Gardening Tips
For This Week

Planting of early-maturing vari-
cites of sweet corn may be con-
tinued until the last week in July
Golden Bantam requires IS days to
reach maturity, while Stowell's
Evergreen takes 100 days. Maturity
after the first of october is proble-
matica1.
Spent flowers of coreopsis, sweet
peas, pansies, zinnias, scabiosa, and
most of the other ANIMALS, and
such biennials as the peach bells
and canterbury bells should be re-
moved to keep the plants bloming
Most ANIMALS stop bloming when
allowed to ripen seed.
When pinching the tops of
chrysanthemums to encourage
branching save the tips for pro-
pagating. Put the leaves and plant
in moist soil. They root readily in
wet sand and peat moss, or even in
moist garden soil. This is a quick
way to multiply the plants. They
will bloom just as well as plants
set out in May.

Virginia Farmers
Warned on Drop in
Milk Production

A further decrease in the supply
Of milk for Virginia consumers was
predicted last week by r. G. Con-
nelly, Virginia Extension Service
dairy husbandman, unless farmers
taks steps to prevent further deple-
ton of dairy herds in the State
Mr.. Connolly said Virginia's dairy
cow population has fallen from
443, 900 in 1945 to 438, 200 so far in
1916. 1t Is still decreasing at
rapid rate, he added.
Unless this trend is halted, Mr..
Connolly said, there will be less milk
for civilian consumption, butter will
become more and more scarce and
cheese will develop an acute Short
age.
Production Under Average.
Mr.. Connolly said that Virginias
milk production record has been
below the national average and un-
less full use Is made of pastures and
silage during the grain shortage, it
will fall still lower.
In 1945, he said, the average Vir-
ginia COW produced 400 pounds of
milk, as compared with a national
average of 4.789pounds, Any COW,
he added, can produce $500 pounds
of milk with no grain at all, if
properly pastured.
Mr.. Connolly made these sugges-
tions:
Clip pastures to keep the plants
in growing condition. Remove trash,
weeds and rocks, if possible, to en-
large the grazing area. One method
of pasture management that has
proved satisfactory is to divide the
pasture into lots, at least four, and
Craze the most productive cattle
first. Follow with dry COWS and
heifers. Have a dry lot where the
cattle can be driven to chew their
cud after they have grazed for 2h
to hours. This will mean driving
the cattle twice day into the
pasture, but, says Mr. Connolly, it
will be worth it in grass saved.
More Silage Urged.
Make silage out of any crop ordi-
narily used for hay. such as legumes,
grasses and cereals. Corn may be
combined with soybeans, alfalfa
peas. clover or lespedeza at the rate
Of two loads of corn to one load of
any of the other crops. Cut crops
at any time before maturity, at any
time of day, and almost any kind
of weather. Preservatives are not
necessary if the crop is properly
Wilted so that it contains so to 50
per cent moisture.
Keep production records, showing
the contribution of each COW in the
herd, her level of production and
her feed consumption. Without
records no one can feed intelligent
ly,' Mr. Connolly said.

Experts Advise on Ways
To Avoid Lightning Toll
BY jones BirchfieId

While only about 400 persons are
killed each year by lightning, con-
siderable farm property is damaged,
and it may be worth noting a few
safety measures advised by safety
experts
Experts say almost any building
is safer during a storm than out
of-doors. However, If person
should be caught by q thunderstorm
in the fields. he should avoid taking
shelter under lone tree and should
keep away from fences. Lightning
tends to strike the highest point
in the vicinity, and this may be
barn. a house, tree or a man in
the field.
If person can't seek shelter in
a protected building, he may find
fairly good protection in a cave or
in a woodland. Again, never stand
under lone tree or a small grove of
trees.
Safety experts say the annual
$l0,000000 farm damage caused by
lightning can be lessened consider
ably by protecting buildings. Light
ming rods will protect buildings pro-
vided they are properly installed
and properly grounded Farmers
should also ground and band to-
gether metal tracks for carriers in
side barns and other metal objects
to prevent electrical flashes from one
object to another. These flashes
may be the means of starting a de-
structive fire. Metal roofs. properly
grounded and provided with air ter
minals to protect chimneys, will help
give protection.

dousing the ears in a bath of ice
water as soon as they are picked,
and then storing them at 40-degree
temperature until delivery to the
retail markets. Corn so treated. he
says, will retain its original flavor
