CERMANS CONSIDER ROCKET DEFENSE Possibility Dlscussed as Re- sult of Treaty Ban on Fast Combat Planes. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, May 8.—Germany, land of the “vest-pocket cruiser,” scems on the point of developing also a ‘“vest- pocket” air defense. Under the Versailles treaty Germany is mot permitted to build fighting planes, But cther countries have built cnough of them to worry Germans who insict their country must be just as adequately protected as if it were pop- ulatod by Frenchmen or Poles.

THE HOME GARDENER Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for Beautifying Surroun Many a local garden is now brilliant with the showy Darwin, breeder and May *flowering tulips. These tulips have been so reasonable in cost in recent years that they might readily b2 termed the poor man's or, rather, the poor gardener's flowers, but at the same time are worthy of a place in the finest The Darwins include shades | of color ranging from dul.) purple to pure white, through a whole gradation of light purples, lavenders and reds and pinks of varicus hues. There is a mul- titude of varieties, but it so happens that some of the finest zlo are the most reasonably priced, for example, Farncombe Sanders, Feu Brilliant, Aft- erglow, Clara Butt and Cenunalre The pure white variety, Zwanenburg, is still quite costly, as also are the yellow Mrs. Ware end Miss Curry. | ser, by turning to ths May flower- oup, one can find plenty of fine yellows, such as Bouton d'Or, Mrs. Moon, Moonlight and Inglescomb Yel- low, all at reasonable price. Home gardeners living in communi- | ties with active garden clubs would | often more than save the modest dues by affiliating with the club and per- i ticipating in_collective orders for bulbs. What is still more imrortant, an op- portunity is cffered to conler with more experienced gardeners in regard to va- rietiss and cu'ture. The flower shows staged by thes> clubs offer an ideal op- portunity to select varicties as they ac- tuelly appear and not as they are pic- tured in the catalogue. PLANT BREED! By Amateurs, One of the most interesting hobbies that tte home gardener can develop is that of plant breeding, especially if he confines himself to one or two species | and becomes thoroughly familiar with their characteristics. Washington and its suburbs boast of many such zmateur breeders, some of whom have become widely known because of their success- BY J. W. WELLINGTON. gs of the Home.

FALSE REPORT DENIED BY ASHEVILLE BANKER Wallace B. Davis, President of In- stitution Whose Failure Caused Panic, on Stand. By-the Associated Press. ASHEVILLE, N. C., May 9.—Wallace B. Davis, who was president of the Ce=_ tral Bank & Trust Co. when it fafled here last Fall, causing a financial panic throughout this section, today denime from the witness stand the State’s cusation that he ordered a false re] of the bank’s condition as of Septem! 24, 1930, made to the State Corporati Commission. The banker, on trial with two of the bank’s directors on a charge of violal= ing the State banking laws by making a false report, said the first time he ever saw the report in question was on October 17, 1930, in the directors’ room of the bank. William McCants, who was auditor ]nl the bank, testified for the State that iDavis ordered changes made in tHe re- port as soon as the bank employes had prepared it Practically all auto busses in Palestine are from America. ~_FARM AND GARDEN.

And so, with Germany acute- | 1y_rocket-conscious just now, the pos sibility of developing an air defense | with rockets is being seriously dis- | cussed. It may be many a year before any one In Germany or elsewhere succeeds in shooting a rocket to the moon. But rockets capable of describing spirals and figure eights in the atmosphere above a threatened city are no distant dream. Only recently the Osnabrueck in- ventor, Reinhold Tiling, demonstrated a powder rocket which, when it reached ‘the peak of its upward curve- unfolded wings and glided back to earth like a_sallplane. He calis his invention a “hochlei- stungsdauerbrandpulverrakete, means a high flyer rocket propelied by burning pswder. Liquid Fuel Rockets Demonstrated. At Dessau Johannes Winkler demon- strated a liquid-fuel rocket that de- scribed exactly the curve he said it would make, and landed where he pre- dicted it would. And in Berlin th: Heylandt Liquid Gas Engineering Works exhibited to newspaper men & rocket-motor with a | 400-pound recoil and a roar like several | thousand airplane motors, which its builders say could project its2lf to any point in Europ2 within 12 minutes. Engineers, basing their predictions on demonstrations and on recent | achievements in radio control of ai plancs in flight, contend that the radlo- | controlled rock:t, capable of shooting ty super-airplane heights like a bullet and then spreading wings and zigzag- ging downward under distant control, is just a matter of money and time. Interesting Field of Conjecture, Such rock>ts would not have to be | 1oaded with explosives to be valuable in air defence. Planes have been disabled by colliding with largs birds, while small pieces of loose metal coming in con- tact with a whirling propeller have caused many a forced landing. A few hundred metal rockets radio guiced toward a collision with an ap- | preaching air squadron, could be vastly disconcerting to en>mies. Loaded with high explosives, ignitable by radio at the most opportune time, they could be ev'n more dangerous an approaching fleet, army or air ar-| mada. The rocket as a substitute for heavy rtillery is another interesting field of meinecring conjecture.

By the Assoclated Press. | GREEN BAY, Wis, May 9.—Three persons were drowned today when two | automobiles plunged through an_open | draw span over the downtown Walnut Street Bridge and sank in the Fox . | River. | The dead were: | Clark Conaty, 28, State boxing com- missioner, Green Bay. | Fred Rusch, 21, Seymour, Wis. | Evelyn Murpty, 21, a Green Bay waitress. | " Otto Tonne, 50, a boxing referee, who was believed drowned with the others, was found at his cottage near Bay | Beach. The bodies of Conaty and Miss Mur- | phy wera recovered, but Rusch's body | was stil missing. His relatives were | | convinced he drowned since, they said, | he called for Miss Murphy at a restau- a dance, DANIELS SAYS LEAGUE COULD SAVE DEPRESSION U. §. Conditions Blamed on Failure to Join by Former Seqre- tary of Navy. By the Associai=d Pre: CHAPEL HILL, N. May 9.—Jo- | sephus Daniels, Raleigh, N. C., news- pap:r editor, asserted the United States | failure to join the League of Nations | was largely responsible for the present world-wide d:pression, in an address to- day before the closing session of the Institute of Human Relations at the University of North Carolina here. Daniels, who was Secretary of the Navy during the Wilson administration, has long advocated that this Nation join the league. “The policies of the present Repub- lican administration,” Daniels said, “were a large contributing factor to the depression, but the chief responsi- bility must be laid to the failure of the United States to follow Woodrow Wil- £on, wko gave warning in his last utter- ence touching on world prob'ems that we sha'l inovitably be forced hy the moral obligations of civil honers to re- trieve t"l{:c h;.a] l-[rrur and assume once more_the role of courage, self- and helpfulness.” . o Tomer —— A factory in Naples, ltuly. roducing :nech-mc;}n:roducglhu talled Amer- ican macl ry and is accord- American mmhxr e . ing to which | rant after taking his sister home from | Plant breeding takes considerable skill | and lots of patience. It usually takes five or six years t> bring a seedling iris or narcissus to blcoming size, and this requires great patience in caring for the small plants, especially when the expectation of real success is small | at the best. One principle in breeding that seems pretty well established is | that mediocre parents rarely, if ever, give rise to superior progeny. Hence the prospective breeder must know his | material and use the outstanding va- rieties. Generally the breeder has some | distinct aim in view, perhaps a color, stronger and taller flower stall sistance to disease, etc. Take the ama- yllis, for example. The Department of Agricul'.ure investigators aimed for a pure white variety, and finally secured it, but not by haphazard chance. Most blooms have male and female parts in the same flower. It becomes necessary to open the bud a few days before it would burst and remove the ! male portion, or anthers, covering. the bloom or blcoms with glassine sacks to prevent bees cr insects, oy even the wind, from bringing in strange pollen. | Then, when the flower is prime, pollen | must’ be transferred from the desired | male parent to the bagzed flower. Chances for viable seed are limited in many cases; sometimes no seed will form, and then the breeder must try other combinations until he attains suc- cess. In many species care is needed to harvest the seed pods before they break open and scatter the seed. Some kinds of seed need a rest before planting; others must be kept moist and sown immediately on ripening. For these reasons breeders generally concentrate on one cr two species, so that they may learn the various ities and re- quirements. Plant breeding is a great hobby if one likes to work with plants. The chances of fai'ure and, of course, success stimu- late the curiosity, but at the best it is no occupation for the gardener who wants immediate results. Plants s‘mply cannict be hurrizd. ARSENICAL SPRAYS l Arsenical sprays, especially those in | which lead arsenate is tife active agent, are now our principal means of ccm- bating chewing insects, such as the | codling moth, curculio, po.ato beetles, etc. Their use is not without danger to human beings and farm animmls, as is attested by the well founded agita- tion concerning spray residues on ap- ples, pears and various vegetables, such | as beans—in fact, on any plant where the sprayed portion is consumed. Chemical analysis has shown beyond doubt that it is possible to get enough spray on fruit to make its consumption hazardous unless it is cleaned by wash- ing in dilute acids, notably hydrochloric acid. This is a tedious process, the results of which have to be carefully checked to see that the purpose Las been actually accomplished, One of the mos. hopeful develop- ments is the discovery that certain | plant poisons are even mcre efficacious than arsenic in killing insects and at the same time are quite harmless to human beings. The Department of Agriculture and various commercial agencies are tirelessly working to de- velop sufficient supplies of these plant materials so that they may entirely | replace_the mineral poisons in spray- |ing. There is hope that by learning the chemical make-up of these plant | poiscns it will be possible to manu- | facture them in laboratories. | ‘That this step means much to home gardeners is beyond debate. The home | gardensr has no facilities for washing | his fruit and vegetables, so in a way {he is more vitally concerned than |large commercial producers that do have such equipment. Take the Mexi- can bean beetle problem, for instance. The plants and the beans have to be | sprayed or dusted many..times to pre- vent this_insect from destroyin the crops. The bazard of accumul too much arsenic on the bean pod.s l< evident. Hence the development of abundant and reasonably priced plant | poisons is of much concern to all gar- deners. We may confidently look for- ward to the time when the arsenic resi- due problem will be entirely removed by the simple expedient of substituting non-poisonous sprays or dusts. It cer- tainly will be a relief not to have such poisons around the home at all, for their presence is always a hazard to children and animals. Some interesting and valuable data cn the extent of the losses sed b varlous important insects are ted by J. A. Hyslop, entomologist in_charge of insect pest ourvey of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, in a recent mimeo- graph issued by the department. Con- sidering_only certain insects known to the suburban gardener, the losses caused by the codling moth in the United States are estimated at about $30,000,000 per year, peach borer treat- ment costs over $6,000,000, plum cur- culio caused $17,000,000, San Jose scale aboul $7,000,000 and the bean beetle over $1,000,000 damage. Such figures in themselves mean little, but they do show that insects are formidable enemies to man in his horticultural enterprises. In most cases the ccst of combnuns Inncu 1s relatively small compared to benefits accruing. In the same paper, 35 cents is deemed uate w wnr the .cost of arsenicals,and of lal tribution of spray not very good, but if spray is placed on the fcliage and in the unclosed calyx cups it will kill the tiny insects. After all, the insect is killed by the poison that it actually | consumes and not by the high pres- sure with which the spray may strike {1t. With patience and thoroughness the home gardener can accomplish a | very gocd task of protecting his fruit and vegeteble plants, even with modest | equipment, The following release from the press service of the Depariment of Agricul- ture contains valuable information on new and cld varieties of strawberries for the home garden: “People who avoid strawberries be- cause of their high acidity need not deny themselves the pleasure of eat- this luscious fruit if they will try some of the milder flavored varieties, such as the New York, the Marshal and the Chesa hundred varieties of in the United States, every locality and 'E:rpue, accord- ing to specialists of United States Department of Agriculture, who have classified them for the benefit of grow- ers and consumers. Of this large num- ber of varieties, however, only about 40 re grown commercially and 19 of these oommuw 96 per cent of the acreage. The _three rs—Klondike, Aroma and Howard 17—account for 63 per cent of the acreage in the country. “Climate and soil conditions are fac- tors that determine to a e extent the best varieties to grow in the differ- ent sections of the country. The Mis- slomr{ is the leading sort in Florida and along the Atlantic Coast to Mary- land. Most other parts of the South prefer the Klondike. The Blakemore, a new berry developed by the depart- ment, is becoming popular in the Caro- linas and as far north as New Jersey. “The Aroma is a favorite in most of the milder regions of the Central-States, including the northern part of Arkansas ahd Tennessee and the southern parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The Dunlap is popular in the remainder of the Middle West. In the Northwest, Marshall, Oregon, Ettersburg 121 and Clark are most widely grown, while the Howard 17 is king north of the Ohio anleowmnc and east of the Missis- sipp “In recent years varieties adapted to special purposes have taken their places by the side of the older ones. The Et- tersburg 121, grown in Washington and Oregon, is preferred by clnneu. ‘while the new Blakemore appears to be espe- cially good for preserving. The ice cream trade prefers the Marshall and Klondike. “New berries of strawberries are be- ing introduced constantly, the depln- ment says. Many of them possess n special value as compared with the wzll established varieties and most of them soon disappear from nurserymen's lists. Occasionally a new variety such as the Blakemore has merit enough to make a place for itself.” No less an authority than Frank A. ‘Waugh, landscape gardener and prolific writer, urges the use of apple trees as ornamentals. He asserts: “There are thousands of high-priced, long-named, so-called ornamental shrubs in the nur- seryman’s catalogue which aréd far in- ferior in quantity or beauty of flowers. The apple tree in blossom is fragrant, delightful, magnificent beyond descrip- tion.” Of course, one would scarcely recommend planting apple trees on small city lawns, but in the suburbs, where space is more abundant, an apple tree might often find a place. Prof. ‘Waugh adds that if one does not care for fruit, some of the flowering crabs have great beauty. Some of these, such as Bechtels crab, are without fruit of ;.xg'mklnd the blossoms abscising after some!lmzs young fruit trees are very slow to begin to blossom and bear, ‘This may be a quenlon of variety dif- ference or it may be that the young tree has devoted all its en=rgy to growth. If a ring of bark one-fourth to one- half inch in width is removed from one or two of the main limbs along about the end of May, these limbs are quite likely to celme into bloom ths: next Spring. One home gardener in the suhurhs succeeded in bringing a young Grimes Golden apple tree into blossom by this means. Not a single flower was found on the non-ringsd portions of this tree.

This should mean that many more hya- cinth bulbs will be planted this coming Autumn by local home owners. This is as it should be, because the hyacinth is a beautiful flower and the plant highly durable, inereasing in beauty from year to year, The black 'unut planting campais fostered by the Boy Scouts of America and other izations, has more than a unu.men species flnanotourmunm Fre: Dltorous & ""z:h"'é’«m;’ e Trowth: State ins Ferennials—Shasta Daisy, Pinks, 3 Aster.
