Mrs. Harris Borksdole Discusses Rose Culture
AT Lexington Garden Club Luncheon Tuesdoy

A detailed discussion on rose
culture by Mrs. Harris Banks
dale, of Jackson, well known u
thorlty on roses, featured the
first fall meeting of the Licking
ton Garden club held at the Alb
Taylor Memorial home Tuesday.
The meeting, which took the
form of a luncheon, was presided
over by Mrs. G.. H. Marlborough,
president of the Garden club, and
attended by a number of guests
as well as club members.
Mrs. Barksdale in an address
which proved both Informative
and interesting traced the plant
ing and year round care of roses
together with the diseases they
are apt to have and what to do
about them.
Rose culture is always chang
ing" the charming speaker said.
Whats good today is not neces-
sarily good tomorrow or ten years
from now" she said. New varie-
ties and methods of rose care are
constantly being developed and
perfected-making rose growing
a fascinating and interesting
thing.
Mrs. Bafksda1e described the
size plot she liked to plant roses
in and said she liked to plant
them in rows in an area of at least
five feet and that she always
planted in late January or
through February.
In selecting the plot for a rose
garden, the speaker said a place
well drained should be used. 1t
is not desirable to let roses stand
in water, not because of the water
itself, but because it forces the
oxygen out of the roots, she ex-
planned. Roses also need shade a
part of each day, the speaker said
she had found from experience
Further, during June and July,
she found it very helpful to use
tobacco cloth over the roses pro-
tecting them from the severe heat,
Various techniques in pruning
roses was discussed and demon
strated by the speaker who en-
phasized it was pruning and not
shearing. She brought along q
rose bush which she used to good
advantage in her presentation.
The speaker concluded by NAM
ing the outstanding varieties OF
roses on the market now and pas
sing around for detailed examina-
ton several beautiful specimens
of roses from her own garden In

Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-01-01

truman May OppC
Lower Supports
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The shape
of President Truman's forthcoming
farm program still is largely a mat
ter of speculation.
Word is that The president will
wait until farm sentiment crYs-
~tallizes before sending his price
support recommendations TO
congress.
A hint, however, that the Truman
administration may oppose a sharp
drop in future farm price supports
comes from Frank K. Woolley,
deputy administrator of USDA's
production and marketing admins
tration.
Woolley says low supports could
well lead to wasteful overproduc-
ton.
@The departments thinking" he
explains, "is that dropping price
supports sharply is not a desirable
way to adjust excess production. In
fact, the use of this device by itself
could operate to discourage the con-
servation side of the farm program"
In the way of other farm con
mendations, President Truman is
expected to ask congress for an ade-
quate rural housing provision in any
public housing bill the house and
senate consider, and legislation au-
thorizing the Commodity Credit
Corp. to build storage bins.
PREvIEW SUPPORT DEBATE
The American Farm Bureau
Federation's recent annual con-
vention in Atlantic City served
as a four-bel1 preview of what
TO expect when the matter of
farm price supports comes up
before the new congress.
Although the cast of characters
will be different, there will be the
same lineup and division on the
pros and cons of a flexible, versus
rigid support program.
AS at the FB meeting, southern
representatives will pair off with
some of the westerners to fight for
continuation of the wartime 90 per-
cent of parity supports for basic
crops.
On the other side of the squabble,
northeasterners will plump for the
Aiken-Hope law which would revert
price supports to a sliding scale,
ranging from so to 80 percent, de-
pending upon supplies.
Middle of the readers, trying to
find a common meeting ground
probably will come up with a com
promise, n that is likely to retaiI
the sliding scale idea but provide
for a higher floor than the go per
cent in the Republican farm law.
1t was only by ~sidetracking tn,
highly controversial price supppor
issue for the time being that thu
Farm Bureau managed to avoid
sharp rift at its convention.
On the final day of the meeting
delegates unanimously adopted
resolution passing the question o.

Hershey Says A-Bomb

By the Assoeiofed Press

FREDERICK, Md, Aug. A.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said
yesterday the atomic bomb is no

than the war elephants" Of Car
thage.
The Selective Service director
told Rotary Club gathering here
that 1--WE like to think that the
atomic bomb in the hands of a
few will keep us individually from
having to go to war"
II don't like to explode the
theory of the atomic age" he as
serted, "but do we have sense
enough to use this power wisely?
Can we acquire universal interna-
ttional understanding in q world
that is hungry and unsheltersd
while we are enjoying the easy
life? q" ."
Declaring the United States has
not carried on much preparation
for survival since 1945, Gen.
Hershey asked:
Can we always keep our en-
emies considerate enough to let US
get ready to f1ght?"
Referring to recent deem
phasis of plans for universal mill
tary training, he said, "the 1895
year-old group has always kept
the United States surviving. but in
another 20 years we won't have

Confidence in Lie AfeI
u, n. Protests Attack
By the Associotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. Sec
retary of State Acheson yesterday
expressed great confidence" in
United Nations Secretary General
Trygve Lie, who recently was at
tackled by a mystery witness before
q Senate Judiciary subcommittee
as Communist.
Mr.. Achesons views were ex-
pressed in a note to Acting Secre-
tary General Byron Price, who
protested July 81 against publica-
tion of what he called "irrespons-
ible and unfounded attacks" on
the secretary general.
The anonymous witness, identi-
fled only as witness g." charged
Mr.. Lie permitted Communist
agents to terrorize the secretariat.
Mr.. Lie is now on vacation In Nor
way.
Mr.. Acheson said "T am conf
dent that situation like that de-
scribed by the anonymous witness
wouldn't be tolerated."
Nothing Department Can Do.
At the same time, he pointed
out there was nothing the State
Department could do to stop a
congressional group from pub
fishing reports such as that issued
by the Subcommittee on Immigra-
ton and Naturalization, headed
by Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada.
Mr.. Acheson told Mr.. Price,
former director Of censorship in
the United States, that the United
Nations "is aware, I am sure, of
the traditions and practices of the
United States in the matter Of
freedom Of expression"
"You are also aware Of the
principles Of the separation of
powers under which the United
States operates and of the man
ner in which the legislative
branch conducts its affairs" he
said.
Mr.. Price had reminded the
state department IN his protest
that the internal affairs of the
u. N. secretariat were not the
business of ne Senate Subcom-
mittee, but were the responsibility
Of the U. N. General Assembly
and its SO members.
