink or black or any other pastel shade.
Whether his frequent change of al
legiance entities him to consideration
either as a leader or a prophet is a
moot question. But he gave voice to an
utterance in New York a few days ago
which at least deserves a hearing. The
communist strategy in the United
States. he declares, is to defeat Presi-
fe"t Truman next year and elect an
isolationist President and Crongress.
He added the communists will unite
