The Farmers And The Republicans Wonder if the Hoosier farmer has been convinced that his Republican Congress believes he is doing too well? ,.: , ; No comment is needed on the following figures, the first of which are quoted editorially in The Indianapolis News and the -second in a recent news dispatch from Washington. "One of .Roger Budrow's business stories in a recent issue of -The News dealt with an Indiana banker whose customers .are mostly 'farmers. The banker explained that these farmers have an average of between $3,000 and $4,000 on deposit with his institution. . . . 'Some ordinary farmers have $10,000 to $20,000 in their accounts,' said the banker, . 'and many have .bought land, fixed up their buildings and added equipment in the last few. years.' . . , ,. . . - .-- : "This is additional testimony, supporting the fact the Hoosier farmer has become a successful and substantial business man. Taking these farmers on the average, the investigator does not find a group that is working from hand to mouth, heavily in debt, living under deplorable conditions or' dreading the day when the mortgage', comes due.",. ' ; That, of course, is a far different 'picture than in 1933 .when Democrats came 'forward with a constructive, farm program. ( . .. .. . . . . . (; Now for the Washington, dispatch: -. "The House appropriations committee, - mainspring of tile Republican economy drive, has voted a reduction of $383,: 427,742 or 32 per cent in ; the Agriculture department's operating funds for the new fiscal year. The action was taken in the face of a warning by' Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson that it would cripple the farm program. It would leave the department about $805,143,576 for the; 12 months period beginning July 1. . . . Major reductions finally" approved by the committee jincluded Soil conservation $150,000,000, a reduction of $117,620,754 ; Farmers Home Administration, $81,000,000, a reduction of $99,000,000; crop insurance, $11,000,000, a reduction of $8,330,000; . animal industry, $15,615,697, a reduction of $6,304,803 ; research and marketing, $6,000,000, a reduction of $13,000,000. . !.:-..-, - "The Bureau of Economics, the Agriculture , department's statistical arm, was trimmed from - $2,493,000 to, . $1,743,000. , !: , : . .. ' Z "Completely wiped out was $35,000,000 for.farm tenant loans. This program enabled the government to make 100 per . cent loans to tenant farmers to buy their" own farms."

. June is a busy month for the gardener. I can keep at it until the ' weather gets hot. From then on, weeds and vegetables have to fight j it out among themselve$,. Neither, weeds nor water bother me toot much. If they can't survive our summers, it is just too bad.. There 1 are others .that can take it,, and life is too short to spend too much -time coddling plants that are too particular. "Pappy". Ward of Purdue advises against hoeing in the. morning. Or' dusting when the plants are wet with dew. 'Live and learn'; I'd always thought that was the proper, time. for both. . " ' : r '. ; j ,' Time now for the last "planting of . calliopsis, and . marigolds where the radishes .and lettuce have been harvested. Cornflowers and lovein-a-mist like warrn, weather, too. Have some zinnias and cosmps ready to replace the sweet ' corn as it is used, Any vacant space will soon be filled with weeds; .next year there , will be. a million weed seed ready to spring out at you over night. Any plant ' that doesn't mature with its fellows should . be pulled.' They are, probably diseased, or they would have matured, They never amount to anything; they do act. as a" multiplying place for all 'the pests that! afflict' their kind. ' ' . , Time to prune spirea, and ,fprsythia all shrubs that have '

I bloomed. Please, PLEASE, 'cut out spiiea from the, base.' So many I shear it flat across the. top.. The gracefully bending sprays . are the I

, . , Time , to divide. iris. I like to do this while it is in bloom, so I can be sure of the color I am getting. Iris can take it.; ; Time topropagate rock-garden, plants by cuttings. Sow the seed of columbines and' delphinium as it ripens. You will be surprised at the lustiness of the little plants. Maybe they like it for their home, too. (You get to thinking thoughts like that after you work with flowers for so long.)': ". -y . ' .Time to stake chrysanthemums. If there ever was a neglected flower, they are it. To do them right and as they deserve, they should be divided early in the spring. Then nip out the top when it is six oreight inches tall. Then this fall take off all buds except the crown bud of each of the four to six branches that grow from the

main' stem. There yoa have the kind of flower "you buy at the florist shop. : . . , "' -A Time to dig tulip bulbs. Either, mark the spot so you know . where to dig next fall, or reset them now as soon as the leaves die. The hot weather causes them to deteriorate, so don't leave them out 1

of the ground any longer. than necessary. That rule applies to all the lilies, too. - : ' ' 1 .' , Time to watch for the cabbage worm, plague-iake-em! Gotta dust once a weeH with." arsenate for them. No danger to you, since you remove the outer, leaves before'using. Sulphur for mildew and rust;. Black Leaf 40 will take care of aphis if applied at five day. intervals for three times. That is to catch the new brood. "Pappy" says to leave the first tomato worm. It will act as host for the parasites that will destroy all later worms. He probably is right; but I am filled with the lust to kill whenever I see one of - the ugly creatures. : -' - -. ' ... 'i - ' . .

j . 1 said it before and I say it again: Let's hope we ve had our j "blackberry winter"! ; And the river must have left some fish that I didn't know about it has come back for something or other!

They all gave varying directions about the woman . . ,

"Mahmoud," he'called. "Pull mV free.'

WALTER flung himself from his lathered horse and sought out Joseph of the Merrytotter. Joseph nodded at the story. "I'll get all my lads to help look for her." , . . -. Joseph's stout fellows spread out through London lanes and Walter took a district for himself. But when he found a group of loiterers who had seen and heard the woman they usually gave varying directions and some claimed it was "Will," she shouted while one stood put for "Alf'ud." Walter had covered his territory with no further trace of the mystery woman who called "Walter." He waited disconsolately at the Merrytotter for news of the others. A sound in the distance brought him to his feet. .. . . 2 Dashing from the house, Walter saw .Joseph. first. ..The man was tossing his hat in the air jubilantly, and leading Quite va procession. Immediately after him came a tall

. ebony figure leading a boy by the hand and behind them limped a woman in white. She called once, "Walter!" .. . "Maryam!" he cried.. He ran toward her. She raised her head and hurried forward. "At last I've found you.", Her strength was exhausted when they met and it was a limp burden that he. gathered .up in his arms. He started for Joseph's house as a voice cried, "Masser. Masser." ' , "Mahmoud," Walter said. "So you found me after .all." Then he discovered it was difficult to move. He looked down. A small boy had wrapped himself about one leg and ' was pounding him furiously. "Mahmoud," he called. "Pull me free of this angry little fellow." ''.'" Mahmoud put Walter, oh his shoulder. "He afraid 'you carry his mother off ," he said. W'alter.'sta'red.in amazement. "His mother! - It'carinot .be" But Mahmoud- nodded,

X v "What a long way I had to come," she said. ' grinning. "Big surprise. Son of family, this. Fine boy." An hour later, Maryam lay back in a comfortable bed with Walter's arm about her shoulders while he fed her warm soup. She whispered, "You are! really there? It wasn't a dream?" - "No, dear. You are home at last, beloved." ' For long moments they would gaze at each other with'a deep intensity, then they would smile and nod and smile again and finally blink to hold back tears of happiness. TJhen Walter got his son and held him on his knee. "I hopt you like the gift I brought you," Maryam saidU ; -"He is a splendid fellow. I have "great plans, for him." ::- She smiled. Mimicking the speech of Cathay, she said
