ment officials will immediately start proceedure to find out whether such an order can be defied. Senator Borah says it can but that doesn't necessarily make it so. We ; should think that those who thus refuse to cooperate can be embarrassed in numerous ways, if , such action is decided upon. Governor McNutt has called a i meeting of the heads of t|ie state j universities, Indiana and Purdue and the teacher's colleges, Terre I Haute and Muncie to work out a j I program that will prevent overlapping of efforts and thus save many thousands of dollars to the state. It’s something that should have been done long ago and once inaugurated will prove satisfactory. President Rocsevelt is back of business and that Includes all kinds, farming, banking, manufacturing and merchandising and he is advocating better wages for the working men. He is not just talking but acting and we have faith in his ability. We feel certain that the 13.000.(K)0 army of unemployed will be cut in two this year and that will be a rather good start for the grea,t leader. Mr. Reno, of lowa, wants the farmers to strike, but we can t imagine very many of the men we know who have worked at agricultural pursuits, going on a loafing spree. It just isn't their make-up and most of them are watching the clouds and trying to dodge in between showers to do their spring! work. With prices stiAdily advancing, most of the serious difficulties are past. Among the improvements recommended here recently by an expert engineer was one that a central heating plant would prove a fine investment. It would and a fine convenience for those who installed it. No additional power would be necessary and the cost would be the layfrtg of the lines, providing work and immediately bringing a handsome revenue to the city. Any financial assistance required could be arranged, most probably, through the Federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation on long time and easy terms, enabling the improvement to more than carry itself. It looks sound and is certainly deserving of careful consideration. A picture of the plight of agriculture is given by the bureau of agricultural economics in a report on the farrti income last year, which was the lowest in twenty-three yeirs and which has declined 57 per cent in the last four years. The cash income of the farmers declined from 610,286,000,000 in 1929 j to 64.201,000.000 in 1932 and the | bureau points out that “income | available for farmers' capital, labor and management last year provided no return on investment and fell short by nearly 61,200,000,00 of paying the farm family for their labor even at the reduced wage rates for hired labor.” The farmer has had no purchasing power and the most drastic decline in expenditures was for farm machinery, building materials and fertilizer. It is reasonable to presume therefore that if he gets more money for his ; products, as now seems inevitable, these three Industries will be the first to benefit from <he increased purchasing power. Expenditures for farm machinery, tractors and repairs in 1932 were only 16 per cent of 1929 expenditures and for automobiles and trucks only 15 per cent of the buying in 1929. An Increase in the farm income is bound to be reflected all the way down the line.—Newcastle Courier-Times.

WAT IS HOME /nWW a • iOMOARDEN? Sow Penennial Seeds Early

Penennial seeds may be sown l from now up til mid June, but the I earlier they are sown the more certain will be a display next year. Few of the perennials bloom the first year from seed, t'he larksupri and platycodons being two which: will give a display from early sown j seed this year. Sow hardy perennials with the; earliest of hardy annual seed and ] success is much more certain next j year. The longer the growing sea- i som the larger and healthier will' be the spikes of bloom next year.! While many perennials sown in ‘ June or even as late as July will! give blooming plants another year,' only a portion of them will reach \ sufficient size to give characteristic | display. The peach leaved bellflow-1 er is one of the popular perennials that must be sown early or it will wait two years before giving a display. Plants which may be sown in June and July with the most certain prospect of bloom next year are the various hatdy pinks and i spurs sown in June and July are

Dahlias as Bedding Annuals

European growers, particularly, j English plant breeders, have taken , the dahlia in hand and instead of ■ j the huge types so popular with American gardeners are developing i the dahlii downward in stature a::d size of bloom to brilliant and easy grown bedding types. The forerun-1 < n r of this series wjs the Coltnesa hybrid, now fairly well known, as j easily grown as a zinnia, coming . into bloom early, even when plant I ed outside on May 1. and giving a wealth of single flowers of fair size in a brilliant range of colors. The original Coitaiess strain baa I b< -n greatly improved by selection so that It is now one of the finest of bedding annuals and a rival of the zinnia, the foliage bei: g more refined and ornamental.. It is also a very free blooming typ . There are quilled types resembling ! the cactus d ihJias in the Coltneas I development and English firms also off'.-r for the first time a dwarf growing peony flowered t.-pe, for ] which great things arc claimed, but this is yet to be tested in American gardens. I Try a packet of Coltness dahlias this year. Color* that you which to I toeeij and propagate may be saved ( as these dwarf annual dahlias form ~ tubers just as do the larger types ' end may bit kept ov-r and divided Jin precisely the same way.

! also among those which will be [•n asonably sure to make good another year. Gailardias are best sown soon as the ground is workable. The 1 biennials such as the foxglove, CanI terbury b?ll and chimney bell flowler need a long season to make I strong, healthy tufts. The height of ; the spire of the foxglove ls dependi ‘tit on the size of the rosette of I leaves it makes this year, so sow | it early. Perennial poppies need an eirly I start and transplanting as soon as I they have made two leaves to be- • 'vile -bloomers another season, i They must be moved when very ] small or they are almost imposI sibl’ to transplant without losing a large percentage of them They must be caught before they have s'-nt their tap root down too far. Columbines are best started now. Press the ground firmly over the seed and germination will be increased and speeded up considerably. All perennials are better for I eirly sowing and the order should ‘ go in with the list of annual seeds.

inches in diameter, with good steins and have becom? popular for cutting. Even the tall giant-flowered dahlias may be raised from seed to bloornk g size the same season without difficulty If the se. d Is started early indoors. In this way the new varieties a’e obtained. Seed of a fine strain is bound to give fine plants. Ther ■ may be a fine new virlety in your seedin g patch and at ny event you will have a fine collection of dahlias at small expense from which you may elect to propagate a stock of those found most beautiful. The growing of dahlias as antsuala Is one of the most interesting phases of growing garden annuals, the dwirf bedding types have one advantage. They come into bloom in July and August and an? not cut down by frosts befote doing their full duty as are the magnificent large tall growing types so frequently. » o N •r “Wi Tigers Enter Penn Relay* Philadelphia —(UP) —Princetoa’s powerful track team, which won all its dual meets last spring will compete in the annual Penn Relays on Franklin Field, April 28 and 29. . 0 Deaolata Land About one-fifth of Iceland is bab- ] (table.
