Berlin Stores'

Wilson Experiences Dlack
Out as Air Raid Drill
Is Practiced -
By C. B. WILSON
Yes, it really Is true that ex
pressing opinions on national
problems Is entirely avoided W
Berlin. At least It was when L
was there in September. .
After Chancellor Hitler made
his address Sept. 12, I was an
xious to know, without waiting
a day for English papers, Just
what he said. : ;
A prominent tourist official
whom I asked, hesitated and
then said he did not hear the
talk by radio- Had he read the
German papers? No he had not,
nor had he heard anyone talk.
Then I tried a steamship official
and he was equally ignorant.
Won't Take Money
They are equally afraid to
touch tourist money, unless oyu
are spending it with them.
Before starting for Copenha
gen, Denmark, I had 30 Ger
man marks. No one Is allowed
IZjAo take out more than ten. At
that time I icxpected to return
to Berlin for a few days. One
tourist agency regretted it could
mot keep those 20 marks until
I called for them.
Another tourist agency also
side-stepped keeping the money
for me, but suggested I go to a
steamship agency. Here again
"was the same result, fearing
trouble might result in holding
about $S worth of German marks
. a couple of weeks for me. My
hotel also refused : to hold the
money.. ,
Silver for Currency :
So I took it with me and all
that happend was that when I
. made my declaration of money
at the German frontier, the of
ficial, just gave me 20 marks in
silver in exchange for the 20 in
currency.
I now bear 28 German marks
worth 40 cents each and travel
lers are allowed to enter Ger
many with 30 Should I not re
tarn to Germany,, there will be
. several German souvenirs in my
pocket. This letter is written
from Copenhagen, Denmark, i
Business was good in Berlin
in September. Stores and espec
ially food svres, have most at
tractive window displays. Every
body is busy; No begging on the
streets anywhere.
The famous 3 street Unter den
Linden, is-197- feet wide. The
old trees are AH gone and now
four rows of lindens of few years
growth line a mile of this great
parade street.
Many Maps Displayed
Bookstores display maps of
Germany showing how Czecho-
Slovakia enters into almost the
center near "Dresden. Books; of
war nature also are displayed.
Before the tomb o the Un
known Sol.iipr on Tlnter 1mi T.ln-
den street, changing of , the guard
is a spectacular event, always
at 12:30 o'clock.
On Sept. ,13, about 250 regu
lar army soldiers marched past
the tomb in regulation goose
step. The parade was led by a
drum corps of 80 and a military
band of 50. Commands were-given
by an officer on horseback.

'' 't.-.-w . .. -J!' .
In anticipation of possible war. Great Britain pre
pares. Orders have been Issued for the immediate
distribution of gas masks to the civilian population
of nearly all London, Liverpool, Leeds and New
orations. Candle sticks are tall
so ; as not to obscure vision. To
each plate are four wine glasses,
three fourks, three knives and
four spoons. Chairs are all gild
ed in gold and upholstered in
crimson damask. The state table
is set for two on each end and
15 to the side.
If the Cherrians want a new
drill, they might adopt the spade
exercises of new army recruits.
There is also the goosestep, a
pretty vigorous exercise, but sure
to attract attention. This is not
a recommendation. Just telling
what I saw.
The Royal Palace and such
places must be pretty cold in
winter. They are heated only by
open fireplaces and big porce
lain charcoal stoves.
In Berlin everybody give's the
nazi salute, when ? passing, when

goodbye. j

Animal - Fertilizer May
of Bulbs, if Properly Handled
. By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Answers to inquiries:
Yes, it Is possible to incorpo
rate animal fertilizer in the gar
den where bulbs are planted with-
o u t injury to
them. But the
fertilizer must
not come in con
tact with the
bulbs thein
selves. Dried
sheep manure is
s a i d to be the
best. The New
York Botanical
Garden advo
cates this meth
od: Mix' a handful
of the sheep ma
nure with the
very bottom soil in a trench or
natch of loose soil. Then add two
- w -:fi
inches of soil without the ferti
lizer. Place the bulbs on this, and
mix some wood ashes with the
top soil that covers the bulbs. This
is an excellent treatment that cov
ers the bulbs. Thi3 is an excel
lent treatment for very poor soil
or for gardens in which exhibition
blooms are to be grown. The bul
letin by the Botanical Garden op
poses using animal fertilizer In
ordinary good garden soil.
Other points the New York Bo
tanical Garden give are: Most
bulbs must be covered one-and-one-half
their own depth from the j
bottom of the bulb to where the
neck begins. The rule will apply
to any bulb, the garden bulletin
reports.! However, I find some
lily growers differing. . Some lily
bulbs are planted much" deeper
than others even If they are all
the same size.
Don't Mulch Bulbs Now
Mrs. K. D. R. should not mulch
her bulbs this early. Too early a
mulch will attract mice, it is said.
In choosin: bulbs, don't, as one
gardener suggested to me last
week, buy mixed ones by the bulb.
That is. unless you are buying for
naturalizing and are buying from
a good dealer who will sell cor
rect mixture? for this purpose.
Otherwise select the bulbs you
want from a well-known reliable
dealer, i It is much better to spend
your money on a few good bulbs
than purchase great quantities of
poor bulb and poor varieties. (
A good selection is said to in
clude some trumpet varieties, in
white, bi-colored and yellow;
some flat-cupped varieties; some
of the white group and some po
eticus;;Bome bunch-flowered and
a few double ones. Some good
varieties are Harvest Moon, Mme.
Van Waveren a very large one;
the well-known King Alfred,
which is large and- a very clear
yellow; E -iperor and Olympia are
among the good old reliable trum
pets. An early short-cupped one
is Helios. Orange Glow is one ot
the good newer sorts and so is
Red Cross. A good Leedsli is Mi
t y 1 e n e; and Tenedos Is a very
good large white Leedsil. I have
n't happened to see the double
Mary Copeland but it is said to be
a double white with a red center.
Among the short ones, quite suit
able for the front of borders or In
the rock garden, are: Haemon,
Thalia, Fair Alice.
Cut Fuded Phlox ?
O. T.: Choice phlox will jaot re
vert to the much disliked magen
ta. Too frequently gardeners per
mit their good varieties to go- to
seed, the seed will drop, come up
and replace the original stock The
young plants are husky and vigo
rous and will quickly crowd out
the older and more delicate hy
brid i varieties. Cut the faded
flowers? from your phlox as soon
as they do fade. It Is better
treatment fo- the plants them
selves. , - -
Mrs. A. W. w a n t s to know
something about the Allium Nea
poiitanum. This is one of. the on
Onlon. It does not have any
objectionable onion odor and
any objectionable onion odor and
its white flowers are good cut
flowers. Another good onion is
A. Odorum, which grows two feet
tall. bears white flowers and
bloom for six weeks from the last
of June Into early August.
E. R.: There is a hardy Cycla
men,, known s C. Europaeum. J.
Horace McFarland reports this as
a "coppice plant from Switzer
land" and that It Is "one f our
rarest garden treasures." ', It

should have partial shade, sandy
leaf-mould and a little lime add
ed to the soil. It also demands
considerable moisture. Shady
nooks in th rockery where it can
be set two inches deep, form good
planting space for this very at
tractive flower.
Grape Hyacinths should go into
the ground this fall. They need
room to spread if they are to be
at their best. The white form is
very good and not seen nearly as
often as is the blue variety.
Multiplies Rapidly
Star-of-Bethlehem also multi
plies rapidly. It bears white star
shaped flowers on grass-like foli
age. The foliage disappears early
in the season. The bulbs should
be planted now, about two IncheB
deep.
Certainly, Wake-Robins will
grow here, "Minnesota Family."
We commonly refer to them by
their name "Trillium," although
I think the Wake-Robin a vefy at
tractive name. They grow very
well without any attention in
home gardens. The bulbs should
be planted in the fall. They need
partial shade and take root best
in deep leaf mold. There are a
number of growers from whom
the rhizomes can be obtained.
Peonies should be planted now,
A. J. II. ' Inasmuch as so many
gardeners complain of their lack
of success with peonies, it might
be well to take a little more care
in their start. Select good roots.
Prepare the soil properly. A clay
loam is perfect for their require
ments, we are told. Do not plant
them near trees or shrubs. Too
much sun all day long will tend
to fade the brighter blooms. It
the soil is too heavy lighten It
with peat moss or sand. The bed
should be dug at least three feet
deep. Good drainage should be
assured. The root should be so
that the top eye is exactly two
inches beneath the surface of the
soil. The roots should be set
three feet apart.
It will not hurt to give the
house fern an occasional light
feeding of bonemeal worked into
the soil. A tablespoonful of
household amonia mixed with a
gallon of water is also beneficial.
White Heathers Here
White heathers may be obtain
ed at a number of places. If those
who have been asking me for ad
dresses along this line will send
me a stamped, self-addressed en
velope I'll mall same. White
heather may be set out now. There
are a! number of white heathers:
The early white called Alba; the
taller form. Alba Erecta and the
more dwarf f o r m , Alba Minor.
Hammond! is another white of
very robust growth. A -tall, lato
white, loosely put together heath
er Is Searlil. There are also good
reds and good pink heathers dif
ferent from the common one we
see most frequently. Heathers are
good along the outside of rhodo
dendrons and axaleas bulbs. They
like a well-drained acid soil. Most
of the heathers enjoy a little
breeze blowing through them,
i The Bittersweet had best be
purchas d from one of the grow
ers. Mo3t of those who carry it
offer two " varieties, the Oriental
snd the American. Both - have
brilliant red and yellow fruit In
autumn . - -;
Weigelias come in red, white
and rose colored varieties. The
white is very lovely but not used
as frequently as one would like
to see.

Faith in Prune
Is -No. 1 Crop Says Grower
for 30 Years Despite
low Prices now
Prunes yes, the same prunes
which many valley orchardists
will declare are the big bad boy
of the tree fruit realm, are the
No. 1 farm crop, take it year In
and year, out in the eyes of Wil
liam McKUlop of the Scotts Mills
area.
And McKIllop ought to know.
for he's been at prune raising
some third of a century. What's
more,' right now when he still car
ries a lingering headache of 1938
prune prices that wouldn't buy
bread let alone angel food cake,
he still says prunes are the best
bet.
The sentiments were echoed by
his oldest son. .Jess; and three
more sons all have farms in which
prune orchards have been planted
snd are being added to as cond
tions warrant.
Market Big Trouble
McKIllop makes ralsinsrprunes
virtually a -year-arountKbusiness;
so do his sons
"Raising prunes isn't what
bothers ns; thatrs less than half
the battle. It's getting something
out of thsnt on the market that's
the worksoms years," speaks up
Jess.
Prune trees aren't profitable
after 25years, and should be tak
f en out at the end of that time, the
elder, McKIllop believes. Many
prune orchards right around
where he lives are composed of
trees 10 or 15 years older than
McKillop'a .deadline but the crop
isn't there. He feels that after
25 years the root growth isn't sat
isfactory for a g o o d producing
tree.
Watch Trees Carefully
The McKlilops watch their trees
and soil closely for the most
dreaded prune pests, especially
the peach root borer. They prune
religiously each year and spray at
once with lime and sulphur
In the fall, they sow a cover
crop of vetch or peas and plow
under in the spring
-Each year finds some trees add
ed and some deleted, with the ad
dition? always ahead of the sub
tractions. In the matter of just
pruning, .McKillop prefers to do
his thinning out unusually late in
the winter
.The best crop he has picked has
been 540,000 pounds from 40
acres. But such crops come only
about once every eight years
Some- years, as for instance the
harvest just finished the crop isn't
more than a fourth of normal
But still McKillop pins his faith
in prunes. He's had 30 or 40
acres in walnuts, some of them in
the ground for 18 years, and
prunes have made a heap more
money, comparatively speaking,
for him than walnuts. Blight
seems to get them in his location,
though wain u t orchards not a
great distance from his farm pro
duce excellent nuts.
Fresh Fruit Sales Help
When McKillop moved to the
farm, located about five miles
southwest of Scotts Milla, the
place was mostly brush, stumps
and trees and in the first years
as he could clear land he planted
to prunes exclusively and until
recent years dried all his own crop
in his own drier. Now the fresh
fruit market, which means a lot
less work and just as much cash
returns, has put the drier out of
the picture.
The McKlilops will tell you
they haven't made a mint of mon
ey from prunes, but their prunes
have provided the wherewithal to
send their four sons to high school
and subsequently to purchase
farm land for them, Jess and
John's farms being near the par
ents' place and Clyde and Ray's
at Briar Nob, a nearby district.
Which should be plenty good
reasons for any man to stick by
prunes if he wants to, even if
many other prune growers wish
their trees could be consigned to
Sudetenland.
Opening Filbert
Price Is Higher
DUNDEE A strengthening of
filbert prices, following field esti
mates which' indicate that the
1938 crop will be slightly less
than the 1937 harvest is an
nounced by , the North . Pacific
Nut Growers' cooperative, the
nation's largest producer and
packer of the filbert.
Opening market prices on 1938
Norpac filberts, established by
the cooperative, average about 1
cent higher than 1937 prices.
This year will mark the first time
in more than a decade that the
filbert harvest has not surpassed
the previous year's crop.
Apparently owing to poor poJ
lesixation, old trees are bearing
only 50 to 75 per cent of normal,
while younger trees have crops of
about 90 per cent normal.

public instruction of Iowa, to
whom I went to school , for two
years, delicately Insinuated a
number of times that I might
make a favorable showing as the
champion dumbell in mathematics
were I to make a sligh' effort.
Professor Knoepfler, by the way,
was a grand man. He died while
a member of the faculty at the
Iowa teachers college at Cedar
Falls. We got along first rate,
despite the mathematics. When
I finished high school, which 1
did without any noticeable display
of garlands, I went to work on a
country weekly. I don't know
why, but I liked that job in what
an editorial writer on the New
York Sun once referred to as the
"good old lazy atmosphere of a
country newspaper office." I per
formed in the neighborhood of
400 separate and distinct duties
in that lazy old atmosphere every
day (estimated) and, incidentally
and as a sort of relaxation, I cov
ered the news field thoroughly. I
presume, it I cared to do so, which
I do not, I could qualify as the
champion mentioner in print ot

colts (that was during a horse
craze our farmers had). Also, I
might make a good showing in a
championship contest for the writ

No class distinction. There are

some sort during their stay here.
Many a beautiful life has been
unsung, even to the extent of a
brief hymn of praise somewhat
off the key. That was in another
day. In my present state of mind,
I am not so sure that It makes
any great difference whether our
little life stories are put into print
or not.

About Stamps
By DORIS HAROLD
Hello, Fellow Collectors:
The new 14-cent stamp of the
new regular series is to be placed
on first-day sale October 6, at
Washington, DC. It will beprint
ed In blue and bear the portrait
of Franklin Pierce.
The Air Mail service has re
cently announced some new
routes. In the near future air
mail service AM-42 will be In
augurated from Houston, Tex
as, via Corpus Christ!, Texas, to
Brownsville, Texas, and from
Houston, Texas, to San Antonio,
Texas.
Separate Cachets
A separate cachet design will
be given at each city besides the
regular cachet. In order to re
ceive these special cachets cov
ers should be forwarded to the
postmasters of these cities. Be
sure to apply 6-cent postage and
carefully address your covers
before sending the mto the post
masters. Persons desiring direc
tional flights should indicate the
flight desired, such as "Crpns
Christi south" or 'Houston to
San Antonio." -
The Brownsville cachet with
the air mail field postmark will
be applied only on special re
quest. Send these covers to Post
master, , Brownsville, Texas, with
a request that they be held tor
first flight and special cachet.
Austriaa stamps Sought
Austrian stamps are very much
in demand at' present. Some of
the high values are both expen
sive and scarce,' as most collect
ors and dealers are holding all
the Austrian stamps they can
obtain. .
During the recent war scare it
looked as though Czechoslovak
Ian stamps might become scarce,
snd they may even yet. These
small European countries stamps
are much easier to obtain over
there than in the US. They are
also much cheaper. Mixed pack
ets are reasonable in both Ger-
l.many and Italy at present.

TALMADGE
sge at the time of his death
was
60, probably a few years more.
In his active days hr saved bis
money, against thevil days that
were to come, and ; when those
days came hewas prepared for
them. The luter days of his life
were apparently ideal from his
viewpoint. He loafed them out,
pleasantly for the most part, 1
thurk, although a period of sev-
nionths spent in a hospital.
recovering from a stroke of pa
ralysis, was probably not entirely
pleasant, although more so than
it would have been had he not
possesred the means to pay his
way. Excepting the . hospital ex
perience, his waking h o u r a for
years were largely spent on the
streets, and he was a familiar fig
ure to many who did not so much
asj know his name: He took no
part in civic affairs. Was always
affable. He had nothing to do,
and he was apparently happy In
the doing of it. He lived in ac
cord with the spirit of his own
philosophy, and found it satisfy
ing. Who will say that he could
have done better?
It now appears that the World
war is to be held off until after
the world series. Everything has
its purpose. A. battle line is good
for hanging uniforms on.
It was Joe E. Brown, the clown
of the campus, who delivered a
severe lecture to a young woman
who stopped her car near his.
"You shouldn't park your car
there, lady," he said. "Somebody's
liable to come along and smack
your rear end." T
I learn with interest from a let
ter received late in the week that
Joseph M. Portal, of the we& side,
is home from a stay of. four
months in Europe. I shall be
glad to pass Mr. Portal's impres
sion of conditions in Europe later.
But I am not going to postpone a
reprint of one paragraph in the
letter. This paragraph is as fol
lows "I note what you've, to say
