From 3 Gardens

tables for a family of six and also

a financial backlog.
James, member Of the Damas-
Gus All Club, plans his garden SO
that crops will not be planted in
the same place each year. In buy
ing seeds, he tries to get varieties
which are disease-resistant and
well adapted to his area. Toma-
toes, cabbages. peppers and many
other plants he starts in small
boxes Ii the house. Later he trans
plants them to a cold frame to
allow them to toughen and be
ready to grow when they graduate
to the garden.
AS his All projects this year
James raised q sow and 8 pigs, 4C
laying hens and 3 dairy cattle. He
has exhibited his All products
and animals in district and State
shows. as well as local events.

award on his gardening work in
National Junior Vegetable Grow
ers' Association contest. He has

The Potomac Rose Society be-
lieves in simplified rose culture
the kind that makes you glad you
selected roses to help beautify
your home grounds. just keep in
mind that. like all living things,
roses are subject to the effects
of heat, cold, draught and hunger.
Treat them accordingly, and you
can expect success.
Buy only the best roses from
la reliable dealer. There are three
general types of roses for the
home garden. Hybrid teas are
like the cut roses you buy from
your florist. Fleribunda roses have
brilliantly colored flowers that
grow in clusters. And there are
climbing varieties.
Select a garden location with
adequate drainage and sun for six
hours a day. Prepare the soil to
a depth of IS to "a inches. A
liberal quantity of organic matter
such as leaf mold. compost or
|well-rotted manure, and a double
handful Of bonemeal and/or super
phosphate for each plant should
be thoroughly mixed into the soil
for the entire depth. Do not use
chemical fertilizers for newly
planted roses. Beds should be
prepared, if possible, several weeks
in advance of planting time, and
allowed to settle.
Never Expose Roots.
When your roses arrive from the
nursery, plant them Immediately,
or follow instructions in the pack
age if planting must be delayed.
Bush roses should be spaced 20
to "a inches apart because culti-
vation is easier. better light and

Planting and Care of Roses
MAY Be Made q Pleasure

|air conditions prevail, and disease
is easier to control. Climbing roses
should be planted six feet apart.
When ready to plant. dig the
hole deep and wide enough to ac-
commodate the roots when spread
out In a natural position. Never
expose the roots to the sun or
wind; keep them immersed in a
pail Of water or mud. Set each
plant so the bud union is at
ground level. The bud union is
the place above the roots where
the nurseryman inserted the bud
wood and grated it to the under
stock.
Work dry, crumbly soil around
the roots with the fingers. Fill the
hole two-thirds full, then tramp
with the feet to make the soil as
compact as possible. Check the
height of the bud union. Fill the
depression with water. When the
water has soaked away, put in the
remaining soil, but do not
tramp it.
Winter Protection.
Remove the wired name tag to
prevent choking the branch. Hang
the tag on q stake beside the
plant.
Protect the autumn-planted
bushes against winds and frost
during the winter months by
mounding soil 8 to 10 inches
around canes. If possible. bring
extra soil from another part of
the garden. Remove the soil in
spring when all danger of frost
is past. Do not prune or shorten
canes until spring.
pring-planted bushes also need
protection. For two weeks after
planting protect new bushes from
drying winds and sun by mound
ing soil 8 to 10 inches around
canes. Pull soil away carefully so
as not to injure buds or stems.
Potted plants are usually avail
able only in the spring. When
ready to plant. prepare the ground
as above. Cut and remove the
tar-paper covering, but do not dis
turb earth around the roots.
Plant so that the bud union,
which may be high on some potted
bushes, is at ground level. Fill
in soil and use plenty of water.
Feeding New Bushes.
Caring for roses after they are
planted is a relatively easy matter.
Keep the soil well cultivated to a
depth of only 2 inches. or mulched
with a protective material. The
second and following years rose
food may be used about once a
month until early August. Scratch
in one tablespoonful around each
plant.
Protect your roses against dis
ease. 1t is easier to keep plants
free Of disease than it is to get rid
of it. The same applies to pests.
Apply busting or spraying mate
rails weekly. beginning in early
spring.
Roses need moisture. Don't
sprinkle the foliage. but soak the
soil to q depth of 6 to inches
each week. Remove the, nozzle
from the hose and let theA water
run slowly onto the soil. Always
water after using fertilizer.
Don't cut long-stemmed roses
the first season: let the plants de-
velop. Prune your roses only in
the early spring. Follow good
gardening practices and your sue
cess with your roses will be in pro-
portion to the care you give them.

Byrd Demands Probe
OF Boyle Role in RFC
Loan 10 ST. Louis Firm
BY the Associated Press

Senator Byrd. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia has asked for a congressional
investigation, if necessary, into
charges that Democratic National
Chairman William Boyle profited
from an RFC loan.
There is no reason for the
President to delay his investiga-
ton of Mr.. Boyle" Senator Byrd
said yesterday in a statement. He
(the PresidenD should not with
hold information of this kind from
the American people"
IF he does delay further" Sen
ator Byrd added, "the appropriate
committee of Congress should i'm
mediately institute an investiga-
ton so that the real facts may
be known.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat. of
Arkansas has suggested that the
Senate Expenditures Committee
look into the case.
President Truman. in reply to
"a news conference question
yesterday, said he was still look
ing for the facts as he said he
always tried to do. Asked if he
favors a Senate investigation, the
President said that was up to the
Senate.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
has published stories saying that
the American Lithofold Corp. of
st. Louis received a previously
rejected $565.000 loan from the
RFC in 1949 after retaining Mr
Boyle as its lawyer.
The Post-Dispatch said Mf
Boyle received $4,000 from the
firm. Mr.. Boyle has said he had
nothing to do with the loan, al
though he once was lawyer for
the company.
Senator Byrd said that if Mr..
Boyle influenced a Government
loan he should Immediately re-
sign his party Craftsmanship or
the Democratic National Commit
tee should fire him.
The time has come" said Sem
ator Byrd, when this creeping
moral deterioration at Washington
must stop and those guilty of
such acts must be exposed and
punished"

Has 5 per cent Fund.
The State Brewers institute,
a non-prof1t organization, has a
special so-called scent fund. "
For every barrel of beer pro-
duced. the brewers paid cents
into a fund which SamiSh spent
as he saw fit.
Into the scent "Samish fund"
over a period of six years, $685.

had turned over with flouriShes.

some interesting facts on Mick

to the Government. These inter-

wife. Lavonne, were indicted for
alleged income tax evasion over

The piece de resistance of our

appearances of Arthur H. Sam
iSh. the portly million dollar beer
lobbyist. Californians have had
snatches of his squalid story be-
fore, but never in quite such detail
direct from the lips of the master
string puller himself.
Samish stands over feet, 2
inches and must weigh better than
300 pounds. He is bald with a
monks tonsure of gray fringe, and
a face of bland innocence. He
gesticulates freely in the grand
style, stabbing the air with his
horn-rimmed glasses or fiddling
with his watch chain, a heavy
affair of white gold or platinum,
made up of large links which form
and repeat his initials-A. H. S.
He speaks magniloquently. Il am
here to cooperate" he would
boom at US.
We kept hearing of connections
involving him and Mickey Cohen,
and Samish admitted he regularly
took the baths at Hot Springs,
Ark, a gangster-favored resort.
There on his last trip, he met the
East coast gangster. Joe Adonis,
and put in a long distance call to
Gambler Dandy Phil Kastel, who
looks after Frank Costello's in
terests in New Orleans.
From his l949 tax return, we
knew Samish's gross reported in
come had been $143,697. OF this
income. $90.999.94 represented
fees from his public relations"
clients. The principal contributor
was the California State Brewers
