Desmodium Species 
Desmodium species as they grow here in 
South Florida, I am familiar with only three 
species and all three of them are rather bad 
weeds here which I have to keep hoeing out 
of my garden. The small trailing D. tri 
fiorum is sometimes used here as a lawn 
cover, but one has to be dilligent in keeping 
it closely mown or it will seed and the num- 
erous burrs will stick on to the cloths of 
any one crossing the lawn. Chapman’s 
“Flora of the Southern United States’,’ lists 
18 species as native in Florida, but most of 
them are in the central and northern part of 
the state. There is a great difference in the 
acid and alkali soils of the state. The soik 
here in Pompano Beach and _ vicinity is 
acid with a PH of 6-7. We are 30 miles 
north of Miami and from Miami south to the 
Keys the PH is 7-8. For instance, the beau- 
tiful shrub Tetrazygia bicolor grows luxur- 
iously south of Miami, but I have never 
been able to grow it here at all. 
W. A. Pool, 
CLEMATOPSIS STANLEYI. 
Shock Headed Peter. It is found in the 
epen veld, along roads, throughout South- 
ern Rhodesia. It is a shrub growing 4-5 feet 
in height, erect, branched and covered with 
short downy hairs. 
The flowers are 1-2 
Sepals are downy, 
are no true petals. 
This flower belongs to the same family ag 
the Anemone and is closely related to the 
Clematis, Travellor’s Joy. 
The natives are said to rub the flowers 
in their hands and use as an inhalent for 
colds in the head. 
It would be hardy only in the South where 
it will be an attractive shrub. 
POSTAL SAVINGS. 
The last report of the U. S. Postal Say- 
ings shows that $2,617,500,000 are deposited, 
a decline of 5.4% from the year before. The 
average per deposit is $783.85. 
Of this $33,000,000 is held by 866 banks. 
Of course, one would expect they would be 
Federal Reserve Banks but 8 are non- 
members, in other words non-par banks. 
2% interest is paid by these banks. 
During this one year, there were 2,174 
accounts aggiegating $55,937, that were 
transferred to their dead account. This now 
totals $329,463, deposits of which nothing 
has been heard of for 20 years! A lot of 
money to be forgotten. 
However, the most important part of the 
report is the fact that $2,558,000,000, or 
95% of the total deposits, is in federal goy- 
erment I. O. U’s, in other words, before 
these depositors can get their money back, 
the money will either have to raised by 
selling more bonds, which at present will be 
impossible for the legel limit has already 
been reached, or taxes will have to be levied 
to raise the money! 
This is not only a serious matter but you 
will find that all other federal funds, such 
as the Social Security. monies, etc., are also 
in the same shape. No private institution 
would be allowed to handle money intrusted 
to them in the way the federal goverment 
handles it. 
It is a question well worth thinking about, 
whether the Post Office, that cannot manage 
to run its own affairs without a continual 
loss, in spite of continual increases in its 
rates, should be in the banking business.
