If flowers are conditioned before
you make arrangements for them in
vases and other containers, they’ll
keep fresh for a longer period of
time .
Garden flowers, such as asters, cal
endulas, marigolds, snapdragons and
zinnias last much longer if they are
t
allowed to stand overnight in water
to which has been added sugar. Use
one teaspoon of sugar for each quart
of water.
Iris and tulips will last mu6h long

wrapped in wet newspaper immed

into deep water which comes up to
the blooms.

Gardenias and camelias never
drink water after they’re cut. Place
these in a cool place and cover them
with wet tissue.
Violets like water cn their flow- ■
ers. Bunch them first, then turn bun-^
ches upside down and immerse in
water to allow the flowers to drink
from blossom ends as well as stems.
All green leaves should be con
ditioned by placing in buckets of
water overnight before you arrange
them.
Flowers which are bleeders, like
poppies, hollyhocks, poinsettias, lu
pines ancl milkweed should have the
tips of their • stems burned. Then
plunge them into ice water to re
main overnight.

maintain high prices. So the dairy
farmers go merrily on churning out
more and more spread for no one to
buy; but for Unc^ Sam to store
away, and for you and me to pay for
the privilege of not using.
What's the Government going to
do with all the golden butter bricks?
Who knows? Recently they have
been trying to give them to relief,
agencies, schools, and so forth.
But takers are few because they
haven’t the kind of money it takes'
to pay transportation charges, es-!
pecially when a good substitute an
swers the purpose. Anyway, who 1
wants rancid butter? To my way of|
thinking, not only the butter, but
the whole phoney system is rancid.
Action .And Reaction
This is but one illustration of the
system of talse economics in vogue
in this country today. You just can
not tamper lor long with tne law Oi
supply and demand before it will
boomerang. Newton’s law of action
and reaction also apply here as aptly
today as two hundred years ago. Os
trich economics (the head in the sand
variety) is due for a terribly rude
awakening some day.
Yet, our President is urging other
spending programs like the butter
program that could run up a debt of
nearly $15,000,000,000 in three years.
Projects requiring huge outlays of
public money—wnen ousiness is at
near pea* perfoimance—will lead
some day to economic disaster.
If we must prime the pump in
this fashion in good times, what can i
the soothsayers possibly have in |
store lor us in hard times? The aw
ful consequences of this kind of reck
less speeding ought to be taught by
all high school teachers to their
classes. The harsh ooject lessons of
Great Britain p..er excellent source
material.
I nemrloyment Is Rising
Unemployment is currently and
steadily rising. Even Leon Keyserl-
mg suggests we may have as many
as 12,000.1)Of) jobless by 1954. 1 won
der it Mr. Keyserling fees the con
nection between a mountain of but
ter and tne mounting unemployed.
As long as business is stffled by an
increasing tax burden to hoid up
prices there just isn't venture capi
tal sufficient to create and expand
business.
