Even beginners in gardening will
understand the Importance of keep
ing all weeds out of the garden.
Weeds compete with crops for light,
moisture and plant nutrients.
Cultivation Needed
AS soon as the soil can be prop
er1y worked following each rain or
irrigation, you should thoroughly
hoe or cultivate to kill weeds that
have sprouted and leave the surface
in loose friable condition to absorb
the next rainfall. The primary value
of hoeing or cultivating, however,
is to control weeds. Cultivation
should be shallow to avoid injuring
the vegetable plant roots near the
surface, Edmondson warns.
In small gardens, the ordinary hoe
is the only tool required for weed

The Government today waved
the big stick of seizure over the
steel industry IN an effort to force
settlement of the price-wage dis
pute and avert a Nationwide
strike now set for next Wednes-
day. -......
But there were grave doubts in
the minds of many legal experts
whether President Truman has
the authority to take over the
steel mills. Most lawyers believed
that seizure would require a spe-
ejal act of Congress and the ad-
iministration may request such au-
thority.
Even if not carried out, the eff
feet of the threat to seize. which
came from the White House, was
to increase pressure on the steel
producers to meet the wage terms
and other new contract proposals
made by the Governments Wage
Sterilization Board.
Set to Strike.
About $4,000 members of the
United Steelworkers of Go Pres
ident Philip Murray, employed in
basic steel plants, are set to strike
at 1901 am. next Wednesday I'M
less the industry agrees to the
WSB contract terms. About the
only cheerful thing about the sit
uation was the postponement Of
strike action for "a hours.
Mr.. Murray took this action in
compliance with an agreement
with the Wage Board that he
would give full four-day notice of
strike intentions after April /.
Steel producers contend that
unless they receive a substantial
boost in the price of steel they
cannot afford to meet the WSB
settlement proposals, which call
for a wage increase of 1712 cents
per hour, union shop and otner
concessions.
Government Standing Firm.
The Government, however. ap-
parently was standing firm that
the producers are not entitled, be-
cause of their earnings position. to
a price boost to Offset the expected
wage concessions.
Postponed for three days, com
pany-union negotiations finally

of such articles or materials as
may be required by the Govern
ment," provided the private own
ers fail to make deliveries of de-
tense orders.
However, defense orders &C
tually coming from the Govern
ment are comparatively few, and.
in any event, this provision hardly
could be used to seize an entire
industry, or to avert a strike in
even a single plant. First, there
must be the failure" to make
delivery which could hardly come
before a strike.
The steel producers, who fear
seizure and the possibility the
Government would put into effect
the higher wage terms, said i'm
mediately they would challenge
any such action by the Govern
ment in the courts.
