Training of Youth
Is Vital Item on
Virginia Farms
By 1. B. Dietrick
Director. virginia Extension Service

Director, Virginia Extension Service
The most important single item
produced on Virginia farms today is
not livestock or a crop product, but
boys and girls. Rural youth are not
only vitality important to the future
progress of agriculture in the State
but they are also important to urban
areas where many of the States
farm youth must migrate to earn
their livelihood.
The training of boys and girls on
Virginia's farms, therefore, is mat
ter to be considered by all the citi-
zens of the State. Available to the
States 387 900 rural youth, is the
work OF the All Club program, con-
Quoted as special phase of the
Agricultural Extension Service.
Last year, SO of the 100 Virginia
counties were active in Al work

projects totalled well over $3.50 900
In spite of extensive activity by
nearly 10000 club members in ami
NAL husbandry, dairying, poultry
fruit and vegetable production
field crops, forestry, bees and diverse
other projects, we are still only
scratching the surface. Only one
out of 10 persons is being reached
by program designed to trair
rural youth to become better citizens
Of the community, State and Ma
ton.
Although club membership is or
the increase, there is q vital neec
for greater participation. Every
effort should be made to include al

Gardening in the Capital Area
Colorful Iris in Ample Supply
At Opportune Culture Time
ByW. H. Younomon

Many gardeners have been COM
planning about the scarcity and high
prices of shrubs and flowers, but
this hardly applies to garden iris.
This ancient and colorful garden
perennial Is In ample supply and
the catalogue prices were set and
the lists printed before OPA took
its vacation. There seems to be an
ample supply of iris for garden
rainbows.
Most gardeners, however, seem
hesitant about buying some Of the
better, more colorful varieties, being
content to continue on with the
older and oftentimes less desirable
varieties. Iris culture is not new,
but the colorful varieties now on
the market were developed during
the last 20 to Is years.
Midsummer. or shortly after the
Towering period is over, Is the time
to divide old clumps OF iris or to
buy new varieties. At that season of
the year the feeding roots seem to
die of and the plants enter a more
or less dormant period, one in which
they can be shipped and handled
with little or no shock to thesplant
If they are to make strong growth
and perhaps bloom next year we
should not delay purchase of new
varieties nor the division of old
clumps.
In buying new iris 1t Is we'll to
select varieties which have demon
strated hardness. With introduc-
ton Of some of the newer colors
obtained by crossing with species
from the Mediterranean area, breed
ers sacrificed some of the hardness
This is one reason for buying from
Evening star., 1946-07-21

Washington area iris growers and
breeders.
In selecting varieties one need not
be too greatly influenced by the
price, ie., just because a variety is
high price Is no indication that it
is the best. Many of the winners
of the Dykes Medal, the highest
award in the iris world, are today
available at prices ranging from Is
to so cents root.
OF the nine American varieties
that received the medal prior to
1910, all are available at these low
prices. Only three of the French
varieties that were elected to this
select group are advertised at prices
above so cents each. The same
seems to be true of the English va
rieties, only the recent winners
being listed at prices above so cents
1t is interesting to note that Spun
Gold is the only yellow American
variety to make this selected group,
while four yellow French varieties,
Pluie dor, Eclador. Alice Harding
and Antigone, have been honored.
Not single American white variety
has rated so far, but two of the Eng
lish, Gudrun and White City. have.
American winners have largely been
in the blue and red-copper tones.
Although San Francisco, a strong
growing plicata. white with blue
edge and the first winner OF the
medal, is still an outstanding variety
and well worth growing.
The iris fan can enjoy first-class
iris in most of the color classes
without major expenditure, simply
by selecting a few of the older win
ners of the Dykes Medal.

Gardening Tips
For This Week

Rotenone sprinkled literally on
the soil about cucumber and squash
plants is reported to give some con-
troll over the squash bug and the
striped cucumber beetle.
DDT for the pests is still In the
experimental stage. Although DDT
burns some varieties of squash, it's
probably better to have some burn
than to let the bugs ruin the plants
For experimental purposes a gar
dener might try busting every 10
days with 3 per cent mixture.
1t is time to order spring flower
ing bulbs for September delivery
Apparently the supplies are not
large, but we shall be happy to get
even few. Dutch grown bulbs are
too well known to need description
Now that the raspberries are
through fruiting, it is time to re-
move the old canes. This serves two
purposes: /. Throws the plants
strength into new canes which will
bear next season. 2. The old canes
are most likely to be diseased.
Thin the suckers OF the rasp-
berries to 3 or 4 canes per crown
Keep them protected with bordeaux
to control the leaf spot.
It Is time to set out late celery
and cabbage plants for winter stor-
age.
Keep the garden soil well stirred
not deeply-to control weeds and
to conserve moisture.
August is the month for planting
Oriental poppies and Madonna lilies
They should be ordered now. Peonies
and daffodils should be planted In

to insure getting the varieties and
quality desired.

More Area Farmers
To Get Electricity
Under 1916 Loans
By jones BirchfieId

The Rural Identification Admin
istration has reported 3,0l2 farm
families in Maryland, and 1888
families in Virginia may be served
with electric power this year as .
result Of 1916 loans for the extension
of cooperative power lines in the
two States.
The advantages of electricity on
the farm, while widely publicized,
have been realized only to a small
degree in many rural areas. The
gains yet to be made were empha-
sized in a 1914 survey which dis
closed only IS per cent OF REA-con-
nected farm homes had pressure
water systems, II per cent had toi-
lets, 10 per cent had tubs and show
ers, less than Is per cent had small
motors. only 5 per cent had large
motors, and only 2 per cent had feed
grinders.
While this survey, made for the
entire Nation, Is two years old, it
may be considered as fairly accu-
rate today since war restrictions re-
tarded the manufacture OF elec.
trical appliances.
The gains in both production and
living standards that result from
farm electrification are so obvious
that it is difficult to understand
why farmers who have access to
power lines have not always &C.
cepted their advantages.
On one farm In Ohio, for example,
COWS which produced 216.1 pounds
Of milk while being hand-watered
twice day, increased production to
2216 pounds Of milk after an elec-
trio water system was installed. In
addition, the work saved during the
five winter months amounted to ITS
hours.
Many Uses Found.
The uses for electricity on the
farm are many, and as science ad-
vances the skill OF farming, even
more uses are being found.
Electric hay driers, which take .
large part of the risk out of the
farmers feed supply, are being in
stalled on many farms; deep freeze
units for farm homes are being de-
signed and electric soil heaters for
hot beds may assure earlier and
Fsturdier plants.
There are also other smaller jobs
that electricity may do for the
farmer, such as bone grinding, bot
tie washing. brooding, clipping, con-
crete mixing, conveying materials
into storage, cream separating.
chicken picking, barn cleaning,
grain cleaning, hammer milling.
corn shredding and husking, milk
ing and milk cooling and potato
cleaning and grading.
New Potato Variety.
A few potato seed balls that were
given to q Virginia Polytechnic In
Stitute professor give fair promise
Of becoming the foundation Of .
new late potato variety, particular
ly suitable to farms in the Old
Dominion
Seven Of the unidentified seeds,
given Dean H. L. Price of the agri-
cultural school by friend, were
planted in April. 1945. Five of the
seeds produced plants that seemed
to justify further experimenting and
three OF the vines produced yields of
average or above.
DR.. w. S. Flory, jr., Experiment
Station horticulturist, said there il
no known variety of late potato that
is we'll suited to Virginia, adding
that these varieties may provide
State growers with a strain that can
be harvested just before the first
killing frost.

machinery Is available, their damage
has been slight.
In Fairfax County, Joseph E
Beard, county agent, said the picture
is generally good in spite Of an "ur1-
usually heavy" infestation Of the
Japanese beetle.
Wheat yield, he added, is about :
per cent greater than last year
while barley is about 10 per cent
better. Hay and other pasture
grains, he said, have been curtailed
slightly by the lack OF rain, but not
excessively.
Corn Probably Saved.
The corn crop probably has been
saved, Mr.. Beard explained, because
it was planted three weeks later
than usual this year. This has kept
it from being devoured In its early
stage by the beetles. now at their
peak of destruction.
o. w. Anderson, Montgomery
County agent, said the wheat har-
vest is now well in" and has pro-
duced q yield he considers to be
fair" All other crops he considers
as standard"
Some sections Of Prince Georges
County, p. E. Clark, county agent
says, are in the drought stage, but
nevertheless the county's main crop
tobacco, is yielding heavier than
ever" this year. 1t is one of the few
crops, incidentally, which the Japa-
nese beetle does not attack.
The corn crop will probably be
good also in Prince Georges, he
added, providing there is enough
rain.
Loudoun County Agent J. r. Lint
ner said that the wheat crop has
been "spotty" this year due to scat
and rust, and that the European
corn borer has made some inroads
on corn.
Loudoun Hay Crop Large.
The hay crop is described as large
in Loudoun County, while the apple
and peach trees in the large orch.
ards promise a good yield, except
where the frost injured them.
Disease and rust have also affected
the wheat in Frederick County, H
r. Shoemaker, the agent there, de.
clared.
Corn Is considered fair" while
barley and hay are good" this yeal
