seed sowing is usually sufficient
preparation of fall spaded soil.
Leave the soil lumpy so that
erosion will be reduced to
minimum. Frost action will pull

be done while the soil is much
wetter than it is safe to do in
the spring. However. it is rec
commended that only enough
spading be done to take care of
the early planted spring crops.
The balance Of the space should
be seeded to cover crops which
will both prevent erosion and en-

Corn Treatment
BY Sound Waves
To Be Continued
BY the Associated Press

Agriculture Department research
engineers have disclosed that they
are continuing experiments to de-
Itermine whether treatment of corn
seed by ultra high sound waves
will affect corn yields.
/ Hybrid corn seed was treated
with ultrasonic apparatus last
year at the Departments re-
search center at BeltSville. Md.
Treated in test tubes. the seed
then was planted in a small area
on the experimental farm.
Scientists reported that there
was some increase in yield but
they said that, the results were
far from conclusive. The increase
might have been due to other
factors.
But this year, they have gone
farther. They have treated pollen
taken from corn with the high
frequency sound waves and then
used the pollen to fertilize other
corn.
| Russian agricultural scientists
reported several years ago, the
engineers said, that they had OBJ
tanned large increases in yields
with ultrasonic treatments.
An ultrasonic generator used at
BeltSville to generate electrical
waves has a crystal to produce
sound waves inaudible to the
human ear.
The engineers stressed that mo
one can go on the results of one
years experiment" and that it is
too early to tell whether the ultra
high frequency sound waves actu-
ally are resulting in any increase
in corn yield.

Putting the Garden to Bed
MonyFoN Tasks
Meant to Assure
Plant Protection
By w. H. Younomou

It is early to be talking about
putting the garden in shape for
it's winter rest, but there are some
steps which should be taken long
before the ground is frozen and
outside work ceases. The primary
consideration should be adequate
drainage, If the dormant plants
are to survive. Another chore is
to see that mulching materials are
at hand and tender plants given
adequate protection. These are
steps that we can begin to take
now while there is ample time. OF
course. there are a number of
other jobs to be done before win
ter sets in that will help the
garden and it's inhabitants.
First the drainage problem. Most
plants are more or less dormant
during the winter months and If
allowed to be submerged they will
smother. Drainage may be pro-
vided In anyone of several ways.
bitches may be dug around the
beds which will carry away ex-
cess moisture. Or, we may fill in
the low spots about our plants and
that will help to divert water away
fro mthem. Still another method
is to lay tile which will provide a
hidden channel for the surplus
moisture. removing it to some safe
point.
Perhaps all of these methods
may be used in a given garden to
take care of the various situations.
An extra supply of soil might well
be provided now so that it will be
available when needed. 1t can be
used to fill the Sunken areas in
bulb beds; to supply the material
for mounding around newly
planted roses and shrubs, and to
fill the low spots in the lawn.
Begin Collecting Mulches.
1t is not too early to begin
accumulating mulching materials.
some of which should be applied
now and some when the ground is
frozen. Pine boughs, one Of the
most useful protecting materials.
should be obtained about mid
November or early December.
Straw. pine needles or sawdust
will be needed to protect the
strawberry bed and an ample
supply is desirables These same
materials may be used around
young perennial plants which must
be protected from the effects of
freezing and thawing and "heav-
ing" Even the hardy pansy plants
will do much better II mulched
with partially-rotted cow manure.
Now is the time to begin collect
ing almost every available kind of
mulching materials to put the
garden in first-class shape for
winter. Some will be used now to
keep the ground from freezing so
that the shallow roots will con-
tinue to function. The azaleas,
rhododendrons and the narrow
leaved eyergreens benefit from
such care. We also use 1t around
such hardy plants as the pansies,
Oriental poppies and madonna
lilies which may keep their green
tops all winter.
There are the plants which, once
asleep. should be kept in that
condition by a mulch applied after
the ground has frozen. AS men,

It's Only Money

Now that Daniel Bell has been named
chairman of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, should like
to mention two needs that likely will
interest the commission.
First, there is the lack of police en-
forcement which in itself has damaged
the civic and national pride of visitors
at the Zoo park, where Uttered picnic
grounds in the summer are a disgrace.
Strict crackdowns on the offenders would
quickly end this. 1t would be necessary to
discipline or punish only two or three.
with due publicity.
Next, there is the crude cement "wad-
ing poof' and common hydrants on the
White House Grounds that is called
fountain" Not even the tiniest country
in Europe would fail to dignity the home
of President or ruler with a magnifi-
cent fountain on the grounds. There is
no use to mention such capitals as Paris,
London, Rome and Berlin in this con-
nection.
If I had authority, I'd build $2O-mil-
lion fountain on the White House
Grounds (maybe two). But can we not
have at least say couple Of million-
dollar ones? If not. can't we have one at
least as imposing as many that can be
seen on other public grounds or even on
private estates? We are proud of our
White House, but its modest simplicity
deserves bit of highlighting along the
lines suggested

Puts Trumun on Couch

Now that all the mouthpieces have
apologized for international intrigue and
politics, let us not forget Mac, the
American General, who did good job
of his work-more so than that OF
Generals Ike, Bradley and Marshall put
together, and got fired Notwithstanding.
Since Truman fired Mac and Mac
presented his side to Congress in pure
and simple facts, President Truman and
all his satellites, Acheson, Bradley and
Marshall, have engaged in veritable
logomachy to relieve their defensive
mechanism, or guilty conscience. What
is remarkable in all this back talk is the
plain truth that the areas of agreement
between Gen. Macarthur and the ad-
ministration are far greater than the
areas of disagreement.
To the average American the fact Is
that Gen. Macarthur was fired be-
cause he realized that the Korean con-
f1ict was getting out of hand by reason
of the support of Red China by Red
Russia. And yet, President Truman says
that he doesn't want to provoke Red
Russia and risk World War III.
All this is double talk. Red Russia
and Red China are already in another
war in Korea. Why then the fear or
apology for Red Russia, which is salts
fed with the subtle World War III it
is waging now under pretext of Korean
conflict and at the expense of vital
American sacrifices?

ing the Assembly's Good Offices Committee to
continue efforts for peaceful settlement, the
embargo resolution is at pains to remind the
Communist aggressors that the door is not closed
to honorable negotiations. At the same time,
however, even though it does not go much be-
yond formalizing shipping bans already in effect,
the resolution, when the Assembly adopts it, will
serve to dramatize the solidarity of the U. N.
majority in the Korean war. Further besides
tending to tighten up present controls 1t will
lay the groundwork for sterner action If sterner
action proves necessary.
All this is in keeping with the letter and
spirit of the February resolution labelling Red
China as an aggressor. What 1t amounts to, in
effect, is the first formal step by the law-abding
members of the U. ~ to join in doing everything
possible with the minimum measures of lin
tied embargo, to insure that the free worlds SOL
diers in Korea are not endangered by any of the
free worlds shipments to the Communist enemy.
1t is step that should have been taken months
ago, but better late than never.
