Landnarks-PP.a' Farmers n7s:t. Aide Aided
By james BirchfieId

Today's farmer must be consid-
erably more than just q man who
can plow a straight furrow, or
who has the physical stamina to put
in IL hours q day.
He must be something OF scien-
tist, hard-headed business man,
and must have more imagination
than ever was required Of his father
and grandfather.
Many Of today's most successful
farmers are those men who have
had new ideas and have the ability
to make them work. One such man
Is Carlton Eller. a Culpeper County
dairy farmer and former county
agent.
Mr.. Eller is a successful dairyman

He milks about 10 COWS and his
monthly checks for milk sold on
the washington market are sub
stantial.
Although Mr.. Eller makes q good
living as q dairy farmer, last year
he conceived the idea that . farm
sideline might pay well.
The interest in hybrid corn has
been growing steadily among Vir-
ginia and Maryland farmers, and
Mr.. Eller thought that tho produc-
ton Of. hybrid seed corn might pay
good dividends. His idea proved
sound, because the few acres he de-
voted to his hybrid seed expert
ment netted him several thousands
Of dollars over the net income from
his dairy business.
County farmers this year are grow-
ing certified hybrid seed varieties
These include Earl Hawkins with
Is acres Of No. 357, Wilfrey Harris
with 10 acres Of Kentucky No. 203
Harry Berry with 20 acres Of No
357, Lindsay Brothers with 10 acres
Of No. 357 and Edward Duncan with
Is acres Of No. 357.
In addition, three Culpeper farm
ers are growing varieties OF hybrids
as demonstrations on their farms
These include l.. L. Clatterbuck
who has seeded varieties 342, 404
and 406; william E. S. Jones, who
has seeded Gill. 5l5W and 80
and Jimmie Walker, who has plant.
ed G-l35 and 81. These plots are
open for inspection by farmers who
may want to study the results.
Jap Beetle Program.
Montgomery County Agent o. w
Anderson has reported that ar
eisht-man crew soon will begin Z
campaign in the county for thl
control of the japanese beetle.
| In addition to beetle traps thai
will be placed in various localities
under the supervision Of the Uni.
versity Of Maryland Extension Serv.
ice, Mr.. Anderson said traps will
be available for lease by farmers a
the Bethesda and Silver Sprine
County Buildings and at the county
agents ONCE at Rockville.
After the beetle population has
been determined, Mr.. Anderson said
State Extension Service experts will
bait traps in thickly-infested areas
with spores of the milky disease
This disease will be carried to the
breeding grounds by the adult
beetles and viii infect the insects in
the grub stage. DDT also will be
used in some traps. Special traps
will be used to allow the beetles to
escape after coming In contact with
the insecticide. The beetles then
will die after their escape. relieving
workers Of the task Of emptying the
traps.
Mr.. Anderson also reported that
an on-the-job training program Il
open for veterans in the county
The program will be administered
by a committee composed Of the
county school superintendent, the
county agent, the vocational agri-
culture teacher, high school prin.
cipal and at least i've farmers.
Under the program. veterans may
train for from one to two years. The
farms on which the veterans will be
placed will be selected by the COM
mittee.

is "just below 1t pushing for the
light"
Growing alfalfa Is no longer .
problem to the Fairfax County
farmer as may be gathered from
the census figures, which show an.
increase Of 872 acres given to alfalfa
during the last four years. It might,
however, be interesting to pass on
the procedure followed by Mr.. Rice
In seeding his crop.
Before seeding time Mr.. Rice
disks ground limestone into the
soil at the rate Of two tons per
acre. When the seed Is sown he
applies from 800 to 1000 pounds Of
0-12-l2 or 3-13-6 per acre, and in
addition applies 400 pounds Of
0-12-12 or 0-14-7 fertilizer per acre
each spring. This additional fer.
tilization is economical, he says,
since it Is cheaper to hold the stand
rather than to reseed every two or
three years.
Mr.. Rice does not leave his cows
in the pasture overnight on the
theory that when IS cows lie down
once and get up it will ruin more
pasture than two or three days
grazing
Other Feed Unrequired.
One other apparent advantage
to alfalfa silage should not be
overlooked by farmers. Since the
silage is considerably richer in pro-
teins than other roughage 1t should
mean a reduction In the amount
of protein supplements necessary
for maximum milk production,
This feature is Of the utmost i'm.
portance during . period Of, acute
feed shortages.
According to the Beltsville tests
the alfalfa should be cut just before
the bloom and should be allowed to
wilt only slightly before storing In
the silo. The silase cutter blade
should be adjusted for q one.fourth.
inch cut for best results.
Weather conditions enter very
little into the harvesting schedule
when alfalfa Is cut for silage. The
roughage can be ensiled almost wet.
although too much moisture may
result in some spoilage.
While the Beltsville specialists do
not advocate the addition Of any
preservative, specialists at the Vir.
ginia Experiment Station at Blacks.
burg point out that when the
roughage is very wet, ground corn
meal or ground corn and cob meal
can be used as q preservative.
When corn or corn and cob meal
is used 1t should be added In the
following proportions to each ton Of
forage:
Soybeans, 200 pounds Of corn meal
or $50 pounds Of corn and cob meal;
alfalfa or clover. 200 pounds Of
corn, or $50 pounds Of corn and cob
meal; legumes with grasses, ITS
pounds of corn, or 225 pounds OF
corn and cob meal; immature grass,
$50 pounds Of corn, or 200 pounds
OF corn and cob meal; cereals, rs
pounds Of corn, or $50 pounds Of
corn and cob meal.
Fairfax County farmers who may
wish to make thorough investi-
cation of the possibilities Of graas
silage are invited to come to my
ONCE where we can discuss the
specific problems involved.

Veterans Guide
By Maj. Thomos M. Mol

Disabled vets still in Army and
Navy hospitals can get VAS nod to
go AHEAD with training under Public
Law 16 before they actually get their
final discharge.
VA will examine the Army or
Nays medical records to see
whether the serviceman will be elig-
ible for a disability pension when
he gets out. Then VA will make
what Is called memorandum
rating" on each individual case. If
that rating is 10 per cent or more,
VA says, start on your Public Law
is training.
1t affects the disabled veteran
who's just sitting around a hospital
for maybe an hours treatment a
day, or so the medics can keep an
eye on him for another month or
so before sending him back to
civilian life.
The hospital and VA people who
specialize in advisement and coun-
selling will get together with the
servicefhan Cor woman and give
some advice before any program of
education or training is fixed up.
OF course, there's a chance the
disabled serviceman won't be able
to take full-time training. Maybe
his health will not permit more than
four hours day Of school attend
ance or work as an apprentice
trainee.
Part-time Programs.
The VA says it will okay part-time
grograms If at the start you can't
PHYSICAL take any more. Yet
you'd be using up your period OF
eligibility just as though you were
going to school full time.
But you might come out about
even because the law says training
period longer than four years may
be approved by the Veterans Ad-
ministration in certain cases. A
VA official told me he thought one
reason that was included in the
law was to take care of those fell
lows who want to start training
while they're still in hospitals but
can't physically afford to work full
time.
Varied training programs, just
like the CT Bill education section
provides, are available under Public
16. That is, you can 60 to school
or college. or take training-on-the
job or apprentice training. Just
about anything you want-provided
the signs indicate there'd be oppor-
tunity for good employment when
you finish your training.
To be eligible for Public 16, or
vocational rehabilitation, you must
have ipensionable disability. No

New Oat Developed
Through Iowa Tests
BY Maryland Man

Maryland ana virginia farmers
may soon have available a new va
riety Of oat that has proven superior
to other varieties in yield, straw
and resistance to disease.
The Clinton, medium tall, yel-
low, early oat, was developed at the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton by plant scientists working un-
der the direction Of DR.. T. r. STAN
ton Of the Bureau of Plant Industry
at Beltsville. DR.. Stanton, native
Of Garrett County, Nd, and grad
uate Of the University of Maryland,
has headed the oats-breeding pro-
gram in the United States for the
last Is years.
The Clinton, which Is not a hybrid
but a new variety that comes from
hybrid origin, has consistently given
higher yields per acre than other
varieties. Its resistance to rust
makes the Clinton particularly IA
vorable for wet seasons, when plant
diseases are more difncult to control.
Clinton oats originated at the
Iowa station AZ selection from q
cross Of D-69 with Bond, and its
value was determined In tests in
Iowa and in neighboring States. The
parent, D-69, which gives Clinton
It's rust resistance, was developed
from cross of Richland and Green
Russian, while the other parent,
Bond, a stin -strawed, midseason va
riety, was obtained from Australia
by the Agriculture Department.
Clinton Easily Harvested.
According to tests, Clinton out
yields Tama, Boone and Marion va
rieties by an average Of about IA
bushels to the acre. It has sitter
straw and weighs out better than
other varieties and has the added
advantage Of being able to stand
longer in the field after ripening
than other varieties. Its stin straw
allows the Clinton to be easily har-
vested by combine In the field.
Despite its good record, scientists
point out that Clinton has some
weaknesses. For example, it Is bit
uneven In height, and in date. of
ripening and is susceptible to some
races Of crown rust-race IS In par
ticular.
The rapid rate at which scientists
were able to increase the amount of
seed Of the new varsity is one Of
the exciting chapters in plant
breeding.
Only % pounds Of, Clinton seed
was harvested at the Iowa station
in July. 1943. Three months later,
in November, this seed was sown on
irrigated land at Mesa, Ariz., and
more than 1000 pounds Of seed was
harvested from this planting.
Availability Speeded.
Then scientists rushed seed to
Aberdeen, Idaho, where it was sown
on irrigated land. Despite a storm
that damaged the ripening grain,
about 1900 bushels Of oats were har-
vested in August-little more than
q year after the original harvest of
23 pounds.
The variety was further increased
last year by selective growing pro-
grams conducted on Iowa farms,
and this year the seed was made
available to most Iowa farmers.
At the present rate Of increase,
agricultural scientists hope the Clin-
ton will be available to farmers in
many sections of the country who
wish to take advantage Of its in
creased yields and added strength.
