The editor of the Delta Democrat Tim
es With all his Pulitzer Prize winning
fury has insulted the intelligence and
challenged the integrity of the Peo-
pie Of Holmes County in an editorial
this past Sunday. He did it because Will
burn Hooker, a Holmes County Iegis-
Iator released new evidence of continu-
ed LIBERAL thinking and influences at the
University of Mississippi. Hooker mu-
st have nit the left wingers where it
hurts most because their national cha
mpion P~roPagandist came out to defend
them. Editor Carriers Counterattack was
to ridicute Holmes County for e~Iecting
a man who wouldn't recognize COM
mon sense"
1t is not surprising that Holding Car
ter would come to the aid of the Iiber-
al, soft thinking influences which tend
toward indignation.
1t is not surprising because this is the
same Holding Carter who left the imPr-
ession in Portland, Oregon March 8,
1858, that he is a responsible voice from
the South whose conviction is that rae
iaI indignation in the public schools is
right morally, officially and legally"
This is the same Holding Carter who
on July 20, 1858, condemned the de-
Tense Of segregation by John Bell Will
Jams as a "braying ~demagogue" instead
Of a credit to Mississippi"
This is the same Holding Carter who
in October Of 1856 was described along
with Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt and WAL
ter Reuther as one of the "most power
fuI member" Of the Americans for DEM
ocratic Action, a super left wing inter-
grationist group.
This is the same Holding Carter who
was listed in 1855 as a member Of the
Southern Conference Education Fund

Lily Bed

August is Madonna lily
planting time. Prepare the bed
now. 1t should be well drained
and can be in full sun or light
shade. Since the lilies need
have only two inches of soil
over the bulb it is practical to
plant in a raised bed if drain
age is not adequate.
Speaking of lilies, the recent
show Of the Potomac Lily So
ciety had a number of most at
tractive kinds and varieties on
display. The Aurelian hybrids,
in particular, were most inter-
esting. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture had
many blooms of the new yellow
f1owered regal lily at the show
According to DR.. Emsweller, this
is a natural mutation which has
been developed to a point where
1t will come true from seed
However. although this was a
noteworthy preview, it will be
several years before seed will
be commercially available.

Cuttings

Now is the season for taking
cuttings Of azaleas, hollies,
camelliaS and several other
broad-leaved evergreens. Take
the cuttings from the current
seasons growth after it has
begun to harden but before it
gets so stiff that it cracks when
bent at a AS angle. Cuttings
4 to 6 inches long are best.
Treat them with a roofing hor-
none and plant in a half and
half mixture of peat moss and
sand. Some substitute perlite
for the sand with good excuses.
The cuttings should be put in
a cold-frame that is shaded
from the summer sun, or in a
plastic covered pot or bed. The
plastic draws heat so shading
is necessary to keep the cut
tingS cool. The starting media
should be kept damp but not
wet.
Evening star., 1960-07-17
Mulch Protects
Shallow Roots
Of Many Plants

Azaleas, rhododendrons and
many other shallow-rooted
plants benefit from a mulch
which will keep the soil cool
and moist. Even the roses will
stop growing during periods of
high temperatures unless they
have a protective mulch. The
kind of material used is of no
import. They are all helpful,
but some are better than others.
For example. peatmoss and
sawdust will crust during peri
DDS of high temperatures. Pine
needles, sugar cane bagasse,
chopped hay and straw and
ground corn cobs, are
some of the materials available
from local suppliers.
This year could be bad, for
tomato leaf diseases and an
early spray program might be
desirable. Any all-purpose mix
ture containing good fungicides
should serve. However, with dry,
hot weather they usually dis
appear. The late blight, which
all fear. is dependent upon the
weather and takes the special
tomato dusts and sprays con-
tanning metallice copper. This
column will report when the
disease appears imminent.
Evening star., 1960-07-17
Pest Control Plan
Is Preventative

The control Of pests in the
garden, disease and insect, is
a preventative program aimed
at keeping the foliage covered
with materials that will kill the
insects before they do damage
and the same for the disease
spores when they reach the
plant. In the spring when
growth is rapid and when show
ers are frequent this means
frequent Sprayings or dustings
of the plants. During the sum-
mer when growth is much
slower and showers are less fire.
quent it takes fewer applica-
tions to do the job. A regular
program geared to the season
with a good all-purpose mix
ture will, with few exceptions,
keep the garden free of insects
and diseases.

The growing Of new plants
from cuttings has become I

Not only is it fun. but it alst
provides plants for gifts, fol
exchange, and for extending
the paintings in ones own gar.
den. SO fascinating is this hob.
by that many gardeners do II
every year even though theil
own gardens do not have space
for another plant.
Modern techniques have pro-
vided the materials which make
this hobby much easier than
formerly and within the reach
Of even the novice. The root
ing hormones stimulate the
formation of roots on the cut
tings. PulveriZed Sphagnum
moss is an ideal roofing medi-
um and perlite has taken the
place Of the sometimes diff
cult-to-find sharp bank sand
Plastic covers have effectively
removed the need for daily
watering. All in all, one can
raise a single rose bush or a
dozen azalea plants without
upsetting the family routine.
Stiffening Growth
Cuttings should be taken
when the new growth has be-
gun to stiffen. but is should not
crack or break when bent to a
45-degree angle. If it is still rub
berry it will pay to wait a bit, al
though a goodly percentage of
rooted cuttings will be obtained
If the wood is still short of the
desired stage or beyond it. At
the proper stage IS per cent or
more rooted plants should be
obtained.
The cuttings should be cut
about a quarter inch below a
leaf. Apparently this is the area
where adventitious root cells
are most numerous.

Gall Aphids

From Mrs. Robert w. Patterson
$40 S. Barton street
Arlington 4, Va.
Can you advise me what it is
on the enclosed leaf from a
large linden tree? This year the
lower leaves, even the seed pods
are covered with them.
AnSUer
These little Jumps on the leaf
are caused by a small sucking
insect called the gall aphid. "
Once inside the lump of leaf
tissue they are beyond reach of
an insecticide. If you wish to
control them spray the foliage
next spring just as the leaves
are fully grown with malathion
or a similar material.
Evening star., 1960-07-17
Cuttings Can Be Token
With Greater Success

! a fresh supply Of one of the
roofing hormanes and then
with a sharp tap knock of the
excess material.
Place the cutting in a root
ing media Of half and half peat
moss (sphagnum) and sand or
perlite. This should be barely
damp. More cuttings fail to root
in a media that is too wet than
in one that is too dry.
By enclosing the cuttings in
a polyethylene bag or cover
moisture will be retained but an
exchange of gases viii take
place. This obviates the neces-
sity Of daily watering.
Shady Situation
Place the pot or fat of cut
tings in a shady situation.
Sunny places are too hot for
the cuttings and they will cook
since the plastic draws heat
much the same as glass.
Cuttings taken now should
be rooted and ready for trans
planting to a prepared bed in
September. Such beds are
usually placed in a lightly
shaded area where a plank
edging will protect the young
plants the first winter from in
furious winds. Many dig out the
bed to a depth of 4 to 6 inches
and put in a 2-inch layer of
a mixture of peatmoss, sand
and garden loan. This provides
nutrients for the young plants,
gives them room in which to
develop a good root system, and
If severe weather is forecast
the top can be covered with
pine boughs or burlap to keep
out the extreme cold. In the
cutting pot or fiat the cuttings
are only an inch or two apart.
In the growing bed they should
be spaced about 5 inches apart.
This should be taken into con-
sideration in preparing the
growing bed so as to have ade-
quate space.

Douse Foliage
To RepeI Those
japanese Beetles

Now that the Japanese bee
ties are out in force many will
wish to protect the foliage and
flowers in their gardens. Cen
orally, the Japanese beetles
avoid conspicuous materials on
leaves and flowers. Thus for a
kill, insecticides that do not
leave a visible coating, such as
DOT, methoxychlor, ETC., may
be used.
Any kind of material that
will not damage the foliage
and blooms may be used to
repell the beetles if it is dis
tinctly visible. Even flour will
do but it might become sticky
in rainy weather, pulverized
limestone will serve the same
purpose.
Since the japanese beetles
fly to the center of a rose they
will escape contact with in
secticides on the foliage, hence
to keep them out of the rose it
is usually necessary to dust
each morning. directing the
dust into the center of the
flower, Better still, cut the
roses in moderately tight bud
and carry indoors.
The beetles feed on the
foliage of some 275 trees and
shrubs, but the damage to any
one of them varies widely from
season to season. One year
there were so many beetles
present that they nearly de-
foliated a sycamore tree in the
writer's yard. One application
of DOT with a good Sticker
protected the foliage for over
three weeks.
Peach, plum, apricot, rasp-
berry and prune foliage seem
to be favorite foods. However,
four-o'clock. Japanese iris,
soybeans and other plants
loom high on the list of pre-
ferred foods. Some gardeners
plant the four-o'clock to one
side of the flower beds to divert
the beetles away from other
plants. w. H. Y.

WeedkiIIers

Weedkillers are best applied

that time and more Of the

danger Of spray and fume drift
