In estimating that the loan
would be gone in October, Dalton
was even less optimistic than Att
lee, who had said yesterday that
it would be spent by the end Of
this year, instead of lasting into
1s49 or 1850, as originally had
been hoped.
But Dalton said that if the
American loan, with all terms

cepted, eve should have run into
this same storm a year sooner"
"1n the past year, we have in

stronger in many respects he
said. 1--WE have very much better
possibilities now than when the

said, that more rose gardens are
injured from over-fertilizatiorl than
from any other cause. 1t may cause
loss of bloom and steady deteriora-
ton of the plants throughout the
season.
"A little fertilizer should be ap-
piled once or twice a year, or a
very small amount several times
a year. From three to four pounds
Of a 4-12-4, or 5-10-5 garden
fertilizer should be used. 1t should
be spread over a 100-square-foot
area so that all Of the earth re-
ceives the fertilizer"
DR.. Allen explained that one Of
the main secrets Of rose culture
is to keep plants we'll watered dur
ing the hot, dry season. Roses
need quantities of water, he said
and it should be allowed to soak
slowly into the ground to a depth
of at least 8 inches. 1t is better
to water with a hose at the base
of the plants, than with a sprinkling
system.
Methods of pruning have reached
both extremes, he said. Once it
was thought best to cut plants back
each year to within about 6 inches
from the ground. Then there were
those who believed roses should
be only lightly clipped.
The trend today, he continued, /;

for moderate pruning. Plants should
be renovated SO that new wood is
constantly replacing old and worn
out canes.
DR.. Allen described the an-pur-
pose sprays and dusts that are being
introduced on the market as 'very
promising" These sprays usually
contain sulphur, fermate, rotenone
and DDT, and act both as fungicides
and insecticides.
mo matter what spray or dust
material Is used" DR.. Allen said
"the important thing is how you
use it.
I'm controlling black spot, for ex-
ample, gardeners must time their
spraying operations. The black spot
spores will begin to develop II mois-
ture remains on the plant leaf for
six hours. And once the spores
penetrate the leaf it is too late.
The spraying, then, must be done
before the spores have a chance to
develop"
He said DDT gives excellent con-
,rol of rose bugs and promises good
results in the control Of Inc C.
the rose insects that no ether ma
terial will affect.
Eugene S. Boerner, flybridizer for
the Jackson & Perkins nurseries,
told Potomac rosarians that Euro
pean hybridizers are at work again
and that some of their new crea-
tions will be on the American mar
ket by fall.

Mr.. Senger said two of the new
supervisors are working with new
associations in Hartford and Cecil
Counties, and the others are with
associations in Frederick, Garrett,
Washington, Baltimore and Queen
Anne Counties.
Maryland now has Is associations
with a membership Of 500 dairymen

Easter Plants Grow Outside
Lily Bulbs and Other Potted Boomers
Do Well at Other Times Out of Doors
By w. H. Younomon


planted in full sun are the earliest
to flower, but quite often the season
IS too hot and their towering period
ends much more quickly than those
planted where they have partial
protection from the midday and
afternoon sun.
Potted bulbs, principally tulips,
hyacinths and daffodils are widely
grown for indoor Towering. Many
gardeners pot up bulbs in the fall
for this purpose. Whether home
grown or purchased the care is the
same. Water freely and keep them
in room where the temperature is
below 65 degrees, If possible, as
higher temperatures tend to check
growth and to shorten the towering
period. Aftetr Towering it is well
to put them in the coolest sunny
window available for week or so,
then move to a sunny porch or
outside room where growth can be
maintained until the soil is dry
enough in the flower border for
setting outside. The gradual change
from warm indoors to cool out-of-
doors Is necessary because the
growth IS soft and tender to cold.
Once hardened off, the potted
plants may be shifted to the flower
border even though frosts are still
to be expected. If the border is not
ready for the newcomers the pots
of bulbs may be plunged into the
soil in any convenient spot where
they should be kept growing until
the foliage begins to mature. Then
lift and store in any cool dry place
until planting time in the fall.
Hydrangeas Are Hardy.
Potted hydrangeas, another popu-
lar Easter plant, also are reasonably
hardy in this area, although they
are frequently referred to in liter
ature as greenhouse" hydrangeas.
While most Of those offered for sale
by the florists have showing pink
flowers. they become blue when
planted in the garden unless suf-
ficient lime is added to the soil to
counteract its acidity. The hydran-
geas are probably easier to keep
growing in the house than most of
the other Easter flowers because
they withstand higher temperatures.
However, they must have ample
moisture, much more than the
azaleas and the lilies.
Most flower lovers keep them
growing indoors until the weather
his definitely warmed up and danger
of frost is past. This, however, is
unnecessary for they are easily
hardened off" and may then be
planted in the sunny or shady flower
or shrub borders.
They normally do much better If
protected from the heat of the sun
midday and afternoon-doing fair
ly well on the north side of the
house. A western exposure is very
bad, for In such a situation without
perfection they normally suffer con-
siderable winter injury. As in the
house, hydrangeas require consider
able moisture in the yard and the
easiest way to insure ample sup
plies Is to plant them in soil

WHATEVER happens in the la
ter sessions, it is fact that the
main groupings represented here
came determined on a unified and
fruitful convention. In MurrayS
words, "AH controversies will be
solved peacefully and in a demo-
cratic way"
The compromise resolution on
foreign policy which will be
brought in has the endorsement
of the major forces represented
here.
1t indicates the ''road to peace"
and calls for universal disarma-
ment, postwar rehabilitation of
stricken peoples and Big Three
unity.
However, it is predicted that
there will be differences of opin-
ion expressed on the floor. And
the inclusion of Secretary of State
George Marshall as a guest speak
er may prove to be an entering
wedge for those who demand
blanket endorsement of the Tru-
man Doctrine and the Marshall
Plan.

In his 73-page report to the con-
vention, Murray placed vigorous
stress on the main points of the
CLIO programme wage struggle,
political action, the fight against
profiteering and high prices, the
enactment of social legislation.
THE ambitious program Of po-
litical action called for one mill
lion block workers to get out go
million voters for liberal and la
cor candidates in the 1948 presi-
Dental election.
Murray declared that the mil
lion block PAC organizers will
take responsibility for. the regis
tration of voters on their own
blocks. They will be organized
into precinct and ward commit
tess as their numbers grow.
But basic to all of our work is
the educational campaign among
our membership on the primary
political issues, particularly on
the Taft-Hartley BILL" he said.
THE MAJOR obstacle in the
way of economic collapse of Amer
ica's inflated economy has been
organized labor's bitter fight for
higher wages, Murray said.
"On the labor unity 'front.'" Muir
ray went on, little real progress
has been made. The CIO is acute
ly aware of the increased impor-
lance of labor unity since the pass
age of the Taft-Hartley law. We
have made repeated efforts to
achieve such unity without sue
cess. Apparently our former broth
erS in the family of labor would
only require that we meet their
conditions for return as the price

of forgiveness. This we do not
intend to do. We want unity, 9
riously and earnestly, but not
unity at any price.
THE conventions position on the
new National Labor Relations
Board and the "anti-Crumunisl"
affidavits was indicated in the
statement approved by the Go
executive toard meeting held On
the eve of the convention.
The board acknowledges the
autonomous right of its Al af-

this and the AZ convention.
Delegates were aware of the
fact that last years division and
disunity did not help in staving
off the attacks on laSor.
And certainly the passage of the
controversial "resenI and reject"
resolution against the Comlnu-
nists did not end the red-baiting
attacks on CLIO.

About $37,5OO OF School Bonds 10 BE
Redeemed This Year, Albury Reveals

Approximately $37,5OO OF spe-
cial tax school bonds issued IN
1887 against School District No.
/ will be redeemed this year,
r1quard Albury, superintendent
of PUBLIC instruction, said today.
In, 1887 the total bond issue
was $295, 900, issued in 10-year,
2o-year and 30-year maturities,
bearing 3 per cent interest the
first ten years, 4 per cent the
next ten years, and 5 per cent
the following ten years.
Last July the Board of Educa-
ton of Monroe County redeemed
$4,000 of the bonds before the
maturity date, The Board will
advertise this year for tenders
from the bondholderS to sell
$37.5 more of the bonds.
IF the bOndholderS do not
elect to sell the school board
the bonds at 500 maturity value
or less, then we will draw the
S37. 500 from a hat" Albury
said. I'm any event, we will call
the bonds. and thus save the
county considerable interest
