Her ailmenS was @ chronic fatigue which seemed impossible to over- come, her mother said. The l6 year old girl had been under the doctors care for more than e year. The doc- tors treatment had overcome her anemia, but the girl still seemed al- ways tired. She had been ready for college months ago but unable to 20, A metabolisIn test indicated that her thyroid function was nor- nal. So mother wrote or Doc Brady for instructions for taking an iodin ration, began giving the girl her daily iodin ration and later reported that the result had been simply wonderful" Let mother tell 1t herself:
 "The Doctor told me to com
 tinue 1t since 1t benefited her so
 much. She is starting in Junior
 College next week and is very
 happy, as 1 am also and most
 grateful She was so tired
 she couldn't enjoy life as other
 young people do, and now she's
 bubbling over most of the
 time"

 mention iodine deficiency as one of the fairly common conditions which are likely to be wrongly di- agnosed as "neurasthenia." I do not advise any one to take iodine or iodide in any dose for any ail- ment. I do believe most people in North America get insufficient iodin in water and food and that a suitable daily or weekly ration of iodine or iodide should be taken by them to supplement their deficient diet. Possibly some people can get sufficient iodine by simply using Iodized Salt for all household pur- poses instead of plain salt, although there is so little iodine in Iodized Salt that prefer not to depend on it-although we have used it exclus- sively in my own home for many years. I like to take my regular iodin ration (my spelling to indicate that 1t is nutritional, not medicinal lodine) every day or two or three times a week to make sure. Don't

Limited Time Left
To Insure Wheat,
Growers Reminded

Maryland and Virginia farmers
were reminded last week that they
have only until September 28 to ap-
ply for Federal crop insurance on
wheat to be sown this fall
Agriculture officials said farmers
who wish to make wheat insurance
applications should do so at theil
county triple-A office. The premium
this year ranges from one half tc
eight-tenths of a bushel of wheat
per acre sown.
The wheat crop insurance contract
guarantees maximum production
Of IS per cent of the average yield
for the insured farm against such
unavoidable hazards as winter kill,
hail, drought, insects. plant disease
and excessive rains. The insurance
does not cover the negligence of the
farmer. however.

10 Per Cent Increase
In Farm Marketing
Receipts Estimated

The Agriculture Department esti-
mated last week that cash receipts
from farm marketings this year may
total as much as 10 per cent more
than the $40, ,7sl 200, 900 received in
l945, and that gross farm income
probably will show a similar gain,
but with greater expenditure for
feed, labor and other production
items.
The department said since farm
production for sale and home con-
sumption this year is expected to
total about the same as last year,
the anticipated increase in farm in
come will come about largely because
of higher average prices.
From preliminary estimates, the
department said, cash receipts from
farm marketings during the first
seven months of this year were ap-
proximately $1,000 900 900, as COM
pared with $4,000, 900 900 received

Gardening in the Capital Area
Evergreens as Specimen Paintings
Needed to Enhance Interest
By W. H. Younemon

In modern landscaping, especially
In the medium -sized yards. there Is a
tendency to place most of the shrub
berry In the border. There are many
situations, however, where indivi-
dual trees or shrubs are needed to
enhance the interest in the yard. We
should consider the use of ever
green's as well as deciduous shrubs
An evergreen has the advantage OF
giving landscape effect in the win
ter and in the summer.
Too often we use evergreens (coni-
fers) in the border or in the foun-
dation planting that are better
adapted to the lawn as specimen
paintings. This Is particularly true
Of spruce, flr and cedar, none Of
which withstand severe pruning. 1t
is hard to say just which of these
three makes the best specimen plant
ings. In the Washington area there
are splendid examples of cedars. The
Deodar is probably more commonly
used. Spruce Is also good but rela-
lively short-lived. A good Douglas fir,
while rather large growing for most
yards, is a beautiful tree. The White
fir (Abies concolor) is highly desir-
able because Of its growth habit, but
like the Douglas fir, is rather too
large for many yards.
All OF these retain their lower
branches: have beautiful pyramidal
forms, and perhaps with the excep-
ton Of the spruce. seem to thrive in
this area. They do, however, need a
fairly moist situation. which may be
facilitated by keeping them well
mulched. Do not plant any of them
on a hot dry slope.
In using evergreens for specimen
paintings it is desirable to select a
well-grown properly trained plant
from the nursery. Avoid those with
two or more trunks There is too
much danger of their splitting as
the tree grows in height. A tree with
two or more trunks tends to open
up, even II it does not split.
A Crooked Trunk Is Bad.
A crooked trunk is bad, too, al
though hardly noticeable when the
tree Is small, but as the tree gains
in age it may become conspicuous
Injury to the leader may cause
stunting or at least produce a globu-
lar shaped plant rather than a pyra-
midal one. Excessive pruning may
have forced irregular growth while
In the nursery. These points should
be checked in selecting the specimen
that is to be conspicuous. and i'm
portant part of your landscape
planting. Watch for them.
Having selected choice specimen,
the second step Is to prepare the
planting hole. The plant will come
with ball Of earth about its roots
and wrapped in burlap. The hole
should be several inches larger in
diameter than the ball of earth. 1t

SAFE Pickle Juice
For Salads TO
| Conserve Sugar
By Moraoret McPhsstsrs

University Of Maryland Extension Service.
You can save one-quarter of q
cup of sugar every time you save
the Juice from a quart jar of sweet
pickles for use in salad dressings
or for sauce to be used over meats
and fish.
This saving can be translated
into real sugar in almost any fam
ily's food supply, since sugar used
for sauce over ham and other meats,
for salad dressings to 60 with the
many hot-weather dishes, and for
other f1avorings as well. may just
as easily come from the commercial
or homemade sweet pickles, as di-
rect from the carefully boarded
sugar in the bowl on the table
Pouring the sweetened Juice of
pickles down the drain, once the
pickles are gone, is just another way
Of wasting not only good food but
expensive f1avoring as we'll, since
the juice of the pickles contains
much of the flavor of the spices used
Picked pears or picked peaches
provide Juice that is excellent for
basting baked ham. or for making
a raisin sauce to 60 with the meat.
The juice, used with discretion. can
be used as a fiavoring for many
other kinds of meats as well. Try
the Juice also as dressing for fresh
cooked and cooled sliced beets, or
for sliced cucumbers.
Boiled salad dressing that re-
quires little fat or Oil is also popular
today as a means of flavoring sum-
mer foods. The pickle juice can
be used in place of sugar and vinegar
in your favorite recipe for this
dressing and may prove an even
more flavorful replacement for the
vinegar in French dressing.
Bright-colored pickle juice can
add color as we'll as flavor to COM
mercial salad dressings that are
thinned by the use of the juice
This not only adds taste but makes
the salad dressing last long.
The pickle juice is excellent as a
dressing for almost any chopped raw
salad dish, including cabbage slaw
When the homemaker is on the
hunt for ways to reduce use of sugar
SO that more can be saved for can
ming fresh fruits for winter use
she may want to test the pickle
juice as substitute wherever
vinegar or lemon juice are listed in
a recipe.
Any one making pickles this year
at home, in spite of the sugar short
age, will do well to save all the
liquid that is left over, once the
pickle jars are filled. The liquid
has one great advantage if kept
cool and clean it can be kept a long
time and used little by little.

nHTFeSL ana curing Oh RECORD
tobacco crop of about 5000 .000
pounds in Southern Maryland will
take all the work and ingenuity of
farmers faced with shortage of labor
and inadequate curing space in the
barns, according to report of the
Ave county agricultural agents to
Assistant Director E. I. Oswald OF
the University Of Maryland Exten-
sion Service.
With peak planting of more
than $4,000 acres this year, and a
yield expected to top $50 pounds to
the acre. the Maryland tobacco crop
will be about double the 81 900 600
pound crop of 1945 which was sold
this summer. and probably will be
a million or more pounds above the
previous record yield of 38,250, ,00O
pounds in 1914.
Tobacco growers, working on COM
mittees with the advice of the Ex-
intensive drive to increase tobacco
intensive drive to increase Tobacco
OF Maryland type in response to
demand from the trade for this crop
used for cigarette blends. The pro-
gram pushed by the growers in
cluded careful preparation and
watering of plant beds, spraying of
beds for disease control and use of
fertilizer for good growth.
Storage Crowded.
Growers will need to be careful in
cutting tobacco only when ripe. and
in housing it properly to get good
quality cured tobacco, warned Ex-
tension Tobacco Specialist Walter
B. Posey. Since shortage of mate
rails for building has prevented much
expansion of tobacco barn space
many farmers may tend to CROWD
the tobacco in barns and get much
damage from house burn when the
weather turns too humid.
Let the tobacco get ripe before
cutting Mr.. Posey advised, for fast
curing Of the crop. This will make
the curing time shorter by one OF
two weeks and give the grower g
chance to make room for more thar
one batch of tobacco in the curing
barn. Depending on weather ane
maturity, as we'll as weight of to.
hacco, the curing time may rang,
from IL days to as many as Al
days. with three weeks about tn,
average curing time needed.
He advised ample spacing of to.
bacco in the barn until 1t Is cured
when it can be rehung and moved
closer, to make room for more greer
tobacco. Farmers whose space i.
limited were advised to hang the
green tobacco on outdoor scaffold.
for the first four to six days to will,
the tobacco thoroughly before II
goes into the barn, to hasten the
curing time.
Reduce Humidity.
! Mr.. Posey also advised closinf
barns and use of charcoal to heal
the air and reduce humidity wher
the air reaches 80 per cent humidity
This is one sure way to get better
quality tobacco cured when the all
is over humid, he said
Local labor has a big job aheat
in tobacco harvest, with the peal
expected about Labor Day, and Ana
cutting Of the crop expected in mid
