Kennedy Sure
He'IIBePicked
ByDeInocrats
Buckers Predict
Maryland Victory
At Polls Tuesday
By PAUL HOPE
Star Stan Writer

ELKTON, Md, May 14.-Sen-
ator Kennedy today confident
ly predicted he will have
enough votes to win the Dem
ocratic convention nomination,
but said he was not forecasting
a win on the first ballot.
He said he expects Senator
Morse to take next Fridays
Oregon primary as a favorite
son candidate. However he said
he expects to do well in Oregon.
The Senator said he would be
happy with anything over so
per cent of the vote in Tues
days Democratic primary in
Maryland against Senator
Morse. Some Kennedy workers
have been predicting a Kennedy
victory by 65 per cent or more
in Maryland.
The Massachusetts Senator
made his unSurprising political
forecast as he paused here in
a day-long tour Of Maryland
seeking votes in Tuesdays pri-
mary.
Everywhere the Senator has
gone in Maryland he has re-
ceived an enthusiastic welcome.
Friday the 18th was especially
good to him in the Free State.
In a 200-mile tour yesterday,
the Senator was mobbed, ap-
plauded and introduced every
where as the next President.
At the end of the day he had
the Endorsement of Gov. Tawes
in his pocket-not quite as
strong a one as it might have
been, but satisfactory to the
Senator. i
1000 Attend Rally
Senator Kennedy delivered
the most fighting speech of his
Maryland tour last night at a
Baltimore rally of nearly 1000
people who couldn't all crowd
into the Emerson Hotel ball
room.
He sounded as if he were
warming up for November as
he lambasted Vice President
Nixon and the Republican Ad-
ministration.
Anyone who says there are
no issues in this election just
doesn't know what they're
talking about" he told the
cheering audience. He hit hard |
at unemployment and the
"250.000 in West Virginia liv-
ing on relief packages of pow
dered eggs and a bag of flour
a month"
He scorned the Presidents
veto yesterday of a bill to aid
depressed areas and said Con-
gress should override the veto.
He said if the veto is not over
ridden, the matter should be
made a major campaign issue
in the fall.
CriticiZes Nixon
Senator Kennedy said there
are 5 million homes without
plumbing but the President
vetoed a Federal housing bill.
He raped Mr.. Nixon for vot-
ing against a Federal aid-to-
education bill.
THE greatest ISSUE" he said,
lis the Presidency and the
conduct of that Office. Nixon
should not make the decisions
for the next four years."
Turning to the Democratic
primary, Senator Kennedy be-
labored Senator Symington
who was indorsed yesterday by
former President Truman.
He said is was "only natural"
that Mr.. Truman would indorse
Senator Symington, a fellow
MiSSourian. He kidded Mr..
Truman a little about the fact
that Senator Symington was

Prune and Feed
Doqwood Trees

Pruning and feeding dog
woods are the most timely au-
tumn and winter treatments
Prune out all dead wood. Feed
the trees amply to promote
vigor. This is essential to offset
drought and winter damage
and borer injury.
Borers may be dug out il
their channels in trunk or
larger branches are detected.
Painting the lower trunk and
branches with a slurry of DOT
after bloom in the spring will
deter borer attack.
To check twig blight, prune
and burn infected twigs, and
map a spray program, using a
fungicide, next spring. Prun-
ing Is essential to eliminate
those branches with brown and
black cankered areas caused by
the fungus Sphaeropsis which
invades the sapwood. This
fungus often causes general
dying in the top of a tree.
Pink dogwoods are inher-
emily weaker than native white
Towering dogwoods. For this
reason they need a little extra
care.

the bottom cut a quarter of an
inch below a node or leaf bud.
Tie the cuttings in bundles
with the butts at one end, and
bury in peatmoss, sawdust OF
some other material that will
keep them from drying out
and from freezing. The butts
should be placed upward as this
seems to help them to callus
In mid-March or whenever the
soil is workable these cuttings
should be placed in rows in the
garden where they can grow

Every book that discusses

to what constitutes q $40 hole
in which to put The $3.50 tree
|or shrub. Not q single one en-
|phasizes the Importance Of cut
ting back the top to compen-
safe for loss of roots. Most
experienced gardeners think
the balancing Of top with roots
has much to do with how
the plants grow the following
season.
OF course. such drastic prun-
ing as is usually justified goes
against the grain Of the gar
dener who has just paid q gen.
erous price because the plant
was so-and-so feet tall. To cut
it back to the 75-cent height
Just seems ridiculous. And
justly so--untiiH next season
when the anennic dwarf leaves
show and the plant barely
struggles along. II
This cutting back applies
whether it be a shrub you are
moving 10 feet in your own
yard or one that was shipped
from a nursery 1000 miles.
1t is absolutely essential that
the top be pruned to a point
where it is in balance with
the root system.
Actually, shrubs that are me-
ticulously root pruned in the
nursery need less cutting back
of the tops than a plant that
is brought in out Of the woods.
The latter in most cases should
be cut almost to a stump be-
cause 1t is practically impos-
sible to get more than a small
fraction Of the struggling root
system common to plants in the
woods.
The moral to all of this is
that the prize results 60 to the
gardener who believes in prur-
ing and is not afraid to cut
heavily.
