fiscal year.
More than So million Of this
reduction resulted from a de-
crease in the previously esti-
mated amount that will have to
be paid next year to liquidate
costs Of the Capitol power plant
expansion.
The eventual total Of this
legislative appropriation bill will
be considerably higher than
$1,000 million because the Sem

own operating expenses.

On the Senate side, an iden-

Of the Senate Civil Service

The resolution would create

declare that it is a practical

They contend that under the

GARDEN CHORES
TO DO NOW IN
YOUR GARDEN

Complete the reseeding,
feeding and or lining Of
the lawn as soon as pos
sible.
Set out perennials for
the best spring display.
The daffodil bulbs should
go into the ground now.
If evergreens are to
be planted this fall it
should be done now, not
next month when the risk
of loss will be greatly in
creased.
HouSeplants should be
brought in from the gar
den and prepared for their
indoor duty.
It's about time for the
second DOT spray on the
trunks of the stone fruits
to control the peach tree
borer. Dig and store
the gladiolus corms as soon
as the foliage begins to
turn brown.
Keep the tall growing
dahlias, chrysanthemums
and hardy asters staked.
Put bonemeal in the
bottom of the bulb beds
where it will gradually be-
come available to the
growing plants. Defer
tulip planting until after
Thanksgiving.

Wuter Your Plants
During Fall Months

Dry weather can make II
necessary to water ornamental
trees and shrubs on the home
property to help them through
the winter months. Many
homeowners tend to neglect
the watering after the summer
months have passed and cooler
weather arrives, but plants
need sufficient moisture ever
during the winter season.
Where natural rainfall has
been sufficient this course Is
not necessary.
A good soaking with
sprinkler for four to six hours
once a week is sufficient. After
a long dry spell it takes days
Of rain before the soil contains
enough water.

Among these the cotoneasters
should rank high.
The cotoneasters are a size
able group Of deciduous and
evergreen berried fruits Of
varying habits Of growth. Some
such as the C. adpressa fit
into the small rock garden or
the low wall, while c. hori-
zontalis with its four feet or
more of thickness Is suited to
the larger rockgarden or even
to cover q bank. Then there
are the taller growing shrubs,
such as Diels and spreading
cotoneasters which might well
be used In place Of some Of
the forsythia as background
paintings. They will produce
shrubs of 6 to 8 feet in height.
Not only do the cotoneasters
provide attractive fruits in the
fall-both red and black. but
they are small leaved and thus
are useful as transitional
shrubs to tie together conifers
and broad-leaved shrubs in the
border. The flowers of the CO.
toneasters are too inconspicu-
Gus to note but the well
branched twiggy shrubs are
covered with foliage that might
well be described as high in
landscape value.
The cotoneasters are not too
demanding in soil and expo
sure. They do best in a soil
that is not too acid. and they
will grow in full sun or light
shade. They withstand prun-
ing so that they may be kept
within bounds without dificul-
ty. Spring planting is preferred

a healthy as we'll as modern
trend.
Garden living makes inside
rooms seem larger by giving
a garden view through the

1t adds extra living space to

Where shall I place my gar

who want to make this expan-

If the grounds are large
enough to allow the garden
living room at any side Of the
house, you place 1t where it
will be most convenient and
comfortable to live and enter

and fall.
Taken all together. garden

screen 1t from the street With
a hedge.
Beautiful trees and shrubs to
provide flowers from spring to
fall are required decorations.
It is not necessary to plant
right at the edge Of the garden

needed for privacy. In many
cases trees and shrubs can be
planted at various locations on
the property to provide a pleas

A bed or two Of annual

to fall planting, especially for
the evergreen sorts.
The cotoneasters are not
without their faults. Perhaps
the worst Is the squirrels who
like the berries and will harvest
them by cutting off the ends OF
branches which they carry to
a convenient place where they
may feast undisturbed. The
cotoneasters are susceptible to
tire-blight which may &C.
casionally blacken the new
growth. However, 1t is usually
controlled by pruning out the
infected parts before it spreads
too far. If the planting we're in
an area frequently attacked by
this disease 1t could be pre-
vented by spraying with an
antibiotic. However, the fire.
blight is not a frequent visitor
to the gardens of the Washing
