used TO get 7 or 8 barrels of corn TO
the acre. Now the same fields aver
age IA barrels. In 1914, the last year
oats were grown on the farm, yields
had increased to so bushels per acre.
Capt. White points TO one beautiful
field, free from erosion and covered
with fine pasture grasses. That
field" he says, used to be the worst
washed thing I ever saw. 1t had
gullies 2 feet deep"
Cows Know Difference.
During the heavy storms OF last
summer, Enterprise WAS one Of the
few farms where severe erosion did
not take place.
Pasture management is the back
bone of a conservation program on
almost any dairy farm. The use of
lime and fertilizer, rotation grazing
and weed moving are steps which
transform grassland When you
mention rotation grazing to Capt.
White or to Stanley Wallich. the
farm manager. here's what they say:
"Of course we approve of our cattle
grazing HfSt on one pasture, tnen
on another. But, what's more i'm
portant, the cows approve of it"
Twice day the cows pass through
the same pasture near the dairy
barn. But they never stop to Craze
there, except in early spring, when
the grass is fresh. Generally, they
wait till they get TO one OF the
rotated pastures before they begin
to Craze.
At Enterprise the owner likes the
farms soil conservation program;
the farm manager likes it; and the
livestock like 1t. Other Maryland
f6xmers agree. Six Thousand of
them in Maryland's ~ soil conserva-
ton districts already are following
soil conservation plans towards pro-
ductive farming wear after wear.

ity of his farm.
The former Navy officer now ships
to the Washington milk market
each day total of 1876 gallons OF
milk that tests 43 per cent butter
fat. This milk comes from 36 Hol-
stein and Guernsey cows that Craze
on well-managed pastures and eat
feed that comes from croplands
made highly productive by conser-
vation measures.
Named Farm for Carrier.
His farm, according to Capt
White, is different from the run
down place 1t was when he bought
it in 1887 and named it Enterprise
after the famous aircraft carrier
The captain was the first skipper
Of the Enterprise, which Is to be
berthed at Washington Navy Yard
as the history ship of World War
II.
When Capt. White, who graduated
from Annapolis in 1907, retired from
the Navy and from command Of the
Enterprise, he thought ''he had been
put out TO permanent pasture" or
the farm. But his retirement die
not last long. BY 194l he was back
in the Navy, where he served four
years more.
Shortly after he rejoined the Navy
Capt. White attended hearing tx
discuss the organization Of soil
conservation district in Prince
Georges County. He learned about
the advantages of conservation
farming and how soil-conserystior
districts make 1t easier for farmer:
to get soil-building and yield-b boost
ing measures on their land. The
Prince Georges oil-conservatior
district was organized in the fal
OF 1941.
Followed District Plan.

Gardening Tips
For This " eek

1t is not too early TO prepare for
the planting of turnips, kale and
mustard. These fall crops should
be sown before the middle Of August,
Broccoli plants should be set out
as soon as ready-before the middle
of August.
It has long beef the custom to
harvest vegetable crops in the early
morning or late evening. Now We
are told that the vitamin content
of the tomato is at its peak about
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
When the foliage on the amaryllls
dies down, store the pots on the
side In a dark corner of the base
ment. Do not add water except In
very small quantities when the soil
becomes powder dry.
japanese beetles are attracted tC
over-ripe or spoiled fruit. 1t is i'm
portant that such fruit be gathered
and disposed of frequently.
Day lilies (HemerocalliS, have
been producing an unusually fine
display this year in Washington
area gardens However. for a long
season display care should be given
to the choice OF varieties. Visit dis
play gardens at intervals of two
weeks throughout the season when
choosing varieties.
Onions should be dug and dried
promptly, once the foliage has
fallen. If left in the ground, rot will
set in and the bulbs lost.
Tomatoes are being affected BY
the potato blight. newcomer tc
this area. The leaves curl. turn
dark and die. Bordeaux is the
standard control for tomato dis
eases, although the new fungicide
dithane, is much more effective In
