are not dedicated and hard-work-
ing" Senator Boggs said. How
ever. we have not kept up with
some other countries in recruiting
and training a skillful force of ca
reer people in the field OF foreign
relations. The theological struggle
between East and West has magni-
fled our shortcomings in this area
and has undersoored the need for
us TO send representatives to other
countries who can convincingly
demonstrate the advantages of
democracy.
Through an academy of this
type" Senator Bcggs continued,
first hundreds, later thousands of
dedicated men and women who de-
sire to serve their country effec-
lively will have that opportunity.
''This foreign service academy
would be co-educational." the Sena-
tor said. while feel a curriculum

ther than from legislation. | would
hope that any curriculum would be
oriented toward liberal arts with
special emphasis on the history.

students would be selected
through competitive examinations
and appointed in much the same
manner as appointments are now
made TO the military academies" :"
Senator Boggs explained. "One diff

nor of each state would be permit
ted to select one nominee to this
academy
"The academy would provide a
four-year course .at the end of
which a graduate would receive a
bachelor of arts degree. In being
appointed to the academy, the stu

arated sooner. he would serve three
years as an officer or employee of
the United States in a position for

Senator Boggs said the proposed
academy would offer. in addition
to classroom study. two months of
field training during the summer

Winter Lights
Help Production

Winter lighting of the laying
house is essential in profitable pro-
duction of market eggs. says Coun-
ty Agent, William H. Henderson.
The layers working-day may be ex-
tended to fourteen hours when egg
prices are highest. One rs watt bulb
with reflector. suspended seven
feet above the floor, will be suffic-
lent To light two hundred square
feet of floor space. The general rule
Is to provide l watt per bird. Count
the number of birds per pen and
then use that many total watts per
pen. Artificial light tends TO stimu-
late egg laying and thus insures a
higher production level.
Clean the light bulbs on reg
ular weekly schedule to get the
most return from the electricity
used. Feed troughs. waterers. and
granite grit and oyster she'll hop
pers should be IN well-Iighted To-
cations. It's a good idea to watch
body weight of the birds and feed
supplementary pellets at the same
time each day when necessary.
Water as well as feed must be a
valuable to the birds at all times.

GOLDEN LOOK
Garden Color Emphasis
On Yellow and Orunoe

FAIL brings myriadS of
chrysanthemums with some
really beautiful gold-colored
varieties. DahliaS too, are in
abundance. CalendulaS put on
their best show at this season.
The small sunflowers
(helianuthus debilsi; heliopSis
helianthoides). tritomas, feath-
cry celosia and glorioSa daisies
may be used to furnish back
ground.
While most Of these flowers
can be used attractively by
adding only gray or green foft-
age plants. they may make O
more pleasing picture II plants
with blue flowers are added.
There are many to choose from
for each season and for each
situation. To suggest only o fey
I-pansieS, iris, asters, and many
others may be chosen but for
the golden look use fewer blues
but many shades Of yellow
orange and gold.-A. 8. Y.
Evening star., 1961-03-10

Just as fashions change in
clothes, home furnishings and
house designs, so do gardens
change in color emphasis.
This is the year for the rise
of brilliant colorS In women's
clothing and so this. too, is
the, year for the use Of shades
of yellow and orange and gold
to give what might be called
The Golden Look"
If you wish to try out this

den or in all Of it there is
simply no end Of material from
which to choose. With yellow
or gold as the dominant color.
other colors must be used to
tie 1t all together. Gray may
be used most effectively but
sometimes white is the best
choice.
In the early spring daffodils.
tulips, hyacinths, pansieS, vi
olas, California poppies, and
primroseS and iris may be used
with the graceful sprays Of for
sythia and Spirea van Houtte
for background.
Later the early yellows may
be replaced with marigolds and
zinniaS In an infinite number
of shades Of yellow and orange.
SnapdragonS are useful also as
are the old-fashioned mar
gueFites and the stately glads.

Orchard Grass

Those clumps Of orchard
grass showing up in the lawn
are best removed by digging
the gray-green foliage is dis
tinctive and easily spotted. It
is a course grass and belongs
in the pasture, not the lawn.
It may be killed with dalapon
common name) or other pc
rennial grass killers. There Is
an aerosol now available that
is handy for such clump treat
ment. Do not confuse orchard
grass with tall fescue which
has a broad, bright-green leaf.
The latter is an excellent grass
for play areas where fine tex
ture is not important. How
ever, should it prove undesir-
able it may be removed with
a chemical. Digging is not
quite so easy since 1t is a
spreader rather than q clumpy
grass.

Things to Plant

If the garden is ready it is
not too early to plant potatoes,
peas, onion sets, and in the
more protected areas, q short
row of lettuce. Also, now is a
good time to plant the little
gladiolus cormels-about two
inches deep and an inch apart
If planted at this season they
should produce bloom this

THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

Last week end was just too
warm to stay out Of the garden
and most gardeners and home
owners were out doing various
jobS-from raking to pruning,
fertilizing and just peeking to
see what was showing. 1t was
an unusually fine week end
even though the soil in most
gardens was q bit too wet for
digging. However, there was
much that could be done be-
sides pruning-there was the
matter of spreading fertilizer.
filling holes. pushing the plant
markers back into the ground,
carrying away broken limbs
and other debris as well as
beginning to thin the mulch
over the bulb beds and in the
perennial border. Lining is in
order in many gardens but
should be limited to the
spreading of pulverized lime
stone rather than the hydrated
lime which breaks down humuS
so quickly, also attacks the fer
tilizer, releasing the nitrogen.
A number of gardens are
enjoying the crocus bloom.
They don't make much Of a
showing but oh how nice 1t
is to see the bright color-it
proves that spring is not far
away. We all ought to plant
more Of the crocus-Some Spe-
cieS flower earlier than others,
but all will want to have Q
patch" of crocus sativuS, COM
monty called Cloth Of Gold"
There is a tendency to as
sumo that spring is here-per-
hapS so, but the average FROST
free date for this area is about
April 20. That is still six weeks
away. If we do uncover the
bulb and perennial beds, we
ought to keep the mulching
material handy so that it can
be put back in case it is needed.
There is little that can be done
to protect the tulips and other
bulbs above ground now. In
most cases their flower buds
will not be injured by freezing
weather,
Evening star., 1961-03-10
Climber Roses

Climbing roses that were not
pruned last summer following
blooming might well be given
attention now even though it
means removing potential
Towering wood. No doubt the
removal of some canes will
mean more strength for those
that remain with consequently
larger blooms on longer canes.

Crobgruss

Pre- emergence crabgraSS
killers may be applied at any
time until the end Of April.
Normally crabgrass seed starts
to germinate in mid-May and
the chemical should be spread
at least two weeks before.
There are q number Of such
chemicals on the market, some
of which have not been rated
by the researchers at College
Park and Beltsville. So far they
have given top rating to Dach-
tai and Zytron (theSe are COM
mon names, not trade nameS) .
