The University of Maryland re-
Gently issued Extension Bulletin
1873. a most useful description of
the Dutch Elm disease. The symp-
tons of this highly destructive dis
ease which is killing elms in this
area should be known to every
gardener who has an elm tree.
When infected. the trees should be
removed and burned to retard the
spread of the disease. Copies of
the bulletin may be obtained from

Living Christmas trees are
again available from nurseries and
roadside markets. The balled tree
is less satisfactory than one which
has been planted in tub. Do
not expect a large tree because
their root systems would. be so re-
duced to fit the tub that they
would be worthless for planting ir
the yard. Select a well shaped
small one.
Most gardeners know that fall
is the ideal time in which to plant
rose bushes but the tardy digging
and shipping this year has kept
many from following their plans
for new rose beds. However, the
bushes can still be bought and if
the prepared bed is protected
from rain and snow, they can be
tucked into the bed at any time
the weather permits. Once planted,
the bushes go to work sending out
feeding roots and getting ready
for spring activity. Spring planted
bushes will start vegetative growth
at the expense of root develop
ment.
Roses offer one of the best solu-
tions to the problem of beautify-
ing new homes and property. BY
following the planting directions
of garden editors and nursery
ment. any amateur can grow roses
successfully.
Roses, the worlds most popular
flowers, are native only to the con-
tinents of Asia, Europe and North
America.

Rose Foncier Also Contributes
To the Art of Cookie-Bokinq

This is the season for all kinds
of Christmas cookies, and again
for about the 18th time, we are
indebted to Gene (E. S. Boerner
Gene is well known in the rose
world. but I venture to think that
few are aware of his abilities with
the kitchen range. AS director of
research for the Jackson & Per-
kins nurseries. Gene has created
just about every one of the fine
f1orabunda roses. These, of
course, include Fashion, one of
the finest of the lot.
Now, making Christmas cookies
should be a family affair, and like
old friends, an association with
old recipes is best. Through the
many seasons, something of ones
own personality becomes infused
in the ritual of cookie baking.
1t had become thus with our
Christmas cookies which we first
made from recipes taken from an
old magazine. We knew they had
been compiled by Gene Boerner,
but never realized that he and
the Gene Boerner who hybridizes
roses was one and the same. We
found out this season when our
recipes were lost and Gene very
kindly sent us a new set.
AS. with roses, Gene has the
right idea about cookie making.
You need plenty of cookie jars. he
said. And you should always
place one where it can be con-
reached by climbing
onto a chair. That little remark
needs no comment except possibly
to say that Gene certainly hasn't
outgrown completely his child
hood.
Like us on The 40 Acres, Gene
doesn't hold with modern cooking
methods when it comes to cookie
baking. The science of time and

The practice of giving puppies
as Christmas gifts has grown in
the last few years. Many breeder
plans his puppy crop to take ad-
vantage OF this Yuletide trade.
Perhaps this will give you an idea
for that last-minute gift that has
been worrying you.
If you get Christmas gift that
you don't want, you can stick it
away on a shelf somewhere; and
perhaps give it to some one else
next year Chats done you know
But you can't do that with a
puppy. You have to feed and care
for it-or at least you should.
It is nice to receive a Christmas
gift as a surprise but that rule
doesn't apply to a dog as a gift
Make certain ahead of time that
the person you are giving the dog
to wants one and can properly take
care of it.
AS a gift in your own family
perhaps to your children, that's a
different matter. You already
know the answers to whether or
not they want one and if it will be
properly cared for. If you haven't
a dog already I know of no finer
gift for a child than a puppy. Not
only will it afford the youngste1
many hours of pleasure but it will
be a great aid in developing his
or her character and last. but not
least. it might save your child
life some day.
If YOU have followed this col
umn in the past you will renem-
Der that have recommended the
feeding of fish to a dog once each
week. Now there is another item
that should be included in youl
dogs diet occasionally, namely
liver. Canned salmon and othel
canned cat food. made from fish
will answer your problem as te
where and what type OF fish yot
can secure for your dog.
Now back to liver: This typt
OF meat is exceptionally high II
vitamin B1 (aneurin) and vitamir
G (ribof1avin) and is considered
the richest of all meats in vitamir

dogs will not eat 1t raw. I advise
that you boil the liver and cut i
up before giving it to your pet.

lustron Still Has Time
To Submit New Plans
To Avert Bankruptcy
BY the Assoeafed Pres,

The next move seemed to be
up to the Lustron Corp. today in
its efforts to avert collapse of its
big prefabricated housing venture.
The Reconstruction Finance
Corp. confirmed yesterday that it
has fatty rejected the company's
latest plans for attaining solyency
and its request for more millions
Of Federal loans.
The Columbus. Ohio, company,
which produces steel-and-porce-
lain prefabricated houses, owes
the RFC $37,5OO,0o0. The RFC,
which says Lustron is "in default"
on $22,000,000 OF the loans. had
threatened foreclosure action If
the company failed to submit &C.
ceptable plans for getting on its
financial feet.
Yesterdays action turned down
a reorganization plan Lustron had
submitted in reply to that edict.
Action Delayed by RFC.
The RFC held up the threatened
foreclosure action. and some of
its officials said Informally that
the company still has time to come
In with an acceptable proposal.
That. they explained, is because
the Senate Banking Committee
wants to inquire into the facts be-
fore the RFC calls" the loans
which Lustron's president, Carl G.
Strandlund. says he cannot pay
just now.
A subcommittee assigned to get
the facts for the Banking Commit
tee does not plan to hold hear
ing on the case until late next
week. Thus, an official said, Lus-
tron "has about 10 days of grace
ahead of it, in which it could act
If it so desired"
IF Strandlund should walk in
with an acceptable reorganization
plan before that time" an official
said, obviously we would not
arbitrarily tell him he is just too
late"
Spokesman who refused to be
quoted by name said the RFC had
hoped Mr.. Strandlund's plan
would take far different form
than the one he submitted. They
said they felt he should have
reached out for some high-pow-
cred talent to bolster the COM
pany and some strong, private
financial backing.
Administration Wants Houses.
The RFC does not want to un-
dertake to run the company itself,
an official said. Foreclosure, it
was indicated, probably would
mean sale of the company's assets
"at big loss" unless Congress
should intervene with some diff
ferent instructions.
The Truman administration is
still interested in prefabricated
houses. President Truman in his
budget message Monday asked an
additional $25 100000 in RFC
lending authority for this pur-
pose. while nothing that "the ac-
complishments of this program to
date have been below our expecta-

COOP HOUSING BOOM EXPECTED
AS FHA RESTRICTS BUILDING

Washington (LPA) - Coopera-
tive home building should increase
sharply in the next year, if con-
truction of all types is not further
Restricted by the national emer-
gency.
Construction of management
type or multi-family cooperative
dwellings is not now restricted
whereas Regulation X and similar
FILA and VA legislation have
clamped down on construction of
sales-type houses, or individual
dwellings. Builders have in the past
been unwilling to undertake the
larger coop projects both because
of the difficulty of getting financ-
ing, and because they lacked exper-
ience in planning and operating
such projects. To get FILA insur-
ance, the builder has to erect the
project and then sell 80 percent of
the apartments to individuals with
acceptable credit ratings. While
easy government financing was
available to buyers of individual
homes, builders were not eager to
risk the large expenditures neces-
sary to build multi-family coopera-
tive apartments and find no takers
The Federal Housing Act of 1850
provided a broader authorization
of government insurance for coop
erative housing mortgages than did
the 1913 act. Also, Section 213 of
the recent bill set up a new divis-
ion of the Federal Housing Admin
istration to administer a coopera-
tive housing program. The COM
missioner is empowered under this
lsection to give technical assist
Vance and advice to individual
groups in the planning, develop
ment, construction and operation
of cooperative building projects.
FILA reports that applications
for assistance on management-type
dwellings are constantly increas-
ing, while almost none have been
received for the sales-type project.
To encourage the construction of
cooperative projects, FILA will
issue a schedule of down payments
giving a 5 percent preference to
We terans S participating in the
