Feeding Required

This method might be termed
soil-leSs culture since the plants
must be fed q soluble fertilizer
twice a week during the grow
ing season, and the base ma
terial will need to be watered
once or twice a week depend
ing upon the weather. The
plant food which is applied to
the compost material in q small
amount Of water remains in
the root feeding area, while
other roots gather adequate
moisture for growth from the
base material.
In disease infested soils, 1t Is
feasible to prepare a trench for
the placing Of the rings and
lining it with o plastic sheet
which will prevent the roots
from coming into contact with
the soil. However. it is impor-
tant to provide adequate drain
age so that the base material
beneath the boxes will at no
time become water-logged.
This system Of growing to-
matoeS may be employed even
on a concrete walk or other
hard surface. Also 1t may be
used for the production Of 9TH
er suitable crops, but Of course
1t does require constant care
throughout the growing season,
especially the feeding and wa
tering.

BRAND NEW WRINKLE b
Ring Culture of Tomatoes

Growing tomatoes Il almost
q necessity for the home gar
dener because they produce
highly useful fruit over . period
Of several months. Fresh grown
tomatoes sliced. In salads. or
in . host Of other ways, are Q
tasty and nutritious food.
The homs gardener, especi-
ally the one with limited space.
il often beset by some Of the
many diseases which attack the
tomato. This IL almost unavoid-
able unless the paintings can
be rotated from one portion
Of the garden TO another. Some
Of the diseases are known to
persist in the soil for seven
years.
The ring system Is reported
by r. w. Allerton Of Essex. Eng
land, not only does much to
protect the plants from disease
but insures strong fruiting
growth.
In brief, the plants are set
in small rings" 9 inches high
by Q inches in diameter made
of roofing paper and which are
filled with rich compost. These
are placed on top Of q moisture
holding layer Of either sphag-
mum peat moss GA inches) or
a mixture Of gravel and vermi-
cutie 6 IND or sterile cinders
a inches) or perlite a inches) i.
A suitable support for the
tomato vines as they grow may
be provided by several methods
stakes, wires. wire cylinders,
etc.
The sterile rich compost is
made from equal parts Of YER
miculite (No. 2 terralite) and
spagnum moss to which Is
added superphosphate, ground
limestone and 5-10-5 fertilizer.
The quantities of the latter
items to be added to the above
will depend upon the total
quantity to be made I'D. For
example, If 10 bushels are to
be prepared, enough for 40
plants ~ pounds Of the SUPER
phosphate. 5 pounds of the
ground limestone and six
pounds Of 5-10-5 would be
needed. Each ring with q top
diameter Of 9 inches and a
bottom diameter Of 8 inches,
holds approximately IA pounds
of the compost, perhaps a
quarter of q buShel.
The compost must be thor
oughly tamped around the
potted plant to prevent undue
drying and to retain the plant
food. Also, If well tamped there
! is better capillary attraction to
; draw moisture from the base
layer.
The base layer must not only
retain moisture, but the ma
terial should not breakdown to
the point Of becoming o soggy
mass beneath the ring. For this
reason vermiculite cannot be
used - 1t deteriorates under
pressure when moist. Gravel
does not hold moisture but II
does provide strength and SC
the combination Of vermiculite
and gravel is useful. Perlite Il
also useful and even coarse
sphagnum moss will serve the
purpose.

Each female will lay a con-
siderable number Of eggs so

summer. SEWN and DOT are
the two most generally
recommended materials for
their control.
Divide the Iris
It is not too late, or even
late, for the digging and
dividing Of the iris. Be sure
to remove all borers and
rotted areas before treating
with q fungicide such as
fermate, captain, etc., and
replanting in q well prepared
bed. Cut the tops back half
or more.
Blossom-end rot is showing
up in many gardens "a dark
sunken area on the blossom
end Of tomatoes. 1t Is caused
by excess nitrogen in the soil
by over watering and by lack
Of water. The excess nitrogen
can be balanced by the addi-
ton Of superphosphate. The
watering should be adjusted to
the plants needs.

Watering the lawn during
the summer. unless it Is newly
made, is unlikely to benefit
anything other than the crab
grass. The bluegrass and fes-
cues go into a dormancy and
do not revive until cool weather
and the fall rains arrive. Thus,
watering the lawn during the
summer benefits the crabgrass.

panies. However. this does not
apply TO flower and shrub bor-
ders or the vegetable gardens
which are in active growth
and need supplemental water

adequate.
Help for the Birds
1t is interesting TO note how
the birds flock to the areas be-
ing watered with a sprinkler
during hot dry periods. They
need o cooling bath as well as
a drink. Gardeners might well
have two or three bird baths
or drinking places for the bug
catchers. Be sure they are near
a clump Of shrubs so that the
birds will have a place OF
safety to retreat to In case the
neighbors' cats come into the
garden.

might well be given a feeding

"In no one event did Gordon
Cooper excel but when every
thing was put together he was

Outstanding Under Pressure
One of Maj. Cooper's traits
that impressed the scoutmaster
was his reaction to pressure.
"He was at his best when
forced to face adversity," Mr..
Head said. when things
were going tough, he was
tough"
The naming of Mai.
Cooper's capsule, "Faith-7,"
was significant, Mr.. Heald
said. 1T had a direct rela-
tionship to the Scout oath ex-

Mr.. Head, who lives at 2416

President Kennedy is against
the use of corporal punishment
in District schools.
Schoolteachers, but not par
ents, should spare the rod on
unruly youngsters, he indicated
at his press conference yester-
day.
The President spoke more as
a stern father. than as the
man empowered by the Con-
stitution to run the city Of
Washington.
His position, however. could
put to rest a House-passed bill
to permit physical punishment
for unruly pupils. If Congress
gives teachers a free hand,
and there was no presidential
veto, they surely will remem-
ber the Presidents words be-
fore they lay a hand on any
of their charges.
The President said he would
not be for corporal punishment
in the school. but I would be
for very strong discipline at
home so we don't place an I'M
fair burden on our teachers" "
The Presidents advice was
the last, and perhaps the most
powerful, word on an issue
which has divided the commu-
nifty.

Bribery Plot Charged
To LefkoWitz Partner

NEW YORK, May % (AP) .
-Hyman D. Siegel, for almost
80 years a law associate Of

grand jury investigating the
State Liquor Authority.
The jury, looking into reports

The charges are misdemeanors.
Mr.. Lefkowitz gave up private

Mallory Rule Poses
Dilemma, Kiwonis Told

A change in the Mallory Rule
and more police on the streets
are needed to reverse the up
ward trend of crime in the Dis
trict, the Washington Kiwanis
Club was told today.
"Unless the Mallory Rule is
substantially changed, Congress
will have to consider some al
ternative to investigative ar
rests" Miriam Gutenberg, a re-
porter for The Star, said at a
luncheon.
The Mallory rule bars the use
in evidence Of confessions OBJ
tanned during an "unreason-
ably" long period between ar
rest and arraignment.
Miss Gutenberg said that po-
lice, because Of the rule, face
this dilemma:
EITHER let a suspect remain

have enough probable cause 10
believe they've definitely got
the right man. Or they pick
him up and charge him with
a crime he may not have COM
mitted.
"They will release him. Of
course, as soon as they've
checked out his alibi, but
there's a charge OF murder or
robbery or rape on his record
then. That record cannot be
