Life in the Country
Cabbage Patch or Potato Patch?
That's a Question on Taylor Place

It doesn't pay to become too
involved in gardening. You
might get into the same situation
that Mary Taylor did the other
day. Now it is going to take
Tom. her husband, a good day
to set things straight again.
The Taylors live near Lincoln,
in Loudoun County, and Mary
usually isn't much interested in
gardening. The other day was
so nice, though, that she decided
she would do something about
that garden plot back Of the
house.
She went over to a nearby
nursery and came home with
dozens of cabbage and broccoli
plants. Then she got out the
line so the rows would be good
and straight. Then she made
nice, long burrows and set out
the plants.
When Tom came back that
evening, Mary was so proud of
her accomplishments that she
took him out to see her days
work.
Its fine" Tom said. Couldn't
have been done any better.
There is just one thing, though.
You've set out all of the plants
In the potato patch"

Gardening seems to have
gotten in a complete state of
confusion up Lincoln way. There
comes a report from the j.
Stewart Smith Farm, not far
from the Taylor place.
Stewart, the report states, got
the tractor out the other day
and into the garden. He was
going so well, and the ground
was turning over so nicely, that
he got mixed up on his boundary
lines.
First thing he knew he had
plowed up half of the asparagus
bed. But the real tragedy came
later.
He was eating asparagus for
lunch a few days later when the
full impact of what had hap
pened hit him.
Never realized asparagus
tasted so good before" he said.

Bob Richardson and I are
working out a barter. Bob, an
electronics engineer, has taken
to the country like a duck to
a mill pond. The other day he
took the final plunge and bought
q COW.
She is a fine COW, too, who
answers to the name of Sum-
mertime, and will follow Bob
into the house If she gets the
chance.
But, back to our deal. Bob,
who knows all about television
sets, which are mysteries we
could never fathom, comes up
and adjusts ours when the pic
ture gets lopsided.
We, in turn, go down and
adjust his COW.

Yard Hazards
Need Checkino

Nearly one out Of five home
accidents occur in the yard dur
ing spring and summer, and are
largely the result of hazards in
walks, steps, porches and lawns.
Getting rid of these trouble
makers should be first on the list
Of spring chores, before members
Of the family or neighbors have q
chance to get hurt.
A good place to begin is with
the house itself. Inspect and re-
pair porch floor, railings, and
steps around the house. Be on
the lookout for protruding nails
and Splinters. incidentally, better
take a good look at the family
ladder. before putting up screens.

What TO Do This Week in the Garden

be dug out Of the rhizomes be-
fore planting.
Order new iris rhizomes for
delivery as soon as possible
early delivery is important if
they are to become established
and to make good growth this
season. Late delivery means
poor growth and practically no
chance of bloom next spring.
Keep the roses covered with a
good all-purpose spray or dust,
one that contains Fermate. Fer
mate is the best material avail
able for the control of black
spot. Healthy roses are much
more productive than those that
have been defoliated by black
spot, also they have the vitality
to survive our winters. Protect
the bushes throughout the sea-
son with a good dust or spray.
Get the house plants into their
summer quarters as soon as pos
sible. They should be repotted
and pruned before placing in a
carefully selected summer resi-
dence, one that is handy enough
so that their vacation can be
carefully supervised. Plunge the
pots into the soil up to the top
Of the rims. A handful Of Gin
ders below the pot will prevent
earthworms from entering.

Mulch the Trees

Dogwood trees moved in from
the woods should be well mulched,
the trunks sprayed with DDT to
protect them from the borer. It
is important that the trunk be
wrapped with cloth or paper to
prevent sunscald of the tender
bark. Leave the wrapping on
until next fall.

Figure on Coming Yield of First Vegetables Sown

The first paintings of all veg

However, if they have not been
made and the soil is ready they
should be planted.

Dahlias may go into the ground
whenever the soil is dry enough
to be worked. The tubers should
be separated before planting, at
least one good "eye" to each
tuber. More than one tuber is
not desirable because dahlias are
strong feeders. Plant at least 4
inches deep. Many growers in
corporate a shovelful of compost
in the bottom of the planting
hole or may add a handful of
superphosphate to the compost
before mixing into the soil. Set
the stakes before placing the tu-
ber.
For abundant bloom for cut
ting. plant the small-flowered
dahlias and miniatures. They are
also good for exhibition in their
respective classes. The large
flowered dahlias, those that come
within the 10-inch-or-ove class.
are nice to look at but hard to
use in a flower arrangement.
Now that warm weather has ar
rived we should clean the weeds
out of the flower beds and spread
a good mulch. Mulches help to
keep soil temperatures down and
that is important for those kinds
of plants that prefer cool, moist
growing conditions. Also mulches
keep the soil from crusting and
thus permit air to enter the soil.
But. for the home gardener. the
No. l point is that they keep
weeds from coming up. Spread
the mulchipg material thick
enough to check weed growth
the thickness will depend
upon the material used. Saw
dust an inch. thick will stop
most kinds of weeds. Straw or
chopped hay should be about
two inches thick. Ground corn
cobs need to be about 11a inches
deep.
The azalea lace-f1y is present
in considerable numbers and
should be controlled at once with
some good spray or dust. The
recommended materials are mic
otine sulphate, lindane. sulphur
dust, etc. It will take two or
three applications at weekly in
tervals to bring them under COM
plete control. The materials
listed kill only the adults by
contact, a compact bushy plant

The Week in Religion
By RELIGIOUS News Service

A united movement is under
way among religious groups
throughout the world to protest
Communist persecution of Jews
and Christian groups.
Christian leaders have Joined
in statements condemning Com
munist anti-Semitism. Protest
meetings have been held in a
number of cities in this country
at which Protestant, Roman
Catholic and Jewish leaders de-
nounced Tyranny and bigotry
in the Iron Curtain countries.
The National Conference of
Christians and Jews called for
united movement of resistance
by Americans against Commu-
mist intolerance abroad as well
as bigotry in their own local
neighborhoodS. Church papers
and religious leaders overseas
have taken similar action.
Called 'Drive Against God"
A high official of the Evangeli-
cal Church in Germany said the
current anti-Jewish campaign in
Iron Curtain countries is part of
the Communist drive against
God" He added that attempts
to explain Communist persecu-
ton of the Jews from a political
point of view do not hit the real
core of the problem.
Communists know that Jews
worship God, even those who
have severed their ties from the
synagogue" he said. "But as
soon as a man worships God, the
totalitarian state is no longer
the idol to which the individual
subjects himself uncondition-
ally"
The conference, in a state
ment this week, said there was
abundant evidence" that reli-
gion is the real target of the
Communist drive and that
groups which constitute a "real
or imagined threat to totali-
tartan despotism" are subsidiary
targets.
One important indication of
the direction of Communist pol
icy came Immediately after the
notorious Prague trials last No
vember when radio networks and
press organs in all the Iron Cur
tain countries began a campaign
to link Catholics and Jews. Zion
lists and Catholics were coupled
as "reactionaries" who are out
ito oppose communism at every
STEP"
Groups ASsail Persecution.
A protest mass meeting in
New York last week adopted a
resolution saying the latest Com
munist policy indicates savage
and utter disregard of the dig
nifty and rights of man and a
determination to stamp out
Catholic, Protestant and all mi
norities who cherish the right
to conduct themselves in accord
ance with the dictates of their
consciences."
In Hartford, Conn, Msgr.
John j. Hayes. chancellor Of the
Hartford Catholic diocese, told
a similar protest meeting:
"Jews must realize that when
Christians are prosecuted it is a
Jewish problem. and Christians
must realize that when Jews are
prosecuted it is a Christian prob
lem.
