Since the eventual costs OF

repeal the rider In future

But the fact remains that the
rider will make II more difhcult
to obtain further liberalization
for the time being,
The House had adopted the
rider and insisted that 1t be
retained. Senate conferees
who had refused to yield to the
House in conference finally
recommended yesterday that
the Senate yield on the issue.
The vote 70 yield 10 the House

The House NSnferees led by
Representative Thomas. Demo-

that future liberalization would
increase the deficit that much

The rider also provides s58s

Vetch Paintings
Protect Slopes

Several paintings Of Penn
gift crown vetch in the area are
interesting for two reasons.
Much of it is in bloom now.
The best reason for including
the vetch is that it reduces
slope maintenance to near zero.
The sites include:
/. Five miles north of the
East Riverdale entrance along
the Washington Baltimore
parkway. Two miles north Of
the College Park-Greenbelt en-
trance on both sides Of the
parkway and just of the Sec
ondary road that leads to the
USDA Plant observatory Nurs-
cry.
2. Riggs road on the east
side of the Bro underpaSs
near South Dakota avenue.
8. Either side Of the bridge
that crosses Paint Branch
creek on the grounds Of the
Plant Industry Station, Belts
vile, Md.
4. On River road a few miles
north of Potomac at the home
Of w. j. Pelton. This is Just
across the road from the Paul
Pearson farm. The vetch
borders the north side of the
drive leading into the house
and is partially behind a rail
fence.

Care of Begonios

Tuberous begonias like to be
moist and cool. A mist spray
is highly beneficial during the
hot, dry summer months. These
plants have shallow roots and
for that reason must not be
allowed to dry. On the other
hand, water-logged condition
will cause rotting of the roots
and stem.
Tubers can easily be saved
from year to year. Just as
other tender bulbs, Tuberous
begonias need a rest period over
the winter. In most areas, tu-
bers are taken out with a dig
ging fork after the first kill
ing frost. They are washed
and allowed to cure in the sun
for two or three weeks. When
thoroughly dry, the stem can
be pulled out easily. Store in
a cool semimoist place over
the winter.

Use Sharp Tools
ToGuther Blooms

Best time to cut flowers for
inside use is first thing in the
morning. Use a sharp cutting
tool, so that the stem is severed
clearly from the plant-not
crushed off-and then plunged
into air temperature water and
stored for several hours in a
cool, dark place--a cellar is
good-to recover from the
shock of cutting. They will last
longer if so treated. Stems OF
such materials as peoples
should be plunged briefly in
boiling water to seal the end
Of the stems lest they. unlike
other plants, bleed to death.

Sofety Rules
For Mower
Operation

Power mower safety begins
with starting the machine and
lasts throughout its operation
until stored again:
/. Start safely. Stand firmly.
Make sure your feet are in a
safe place.
2. Keep up with your mower
fcr perfect control. If you lag
behind or let it pull you, you
won't be in command. Don't
run.
3. Learn how to disengage
the clutch or stop the motor
quickly in case of any emer-
gency. Stop the motor when
ever you leave the mower.
4. Don't let little tots or pets
play around the mower.
S. Always be sure of footing

Pick Fuded Heads

Animals and perennials con-
tinue blooming for a longer
period if they are not permitted
to make seed. Therefore pick
ing of fading flower heads is
an important garden chore al
this time of the year. However.
the later blooms are not likely
to be as big, dramatic or at
tractive as the first blooms
and if you are interested in
collecting seed, it is wise to
pick the best blooms rather
than the later ones for this
purpose.
