On February twenty-second
last I wrote you that I was in
structing appropriate officers
of this Government to prepare
concrete proposals for imme-
date projects of common &C
ton in the exploration of
space. I now present such pro-
posals to you.
The exploration of space is
a broad and varied activity and
the possibilities for co-opera-
ton are many. In suggesting
the possible first step which
are set out below, I do not in
tend to limit our mutual con-
sideration of desirable Coop
erative activities. On the con-
trary, I will welcome your con-
crete suggestions along these
or other lines.
Weather Data Sought
/. Perhaps we could render
no greater service to mankind
through our space programs
than by the joint establishment
of an early operational weather
satellite system. Such a system
would be designed to provide
global weather data for prompt
use by any nation. To initi-
ate this service, I propose that
the United States and the
Soviet Union each launch a
satellite to photograph cloud
cover and provide other agreed
meteorological services for all
nations. The two satellites
would be placed in near-polar
orbits in planes approximately
perpendicular to each other,
thus providing regular coverage
of all areas. This immensely
valuable data would then be
disseminated through normal
international meteorological
channels and would make a
significant contribution to the
research and service programs
now under study by the World
Meteorological Organization in
response to Resolution 1921
(XVI) adopted by the United
Nations General Assembly on
December 20, 1861.

by such severe treatment for

One such comfort loving

There they are either meagerly

or they are made to bloom
all through the winter.
How easy to harvest several
flower clusters and a handful
of leaves of various sizes. Add
to them a succulent shoot
which has leaves, flowers and
a bud and it will help to
establish variation in height in
your arrangement.

Now that the Japanes e
beetles are here many gard
eners are concentrating on pre-
venting serious damage to trees,
shrubs and flowers. Common
ly most gardeners in their ef-
forts use only a long-lasting
killer spray. such as DDT and
SEWN. However. for m any
plants and especially for the
roses it should be a saving in
time if they used some all
purpose mixture containing a
good fungicide and thus pre-
vent disease as well as the

dwarf ageratum seems to be one
exception. China asters, mari

since spent blooms detract from
the appearance of the garden
it helps to snip off the dead

Plastic COVERING
Holds Moisture

You can easily make small
greenhouse" to keep house
plant humid and healthy while
you're on vacation. Simply tie
a plastic bag over your plant
and fasten it securely to the
sides of the pot. Soak entire
plant and pot in water before
fastening the cover. This meth
cd should keep plants moist for
two or three weeks.

Some flower arrangements
are made with the idea that
a natural representation Of the
plants habit would be most
pleasing. Some arrangements
are created by following a strict
ritual. Others are entirely OPP
posite in approach, since the
arranger wishes to use flowers
mainly as a means Of self ex-
tpression. This sounds too much
like saying that we have black
and white and gray without
mentioning the fact that the
transitions between these areas
are immeasurable.
In addition. many arrange
mentS are made solely for
creative pleasure and equally
many are made purely for show.
Perhaps, this will give an ink
ling Of the many decisions an
arranger is forced to make be-
fore she may place her ar
rangement where it belongs.
Since everything has its place
somewhere in this world of ours
at a given time, we should look
with tolerance at the varied
creative efforts. 1t is very easy
to tell an arrangement for @
nome. Since it is only a part
Of larger setting, it will shine
in rewarding beauty only If II
is seen in its proper setting.
The same holds true for an
arrangement which was made
for a niche in a flower show.
Like a performer on a stage,
1t is seen in a cubicle Of air
space with special lighting and
at a special eyelevel.
Like in a play, emphatic &C
centuation can make mountains
out Of molehills.
No wonder such arrangements
look posed when seen under
other circumstances.
Today, flowers are dipped and
dyed, laquered and treated,
strapped and wired till they
can pose as Cleopatra or
Brigitte Bardot. Some thrive

sand. Some are substituting
perlite for the builders sand,
The peatmoss (sphagnum) may
be either from a bale such as
lis used in soil improvement. OF
the pulverized sphagnum used
in starting seeds. The former
lin most cases is satisfactory
but there will be the occasional
instance where some disease
organism is present in the
baled peat and produces mil
dew or other problems.
Sterile pots should be used
where only a few cuttings Cup
to 25) are to be rooted. Larger
numbers might better be root
ed in a flat or propagating bed.
Some will use a pot for each
variety-four to six inch size,
depending upon the number of
cuttings.
The roofing media should be
thoroughly dampened before
inserting the cuttings and then
all excess moisture drain e d
away. Wet soggy media do not
help induce roofing. That is
one reason why some people
have little success in using pots.
In flats and beds there is
enough loss of moisture to pro-
duce favorable roofing condi-
tions. On the other hand, pots
are so easy to handle that
most people prefer them.
Firm Up Media
Once the cuttings are in
place, spaced about two inches
apart, the roofing media should
be firmed about them so that
the stems are in contact with
the sand or perlite.
The cuttings then should be
covered with a plastic to pre-
vent loss of moisture. The pots
may be enclosed in a freezer
bag, sheets of the polyethylene
plastic may be used to cover
flats or beds. High humidity
is necessary to prevent whiting
and to ALLOW the cuttings to
function until the roots are
formed.
The cutting bed, flats or pots
should be in a lightly shaded
situation avoid direct sunlight
or dark places.
The cuttings may need wa
tering during the roofing peri
od-four to six weeks. Syring-
ing in most cases should be
adequate. Those enclosed in a
freezer bag may not need wa
tering during the entire period.
When the cuttings have roots
an inch or two in length they
should be transferred to a
growing bed or pots. The soil
mixture should be of equal
parts Of sand, garden loan,
peatmoss and compost. Space
them at least six inches apart.
Here again, light shade is i'm
portant. Protect the growing
bed from drying winds either
with boards or a slat screen.

-~~N~-
There is something fascinat-
ing, about creating new azales
plants from slips cuttings, tt
the experienced. The taking Of
a piece of stem of a new va
riety, or an old one if more
plants are wanted-and pro-
ducing bushy new plants ir
two or three years is a creative
experience that is most reward
ing.
Much of the success of grow
ing new plants from cuttings
depends upon taking the cut
ting at the proper stage OF
growth. There will be a cer-
tain percentage of roofing al
other seasons, but the highest
percentage comes when the new
growth has begun to stiffen
One way to tell If it is stiff
enough is to bend the new
shoot to q 45-degree angle. II
it is too stiff it will crack; If
just right it will spring back
into shape, and If too soft can
be bent much further without
injury. Usually this best stage
is about the middle of July but
will vary with the season and
with the variety.
Strong growing plants will
have long new shoots and
sometimes they are later than
slow-growers in firming up the
woody stem.
Those wishing to grow a con-
siderable number of new plants
may want to take some each
week beginning before the 18th
of July and ending about the
middle of August.
Nodes Below Surface
The slips should be three to
five inches in length. The cut
should be made just below a
leaf-node. There is little point
in taking a six or eight inch
cutting since rooted azaleas
grow quite rapidly.
Remove the lower pair or two
leaves so that when placed in
the roofing media there are at
least two nodes below the sur
face, and the leaves should not
be covered in placing the cut
ting.
1t is well to dip the ends of
the cuttings in a fresh roofing
hormone. Most of the CONNER
cially available roofing hor-
mones deteriorate on opening
and should not be held over
for more than a week or two.
A small package will treat SO
to 100 cuttings. Most gardeners
think of the roofing hormones
as being growth stimulators-
they are but some also contain
a fungicide which helps to pre-
vent stem rot.
Place in Roofing Media
The cuttings are then placed
in a roofing media. The one
most commonly used one for
azaleas is a half and half mix

AS an experiment in relations between art and

proved that determined government can kill an

the ultimate triumph? Many of the artists represented
in the May Collection we're faculty members of the
famous Bauhaus School of Design. The Bauhaus too,
came under the antagonStic scrutiny of the German
