In his reply to Cmdr. Stee, Mr.. Hearst said
"Cmdr. Stelle and distinguished associates

Record Farm Output Forecast
Government Survey Prophesies
IL Per Cent Increase by 1850
By jones BrchfieId
By jones BirchfieId

end Of 1943, the report said, more
than half of the Nations farms were
included in soil conservation dis
tricts, and longtime conservation
plans had been developed for more
than 100000 of these farms, COM
prising upward of 54,O00,O0O acres.
The use of lime and commercial
fertilizer was greatly increased dur
ing the immediate preWar and war
years, the report stated, and con-
siderable part of the larger farm
production can be attributed to the
use of these materials. The annual
use of lime will need to be increased
in the postwar years If all the land
in the humid regions that needs
lime for soil-maintaining crop ro-
tations is to receive an initial ap-
plication, it added.
Improvements Predicted.
Among crop changes, the most
significant were the development of
hybrid corn and new varieties of
disease-resistant and higher-yeild-
ing small grains.
Looking at the livestock picture,
the report said there Is evidence Of
increased efficiency in livestock pro-
duction for greater output per unit
of feed. Milk production, for ex-
ample, was maintained at high lev
els during the war, and reached an
all-time peak Of 4,789 pounds per
cow in 1915.
Records Of dairy herd improve
ment associations, however, indicate
a greater milk production-per-cow
potential, and with the development
during the coming years of arti-
fetal dissemination production is ex-
pected to reach new levels, the re-
port added.
Looking beyond the first transi-
ton years to the time when farm
ing will be adjusted to peacetime
conditions, the report predicted:
/. A continued increase In me-
chanical power on the farm until it
has largely supplanted animal
power.
2. Further adaptation of machines
for use with mechanical power, with
each phase Of agricultural produc-
ton becoming more mechanical and
more fully adapted to mechanical
power techniques.
3. An increase above wartime
levels in the use of lime and COM
mercial fertilizers.
4. Along with the increased use OF
lime and fertilizer will come more
rapid adoption Of other conservation
practices, such as using winter cover
crops, grass and legume crops in
rotation and strip cropping and
other erosion control measures.
S. Further Improvements in plant
varieties.
6. More efficient methods of con-
trolling insect pests and diseases
that attack both plants and ami
mails.
7. Animal breeding experiments
already under way will gradually in
crease the efficiency of livestock
production.
8. Further improvements in feed
ing methods will increase the per
animal output.
8. Some new land will be brought
under cultivation by irrigation,
drainage and clearing, but the total
is not likely to exceed from 5000, 600
to 100000 acres in the next five
years.
10. Some land will be abandoned
in the poor land areas, and if full
employment continues, many small
and unproductive farms will shift
from full to part time operation.

Care of Evergreens Stressed
Foundation Tree Paintings Require
Annual Pruning to Assure Results
By w. n. Younomon

terminal bud on the leader (tip Of
the trunk results in several leaders.
This is undesirable for these kinds
of evergreens, even though 1t may
be corrected by careful pruning and
training. Cutting back the tips of
branches results in new branches
(twigs) which are desirable. How
ever, 1t does not result In new
growth inside of the branch tips
where it is usually desired to give
the tree a more leafy, compact ap-
pearance. AS general rule these
evergreens should not be used in
situations where pruning is neces-
sary in order to conflne them to q
given space.
Prune Arborvitaes.
The arborvitaes, one of our moro
widely planted coniferous evergreens,
needs an annual pruning to keep it
compact and well-leafed. The
chamaecyparis formerly known as
retinispora) unless pruned regular
ly, soon becomes a towering tree.
The jumpers, including the pfitzer,
seem to develop new growth faster
than the roots can support it, hence
the older leaves oftentimes turn
brown and fall. BY removing some
of the new growth each season, the
older leaves retain their natural
color and remain in place.
Pruning evergreens in the founda-
ton planting necessarily calls for
heavier and more drastic pruning
than is needed for those in the
shrub border or those used as
specimen plants in the lawn. This
is especially true where such strong
growers as the American arbor-
vitae, chamaecyparis plumosa (re-
tinispora plumosa, or Canadian
hemlock are used. If left unchecked
they will soon hide the house. Even
with regular and heavy pruning it
it difficult to keep them down In
size for long.

4-HClub Program

To Citizenship

One Of the most important phases
Of the Virginia Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, organized primarily to
work with farm people, is the Al
Club program in which rural youth
are trained to become better citizens
In 1945, All Club work was car
ried on in SO Of the 100 counties
in the State. There were 1875 Or
ganized clubs, with an enrolment
Of 38,111 members. Club member
ship increased ALSO members OF
1872 per cent over the preceding
year. White club members num-
bered 14,O05 and Negro club men,
bers 14,406. All members carried
on 51,655 projects covering the field
of farm and home activities.
In agricultural projects, 19,749
club members conducted II ,434 prof.
ects in animal husbandry, dairying
poultry, fruit and vegetable produc-
ton, field crops, forestry, bees and
other activities. Gross returns con-
stituted 81 PTS, ,248.46. Expenses were
$602 1926 .86, leaving profit Of $685.
922.60. In addition, members won
$10,57214 in prizes.
In homemaking projects, 1882
members conducted 30,221 projects
in food production and conserva-
ton, clothing, house furnishings
home and storage improvement
housekeeping, money management
and child care.
Community Activities.
Club members were also active
in community activities. They con.
tributed appreciably to salvage col.
lections Of paper and fats and oils
sale Of War Bonds and Stamps
donation drives for Red Cross ane
relief agencies, and work with sol.
diers in hospitals and USOs.

It Is interesting to note that o1
the 3,975 leaders, 1888 were former

engaged in passing on the benefits

work has also served as a feeder to

Contrary to the usual belief most
evergreens (conifers) need an an
nual pruning to keep them compact
and In good growth. Some folks
seem to think that once an ever
green has been planted 1t may be
left undisturbed indefinitely. This
may be true OF some of the dwarfer
types under certain conditions, but
1t certainly does not apply to the
usual foundation planting which all
too frequently is composed Of the
taller-growing evergreens.
Unpruned evergreens soon develop
q looseness Of branch that detracts
from their appearance. The second
purpose OF pruning, then, is to keep
evergreens compact and vigorous.
This Is particularly true in founda-
ton paintings where the tops so
often get out of balance with the
root system. The growth is thin,
confined mostly to the tips of the
branches, giving an impression of
straggliness rather than of strong
healthy growth.
AL conifers, with the exception
OF the spruce and fir, which may be
pruned only to a limited extent
benefit from pruning. The arbor-
vitaes, retinispora and jumpers need
considerable pruning to keep them
compact and well-leaved. The hem
lock and the yew withstand almost
any amount Of cutting.
Prune in Fall or Spring.
In this area we may prune ir
September or early March, just be.
fore the new growth starts. Oul
long fall season permits the cuts
to callus over and thus the shrub:
do not suffer from loss of moisture
as they would further north. where
spring pruning is the rule.
The pruning Of evergreens, lik'
that Of any other shrub or tree

pruning shears or knife. In mos
cases the cuts should be made at {
fork or side branch. This apple
