MANY FLOWERS BEAR NAMES OF BIBLICAL CHARACTERS hi tho old-fashioned gardens of our grandmothers wo have hud pointed out to us many flowers thy names of which came from tho Bible or from religious associations. Among these we have found: Bleeding Heart; iliu Passion Flower; Job'? Tears; Moses in the HitriiInk Bush; Elijah's Chariot; Joseph's Coat of Many Colors. In thy evening as we gathered around the Night ItlooiuiiiK Cereus watching It softly open, wo saw tho umbloms of tho Holy Night. tlu- cradle and the manner. In the wood a wo havo found Lady Slipper; Virgin How or; Solomon's Seal; Jack in the Pulpit and Aaron's Hod. sometimes tailed Jacob's Staff. The Bleeding Heart became the emblem of tho hlei/ding heart of Christ and In the Passion Flower Is found the rich colors of royal purple tinged with hlood-red and also the emblems of thy cruclflxon. This flower was named In holy wonder by tho oarly Fathers of i the Church when they found it flrut In tlu; southern' states of America. Farther west on the desert edges they found the Yucca and reverently called It the Caudle of the Lord. Job's Tears Is a grass with cornlike leaves land it bears hard shining bendy seeds that bang along its j spikes. Elijah's Chariot Is the delphinium. especially the while ontr: it is also called the Chariot of Adftm and Eve. Other names are Monk's Hood and Friar's Cap. Joseph's Coat is a richly spotted toliago plant Amaranthus, "tricolor splendens". Its many colors of crimson. scarlet and shades of green reminded those who named it of the coat given to Joseph by his father, tho coat which caused his envious brothers to sell him into Egypt. The Burning Bush Kochia, resembles an ornamental evergreen which is the autumn becomes blood red and may be used to form a beautiful low hedge. The Night Blooming Cercus is not the only one of this family that lias a religious connection, for in Panama the "Holy (Jhost Orchid" shelters within Its pure white petals a perlect white dove, wings and a ii, looking forward with bowed head. The Splrea is St. Peter's Wreath and the Euphorbia Splendens is the Crown of Thorns.

Richards Appeals ? For State Farmers Washington, I). C. Nov. 28. Congrossman J. I*. Richards of the Fifth South Carolina District today appearod before the House Agriculture Committee in support of a bill providing for the allocation of a portion of tile funds set aside for 1940 cotton parity payments for the relief of farmers in South Carolina facing distress on account of the short cotton crop In that area this year. When being questioned by Committee Members suggesting that tlie Farm Security Administration and the WPA should handle this situation, Richards asserted: "I'll admit that the Farm Security Administration has done a lot of good work and so has the WPA, however, tlie WPA is practically out of it ou account of the one billion dollar cut in WPA appropriations for this year, and ttie Farm Security Administration has a long range program with very strict regulations and requirements as to farmers who may ho given aid for re haibilitation purposes. This Is an emergency problem and there must he a drastic remedy now. The Farm Security Administration cannot properly meet it on account of drastic requirements of those who apply for aid. Never during my life time have I seen such a short cotton crop in the Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina and our farmers are going to suffer this winter. The catastrophe visiting our farmers this year is com pargble to other acta of Providence. s\ich aa volcanic eruptions, earthquakea and tidal wavea. This Oovernment has alwaya heretofore been generoua in meetiiiK auch aituationa here and abroad. It tu^t a aimliar challenge in the duat bowl of the Weat several ycara ago, we have appropriut' ed money luue for earthquuke sufferjera in South America and Japan, we have sent one billion dollara of credit | to Huaaia, we aro furnishing free to the people of England hundreds of 1 millions of dollara worth of farm produce lu order that they may be properly clothed and fed. Certainly then wo should do^somothlng for our own J suffering people. I further suggest ' that, in view of the fact that the present price of cotton la near parity and. therefore, it will be necesaury to use very little of $212,000,000 set aside for parity payments, it will in no way upset tho general farm plans of the Department of Agriculture if part of this fund, say $30,000,000 In the way of an additional Federal Grant, is diverted to rollevq distress on account of the crop failure in South Carolina." Tho Agricultural Committee, under Chairman Fulmer pf South Carolina, is still holdnlg hearings on the subject witli a view to shaping up legislation to meet thq situation.
