The Art of
Rock Laying
Explained
Many Small Rock Gardens Being Re
modeled Along Modern Lines
Late Autumn Best.
With the rapidly growing appre
ciation and use of real rock garden
plants, gardeners are gradually com
ing to realize the fact that a rock
garden even a very small one
must be something more than a pile
of earth and stones. New rock gar
dens are bing constructed with more
care, and many an old one is being
rebuilt a job that can be done to
great advantage just at this season
of the year.
A rock garden built in the tail
need not be rushed, as it usually is
when made in the Spring. Fall rains
will settle the soil and test the work.
The most important single fact for
the builder is primarily a home for
plants not adapted to the ordinary
beds and borders. It is not just a
garden feature or accessory, like a
sun dial or a bird bath.
The old adage that beauty is only
skin deep does not apply to the rock
garden. The basis for the beauty of
a rock garden is generally several
feet deep, being even more dependent
on sound construction below ground
than on a pleasant arrangement of
the surface rockwork.
Room for Long Roots.
Rock plants, or, as they are more
correctly called, alpine plants, grow
in nature under the harshest possible
conditions, in amazingly narrow
crevies, on shifting rock slides, in
any little patch of soil that has col
lected in their mountain haunts. As
a natural consequence of such an en
vironment, they have developed dis-j
tinct habit3 of growth, inclining to
ward very deep, tough, roots, com
pact rosettes of foliage, or scantily
clad, wandering wiry stems. In
sharp contrast to this paucity of top
growth is their brilliant display of
blocms. An attempt to better their
lot by giving them ordinary garden
conditions and "rich" soil will, in
most cases, lead to their death, or to
a gross and disproportionate growth
of foliage which roms them of their
distinctive natural character.
The first essential in the construc
tion of any rock garden is adequate
drainage to protect the crowns and
roots of the plants against conditions
causing rotting. Most alpines perish
if their roots penetrate into stand
ing water or wet, soggy ground.
Therefore, when a rock garden is to
be built, unless the natural drainage
is exceptionally good the whole area
to be covered is dug out to a depth
of at least eighteen inches prefera
bly two feet or more. The bottom is
then lined with eight inches to a
foot of broken stone or old broken
bricks or tile. Over this is put two
or three inches of soil mixed with
sand or gravel, which is washed in
thoroughly with the hose. (This
washing in or settling is important
all through the construction as it in
sures aga'.nst air pockets into which
roots might stray, and prevents later
settling which often changes the con
tours of the rockwork in a most dis
couraging way).
On top of this layer of stone is
placed several inches cf smaller
broken stone, road ballast or coarse
gratei, una into tins is wasted a
mixture of soil and sand. Such pre
paratory work which is really much
simpler than it sounds brings the
filling up to within a few inches of
the ground level and provides a solid
foundation of good drainage upon
which to build the visible rockwork,
with its ledges, slopes and levels.
Slopes to the South.
In our climate the "exposure" of
this miniature terrain that is to
say, the longest slope should be to
the south or southeast. Therefore
the "mountain," or greatest height,
is placed rather near the north end
cf the area. If this is not possible,
an eastern exposure is next choice.
Soil for use between the surface
rocks is the next problem. A spe
cial mixture is made for this pur
pose. Any good top soil will do a3 a
base, but if it is obtained from wood
land it must be sweetened with a
liberal admixture of limestone chips,
or a somewhat smaller amount of old
mortar rubble, because most alpines
prefer a sweet soil. A good mixture
is one part leafmold, one part light
top soil, one part sand, and one part
limestone chip3. As leafmold is not
always available, peat moss serves
a3 a substitute. Sometimes a mixture
of half top soil and half sand or
gravel is used. The finished mix is
light and pliable, not balling together
when wet, and not caking when
baked by the sun. Water sinks into
it immediately, instead of standing
on the surface. One would expect
such a soil to dry out rapidly, but
this Is only partly true, as each par
ticle of grit is surrounded by a film
of moisture available to the deep
running roots of the little alpine
plants.
A pile of suitable soil having been
prepared, the actual rockwevk is be
gun . Probably the most general mis
takes here are those of placing rocks
on end, or at regular intervals.
Either error immediately gives the
garden an artificial appearance which
no amount of judicious planting can
overcome. The experienced builder
strives to create the impression of a
natural outcropping of rock, the
stones being placed with the "grain"
or stratification marks running in
the same general direction. The
rock need not be all of the same
kind, although it is preferable to
have it so if possible.
The First Step in Building.
The first step in building is to lay
an irregular rim of stones around the
outside of the garden area. Some are
placed flush with the ground, others
rise considerably above it. Then the
enclosed space is filled in with soil,
which is settled with the hose. If
large rocks are to top the high points
of the construction, a foundation is
made by sinking flat stones well into
the earth at these points. As the
work progresses, these foundations
are built up to the height desired.
It is well to leave part of the
garden area at or near the ground
level, sloping somewhat upward to
ward the height. This lends variety
to the finished garden; and then, too,
some alpines do not require crevices,
or in fact, prefer a level.
After the first level is finished,
and foundations for the high points
started, the rock garden builder
marks off the section that will cor
respond to the second level, remem
bering that the long slope is to be to
the south. Around this he lays an J
irregular ledge, filling it in with soil
and settling with water. The rocks
are all placed to slope in to the soil,
so that moisture will be carried back
along them to the roots cf the
plants. This slight upward tilting
of the outer ends of the stones also
helps to prevent soil from washing
off the terraces, and the rocks are
not likely to be forced out by frost.
The terraced slopes, in order to pre
vent soil washing, are made not too
3teep, but it i3 just as well to fill
ther.i with a little more soil than
ccerrs necessary to allow unavoidable
settling.
Arranging the Terraces.
In this way, terrace by terrace
(Irregularity is essential), the high
est point of the garden can be built
up several feet above the level of
the plain. Most email-piece garden
ers are not fortunate enough to have
an unlimited supply of earth and
stone, so that it is often more eco
nomical, as well as equally decora
tive, to obtain additional height by
the use of dwarf evergreens or other
shrubs planted near the top. Ever
greens are particularly effective be
cause of their compact and solid ap
pearance. The finished garden is cov
ered with a thin layer of stone chips.
This helps to prevent soil washing
and spattering and checks evapor
ation.
It is difficult to keep in mind, when
one's supply of stone is scanty, that
the greater part of each rock must
be sunk in the earth to obtain solid
ity and permanence. Loose rockwork
will cause endless trouble later.
However, the other extreme of an
over-abundance of rock is undesir
able, too, for it should be possible to
dig, with a narrow trowel, a hole at
least six inches deep in almost any
part of the garden without encoun
tering serious obstacles.
A small rock garden such as de
scribed above can be built on level
ground. Construction on a slope i3
really easier and it requires les3 ma
terial. Fortunately, the would-be
rock gardener seldom needs be dis
couraged by the size or location of
his rpace, for rock-gardening, while
it is a particular and specialized
form of the art of gardening, is one
cf the most adaptable. Ey Walter

STEFAN HEARS FARM GROUP
Norfolk, Neb. Representating
distressed farmers living in the
northern part cf Cedar and Knox
counties, a delegation of four men
arrived in Norfolk Thursday to place
before Congressman-elect Stefan a
picture cf conditions confronting
owners of livestock and farm people.
Members of the group were:
Harry Ilinman, E. J. Coebcl, Tom
Jackson and Joa Buschkamp, all liv
ing near Croftcn. This i3 the second
delegation to arrive in Norfolk this
week with a plea for immediate feed
for livestock, the other being from
Boyd county.
Conditions in Bcyd county are
paralleled by those in northern Knox
and Cedar counties, where five years
of crop failure due to drouth and
two because of grasshoppers have
placed many farmers in desperate
circumstance, the delegation reported.
Cochran Assur
ed of Feed Loan
Increases Soon
Monthly Allowances to Be Extended
if Necessary, Nebraskan Told
at Washington.
Washington. Assurance that
monthly allowances for emergency
feed loans to farmers in drouth
states will be increased if necessary
was gained by Governor-Elect Coch
ran of Nebraska from officials of the
emergency crop and feed loan office
here.
Cochran had suggested a 50 per
cent increase on the ground increas
ing feed costs since the figures were
set last summer had made the allow
ances inadequate.
He conferred with Norman Mon
aghan, director of crop and feed
loans, and C. A. Stewart, deputy
production credit commissioner, from
whom he said he obtained the "very
satisfying pledge" of meeting farm
ers' needs with larger loans. "They
told me," Cochran said, "they want
ed to keep the loans as small as pos
sible but that whenever larger sums
are necessary, they would see that
the monthly allowances were in
creased to meet the situation."
The governor-elect, who has been
carrying to federal relief and agri
cultural officials a picture of the
damage done to Nebraska's agricul
ture by the 1934 drouth, said he
thought such a policy would meet
the situation.
Besides dealing with agricultural
problems, Cochran added additional!
information to the store he is ac
cumulating on problems in connec
tion with the handling of liquor. He
conferred with Chairman Choate of
the federal alcohel control adminis
tration. "I wanted to learn all I
could from him as to what the fed
eral government has learned in its
experience in handling legalized li
quor again," Cochran said.
Ho was unwilling to discuss the
suggestions of Choate or others with
whom he talked until information
being gathered for him by William
H. Wright, attorney general-select,
is completed.
COUGHLIN FLAYS DTI F0I7TS
Detroit Attacking munition man
ufacturers as "merchandisers of mur
der," Rev. Charles E. Coughlin
charged in an address "we actually
equip cur potential enemies among
the world powers and cut of fear
of offending Japan our navy, our
army, our state department all ap
prove a sale cf a secret process to
Japan."
The priest said he referred to the
sale of a certain type of DuPont pow
der to the Japanese government and
he singled cut members of the Du
Pont family for special criticism, re
marking "this family witnessed Am
erican liberty in its cradle and is
seemingly happy to follow it to its
grave."
"Collusion, bribery of high offi
cials and governmental corruption
were proven to be the elements in
making munition sales," said Rev.
Ccughlin summing up the senate in
vestigation of the munitions indus
try. "'Away with the prince of,
peace! Crucify him! Crucify him!
Crucify him! Give U3 the Earrabas
of war!' is the motto of the Amer
ican munitions manufacturers," he
charged.
TINY FREIGHTER SENDS SOS
New York. Lasnea by the most
devastating storm to sweep the North
Atlantic in many winters, the tiny
Norwegian freighter Sist sent an
SOS pleading for "urgent assistance."
Immediately all wireless stations,
both in the British isles and in Am
erica, concentrated for further mes
sages from the little ship but no
word was forthcoming. The exact
nature of the vessel's danger could
not be learned, but apparently it
had lost its rudder.
At 10:23 p. m., Mackey radio pick
ed up a message from Land's End,
England, reporting the arrival of a
British ship, at the side of the SIsto.
Boston. The coast guard reported

of Graves Light.
FORMER KAISER LOSES SUIT
Leipzig, Germany. Former Kaiser
Wilmelm II lest a case he brought
to the supreme appellate court
against the Goldschmidt Rothschild
company. Berlin banking house. He
had sued for annulment of a deal in
industrial shares made on his behalf
in 1928 thru the court Counsellor
Nitz. controller of Wilhelm's privy
purse. The amount involved was
4S0.C00 marks, (about ?192,000),
against which the bank made a coun
ter claim of 250.000 marks for the
balance due in the kaiser's account.
NEBRASKA'S INCOME TAXES
Washington. Guy T. Kelvering,
commissioner of internal revenue,
reported 1932 income tax figures for
Nebraska showed a reduction in cor
poration taxes and an increase in
individual taxes compared with 1931.
In a report on the 1932 income tax,
for which returns were filed in 1933,
Helvering showed corporation tax
payments dropped from $1,0S7,290
in 1931 to $848,000 in 1932, while
individual payments increased from
$723,426 to $970,563. The number
of corporation returns fell off slight
ly, but the number with a net in
come in the aggregate dropped from
$12,C4S,406 to ?7,12S,206. The
number of corporations showing a
deficit increased from 2,355 to 3,308
and the amount of the defiiit from
$21,106,405 to $27,S02,S17. There
were 2,336 individual returns report
ed. Nebraska had only one return
showing more than $100,000 net in
come, and it was under $150,000.
There were four others above $50,
000 and sixty-three between $25,000
and $50,000. There were 25,503 in
dividual returns showing net income
of $66,007,036 and tax of $97,563.
Only 1,S4 percent of Nebraska's
population filed income tax returns.
Prepare Bill
to Cover Racing
in Nebraska
Ak-Sar-Een Horse Racing Committee
Prrr.!ira TVfpnci?rA r SnTimih
to the Legislature.
Following the approval at the
election in November of the measure
to permit parimutuel horse racing in
Nebraska, the racing committee ot
the Ak-Sar-Een at Omaha, are pre
paring a measure to present to the
next legislature in regard to this
matter.
The bill provides a commission of
three persons to be appointed by the
governor. "These men will not even
be one-dollar a year men," said
George Brandeis. "They will serve
without pay."
The purpose of having the mem
bers of the commission serve without
pay is to obtain civic-spirited citi
zens who have at heart only the best
interest of the whole state. The bill
provides for the commission super
vising the licensing and regulating
of the entire parimutuel system of
the state. However, it exempts from
its provisions any county or state
fairs which may want to conduct
horseraces without the pari-mutuel
system. In this way these fairs can
operate as they did in the past before
the pari-mutuel racing amendment
was approved by the voters.
To Promote Horse Breeding.
Here are some of the provisions:
A portion of all license fees and
taxes collected by the racing com
mission would be appropriated to the
state department of agriculture, for
the purchase of transportation of
high grade stallions and jacks to
various parts of Nebraska. This is
the plan successfully followed by
Kentucky and Maryland in develop
ing the horse-breeding industry.
At each race meeting, one race a
day must be conducted for Nebraska
bred horses. A percentage of the
purse must be paid to the breeder
of the horse winning each such race
for Nebraska-bred horses.
Funds collected by the racing com
mission would be distributed among
all county fairs, regardless of popu
lation. These funds would be for
use only for payment cf agricultural
and live stock premiums, heretofore
raised by direct tax levy in each
county. The bill, therefore, would
constitute tax relief and the payment
of such premiums, Ak-Sar-Bcn be
lieves, will greatly encourage re
building of drcuth-dcpleted herds by
Nebraska cattle-raisers.
Sunday Racing Taboo.
License fees are to be charged ac
cording to the population cf the var
ious counties. However, harness
horse meets, most popular at county
fairs, are to pay only one-fourth as
much as the running horse meet3.
Sunday racing is barred.
"We are confident that racing will
be properly conducted wherever a
license is granted and that it will
mean a great deal to the agricultural
interests of our state," said Mr.
Brandci3 said. "We appreciate the
confidence the people have bestowed
in us and thi3 confidence will never
be violated as long a3 Ak-Sar-Een has
anything to do with racing."
THREE DEAD IN HOME
Steele, N. D. Three men were
found dead in a home here, killed,
authorities believe, by a combination
of fire and suffocation. The dead
are Hart wig Stark, farmer; Nels
Berry, bachelor recluse, and Olad
Borrud, Minneapolis, visiting Berry.
War Profits
228 Millions
Figures for du Pont Firm Are Re
vealed to Senate Munitions
Committee Probers.
Washington, Dec. 20. A world
war profit of more than 250 million
dollars by the du Pont Powder com
pany, after expenses and taxes had
been deducted, was detailed today
before the senate munitions commit
tee. As business figures totaling more
than a billion dollars were unfold
ed. Alfred I du Pont simultaneously
was reported by a committee investi
gator to have had a gross income of
$29,536,000 between 1920 and 1926
on which he did not pay "one cent
of income tax."
Evidence then was put forward
that Alfred du Pont had incurred
such large losses in the Nemours
Trading company that his gains were
offset.
Billion Dollar Easiness.
In showing that the Delaware com
pany had a net war profit of $228,
731,000, Alger Hiss, an investigator,
produced the following figures:
The company's gross business be
tween 1915 and 1918, inclusive, was
C 1,157,000,000, of which 225 million
dollars was for salaries. A total of
602 million dollars went into ma
terials, 72 million into taxes and 15
million to employes in bonus pay
ments. Successful du Pont efforts to ob
tain high postwar tariffs on chem
ical imports were credited by offi
cials of the Delaware company with
saving the American people millions
cf dollars.
Letters from du Pent officials
spoke of having had to sell the re
publican senators who don't know
anything about it."
A letter from R. R. M. Carpenter,
a retired vice-president cf the com
pany, to Ircnne du Pont, introduced
today, brought in the names of the
then Senators Frelinghuysen of New
Jersey, Watson of Indiana and Henry
P. Fletcher, now chairman of the re
publican national committee. Wat
son is to be called before the com
mittee tomorrow.
F.etchcr Is Mentioned.
It suggested the establishment of
a Washington office by the du Touts,
and said Watson criticized du Pont
legislative methods as "handled the
worst of any corporation in the
country. It suggested that du Pont
"get in touch" with someone who
could give advice. One name was
mentioned in this connection because
"of his very intimate relationship
with Fletcher."
Irenee du Pont told the committee
"the enly way to wage a war is to
have an absolute monarch at the
head of the government."
The powder manufacturer made
thi3 observation while being ques
tioned about the advisability of con
scripting industry in time of war.
SHOT TO DEATH IN THEATER
Chicago. Marcelus Turner, a Ne
gro awaiting his turn in an amateur
night performance at a small south
side theater, was shot to death by a
woman as he sat in the audience.
Six hundred other spectators, start
led by the gunshot, streamed wildly
into the aisles and rushed from the
exits. Henry Farano, 24. white, an
usher, attempted to fight his way
thru the crowd and was stabbed in
the shoulder by an unidentified as
sailant. Maxwell street police, hunting the
woman, seized Mrs. Ruby Britten,
4 5, a Negro, and quoted her as say
ing she shot Turner because he per
sisted in pressing his foot against
the backrest of her scat. With her
two daughters, who had accompanied
her to the theater, Mrs. Britten was
held for the inquest.
INTERCEDES FOR KIDNAPER
Boston. Miss Dora Millicent Miles
of Los Angeles, who travel across
the continent to intercede for George
E. Gilbert, convicted kidnaper, asked
the Massachusetts board of pardons
to act favorably on Gilbert's petition
for parol 3 because "I love him."
Gilbert, who has a wife and four
children, escaped from the state pris
on colony at Norfolk in 1930 and
Hod to California. There he wooed
Miss Miles, she told the board, and
gave her to understand he would
obtain a divorce and marry her.
Gilbert was captured on the west
coast and returned to prison here.
Asked what her Interest in Gilbert
was, Miss Miles quickly replied: "I
love him and I believe he loves me.
Arrangements are being made for a
divorce in Massachusetts and if this
is granted we will marry."
