Husband OF Local Girl Featured
In Magazine Article

William Warfeld, son of Mrs. Flea
aor Warfield and the late John r. War
ield, of Cumberland, and husband of
5be former Miss Mary Lynn McIntire,
81 Oakland, is featured as one of the
aarion's leading experts on beans in an
article by David Burpee, celebrated
naturalist, in the June "a issue of the
Saturday Evening Post.
Warfeld, a graduate of Allegany
High school, Cumberland, completed
MS course in agriculture at the Uni
versity Of Maryland at the head Of
ais class and has rapidly forged to the
front until now he is head vegetable
breeder at famous Fordhook Farms,
and the leading authority in the coun-
cry on garden beans.
Mr.. Burpee tells in his article how
The former Cumberlander set about to
grow every known variety of bean in
Inc entire world. He got specimens
from Japan, South Africa, Java, Aus
T-alia. all the countries of Europe and
North and South America. All togetn-
Al. ne gathered GIT individual varie-
sizes Of beans and grew them in care
fully marked rows at Fordhook
Farms,
No foreign variety could compare
WIN American beans for taste, ten
derness and freedom from strings,
Narfeld found. But some varieties
from Europe were such beautiful
green that an attempt will be made
TO improve the color of American
beans, and from the GIT varieties
build" a hybrid that will combine
.he attractive characteristics of all.
The article in the Post is illustrated
with a photograph in colors of Gel

AVOID 'IEAFLETS THREE"
is ADVICE OF PHYSICIAN
Poison Ivy Is Determined And
Luxuriant Grower In Some
Localities

Use your eyes when you go through
5he woods. You can recognize poison
IVY by the way its leaves are divided
INTO threes. If you see leaflets three,
let them be- -, sums up the answer and
advice Of DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the Maryland State Department Of
Health to a question as to how to avoid
the danger of skin poisoning
natitis-from contact with poison ivy.
an this part of the world, poison
IVY is a very persistent pest" DR..
Riley continued "You will find the
Tine festooned over fences and fence
posts, growing over walls, climbing up
and over tree trunks, scrambling along
the ground or attaching itself to I'M
jergrowth. 1t is a determined and very
uXuriant grower. You can't miss it.
Bat avoid touching it. You can easily
distinguish it from other vines by its
shree leaflets. 1t is often entangled
With Virginia creeper or wOOdbine.
Bnt the Virginia creeper has five leaf
lats-not three and is harmless.
The skin poisoning caused by pois
on ivy and by other members of the
same plant family, is due to an irritat-
ng,resinous substance in the sap of the
plants. Anybody who has ever suffered
an attack of poisoning from poison ivy
has every reason for remembering to
keep hands off it. The slightest brush
ing of the leaves or handling of the
plants will release the poisonous sap.
Il is deposited on anything that
touches it, not only on the hands and
face, but on clothing, shoes, tools, gar
den implements, golf clubs, golf balls
ard the fur Of animals. The poison
may even be carried long distances in
The smoke from burning the leaves or
stems or roots of the plants in camp
ires and in brush fires.
'"The best way to protect yourself
against poison ivy dermatitis is to
avoid touching the plants. If you hap
pen to come in contact with poison ivy
Che first thing to do is to lather the
hands and other affected parts, thor
3ughly, with suds from a good alkiline
soap-strong, yellow kitchen soap
riusing frequently in clear water The
abundant soapy lather will help dis
solve the oily sap, which is not affected
by water, alone. But be very careful in
rinsing not to spread the irritating
poison.
The poison retains its strength for
I long time on objects that have come
n contact with it-even lasting from
one season to another. Clothing or
.oois or other objects that have been
contaminated by the sap or juices
from the plants should be thoroughly
scrubbed with soap suds before they
are put away.
Constitutional disturbances, fever,
digestive and kidney complications
nay occur in connection with the skin
poisoning produced by poison ivy and
,ther members of that plant family.
accordingly, as soon as any signs of
the poisoning occur, consult your fam
2y doctor. He will give you detailed
directions as to what you should do"

Has Herd Free of Bangs Disease

The herd of cattle owned by Roy O.
Winters, of the Highland Dairy, from
which many Oakland people receive
their milk supply, is entirely free from
Bangs disease, according to the re-
suits Of tests made recently by veter-
inarians of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
There are 27 head Of cattle in the
derd. All have been tested three times
5his year by S. Richman, veterinarian
and there were no reactors and nc
suspects, the report stated. Bangs dis
ease in cattle sometimes causes undu-
liant fever in human beings. The test
for Bangs disease is being made
throughout the county to keep the
area accredited as being relatively
free from the disease Since the test
vas made Mr.. Winters has acquired
Two more cows, both of which had
health certificates.
