like irrigation and flood control.
5, Federal responsibility should
be limited to national defense,
regulation of interstate COM
merce and preservation Of the
national domain"
6. In exceptional cases loans
could be made on projects where
revenues would assure repayment
in period not to exceed 50 years
T.. The United States should
not assume responsibility for q
project that can be discharged
by a State or local government
or private enterprise.
| 8. ALI food control work now
being done by the soil conserva-
ition service OF the Agriculture
Department should be trans
Iferred to the Army engineers.
9. The present inter- r-agency
Water Resources Committee and
the water resources section of
the Bureau of the Budget should
be reconstructed as a water re-
sources board and a board of re-
view respectively.
Two Agencies Duties
Under the recommendations
these two agencies would have
ito pass on all water improve
ments, making recommended
tions to Congress only if the
projects met tight standards.
They would make periodic re-
ports to the President and to
Congress and would undertake
regular reviews of all backlogs
of authorized works.
On it's recommendations for a
users charge" on FederaIly
aided waterways. the Hoover
group will find support in a re-
port from the Presidents spe-
cial cabinet committee on water
resources. The two reports will
also advocate strongly the shar-
ing of costs on water projects,
with the formula depending on
the community's ability to pay,
the size of the community or
State and the scope of the prof.
ect.
The "user charge" proposal is
an outgrowth of a plan to charge
tolls on waterways built with
Federal funds. This plan, orig
Iinally part of the report by the
Presidents Committee on Trans
Iportation, was stricken after its
premature release aroused sub
Istantial opposition.
The first draft, favored strong
Ily by Secretary of Defense
Wilson, would have set the tolls
sufficiently high to repay the
Government for every penny it
had ever invested in water prof.
lects. This was later modified.
Informed sources said the
President wanted his water re-
sources committee report sub
Imitted before the Hoover Com
missions so he would have a
position from which to comment
Ion proposals by the independent
agency. This was the timetable
for the transportation sugges-
Itions.
But controversy has postponed
the Presidents committee prof.
Iect. At first it had been requested
for use in the State-of-the-
Union address.
More recently it was presented
ito the President, but he re-
Iportedly rejected it as too vague
lin defining policy and demanded
ia more positive statement. I'M
'dersecretary of the Interior
Clarence A. Davis was supposed

Here's how it goes:

to put 1t down below the level
Of the bulbs.
The Madonna lilies need and
demand perfect drainage. II
there Is any question about the
soil being well drained the lilly
bed" might well be raised a few
inches. Excess moisture is the
biggest problem in keeping the
bulbs healthy and vigorous.
The Madonna bulbs start
growing in September and be-
fore winter there will be a rosette
Of leaves showing. Mulching is
usually desirable but do not cover
the leaves.
For the Fall Garden
The fall vegetable garden
should not be neglected. Now is
the time to sow turnips. Chinese
cabbage and several other
greens. Soak the seed furrow
thoroughly before sowing the
seed. then mulch to prevent

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

Some gardeners have been for
tunate, scattered showers have
helped TO keep their gardens
from suffering in spite Of high
Temperatures. Others have been
forced to use water freely, trying
to save shrubs and flowers. It
has been difficult to do and, 1t
now seems probable, many trees
and shrubs will go into the
winter in a weakened condition.
1t is the drought injured tree
and shrub that is subject to
winter injury.
In watering it is important to
soak the ground deeply so that
the feeder roots will benefit. One
good soaking will last for a week
or more even under high tenn
peratures. Mulching helps to
conserve the moisture.
Augusta Plant Month
August is the beginning Of the
fall planting season. Bulbs.
broadleaved shrubs. evergreenS,
perennials, and after frost the
deciduous trees. roses, and shrub
paintings will keep the gardener
busy. This month We should
secure and plant the Madonna
lily. Oriental poppies. day lilies
and iris. If they are available

Compost Pile Pays Off
For Time and Enerdv

Choose a location in a back
corner Of the garden.
Figure on using an area about
4 by 6 feet, although the
size is not standardized. Just be
sure you can work to the middle
with no trouble.
AS a base, use a layer Of soil
or some upside down sod from q
new garden bed you have pre-
pared. If manure Is available
use a layer as you build up the
pile to about a 6-foot height
Then. using any quickly de-
caying material from the gar
den or the kitchen vegetable
debris, build up layer after layer
using a layer of soil between
layers of other compost material
Spread commercial fertilizer
such as 5-10-5 atop layers to
speed the decay.
If the soil you are using is
heavy. add some sand.
Keep the top center of the pile
in saucer shape to catch and
hold rainfall. Keep the pile
moist. Every few months, take
a fork and turn over the pile
working from the outside to the
center. Add some ground lime
stone, but do not put this atop
the manure layers, for it will re-
lease the ammonia in the ma
inure and cut down on its ferti-
liZing elements.
This process won't get you
compost tomorrow. Figure on
using the composted soil in a
year or so.

Conifers Can Be Kept Dense
By Terminal Growth Trim

ConiferouS evergreen trees
cannot be pruned and shaped
with the same methods used for
deciduous trees. The reason for
this is that coniferous or cone
bearing trees grow outward and
upward only at the terminals Of
the branches. If the terminal
growth is pruned off completely
conifers will not Sprout out again
lower down on the branch as will
most other types of trees.
To keep coniferous trees
shapely and beautiful, make
them grow more densely, the
secret is to shear of about one
half of the new terminal growth
New terminal growth can be
distinguished by its light green
color. BY doing this the distance
between the new branches will
be reduced by half, making the

may otherwise achieve.
The home owner easily can

the job. since he will have the
equipment for it. However, many
large, neglected coniferous ever
green's can be made more shapely
and denser by such treatment.
Coniferous evergreens should
be examined annually during
spring growth for evidence of
disease or insects. Most of these

Rush Those Seeds In
The end of the seed-sowine
season for perennials and BIZ
ennials is mid-AuguSt, so do not
put off getting the seeds into
