4 the joint basket ball rules com
nittee is the attitude OF the
executive committee of the Eastern
intercollegiate Basket Ball League to-
ward the elimination of the dribble.
1t is announced that the league has
not officially decided to accept the
changes in the rules, or at least that
particular change which hog-ties the
dribble
This is significant and also rather
curious, since representatives of the
Eastern organization are members of
the joint rules committee and sat in
with their colleagues at the meeting
which has caused such furore.
1t is difficult to escape the conc1u-
sion, in view of all that has been hap
pening, that the dribble is going to re-
main in basket ball in spite of the leg
islative action of the rules makers.
Blame College Politics.
= Out in Indiana the tendency is to
ascribe the muzzling of the dribble to
Western Conference politics. And the
feeling is that the last word in the Big
Ten has not been said on this subject.
Should the Western Conference de-
eide to abide by the anti-dribble rule
which is not by any means certain
Indiana and Purdue would be left in
the cold in their own State; for poll
has shown that coaches of the In.
diana Conference are overwhelmingly
against the new rule.
And inasmuch as in every year since
the war Indiana colleges have de-
feated a large proportion of all comers
from the midlands, the East and the
South, the Hoosiers feel they can pur.
sue their own basket ball course re-
gardless.

to keep the swing as free and rhythmic

great tendency to tighten up and just
smash with the club in order to dig
the ball out. Quite the contrary course

The Menace of the Corn Borer.

The near approach of the European
corn borer to Maryland makes it es-
sential that every man in the State
should familiarize himself with the
pest. The word everyone" is used
adv;sedly because, regardless of what
ones occupation is, be it farmer, mer-
chant or banker, anything that men
aces the corn crop, which is the back
bone Of Maryland agriculture, de-
mands his fullest attention. The per-
centage of destruction in the corn field
may run to a total loss where the in
festation is allowed to build up with
out restraint. The injury may be in
stalk or ears, or both, when the infes-
taton is heavy. The larvae burrow in
the pith of the stalk, and when num-
erous, cause the stalks to break over
and prevent the formation of fully de-
veloped ears. In addition, the larvae
may burrow through the ears or at
the point where they are attached to
the stalk. Both field corn and sugar
corn are injured, and where the in
festation is heavy truck crops and
weeds are quite likely to be infested.
The infestation to the north of
Maryland is single brooded, and it
| would seem that Maryland is more
likely to be infested first from that
source rather than from the two
brooded areas in northern New Jer-
sey. The larvae winter over in the
stubble, pupating in the spring, and
the moths emerge and begin egglay-
| ing about the 18th of June. The most
effective control measures should,
| therefore, be directed toward the de-
struction of larvae in the stalks and
lstubble. Low cutting, shredding and
ensiling of the fodder, followed by the
complete blowing down of all stub
BILE prior to May 1, offers the best
hope for the control of the pest. Some
modification of agricultural practices
in the State may become necessary,
but the main dependence for control
should center about the measures out
| lined above.
| Detailed information in regard to
life history and control measures will
be published by the Extension Ser
vice in bulletin form during the pres
| ent winter. Should you want to be
prepared in knowing what to do
should the borer reach Garrett county,
request the County Agent to send you
| some information.

horticultural specialists at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
I If the air in the storage room is
very dry, the products will shrivel
considerably. This may be prevented
by placing the products in boxes or
in bins and covering them with soil.
Potatoes and cabbage, however, should
not be handled in this way.
Sometimes outside storage proves
satisfactory. A shallow pit twelve to
fifteen inches deep is dug and the veg
etables to be stored are placed in it
in conical pile. A layer of straw six
to eight inches in depth lis used to
cover the vegetables and this in turn
is covered by layer of soil of similar
depth. This method is rather unsatis-
factory and is recommended only
when no other storage is available be-
cause the losses from decay are usu-
ally very large.
Celery, kohl-rabi, leeks, brussels
sprouts and endive should be stored in
moist cellars. These vegetables re-
quire good ventilation. They will not
keep if stored in outside pits or if
allowed to freeze. They should be dug
with little soil about the roots, then
set in moist soil on the floor or in
boxes in the cellar. The soil should
be watered lightly from time to time
but the leaves and stalks must be kept
dry, otherwise they will decay. 1t is
also possible to store these crops un-
der glass in cold frames in a manner
similar to that just described. Ir
very cold weather, additional covering
such as mats or straw must be provid-
ed to prevent freezing.
Sweet potatose, squashes and pump
kins should be stored in a warm, dry
place having good ventilation. For ten
days to two weeks after sweet pota.
toes are placed in storage they should
be held at temperature of about SO
degrees. The temperature then may
be lowered to SIS or so degrees.

Seed Growing Makes Progress in
Maryland.

One hundred and twenty-one farm
ers were engaged this year in the
highly specialized task of growing
seed under supervision of the Mary
land Seed Certification Board and 1926
acres of potatoes, sweet potatoes and
wheat, the three crops for which seed
certifcation is now provided, were
under inspection during the season, it
is announced by S. B. Shaw, chief in
spector for the State Department of
Markets.
Starting off this spring inspec-
tions were made for nineteen growers
of wheat in seven counties and $50
acres Of the crop were under inspec-
ton. While none of the wheat was
placed in the certified class, twelve of
the nineteen growers succeeded in pro-
ducing wheat that was listed by the
Seed Certifcation Board. Wheat of
this quality is reported as selling
from so to rs cents per ibushel higher
Clldll Vic SelleIdl Lain ClOp.
Inspections were made for twenty
eight growers of sweet potatoes in
three counties and 119 acres were un-
der supervision. Owing to the fact
that the crop will not be moved from
storage until next spring, figures on
production and value are not availa-
BILE, it is announced.
The potato crop called for the heav-
lest work on the part of the Seed Ger
LITIGATION Board, IA growers and 10
counties with a total of 421 acres re-
questing inspections. The certified
seed potato crop in the State, it is es-
timated, will exceed $4,000 bushels
and sales now being made are bring
ing growers an advance of $3.50 per
barrel over ordinary stock. Fifteen
cars of certified seed, it is reported,
have already been shipped out of the
State, going for the most part to New
Jersey producers who will use them
for seed next spring.
The value of seed certifcation, how
ever, is not measured alone by the
higher prices received by the rela-
lively few growers engaged in this
specialized business, it is pointed out.
The far-reaching results of certifca-
ton work are to be found in the dis
tribution and greater use of high
grade seed in the important crop pro-
ducing sections of Maryland. The use
of such seed, it is said, is reflected
in improved yields per acre and in a
higher quality product which can be
marketed to better advantage.
The seed Certification Board was
established in 1924 under the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service.

surprising title of "For Heavens
