THE PURPOSE of this ex-
pedition was to find an
answer to the age-old ques-
ton:
Hoto doth the little busy
bee
Improve each shining hour
And gather honey all the
day
From every opening tlower?
The Rambler has to report
that he didn't do very we'll.
Almost everything he
thought he knew about bees
turned out to be erroneous.
The little he learned failed
to balance the Lot he had to
unlearn.
He had a ong-Standing
engage e m ent with John
Linder of Cumberland, one
of the top bee men of the
East, to visit the orchards
in apple blossom time.
John was waiting for him
at Hancock, also George
Abrams, the apiarist of the
University of Maryland, and
DR.. Castillo Graham, head of
the Maryland Horticultural
Station at Hancock.
We went out to the Dillon
orchards on Siding Hill
Mountain. This is a big
orchard, 10000 trees includ-
ing $4,000 peaches. They ex-
pect a crop of 400, 900 bushels.
These orchards started by
r. S. Dillon, who is now
approaching 80, were pur-
chased recently by the West

Of California which owns the

with dignity l propose to
make it."
Mr.. Harrison, in announcing
his first major campaign plank,
said he would resist attempts to
repeal or weaken the States
right-to-work law. He said he
would do everything possible
to maintain the favorable busi-
ness climate that presently ex-
lists in the State"
The former State attorney
general spoke to a luncheon
of Virginia Association Exec
utives, a group of trade organ
ization officials.
Mr.. Harrison's 12-point in
dustrial development plan k
touched on one advocate by the
opposing ticket, headed by 1t,
Gov. A. E. S. Stephens.
Mr.. Harrison said he would
carefully study reorganizing the
States industrial development
program into a separate agency
He said this may or may not be
advisable but that, in any case,
1T is not nearly so important
as the personnel" charged with
carrying out the program.
The Stephens ticket proposed
to set up a separate State in
dustrial development depart
ment.
Mr.. Harrison's proposals also
included these points:
Taxes
He said it is felt by many
that certain State taxes dis
courage new industries and
hamper expansion of others.
He said he would start a study
to see if there are inequities,
IF such exist" he said, "a pro-
gram will be evolved which will
fairly and equitably apportion
taxes on individuals and bust
neSses. :"
(The Stephens ticket, in its
platform. said the State gov
ernment must provide "new
sources of revenue" for the
advancement Of education and
industrial development. The
ticket said that whoever is
elected Governor will be COM
PEELED to recommend" that the
General Assembly enact new
taxes or increase existing
oneS.)
Eastern Virginia
Presently there is no en-
gineering school in Eastern or
Central Virginia." he said.
This condition must neces-

Industrial Conferences
He said Statewide industrial
conferences were helpful, but
that AREA or regional con-
tive. Il shall insist that
such conferences be held at
regular intervals throughout
the State, which I shall at
tend. ="
Hampton Roads
Nothing should be left un-
done to accelerate" the full de-
velopment of Hampton Roads,
he said. Nothing that we now
enviSlon will contribute more
to economic growth in Virginia, u
he added.
EuuCdLIOn
THE type of industry which
we seek to attract to Virginia
will need educated, skilled and
trained employees" he said
This means an adequate Sys-
tenn Of public and higher edu-
cation" Mr.. Harrison said the
States educational program
must keep abreast of the need
of industry for technical anG
vocational training.
Coordination
He said the Governor and the
State Industrial Development
Agency should coordinate and
supplement activities of all
groups interested in promoting
industrial development and the
States economy.
Mapping
The program for topograph-
ical mapping of the State
should be accelerated" he said
This is essential for an effec-
tive industrial development
program or for wise planning
in the State"
Water
Because industry requires ar
adequate water supply, Mr.
Harrison said existing State
water resources, soil conserva-
ton, and river basin develop
ment plans should be en-
couraged and promoted.
ZOning
He said a careful review
should be made of existing State
coming laws and the necessary
changes made if needed to pro-
mote orderly industrial devel-
opment programs.

Prison Integration
Limited by District
Council Fails
In Plea for
Rigid Policy
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

The Districts Human Rela-
tions Council has failed to kill
a municipal policy provision
that gives city officials leewayl
in the racial integration Of.
prison inmates.
The Commissioners yesterday
rejected this policy change pro-
.posal by the council. an ad-
viSory group authorized to work
against discrimination in var
iouS areas.
The Commissioners did, how
ever, agree to another council
proposal, this one dealing with
municipal employe grievances.
Under the city's eight-year-
old non-discrimination policy.
any city employe or job appli-
cant who believes he has run
into discrimination may file a
complaint with the appropriate
supervisory official and with a
copy to the secretary to the
Board of Commissioners. Un-
der yesterdays action, the COM
plainant is given the right to
file a copy of the complaint
with the council.
Amendments Near
In its proposals for amend
ments to the Districts policy
order, council representatives
were unable to convince the
Commissioners, however, on the
point dealing with prisoners.
Aaron Goldman, council
chairman, and David A. Sawyer,
executive director, had urged
elimination of a section that
called for officials of the De-
partment of Corrections to
move ahead toward:
E. the objective that COM
plete in tegration will be
achieved within the shortest
possible time consistent with
sound administrative and pena-
logical practice and the public
interest"
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin opposed deletion of
this provision on the grounds
that Department of Corrections
officials need this leeway in or
der to operate an orderly prison
system.
Mr.. Goldman and Mr.. Sawyer
said they were not implying
that prison officials had drag
ged their feet on this matter.
Mr.. Goldman told the Commits
sionerS that the council favored
the change to bring the District
more in line with the Federal
Governments" non-discrimina-
ton policy. The recommended
changes, he said, would result
in a much cleaner and better
document than the one on the
books"
Some Integration
The Commissioners, however,
turned down the recommended
prison revision, where the con-
Germ mainly is with the mems
reformatory at Lorton, Va.
Asked later for details, Dom
aid Clemmer, head of the De-
partment of Corrections, said
there are 223 white prisoners
and 1850 Negroes in the rel
tormatory. There is some measJ
ure of integration there, Mrl
Clemmer said. but most of the
dormitories are racially segre-
gated along with some aspects
OF the mass feeding" program.
Mr.. Clemmer said that his
department has made Substan-
tial progress toward integra-
ton. There is complete inte-
grafton, he said, in the Dis
trict'S jail, the new Youth Gen.
ter and the women's reforma-
tory. The District workhouse
facilities are virtually inte-
grated, he said
The Commissioners yester-
day took under study other
recommendations submitted by
the council representatives, in
cluding a proposal that would
widen the groups Jurisdiction
for investigation.

POETRY WITH TEMPO
e. e. cummings and spring

The high, foggy voice of lower
case e. e. cummings was weav-
ing the words last night for
the Young of Then and the
Young of Now.
The Young of Now were
mewing about and discovering
for the first time the mud
luscious" and "puddlewonder-
full" in the poets poems OF
spring.
The Young of Then had
quieter enthusiasms for the Pied
Piper and from their older
faces came such words as "he's
an actor. too. there's such
rhythm in his voice, yes a
rhythm. yes a rhythm. :"
The poems of the 66-year -old
poet have been coming since
1923. His writing style, with
its disinterest in capitals and
periods and such, touches the
rebellious spirit of those who
wage war on capitals and
periods and such.
VOcally Re-edits
These typographical arrange
mentS are devices to give readers
. maximum Of communication
and excitement-they deter
mine a musical tempo and the
eye rusheS over a crowding of
less important words to the
more meaningful wider spaced
sentences. Last night he proved
to the Institute of Contempo-
rary Arts audience his poems
might best be heard and not
seen; he worded the words the
way he wanted them worded.
AS for the thoughts behind
the words, he was once quoted:
Il have no sentimentality at
all. If you haven't got that
you're not afraid to write about
love and death"
This could be a little un-
nerving to an audience caught
up in the sentimental and

Three specialists from the

with garden leaders and mer-
chants to explain their recon-
mendations for the control of
the garden as well as the fer
tilizers which they were max
ing. This conference had a
dual purpose, namely to &C
quaint the merchants of the
area of what materials they
would be telling the home gar
dener to use, and, to inform
the leaders SO that they might
well spread the word to their
groups.
DIR. Meade's recommendations
can be summarized as follows:

leaved weeds such as plantain
and dandelion.

Six Steps
In Tree
Planting

Tress contribute nightly to
the Identification of the home
and the community If they are
adapted as to kind, texture and
habit Of growth. 1t is wise to
investigate the characteristics
of a tree before buying and
then to plant in the best and
most effective locations.
Trees contribute much to the
home in addition to providing
an attractive frame work and
background, during the sum-
mer they furnish shade to keep
the house cooler; in the winter
they shelter the house from
heat-robbing winds. This in
part explains why a tree en-
riched house has a greater
sales value than one standing
apart an unprotected from the
Scorching sun.
The following six steps show
the way to plant the newly
purchased trees so that they
may get off to a good start.
/. Subsoil must be well
drained, If not, provide drain
age by installing a tile drain
that will carry away excess
moisture. Cover the tile with
coarse gravel.
2. The hole should be at
least a foot wider than the
root spread and also a foot
deeper than the root ball. Use
good top soil, mixed with peat
moss in filling. working it
around the roots to eliminate
air pockets. Set the tree
slightly higher than it grew
in the nursery to allow for
settling.
3. Leave q slight saucer to
facilitate watering. Soak the soil
thoroughly to settle the soil
about the roots. Wrap trunk
with burlap or paper strips and
leave on until they fall by
themselves.
4. Cut back the longer
branches to about one-third
their original length. Don't
destroy the shape Of the tree,
and it is seldom wise to shorten
the leader since a new one will
need to be trained to take its
place.
5. When trimmed paint the
wounds with Shellac or q tree
dressing. Prune so as to avoid
stubs, be sure to make cuts
flush with the trunk or another
branch.
6. Water the tree thoroughly
about every week or 10 days
in dry weather during the first
season. Mulch the soil around
the tree, and support 1t with
two strong stakes, covering the
guy wires with rubber hose.

Three Operations
Block Spread Of
Elm Disease
BY BRIAN K. FINGER

; Assistant Montgomery County Agent
Three operations. sanitation,
spraying and fertilization. are
necessary to prevent the spread
Of Dutch elm disease. which
kills many trees every year.
The disease is spread by bark
beetles that breed in diseased
trees, collect fungus spores on
their bodies, then fly to other
trees.
Sanitation means the prompt
removal and destruction of dis
eaSed trees and the pruning Of
injured and weakened limbs.
Infected trees must be cut down
to the ground because stumpS
contain a reserve of infective
material. This operation should
be completed by April IS, when
bark beetles begin to emerge.
Trees are sprayed in late win
ter with DDT to kill the bark
beetles that fly in from nearby
Infected trees. That is, the
spraying is a preventive to keep
healthy trees from becoming
infected. It should be done
before the buds open.
Tree vigor is the best in
Surance against Dutch elm dis
ease. Beetles feed on the bark
; of q healthy tree but they can
not establish their brood under
bark where there is a strong
flow Of sap. Fertilizer applied
before spring will give the
trees the necessary vigor. Con-
troll Of Dutch elm disease is
most effective when all trees
5 in a community are cared for.
If some trees are neglected,
, others in the neighborhood are
endangered.

Strong, Symmetrical Curve

= In a recessed corner on the

severe dry condition. Unless !
ask the rain to fall straight
down or slant around a big box
elder tree, moisture must be
maintained by hand. My solu-
ton was to use rocks and
thrifty plants. However, an
unlimited trumpet vine has, to
my chagrin, complete control
of this area. In this spot it
is messy, never flowers and I
cannot get ride Of it without re-
doing the whole area. But,
nothing in this world can be all
bad and I like the trumpet
creeper with it's woody, in
teresting and twisted growth.

branches, the one which curved
in one direction and then, as if
compelled to repeat itself, curved
in the same way but in a re-
verse direction, seemed to give
me a line pattern which would
go well with a free form con-
tainer. The strong curve, if it
could be folded along a central
axis would prove to be COM
pletely symmetrical. If we
traced this line on piece OF
paper and folded it along the
center axis, it would show that
this curve encompasses an area
Of only two dimensions, q
plane which Is identical on
both sides of a center line
Since the beginning and the
ending of this curve are both
infinite, one realizes that il
may be used in any desired
length. We must also realize
that the space encompassed by
The curve must grow con-
stantly wider and wider.
This forceful, remark
able curve can easily be found
in our space-age designs which
are streamlined for maximum
speed, or in contemporary art
forms, especially in the fields
of modern architecture and In
duStrial design.
Walter Dorwin league, one
of Americas pioneers in indus
trial design, says in his book
Design This Day." that the
parabola is "our characteristic
line of beauty"
In our arrangement tn e
Campsis, or trumpet creeper
proves that nature can cas-
lily produce this parabolic curve
Knowing is seeing and once
you have become acquainted
with such a line of beauty, you
will be amazed how often you
will encounter it.
The parabola has been
known since the time of the
great geometer Euclid. His
treatise on geometry lin 13
books which came out about
300 BIC. is still current reading
The stone is rolling, an au-
thor opens a door. An imagi-
native person can walk through
it and discover stepping stones

grasses which often are a prob
lem both in the lawn and in
the garden. Dalapon, Amitrol,
fuel oil and tar paper were
those mentioned. They will
completely wipe out all plant
material in the treated area but
then that is the only method
available today for getting rid
of such noxious grasses as Ber-
muda, quackgrasS, nimblewill,
etc.
o The annual grasses are
treated in several ways. There
are post-germinating and pre-
terminating methods. Many
are now considering, and using,
these materials which are
spread in March or early April
that kill the dormant crabgrass
seed-Dacthal and zytron as
we'll as the forms Of arsenates.
Those that are recommended
for the crabgrass after it has
sprouted are: Artox and Clout.
The latter is reported to control
goosegrass, a real problem in
many gardens.
Seeding Of new grasses should
be delayed for about 6 weeks
after the application Of a pre-
emergence material.
Q Kali is recommended as q
soil sterilant where no grass or
weed is wanted as in patios,
walks and drives.
Since there are slight diff
ferences in the nature of these
materials as released by the
manufacturers 1t was repeat
edly requested that the user
carefully read the labels.
Prof. Meade stated that there
was no selective weedkiller that
would control nutgrass, nimble-
will or the mum weed.
