TEN NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURS, OREGON 'THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1948' With Care You Can Sow Now For Rowers in 1949 When it comet to towing seed, men have Improved on nature In some reaped. In preparing the seed bed, spacing the seed and covering It, they avoid the lavish waste which characterize na ture's melhodi. But In timing teed towing, nature's way It utually the best. Annual floweri drop their teed In late aummer and fall. Manv tall on hard toil, and fall to find cover; but those which do to will grow and. If hardy varieties, will produce superior plantt for next year's flowering. They bloom earlier than plantt grown from spring sown seed, and sturdier than those started In a green house. But to make every seed pro duce a plant, car must be taken to overcome numerous hazards. Seeds or seedling plants may drown in locations where water fails to drain off promptly; they may be washed out of the soil by heavy rains, or decay In toll that remains wet too long. Wherever several annuals commonly seed themselves, conditions are likely to be favorable for other varie ties. In a garden where no an nuals selfseed. It will be prudent to prepare a special bed for fall sowing, with the surface raised several inches to insure good drainage, and surrounded by a wooden curb several Inches high, to prevent rains washing over It. Vari.it.. auaaaat.d No. 1 candidate for fall sowing Is the annual larkspur. This Is flower that takes a long time to germinate, and demands cool weather In which to do it. It Is so hardy that when It drops seed in a favorable place, its tiny seed lings develop In the fall and live through the most severe winters unharmed. If possible, seed should be sown in the place where the flowers are wanted, since It is seldom practical to transplant this subject. Shirley popples, calliopsis, can dytuft, cosmos, the fragrant nicotians, and all colors of bach elor button are as hardy as oaks, and will grow from fall sown seed unless destroyed by one of the special winter hazards which have been mentioned. These alto are seldom trans planted. Since they grow with out difficulty from spring sown seed, there Is not the same need for fall sowing that exists with the annual larkspur, but plants from fall sowing give flowers earlier, and are much more vig orous than greenhouse or hot-bed in the spring, in the attempt to get early flowers. When bulbs are planted alone in heda or borders, hardy an nuals may he sown In the same place this fall, to blossom after the bulha haee flowered and their foliage has disappeared. Rows of hardy annuals suitable for cut flowers may be sown In the vegetable plot, after It has been spaded this fall. Anti-Communist Miners Return to French Pits ;: if A- s m WZ3 tNEA TeJes-eMj .

China's Russians Drop Red Papers SHANGHAI (JP) "I, Gennady L Kishko, hereby Hectare thai I have returned . . . my passport to the USSR Consulate and hereby do not consider myself a Soviet citizen and have applied to the Chinese government for a ttate less certificate ..." Such renunciations of Soviet citizenship are becoming increas ingly frequent in Shanghai's En glish-language dallies. The above ! appeared In the Shanghai Eve ning Post alongside a similar an nouncement by an Alexander Ko toff. In the morning papers there had been other announcements by other Russians declaring their preference for the uncertainties of a stateless status rather than continue to be Soviet citizens. The tide, which began shortly after V-J Dav with a wholesale acceptance of a blanket Soviet offer of citizenship by China's thousands of expatriate Russians, has begun to turn. Some sav the sharpening antagonism between the U. S. and the Soviet Union Is the cause. Others point up the re cent case of the Russian school teachers In New York as the Im mediate reason for surrendering nea passports. 'Drunk' Theory Advanced In Tragic Death of Birds BEND. Ore..

Jackson Berlin Commies Import Police To Tighten Blockade BERLIN. Oct. 21 (JPt The German anti Communist press saia yesieraay Benin s commu nists are importing 3.000 special police from the Russian occupa tion zone to strengthen their hand in this Soviet blockaded city. William T. Babcock, U. S. dep uty commandant, said American authorities could not confirm these figures. He said, however, that the Americans are aware the Communists are expanding their police forces throughout Eastern Germany, including Berlin. One Immediate use for expand ed police forces here, Babcock said Is to employ them in tighten ing of the Soviet blockade against Western Berlin. This blockade has now been ex tended to search of all vehicular, train and water traffic for con fiscation of foodstuffs and other allegedly "contraband" material being brought in by Germans from the Soviet zone. The antl-Communlsts have con tended these police are packed with Communist - indoctrinated former German soldiers and form a Communist Army to threaten western Germany if, and when, all occupation forces are with drawn from the country. Meanwhile, the Russian-licens ed News Agency ADN reported mat tnrougnoui tne soviet zone weapons were being handed to new groups of the People's Police. The arms were handed to the police by delegations of factory workers, which were described as 1 "symbolic of the close ties be tween the workers and their People's Police."

Add more sand if the top soil is heavy, thoroughly mix and run through a tt-inch mesh screen. Place each bulb so that Its point Is half an inch below the surface. Now it is necessary to allow the bulb to make roots; and for this purpose the pot must be plac ed in a dark and cool place, where it cannot freeze or dry out too much. A cold frame, where It can be covered with leaves, ashes or sand, will do. When placed in this storage the pot should be thoroughly soaked, and no further watering should be necessary. If stored in an in- door cellar or closet the soil should be prevented form drying out excessively. Root action will follow and when top growth be gins the pot may be brought in doors or kept In the storage place and so retarded until wanted. After being brought indoors the pot must be given all the light possible and kept in a tempera ture which averages 60 degrees until stems, leaves and flower buds are formed. After buds are formed a temperature of 70 de grees will bring out the flowers, and if haste is needed a higher temperature will produce it Hospitalization Sickness Accident Life Annuities BENEFICIAL SUaSarS Lift C.
