Activity Program

The students of X. M. II. S. are
having a closer look at the way
their student government operates.
All English. history, and core
classes have been invited TO attend
the weekly meetings, and many
groups have already accepted.
"This new policy Of the organiza-
ion is being adopted with the hope
hat the students will have a bet
ter understanding Of the problems
facing the Student Government"
said the President in last weeks
cabinet meeting.
A recent topic for discussion in
the Student Government has been
the idea Of an activity program.
The attempts at setting up a sched
ule Of this type have been hindered
by the fact that there are not en-
ough rooms for all the activities
requested.
The idea Of after-school activities
has not met with too much APP
Lroval with the students, since so
many are bus students or already
nave previous activities.

Fertilizer Supply
Held Adequute

Supplies of fertilizer for 1853
will probably be adequate. but
University Of Maryland agron-
omists advise farmers to order
fertilizer now and have it deliv-
cred during the winter. This
way they will be sure Of obtain
ing the grade they want.
Those who wait until planting
time to order may find dealers
stocks depleted, and may have to
substitute a less desirable grade.
Farmers taking early delivery
on fertilizer should make certain
that the fertilizer materials re-
ceived are in good condition and
that a dry protected place is
available for storage.

Care and Conditioning Make
Flower Deliveries Admired
By Fronk Prevoil

The National Capitol Flower
and Garden Show is very much
to the forefront in gardeners
thoughts these days. Flower ar
rangers are planning the artiS-
tic arrangements which they will
enter each day. Not many are
aware of the story behind these
flowers which are to play such a
large part.
It is not true that the for
it's by the use of their glass
greenhouses have controlled the
weather problem in growing
flowers. It is possible to raise
temperatures, but not to lower
them materially. The glass adj
mits light but in cloudy weather
there often is not sufficient light
to make the plants flower.
Artificial lighting is SatiSfac-
tory during the early stages of
growth, but has not enough in
tensity to induce Towering.
Florist Has Big Job.
How then does the florists OBJ
tain quality flowers when local
weather conditions are poor?
The florists receive flowers from
all over the country and choose
stock from that section where
weather conditions have been
best for producing quality. Be-
cause these conditions change
rapidly, this is a major problem,
particularly when transportation
facilities are not available on
week ends or holidays.
To facilitate the receipt and
care of these flowers is the job
of the wholesale florists. The re-
taller by informal bid purchases
his daily requirements from
them. Because demand and
