DELICATE REBUKE

Mr.. Webster wrote, after con-
tinued provocation, to the editor
of newspaper which had been
referring to his private affairs
and especially to his not paying
his debts. He said:
1T is true that 1 have not al
ways paid my debts punctually,
and that owe money. One cause
of this is that l have not pressed
those who owe me for payment.
AS an instance of this l enclose
your fathers note, made to me
30 years ago, for money 1 lent
him to educate his boys"

Blackberries we're omitted
from the above because they are
so difficult to control on the
smaller property land besides
most folks pick all they want
along the roadsideSJ. Sweet
Cherries were omitted as indi-
Gated earlier because they seem
to be rather temperamental, al
though there are a number OF
mature trees in the area. Like
plums, it is rather difficult to
control brown rot in sweet cher
ries. This destructive disease
also attacks peaches and in some
seasons is most difficult to con-
troll.
Sour cherries do not have too
many insect or disease problems
but many gardeners find that the
birds do most of the fruit har-
vesting. That also applies to
blueberries, although 1t Is easier
to cover BURBERRY bushes with a
cheesecloth net than a cherry
tree. Even the grapes must be
bagged to protect them from the
bees and wasps if you would pro-
duce the large luscious punches
that are pictured in the caralogs.
That is not too much Of q -ob
If you have only a few vines.
In planting fruits it is i'm
portant that they be planted at
the same depth as they grew in
the nursery as shown by the soil
line on the trunk. The smaller
sizes transplant much more
safely than the larger ones. and
in many cases will catch UP or
outstrip them in growth.
1t is best to buy from reputable
nurseries. Avoid the so-called
bargains and get disease-free
plants. This is most important
in buying strawberries. Plant
only those that are certified
virus-free.

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
History Confirms Red Barn Story
BY JAMES BIRCHFIELD

J. M. Anderson writes to tell
me that I have confirmation
in the history books on High
land County, Va. for my story
of the barn that divides the
waters of the Potomac and the
James Rivers. But. he adds, ]
am mistaken in saying that
Northern Virginia Is a more
beautiful country than High
land.
Mr.. Anderson quotes from
Morton's History:
AT Hightown is q red-roofed
barn, the rainwater from which
feeds both the Potomac and the
James. Nearby is q spring which
is the fountainhead of the South
Branch Of the Potomac.
In coursing down the Crab
bottom the brook rapidly gains
volume, especially from Spring
Run and Winner Run. At
Crabbottom Village. 8 miles from
Hightown, the South Branch
enters Crabbottom Gap as q
large and rapid millstream."
Somehow I am glad to learn
that the history books refer to
the red barn and that the story ]
have heard so often is recorded
for all to see.
1t gives me q good feeling to
know that the beginnings Of
the mighty Potomac come from
so common and everyday a thing
as a red barn.
On the other count. I am moi
prepared to dispute the relative
beauties of Northern Virgins
and Highland County. But
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-08-28

since I am the product Of a
mountain area, I am willing to
agree with Mr.. Anderson that
good mountain country is hard
to beat.
Some day I hope to take the
ride Mr.. Anderson suggested
a leisurely drive east to west on
Route $50. This. he says. is only
10 miles from the crest Of the
Shenandoah to the crest Of the
Alleghanies.
And this ride. he says, will
settle. once and for all. the
question Of which Ia the more
beautiful country - Northern
Virginia or Highland County.
III let him know what I think
when ! have travelled that road.

nF THE 80 cars which comprise the NAM
" moth circus train of Ringing Bros.
and Barnum and Bailey, the liveliest is
known simply as ''the 37l." You've guessed
it - it's the circus girls car.
Carrying all 20 of the dancers, aerialists,
showgirls and artists of the Big Show, the
37l is more than railroad car; it's way
of life. Most Of its 7O-foot length is lined
with upper and lower berths. Packed into
one end are pantry, kitchen and parlor.
The kitchen is presided over by Mrs. Agnes
Stewart, the car nlolllel, VINO mas been in
charge of this domain for six years. Next
to the kitchen is the dining-living room.
It's the dining room at meal times, when
the girls eat in relays of skies. It's the living
room between meals, with nightly penny
ante poker game that continues throughout
the entire run of the show. It's also the
utility room, for sewing, mending, ironing,
etc. It's rarely empty.
Houas: WallPapered Bank
WHEN circus girl says, I'm going
home" she is referring to this circum-
scribed area plus her bunk. The berth itself
is the only place she can exercise any home
making originality, and she does - even to
the point of putting up her own individual
wallpaper.
Some Of the girls have pets. Rose HanIon

Evening star., 1955-06-12

Trixie, dancer Kay Burslem has Pekinese
named Cherie and there is a constantly
shifting assortment of everything from
parakeets to pigs.
There is rule that no animals can travel
with the show unless they work in an act.
Consequently, it just happens that one of
the clowns needs, say, parakeet for his
walk-around, Cherie is important to GER
tain act somehow and Rose Hanlon needs
fox terrier for her own act.
Girl with Seven Name:
NICKNAMEs are so prevalent among the
Big Show girls that one of the dancers,
Yvette, is extraordinary - she's called
Yvette! Many of the names are bestowed
by Richard Barstow, who stages the Great
est Show, the rest by the girls themselves
Samples: Hamburger Mary, "FourEyes,'
mrs. Man Mountain Dean" Gor the tiniest
of the dancers), ''Smacks,' Little White
Cloud" miss Horse" (equestrienne Mar

Annette Robbins, an aerialist, set the

What DO YOU
Think?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

All need this week is sympathy.
There simply isn't anything going
on over at the Capitol.
1t is, of course, difficult to get
used to the quiet after the activity
and excitement of the legislative ses-
sion.
People are still asking when the
Governor is going to call the special
session. They asked that after the
last legislature, though, and none
was called
Governor Aronson and Arnold Oh
sen are rocking the Capitol Dome
with blasts over the United States
Supreme Court decision saying the
1853 oil leasing law does not con-
flict with the federal law
The victory in the highest court
in the land really set the spurs to
the Galloping Swede and he has been
making time with it.
It is surprising to note the tenor
of his releases. They have conferred
more as an attack on Olsen than the
oil leasing.
The only reason for making the
attacks personal coming to mind inn
mediately is for political reasons, be-
cause the question of whether the
school children and the taxpayers
will benefit by the enforcement of
the 1853 law is certainly debatable.
From political standpoint, to the
causal observer, this could be an
opening gun for the 1856 campaign.
Olsen is the only man in the lime
light now who makes noises like a
contender for the Governors job.
/ don't think there is any doubt
that Aronson will run again.
Olsen's friends do more talking
about what he should do than you
can get out of him.
Whatever the pros and cons of the
oil leasing business, the oil companies
are going to benefit if the 1853 law
stands up, and if they get more the
schools should stand to get less, and
if school revenue has been delayed
because of the suit the question seems
to be whether we should allow the
state to be bludgeoned into accept
ing these things, right or wrong, just
because of the gain of the moment,
without a thought for the future.

Elevator B was owned by the city
of Galveston. 1t was managed by the
father of Governor Shivers' close
friend.
Thornton made no apology for
cheating the government. On the
other hand he complained that gov
eminent inspection was too strict.
Thornton testified" continued the
Senate committee, chat elevator B
had too much federal inspection and
disclosed that he had pleaded with
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
over period of time for less super
vision at elevator B, and more inspec-
ton at other elevators.
"Other testimony convinced the
subcommittee, reported the senator's,
chat there had been a woeful lack
of inspection at elevator B."
The senators went on to expose in
great detail how the Bunge Corpora
ton had shipped frost-damaged wheat
into the u. s. A. from Canada, pay
ing 13 cents less than the usual duty
because it was unfit for human con-
sumption"
This damaged wheat was then sent
to elevator B at Galveston, where
the Bunge people knew their friend,
E. H. Thornton, Sr., would mix it
with good quality commodity credit
wheat owned by the U. S. taxpayers.
This mixed wheat was then sold as
flour fit for human consumption,
after which the Bunge Corporation
collected a subsidy from the U. S.
under the international
wheat agreement.
