request for extension of the tax
from June 80 to December 81.
How the House Republican
leaders plan to get the excess
profits tax extension out of MIR.
Reeds committee within the
next week or two remains some
thing of a mystery. They have
indicated they believe most of
the 10 Democrats on the COM
mittee will vote to extend the
tax. They also expect several
of the Is Republicans will go
along at least to the extent of
reporting out an extension bill
so that the whole House could
act on it.
Hear ADA Spokesman.
The committee today heard a
spokesman for Americans for
Democratic Action argue against
tax cuts, pcking fun at "croco-
die tears" he said were being
shed for small businesses on &C
count of the excess profits tax.
The testimony was offered by
Edward D. Hollander, national
director of ADA, which describes

there a collection of plants SIM
liar to those at the garden.
The Botanic Garden azaleas
are what is known as tender
azaleas. They are not hardy, and
were bred particularly for inside
display.
These hybrids are produced by
crossing a number of azalea
varieties. known as Rutherford
anas, they were produced first
some 80 years ago in New Jersey.
They are the result of crosses be-
tween the old Ghent variety with
1ndicas and others.
Triangular Display.
Garden officials said the ex.
hibit- will be formed in q, tri-
angular plot, with, sides about
IS feet long. They said the aza-
leas will be displayed in masses,
arranged in different heights.
There will be a background of
evergreenS, and a trelliS will be
built at one side of the display.
Colors in the display will range
from salmon, through the various
shades of reds, to pinks and
whites. The blooms, gardeners
say, are particularly large and
snowy this season.
This is the natural blooming
period of the tender azaleas, of
f1cials explained, so the plants
were not forced for the show.
Others to Show.
Emphasis also will be placed
on aZaleaS in another flower show
exhibit. The University of Mary
land, outstanding last year for
its propagation display, will dem
onStrate the culture of azaleaS
this year.
DR.. Conrad B. Link, head of
Horticulture at the university, said
the exhibit will show how aZa-
leas are grown. Various phases
will be shown from the earliest
cuttings to the blooming stage.
The exhibit also will show soil
preparation, how best to plant
azaleas and other cultural prac-
ticeS:

Fresh Seed Best
For Planting Garden

Use fresh seed in the garden.
If you have seed left over from
last year and feel it waSteful not
to use it, test carefully. Make
two or three paintings of most
spring vegetables in order to
have a continuous supply.
Ten days before planting place
4 to Z pounds of 5-10-5 or
similar fertilizer in every 100
feet of row. When the plants
are 2 to 3 inches tall, sidedress
with / to pounds of nitrate of
soda or a proportionate amount
of other nitrogen fertilizer. When
setting cabbage, broccoli, tomato,
pepper or eggplant plants, pour
one teaspoonful of a starter Solu-
ton around each plant. This is
made by diSSolving / pound of
5-10-5 fertilizer in 5 gallons of
water. Keep the solution stirred
while using.

tween rows. This may seem
like a waste Of space when the
plants are small. but when they
grow up they need room.
Crowded ANIMALS are hard to
cultivate and to cut the flowers.
Lacking sufficient air. disease
and insect pests may trouble
them.
Most ANIMALS benefit by cut
ting. The more the flowers are
cut for use indoors. the longer
they will continue to flower.
Most Of the ANIMALS should
have the tops pinched out Of
them while small. The excep-
tions are cosmos, rudbeckia, pop
py, cockScomb and scarlet sage.
This is to encourage branching
and the development Of stocky
plants.
The ANNALS: need ample plant
food, and it Is well to fertilize
them once or twice during the
growing season even though the
bed was well supplied with plant
food at time Of preparation.
Watering Is usually needed dur,
ing periods Of dry weather. Too
much water and shallow water
ing should be avoided. One good
soaking a week is ample even in
times Of drought
Keep the Weeds Down.
A mulch spread over the soil
when growth is well started will
check the weed growth, eliminate
the chore Of cultivating and will
keep the soil cool and moist.
This is especially important if
the owner is going to take a
summer vacation and wants to
have the flowers in good condi-
tion on his return.
Most ANIMALS are not troubled
with diseases, but insects may
prove troublesome. The prin-
cipal disease problem will be
with the zinnias in the fall. They
will get mildew when nights are
cool. A busting program using
a busting grade of sulphur will
protect them if applied early
enough.
Insects may be controlled cas-
lily through the use of an all-pur-
pose spray or dust. Applications
need not be started until the
insects start to work on the flow-
ers or foliage.

Gurden Outlook Good

The outlook for garden mate
rails in 1853 is good. There will
be plenty Of good vegetable seed.
The fertilizer situation will be
better than last year. While
some of the larger steel items
may be a little tight. there
should be plenty of small garden
tools. There will be ample sup
plies of dust and spray materials,
also. In fact, the only limiting
factor for most gardeners will be
their own will or determination
to do a good job.

AnnuoIs Are for Cutting
And Benefit by 1t

The snowy, summer Towering
ANIMALS are must for the home
gardener. They are mostly for
cutting, but they can also be
used for mass effects. for edgings
and for tall backgrounds. Some
have a short Towering season in
the spring, some are summer
Towering. a few bloom in the
fall and some have a long sea-
son of bloom.
ANIMALS give quick results If
given well-prepared seed bed.
For earliest bloom, many should
be sown in the fall, but there are
others that start in a sunny
window and are ready for duty
as soon as the danger of frost is
past. But they can be sown out
of doors as soon as the soil is
warm enough. If the beds are
occupied with bulbs and they
cannot be sown where they are
to do their summer duty, then a
small bed at one side can be pre-
pared.
Sun for Most Of Them.
Most ANIMALS need a sunny
situation but a few will tolerate
some shade, but it should be
light shade for all except the
ImpatienS (patience plant) &.
Some ANIMALS will tolerate q
hotter, drier situation than
others zinnias and portulaca
are good examples. also the Cali
fornia poppy. .'
The soil for the ANIMALS should
be well prepared with ample
humuS (compost) worked into
the soil to keep it from cruSting.
Lacking compost. we might try
a light application Of one of the
soil conditioners. Spread it on
the soil after the ground has
been prepared to a depth of 4 to
inches. Work. the conditioner
into the top 2 or 3 inches, mix
ing it thoroughly. Moisten and
when dry, work again before
sowing the seed. ..

In Modern Hot-Bed Construction
Heating Cable SuppIonts Hand Tools

The things you can buy these
days to do your gardening with
are marvellous.
Take a hot bed for example.
It used to be quite a job to pre-
pare the annual hot bed. Now
it is simplicity itself. All you
need is q few feet Of special
heating cable, and you are all
ready to plant.
I just finished making my hot
bed, and I know all about it.
started out like the old timers,
None Of this new-fangled. fancy
business for me, ! thought. I'll
do it like my grandfather did
with a. hole in the ground and
plenty Of manure.
The trouble was that started
planning the hot bed a few days
before I got to work on it. The
longer I planned. the less I liked
the idea Of the pit and the
manure.
The pit, ] was told, had to be
at least 2 feet deep, and had
to have about 18 inches Of ma
nure packed in. That started me
figuring
First of all, there was the dig
ging. For a bed 6 feet square,
it takes a lot of pick-and-shovel
work to get down 2 feet. After
that, it takes a lot Of fork and
wheelbarrow work to fill in 18
inches with manure. And after
all Of this, you still have to wait
until the heat begins.
But with a heating cable a hot
bed Is simplicity itself. All you
have to do is make the frame,
get the glass covers, get the
ground slanted just right, lay the
cable, cover it with good dirt
and let it warm up. In a few
days you have a tropical atmos-
phere in your frame ready for
tomato and radish seeds.
I'm all set now, and If I have
tomatoes before any of my
neighbors it will be because Of
my modern hot bed.

This Week in the Garden

Highly variable weather has
caused many to worry about
flowers, bulbs, shrubs and even
trees that are showing activity.
Many are fully advanced as they
would be in late March under
more normal conditions. There is
very little the gardener can do.
We have had severe winter
weather in March and an April
snow is not unknown. We can
only hope that severe weather
will not injure the less hardy
plants. The bulbs and many of
the shrubs can take it even this
late in the season.
Seeds Of hardy flowers and
vegetables may be scattered over
the soil where they are to grow.
Some such as garden peas and
kale should be well covered,
others such as portulaca, Cali
fornia poppy, etc., need be only
scratched into the surface. The
hardy ANIMALS should be Sown
as soon as possible (they do best
when seeded in the falD as it
takes frost and cold for them to
germinate.
Planting Kentucky bluegrass
seed should not be delayed any
longer If it is to have a reason
able chance of surviving the
summer. Because it is sc. slow to
sprout, Kentucky bluegrass seed
is usually sown in the late sum-
mer and this gives it time to
germinate and become well
rooted before freezing weather.
Spring seeding has to be early
so that root growth will take
place before. temperatures are
high.
In reseeding the spotty lawn it
is sufficient to scatter the seed
on top of the crabgrass and other
litter. The rain will carry it down
into the soil. However, if well-rot-
ted compost or rich top soil is
available, it can be used to give
a light covering.
It is a common sight to see
gardeners raking up the dead
crab grass and carrying it away.
presumably on the theory that
they are removing the seeds. Un-
fortunately, the seeds were
dropped last fall and are ready
to germinate whenever the
weather and soil are warm
enough. The dead crabgrass

plants might better be left on
the lawn to act as mulch.
Early March is rose-pruning
time. Modern practice is not to
cut them back severly but first
remove small weak growth that
will not be productive. Secondly,
remove any wood that is diseased,
and third, shorten the canes
about a fourth, preferably less.
Roses need all of the foliage that
can be produced to manufacture
food and the removal of a SUBJ
stantial part Of the bush reduces
the leaf-producing area. Paint
the ends Of the branches (cuts)
with a tree dressing or asbestos
cement to exclude the sawfly.
Now is a good time to check
the stored bulbs-cannas, dahlias,
gladS, etc., to see that they are
neither too dry nor too wet. If
dry, add moisture; if too wet,
spread them out to dry before
rot sets in.
Annual flowers have been i'm
proved by plant breeders more
than any other group of plants.
The fact that a new generation
grows each year is responsible for
quicker improvement than is pos
sible with slower growing peren-
mails.
Spring begins when the sun
starts north again. Days grow
longer and indoor plants grow
more vigorously. In a few weeks
hardy plants will awaken from
their winters sleep. It is later
than you think to plan your
garden.

Selecting Plants

II you're planting one rose
bush or many, select the plants
carefully. Avoid plants that are
too large. Choose plants with a
large root system. Beware of
bargains. Plant as soon as pos
sible after purchase to avoid ex-
posure to drying.
Remember that big shrubs can
grow from little shoots. Avoid
getting plants too close together
or using too many plants.

Church Role in Ending
Segregation Outlined

Practical means by which seq
regation might be eliminated
were outlined last night by rep
resentatives of three different
faiths here.
Discussing religious and racial
discrimination in the District
were the Rev. Wilfred Parsons.

Balfour Brickner Of Temple ST.
mai, and the Rev. Charles Wes-
ley Shrike Of StssAlhan's Epis-
scopaI Church.
The talks were part Of a
meeting of the Washington
Chapter Of Americans for DEM
ocratic Action, held in Pierce
Hall. All Souls Unitarian Church.
Sixteenth and Harvard streets
NV.
The Rev. Mr.. Shrike said there
are three areas in which the
church could work to eliminate
segregation. These. he said,
are:
Encouragement by the church
OF brotherhood in normal BUSH
ness relations and the speeding
OF projects like this through
work camps; the fostering Of
fellowship in worship and better
relationships in sociological. psy-
Geological and economic fields
so the public attitude can be
a more informed one.
Father Parsons pointed out
that, since quality is a dogma
Of the church. it is a natural
thing for the church to be in
terested in fostering the prac-
tice Of brotherhood in the lives
Of the people.
The Rev. Maynard Catchings.
minister Of Plymouth Congre-
gational Church, was chairman
Of the panel discussion.
