of the Fund for the Republic
said last night its directors are
entitled to small outburst OF

of "hysterical misrepresenta-

The fund. DR.. Hutchins said. is
committed to defend and adj
vance the principles Of the Dec
laration of independence, the
Constitution and the Bin OF
Rights
For these activities the fund
has been accused by a few indi-
viduals and groups whose vocifer-
business exceeds their influence
and intelligence. of everything
from ignorance to treason
Can it be that we are afraid
TO face the facts about how
freedom and justice are faring
In this country?"
DR.. Hutchins spoke in a pre-
pared address to a dinner in
his honor. given by the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress.
Associate Supreme Court JUS

chairman Of the dinner but did
not attend. said in a message
Dr.. Hutchins has done as much
as anyone in public life to
keep alive the true spirit Of our
Bill Of Rights and to help create

lea"
DR.. Hutchins said, IF there
had ever been any doubt that
the Fund for the Republic was
needed, it would be removed BY

GARDENS
Gardeners Learn VoIue
Of Mulch in D. c. Area

and replace a mulch is too much
for the gardener, 1t would seem
preferable to leave the old mulch
in place and not worry about the
tardy bloom.
The depth to apply a mulch
is generally regulated to that
necessary to control weeds. How
ever. If we are to take full adj
vantage of the cooling effect, it
might be better to put on a
deeper mulch than is necessary
to suppress the weeds. This will
vary with the different kinds of
mulching materials. An inch
layer Of peatmoss is likely to be
just as effective as a 4-inch layer
of straw, or pinch layer Of
sawdust.
One problem that concerns the
mulch user is the tendency Of
some materials to crust. This
is noticeable with the sawdust
and ground corncob mulches. OF
course, the older they are the
less tendency there is for them
to form a crust in hot weather.
Light. fluffy materials make a
good mulch but there is the
danger of their blowing away or
washing away. Buckwheat hulls
and peatmoss should be thor
oughly wet before application to
avoid this.
Must Let Fertilizers In
Nearly all mulching materials
permit fertilizer to be applied to
the surface and carried down to
the plant roots by rain or water
ing.
Those that need extra nitrogen
by reason of bacteria action may
be taken care of either by apply
ing more of the general fertilizer
or by using sulphate Of ammonia
or nitrate of soda.
There are formulas which tell
the amount needed but as a gen.
eral rule give a generous APP
plication at the start and sup
Elemental applications whenever
the foliage of the plants is less
than the rich green normal to a
well-fed plant of that kind or
variety.
This feeding is not an extra
cost of mulching but rather an
