more or less grows into the brush
and is held in place. Stakes at each
end of the row with strong cords
stretched between them on each
side of theaplants is another method
Summer watering Is quite impor-
tant If there are prolonged periods
without rain. It is desirable to keep
the chrysanthemums growing Wig
orously. Lack of moisture stunts
them and also contributes to the
dropping of the lower foliage. Guilt
vation should be very shallow be-
cause the feeding roots are so close
to the surface. Mulching is pre-
ferred by many to cultivating.
Insect and disease control is not
difficult where the plants are well
spaced and are growing vigorously
Most Of the work will be to con-
troll the aphids which cluster on
the tips of the shoots. A spray OF
nicotine sulphate, or just soapy
water will usually control them. If
nematodes are feared, DDT spray
may be applied, especially to the
lower foliage, being careful to cover
both sides Of the leaves. If there
is adequate air circulation and care
is employed to keep leaves dry, little
trouble may be expected from mil
dew and leaf spot diseases.
Every gardener has his favorite
varieties Of chrysanthemums and
hence any list will be subject to
question. However, the beginning
will want few suggestions as to
dependable varieties. The following
are offered as a starter:
Azaleamums: Pink Cushion. Lavender
Lasste, September Bronze.
Pompons: Mrs: P. 6; Du Pont. Laven-
Splendor, Ping Radiance, Ida Brewster,

Button: Wee Dot. Irene, Yellow Irene.

New Rose Garden
Awaits Clearance
Of Navy Buildings

A new rose garden, a project that
has vitality concerned the Potomac
Rose Society and the American Rose
Society since the former rosarium
was destroyed by bridge approach
is assured as soon as the National
Capital Parks can take possession
of the site, officials said yesterday.
The new garden will be larger
than the one previously cultivated.
1t will be situated in triangle
afforded by the Potomac River, the
Tidal Basin and independence ave-
nue., and will be some q acres in
area. At present temporary Navy
buildings are accupying the location,
and park officials hope the site can
be cleared and Jurisdiction returned
to them by August 81.
Plans are on the drawing board
for q handicapped area. including q
fountain in honor of Senator James
Mcmillan Of Michigan, who, before
his death in 1902, was a leader in
civic betterment projects here and
served on the Senate Committee
on the District of Columbia. 1t will
be necessary to fill the area by hy-
draulic pumps to bring it to grade.
1t is hoped that the garden can
be in top condition for the 1850
celebration of the founding Of the
District Of Columbia. The fountain
is ready for construction, stored
here in crates.
All plans have been Endorsed by
the Park and Planning Commission
and the Fine Arts Commission. A
national advisory commission repre-
senting nurserymen, landscape art
lists and association leaders has as
sisted in the planning.
Senator Mcmillan was three times
elected to the Senate, starting his
career here in 1889. He was en-
thusiastic in plans for clearing rail-
road yards from the Mall area and
beautifying the city in general. He
was famous in many fields of en-
deavor, including finance, railroad
ing and agriculture.

As boy, he was an orphan; as a
man, an exile. Yet he is the most
famous of all the poets Italy has
produced.
Six hundred and eighty-three
years have rolled by since Alighieri
Dante was born in Florence. After
the death of his parents he came
under the care Of q learned man.
OF other events in Dante's child
hood we have little record, but we
do have the story Of how, as q boy,
he met a girl by the name Of Bea-
trice. It appears that he first saw
Beatrice when he was years old.
In later years their paths crossed
several times, and he may have ex-
changed words with her, but in gen.
eral his love was silent and distant.
His heart was heavy when, during
his young manhood, he learned
about the marriage Of Beatrice to
another. Not long after her mar
riage, when she was only "a,
Beatrice died.

several small city-states. In Flor
ence fierce quarrels were going on
between parties which were trying
to obtain control of the government.
Dante became one Of the leaders OF
the "Bianchi," or Whites" A
French prince brought soldiers to
Florence and helped the Blacks
defeat Dante's party.
Dante was then sent away from
his native city as an exile. He spent
time in Venice, Pisa and Verona,
and we have reports that, for a
little while, he lived in Paris and
in oxford, England. He died In
Ravenna, Italy.
It was during his exile that he
wrote the poems which have lived
through the centuries. Among these
was long story told in poetry which
he called The Comedy" In this
poem he told Of visiting hell and
purgatory, where he saw his enemies
suffering torments. A more pleasant
part Of the poem describes his fanci-
full visit to Paradise, with Beatrice
as his guide. The name Of the poem
later was changed ~ 'Ihs Divine

Farm production costs reached a
new high last winter and probably
will continue high during the year
according to the Bureau Of Agricul-
tural Economics.
Prices received by farmers, which
reached a record high in January
have since declined. Prices of few
farm commodities, are now about at
prewar levels.
The bureau predicted that most
farmers are likely to have profit
able year, but that some will be
pinched by high costs.
There was a bright spot in the
livestock and dairy farming picture,
however. The Production and Mar
keting Administration last week re-
ported that markets for commercial
by-product feeds eased of the first
week of April as more pastures be-
came available and demand less
ened.
PIMA said that while wheat mill
feed prices declined considerably
over the Nation. corn by-products
showed little change. Except for
soybean meals, oilseed prices were
Slightly lower.
Commenting on farm production
costs, the bureau said farmers total
out-of-pocket operating expenses
have risen from 8 to rs per cent each
year since the base period of 1885,
1899. They are expected to increase
further this year.
On the other hand, the bureau
said, the index of farm product
prices in 1947 averaged 159 per cent
above the 1935-1939 average. This

sharp knife. Pinching forces the
plants into a bushy type of growth.
When the new growths are to 6
inches long they should be pinched
again in the same way as before.
These two pinchings will encourage
strong bushy type Of growth, the
kind that produces large broad
plants with numerous flower buds
which are excellent for mass effects
in the border.
For extra strong growth and large
flowers, it is customary to apply
commercial fertilizer after each
pinching.
Chrysanthemums, with the ex-
ception OF the azaleamums, need to
be staked or supported in some way.
Some gardeners take a piece Of
brush and force it firmly into the
ground alongside Of the growing
