green, may be used. Against a
white wall almost any color is
effective. White flowers need a
green background of foliage.
Window box fanciers will go
further and plan flower combina-
tions for each window box. For
instance, pink impatiens, laven-
der ageratum and variegated
yinca will make pleasing COM
bination as will fuchsia, pink pc
tunia, blue lobelia. and Kenil-
worth ivy. For full shade one
may use begonias and ferns with
vinca minor for a trailer.
Being exposed to reflected heat,
window boxes tend to dry out rap
idly. Winds fan them dry. How
ever. overwatering. II the box
lacks drainage. can be injurious
to plant growth.
Control aphids with q Swinging

water. Diseases are seldom both
ersome unless the plants are
crowded or shrubbery near the
box prevents air circulation.
An occasional feeding of liquid
fertilizer is needed to keep the
plants In good growth and flower
a month is usually ade-
quate.
The window box need not be
idle during the winter.
In early october. remove the
summer bloomers for dwarf ever
greens (expensive) or the smaller
sizes of common evergreens. Small
plants of boxwood may be safely
employed on the eastern side Of
the house. On the south side use
Virginia cedars or Juniper meyeri.
The small arborvitae, yews and

Three years Of pasture fertilizer

Pasture plots that received 400
pounds per acre OF 20 per cen,
superphosphate each year yielded
i6.5 per cent more than those
that received no fertilizer.
Plots that received 600 pounds

than those that received no fer
tillzer.
Plots that received 700 pounds

phate and potash) yielded 36.6 per
cent more than those that re-

Mr.. De Hart said during the
three-year period 800 clippings

The results. he believes, give a

NO GoucINc, PLEASE

While landlords are fighting in WASH
ington against proposal to reenact a rent
control bill, Housing Expediter Tighe
Woods announced in Washington that a
decontrol order had been issued for Miami
Beach and five other communities. He add
ed, however, that tenants will be protected
under eviction orders of the federal rent
act, for the next 80 days,
While nobody can say for certainty
that congress will adopt another rent-eon-
troll law, the belief in Washington seems to
be generally that rentals now are readiust-
ing themselves in many parts of the coun-
try. That must be the attitude when the ex-
pediter states that rents have been decon-
trOled i'm Miami Beach, where charges, a
year or so ago, had been made of gouging
by landlords.
Gouging may be submitted to by ten
ants in an area where they reside and earn
a livelihood, but it has been demonstrated
that tourists will not submit, as rule, to
overpayment of rent. They will do, as they
did at Miami Miami Beach and elsewhere
leave those areas where gouging is going
on and spend their vacations in cities
where rents are considered to be fair and
reasonable.
Rents are not too high in Key West at
present, and it should be we'll for owners
of rentable properties to bear in mind that
tourists do not have to come here. If the
time ever comes when they consider they
have been overcharged, a big majority of
them will keep away from Key West And
it may be said, as has happened elsewhere
that it requires only few disgruntled
tourists to give black eye to any resort
Their complaints spread like the proverb-
ial wildfire in their home towns.
Every landlord should be given fair
return on his rentable property. If he feels
he is getting a fair return, he should not
resort to gouging because there is great
demand for the rentable houses or apart
ments he owns.

PRAISES POWER OF PRAYER

A woman, condemned to die for a
"sex-lure" murder, has been acquitted in
second trial, following reversal of the
former conviction, and now alleges that
the reason she has won comes from the
power of prayer"
The woman was accused of Turing an
other man, while her husband shot and
killed him. In the first trial, both were
convicted and the man now serves life
sentence. The woman boasts that she
prayed every night" and that she knows
that 1.-The Lord answers prayer"
There may be room to doubt the ac-
curacy of her conclusion, especially in her
case. If her acquittal is the result of an
swered prayer, it is hard to understand
how anybody is convicted Of crime in this
country.
