' Light Wines And Beer Seen As - Legalized In Next U.S. Congress Philadelphia, April 29. (C.P.)-- | Light wines and beer may be legals ized in the mext Congress in the opinion of organized Labor's anti- prohibition committee which opened its first annual conference here to- | day. Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, and I. M. Ornburn, president of the Cigarmakers' International Union, authors of' a congressional survey, claimed a majority in both Houses of Congress for modification of the Volstead Act. They claim that on- ly 17 members of the Senate and 48 Representatives are prohibition die-hards. During the two-day convention of Labor's national committee for mod- ification of the Volstead Act, Orn- burn, who is secretary of that com- mittee, will read the report of the congressional survey to the dele- gates. 'Woll is president of the committee. The report expressed the belief that the people of the nation favor modification of the dry laws and added: ee " "We would never have been both- ered with such legislation as prohi- bition, had the American people ever imagined its passage would have resulted in the transfer of the corner saloon to the home, in the corruption of our youth, apparent corraption of our judiciary and en- forcement officers and creation of bootleggers, gangsters and racket- cers. ! Aylmer Products Are Scld by Superior Stores "There are few services which can be rendered in these days of de- 'pression which will be more helpful to so great a number, as prevajling upon the Congress to modify the Volstead Act. Our survey indi- cates that victory is in sight if those who have voluntarily enlisted in this cause will make their wishes known to the Senators and Con- gressmen from their states." MOSCOW ACCEPTS LEAGUE INVITATION Moscow, April 30.--Soviet Rus- sia is willing to participate in the forthcoming session of the League of Nations Commission studying a Buropean Union, Maxim Litvinov, Foreign Commissar, said in reply to the League invitation. Litvinov intimated, however, that the Government was not en- tirely sympathetic with the man- ner in which the League had asked the Soviet to participate. The invitation to the third ses- sion of the commission at Geneva next month, he said, 'apparently in intended to provoke our re- fusal.'"" He pointed out that the Soviet Union was invited to par- ticipate only in discussion of the third question on the agenda, namley, the world economic erisis. Litvinov said that there was no reason why Iceland, 'Turkey and the Soviet Union should be aumit- ted to the session merely. to dis- cuss the economic crisis, since any Government had the right to exs press its attitude on the form of the Union's constitution and other matters pertaining to the commis- sion. The Foreign Commissar ex- pressed wonder as to what grounds the League based its '"discrimina- tory invitation". He said, how- ever, that the Soviet delegation would be ready to arrive between May 15 and 26, provided a more specific date were given. _ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1931 e . a] oS _-Gordon Lindsay Srith- EARLY WORK : Usually the beginner is inclined to be too eager and get some things lantal long before the right time, e, there are a few vegetables, and one or two flowers which can hardly be planted too early, but these are easily remembered. In the Yegetable line, we have leaf lettuce, ons (including onion sets), spin- ach, radish, cress and similar things. These can go in just as soon as the ground is ready, and will weather any amount of cold and wet. Peas are another crop it is well to get in first thing in the spring. Once upon a time they were listed with tender crops like beans and were not plant- ed until after danger from frost had passed. Whoever was responsible for this procedure was neither a green pea enthusiast ror an agricul- tural expert. It has been establish- ed over and over again that the first sown peas are the heaviest croppers. You can get proof from either the experienced farmer who knows snow and cold weather following planting is a distinct advantage, and that there is practically no danger of the seed rotting or the planus freez- ing, or you can get facts and fig- ures from the nearest Government Experimental station where you will discover that almost invariably the earlier you sow peas the larger the crop. If the ground is fit to plant you can put half your péas, radish, cress, spinach and some of your let- tuce in quite safely, and if the wea- ther continues favorable make a sec- ond sowing in about ten days to two weeks. ith peas, radish and spin- ach, early sowing is imperative, and successional sowing, that is planting four or five times at ten day inter- vals, is not recommended. These vegetables must get their growth early, while soil is wet and cool, and before the weather turns warm. In order to make the crop last as long as possible instead of successional sawing rely on varieties, that is, get | [0] AN [1] 3 CHeotaful FOOD and a Tonic DRINK. = BVO S ¢ Pd ~~ - 35 Men's Fancy Tweed and Worsted Suits, all Colors, Sizes 35-46.

In this way, you will have a long season. In the flower line, one can safely sow those things that ordinarily seed themsel- ves, just as soon as one can walk over the ground. These include cos- mos, calliopsis, poppies, calendulas, and a few other extra hardy flowers, They grow rapidly in the cool, wet weather of early Spring. But for other vegetables and flowers one should not ke in a hurry. Zinnias, asters, marigolds, stocks, and other beautiful bloomers, as well as such delicious vegetables as beans, beets, corn, tomatoes, fabbage and new po- tatoes, will make decidedly more sat- isfactory growth if sown or set out when weather and soil really warm up, rather than if rushed in too soon. Watch The Soil. Too much stress cannot be laid on the condition of the soil. Gardening, like fishing, golf and other hobbies, develops, apparently, a bit of fever, and under its influence one is in- clined to rush in much too soon. The soil should not be worked un- less it crumbles when squeezed in the hand. If it compacts into a ball or muddies the boots, it is too wet and should be left alone, If worked then, it will bake later on, become lumpy and the plants will not germ- inate and grow evenly. If you must dig at this time, take it out in post- holes. Sweet Peas. In recent years, some of us have found. difficulty in growing sweet peas, but if we follow a few simple directions, we should not have any trouble in producing this, one of the most beautiful flowers for bouquets, Like the ordinary garden. pea, we must plant early, Indeed, in the case of the sweet pea there is abso- lutely no danger of sowing too soon, and the best time is during the first few warm days. In warmer sections of Canada, it is possible to sow in the fall. On account of the neces- sity of earliness, it is well to select the earliest soil in the garden. Often you can dig one spot while the rest "pof the place is under snow and wat. er. Put your sweet peas here, no matter where it is. As a matter of fact, sweef peas are a flower for eut- ting, and we do not mind if they arg 'grown among the vegetables. They do even better here, receiving the regular vegetable garden culti- vation. Plenty of humus, well-rot- ted vegetable material, is important for this plant, so that roots can de- velop freely, and in the cool, lower soil. Dig a trench about a foot deep, ut in a six-inch layer of rotted eaves or old manure and tramp down well. Add two inches of good garden soil, and you are ready to sow. Space seed about four inches apart. As the plants grow gradual- ly fill in the rest of the trench, This will encourage -maximam root growth in cool soil. Support must be furnished in the way of strings, --an old tennis net answers fairly well--brush, or wire. In Eastern Canada, sweet peas will climb three or four feet, but much more than this in Alberta and B.C. A little quickly available fertilizer applied twice during the growing season, worked into the soil without actual. ly touching the plants, and heavy watering dufing dry weather are ne- cessary to keep the flowers blooming continuously, SCREENING MATERIALS It is remarkable what can be done in the way of developing a view {rom the windows or verandah where lawns and flower gardens lgad up to shrubbery and rose-cov- ered trelises. Unsightly high board fences, garages, dog kennels, and chicken-houses which seem to loom up so prominently from every angle can be easily screened. Shrubbery, evergreens, and tall annuals are used, and also climbers such as Bos. ton ivy, and the climbing type of Virginia creeper which will provide their own support and stick right to the walls, or Dutchman's pipe, che- matis and chimbing roses. the latter do best if supported on a trellis a foot or more in front of the wall. This allows more circulation of air, the reflected heat from the wall turely. Where one does not own the place and does not want to go to the expense of making permanent plantings, very beautiful back- grounds may be secured by using such annual climbers as scarlet run ners. hyacinth beans, hops, morning glories, climbing nasturtiums, and similar things. Some of these, fully described in any seed catalogue, will soon climb 20 feet. For a standing annual screen, Mexican sunflowers, dahlias, four o'clocks, cosmos, giant zinnias, castor ofl plants. African marigolds. and larkspur are advo- cated. These will give a screen of from two and half to seven feet, de. pending on which flower {is-used, and will make a good substitute for permapent shrubbery and small reds. THESE ARE EASILY GROWN For the person who wants a good show of annual flowers but who is not any too familiar with the diffen- ent varieties, the following Mst is suggested for general satisfaction. Caliopsis, Linum, Scabiasa, Cosmos, Bachelor's Button; the seed of these can be sown direct in the ear- ly spring; Marigolds, Phlox, Zin- nias, Snapdragons; these can be planted direct as seed or small plants used. Asters and Petunias are best purchased as plants, or the seed may be sown early in hot beds or window flats. ; J : A clergyman always told his little daughter of seven a story after she was in bed.
