Some connot Toke Cold

A considerable number OF va
rieties Of the cambellia japonica
are thriving here. Undoubtedly
some will be unable to take a
severe winter. but for the mo-
ment, it would seem advisable to
stick to those which flower in
the fall and those which do not
attempt to bloom until late
March or early April. Most cata-
logues indicate the season OF
bloom.
For the beginner it might be
appropriate to name a few OF
those recommended by the Glen
wood Road Garden Club. They
are: Fall Daikagura,
Arajishi, September Morn.
Spring bloomers - Lady Clare,
Mathotiana, Tri-color Sieboldi.

Insect and disease injury so

should not be difficult TO control

Sensitive Plant

Undoubtedly the beginning ca
mellia grower has more trouble
with planting than any other
phase of culture. The camellia is
very sensitive to deep lanting and
the old saying that one inch too
deep will make them sulk
and two inches too deep
and they will die is a good
rule to keep in mind. Ex-
perienced camellia growers pre-
pare the planting holes several
weeks in advance, filling them
with mixture of equal parts of
sand, loan and peatmoss so the
soil will be settled by planting
time. At planting time they
place the root ball so that it
extends at least an inch above

Gurden Week Set

In partial observance Of Ma

% has been designated National
Gardening Week.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-04-11

My original intention was to
make a check of several gardens
with, camellia plants to see if
any had suffered winter injury.
However, the number of varieties
on display in the Takoma Horti-
cultural Club show Of last week
indicated that there was no VIM
ter injury. In fact, recent winters
have been so mild that few
bushes suffered more than wind
or sun burn.
No doubt there are many who
believe Washington to be too far
north for the culture of camellias
out of doors. Actually there are
several plants growing in the
Washington area that have been
here for several decades. It is
only during the past few years
that gardeners have begun to use
them in their yards in somewhat
the same fashion as gardeners do
in the South.
And it is proper that they
do, for the camellia japonica,
properly cared for, will live and
thrive here. No doubt there will
be winters when the combina-
ton of warm spells and freezing
temperatures will destroy the
flower buds, but that happens
to plants far more common
place.
Feed Comedies EorIy
I The camellia needs to make
its growth early in the season
in order that the new wood will
have ample time to mature be-
fore cold weather. For this rea-
son feeding should be done early
in the season, particularly if
organic fertilizers are used.
Quickly available chemical fer
tilizers may be safely applied up
to the first of June, perhaps
July, but that will depend upon
the location.
The can1ellia japonica does
not withstand full sun in winter
or summer; in fact it thrives
best, in high shade" where the
tree branches have been re-
moved to a height of 20 feet or
more. And if needs the protec-
ton Of the twigs to "break" the
winter sun. Morning sun is
beneficial and does not start
them into unreasonable activity.
It is the midday and afternoon
sun that is most likely to cause
trouble.
Other winter protection need
be nothing more than a good
thick mulch over the root area
(the camellia needs a mulch at
all timeS). Keeping the camellia
bush warm in the wintertime is
to invite trouble. Undoubtedly
there are some situations where
strong winds make a windbreak
desirable. and that may easily be
taken care of by sticking few
pine boughs into the ground a
few feet away from the camellia
plants. Or a burlap screen can
be erected to break both the
wind and the sun, but they
should be far enough away from
the plants to permit good air
circulation.

WOOL SUPPORTS

Wool is to be supported up to ITO
per cent Of parity by loans, pur-
chases and also direct payments to
producers. Program does not start
with the current marketing year,
but next year, on April 1. 1t is
4-year program to end, unless ex-
tended, on March 81, 1853.
While Secretary Benson has discretion
as to where wool shall be supported
within 80 to ITO per cent of parity
range) he is expected to put support
at or near the top level Direct pay
mentS are aimed to provide incentives
to increase production up to 800 million
pounds annually of shorn wool.
Mohair is not to vary more than Is
per cent above or below the support for
wool.

FARM-UNIT PLAN

Conservation district leaders are
being assured that the Extension
Services widely-pubIicized "farm-
unit" plan does not threaten dis
tricts. the Soil Conservation Service,
nor conservation. Whether this is
true, or otherwise, only time can
tell for sure.
There are indications, meantime, that
Extension and conservation folks may
be getting along somewhat better. Don
Williams, Sos boss, and Extensions
chief, Clarence Ferguson, have been 90
ing around the country together recent
ly ID to explain Extensions farm-unit
plan, and t2) to work out joint relations
on conservation programs.
'T can't help but believe" Williams
says, that the better understanding
of marketing opportunities and the pro-
duction opportunities that Extension
workers are especially adapted to helm
with . will enable (the farmer) to
arrive at the sound decision as to how
best to use his soil and water resources.
Ferguson describes as absurd the
idea that Extension is out to gobble up
SCS or that the farm-unit idea calls
for single master blueprint that would
instruct farmers everywhere in how
they should farm.
The Extension boss says that it will
be up to local people to decide how to
approach the problem in their areas.
The big idea, he explains, is for Exten-
sion people to do more on-farm work.
Bulletins, radio information, and other
mass media" will still be used. he
says, but there needs to be more direct
contact with the farmer and his
problems.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-09-01
PLAN NOT NEW

Extensions farm-unit idea is not
new, despite press stories that have
left contrary impressions. 1t has
been tried out experimentaIIy in
certain counties in several states.
The idea is now being expanded
which is what's causing the fuss. Exten-
sion Service will use, in this fiscal year,
some 81 million of an extra $8.3 million
voted it by Congress to expand the plan.
Most of the money will be spent by the
states for new people to assist county
agents.
In Washington, to work on the pro-
gram, will be o. C. Croy, who has been
assistant Extension Director at Ohio
State, job he held when Ferguson was
Extension Director there. Both men,
say insiders here, have a record of
friendly working relations with conSer-
walton groups.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Here are main
provisions of the new farm law:
Flexible price supports from S21a
to 80 per cent of parity next year
for basic crops means that wheat
will go down to the minimum of
S219 per cent, or about $2.O6 per
bushel; corn, IS per cent, or about
$1.55 per bushel.
Support minimum in 1856 will go down
from 821a per cent to rs per cent of
parity, barring changes in the law next
year.
Starting in 1856 corn and wheat, along
with peanuts, cotton and tobacco, start
shifting toward ''modernized parity
which will reduce dollar-cents support
rates.
CCC stocks of feed may be sold at
storage point for 10 per cent of the
current price-Support rate, until next
March.
Stiff acreage control provisions an
nounced by the Secretary may be eased
by him, according to the law, where
weather or special circumstances may
work unusual hardship.
Marketing quotas for corn are out
henceforth. Base period for figuring
average yield in counties and on
farms will be years, instead of 10.
Carryover allowance in determining
normal supply is increased from 10 to
Is per cent of domestic consumption
plus exports.
Date for proclaiming marketing quo
taS and allotmentS for wheat is changed
to May Is, from July Is. Wheat carry
over allowance is increased from Is to
20 per cent of domestic consumption
plus exports, in determining normal
supply.
A summer fallow provision in the law
will ease restrictions on some wheat
growers next year :. by providing in
creaseS in allotments in line with full
base acreage, up to $40 acres. Growers
with base larger than that will not be
allowed additional adjustment.
Dairy products are to be supported
in the present rs per cent to 80 per cent
parity range by methods now used Di-
rect payments are not to be made by
government, either to dairymen or
creameries.
Higher indemnities-up to $50 per
head-are provided for in authorization
for additional funds to fight brucellosis
in cattle.
