Race officials are confident
the starting field will surpass
the "a yachts in last years
race from Newport to Ber-
muda. They predict at least
40 yachts for the start off
Brenton's Reef Lightship.
For many years, ocean races
on the Atlantic have been held
in June because this month
offers the least danger from
gales or hurricanes and be-
cause it affords the maximum
of daylight.
But that doesn't mean ocean
racing in June is as simple as
sailing the Potomac River
Evening star., 1947-06-08

Racing men never count on the
weather remaining serene or
the wind fair. It Just doesn't
work out that way.
And even II they carry a fair
wind down the coast, when
the yachts round Chesapeake
Lghtship. they may face a
long, slow beat up the bay to
the finish. Bay sailors don't
talk much about it, but racing
the Chesapeake has its draw
backs. Things like light winds,
strong tides at times and
least attractive of all-count-
less fishnet stakes Just off the
main channel.

HCEAN RACING in small

OCEAN RACING in small
~ boats Is a pastime re-
served for men with tough
stomachs, strong backs and
patience.
When it's combined with a
race over two-thirds of CheSa-
peake Bay. then the event be-
gins to shape up for all the
world like a marine steeple-
chase.
Such q race will get under
way June 81 of Newport. r. l.,
and conclude some time the
following week OF the mouth
of the Severn River, near An
napolis, Md.
Evening star., 1947-06-08

It Is listed in the race cir
cular as the Newport-Annap-
oils Race under the auspices
of the New York Yacht Club
and in cooperation with the
Naval Academy Yacht Squad
ron, the Annapolis Yacht Club
and the Chesapeake Bay
Yacht Racing Association.
The 466-mile race will bring
to the bay for the first time in
eight years Americas best
racing talent and, without
doubt, the smartest sailing
yachts ever gathered in his
toric Annapolis Harbor. They
will range from IS to 100 feet.
Evening star., 1947-06-08

All this adds up to the fact
that no Handicapped will bet
on the time it will take the
fleet to cover the course. May
be it will be less than 80 hours,
which would be fast time, or
maybe it will draw out to 120
hours.
But fast or slow, shippers
and crews wouldn't give it up,
this side of another war. They
keep coming back for more,
and you can be certain of see
ing the same yachts and faces
two years from now, when the
feet returns to the Chesa-
peake.

Wood Tick Control
Possible With DDT
On Shrubs, Paths

The danger to gardeners from the
wood tick, carrier of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever, may be lessened con-
siderably by the use Of DDT. accord
ing to the Agriculture Department
Bureau Of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine.
Ticks are making their appearance
now and will continue active until
early fall. A number of deaths have
been reported each year.
For control in small garden areas,
the bureau recommends busting a
10 per cent DDT powder over grass,
weeds and shrubs at the rate of
from 2 to pounds to the acre. For
back yards, vacant lots and child
recreation areas l ounce to 1000
square feet is recommended.
Bureau studies made last year
indicate the ticks usually move from
overgrown areas to paths or roads,
probably Attracted by the scent of
dogs and other animals. Hence,
paths throughout the grounds, and
roads along the property should be
busted. This will kill the ticks where
they have concentrated and also will
kill ticks coming into this area for
some time after the treatment.
In addition to the busting, the
bureau said, daily body inspections
for ticks should be regular house.
hold routine. A tick does not usually
transmit the disease until after it
has been attached for more than
five hours. The ticks should be re-
moved from the body with tweezers,
never with the fingers. the bureau
warned.

Sprays are hest applied ii the morn
ing but after the dew has dried.
The cost Of equipment is another
factor.
On the other hand. good duster
will enable q man or woman TO ap-5
ply q coat Of dust to his or her
garden Ia few moments, usually
in less time than 1t takes to mix 4
batch of spray. This Is an I'M
|portant point for the small gardener
who Is interested III keeping his
garden reasonably well protected
from insects and diseases. Because
Lit does take less time, and the duster
can be kept loaded at al times
ready to use, it Is quite likely that
the garden will be busted much more
frequently than It win be sprayed.
Hence we are inclined to favor the
duster for the small garden.
Actually the most important point
Of all is to keep the foliage covered
with q protective coating Of In
secticide and fllngicide. It must
be there when the bug takes bite
or the spore falls. otherwise it does
no good. After the bug has eaten
his fill or the disease spore has
grown into the plant tissue, the
spray or dust is ofsno value.
To summarize: The gardener may
now use one dust or spray for the
vegetable garden, and If applied
regularly from early May to fall he
will keep most of the bugs and
diseases pretty well under control.
Another dust, one containing DDT,
should be used on the ornamentals,
including roses, which will give
fairly good protection from the Jap
beetles as well as many other in
sects and plant diseases. However,
both should be used regularly so as
to keep protective coating on the
foliage at all times. Start early in
the spring as the first broods arrive
and it will mean far fewer to COM
bat later on. Surely this is as simple
program as the home gardener can
Ihope for, and it's reasonably effec-
tive, too.

Gardening Tasks:

Put house plants out OF doors
for the summer, pots rim deep
in soil to keep them moist.
Some gardeners repot before
putting plants in the garden.
After repotting, the plants
should be shaded for a few days.
Pansy flowers should be
picked regularly to prevent seed
formation. When seeds form,
the plants stop growing.
To conserve space tomatoes
should be pruned and staked.
This aids in cultivation and
dusting, produces better al
though fewer fruits.
CannaS and other tender
towering bulbs and roots may
be planted out Of doors until
the first Of July, but early
planting is desirable. Give them
q rich soil with plenty Of mois-
ture for best results.

Historic Farm
IsBroughtB Back
ToProduction
By james Birehfield

A 200-year r-old Charles County
(Md.) farm is being brought back
into production by q man who Is
now practicing what he once
preached as editor Of Country Life
magazine.
Habre de Venture, tract inciud-
ing nearly 400 acres, lies near Port
Tobacco, Charles County. Origt-I
nally it was the home Of Thomas
Stone, one OF the signers Of the
Declaration Of independence, who
lies buried In the family grave yard
near the manor house.
In past years Habre de Venture
has lost much Of Its former fertility.
and scrub pine has overgrown many
Of the fields that once grew to-
bacco and other farm crops.
Big Change In Two Years.
Until two years ago. when Peter
vischer. bought the farm, Habre de
Venture was the picture Of decayed
agricultural grandure. Under Mr..
Vischer's direction, however, the
picture Is changing. Pastures are
emerging from pine forests and
fields are being made ready once
more for cultivation.
Mr.. Vischer was editor Of Coun-
try Life magazine until that publ
cation suspended during the war.
He served in the Army as q ieuten-I
ant colonel, and remained In Wash
ington after his release from the
service year ago. He plans to
continue here as a farmer.
Mr.. Vischer said that one field,
now being cleared of 20-foot pines,
still shows the marks Of corn rows.
The last time this field was culti-
waited, he said, was at least 20 years
ago.
Diversification Planned.
As Habre de Venture is brought
back into production, Mr.. Vischer
plans a diversified farming program
that will include the cultivation OF
tobacco, general farm crops and
livestock.
Mr.. vischer already has made
start with his livestock. He has the
nucleus of a herd of Minnesota
No. hogs, among the first of this
new breed to be brought into this
section, and the beginnings of a
herd of purebred polled Shorthorn
cattle. In addition, he will raise
purebred Belgian draft horses.
The Minnesota No. hog was de-
veloped several years ago at the
University of Minnesota from a
foundation stock of Tamworth and
the Danish Landrace hogs. The
breed carries the long, bacon and
ham-producing characteristics Of
the Landrace, plus the Tamworth's
adaptability to American farm con-
ditions. Many swine experts be-
lieve that the Minnesota No. Twill
answer a growing demand in this
country for leaner cuts of pork OF
high quality.
In raising polled Shorthorns, Mr..
Vischer believes the time is coming
when stock farmers will do away
with horned cattle. Cattle with
horns" he said, usually are

Soviet Excludes
Sea|er

OSLO - The Norwegian sealing
fleet which for several weeks has
been standing by in west-Nor-
wegian ports awaiting final per-
mission from Moscow to hunt
seals in the White Sea will not
be permitted to enter the area this
year, it was revealed in Oslo re-
Gently. Permission has been denied
on the grounds that the waters
are not yet mine-free and the
Soviet refusal has come as a COM
plete shock to the IA Norwegian
crews which have been awaiting
the usual Letter of Safe Conduct
as mere formality.
Under a 1925 agreement still
valid Norwegian sealing expedi-
lions have operated in these dis
tricts each year except during the
war. Last years letter was with
held because of the danger of
mines but Soviet authorities
promised that these areas would
be swept in time for the coming
season. Now, however, the same
explanation is given and accord
ing to Martin Karlsen of Aalesund,
leader of the Norwegian group,
the refusal was completely unex-
pected and all but uneXplanable.
even though tnere We're
Mines" protested Karlsen, that's
a risk we'd have to take. There
is danger of mines along the Nor
wegian coast today, but that
doesn't keep thousands of boats
and fishermen from operating
there" Karlsen personally thinks
there is no danger of mines in
the white Sea now. The ice is
frozen to the bottom in most of
the sealing areas.

Sweden's National
Debt Down In '46

STOCKHOLM. - Sweden's ma
tional debt decreased slightly from
IL ,55O,OO0,00O to 1884, 100000
kronor during the year 1916. The
funded debt rose by 100000 to
1886, 100000 kronor ($2,593,OOO,-
OOO) while the floating debt went
down by 1,O43,OO0,0OO to 2,O4S,-
100000 kronor 1859, 0OO,OOO). On
December 81 about 1859, 100000
kronor consisted Of bond loans, an
increase of 676,OOO,0OO kronor as
compared with 1915.
That the national debt still re-
mains on about the same high
level as during the last years of
the war is chiefly due to Sweden's
credit granting activities. Of the
present national debt less than
p per cent is placed abroad, and
this consists of old loans. Total
interest expenditures in connec-
ton with the national debt de-
creased during the last budget
year by 100000 kronor to 27O.-
100000 kronor (S75,0OO,0OO) while
the effective average interest rate
decreased from 2.S6 per cent to
2.71 per cent.

SWedishMinister
Denies Cuts Due
Western Exports

Gunnar Myrdal Sweden's Minis
ter of Commerce, believes that
Swedish exports to Russia can be
increased without any cut in eX-
ports to Britain and the United
States.
There is nothing special about
Sweden's trade agreement with
Russia that would prevent main
tanning the current volume of
trade with the other two coun-
tries, he said.
1t is possible that Swedish in
dustry may be unable to fulfill
the specified program of deliv-
cries of goods to the Soviet
Union, Mr.. Myrdal said in an in
terview, but he expressed con-
fidence that difficulties would be
overcome and that the full quotas
of Swedish manufactures would
reach Russia.
There are difficulties in full
filling all trade agreements, he
explained.
1--WE export principally timber
and wood products to Britain" he
said, land we export different
things to America than we plan
to send to Russia. There is no
reason to suppose that our ex-
ports to Russia should cause us
to cut down on our exports to
these other two Countries
The Minister disclosed that
quotas to Russia during the next
year would be just 2 per cent of
Sweden's total export. These
would be increased to 10 per cent
the following year and Is per
cent the next. Deliveries will be
small in the first year and in
crease later, particularly in the
third year.
Mr.. Myrdal said discussions be-
tween Soviet and Swedish bust
nessmen were progressing salts
factorily, so far as I have been
informed"
He denied an assertion made in
one Swedish newspaper that
pressure was being applied by
Sweden's Social-Democratic Gov
