ABOUT THE GARDEN IN JUNE

This world that we’re living in
Is mighty hard to beat
You get a thorn with every rose
But—ain’t the roses sweet?
—Frank Stanton
In June some gardeners feel
that the spring display of bloom
is over and “give up” garden
ing. But a garden deserves and
responds to constant care. And
doesn’t this month suggest the
fragrance of magnolia blossoms,
mimosas, cape jasmine, regal lil
ies and roses!
Day Lilies
For tidiness, it is well to keep
the •withered blooms of day lilies
many of them are inexpensive,
such as gold Orphir, Cressida,
Mandarin and pointed lemon-
yellow with green at the center,
and soft yellow reflexed petaled
Modesty.
Pruna Shrubs
Some shrubs need severe prun
ing—especially after the freeze
of late March. By pruning now,
no flowers will be sacrificed;
time is needed to make new
wood for next spring’s flowers.
The time to prune climbing roses
is right after flowering. Heavy
pruning of Ramblers will help
keep down mildew to which
they are susceptible; the old
canes may be cut back to the
new growth is cut back from
time to time in summer, and this
prevents the runners from go
ing where not wanted and taking
root.

• Bearded Iris
[ Cut the faded stalks of beard
ed irises to let light and air into
the clumps but do not cut back
the leaves. Shin trails on 1 * iris
leaves indicate the presence of
borers. If observed, take the
clump up, cut the worms out of
rhizones and dust the roots with
sulphur before replanting. This
is a good time to transplant iris
es that have finished blooming;
they may be planted on until au-
: tumn.
For A Today Garden
Keep faded blossoms and yel-
! lowed leaves picked for peren
nials and annuals to continue to
bear flow'ers. Producing seed,
j exhausts plants. If you want to
save seed, select a few plants for
that purpose. Often weeds have
to be pulled up by hand. Each
weed that matures produces
numberless seeds which are scat
tered far and wide by birds and
winds. A plant which may be
desirable in one locality may be
considered a weed in another
place. Grub the dandelions out
of grass but first take the dried
blooms off.
I « '
(You or I may be responsible
for innumerable dandelions, for
when we were children didn’t
we like to blow the dried blooms
| "to tell the time of day”?) Dan
delions can be killed by putting
kerosene or creosote—or some of
: the weed killers—on the crown.
Garden Tasks
Don’t cut the grass too short
during hot weather; a fair length
.shades the roots. The rakings
may be used for a thin mulch
about plants.
When leaf hoppers are noted
on plants, regular applications of
'contact insecticides — like nico
tine sulphate—cen be used.
When watering is necessary,
soak the ground. Cultivating af
ter every rain as the ground
dries builds up a dust mulch.
The time to put on a summer
mulch of peat moss or leaf mold
is after a rain. Mulching keeps
off the heat of the sun and con
serves moisture. Roses require
much watering to get the plant
food down to the roots, but do
not water them late in the after
noon as the damp leaves over
night could cause mildew.
Pleasures
At this time, roses are making
a display. The polyanthas and
floridbundas with their clusters
of flowers are indeed effective.
The rose should be sprayed or
dusted every ten days with Trio-
gen or Massey dust to control
diseases and insects.
In the late afternoons, it is
pleasant to sit on the porch, talk
to neighbors and listen to the
birds — “bob-whites” and wood
thrushes in the distance and
thrashers running on the green
lawn!

Associates Give
Estimate of
Wilson W. Harris
(continued from page 1)
organized and received our feder
al charter in 1987, and he had been
a member prior to that date. By
his death, we lost a real personal
friend and a friend of the institu
tion. He was the best promoter of
our business, a man completely
unselfish in giving of his time and
efforts and one who was influen
tial in making our organization
what it is today. He never went
half-heartedly into anything. Mr.
Harris was one of the most level
headed business men I have ever
known, a great believer in thrift
and home ownership. Needless to
say, he was a key man in our or
ganization.
Robert M. Vance (president of
the Clinton Kiwanis Club) — Mr.
Harris was a loyal Kiwanian who
contributed greatly to the growth
and effectiveness of our club. A
charter member of the Clinton Ki-
wanis club, he gave it his enthus
iastic support, and the quality of
his effort was reflected in the
mantle of leadership the clulb be
stowed upon him—first as presi
dent of our Clinton group and la
ter as lieutenant-governor of our
entire ninth division. His guid
ance and counseling will be sorely
missed.
Dr. Malcolm A. Mcdonald
(president of Thornwell orphan
age, on whose board of- directors
Mr. Harris served) — Mr. Harris
was an excellent citizen, a good
man, a willing worker who enjoy
ed a variety of interests, who loved
and served Thornwell. He will be
greatly missed.

But this is not only evidence
of current stillness along the
Potomac. Recently, Senators
seeking facts about foreign give
away program, and specifically
on a contract that looked dubi
ous. were Informed by FOA offi
cials they could not report on
how people's money Is being
spent under orders from their
superior, Harold Stassen. Some
how, if appears the American
FOA has “lend leased” an Iron
Curtain from the Soviet GPU.

Besides being head of “opera
tion giveaway,” Stassen la now
also filling a specially created
job to promote disarmament and
world peace.

With this act of censorship in
mind, some observers express
hope Stassen’s first official act
as peace promoter will not bo
clamping rigid censorship down
on age old expreuion “Peace on
earth and goodwill to men.” It
is somehow felt there must bo
some limitations on bureaucrats.
Second Shots For
Polio Vaccine
Now Underway
Clinics for the second round
of Salk vaccine polio shots were
scheduled to get underway Tues
day in Laurens county, accord
ing to an announcement from the
Laurens County Health Depart
ment. The series, originally
planned to be administered while
the schools were in session, was
interrupted by an investigation
ordered in Washington of certain
steps in the manufacture of the
vaccine. The investigation has
proceeded far enough for the
vaccine now to be used to be re
leased.
Second shots are being given
to children just completing the
first and second grades in School
District 56.
Shots were given yesterday at
Florida Street and Academy
Street schools. The remainder
of the schedule is as follows:
Thursday, June 16 — Bell St.
school, 9:30 a. m.
Friday, June 17 — Joanna
school (White), 9:30 a. m.
Friday, June 17 — Woodson
school (Colored), 2:00 p. m.
Monday, June 21—Providence
school, 2:00 p. m.
