Flowers Need Special
Summer Attention

Roses and other perennials need
some special care during July and
August, according to Ed Ralph, as
sociate county agricultural agent
Roses need water regularly along
with a handful of 5-10-10 fertilizer
now, and again the first week in
August. Apply by sprinkling the
fertilizer around each plant and
mix il into the soil, Mr.. Ralph rec
ommends
He said a mulch is also useful
to keep the soil temperature down,
hold the moisture and help control
weeds. Peat moss, composted leav-
es, and ground corn cobs are accep-
table mulching materials.
Hardy hrysanthemums s o,
need feeding now and again in Aug
ust. A handful of 5-10-5 or 5-10-10
worked in lightly around each
plant is adequate.
Spraying for insects and diseas
es is also necessary at regular in
tervals.
Roses and NUNS both need to be
protected for best results. A COM
bination spray made of DOT, mall
,athion, karathane and parzate will
control most of the problems.
For display, perennials should be
staked up. Stake and tie the plants
before they bloom so they cannot
be injured by wind and rain. 1t
is not too late to fill vacant spots
with bedding plants. Ralph says. A
starter solution should be applied
when transplanting to help the
plants withstandthe shock and to
speed normal growth. Plants should
be watered before and after trans
planting.
A mulch applied as soon as the
plants are placed in their perman-
ent location will help retain mois-
ture and keep wedding at mini
mum.

said yesterday that Ambassa-
dor Walter Dowling, who is
spending Christmas in Berlin,
protested to Mikhail Pervukhin,
Soviet Ambassador in East Ger
many at Saturdays incident
involving Mai. Gen. Albert
Watson II, the United States
commandant in Berlin.
Gen. Watson Cancelled an Of

after East German border
guards demanded that three
civilian aides in the Generals
car identify themselves. A pro-
test from Gen. Watson was de-
livered by military messenger.
The civilians refused to show
their passports to the East Ger
man guards because the West

is a function of the Soviet oc-
cupation forces in East Berlin.
The Western allies also refuse
to recognize the Communist
East German regime.
Mr.. Dowling made his protest
as high commissioner for Ger

khin under the same title on
the ground that the four war
time victors are responsible for

v. /. Government Lost
$~lO.0OO.OOO TO u. S.
Treasury Since 1855

The Virgin Islands GoveSnment
lost more than one million dollars
last fiscal year because there were
not enough Internal Revenue re-
ceipts to match the revenues
raised by the government during
the course of the year.
Under the formula devised by
the Virgin Islands Organic Act of
1854, the Virgin Islands Govern
ment gets one dollar from the In
ternal Revenue receipts on Virgin
Islands products for every dollar
raised locally from taxes.
In previous years, the Virgin Is
lands Government was not able to
produce enough revenue to meet
the amount of money raised by
Virgin Islands exports, mainly
rum, to the United States. Conse-
quently, from 1855 large sums
from these receipts remained in
the Federal Treasury annually.
But last year when Virgin Is
lands revenue hit a record seven
and a half million dollars, receipts
from Virgin Islands rum Ship
ments which are subject to the
Federal Internal Revenue tax,
yielded only six and a half mil
lion dollars.
Some administration and legis-
lative leaders here feel that the
formula in the Organic Act
should be amended either to re-
turn to the ISLANDS the entire
amount collected by the Federal
government on Virgin Islands
run shipments, or give US credit
for the years when local revenues
could not match receipts, so that
there would be funds available
in the years when local revenues
exceed Internal Revenue receipts.
Since 1855, the Virgin Islands
Government has lost more than
ten million dollars to the Federal
Treasury as a result of its reve-
nues being less than the Internal
Revenue receipts in every year
except the last one.
Puerto Rico gets back all the
Internal Revenue receipts. with
out any strings attached. In addi-
ton to the restrictive formula APP
plicable to the Virgin Islands, this
territory cannot spend any OF the
funds without the prior approval
of the Presidents representative,
who is the Secretary of the
Interior.

Administr
Revenues Are Still
Highest in History

General Fund Revenues for the
first half of the fiscal year 1861
continue to be the highest in the
history of the Virgin Islands,
SO, 179, 854.84 or 20.15% over last
years total to December 81 of
$2,646, 441.20. This report shows
that at the end of December last
year revenues were 44.70% above
the revenues of the preceding
year whereas the increase this
year to December 81 is only
2O.15%
Income Taxes were up 1880
as against 41.61% last year but
that is in part due to a heavy
transfer from escrow funds made
in October 1860. Collections of
Real Property Taxes continue to
be slow, showing a drop of 1850
whereas this time last year Real
Property Taxes were up 31.24%.
Trade and Excise Taxes are down
17.19% whereas this time last
year they were up 66.79%. Collec-
tons of Gross Receipts Taxes
continue to be good, an increase
of $685. whereas last year this
time Gross Receipts were up only
1862.
Customs Dues which were up
this time last year exactly 1000
are now down $3.50 but this is
partly due to the fact that a por-
ton of Customs Revenues since
October is now deposited, by re-
quirement of new law, in the
Marine and Aviation Fund.
The Government release states
that if the amount transferred
from Customs Dues to the Marine
and Aviation Fund is added back
to Customs Dues, for purpose OF
comparison, we find that this item
of revenue is still down $4,000 this
year as compared with last year.

well dinner given last evening

got underway after dinner
when one of the guests, Mr..

Assistant to the Secretary of
the Treasury, produced his
guitar and sang a ditty to the
tune of "On the Road to

His verses parodied the trip
which the two ambassadors,
their wives and the Hendricks
made last year in Sir Harold's
motor cruiser, Southern Cross,
from New Jersey across New
York Harbor, up the Hudson
and through the Erie Canal.
There were some whimsical
references to the performance
of the old diplomatic crew
during a storm which came
up like thunder across New

Not to be outdone, Sir
Howard then produced some
verses Of his own which he
sang to the tune of "Swanee

described as "the worst voice
in the world" and his guests
more politely but nom
