Agricultural Leaders Praise Theme
Of 18th National Farm Safety Week

Accidents are never cheap, and
safety does pay all ways" Secre-
tary of Agriculture Ezra Tift Ben
son said today in calling attention
TO National Farm Safety Week.
The u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and the National Safety Coun
Gil are co-sponsors of this nation
wide campaign.
Every year about $4,000 farm
people lose their lives in accidents,
and well over a million are injur-
ed. In addition, the economic loss
to the people Of the nation from
farm accidents is estimated by the
National Safety Council at 1900
600. That is why / say accidents
\ are never cheap, and that is why
I the theme, Safety Pays All Ways,
is so fitting.

safety rules and traffic laws. Lets

sad and costly tragedy of acct

Senator Allen J. Ellender, chair
man of the Senate Agriculture
Committee: ANY farmer can find
dozens of ways in which safety
pays. Among careful workers
there are fewer injuries and deaths
Safe practices mean less property
damage and less work time lost
too. You can have more content
ment, more leisure, and many
more useful years ahead for your
farm and your fapily if yeu keep
safety in mind"
Representative Clifford Hope

on Agriculture: CAS- a farmer yoU

that from which the bloom was
taken.
Most show schedules specify
classes for flowers that have not
been disbudded. 1t is assumed,
where it is not specified. that
roses, dahlias and similar show
flowers are to be disbudded. For
naturally grown (not disbudded)
flowers there are usually specially
marked classes.
Getting flowers to the right
stage is often a problem-one
which may take experience to
overcome. However, if the buds
are not opening fast enough
cut them and put them indoors
in warm water in a warm situa-
ton. If buds are opening so fast
as to be past their prime by show
time, put them into a refrigerator
to delay their opening. II put in
a refrigerator, it is usually wise
to wrap the bloom with soft yarn
to protect the petals. One of the
plastic wraps might be used in
place Of the yarn.
Some Open Better Inside
Some flowers open better in
doors than out. Peonies should
be cut in the bud and allowed
to open indoors, safe from rain
and wind. The colors are much
better. PoppieS should be cut
in the bud and the stems burned
in a flame or scalded in hot water
for 2 or 3 minutes to check the
sap which will seal the pores
and prevent absorption of water.
Carry the flowers to the show
in containers that will protect
them from bruising, also from
the gust of wind that can easily
rip a petal and ruin the bloom.
Some use the large, long florists
boxes, placing a collar of tissue
paper under each flower to pro-
tect the petals. Others use large
cans with some device, such as
chicken wire. to hold the stems
in place. The choice is unimpor-
tant so long as it protects the
bloom and foliage from injury.
Iris are particularly hard to
handle since the petals are so
fragile. Many expert growers
will not display unless they can
enter their bloom the night be-
fore-before they begin to spread.

in hills" refers to spacing and
not to elevation. Actually, it is
common garden practice to work
the soil deeply for such crops
Ias cucumbers, melons. ETC., and,
of course, the prepared area be-
fore settling is a bit above the
level of the ground around. When
settling is completed, the hill"
will not be higher.
PLANT in drills" refers to
opening a furrow and sowing the
seed closely together. The drill
refers rather to an open furrow
such as most of us make in SOW
ing any vegetable seed except
the vine crops.
Keep Blossoms Picked
Keep the spent blossoms picked
from the panzy plants If you
would have them continue free
! Towering for several more weeks
GladiOlus COrms
1t is time to make the second
planting of gladiolus corms.
Paintings every two weeks are
desirable If you would have this
splendid cut flower available
throughout the summer. Cover
the corms with about two inches
of soil at time of planting in a
furrow at least four inches deep.
Fill in as the Shoots" grow.
When to Plant Beans
Because the soil has been cold
no mention of bean planting
has been made. If the soil should
warm up, planting should be
started, however. Because the
season is late, it may be desirable
to make a small planting for the
first crop. The soil is still too cold
for the really hot season crops.
spray 10 CurD Apnl0S
The aphids, tiny green sucking
insects. are beginning to appear
in many gardens. They may be
controlled by spraying with nico-
tine sulphate, malathion, or any
of the many other materials
suitable for the purpose. How
ever, rather than wait until you
can purchase such materials. use
the garden hose. A strong blast
of cold water will usually keep
them under control.
Spring FlOwering Bulbs
Protect the foliage of the early
spring Towering bulbs until it
has begun to turn brown. To
remove this foliage before ma
turity is to jeopardize next
springs bloom. Mark those
clumps which are in need OF
digging and resetting-much
foliage and few blooms. They
should be dug after the foliage
is mature.
Roses Can Be Sprayed
1t is not too early to start
the spraying of roses to protect
them from disease and insect
pests. Use an all-purpose mixture
to save the bother of mixing
your own. There are a number
of good ones to chose from.

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN


On cool nights it is wise to
cover the coldframe where ten
der summer Towering ANIMALS
are being hardened. We have
had killing frosts in the Wash
ington area within the past few
days and there is always the
chance Of another. This also
applies to the mulch for the
strawberry bed. Keep 1t handy,
just in case.
And. in the same vein, do not
be in too big a hurry to put out
tomato plants, or other tender
plants. The soil is still cold and
they would only stand still-if
not be stunted. Warm weather
crops and flowers should not be
planted until the soil is warm
or some device is used, such as
the paper caps to protect from
chilling winds.
Fertilizer Mixture
A balanced fertilizer may be
used to feed all plants. You do
not need different mixtures for
different plants. BY adding a
small quantity Of sulphur the
acid-loving plants will be prop
erly fed. The recommended fer
tilizer mixture for this area is
the 5-l0-5.
Rooted Cuttings Inside
For so long as the nights con-
tinue cold keep the house plants
and the rooted cuttings inside.
They will grow much faster and
with less chance of setback
II they are kept inside until the
weather is more nearly normal.
Use a sharp Hoe
Use the hoe to cut on weeds
and break the soil crust. 1t is
no longer considered good prac-
tice to stir the soil deeply near
growing plants. Use a sharp hoe
and save your back.
Liquified Fertilizer
A starter solution. made by
disSolving 3 level tablespoonful
Of 5-10-5 in a 12-quart bucket Of
water, can be used to good adj
vantage when setting out trees
or shrubs or when transplanting
vegetables or flowers. Or, you
may use one of the specially
prepared materials for this pur-
pose. They are more completely
soluble.
New Mint Flowers
In many catalogues, a flower
known as Bells of Ireland, or
Shell Flower is listed for the
first time. Because it is especially
useful in dried arrangements. it
has become very popular. 1t be-
longs to the mint family Mo-
lucca balm has no special soil
requirement. 1t may be cured
for winter bouquets by first
stripping off the leaves and then
hanging it in a cool place to dry.
Time to Move These
This is the time of year to
move Towering dogwoods, mag
nolias, birches. tulip trees.
Towering cherries and azaleas-
just as the new leaves begin to
unfurl. They are further along
than this in the city, but in the
suburbs they are just past the
ideal stage. However. if done
without delay. it is not too late.
Use plenty of leafmold. compost
or peatmoss in the planting hole,
and avoid planting too deeply.
They are all shallow rooted.
Mulch the root area deeply with
leafmold or some other similar
material.
