All the research, all the care, all
the quality put into Nurish will cost
you no more than If you were to use
a plant food made without them.
Concentrated plant food must dis
solve completely in water Nurish
does. Plant food must not have too
much or too little nitrogen, phos-
phate, and potash NuriSh has
equal amounts of each. Plant food
must never cake, ball up, or lose
strength . .Nurish can't. Plant food
shouldn't smell NuriSh doesn't.
Plant food measurements must be

3k cents.
So here, at last, is a food you can
use for every gardening and lawn
purpose - without fear, because it is
actually n1istGke-proot.

Here's the formula experts call ''perfect''

Every growing thing must have food.
Every food - from eggs and bacon to
hay and nitrogen - is a chemical mix
ture.
The chemicals that make your blood
and your brain are different from those
that make your bones and teeth. And SO
with plants: leaves and stalks must have
seeds must have phosphorus Stems,
roots, and sprouts must have potassium
(potaSh). And they must have other
things: manganese, copper, boron, zinc.
In Nurish, you viii ind all Of these,
tions: 20% each of nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium - not 5-10-5, not 15-30-15,
not 10-52-17. Naco scientists took the
necessary time and care to discover that

THERE'S magic almost past imag-

plant foods.
They can make your garden grow
2 to 5 times faster. They can make your
flowers and fruits bigger and richer
than you ever thought possible.
But wait! Do you know the differ
ence between "dry" food and liquid
food-and how they work? Are you
hesitating to use any plant food for
fear of making mistakes? Here are 4
mistakes many gardeners make:
!. OVER-DOSING. You can spoil
flowers and plants by applying
too much fertilizer.
2. BURNING. Fertilizer dust, spilled
or drifted onto leaves by wind
when applying, burns tender
young plants.

FERTILIZING. Dry fertilizer
cannot feed plants until it is dis

Elm Disease CLEANUP Nav !

May is the spring cleanup
deadline in the battle against
Dutch elm disease. BY then, ac-
cording to pathologists dead and
diseased branches of elm trees
should be removed and burned.
If dead elm trees cannot be re-
moved by that date, then the bark
should be stripped off and burned.
Purpose Of the cleanup is
Evening star., 1952-04-27

The disease is spread in two
ways-by bringing in plants from
infested areas (there is no quar-
antine for the azalea petal blight) :.
and by insects. No doubt some will
say it is possible to buy from in
Spected nurseries and get disease
free plants. but experienced plant
pathologists insist it is impossible
to say that plant is free of the
disease spores until it has been
grown for full season under OBJ
servation.
Costly to Control.
This is very disconcerting to-
the azalea fan because once the
disease becomes established in an
area it is extremely difficult and
costly to control it. Therefore it
Is important that purchase of
new plants be restricted to areas
that are free from the disease. As
mentioned above. it is already in
the Washington area, brought in
from infested areas by those seek
ing to buy cheap plants.
The insects seeking pollen will
soon spread it further unless there
is a determined drive to clean up
the infected paintings. That may
be difficult since the insects can
carry the disease from the culti-
waited varieties to the natives. The
wooded lands within the Washing
ton area are well supplied with the
Pinxter azalea and perhaps one or
two others.
The Indicas and Kurumes are
most susceptible to the azalea
petal blight. How many more
and whether or not there are re-
slstant' or immune kinds, has not
been determined. 1t has been Sug-
gested that an infected planting
could best be cleaned up by remov-
ing all OF the flower buds from the
infected plants for two years; by
removing the surface litter about
the plants. and by spraying. No
doubt this would be practicable in
the early stages of infection. but
certainly where there are as MANY
azalea plants as we have in this
area, it would Of necessity have
to be in the early stages.
Without their bloom, the azalea
plant has little to offer. Certainly
we have much better foliaged
plants for landscape paintings.
Because Of their wide range of
colors. long season of bloom and
the beauty of massed colors, every
one loves the azaleas. For these
reasons, it is important that we
avoid introducing the disease into
our gardens. and, If we should get
it. that stringent steps be taken to-
stamp it out before it becomes
widely established. Otherwise. we
may have to follow the practice
now being followed in some gardens
picking off by hand all infected
blooms as soon as the disease is
visible.

The AzdIed Petal BLiqht
Gardeners Should Take Immediate Steps
To Prevent Damage to Paintings Here
BY W. H. Younsmon
Garden Editor

A short time ago the writer
visited azalea and camellia gar
dens from Norfolk to the South
Carolina line to see the spring
floral display. There are many
excellent collections, both public,
semi-public, and private in the
area. so it was an excellent oppor-
tunity to see many varieties in
bloom.
Some were in full bloom at Nor
folk that had passed their prime
further south. On the other hand,
the late bloomers were putting
forth in the more southern gar
dens, so the trip gave a fairly
good picture of many of the older
varieties. Not many Of the new
Glenn Dale. Beltsville and Gable
hybrids were to be seen.
Much of the display in the
azalea gardens, starting with Nor
folk, is derived from the Indicas-
only a few Of which are reliably
hardy in the Washington area
1ndica alba, magnifica and I. Lady
Lilac are the exceptions. The
long Towering season of the In
dicas make them especially de-
Slrable for mass paintings in the
southern gardens. However, they
seem to be especially susceptible
to the disf1guring disease-azalea
petal blight.
The azalea petal blight was first
discovered about 1881 near Jack
sonville, Fla, and since then has
spread throughout the south and
as far north as the Washington
area. It may be carried on the
petals Of Towering plants or in
the surface litter of rooted plants.
1t is particularly depressing be-
cause in the advanced stages the
petals Of the bloom collapse and
the flowers look as though they
had been ut by hot water.
Flowers Collapse.
without some effort at control
the flower display in an infested
azalea garden is discouraging be-
cause the flowers are specked in
the first stages of the disease, and
in the second, are collapsed. The
petals of a healthy plant drop to
the ground when withered, but on
a diseased plant they remain
hanging from the bud, sometimes
over winter. In one of the gar
dens visited. no effort was being
expended to control the blight
and many portions of the garden
were ruined. In another garden.
where they were making a de-
termined fight to control the dis
ease. no signs of it were visible.
The control consisted of spraying
the entire planting every other
day with dithane, one of the newer
fungicideS. Other materials NAV
be just as good, but experiments
have not yet gone far enough to
show which are better.

Why this amazing new scientific discovery will
give you ''dream garden''-or your money back

Agricultural scientists have long
known that chemicals would increase
plant growth. But Federal, State, and
private laboratories discovered that
chemical combinations which worked

fit the needs of others.
Naco had to find a combination that
would exactly fit the needs of home
gardeners like you.
So Naco scientists gathered informa-

experimental laboratories all over the
country, and tested one combination

Authorities Fear For Ike's Safety
 On Korea Jaunt

SEOUL, (P)-Many Americans are worrying about the dangers President elect Dwight Eisen- hover will face if he goes to the Korean battle front.
 That's not what's bothering au- thorities here. They are worrying about the dangers Eisenhower will meet if he comes to Seoul and almost certainly he will.
 This is a burned, battered city with a struggling, poverty-strick- en population of about 8OO,OOO.
 Filtering among these thousands are spies, Communists and mal- contents, some known but most unknown. There's simply no way to keep them out.
 Military regulations require a valid reason for a civilian to enter Seoul but as a military policeman said Friday:
 "There's no way to keep Kor- cans out if they really want to come in. They sneak across the Han river in boats at night - sometimes we catch them - and they sneak in by land. When they get into town, how do you tell a North Korean Communist from a South Korean ally. You can't tell by locking. Anyway I can't"
 Pfc. Carl R. Davis of the 558th Military Police Company in Seoul, a 26-year-old soldier from Tahle- quah, Okla, put it this way:
 "There are Communist guerril- las still left in this part of the country and it really would be a feather in their caps to pick off General Eisenhower.
 ''The Korean press is trumpet ing that President Syngman Rhee plans the biggest, city-wide wei come for Eisenhower that any wis itor to the capital ever had. That means it will be a big one-with rushing thousands, parades, and the like.
 But what about security?"

Pickets Again
 Halt Sailing of Alaska S.S. Ship

SEATTLE, (P-Friday's sched- uled sailing of the steamer Bara- nOf was cancelled by the Alaska Steamship Go. as a waterfront tie up involving AF'L longshore fore men spread to the company's pier here.
 It is the second week in a row that the lines passenger ship sail ing to Alaska has been cancelled. The Denali was cancelled out a week ago because AFL Sailors Union members refused to sign on during their demonstration against the Wage Stabilization Board.
 D. E. Skinner, Alaska Steam general manager, wired Governor Gruening's office at Juneau for help. The governor currently is on a trip to the States.
 Skinner said future sailings are indefinite. "We urgently request your immediate and active assist ance in resolving this problem" '" the telegram said
 The Baranof was at Pier 42 with six other vessels when pick cts. from the AFL International Longshoremen's Association put in an appearance Thursday.
 The pickets were ordered as part of the HAS attempt to force employers to hire dock foremen only through the ILA. The dis pute is with the Independent Ship & Dock Foremen's Union of Washington, recently organized by a group of foremen who broke with the ILA. The latter organiza- tion contends the move was de- signed to bring the foremen into Harry Bridges Independent Long shoremen and Warehousemen' s Union.

Heacock Charges CAB Regulations Killing Off Independent Air Operators

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, >(P) - Easing of regulations on inde- pendent, non-scheduled airlines is essential as a defense measure, Amos E. HeacOck, president of the Air Coach Transport Association said yesterday.
 Heacock came here from his home in Anchorage, Alaska, to attend meeting of the ACTA board of directors. He heads Air Transport Associates, Inc, an in dependent firm operating be- tween Alaska and Seattle.
 'The present strangle hold on the independents" Heacock said, lis killing off companies which would be the first to furnish transport planes to the armed forces in case of attack.
 "This was pointed up both by the Korean situation and by re- cent floods in the Midwest. Be- cause we are more mobile and not tied down, our planes were the first called into action in both in- stances.
 "We cannot afford the luxury of a cartel in air transportation in times like these"

LIN Legal Counsel Leaps to Death
 From l2th Floor

NEW YORK, P) - The death plunge of United Nations counsel Abraham H. Teller has touched off a controversy between LIN. Secretary-General Tgygve Lie and the McCarran subcommittee probing the loyalty of American employees of the world organiza- ton.
 The AT year old Teller tore himself from his wife's arms yes terday and leaped to death from their 12th floor apartment.
 Lie, who announced his resig- nation from his LIN. post Monday said Teller killed himself because of the strain of defending U. N. employees against indiscriminate smears and exaggerated charges" :"
 A federal grand jury as well as Sen. Pat McCarran's Internal Se- curity subcommittee has been looking into charges of subver- sive affiliations aimed at some American members of the secre- tariat.
 Robert Morris, counsel for the Senate subcommittee, said Teller himself was not a target of the investigation. He termed Lies as sertion irresponsible"
 Teller was an $18,000-a-year general counsel and principal di- rector of the JUN. legal departs ment since 1946. He was credited with writing some of the most important statements of Lie.
 Associates said Teller had been a close friend of Alger Hiss.

Chances for Alaska Statehood Slight In 83rd COnress

WASHINGTON, (P-What are the chances of statehood for AL aska or Hawaii coming out of the 83rd Congress?
 Not so good, judging by past performance of the men who will be cracking the whip come Jan uary.
 The stumbling block again is Alaska. Republicans are ready to vote Hawaii into the union, but their margin of control in either house doesn't seem large enough to force the issue on the Pacific territory without some kind of a deal on Alaska.
 And there are Republicans - particularly Sen. Butler of Neb- raska who will head the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Com mittee-who aren't ready to deal the northern territory in. As chairman, Butler will hold the power of life and death over any statehood proposal reaching his group.
 Additionally, Alaska has been Democratic and Hawaii Republi- can, although Alaska has now elected a Republican legislature. For that reason, legislative think ing has considered both territories one for statehood purposes. There is one ray of light in the apparent stalemate. That is. the possibility of a compromise on a bill to permit residents of both Alaska and Hawaii to elect their own governors. Butler has intro duced such a bill for. Alaska in past sessions and presumably would give it his blessing again. Supporters of such a measure say it would be a step toward state hood.
 Ardent statehood proponents, however, have opposed that sub stitute. They have contended it is a sidetracking maneuver in the statehood contest.

Pet Cocker Spaniel Pup Rides Seaplane Pontoon, But Is Returned Safely

SEATTLE, (P)-It was a nice routine flight for pilot Roy Aitchi- son as he gunned his seaplane along at 2,000 feet until he looked out a window. Then he nearly froze with fright.
 What he saw was the Aitchi- sons family pet cocker spaniel pup, Curley, clinging desperately to a pontoon. The dogs tail was toward the front and his fur was blowing like crazy.
 Aitchison thought it was hope less, he related here yesterday, but he throttled the plane down to 50 miles an hour. Then, mak- ing a slow, flat turn, he flew back to nearby Lake Sammamish with Curly still hanging on. Then, in the wash of the landing, he feared the dog would be lost, but the plucky pup hung on.
 And then the tears of Bill, 4, and Mrs. Aitchison, who had seen the takeoff but couldn't warn her husband, turned to cheers, and all joined in giving Curly a good rubdoWn.

 Representatives of the Air Transport Association - the, air lines organization mn and several individual airlines including Pan American and Western, met with members of the CAB.
 Much in the foreground of the discussions are the plans of Scan- dinavian Airlines System (SAS).
 SAS plans to ferry one of it's new DC-6B airplanes next week from the factory at Santa Monica, Calif., by way of Canada and Thule, Greenland, to Scandinavia A second plane is to be similarly ferried later this year.
 The airline hopes with these two trips to 'prove" new route from the US. West Coast to north ern Europe some 10 hours shorter than the existing route by way of New York City.
 Denmark, Norway and Sweden have filed separate notes within the past six weeks asking the State Department for consulta- tions on the amendment of exist ing bi-lateral air transport agree ments. The State Department plans to reply that it will be happy to take part in such con- suItations.
 Before the meetings, however, the State Department and the CAB want to sound out the plans lowing are the only requests for polar routes on file. with the CAB:
