Simple Culture Bert
For African Violets
Sabs Ask Public Utility Operation Of Electric Power Plant Af Hanfcd
African violets make wonderful
house plants and are favorites of
many. Contrary to anything you
may hear about their being finicky,
they thrive under simple culture.
Unless you're raising a ' great
many African Violets, it is easier
to use the ready-mixed soil that is
available at garden supply stores.
However, if you prefer to start
from scratch, mix equal parts of
garden loam, sand and peat moss.
Before using the mixture, bake it
in a 180 degree oven for 30 min
utes. You can use any kind of pot that
has a bottom drainage hole but
plastic or glazed pots are best.
Unglazcd red clay pots sometimes
cause trouble, especially in regions
where the water is hard and be
cause the salts that form on the
rim may rot leaf stems resting
on it.
Before planting violets, clean all
pots thoroughly with soap and wa
ter. Put about a half-inch layer
of stones in the bottom to assure
good drainage. You should re-pot
them at least once a year in fresh
soil. Rough up the roots a little
to encourage new growth.
Much is said about the damage
done to African "iolcts' leaves by
watering the plant from above. Sun
shining on a wet leaf will cause
burning.
African violets should not be
over-watered, nor should the soil
be allowed to dry out. Twice-wock
ly watering is enough to keep the
soil in fine condition.
About every three to four weeks
treat your plants to a little plant
food. Use any liquid balanced
fertilizer recommended for Afri
can violets. Follow directions care'
fully. Over-feeding may make your
plants turn yellow and slop growing.-
African violets need a room
temperature of 70 to no more than
75 degrees during the day 60 to
OS at night. Let fresh air into the
room regularly, but keep the plants
out of cold drafts.
These plants require less light
than most house plants. You'll get
really fine blooms if your plants
are grown in an east, south or
west window where they get
good amount of light plus a little
direct sunlight. But don't overdo
it.
African violets need some time
to rest every year and do very lit
tle blooming in Uie summer. Con
tinue to care for them as you do
in other seasons hut don't feed and
water them quite as heavily.
There are hundreds and hundreds
of African violets and new ones
come along every year. Some of
them have distinct personalities-
others are so similar that it takes
an expert to tell them apart.
No matter. You will enjoy them
all.

WASHINGTON (UI'D Repub
lican House members from Wash
ington and Oregon joined tiiis week
in urging congressional support
for a plan to let a public utility i
group build and operate an elec- i
trie generating plant using sur
plus steam from the Hunford,
Wash., plutonium reactor.
Heps. Waller Norblad, R-Ore.,
Thor C. Tollefson, Tom Pelly and
Jack Westland, all it-Wash., and
Edwin R. Durno, H-Ore., en
dorsed remarks on the House
floor by Hep. Catherine May, R
Wasli., in which she said the plan
was a good one.
Their comments came shortly
before release of an Appropria
tions Committee hearing record
in which the plan was denounced
as a giveaway and praised as a
sound compromise on which the
taxpayers cannot lose.
According to the transcript,
Rep. John It. Pillion, R-N.Y., call
ed proposed charges for the sur
plus steam "altogether unrealis
tic" and unfair to the govern
ment, which is spending about
$195 million to build the plutonium
plant.
"It is a giveaway," Pillion told
Charles D. Luce, administrator of
the Bonneville Power Administra
tion which would distribute the
power.
Luce denied Pillion's contention,
arguing that steam used would
otherwise be wasted as a by
product heat from the plant.
Luce noted that the House three
times has refused to authorize use
of federal funds to build a steam
plant at Hanford, and that under
the current plan the entire cost
of about S100 million would be
home by the Washington Public
Power Supply System, compricing
16 Washington public utility dis
tricts. The government under the plan
eventually would recover the $25
million extra it is spending on the
plutonium plant to ready it for
possible dual purpose use. But
Pillion said other plant costs also
should be figured into the charges
for steam.
"It is not a giveaway," Luce
said. "It is a use of a resource
which otherwise will be wasted."
I Luce said he had heard it sug
gested that the utilities were
going lo gel run on me ucai.
However, he laid the proposed
agreement is such that the gov
ernment can take over the steam
plant at any time by paying off
the unamortized cost. Under this
plan the government eventually
I could take over the plant without
i charge. ,
Although no federal funds are
! needed, Interior Secretary Stewart
j L. Udall told the, appropriations
; group he would not go ahead with
) the plan unless House and Senate
1 appropriations committees a p-
' proved.
' Shortly before the hearings were
i released Mrs. May told the House
i the Hanford power plan is a good
'one and that Congress should give
'it its blessing. She said steam
payments over 24 years could re
turn as much as 5125 million to
1 the federal gocernment.
