This Week in the Garden

i Washington lawns have given
a better performance this spring
than for several years. but recent
rains and hot weather favor crab
grass. Unless the lawn-mower
cutterbar has been raised. we are
apt to find the crab grass taking
over. This sort of weather favors
the spread of disease which weak
ems the bluegrass. In this condi-
ton the best of the older perma-
nent grasses. Kentucky bluegrass,
offers little competition to the
crabgrass. Heavy feeding and jul
ldiciouS cutting. under normal con-
ditions, helps to keep crab grass
under control. However, the use
of the new, more disease-resistant
variety, Merton bluegrass, will do
much to keep the lawn weed-free.
For a more perfect weed-free
lawn we will need to use one
of the improved varieties of either
the japanese lawn grass (Zoysia
Ijaponica) or the fine stemmed
Bermuda.
Beyond the use of the better va
rieties the home gardener who de-
sires velvety green lawn through
;fout the growing season must
observe the better cultural prac-
tees such as feeding the lawn in
June to give it renewed vigor; set
ting the lawn-mower cutter bar
to IL to 2 inches cutting height
land, third, using chemical weed
killers to control the crab grass
and other lawn weeds. The COM
mon weedkiller, 2, AID, is of nc
value in controlling the crab grass
: Phenylmercuric acetate. commonly
called PIMA, is widely used for this
. purpose and does a fairly credit
able job, although there is some
Opposition because it is a mercurie
compound. Applied either as q
dust or as a spray it gives con-
troll, depending upon the thor
oughness of the application. Po-
Itassium cyanate, commonly called
IPC, is another compound widely
offered, which has strong advo-
Gates. However, many base their
preference for PC on the fact that
it ultimately breaks down into fer
tilizers. Like PIMA. it must be
applied under favorable conditions
flor greatest effectiveness. Unfor-
Itunately both of these compounds
are relatively new and not enough
scientific testing has been done to
provide answers to all questions
Therefore, it is suggested that
small amounts be applied accord
ing to the manufacturers direc-
tons.
/ Currently gardeners are wonder
ing if they have applied sufficient
fertilizers to their various crops
grass, trees, shrubs, flowers and
vegetables. DR.. F. w. Parker. who
heads the research in soils, fertil-
izers and irrigation for the Agri-
culture Department, states: Even
virgin soils are not necessarily
stocked with nutrients. Most virgin
soils lack some important mineral:
may lack several of them. The
parent material of the soil, the
vegetation that grows on it, the
rainfall, temperature, time and
topography all play part in soil
nutrient content. Fertility tends
to be greater where temperatures
and rainfall are moderate. Soils
in the South are relatively low in

the animal was mad. The police
man shot the dog six times-twice
through the chest. once through
the head and once each through
the back, stomach and leg. Today
much to the amazement of all, the
animal is up and about and seems
as hearty as ever. Another proof
that the will to live is one of q
dogs strongest instincts. Two
years ago almost the Identical
thing happened to a dog in At
lanta, Ga, and this dog is alive
today also.
@. Is it true that a dog shouldn't
be given bread to eat? My sister
says this is SOL. r.
A. No, it is not true. A dog car

@. Can I feed my dog pork Oh
ham? We raise pigs. N. C.
A. Never feed your dog this
meat if it is sailed or spiced. In
other forms I can see no harm.

damage than good, because they

The Office of Price Stabili-

St. Mary's Hall Jampacked
To See Play "Anhgone"

St. Mary's Hall was jam
packed with patrons to see the
moving tragedy "Antigone"
played by the members of the
Virgin Islands Repertory Thea
tire of St. Thomas, starring ~
well known actor Nor
Chelquist as Creon and LIZ
Barbel as Antigone. The
audience was kept tense from
the time the curtain parted
until the end. The supporting
cast played their parts almost
as well as professionals.
Mr.. Chelquist's ability is un
questioned because of his wide
experience. Miss Barbel gave
an outstanding performance &
was ably supported by Mrs.
Leona Benjamin as The Nurse;
Miss Dorie Jean Piercy as Is
meme, Antigone's sister, Cal
vim SWinson as Haemon and
Cyril Creque, the First Guard.
Impressive were the parts
played by Mario Warrington
and Emil Abramsen, the
Guards; Harold Bonelli, The
Messenger; Cecile De Silva as
The Queen; and Theodore Fell
ner, Jr., the Page Boy. Homer
Kazameas, who was Narrator

ance.
rne play moved at a steady
nacA throughout and despite
the fact it was a Greek ira
gedv, it had bits of humor,
much of it supplied by Mr..
Creque, one Of the Guards.
So spellbound was the
audience that they never re-

/ am afraid that my neck is going
way out on this one. But it has to be
done.
Government control is like cancer
It does not seem so bad at first. In tact
you may not even know that you have
it. But it keeps on growing and eating,
and by and by it kills you. The end can
be horrible unless the poor patient is
drugged against the pains.
AS government control eats further
and further, the patient becomes weak
er and weaker, less and less able to re-
sist, and finally the free man dies, leav-
ing only a she'll of citizen and subject.
The horror of his dying increases with
his dawning understanding Of what
has happened to him, unless, of course,
the hired prostitutes who yield their
advertising genius to selling the idea
of government control succeed in drug
ging the poor subject with utopian
dreams of impossible blessings.
Now we are to tax baby-sitters,
housemaids, wash women, girls who
iron, the lawn-cutters and others who
help the busy housewife keep her
household in order. You are expected
to make regular reports on the earnings
of your helpers under specified condi-
tions, and it is up to you to find out
what those conditions are. Then you
must hold back part of their wages as
a withholding tax" add an equal a
mount to it, and pay it over to John
Snyder to pay back to the baby-sitter,
ct al, in their old age.
The little baby-sitter who does her
arithmetic, or entertains her boy
friend in your home while your baby
sleeps, perhaps changes a diaper, O
sings bedtime song to keep the baby
quiet and comfortable, is going TO re-
tire some day ON her government pen
sion, on what you hold out from her
wages and add to it. The pennies must
be sent to John Snyder, Secretary of the
Treasury, so he can invest them in gov
eminent expenditures, perhaps issue
bonds against them for you to pay some
day, and finally pay few dollars over

TAXES ON BABY SITTERS

to your baby sitter out OF taxes which
he collects from her at that time.
Nobody knows exactly how many
dollars it will cost to collect, handle
and pay each dollar of benefits, but
YOU can be sure that it will be more
than the benefits to be received by the
baby-sitter. That is the genius of COL
lectivistic government, which takes the
dollar away from you and then keeps
only fifty-two cents of it to pay back
forty-eight cents out of your own dol
lar.
I know, they have succeeded, thus
far, in kidding lot of people who
would like to trust the government.
But the women are waking up!
A group of women in Marshall;
Texas, just refused to collect from the
folks who help them, the social security
tax which they are told to withhold
from wages paid to their helpers. The
women explain that they refuse to pay
because the tax is unconstitutional and
therefore illegal; because it forces their
helpers to pay for something which
they do not want, and are not likely to
get, and because it forces the employers
into involuntary servitude by making
them act as bookkeepers and collectors
for the government without just COM
pensation.
1t is an enormously important prin
ciple. And John Snyder refuses to bring
suit against the women because he
knows they are right. He is afraid to
risk having the law declared unconsti-
tutional by taking it to court. He has
already lost in his first round to Vivien
Kellems and is afraid to risk the real
issue. If every patriotic American wo-
man will refuse to pay the withhold
ing tax on her domestic help, giving
as her reason the fact that the law is
unconstitutional, and that no Ameri-
can should be asked to observe an illeg-
al practice, it may we'll be that the wo-
men of America will save the country
which the cancer of government con-
troll is choking to death.
Be kind to oyur baby-sitter. Let her
have ALL of her wages, now!

Our Fairgrounds Are Not Charitu Matters

Mayor and Council held Thursday night he stated that the
running of water line the Ridge playground to provide

To begin with Mr. Wilson is public servant of the Civ Of

In the second place when the Fairgrounds provided

At the time there drinking water facilities in

At thursday nights meeting, Councilman Roy Knight made
motion that the department be to run pipe for

was not matter of concern to exist
