Maryland Forests
May Help Veterans
In Timber Shortage

The present scarcity of lumber
needed in the veterans home building
program should receive the attention
of those Maryland timber owners who
are in position to help increase pro-
duction of this vital material, Dist
riot Forester William H. Johnson, of
Cumberland, declares.
Congress has appropriated fifteen
million dollars for access road to tim
Der in the national forests of the deep
south and far west, but right here in
Maryland, Johnson says, are stands
of pine, poplar, and other easily
worked woods that could help out
materially in the shortage at a very
satisfactory money return.
The Department of State Forests
and Parks, will mark trees to be
taken from the stand in a way to en-
sure maximum returns, and at the
same time leave a healthy young
growing stock for future crops.
Application for this marking ser
vice should be made to the District
Forester, Court House, Cumberland.
No charge is made for an exami-
nation of a timber tract to determine
whether it is in condition to be log
ged, nor for marking up to twenty
five acres. For acreage in excess of
twenty-five, a marking charge is
made of fifteen dollars per day to
cover expenses of the Departments
representative.

Gull Laying Flocks
To Save Feed

With feed scarce and very high in
price, every flock owner is obliged to
Gull his flock rigidly during the sum-
mer and early fall months. Culling
saves feed by removing the loafers
in the flock, says John Carter, County
Agent of Garrett county.
Hens that are out of production
now will probably not lay enough
eggs during the balance of the lay
ing year to make a profit, he said.
At present feed prices, he quoted Dr.
Morley A. JUL, head of the Univer-
sity of Maryland Poultry Depart
ment as saying the cost of feed repre-
sents 60 percent or more of the total
cost of producing eggs. A non-laying
Leghorn consumes about 6 pounds of
feed per month and a non-laying New
Hampshire or Barred Plymouth Rock
consumes about " pounds of feed
per month,
The price of laying mash is well
over 80 dollars per ton to most poul-
trymen, County Agent Carter said
but with half mash and half scratch
grain at 80 dollars, it costs about "a
and 80 cents month, respectively, to
feed Leghorn and general purpose
non-layer. Hens that don't lay pro-
duce no returns; in fact, increase the
losses resulting from low production
in the flock as a whole. Moreover, a
lot of hens that are out of production
now will probably start their annual
mott in July and take a long rest.
Every flock owner, can stretch his
feed supplies and make more money
by culling not only the non-layers but
also the poor producers. DR.. JUL
points out that flock owners who arc
not getting about 60 eggs per day
for each leo birds in his flock are
probably making little if any profit
In order to affect production as

Widow, 68, Injured
AS Gas Blast Wrecks
Bungalow in Virginia

A violent explosion early today
wrecked small bungalow in Vienna
Va, critically burning Mrs. Kate
Smith, 68-year-old widow, who lived
alone in the place
The force of the explosion was so
great that it left the roof of the
two-room dwelling sagging, the walls
bulged out and the top of chimney
torn off.
Fairfax County police said escap-
ing gas from a commercial system
was thought to be the cause OF the
blast which occurred when Mrs.
Smith lighted a match at about
4 am
When police and firemen entered
the building a short time later, they
found Mrs. Smith in a dazed condi-
ton, sitting on her bed which was
burning, Policeman j. A. Wahl said.
She was taken to Arlington Hospital.
Some upholstered furniture also
was afire, but firemen extinguished
the flames before they could spread.
Mrs. Smiths sister, Mrs. Grace
Reardon. 4915 Forty second street
NV, was summoned to the hos
pital. A brother, Edgar Mccarthy
employed by the Capital Transit
Co, lives nearby in Vienna.
Relatives said Mrs. Smiths hus-
band, an Army sergeant, died in 1926
and that Mrs. Smith had sold large
home to live alone in the bungalow.
