Gardens Color
Depends Upon
Earlier Care
By Wilbur H. Younomon

After summers vacation at
beach or resort, many Washington
gardeners are interested in having
colorful September garden. Too
often the returning vacationist is
confronted with a drab or tired
looking garden which is not only
undesirable but necessary. There
are many ANIMALS, perennials and
bulbs which can be depended upon
In this area to give interest and
color to the September garden. A
little. planning in the spring and an
occasional bit of attention during
the summer will do much to insure
an attractive garden at this season.
Even those ANIMALS which tend to
bloom themselves out by early Sep
tember can be held back by clipping
the buds in early August, If we
have kept our roses covered with
DOT to combat the Japanese beetles
they should be ready to put on
good floral display late in September
or early October. Even the dwarf
alyssum can be kept trimmed SO that
IN September it will look attractive.
Dhalias, Marigolds, Zinnias.
Late paintings Of glads, while not
ordinarily used in the flower border,
can be used If necessary for mass
effect and brilliance. Plant them
by mid June for September bloom.
Dahlias (bedding. miniature and
medium may be depended upon for
a mass Of color in September and
October in this area. The dwarf
bedding dahlias are excellent for
cutting and for mass effect, and
they are available now in dependable
colors so that it is no longer neces-
sary to accumulate tubers Of the de-
sired colors. We can plant the seed
In the early spring for pleasing
color effect in late summer.
OF the many ANIMALS, the petunias
are most likely to bloom themselves
out by mid September unless they
have been clipped to prevent seed
formation. A clipping early in AL
gust and little fertilizer will do
much to insure a mass of bloom in
September. Some of the newer
doubles make a very fine showing.
Another annual that Is particu-
larly snowy in the early fall is the
marigold. The tall Africans are

Bee Discovery
Helps E: Establish
BlOOded Lines
By jones BirehfieId

dAI ~IIlduc De6S-bGrdlI1S suitable
Tor high honey production, for the
pollinization Of various fruits and
crops aid strains especially adapt
able to different climatic conditions,
may result from a discovery that
minated queen bees after being
subjected to the carbon dioxide an
esthetic will lay eggs that hatch into
drones.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported that the carbon dioxide
treatment makes possible for the
first time the absolute control of
breeding in bees. 1t makes possible
the speeding up Of production Of
hybrid strains which, the depart
n1ent said, may be as important for
beekeepers as the development Of
hybrid corn has beer, for the corn
growers.
u. I. Hambleton, in charge OF the
division Of bee culture OF the Bu-
reau Of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine, said that with carbon
doxide stimulating egg laying of
minated queens, coupled with the
artificial insemination technique al
ready developed, 1t is now prac-
ticable for the bee breeder to de-
eelop definite blood lines.
Under normal circumstances, :"
Mr.. Hambleton said, IAN minated
queen bee mates with a drone, or
male, from her own or nearby
colony. Now, he added, it is pos
sible to skip a generation in devel-
nping hybrid strains and to breed
back to the queen one of her own
drones."
Major credit for the developments
IN bee culture. the department said,
goes to two entomologists working
with State experiment. stations
Or. Otto Mackensen, stationed at
the Louisiana station, who discov-
cred the effects OF carbon dioxide
On queen bees, and DR.. w. c. Rob-
erts, stationed at the Wisconsin
station. who further refined appa-
ratus used In artificial bee breeding.
Research in Dairy Improvement.
Two research programs aimed at
getting higher milk production per
COW from small dairymen through
out the Nation, and in breeding
strains Of dairy cattle especially
suited TO climatic conditions in
Southern States, have been ap-
proved by E. A. Meyer, administrator
Of the Research and Marketing Act
of-1s46. Both of the projects will
besconducted by the Bureau of Dairy
Industry of the Agriculture Depart
ment In cooperation with the State
experiment stations.
The research into higher milk
production per COW, the department
said, will center around systems of
breeding that concentrate the ge-
netic factors for high milk produc-
ton; ways of getting quicker and
better proof of sires capable of
transmitting high production to
their daughters and methods for
more accurately predicting the value
Of young dairy bulls.
In the development of better dairy
strains for the South, plans are to
cross heat-resistant Red Sindhi bulls
with Jersey and other domestic dairy
breeds and to study the effect of
further crossbreeding, outbreeding
and inbreeding on the development
Of desirable qualities In the progeny.
In connection with the Southern
experiment. Mr.. Meyer pointed out
that in 1946 the average milk pro-
duction Of cows in the Southern
States was less than 5000 pounds
per cew, as compared to 4,s91 pounds
per COW for the whole country

A September feeding Of the
strawberry bed. two to four
pounds per 100 square feet of
bed, will help to overcome the
effects of summer neglect. If the
fertilizer is applied broadcast, it
is desirable to wash 1t into the
soil with the hose, or drag the
bed with a limb to knock the
fertilizer off Of the plant leaves.
Keep crabgrass and other
weeds from going to seed wher-
ever possible. A single ragweed
will supply enough seed to keep
the average gardener busy for
some months pulling seedlings.
1t Is a matter Of self-intreest to
remove weeds before their seeds
mature and fall to the ground.

A sack of nitrogen fertilizer
(sulphate of ammonia or nitrate
of soda) helps to speed the de-
composition of the compost pile.
Use handful with each bushel
of leaves. A few shoverfuls of
soil helps to keep the leaves from
blowing away as well as to keep
them from packing too closely.
Hydrated lime Is commonly
used on compost piles, partly as
a sanitation measure-to kill in
sects and diseases. Excessive use,
however, may result In too rapid
decomposition, thereby losing
some Of the physical values we
seek. Scatter lime Just thickly
enough to gray the surface.

Fail 10 Report at Daily
by the Associoted Press

by fhe ASSoSidIcQ FtesS
ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N. Y, Nov.
10.-The 80 mechanical employees
of the Nassau Daily RevieW-Star
failed to report for work today.
Executives of the afternoon news
paper, which has a circulation of
80 900, said they would publish a
1O-page edition with the first and
sports pages produced by process
of typing and photographing news
stories.
James E. Stiles, publisher of the
Review-Star, said that failure OF
the mechanical employees to report
for work represented violation
of contract" while the union-Local
915 of the AFL International Typo
graphical Union-is bargaining for
a new contract.
The newspaper said the local
charged a lockout on the part OF
the paper. No union spokesman
was Immediately available for COM
ment.
Last September the paper filed
complaint with the National Labor
Relations Board against the local
and the international, charging a
Taft-Hartley Act violation through
refusal to bargain collectively.
NLRB headquarters said it was the
first such complaint by newspaper.
The filing stemmed from. the mo
contract policy" adopted during a
recent ITU convention at which 1t
was decided the union would not
execute written contracts but would
post conditions under which its
members would work.
Later today, Charles T. Douds,

York, said the board would issue a
complaint against the international
union charging Taft-Hartley Act
violation. He said the complaint
would be issued as soon as it could

SchweI|enbach Says

Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
said today that the present high
level of employment in this country
is apt to continue through this year
with job prospects for minority
groups bright and continuing to
improve.
He spoke at the opening session
of the 18th annual conference of
the National Council of Negro
Women at the Labor Department
auditorium. The conference of
more than 600 delegates will con-
tinue through Friday.s
Mr.. Schwellenbach said justice
and equality for the individual,
the foundation of the American
ideal of Government, is under as
sault in many parts of the world.
On the other hand, slowly but surely,
the concept of individual freedom
for all citizens is approaching
reality in tlF United States, he
added.
Committee Report Cited.
He pointed to the recent report
of the Presidents Civil Rights Com
mittee as evidence of this spirit.
Here in the Labor Department
our principal function is to
promote the welfare of all wage
earters, regardless of race, color,
creed or national origin" Mr..
SchWellenbach said.
The Secretary said that since VI
day the public employment service
offices have placed 100000 per-
sons in jobs and today there are
40 labor markets experiencing &C

PALESTINE:
u. S.-British Rift

While diplomatic observers ex.
pected no major rift to develop be-
tween the U. S. and Britain over the
heated exchange on the Palestine
question, the outburst pointed up the
apparent cross-purposes at which the
two allies we're working in the stra-
tegic Middle Eastern region with its
oil-laden lands.
Foreign Minister Bevin's charge
that President Truman had disrupt
ed delicate British negotiations for
settling the Palestine issue by de-
handing admission OF 100000 Jews
into the Holy Land before the 1916
congressional elections to get votes
was Immediately denied by the
White House. In prompt reply. it
was said that Mr.. Truman's decla-
ration merely reaffirmed the U. S.
position on Palestine taken in the
summer of 1945.
Republican senators were quick to
rise to the Presidents defense.
Brewster (Rep., Me.) said that Bev-
in was trying to make Mr.. Truman
the "sacrificiaI' goat for Britain's
failure to work out an equitable
agreement between Jews and Arabs,
and Taft (Rep., o. pointed out that
Bevin had conveniently dropped his
proposal for partition Of the Holy
Land in the face of stiff Arab oppo-
sition.

Seeking to soften Republican op-

man issued an order sharply modi-
tying reciprocal trade agreements.
Acting after consultations with
Republican Senators Vandenberg

Truman directed that hereafter re-
ciprocal agreements contain escape
clauses permitting the President to
modify or eliminate low tariff con-
cessions that jeopardize an Ameri-
can industry.
Agreements also will embody a
"most favored nation" clause, CIV
ing the U. S. the same trade advan-
tages afforded other countries. At
present, some states have agree
ments with others which tend to
discriminate against American
trade.
Reiterating U. S. hopes for build
ing foundation for peace through
the free exchange Of goods and
elevation OF living standards, Mr..
Truman said that this country
looked forward to the forthcoming
world trade parley In Geneva, Swift
zerland. He stated that the U. S.
would negotiate for tariff reduc-
tons, removal Of trade barriers and
elimination Of discriminatory prac-
tees.

VOLCANIC:
Rampant in Sicily

Quietly slumbering since 1923,
when it wiped out the village of Mas
cati, Mount Etna on the east coast
Of Sicily kicked up again, with mott
en- lava gushing from new crater
on its side threatening to bury sew
eral more small settlements.
Nine hundred feet wide, stream
of bubbling, molten lava edged into
the plain of Damusi at a speed of
about 210 feet an hour, then broke
off into three forks, one pushing to-
ward the villages Of Passo Pisciaro
and Cisterna.
AS natives fled in panic, govern
ment authorities rushed motor We
hicles to the area to evacuate the
homeless. Directors of the Etna OBJ
servatory asked Rome to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of air bombardment
of the countryside to divert the flow
of lava from villages and rich agri-
cultural areas.
