Home Demonstration Council Host To
County Board AT l4ih Annual Dinner

The l4th annual farm and home
dinner given by the county
Home Demonstration Council IN

ors was held Tuesday at Lincoln

and guests present.
Mrs. j. c. Harris OF Vancleave.
president of the Council, presid-
ed at the meeting and introduce
ed the various speakers as well
as past presidents of the Coun-
ell and members who had been
active in club work for Is years
or longer.
Mrs. Edgar Baria delivered the
welcome address and told OF the
Councils appreciation of the long
years of support given them by
the Board of Supervisors, and
other public officials. K. w.
Burnham, president of the Board,
Tile Jul
Mr.. Burnham told Of his %
wears as a member of the board
and asserted that this meeting
was his swan song" inasmuch
as he would not be a candidate
for reelection. Following his
, brief address Mrs. Harris on be-
half of the Council extended MIR.
Burnham a lifetime invitation to
attend.
Mrs. Harris then introduced the
speaker, Miss Elaine Massey. dis
trict home agent of the State EX-
tension Service.
Need of Training
Miss Massey's talk dealt with
the vital necessity of training
for youth in order to make for
a full and complete adult life.
Adult years. she said, reflect the
training of our youth.
The intellectual lives of adults
too frequently fail to grow and
keep track with changing condi
lions, she continued, and laid
this to five causes: resistance to
change, lack of interest, failure
to understand, poor memory
and being poor listeners with
feeble concentration.
Mississippi is head of a long
range rural planning program
and better nutrition for both ru-
raj and urban families, she add
ed, and the church should also
take a larger part in the rural
life. Statistics show, she added,
that only 40 per cent of the ru-
raj youth belong to a church.
The meal of fried chicken,
mashed potatoes, carrots, string
beans, home made rolls and corn
sticks and huckleberry pie was
prepared by members of the
Council and served by children
of members, and members of the.
staff of the Home Demonstra-i
ton Agent.

$4,000 Sought to Relocate
Tobacco Experiment Station

Maryland agriculture leaders have
been aware of the need of State
owned tobacco experiment station.
We feel that more experimental
work should be done with type 80
tobacco, grown exclusively in the
five Southern Maryland counties"
1t was pointed out that production
costs in Maryland are greater than
in some other tobacco-producing
areas. Experiments will be planned
it was said, designed at lowering
these costs for Southern Maryland
farmers.
1t is expected that the new site
will include at least so acres of land
that is suitable for tobacco planting
Extension service officials said W. B
Posey, extension tobacco specialist,
probably will head the station.

Judicious Pruning Advised
Young Trees Require Light Cutting
If Cut Back at Planting Time
By n. F. VierhelIer
Morylond University Extension HortievItur

begin bearing fruit they will bend
over and stop the high growth.
AS the trees develop, the prun-
ing may have to be a little more
severe to remove undesirable wood,
strengthen the framework or correct
some difficulty.
In old trees, the pruning Is neces-
Sarily more severe than on younger
trees. Before beginning any pruning
job look over the tree and decide
what it needs. This will prevent
overpruning and may save a lot of
effort.
In cutting old trees that have
been unpruned for quite a while,
it may be better to plan on moder-
ate cutting and spread the correc-
tive pruning over two years. This
will avoid upsetting the trees nu-
tritional balance and causing the
formation of heavy growth of
water sprouts.
There are many rules in pruning,
but even these rules must be tenn
pered with personal decision and
common sense. 1t may be necessary
in some cases to remove a strong
branch and leave a weak one, be-
cause of its better location. The
rules for pruning different fruits
vary according to the bearing habits
of the trees.
Apples are. borne mostly on spurs
on older wood; peaches bear on one
year wood; cherries bear on older
wood, with fruit spurs forming
throughout the tree; and grapes bear
on the current years growth from
last years wood.
AS short summary, 1t can be
said that pruning is a dwarfing
process, but is necessary in shaping
tree or plant and in stimulating
production under certain circum-
stances.
A good pruner will have a reason
for making each cut. Don't look at
the prunings on the ground; look at
the tree, and prune it as Judgment
suggests. Better cut off too little
than too much.

Maryland Farmers
Receive Payments
For Soil Building

More than 21,000 Maryland
farmers are now receiving payments
for soil-building practices carried
out last year under the agricultural
conservation program, according to
Joseph H. Brandford, Maryland Pro-
duction and Marketing Administra-
ton director.
Mr.. Blandford said the payments
are being sent farmers in Allegheny,
Calvert, Charles, Garrett, Howard,
Prince Georges, st. Mary's, Somer-
set, Talbot and Wicomico Counties
Payments will be made in the
States remaining 13. counties as
soon as applications are submitted
by farmers and it is determined to
what extent funds are available.
Mr.. Blandford said 1t will take ap-
proximately s2,5O0,O00 to make full
payment to all farmers for carry
ing on the soil building program.
Handbooks Prepared.
Payments are made farmers for
practices designed to increase the
fertility of their fields. Such prac-
tees include the use OF lime, Ter
tilizer and green manure crops and
for the protection of land from
erosion by the use of cover crops.
Mr.. Blandford said handbooks
setting out the practices for which
payments will be made this year
have been completed by AAA COM
mittees in each of the States coun-
ties.
Feed Potatoes Available.
Maryland farmers, Mr.. Blandford
said, may now purchase surplus
white potatoes from the Govern
ment for livestock feed at one cent
per 100 pounds, plus freight charges
from storage centers to nearby areas
Those interested in buying po-
tatoes should contact the PIMA Of

Will Meet on Saturda.
Convention at Sandy Spring Affords
Forum for Rural Life Advancement
BY R. Bentley Thomos

was dropped and others much cur
tailed: the lunch was discontinued
on account of food conservation, but
the farmers felt the need for in
creased production could best be met
by continuation of group planning
and shared experiences.
The first president, Henry G.
Hallowell, was so satisfactory to the
membership that he was reelected
for II years. The present officers
are Leonard C. Burns. president,
and Robert H. Miller. jr., secretary.
In its long life the convention has
initiated many things for the benefit
of the farmer and rural life. Fore
most among these were better roaoH
1t was the membership of the clubs
who largely built the early turnpike
system of the county and the con-
vention was among the first to
advocate State and Federal made
and maintained roads. Rural de-
livery and parcels post were favor
ably discussed long before they wers
an actuality. The Enterprise Tel
ephone Co., a local concern, estab-
lished in the '90S and later taken
over by the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co., was child Of the
convention. The idea of a county
treasurer and more recently county
manager were first broached in these
annual meetings.
One of the most successful projects
of the convention was its efforts to
promote better marketing conditions
for farmers in Washington.
From almost the first meeting q
Marketing Committee was appointed
which was largely responsible for
the allotment of the old Hay Market
square, on which the Internal
Revenue Building now stands, for
the exclusive use of farmers, beside
many improvements in marketing
conditions in years past. The life
of this committee was extended from
year to year until the Farmers
Market was moved to its present
location in Northeast Washington;
when it was felt that the needs Of
the farmer in this direction had
been met.
The Farmers Convention of Sandy
Spring has an enviable reputation
for advanced agricultural informa-
ton. Visitors come from many parts
of Maryland and adjoining States.

Pruning Bush-Bramble Fruits
Control of Canes Vital With Berries;
Grapevine Culture Also Discussed
BY W. n. Younqmon

which is the reason for leaving the
young shoots to grow on the ground.
The deWberry is hardy and can be
tied up at anytime, desirable prac-
tice since they are too thorny to
work with.
Currants and GOOseberries.
Currants and gooseberries are not
commonly grown in this area be-
cause they are an intermediate"
host of the white pineblister rust.
However, there is no prohibition on
their culture in the District. They
are pruned somewhat the same as
rose bush. Weak and small tWiggy
bottom growth should be removed
and the older canes removed so as
to renew the bush every four or five
years. Thinning may be needed to
encourage larger fruits although the
normal renewal pruning should ac-
complish all that is necessary.
The thinning of the branches
not the canes-of the gooseberry is
often desirable to make harvesting
easier and more comfortable This
pruning is usually done in the spring
although the removal of the old
canes may be done after harvest.
The pruning of grapevines IS a
real early spring job. 1t should be
done before the sap starts to flow in
the spring. 1t is usually the first of
the spring pruning jobs for the ex-
perienced gardener.
Most amateurs hesitate to prune
heavily enough and soon have such
mass of canes that the health
and productiveness of the vine is
greatly impaired. Grapevines should
be pruned so as to leave two or three
"eyes" (buds) on each spur. The
spurs are the stubs made by short
ening the canes along the trunk or
main leaders.
Choose Grapevine Framework.
However, the first step in pruning
the grapevines should be the selec-
ton of the framework-the canes
which will be left to bear the new
crop. There are many systems of
grape pruning which have to do
with the arrangement and number
of main branches or framework.
The choice of the type for the in
dividual gardener to follow depends
upon the area to be covered and the
supports to be provided. Having
decided this point all side branches
on the framework are shortened to
two or three buds.
Old grape vines become badly
gnarled with stubs and wood arms
These should be replaced with new
trunks at intervals of four to six
years. This is easily accomplished
by selecting a new cane which can
be trained to the same area as that
occupied by the old woody arm.
The old cane is then removed and
the new one tied in its place It
will need to be shortened somewhat
but the limitation of two or three
buds does not apply.
Some grape growers limit the
number of buds per vine to 20 or
80 following the principal that each
bud will produce branch with two
punches. Theoretically this will re-
suit in 40 to 60 punches of grapes
per vine. However, the home gar
dener, with one or two vines, and
even though he bags his grapes,
will seek more, and smaller, punches
