FARMS AND GARDENS

He pointed out that it is particu-
larly important that farmers keep
records showing the acreage OF
green manure crops grown and the
date they are turned under.
They should also keep receipts
showing purchases of ground lime
stone or superphosphate applied to
the soil as soil-building practice.
AS further means of proof, the
dean suggested that farmers notify
their local committeeman, or their
county agents Office, whenever they
carry out soil-building practices. .
The notification does not have to
be in writing, he continued. The i'm
portant thing is to inform the com
mitteemen.
Then in checking up on a growers
compliance, the committeeman will
take note of the practices carried out
and give the farmer credit for them,
Before producer can qualify for
the payments, the dean emphasized,
he will be required to submit proof
of the soil-building practices he has
followed.

GOOD PASTURES NEEDED
IN LIVESTOCK GROWERS

Cattle get plenty of exercise but
little meat and milk from worn out
pastures, according to James M.
Parks, agronomist of the Soil Con-
servation Service in North Carolina.
Properly managed pastures con-
troll erosion on sloping fields and
produce the cheapest of all livestock
feeds. Overgrazed pastures are soon
reduced to play ground for hun
cry cows and mules, says Parks.
Good permanent pastures prevent
losses of topsoil and the formation of
gullies. Together with trees they
represent the only natural and in
com-producing means for protecting
slopes too steep for the production
of clean-cultivated crops.
If you want to keep your pasture
from becoming livestock kymnas-
ium and protect the soil from wash
ing away, Parks suggests the appli-
cation of these timely pasture hints:
l. Do not Craze heavily in dry
seasons.
2. Now the weeds and shrubs that
rob moisture.
8. Let new seedlings make good
top growth before grazing.
4. Plant temporary pastures of Su-
dan grass, soybeans, cowpeas, ETC.,
to tide the livestock over the entire
season.

SQUASH TRAPS PROTECT
MELONS AND CUCUMBERS

The spotted worms preference for
squash gives watermelon, cantaloupe
and cucumber growers a convenient
and effective means of controlling
this pest.
The moths which produce these
worms will not lay their eggs in
melon or cucumber blooms when
squash blooms are available close by,
said c. H. Brannon, extension ento-
mologist at State College.
In areas where spotted worms
have been found in recent years,
Brannon pointed out, growers
should plant squash in their melon
and cucumber patches.
The first planting of squash should
be at the same time as the planting
of the crop that is to be protected.
At intervals of ten days, plant more
squash until four successive plant
ings have been made.
This will provide a continuous
supply of squash blooms to trap the
moth eggs, Brannon said. The squash
blooms should be picked off and de-
stroyed at least twice a week.
In large fields, it is advisable to
plant four to eight rows of early
squash to each acre of melons or Gu
cumbers. The squash should be be-
tween the rows of the other crop.
In gardens, protection may be Civ
en- the melons and cucumbers by
planting squash in every fourth or
fifth hill of each row.
This method Of control usually
costs the grower nothing, Brannon
added, as after the other crops have
been harvested, enough squash can
often be picked to offset the cost of
planting.
Unless they are kept out, spotted
worms often prove a serious menace
by boring into melons and cucum-
bers from the lower side and render
ing them unfit for consumption.

Y. S. Not Ready to
Recognize Italian
Victory in Africa
English Foreign Secretary Will
Not Recognize Downfall =
of Halle Selassie

From high administration sources
in Washington came definite indica-
lions Monday that the United States
would withhold recognition OF
Italian sovereignty over Ethiopia
temporarily at least.
Secretary Hull announced that the
American government had given its
approval to a newly appointed
Italian ambassador to Washington
but intimated plainly that the en-
voy's reception here constituted in
no way American recognition OF
Ethiopia.
On the same day Foreign .Secre-
tary Anthony Eden told the British
House of Commons he would neither
propose nor assent" to recognition
of Italy's annexttion of Halle Selass-
les empire He also told parliament:
/. That a shipment of arms con-
signed from the Sudan to western
Ethiopia had been halted for lack of
constituted authority in that region,
where Gala tribesmen were believ-
ed to have recognized no sover-
eighty.
2. The British government is with
out power to grant loans or credits
to Italy, and does not intendt to seek
that power.
8. The British position on loans to
Italy will be started in due course.

Question: What must substitute
for green feed to keep my layers in
health and production?
Answer: Where green feed is not
available, balanced laying mash
reinforced with a potent fish oil
should be kept before the birds at
all times. The addition of from 5
to and one-half percent of alfalfa
leaf meal will, in most cases, pro-
vide ample insurance for the lack of
this green feed. Where possible, de-
hydrated alfalfa leaf meal should
be used. The use of this leaf meal
and good laying mash should keep
the birds in a good, healthy, laying
condition.

Watch the flock carefully during
June and July and Gull out these
birds that 60 into a mott during
these months. 1t is sometimes stated
that when a flock, especially in the
summer months, falls below 80 per-
cent production it is time to Gull the
entire flock. However, the price re-
ceived for eggs, the price Of feed,
and the feed cost per dozen eggs will
determine the time and intensity of
culling.

Question: When should / start to

Answer: Culling is almost con-
tinuous process and should be prac-
ticed throughout the year. For the
laying flock, however, the most rigid
culling is done toward the end of
the laying period which, under nor
NAL conditions begins in July and
continues through the fall months.

RECORDS HELP GROWERS
QUALIFY FOR PAYMENTS

Farmers participating in the new
farm program need to keep records
of the soil-conserving crops they
grow and the soil-building practices
they carry out.
The records will be a means Of
proving they are entitled to soil
building payments, said Dean I. O.
Schaub, director of the State College
extension service.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT COLLEGE

Question: Should sheep be taken
off feed before drenching for stom-
ach worms?
Answer; Yes. The animals should
be off feed for at least "a hours be-
fore and kept from water and feed
for at least five hours after drench-
ing. The nicotine solution used in
drenching is made by mixing togeth-
er one-half ounce of 40 percent nico-
tine sulphate (Black Leaf 4O) and
one quart of water with the mature
animals receiving from two to three
ounces of this mixture and lambs
from one to two ounces at each
treatment. Usually one or two treat
ments are sufficient, but in cases of
severe infestation both lambs and
ewes should be drenched every two
to four weeks until frost.

Question: What can / do to keep
the terrapin bug out of my garden?
Answer: Applications of a Rote-
none-Talc dust containing one per-
cent of rotenone will give good con-
troll of this insect Use sufficient dust
to cover the plants thoroughly and
repeat every week as long as is nee
essary for control Applications
should also be made after every
rain. A dust containing three-quar-
tiers of one percent of rotenone can
also be used, but requires very lib
eral applications. Rotenone is not
poisonous to humans.

 After this point was conceded, ace cording to their statement, ITO our surprise employers came forward with a demand that the entire rec yised contract, already approved by them aS individuals, must Dc recoll- sidered, rchashcd and reframed." The union takes the stand that the disagreement arose from refusal of the operators to concede to their re. quests for higher pay for local drivers and platform men. At this point, they assert, the mediation board meeting came to an end. They further claim that employers made 1t known that any negotiations made before the mediation board would Do without effect"

 If the former drivers make e better income by following MT. Nay- Tor and MT, Tata, they have that privilege, but if most of them wish to resume work at higher wages, they must meet in c body, give the employers c chance to deal with them directly and accept the condi- tion." Edmund J. Naylor, and Ru- dolph Tata; business manager and president of the union respectively, are the recognized spokesmen for the strikers.
 Both Deny Story
 Both have denied the assertion that that strikers are being kept in Ignorance of the employers efforts ct arbitration. They claim that the men wereasked individually to ex- press their views on future policy ct 6 meeting held last Sunday, at- tended by James P. Corrigan, presi- dent of the Waterbury Central Labor Union, and James P. Donahue, vice president of the state branch of the American Federation of Labor, and that it was unanimously voted to re- main on strike and insist upon the requirements of the contract sub- mitted at the mediation board meeting.
 Tn answer to the assertion of op- orators that local drivers were paid more than the rate prevailing at Hartford, they point out that em- ployes in this city, dissatisfied with wages, will meet tomorrow to decide whether or not to go on strike.

 "The program of MT. Landon. if carried out. would make every strike illegal, and every picket Q lawbreaker. It would sanctify the company unions and the miserable travesty on collective bargaining called the 'Employe representation plan
 "It would paralyze the movement to organize American labor.
