the Indians were there to be killed

Vitamins Give Vigor, Vitality
All confined breeding hens need cod

Client amount of Vitamin D to meet
their needs. Vitamin D plays a big

feed for breeding fowls also contains
dried milk, for it's Vitamin G content.

PLANTING TREES TO
STOP SOIL EROSION

Farmers in the Maryland project
zion Service are planting trees on
steep, eroded hillsIdes on their farms
to stop dangerous erosion and turn
more or less useless areas to future
proht, according to o. G. Bruce, state
coordinator for the Service.
To date, he states, farmers who are
cooperating is putting erosion con-
troll plans into effect on farms In the
Hagerstown project and associated
camp work areas in Boonsboro, Har-
wood and Whitehall, have been aver
aging almost three acres OF reforesta-
ton work per farm. CCC boys have
done large part of the planting.
Mr.. Bruce points out that there are
large numbers OF farms in Maryland
where the type of reforestation work
being done in the projects might ap-
ply in stopping erosion on steep hill
sides and making them contribute
part of the future farm income. He
suggests that farmers who intend to
make tree paintings this spring to
control erosion contact their local
county agent or the extension fores-
ter for planting method details and
species of tree advisable for use.
recommendations of the Soil Con-
servatlon Service foreslers in the
areas where the projects are being
carried out state that trees should be
spaced feet by 5 feet, or feet by
6 feet. Various species are being
used to check erosion. Some of them
are red, white, Virginia. and pitch
pines; Norway spruce, oak; black To-
Gust; ash; and number of shrubs
and vines.
II the hillside is very steep, it is
considered advisable to stagger the
trees and plant them ON the contour.

TOMATO GROWERS URGED TO
USE STRONG, DISEASE FREE
PLANTS

Strong, healthy. disease-free to.
mato plants, not grown too close to.
gether, and transplanted at an early
date, are essential factors in tomato
production, it is pointed out by Her.
man A. Hunter, specialist in canning
crops for the University of Maryland
Extension Service. OF these factors,
probably the most important is heal
thy plants, for no future care can
overcome the effects of soft, spindly
tomato plants or those infected with
collar rot, leaf blight, or other d.
seases, it Is emphasized by Mr..
Hunter.
In trying to conserve on labor
most growers plant too thickly In the
plant bed. 1t would be far cheaper
II the same amount of seed were
planted in bed twice as large as Is
often used. On the other hand,
when the right amount OF seed is
planted, trouble is often encountered
IN getting the plants up. This can
be overcome if surface mulch Of
leaf mold or pulverlzed peat is used,
or il the soil over the row is mounded
TO depth of two or three lncnes I'M
mediately after planting. The extra
soil should be raked away as soon as
the seeds terminate and commence to
grow. In this way the seed will be
Kept moist until they have germin-
ated and crust will be prevented
from forming over the row.
Care should also be taken not to
force the tomato plants with heavy
fertilization. 1t is desirable to use
an average quantity of well-rotted
manure, supplemented with two or
three pounds of 4-8-5 commercial
fertilizer, or one higher in phos-
phorus, to each 100 square feet Of
bed. Too much nitrogen will make
the plants soft and subject to disease.

TELEPHONE ~
By w
Mzc..476MW

Telephone communication is becom-
ing more and more essential to the in
auguration Of the President Of the
United States. At the Capitol at Wash
ington, January 20: President Roose-
welt takes the oath Of Office, being
the first president to be inaugurated
under the twentieth amendment to the
Constitution. In taking the oath the
Presidents voice travels over tele-
phone lines and radio circuits for the
benefit of people in every city, town
and hamlet in the United States and
in many countries Of the world.
Telephone Lines
Picture transmission by telephone
lines to all parts of the country in
sures appearance Of events in papers,
in many cases on the same day of the
ceremony. Loud speakers convey to
the audience present around the Capt.
tol and along the ceremonial march
to the White House step-by-step &C.
currences. The inauguration, in fact,
is a communications one.
Telephone communication played its
first permanent part at inaugurations
when the late President Warren G..
Harding took the oath Of Office, March
4, 1921. At that time the Bell public
address system made its initial ap-
pearance before a large group esti-
mated at 100000 people around the
Capitol. When Calvin Coolidge be-
came president, March 4, 1925, the
public address system again came into
use and in addition the ceremonies
were broadcast from twenty one radio
stations throughout the United States,
these stations being connected by tele-
phone lines. Picture transmission by
telephone lines also played an impor-
tant part In this ceremony.
Picture Transmission
At the Inauguration Of President
Hoover, March 4, 1929, the public ad-
dress system, more radio stations con-
nected by telephone lines and telephoto
pictures were the features Of the day.
Telephone communication speeding
inauguration events is taken as a mat
ter of course. In the case Of General
Washington's Inauguration, even the
generous time allowances were found
insufficient. He was not notified Of his
election until April IA, following the
casting of all electoral ballots on the
first Wednesday in February. Leaving
his home on April 16, Washington
reached New York in time to be pres
emit at his inauguration on April 80,
1889.
Telephone and other electrical com
munications bring inaugural events to
the people as they occur.

CALVES REQUIRE LITTLE MILK

"With good cows as high as they
are today. and the milk markets taking
all the milk that is produced. dairy
men everywhere are beginning to feel
that the most profitable way of main
tanning a herd Is by raising their own
heifers." says W. r. Arends calf rails
ing authority at Purina Mills. "And
many milk producers are finding out
how easy II Is to raise their future
cows by modern methods.
"TOday's methods make II possible
to raise calves with little milk"
Arends points out. Modern calf feeds
supply everything that milk and grain
do-and at a much lower cost. Our
own latest calf feed Is an all-in-One
product that's fed dry and puts an end
to the fuss and worry Of messy gruels
and bucket washing. This new calf
startena Is ready to feed right from
the bag All one has to do Is to pour
1t into feeders and let the calves help
themselves"
