This Week in the Garden

Spring is just around the cor
ner. the Baltimore Flower Show
opened yesterday. Tomorrow the
New York and Philadelphia Shows
open their doors to eager garden
ers. For a week the big shows will
be crowded with gardeners eager
to see plants and flowers in bloom,
the best in flower arrangements, as
well as the latest in garden
gadgets. Some will stop to study
the gardens and planting arrange
ments to gather ideas of how to
landscape their new homes, others
will seek garden machinery dis
plays in order to learn more about
power tools. There are so many
things to see and do at the shows
that they appeal to tens Of thou
sands Of gardeners each spring.
The Anal stages Of spring prun-
ing should be completed as soon
as possible. Roses and other semi
hardy shrubs may be pruned now.
Certainly the pruning of fruits,
grape vines. Towering shrubs and
trees should be completed before
the sap begins to rise. The annual
dormant spray should be applied
before the new leaves appear-in
fact, should be applied before the
buds begin to break.
A dormant spray applied at this
season might well have nicotine
sulphate added to catch the early
aphids. One tablespoonful to the
gallon of water.
1t is time to start tomato, egg
plant. pepper, petunia and other
slow growing seeds so that they
will be ready for planting about
the first OF May. More rapid grow
ers. such as Zinnias and marigolds
need be started until near the end
of March.
Radishes, lettuce and beet seed
may be sown In the cold frame
now. A rich, moist soil suits them
best since they must make rapid
growth to be of best quality.
The cut ends Of rose canes are
a favorite point Of entry for the
cane borer. Covering cut ends
with tree dressing, asbestos paint
or some other protective material
will prevent the entry of this pest
and in most cases protect the
canes from serious die-back.
GooSeberries and currants are
not widely grown in the Washing
ton area because they are inter-
mediate hosts of the White pine
blister rust. If grown. however
they should be regularly sprayed,
and fertilized. Neglected
plants are apt to become infested
with the disease, certainly they
cannot be expected to produce
good quality fruit. A deep mulch
of compost is necessary for best
results with currants.
Early March is one of the best
periods in which to prune ever
green shrubs and hedges. The
shrubs should be so pruned as to
retain their normal habit of
growth. Regular pruning is es-
sential to their vigor, compact
ness and to keep them from out
growing their situation. Hedges
need to be kept pruned to straight
lines and the base should be wider
than the top if a barelegged ap-
pearance is to be avoided.
Privet hedges that have be-
come filled with dead wood. clus-
ters of short stubs and otherwise
unattractive may be reworked by
cutting them back to a foot or so
in height. The new growth will
spring from below the pruning
cuts and will soon provide strong
new growth close to the ground.

March Is d Mad Scramble
By W. n. Younomon

Each March, plan as carefully
as we can. turns out to be a mad
scramble. There are planting
chores-trees, shrubs, roses. ever
greens as we'll as the seed Of early
crops which must be tucked into
the ground as early as possible.
Then, of course. the pruning must
be completed and the dormant
spray applied to every deciduous
tree and shrub on the place.
Seems that this should hardly call
for a scramble, but there are al
ways rainy days to be expected
during the big week end when we
had hoped to accomplish SO much.
March is an uncertain month
so far as gardening goes for there
will be frosts. freezes and perhaps
a snow storm to upset our plans.
This may imply that we are a
trif1e mad ourselves, but there is
a right time for each job and
planting simply must be done at
the right time If the plants are to
make satisfactory growth. The
peas and potatoes must go into
the ground in March If they are to
mature at the proper season-jusJ
ahead of hot weather. Even then
an occasional crop will be lost due
to an early hot spell. Thus. If we
cannot plant them in March we
might just as we'll save expense
and effort and not plant them at
all.
The grass seed that we should
have sown in February cannot
possibly be delayed beyond the
first week in March If it is to JUS
tify the expense and time spent.
Grass seed. or any other seed.
takes time Of germinate and after
it has sprouted the weather should
be cool for a week or more TO en-
courage roofing. Hot weather
stimulates top growth at the ex-
pense of rooth growth and unless
well rooted the grass plants will
not survive our summers. This
same theory applies to the shrubs.
evergreen and deciduous-which
we plant with such great expecta-
tions. If the planting was done
at the proper season those dreams
are likely to be fulfilled. that Is. if
we follow the old rule of putting
a dollar plant into a ten dollar
hole"
Check the Drainage.
So often during planting as we
try to get everything into the
ground at the proper season rainy
week ends interfere and we are
often forced to skimp on the prep
aration of the planting holes. This
is unfortunate. because in this
area the soil needs to be enriched
with compost or other humus. We
should always check on the sub
surface drainage for even though
the soil is properly prepared, it still
may be effort wasted if excess wa
ter cannot escape into the sub
soil. Only aquatics will thrive with
their roots in water. Unorthodox
as 1t sounds, it is better to plant
in unprepared soil If the lack of
subsurface drainage cannot be
corrected. Improved soil in a
planting hole will permit more
rainfall to enter than can drain

AS Senator Moody Sees II:
Vote on Extension Diminishes
Chances of Adequate Controls

unless SlaugnCerefS are kept uuQeT
the quota system there will be no
check on who kills how much and
when. The result, he says, will
be short supplies in legitimate
markets and plenty of black mar
ket beef at higher prices. This, /"
he said, ''is the black market
amendment" 1t went in the bill
anyway.
AS the bill came from commit
tee, it contained q clause chang
ing the base sterilization date
from the pre-Korean May-June,
1850, to January 26-February "a
of this year. And banning roll
backs below the price in the 1851
period.
Price Increases Stressed.
Between the Korean invasion
and January Is, prices moved up
ward rapidly but unevenly. Many
businessmen responded to the
Presidents plea to hold the line
on prices. Others refused. charged
all the unsettled markets would
bear. Just after the hordes OF
Chinese Reds swept southwark,
late in 1850, prices shot upward
at rate more violent and more
distorted than ever in our his
tory.
The job of Stabilizer Eric john
ston and Administrator di Sale
since then has been to bring back
the former normal balance of re-
Ilationship of the economy. This
requires some price increases for
businesses that stifled any in
stinct to profiteer. 1t requires
sharp rollbacks for those who did
mot Stifie this instinct.
When the committee banned
rollbacks beyond the January Is
level, the question became: Would
the distortions be frozen? Would
those who had responded tu "hold-
Ithe-line" be penalized while prof.
lteers had their prices protected by
law? Or would all prices be rolled
forward, roughly, to the profiteers'
level, bringing an (estimated> 6 to
to 8 per cent rise il the cost of
living, a new and higher wage
line. The spiral will be on the
move.
Boiled down, the Senate's ver-
dict was this: There will be no
rollbacks of food products below
the January February level.
But ceilings on other items may
be set below the January freeze
Eif cost increases are reflected in
the new prices.
This latter clause was written
in on the floor through co-opera-
| ton between Senators Millikin,
Republican, of Colorado; Humph-
rey, Democrat, of Minnesota, and
other Senators. 1t is chiefly around
this clause-in what form it comes
out of the final conference" be-
tween Senate and House after the
House has acted-that will deter
mine whether the new law will be
an imperfect instrument or a vir-
Itual guarantee of more, and more
dangerous imitation.

As Senator Moody Sees II:
By Blair Moody
Senator From Michigan.

ceu&tor rum Rutcutbhus
Congress has voted itself a g.
day reprieve in which to decide
how firmly to protect the country
against imitation, and how far to
play ball with the special-interest
spokesman who help populate its
corridors and galleries.
The chance for a really ade-
quate law to extend the one which
expired last highland a law
which would provide a strong dixie
against higher prices and give the
consuming public a break in roll
backs"-Seems gone. 1t died in the
early hours of Friday morning,
when the Senate passed. shortly
before 4 AM. a severely lacerated
nine-months extension bill.
There is still hope, however. that
before July 81 new law may be
passed. Much depends on the
temper of Congress during the
period during which controls will
be maintained as they are while
the new law is written.
Members Concerned.
AS of this week end, there is
doubtless sincere concern in Con-
gress over the dangers of inf1a-
tion-in the abstract. But the ac-
tons of the Senate. with the ex-
ception of a single amendment,
were in each case to weaken
81 rather than strengthen the fight
against it, In the midst of fervent
praise of Congress itself for pass
ing what was described as a SUI
perb law. the present one, the
Senate voted down overwhelm-
ingly a motion to renew it. The
mood of the House seemed no diff
ferent.
The stop-gap resolution carried
a rider prohibiting any rollbacks
of any kind during the 31-day
period. This automatically knocks
out the reduction of a wide variety
of consumer articles, especially
clothing, scheduled to take effect
tomorrow.
The Senate killed the two forth
coming rollbacks in beef prices;
it is considered a foregone conclu-
sion the House will concur. The
Senate wrote into this Bill a clause
which Senator Anderson, Demo-
crat. of New Mexico, former Sec
rotary of Agriculture, predicts will
make black markets inevitable.
To keep meat in legitimate
channels, OPS has assigned each
licensed slaughterer his historic
share of the market. It has re-
versed the OPA policy of World
War II, when thousands of newly
licensed slaughterers fed the black
markets.
Slaughter Quotas Cited.
To channel the flow of meat. SO
it can be sold under controlled
prices. 1875 total flow of meat
is gagged in comparison with last
years. 1t it is ITO per cent, as in
the case of pigs, then each Slaugh-
terer may kill ITO per cent of his
1850 figure. If roughly 80 per
cent as much beef is coming to
market, then each slaughterer's
share Of the total is set at that
percentage of what he killed last
year. sae
Senators kept asking, where is
the other 20 per cent disappearing
to?" When slaughterers are hello
to 80 per cent of their last years
total, 20 per cent must go into
the black market.
The answer, Senator Anderson
points out. is that the "other &c
per cent" hasn't been disappear
ing" anywhere. If the quota is sc
per cent of 1850 it means only 90
per cent of the 1850 shipment is
coming into market. If it Is lilo
per cent, this years shipments are
larger than last.
