WILL
 BLOW OVER SAYS HENRY AFTER TOUR
Berlin Games Will Surpass Los Angeles COnlpeti-
 ton of 1882
BY GEORGE KIRSKEY funited Press Staff Correspondentl

New York, Aug. 13.-(UP)-' After a first hand study of Ger many's preparations for the 1886 Olympics, Bill Henry, Los Angeles sports editor and technical direc- tor of the 1932 games. recom- mended whole-heartedly to-day that America participate in the Berlin games.
 "No one in Europe sympathizes with Germany's political and re- ligious policy" Henry said, "but they do not believe that has any bearing on the Olympics.
 Athletic leaders in other coun- tries can't understand why Ameri- cans 5000 miles away are advo- eating withdrawal from the games. The only European agitatoin against holding the games in Ber- | lin was started in France a few | weeks ago but quickly died out" Henry, who spent a month in Germany, France, Switzerland, England and Belgium, brought
 back glowing reports of prepara- tions bein mgade by the Germans
 "I believe the Berlin Olympics | will surpasS the games put on at Los Angeles in 1892" he said. Forty-eight countries, eight more than participated at Los An geles, and 3,2O0 athletes, about
 1,20O more than at Los Angeles, already have entered the Berlin games, according to Henry. A stadium seating 100000 is almost completed and 1000 men are
 working in three shifts to com plete the Olympic vilalge located
 in a 325-acre plot about IS min- utes from the center of Berlin. Henry voiced the opinion that | agitation against sending team
 to Berlin would blow over, and it's only effect would be to handi- cap the raising of funds for ex- | penses of the American team. During the games, Henry said, there will be little chance for racial or religious trouble. Athletes of all nations travel between the stadium and toher fields to the
 Olympic village by a private road.
 "A majority of the Germans I talked to were very upset about
 the agitation in America against competing" said Henry. 1T can guarantee that the Reich officials will lean over backward to extend every possible courtesy to visiting athletes"
 In consulting with German of- | ficials, Henry learned that Adolf | Hitler had reinstated Theororo Le- wald as chairman of the Olympic committee, after he had ordered
 his dismissal on the ground that his grandmother was Jew,

With both principals and their handlers expected in Waterbury at noon today, all preparations for the remainder of training activities at Oakville were made for Unknown Winston of Holyoke and Frank warjacks of Utica, N. r., this morning. Ralph Gold, manager of Hogan and handler of Warjacks in this territory expected to arrive with both boys late this morning while Winston had 3 o'clock training drill scheduled at the Oak vile camp directed by Jack Petruzio.
 SalvOs Slugger As more dope floats into the city concerning Leo Salvos, Chicopee Falls Frenchman who meets Bud Mignault of Brockton in the eight round semi-final, fans can feel req sonably certain that Salvos will make an Al impression with local ringworms Thursday night at Lakewood. His record of Al knock outs in 61 fights is indicative that he has a punch, while his opponent is nobody's pushover when it comes to trading the leather without backing up in the process. On paper, the Mignault-Salvos bout figures to be a hum-dinger from a punching angle.

Neither one of these men were approached regarding the matter, but President George V. Casey is expected to contact both men some time today. Old Dame Rumor has it that Cashin will probably be the likeable chairman as Allen is tied up with many other duties which will probably force him to pass up the offer.
 Donkeys Net $6O
 The drive was given a little inn petus when the comical donkey baseball game between, the Report CTS and Eddie Keenan's All-Stars netted $6O. This is a meager total considering that close to 5000 fans passed the turnstiles at Hamilton park with only $121 being collect ed, $61 of which were turned over to the donkey management.
 Four hundred and seventeen adults paid a quarter and 17S children purchased ten cent tick cts for the game which supplied the fans iwth laugh minute.
 Entry Fee Sent
 At the leagu meeting Treasurer Matt Dunphy was instructed to for ward the $50 entry fee to the Ma tional Amateur Baseball Fedora tion to make the City League win- ners eligible for the tournament in Cleveland which opens Sept. q.
 George Trask, manager of the Recreations, favored the league playing twilight ball as only three more Sundays and a holiday re- main before the season closes. In that time each team must play three games.
 Melvin Opposed
 Harry Melvin, manager of the Sacred Hearts, was not in favor of the twilight contest as he didn't believe in allowing his team to take a chance in seven inning frays. However, no action was definitely taken as league officials are con- fident they will be able to play off the three remaining games on three successive Sundays.
 The team personnels of the Hearts, Hills and Brooklyns. the latter of whom havo but an out side chance of coming through as City League champions, will be for warded to the national tourney off, ficials today as the deadline of en- tries is tomorrow. The winners will be allowed IT players, two Of whom may be drafted moundsmen.
 Cowboy Game on

 Chesson Treasurer

Hessian Fly Can Be Kept
Out Of Wheat

The Hessian fly, which costs
American farmers millions of dol
lars every year, can usually be kept
out of wheat by sowing the seed
during the fiy-free period.
Since there is no remedy, once
the fly has gotten in a field, said
c. H. Brannon, extension entomolo-
gist at State College, the only way
to control it is to keep it out of the
wheat.
The fiy-free periods vary in diff
ferent parts of North Carolina. In
the western part of the State it is
from September is to October S; in
the Piedmont from October I to
Is; and in the coastal plain area
from October Is to November l..
Every method of keeping the fly.
out Of wheat should be followed,
Brannon stated. Plow under all in
tested stubble soon after harvest.
Destroy all volunteer wheat and
pillow the wheat land as early and
deeply as possible. Prepare a pull
verified compact seed bed, use good
seed, fertilize well, and secure the
cooperationn of your neighbors,
Brannon urged.
Hessian fly damage is caused by
the maggots which feed on the
plants between the leaf sheaths and
the stems. Sometimes they kill the
plants outright. Frequently the
damage is so serious that the yield
is greatly reduced.
The resting stage, or pupae, of
the Hessian fly seen on wheat is
often called "faxseed." The adult
fly, very small and resembling
mosquito, comes from this FLAX
seed," Brannon pointed out.
Epecial efforts to wipe out the fly
should be made on farms where
this "fiaxseed" has been noticed on
the whea; he added.

FARM AND GARDEN
Turkeys Need Good Feeding

Six weeks before marketing, tur-
keys should be separated into three
groups: CD breeders for next sea-
son; (2) birds ready to finish out
for market, and (3) immature or
lightweight birds which need a
longer growing period.
This is advised by c. F. Parrish,
extension poultry specialist, who
says that turkeys should be given
growing mash and grain at night in
addition to being permitted to
range on cowpeas, grain, sorghum,
peanuts or alfalfa during the day.
"A good growing mash may be
made by mixing so pounds yellow
cornmeal, Is pounds shorts, Is
pounds bran, 10 pounds meat scrap,
five pounds dried milk, five pounds
alfalfa leaf meal, and one-half
pounds of iodized SALT" he states.
'"The dry mash can be kept in open
hoppers or can be fed as crumbly
wet mash in the afternoon. Feed
all the milk available. Gauge the
rate of development by your feed
ing, so that the birds will finish at
a desired time. Do not force early
Matched birds along too rapidly"
Where the farmer desires to
place the turkeys in close quarters
and force feed them for the last
four to six weeks, Parrish suggests
the following fattening mash: so
pounds white cornmeal, Is pounds
wheat grey shorts, 10 pounds dried
buttermilk, four pounds meat scrap
and one pounds salt. Another good
fattening ration may be made by
adding so pounds of cornmeal to
the above growing mash"
