GARDENS
Beauty Break Through
Afforded by Londscoping

Proper handspring offers a
"break-through TO beauty" for
millions of plain and more or
less externally uninteresting
homes. Not only beauty is af-
jforded but more healthful and
more gracious living for the fam
lily. plus increased property value
Tire purpose Of landscaping is
to blend the house into the sur
roundings, making it more pleas
ing to the human eye. and to
afford extension Of the living
quarters from indoors to outdoors
by means of an outdoor living
room, lovely garden, roses, fruits,
berries and various other plants
that make living more gracious.
In the foundation planting,
there are three main locations
| for plants, at the corners of the
house, at the entrance, as well
as in the intervening connecting
spaces.
In contemporary housing, en-
trance paintings require slow
growing, campact shrubs. which,
at maturity. do not reach more
than a few feet in height. Cor
ner paintings consist of larger
shrubs, or low growing trees.
The connecting units are the
areas in between the corners
and the entrance. Usually they
are low-growing shrubs that do
not, at maturity, reach above
the bottom Of ground floor win
dows. Often low, spreading conf
ferrous. or Towering broadleaf
evergreens are used for the pur-
pose. Much depends on personal
preference in the matter of
plants. since Towering shrubs
and roses often are used in

foundation paintings. Do not
plant the shrubs in a straight
line along the base of the house.
Curved lines. with groupings of
plants at the corners are pre-
ferred. And pay particular at
tention to the height of the
foundation plants. When the
plants are varied. you do not
want a repetition of high and
low plants but smooth-fiowing
lines, higher plants at the COR
ners. lower plants in between.
For taller houses. higher-grow-
ing plants may be used, but for
ranch houses lower growing
plants are desirable when they
are close to the house.
With the outdoor living room
or patio you can really indulge
your love Of Towering plants.
Principally you want a room that
is open in the center and sur
rounded by colorful plant life
that will be beautiful all year
long. Principally you will seek
privacy for family dining, enter
tanning or just relaxation and
sun-bathing and this can be &C.
complished even on small proper
ties by use of plant screens. Con-
sultation with q nurSeryman is
advised for the plants which are
preferred for screening In an
area. But don't be without roses
and perennials. for both beauty
and cut flowers. as well as others
shrubs and trees to supply inter-
esting bloom from the beginning
to the end Of the growing season.

Veterinary
Cooperation Checks
Anthrax Outbreak
Veteri1arv
By STUART YOUNG, D.V.M.

pOl1IS III GlWll5- NOANCloc oclLlOA any
where in the world, and here in Mon |
tana lots of folks have never heard of |
it. A history book on animal disease
in this area would make only passing
reference to the disease and we have
been lucky indeed to have had so few
contacts with it.
Appeared in Montana
A few weeks ago anthrax appeared
in Richland county, Montana 1t killed
some cattle on one ranch, then moved
downstream to affect three other
ranches. In the space of less than
month, it accounted for at least 16
cattle deaths
By this time the local practicing
veterinarian had been called in and,
after close examination, he sus-
pected anthrax. He rushed off samples
to the diagnostic laboratory of the
Livestock Sanitary Board, where de-
tailed microscopic studies confirmed
his suspicious.
The State Veterinarians office went
into immediate action and alerted
deputy veterinarians in the area con-
cerned. Supplies of vaccine were
speedily obtained and the endangered
cattle herds, sheep and horses neigh
boring the outbreak and downstream
from it were rounded up and given
protective shots.
Quarantine Imposed
Infected and exposed ranches were
| placed under quarantine in order to
! control the situation while all dead
cows were burned where they had died.
Contaminated equipment that could
not be properly disinfected was burned
with the dead carcasses. All other
buildings. fences, tools, ETC. were
thoroughly treated with reliable disin-
fectants.
Throughout these procedures all per-
sonnel took rigid precautions against
spreading the infection from ranch to
ranch on their own clothing, boots,
automobiles and instruments. AS a re-
suit of these speedy and efficient
efforts, the situation seems now to be
well in hand and no further outbreaks
have occurred.
Possible Cause
Where did the disease come from
and why are these dramatic measures
needed? 1t seems probable that the in
fection arose from the buried carcasses
of animals that died from anthrax in
this area way back in 1918. Yes, it
seems unbelievable that a germ can
live for 40 years and then cause this
sort of trouble. But the germ of anthrax
finds that sort of survival pretty easy.
That is one of the reasons for the seri-
Gus concern that anthrax gives to
veterinarians.
And not only cattle are affected
the disease can kill almost any species
of animal, even down to frogs and
toads. The infectious agent, in its re-
sistant Spore form, can be carried from
place to place by dogs and coyotes,
flown about by buzzards, or dug up by
earthworms.
Public Health Problem
Knowing the ease with which this in
fection can be spread, and recognizing
its Importance to the livestock industry
and to public health, we can congratu-
late our oracticing and state veterin-
arians who have been responsible for
speedily recognizing and controlling

President is unable to carry on

confusion over what might hap

But he made clear that he
considered this just a "sugges-

that he has no official function

Cites Two Key Programs
In defending his budget
against congressional demands
for drastic cuts the President
singled out especially his school
building and foreign aid pro-
grams.
He described his budget esti-
mate of S4.4 billion for foreign
aid as the minimum size and
scope of a program this country

four-year program. And he said
developing insurance plans and
his hope that States would pick
up a legitimate share of relief
costs should cut down on Fed
eral expenditures for aid to areas
stricken by major disasters.
Another reason for possible
reduction of Federal expendi-
lures in coming years, the Pres
ident said. is hope for some re-
lief--"if not a break through
in world tensions now demand
ing big defense costs.
Explaining why he chose the
cabinet as the body to decide or
cases of presidential disability
in the administrators proposed
constitutional amendment, Mr.
Eisenhower said all studies or
the subject had run into the
fact that only the President anC
Vice President were elected by
all the people. He added that il

Therefore, he said, the ides
arose that a majority of the cab

and presumably friendly 70 him
should be given the responsible
ity. He added that he assumed
any such question would always
be dealt with by honest people.
He made clear that he was
thinking Of action by the Vice
President, backed by a cabinet
majority vote. to take over the
presidency only in case OF a
stroke or something of the sort
making a President unable to
say whether he was able to carry
on his duties. There might be
other occasions when a Presi-
dent going into a hospital. for
example, would know that he

that some savings cannot be
found In present appropriations
For example, he said the Defense
Department has found it can
reduce needed appropriations
somewhat by cutting down on
Icarry-over funds. But he empha-
sized that this would mean a
saving just for one year and not
Ia change in the program.
Ir. Eisenhower told a ques-
toner that by no means" would
he concede that his bill provid-
ing special Federal aid to the
States for four years in building
schools should be counted a cas-
ualty of the congressional econ
omy drive.
While he feels in general that
the Federal government has nc
proper role in the operation and
maintenance of the school sys-
TEN, he said special circum-
stances now make it necessary
for the Government to help get
needed school rooms built.
He asserted that the Nation
would suffer unless more schools
are built quickly because free
government demands educated
,citiZenS.
But he also stressed that after
the four-year aid program he has
recommended is finished, the
Federal Government should turn
THE problem back to the States
and have nothing more to dc
with it.
| A reporter told the President
that Secretary of Labor Mitchell
had praised Democratic House
member for defense of the Labor
Department budget but appar-
emily could not find any Repub-
'licans to praise similarly and
asked If he planned any special
efforts to try to win G. o. P.

budget.

In saying. however. that the
country ought to be able to have
some tax reduction within the
next four years. the President
pointed out that some current
spending programs should taper
