which is a part of Palestine, was
reserved as a military outpost,
Altho it has only 100000 inhabi-
tants, it is being presented by
Great Britain as a distinct ma
ton, headed by ruler and seek
ing recognition as complete and
separate entity.
Palestine, with many more peo-
pie is proposed by Britain for dl-
vision into parts, one for the
Arabs, one portion for the Jews
and the third for the British.
ZOA rejects this plan, since no
definite statement has been made
by the British regarding method
for physical division, that is what
part and how much shall be al
loted to each.
ZOA is unwilling to present a
plan of division of the country
convinced that this will only re-
suit in the Jews being offered a
much smaller portion than will
meet their needs and which is
their just due as defined by the
Balfour Declaration.
The Zionist motto that "Zion-
ism aims to create a publicly Sc
cured, legally assured home for
the Jewish people in Palestine"
was reaffirmed as the broad basis
for establishing the Basel pro-
gram. It is the aim for which
all Zionists are strivin 6 to
achieve.
Mr.. Harry Stone, Phoenix ZOA
president, made reference to DR.
Reichert's report. 1t is his opinion
that alert and aggressive Zionist
groups can solve the problems IN
satisfactory way. Thru diligent
efforts and perseverance the flu
ture should be brighter.

Agricultural Agencies Designing
Farm Structures for Animal Comfor-

these should provide the basis for
designing buildings that will better
meet the needs OF farmers. They
should eventually bring about re-
ductions in the cost of farming"
At the same time the animal
comfort tests are conducted, agri-
cultural engineers will consider
changes in farm building design to
promote labor saving and working
comfort on the farm.
Some designers already predict
that the large dairy barn, with Sec
ond story hay NOV, will be thing
of the past in few years. New
methods of hay curing, such as the
electric hay dryer, will make one
story barns more desirable, they
say. Special hay mows will be pro.
vided at ground level
Designers also predict that farm
buildings will be gathered" under
one roof in the future. This. they
point out, will result in saving in
construction costs, more efficiency
in operation and less work for the
farmer and his helpers.
Already industry is becoming con-
scious of the farm building boom
that is expected to continue for at
least 10 years. Glass lined silos are
being developed, which. industrial
representatives say, is Just one ex-
ample Of what The farmer Of the
future can expect.

ready for use and equally as safe
as new pots.
When repotting, 1t is desirable to
use the next larger sized pot. How
ever. there are few partial excep-
tions. Strong growing plants, such
as the fig, palm, aspidistra and sans
vieria, etc, should be kept in the
smallest possible container, other
wise they may attain too great a
size.
Occasionally supplemental feeding
will be needed. This may be sup
piled in a prepared tablet form. al
though many successful gardeners
prefer to prepare liquid solution.
A tablespoonful of good complete
fertilizer to one quart of water is
the recommended proportion. A
small amount of this to pot q
tablespoonfuls to a 3-inch pot, a
cupful to a 6 or 8 inch pot may be
applied at three or four week inter-
walls. The soil should be moist be-
fore applying; otherwise the thirsty
plant roots will drink too greedily
and may suffer injury.
Plants that are too large or
straggly should be cut back at re-
potting time. This will stimulate
branching and should soon produce
compact, attractive plants for the
indoor garden.
Dwarf marigolds and chrysanthe-
NUNS are sometimes lifted. They
should be bushy specimens and the
roots should be disturbed as little as
possible at this late season.

Grain Growers Lose
Million by Failing
To Treat Seed

Virginia growers Of wheat, oats
and barley suffered a million dollar
loss in 1946 grain yields because of
smuts, blights and foot rots which
could have been largely prevented
by treating seed with the new, i'm
proved Ceresan, S. B. Femme, State
extension plant pathologist, reported
last week.
Basing his figures on information
supplied by the Virginia Crop Re-
porting Service, Mr.. Femme said
that losses as large as 5 per cent
were experienced by farmers who
harvested 100000 bushels of grain
crops this year.
Mr.. Femme said that without ex-
ception, all seed should be dust
treated at least "a hours before SOW
ing, and may be treated as far in
advance as 30 to so days Seed
cleaning is advised so tn weed
seed, light grain and debr. can be
removed before treating.
Treatment of seed with new i'm
proved Ceresan will largely prevent
sinking smut of wheat, loose and
covered smut Of oats and seed
borne stripe disease, and covered
and black loose smuts of barley,
Mr.. Femme said He added that II
will not control loose smut of wheat
and brown smut of barley.
Instructions for use of the Mime
sota-type mixer are: Add one-hali
ounce of Ceresan dust to each bushel
Of seed. Dump the grain into the
treater and catch the treated grain
in a bag as it comes out.
In using revolving mixer, the
seed and dust are added to the mix
er in the same proportion. The
barrel or mixer is turned for about
40 revolutions after which the
treated grain is removed and
bagged.
Mr.. Femme warned that when large
quantities of seed are to be treated
the work should be done out o1
doors if dust masks are not worn
Treated seed is poisonous anc
should be kept out of the reach OF
animals.

OberafiOnal Notes
At Nearby Farms

Proof that contour cropping is
profitable was shown recently on
Mrs. Thompson Sewers Federal Hill
Farm near Stone Bridge, according
to Clarke County Agent ]. w. Oh
colt.
Mr.. Olcott reported that last year
Mrs. Sewers signed with the Lord
Fairfax Soil Conservation District,
and a plan was drawn for planting
corn in alternate contour strips. Part
OF this program was by-passed, how
ever, with the result that a good
portion Of the topsoil from the corn
land was washed into the State
highway at the lower end of the
field.
This year the corn was planted
in strips alternating with grass, and
the gulleys started last year already
are beginning to fill. This field, Mr..
Olcott said, is rapidly being built
back to normal.
j. A. Coffey, Culpeper County
agent, reported last week that the
artificial breeding program is ex-
pected to begin operation in the
county this fall. Mr.. Coffey said
one bull has been selected from
Beltsvllle, and a number of others
nave been tentatively selected.
Two new agricultural bulletins
are available for Virginia farmers
at the offices of county agents. One
bulletin on Alfalfa Production in
Virginia" describes the steps neces-
sary in the preparation of the soil
and seeding the first crop. The sec
ond, heterogeneous Fertilizers in the
Production of Virginia Field Crops
deals with the effect of nitrogen
on crops grown in the State. The
bulletins have been compiled from
reports of work carried on at State
experimental farms.

Gardening Tips
For This Week

Roses, shrubs and trees should be
ordered now for early November de-
livery. Evergreens should be ordered
and planted as soon as possible
Early September is desirable since
they should become we'll established
before cold weather stops their
growth. The deciduous trees and
shrubs are not dormant until late
in October and there Is no point
in rushing them into the ground.
Unless crimson clover is planted
this week it is better to use the
rye and vetch mixture for a winter
green manure crop. Annual rye
grass is also useful cover crop
that may be sown in October, but
it will not furnish nitrogen that the
clover and vetch will.
An application of complete fer
tilizer to the strawberry bed will
do much to insure strong, vigorous
growth next spring Three to four
pounds per 100 square feet of bed is
the recommended application. Brush
the fertilizer of the leaves of the
plants after applying to avoid un-
necessary burning of the foliage.

Spreads Provide
Choice in Making
School Sandwiches
By Jonet |. Comeron

Virginia Extension Service Nutritionist.
In spite of the increasing number
of improved school lunchrooms
throughout rural America, thous-
ands of farm boys and girls still
carry a packed lunch to school
where it is supplemented with milk
or soup.
Since lunches provide a major
portion of the diet during the nine
month school term, it is important
that they contain as much good
nutritious food as the child will eat
One of the easiest lunches to
carry consists of sandwiches. Some
thought should be given to making
these tasty and satisfying. They
should be well-wrapped to insure
freshness.
A weeks supply of sandwich
spreads may be made up at one time,
a procedure that will allow each
child to make his own sandwiches
each day. This saves time for the
parent and at the same time per-

preparing the food that he will
eat.
Deciding what to put between
pieces of bread is a perplexing task
for the busy housewife. so these
suggestions may help in solving this
problem:
Meat-Use any cooked leftover
meat, chop or grind it, and mix
with butter or salad dressing. Sea-
son and put in a jar; keep cool
and covered.
Cheese-Grate or grind cheese.
soften with salad dressing, milk or
cream, and season well. Keep in a
jar, if it is cold and covered.
Peanut Butter-Mix up the TOP
with the bottom to keep it all
moist. If it gets dry, add salad
dressing to soften. This is good
combined with raisins, nuts, Jam.
jelly or preserves.
Dried Fruit-Grind in food
chopper any dried fruits you have
prunes, apples. peaches. dates-and
soften with butter or salad dressing.
All of these spreads will keep for
a week If they are cold. A vegetable
spread, made fresh every day with
shredded carrots, cabbage, toma toes
or lettuce, is recommended.

conditioned houses are being
provided for dairy cows, poultry and
hogs at the Agriculture Research
Center at Beltsville and at two other
research centers in the Nation to
provide information helpful to
scientists in designing the farm
buildings of the future.
Through these experiments, to
last for a 10-year period or longer
scientists will attempt to discover
Just how much it Is costing the av-
erage American farmer by not pro-
viding comfortable living quarters
for his stock.
The conditioned units, called
by scientists animal psychoenergetic
laboratories, will enable observers to
maintain rigid control of tempera-
ture and humidity during the test
periods. The production and physio-
logical reaction Of the test animals
will be closely watched in an effort
to determine just what constitutes
comfort for a farm animal, and
how it effects production.
The Beltsville tests, to begin soon.
will deal with poultry. Air-condi-
toned facilities for dairy cattle are
under construction at the Univer-
sity Of Missouri, and the swine tests
will be conducted at the University
of California. BY separating the
tests, scientists say, animal reac-
tions in various parts of the coun-
try can be checked.
Reason for the tests. according
to scientists. is to relate farm build
ing design to efficiency of livestock
production. Agricultural engineers
urged by industry to help with the
design of modern farm structures,
found there were few facts at hand
with which to work.
Farm buildings in the past have
largely been built by rule-of-
thumb, and in most cases designs
follow those of buildings that were
constructed by the American
pioneers.
DR.. w. V. Lambert, assistant re-
search administrator of the Agri-
culture Department, stated the
problem like this:
"At present there Is little definite
scientific knowledge of animal needs
in housing. For example, over SOC
designs for poultry houses are avail
able to farmers, but no one knows
which are good and which made
quate, or why.
with dairy cattle the situation
is similar. For instance, what is q

Gardening in the Capital Area
Reporting the House Plants Is Job
For September; Tips on Soil, Feeding
By W. H. Younomon
By W. H. Younqmon

Two major factors in the salts
factory performance of house plants
are the proper repotting and to
have them in vigorous growth when
brought indoors. This chore should
be carried out early enough in the
fall so the plants will recover from
the shock of transplanting, II any,
and will become well established in
fresh, fertile soil.
Formerly in repotting the indoor
gardener gathered together some
Well-enriched soil from the garden,
bit of well-rotted manure and
some sand, mixed the three and
filled the pots. 1t is not quite this
simple today for most indoor
gardeners. Rich garden loan is
practically nonexistent in this area
and the well-rotted manure is diff
f1cult to obtain and of dubious value
at best Many, in desperation, turn
to local florists and buy potting soil
mixtures.
For those who wish to take the
time and trouble, the preparation
of soil for potting is an interesting
and worthwhile job. Some author
tiles still recommend the cutting,
piling and composing Of sod, man.
ure, loan and sand "a common
practice among florists of Is years
ago. To all appearances this was
an effective and satisfactory method.
Today We know the results are ex-
tremely variable; that the product
lacks uniformity, Current research
has proved this point very clearly
and that most useful potting soil
can be prepared without such long
process.
Make Your Own Formula.
A mixture (by volume) which
fills the needs of many plants can
be made as follows Seven parts
loan, 3 parts of peat moss (granu-
lated and 2 parts of coarse sand.
To supply the needed plant food
add to one bushel of this material, a
half pound of the following mixture
by weight: Two parts tankage, 2
parts superphosphate and / part OF
sulphate OF potash. Three-quarters
of an ounce Of ground limestone
should then be added and the whole
thoroughly mixed and sieved. This
preparation of the fertilizer to be
added TO the soil mixture sounds a
bit complicated. However, for q
gardener who uses considerable soil
for potting, it should be compare
lively easy to prepare it in quantity
and measure out the amount needed
for each bushel of soil when mixing
for potting. Some day the fertilizer
manufacturers may make available
a desirable mixture for this purpose.
Take clean pot a size larger
than the one in which the plant is
now growing. Cover the drainage
hole with broken pots, coarse gravel
or cinders.
With the plant we'll settled,
Watered and ready to start growth,
the next step is to shade it for a
few days, perhaps as much as
week This is necessary until the
plant sends new roots into the fer
tile soil.
Watering will be necessary once
or twice a week. depending on the
atmosphere. Avoid overwatering;
the peat moss in the soil mixture
acts as reservoir, holding as much
as II times its own weight.
Old pots are looked upon as being
risky-the clay retains diseases and
algae. This can be overcome by the
simple expedient of placing them in
the furnace for a short time. After
cooling, soak in water and they are
