of sawdust. This is to retain
moisture and save cultivating.
The fertilizer is applied on top
of the mulch and the rains OF
watering carry it down to the
roots.
Additional nitrogen may be
needed to feed the bacteria that
work on the sawdust but this is
not lost. the bacteria eventually
return it to the soil and the
humus is thus that much richer

or early spring. A rough guide

Over Two Months to Plant
GladS can and should be
planted as early as April, and the
last planting can be made in
July. Some growers prefer the
late paintings since the flower
spikes that are cut in September
or early october have the deeper
colors and make the best show
ing. Those produced in July and
August when temperatures are
high tend to be less brilliant.

ably one that is high in phos-
phate. Some growers give their
glad beds a supplemental feed
ing of superphosphate at the
time of soil preparation. Others
add a cupful or two of the super
phosphate to the 5-1O-5 mixture
and thus make it richer in phos-
plate. Glads need two or three
feelings between planting time
and Towering for best results.
Much Moisture Is Needed
Water is needed in generous
amounts throughout the growing
season. If rains are infrequent
water should be given so thai

A second method is a crack

A third method, one that ap-
plies to the Washington area, is
to plant the cormels in the fall
and heavily mulch the bed, since
the cormelS cannot be planted
deeply-not over an inch in the
heavier soils, two inches in sandy
loans. The heavy mulch protects
them from freezing. Remove the
mulch in late March.
Dep Planting Adds Strength
Plant the corms deeply if you
would have the bloom spikes
remain upright when summer
rains and winds sweep across

The gladioluS has returned to
favor with the home gardener
and more and more of them are
growing this highly useful cut
flower.
A few years ago, many were
ready to forget the glad when
the thrips moved in. Thanks to
DOT that pest can be, and is,
easily controlled.
With the newer and finer va
rieties. it is small wonder that
We all look forward to the glad

doors.
Some will say the season is
so short but there are ways of
overcoming that. A small plant-
ing each week end will insure
a continuous supply from July
until frost. Or, you may make
a selection of varieties with diff
ferent periods of maturity and
plant them all at the same time.
In this way the Towering periods
will be spread over a consider
able period of time.
COrms and COrmels
In growing glads it is custo-
mary to buy medium sized
cormS which produce excellent
flower spikes but are less costly
than the very large ones. In
fact some growers with large
cofms cut them in half, much
the same way as potatoes are
cut for planting. In this way
the cormS produce two spikes
and the grower digs two cormS
for the next seasons Towering.
However in the interests OF
economy. some gardeners buy
the small cormels, those hard

If planted early in the spring,
they will oftentimes produce a

Mont Says Cold Weather

Tommy Mont made an honest

press luncheons yesterday. He

how come so many Of them are
from Pennsylvania"
did any Of you gentlemen
ever head of Thomas Green
Clemson?" Howard asked. HE
was the first Secretary of Agri-
culture, and this school was
named for him and founded by
order Of his will. He married the
daughter of John C. Calhoun,
but what's more important, he
was Pennsylvania.
"Ah think it's just natural that
the Pennsylvania boys on our
squad would want to follow him
here, and All understand most
of them are distant relatives"
Howard. of course, was show
ing of. These poor, unwanted
boys Of his are the dark-horSe
choices of at least two confer
ence coaches to appear in the
Orange Bowl January l, and
when informed of that, Howard
replied, "Ah hope we're not too
dark"
Clemson could get the nod this
year-the last one in which the
ACC will be stuck with an I'M
official champlon-because for a
season at least the Tigers sched-
ule Stacks of. Rice and Auburn,
two Of the three teams to beat
them last year, are missing. The
other team to beat them was
Maryland, 25-12, after the Tigers
led at the first quarter, 1910.
Duke and Maryland, the only
teams rated over Clemson in the
conference, are stuck with the
tougher schedules. Maryland and
Miami appear to be the major
hurdles for the Tigers.
About the loss to Maryland. it
was a case of one good team
meeting two good ones. Howard
said If you have to lose, that's
the best way, because then you
can tell the alumni you need
more football players. II you
blow a lead. the cagey coach
said, you don't have as many
excuses.
Clemson's line will be better
and deeper this year despite the
loss Of Wingo Avery, a fine CEN
ter. The centers will do a pretty
good job, and Howard will put
his first three ends against any
first three in the conference. The
tackle position is strong.
For the first time in four
years. Clemson will not put all
its eggs in one basket. Don King,
at times a brilliant quarterback,
was graduated. and there will
not be so much dependence on
one man. Charlie Bussey, Kings
understudy, probably is as good
an offensive quarterback. and
with him in good shape, Clemson
has no worries there.
The big name, of course, is
Joel Wells. He gained 827 yards
last year. scored seven touch
downs, caught a few passes.

Tommy is a firm believer in
the fact that a team can reach

a. m. After lecture at the Liberty
Bell and guided tour through the
buildings, they then visited Betsy
Ross House and Christ Church.
The children got a thrill out of sit
ting in the George Washington pew
in the church. They then went to
the Franklin Institutes for lunch,
lecture and demonstration in the
Planetarium, and a conducted tour
throughout the Institute. Despite
being leg-weary, their tour through
the Academy of Natural Sciences
proved to be an exciting adventure
Before leaving Philadelphia at 500
p. m, they made a quick visit to
the Cathedral of st. Peter and st.
Paul. On the way home they en-
jOyed a delicious supper at the
Howard Johnson Restaurant south
of Wilmington, and arrived back
in Milford at $50 p. m. Mrs. Gill
tenboth's group, on Friday, was de-
layed by the storm after supper,
but arrived safely in Milford
around midnight.
The Milford Elementary children,
over the years these trips have
been taken, have built up a reputa-
ton unmatched by any other school
group. Every place the children
visit they are congratulated upon
their manners, pleasantness, and
general good behavior
The groups who made the Phila-
deIphia trip are as follows: Mrs.
Bressler's group accompanied by
Mrs. Bressler and Mr.. Wilkerson;
Mrs. Blades group accompanied by
Mrs. Blades and Mrs. Hammond;
Mrs. Hickman's group accompanied
