AL SMITH MAY STEP OUT SODN DN TALK TOUR Hundreds of Invitations Pour Into Albany Urging His Appearance. BY RAY TUCKER NEW YORK. March 22.—A na-tion-wide audience may soon see A1 Smith displaying the stuff that has made him a four-time Governor of New York. From advisers in all parts of the country the Governor has received suggestions that he make a formal bow to the people West of the Hudson River and below the Mason and Dixon line. Hundreds of invitations have poured into Albany daily from the most amazing variety of conventions, associations and national bodies. They have come from business and professional men, civic groups, political organizations and even sunshine societies. Turns Down All Invitations So far he has turend down all invitations, keeping the promise made in his 1927 inaugural address, which was to stick to his knitting as Governor. Both he and his friends argue that a good record at Albany will be his strongest asset when he is placed in nomination at Houston in June. He will not wage what is known as an aggressive campaign, and will make no obvious bid for publicity. He will not even let his name be used in the California primary'. But anew note of warning has been sounded by close advisers returning from the Eolith and West. These assert Smith is now thought of only in terms of wet and dry. Catholic and anti-Catholic, Tammany and anti-Tammany. In many sections of the country. Smith has been told, mention of his candidacy precipitates nothing but discussions revolving around these subjects. May Speak in May It has been suggested that an address by Smith on a subject of national or general interest might help to set people thinking of him as a national figure for other and better reasons. It is understood Smith is giving serious thought to this argument. He will be occupied at Albany until the middle of April with consideration of measures passed before adjournment of the legislature. Then he may be willing to step out of New York. He has tentatively declined an invitation to address a convention of 3,500 social welfare workers at Memphis on May 5. but in view of his emphasis on the social side of government, some of his advisers feel this meeting would furnish an ideal opportunity for letting the people see and hear him.

Perennials Are Best Source for Cut Flowers

Once Planted They Thrive for Years; Peonies and Annuals Popular. This is the fifth of a series of spring planting interviews with Assistant Park superintendent Georse Morgan, appearing in The Times. “Perennial plants, which die down to the ground every winter, are the best source left of cut flowers," declared Assistant Park Superintendent George Morgan. “When planted once they will thrive and produce flowers for years. They are best located along the edge of shrubbery border or in the garden. Select a site with good soil which will be exposed to lots of sunlight. Prepare the entire area where the planting is to be done, working into the soil as it is cultivated, a liberal quantity of well rotted manure,” Morgan advised. The plants should be arranged according to their heights and color combinations. Plant Varieties in Groups Provide enough varieties to produce bloom continuously from spring until fall. Avoid too strikigg color contrasts. Plant varieties in groups and not singly. Use at least three to five or more of a single variety. A much richer effect Is gained in this way. The average distance of planting is about one foot apart. The taller growing varieties stand farther apart arG the dwarfs closer together. Keep the plants well mulched and watered during the summer season. "In late fall after the plants have died down and the ground frozen, cover the beds with leaves or straw. This protects the plants from alternate freezing and thawing, which is very detrimental in that it injures the root system, oftentimes exposing the roots entirely. Fertilize the beds each spring by working well rottea manure or some other good fertilizer in the soil.” Keep beds free from weeds during the entire season. Shasta daisies, peonies and phlox are good examples of perennial flowers. Plant Peonies in Fall Since they arc so desirable and so many inquiries have been made regarding peonies the following suggestions are given: To secure the best and largest blooms select a good veil-drained soil. Prepare the area to be planted some time in advance, cultivate well to a depth of about eighteen inches

to insure the best results. Place five or six inches of well rotted cow manure in the bottom and cover with four or five inches of soil to prevent direct contact with the roots. Peonies are best planted, in September and October, but spring planting is oftentimes done and if so place divisions in the ground in early spring. Plant two or three feet apart and about three inches under the surface. Peonies are extremely hardy and do not require much protection after the firzt year. After the plants are established, cultivate each spring to a depth of one or two inches, working into the soil some wellrotted manure and bone meal, being sure that the fertilizer does not come in contact with the crown of the plant. Peonies throw out a lot ol moisture, and after the buds have formed, an application of liquid manure will produce larger and more brilliant blooms. To get the largest flowers, pick off all the lateral buds and permit only the top ones to develop. Annuals Most Economical "Every one who has had a garden has grown some of the many varieties of annuals, such as zennias, asters and sweet peas,” said Morgan. “Annuals supply the most economical source of cut flowers. The fact that they die down every fall makes it necessary that they be planted each spring. It is desirable that the beds be renewed each fall by cultivating thoroughly and working in a liberal quantity of wellrotted manure. “In the spring cultivate the soil and level, removing all heavy clods and any foreign material present. Plant seeds after danger of frost has passed. Sow fine seeds on top of soil and sprinkle lightly with dirt and firm gently. "Larger seeds should be covered on an average to a depth equal to the width of the seed. "Sweet peas are planted about one and one-half inches deep and zennias about one-half inch deep. "To insure extremely early flowers, seeds may be started indoors and transplanted to the open as soon as the danger of frost is passed. When plants are two or three inches high, thin out to provide growing space for those thst remain. Keep plants well watered throughout season and keep beds free from weed?.

HOOVER MAY BE CALLED BY COAL PROBERS Witness Says Secretary Regarded Abrogated Pact Binding. BY KENNETH CRAWFORD United Tress Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 22.—Th® possibility that Secretary of Commerce Hoover will be asked to testify at the Senate coal investigation was revived today as the Inter state Commerce Committee sought a solution for the economic problems involved in the soft coal strike. Van A. Bittner, United Mine workers’ counsel in West Virginia, testified late Wednesday that Hoover told him in 1926, he considered the Baltimore wage contract, abrogated by several companies, a binding obligation and suggested court action to enforce its terms. John D. Rockefeller Jr., Charles M. Schwab and R. B. Mellon, all subpoenaed by the committee, are expected to testify, Friday. Governor John Fisher of Pennsylvania probably will testify next week and Hoover may be called later. Non-resident landlords have a “stranglehold” on the State of West Virginia, Van A. Bittner. United Mine Workers representative, tolcl the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee today. Bittner read a statement by T. C. Townsend, former West Virginia tax commissioner, attacking the system of “absentee landlordism” said to prevail in the State. One-half the land in West Virginia is owned by corporations in other States, Townsend's statement said, and the part owned by absentees is worth five times as much as the portion owned by residents, yet residents pay twice as much in taxes as the corporations. President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers interrupted the hearing to ask that counsel for Ohio operators agree to postpone an eviction suit scheduled for hearing in a Federal court at Columbus next Saturday. William Beldon, counsel for the operators involved, refused to agree to a delay, but after a heated argument with Lewis he promised to communicate with his Ohio clients. The committee decided in executive session to write another letter to Governor John Fisher of Pennsylvania asking him to testify.
