BY GEORGE Z. CREED
special writer for The star

Back in the twenties rock
gardens were the rage. Since
then their popularity has sub
sided and only the more serious
gardeners continue to plant
them. Many Of the former rock
gardens were created by people
who hadn't the slightest notion
of what they were doing. The
monStrosities we're no more
than collections of unrelated
rocks freely interplanted with
miscellaneous greenery. Their
creators ignored the fact that
rock gardens, in order to look
pleasing, should also look nat
ural.
If you have on your property
some rock outcroppings or
boulders placed there by ma
ture you have a very fine basis
for a good rock garden. If you
don't have these natural ad-
vantages but you do have q
slope-even q small one, some
stones, a strong back and de-
termination, you can make q
good rock garden. If you have
nothing but fiat land, stick to
the more conventional form of
Identification.
1t is almost impossible to de-
scribe how to make a rock gar
den, but there are some guides
which will enable you to avoid
mistakes.
In nature, aggregations of
stones in one place usually
have some sort Of relationship
to one another. Usually they
are, Of one type such as sand
stone, limestone, granite, etc.
Their forms, too, are similar.
Thus, as in the exposed ledge
illustrated here, the stone is
broken and weathered into
more or less horizontal planes.

Musiciuns Vote
PetriIIo q Final
Convention Win

PHILADELPHIA. June 8 (R.
The American Federation of
Musicians has approved q reso-
luton calling for biennial con-
ventions after 1859, thus giving
James Petrillo his final victory
before retiring after IS years
as president of the union.
Mr.. Petrillo, shortly before
he retired at the AIMS 61st
annual convention here yester-
day, told the 1900 delegates
that growing expenses had
built growing deficits and added
that the biennial convention
would save the union $500, 900.
"And wo won't have to raise
dues which I'm against" he
added.
After two-and-a-half hours
Of haggling. the delegates APP
proved the resolution and Mr..
Petrillo wept.
"You listened. You don't
think Pm a bum," he said.
Earlier the 66-year-old ex-
trumpeter who remains as presi-
dent of the federation's Chi
cago local, prevailed upon the
delegates to remove some Of the
presidents powers.
Mr.. Petrillo's successor, Her
man D. Kenin, Portland, Greg,
lawyer and violinist, introduced
the resolution to strip from the
president the right to set aside
the unions constitution. 1t
passed unanimously. Then Mr..
Petrillo beamed and said, Nov
I'm no more dictator"

Must Look Natural

other aggregations Of stone
are rounded in form. So it is
important in initiating nature
to select stones Of the same
general character. Above all,
don't use pieces Of broken con-
crete. This was a common
practice thirty years ago.
Study carefully how you
want your stones placed
before digging holes for them.
When you have arrived at a
satisfactory arrangement, en-
bed them firmly so that they
win not wobble when you step
on them. BY arranging the
soil, attempt TO make them
look as though they had been
there a long time.
Most alpine plants will not
stand poor drainage, so make
certain that drainage is good.
Only a few of the common
plants used in rock gardens
are shown on the accompany
ing plan. There are many
others than can be used in a
rock garden but avoid those
which grow too rampantly.
Your nurseryman can advise
you as to many of the more
desirable ones.

including the ants, and 1t has
not shown any tendency to
inhibit the growth Of plants.
1t is much easier to protect our
lawns from the Japanese beetle
grubs than it is to trap and
spray or to dust our plants to
keep them from being de-
voured by the adult beetles.
The grub-prooflng Of lawns
and pastures should be done in
the early spring or in the fall
since the grubs are present at
that time and there is con-
siderable likelihood of the
milky spore disease coming in
contact with a grub.
Effective Long Time
The chlordane will remain
effective in the soil for from
three to five years and it may
be applied as a dust or as q
spray. Eight ounces of actual
chlordane are needed per 1000
square feet to control the grubs
which is at least IS per cent
less than the amount needed
to prevent crabgrass seed from
terminating and to 'inhibit the
growth Of broomsedge.
The milky spore disease
spreads rather slowly through
the soil and 1t will take from
three to five years before it
reaches maximum efficiency.
once thoroughly dispersed
through the soil it gives per-
manent protection against the
Japanese beetles.
But there is the spring and
fall angle of the Japanese bee
tie problem. The question is
what to do today to protect our
flowers and foliage? We can
place traps around the garden
to get the beetles as they fly.
Traps are relatively effective,
attracting the beetles from
some distance. However, do
not place the traps in the rose
garden but rather at the other
end of the garden. Use fresh
bait and remove the beetles
daily so that none will escape.
DOT and MethOxychlOr
The second step in protect
ing the foliage is to spray with
DOT or Methoxychlor every
two or three weeks those
shrubs most likely to be at
tackled. Fruit trees are a
favorite food, as are roses and
sweet corn. One good spray
ing would last two or three
weeks since the DOT is not
soluble in water and needs only
to contact the beetles to kill
them.
The spraying will not protect
the rose blooms, however, be-
cause the beetles will force
their way down into the
partially opened buds and not
come into contact with the
spray on the foliage. It is
strange how they will go for
a yellow, white or pink rose
and pass up the dark reds. But
that is the way it happens. The
gardner who wishes to protect
his roses in the garden should
direct a blast from the buster
into the center Of each rose as
it begins to open. For indoor
use, the roses can be cut in
moderately tight buds and
placed in a deep container
filed with cold water where
they will open slowly and be
unchanged by the beetles.
Fruit Trees, Corn
The fruit trees should be
sprayed regularly to protect
both the foliage and the fruit
from the beetles. DOT is the
least expensive of the pesti-
cides for the control of the
beetle and as indicated is the
most long-laSting in effect.

Now is the time to fertilize
the lawn. 1t has been excellent
growing weather for lawns,
cool with not too infrequent
rains, but there will be hot
summer days and nights ahead
probably some dry spells. So
prepare for such weather by
applying 20 to rs pounds of
an an-purpose fertilizer per
1000 square feet Of lawn.
Things 10 Be Planted
1t is not too late to plant
chrysanthemums, tuberous be-
gonias, glads, dahlias, cannas,
Isomene lilies, and caladiums.
1t is not q bad idea to SOW
some seeds Of ANIMALS for late
summer and early fall bloom
ing. The summer beds begin to
look tired in August. Some
young plants beginning to
bloom will add zest to the
garden.
Control Aphids, Thrips
There are plenty of aphids
and thrips about. Malathion is
one Of the best materials for
control Of them. For real effec-
tiveness, three applications
will be needed at weekly inter-
walls.
Keep Roses at Peak
1t seems that roses have
never been lovelier. The colors
are so clear and vivid. Be sys-
tematic in busting and spray
ing. This is indeed the month
Of roses, but June brings with
it the necessity Of care along
with the bloom. So spray or
dust, fertilize, water, mulch and
cut the lovely buds before the
Jap beetles spoil them.
Keep DogwOOd Roots Cool
Mulch the dogwoods. They
very much appreciate a cool
root run.
Correct AzaIea Damage
After the storm damage of

need some pruning. Do not
delay for new buds will soon

ton, but plenty Of mulch and

Mexican Riots
Believed Over

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 20.
(AP) .-Rebellious oil workers
who teamed with students in
rioting yesterday worked out
= compromise Of their inter-
union dispute today. The stu
dents staged another demon
stration. this time a peaceful
parade through downtown
Mexico City.
There was hope that the
week-long wave Of riots and
strikes might be over. One man
was killed and SO injured yes
terday.
Police stayed in the back
ground today, but the students
had to march by two red pump
trucks with firemen standing
by ready to play hoses on the
crowd at the first sign of
trouble.
First estimates Of the crowd
ran from 10000 to 50,000-well
below the student leaders pre-
diction of 100000.
The students. who began
their protests a week ago over
a threatened bus fare increase
of less than one cent, carried
signs calling for the govern
ment to take over the bus lines
and pull its troops out of the
university area, where the stu
dents are still holding many Of
the buses they stole during last
week ends riots.
However, the present status
of the students demands APP
peared confused. Student lead
ers repeatedly watered down
their demands during an early
meeting. They were
said to have agreed to have a
commission merely study the
bus fares, the question of gov
ern m mt appropriation and
higher wages for drivers.
