High Bowling Record Is Broken
Again

The high individual record in the
Oakland Bowling league for one game
and also for three games was broken
Monday night when Carol Elliott, of
the Merchants, rolled PIT for single
game and total of 523 for three
games. The former record was held
by Dutch" Walter, Of the Presby-
terrain team.
During the weeks play the Metho-
dists won two of three from the
Knights of Columbus; the Rotary
club took two from the Merchants but
lost two to the Postoffice. Crellin al
so took two out of three from the
Merchants. The Presbyterians still
lead the league with Rotary second,
Postofice third, and Merchants fourth.
Tonight the K of G. team meets
the Presbyterians while the Metho-
dists will clash with the Lutherans.

Window Decorations


Modern decorative treatments for
windows, including directions for
choosing suitable materials and for
making the various kinds of curtains
and draperies now in vogue, are de-
scribed by Miss Helen Shelby, of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, in a circular now available
for distribution.
The purpose Of the window, Miss
Shelby says, is to give light and ven
tilation and permit a view of the out
side. To be useful, the window deco
rations must not conceal an attractive
view, prevent adequate ventilation or
shut out too much sunlight. Windows
are curtained to give privacy to a
room, to soften the light, to break
the severe lines Of the window frame,
to introduce color and to complete a
scheme of decoration.
In planning decorations for a room
that is to be occupied great deal,
such as living room, it is well to
remember that it will be more rest
full if the walls are kept plain and
rather neutral in color. With the wall
surface plain and dull in effect, one
may use pattern or design in drap-
cries, furniture and rugs. On the
other hand, rooms may be very sue
cessful with decorated wall surface
and plain draperies.
The design used in the living room
should have dignity. AS a rule, the
most satisfactory drapery fabrics
with patterns are those that do not
show a decided contrast in color
value, and possess design that
covers the surface without appearing
spotted. When drapery material is
being selected, it should be arranged
in folds and held against the light to
see how it will look on the window.
If the walls of room are definitely
figured, one should select plain dra-
peries. Plain draperies should also
be used in rooms where there are
many pictures and much design in the
furniture and rugs. Plain curtains
of the same color as the wall are also
very successful in small rooms with
many windows. They seem to en-
large the background.
The circular is well illustrated,
making directions easy to follow.
Copies may be secured without cost
from the county home demonstration
agent.

one ton of legume hay. Each work
animal will consume about three
tons of good roughage. Have you
planned to grow enough roughage to
meet your needs next winter? Now
is the time to plan and plant.
o.
You can expect from l to IA tons
Of hay per acre. If your land will
produce 40 to 80 bushel corn per
acre you can expect about 10 tons of
silage per acre if a good silage
variety Of corn is used.
Do you plan on doing any trans
planting of trees or shrubs this
spring? II you do, make note for
it to be done as soon as the frost
leaves the ground. The longer you
wait after the frost leaves the ground
the less chance you have for sue
cessful transplanting. Remember to
take as much soil as possible with the
shrubs.
Spring is near and most lawns have
been neglected during the winter.
Now is the time to plan your treat
ment. A good top dressing will help
to get the grass off to an early start
and promote growth in summer.
Don't forget the lawn needs lime as
well as the clover field.

Have your brooder houses well in
sulated and save on coal bill.

Now is the time for poultrymen to

Last Chance to Prune Grape Vines
Unlike most small fruits there is a
time limit in the pruning of grape
vines and that time limit expires very
soon with the coming of warm
weather and the rise of sap, which
causes bleeding if the pruning is de-
layed until too late a date.
There is one main factor to be kept
in mind in the pruning of grape vines
and if observed even the ineXperien-
ced can get results. 1t is necessary
to limit the number of buds on the
vine to the strength of the vine.
Usually it is well to allow only 35 to
40 buds. The most common method is
to prune back to one bud keeping in
mind that the grapes are born on
the present years growth and not on
last years growth. To the unin-
formed observer, properly pruned
grape vine may seem to have been
cut too heavily but without heavy
pruning, a crop is uncertain. The
form of the vine should be kept in
mind at the time of pruning. The
West Va. University found that the
most vigorous buds were not at the
base of the cane. Their findings
seem to indicate that it is best to
allow about four entire canes to re-
main on the vine

The General Agricultural Situation
The outlook for the agricultural in
dustry in the United States as a
whole for 1929 shows indications of
being not far different from the past
five years, the annual gross cash in
come from farming has ranged from
2,O00,O00,0OO to $12,500, 100000.
Agriculture in this country is a re-
gional industry. Progress and de-
preston in the industry are not felt
equally by all sections. Because of
annual variations in production in
different sections of the country re-
gional fluctuations will continue to oc
cur.
The aggregate value of 81 import
ant crops produced in Maryland in
1928 declined about II per cent from
the value in 1927. This decline in
value was due, for the most part, to
adverse weather conditions. In the
case of early potatoes, the decline,
largely due to poor weather condi
tions, was also responsible for price
declines in many of the crops notably
in strawberries and some of the other
truck crops.
During the past year the livestock
industries have Jared better than
have the crops as whole.
For the Eastern States, including
Maryland, the outlook for 1929 is for
better returns than in 1928. The
fluid milk industry continues profit
able with an increasing demand,
and no grain feed shortagees are an
ticipated. The potato industry which
was improbable to growers in 1928,
is expected to show a recovery in
1929. Fruit growers face continued
heavy production, with the long timed
outlook for northern peaches slightly
improved. Apple producers and vege-
table growers may look forward to
continued competition from other
areas which ship to eastern markets.
The average dairy COW will con-
sumo about 2 tons of good legume

REGATTA WON

Rough Waters Prove Undo

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. ", June Is.
-Pl-Coiumbia is the gem Of the
intercollegiate ocean after the
toughest and most disastrous naval
battle in the history Of the Pough-
keepsie regatta.
Through four turbulent miles
last evening the sons Of little old
New York rowed to triumph for
the second time In three years,
capturing the Varsity championship
OF America. In their dazzling wake
were strewn the shattered hopes of
four Of Columbia's eight rivals,
chief among them the proud Golden
Bears or California.
Old Man River went on a RAM
page for the browning classic OF the
1929 rowing season. kicking up a
disturbance that wrecked the for
tunes Of all but five Of the record
fleet Of nine.
What was forecast as the great
est Of all collegiate regattas was
turned into a knockdown and drag
out battle with the old man, who
spared neither champions, nor fav-
orites nor trailers as he swamped
one boat after another.
Columbia stood out supreme
overcoming all obstacles to beat q
gallant Washington crew by three
lengths. The huskies were eight
lengths ahead OF another surprise
boat, Pennsylvania. The Quakers
came up out Of the choopy seas to
beat Navy as other craft sank.
