during the period when the garden
is closed. On the other hand, the
gardener will wish to have bloom
during the fall months and plans
should be. made to include the fall
flowers, such as dahlias. chrysan-
themums, hardy asters, the jap
anese anemone, etc. Even gladiolus
corms can be planted in June for
September and October bloom. Most
of these will need to be placed and
given a good start in the early
spring. Summer care, however,
must be arranged for, since we can
hardly expect a good performance
from them if neglected for two or
three months during the heat of
the summer.
The same is also true of the vege-
table garden, although there is not
much except radishes and lettuce
that will mature before the first of
July. The fall garden, however,
can be quite productive. Crops
can be planted for harvest in Sep
tember, October and November. We
may plant tomatoes late so that
they will be in full fruit at the time
the vacationer returns. There may
also be beans, sweetcorn, cucumbers
and other crops as well as the
usual late fall crops. The choice
should be governed by those things
which the family enjoys.
Beetles Are Serious Menace.
Both the vegetable garden and
the flower garden will need to be
planted and given certain amount
of care during the summer If the
fall garden is to be a. success. Per-
haps the man who takes care OF
the lawn can look after the flowers
and the vegetable garden. Ger
tainly in these days of the japanese
beetles we must arrange for some
work in the garden. The beetles
like so many of our flowers and
shrubs that if we fail to protect
them during, the summer months
we are not likely to find much
when we return. .s......... ...-
| IF we plan ahead and make the
proper arrangements our gardens
need not suffer while we enjoy
well-earned rest at some vacation
ispot. Whether the vacation is Ions
Ior short we can, by careful plan
ming, have both flowers and vege'
tables ready when we return. Tht
short-period vacationer can take
care of most of the important steps
and need only make arrangements
with some neighbor to harvest the
ripening vegetables and cut the
flowers while he is away. The sum-
mer-long vacationer, however, will
need to arrange for periodic atten-
ton. Either type of vacation, thus
need not mean the loss of the
pleasures and benefits of garden.

New Method
Gives Higher
Tobacco Yield
By Jomes Birchfield

A new method of growing tobacco,
developed by Soil Conservation
Service technicians during a Ave-
year research program, is being
given its first ION the land" test on
a Prince Georges County tobacco
farm.
The new method is the outgrowth
of attempts by soil conservation
technicians to find ways Of pre-
venting erosion from cross washing
in tobacco fields. In addition to
stopping erosion, technicians said,
the new method has resulted in in
creasing per-acre averages by about
$100.
The new method, referred to by
technicians as ridge row cultivation,
consists of setting the tobacco
plants on the top of ridges that have
been thrown up in contours across
the field by tractor plows.
These ridges, technicians explain
EIDE prevent cross washing during
heavy rains. At the same time, they
said, higher yields of better quality
tobacco are made possible because
of better aeration, better moisture
conservation, and better utilization
of fertilizers.
Field Is Terraced.
The field tests are being made on
the Harry w. Townshend farm
near Mitchellville. The field used
is one that has been terraced to
prevent erosion, and the tobacco
ridge rows are laid off in contours
across the upper section of the field.
In addition to the terraces, grass
drainage areas have been provided
to slow down the erosion Of top soil.
The field work is under the direc-
ton of Clarence S. Britt, Soil Con-
servation Service project supervisor,
who did much of the experimental
work at the Beltsville research
center.
Our problem now Is to fit our
research to the farm" Mr.. Britt ex-
planned. This includes adapting
machinery that the farmer has to
the special method Of cropping"
With the assistance of Mr.. Town
shend, who is a pretty good farm
mechanic, Mr.. Britt has rigged up
tractor that will make the ridge
rows. They also have fashioned,
largely in the farm shop, an auto
matte planter that will set the plants
on the ridges, setting two rows at
time. This planter drills the hole,
puts in water and sets the plant in
one operation.
Poseys Given Credit.
Credit for the original research
program goes to G. B. Posey. assist
ant chief of the erosion control Sec
ton of the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice, and to Walter Posey, tobacco
specialist at the University of Mary
land, who co-operated in the ex-
periments.
The first tests were made last year
on Mr.. Townshend's farm and re-
suited in "the best tobacco crop ]
have ever grown"
Furthermore, Mr.. Townshend said
3 inches of rain that fell during a
48-hour period failed to cause any
washing of his fields.
"You can't beat that in a field
that was known for its big gulleys, y
Mr.. ToWnshend said.

Farmers Profits
Make Land Too
Valuable to Sell
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, June 2s.-Farmers
are making so 1puch money they
can't afford to sell their land, even
at double the 1889 price.
In Illinois many farmers are re-
porting a gross income of $50 an
acre of land they have sublet to
tenants, and some as high as $75.
at simply isn't profitable for
farmers to sell under present con-
ditions," Glenn E. Rogers, manager
of Metropolitan Life Insurance CO.'S
farm loan division, said. Three
dollars for soyheans, $3.50 for wheat.
So for corn, "a cents for hogs and
"a cents for beef seems to furnish
a simple reason for present high
land prices"
In the South leading farm land
appraiser reported:
'EThis week one of our borrowers
came into the office and made q
payment on his loan. Last July he
purchased some lightweight COM
mon cattle for IL cents. He carried
them through the summer, fall, and
early winter on pasture and stalks,
and fed them about 80 days, and
sent them to market and received
24.5 cents per pound, doubling the
price paid for them, as well as the
weight.
Another farmer had a litter OF
II Chester White pigs and was
about to wean them. A neighbor
chanced to see this litter and took
a fancy to them and paid $132, or
s12 a head for, the litter. With
such prices as the farmers are re-
ceiving for their products, it's no
wonder they are paying OF their
mortgages"
Sale Obviates Loan.
From Nebraska another appraiser
reported: I'VE had one case where
a farmer applied for loan of $14,-
600, which was accepted, and just
a few days before closing he shipped
a large number of hogs and cattle
to provide the balance OF the funds
necessary to complete his purchase.
This shipment actually brought $14,-
600 more than he had anticipated
and resulted In the loss of the loan."
Mr.. Rogers said that as a result
of these conditions. sales OF farms
are relatively few in number, and
many of those reported are small
tracts, we'll improved, located near
towns. They sell at a premium be-
cause of the housing shortage.
AS results of boom times, total
assets of farmers today are stated by
the Agriculture Department to be
in excess of 100000, ,0000 900, whereas
their total mortgage debt Is only
fractionally over five billion, and
total debts of all kinds amount to
So, ,337 ,000, 900.
An Easy Money" Attitude.
An analysis OF reports made by
more than 80 farm loan solicitors
and land appraisers throughout the
country discloses an "easy money"
attitude in many farmers.
At a recent conference in WASH
ington called by President Truman
and attended by representative
bankers and insurance companies
who, with some private lenders,
make about rs per cent of all farm
loans, it was decided not to authorize
any specific program" of discourag-
ing further land imitation.
Instead, the conference suggested
continuing a program of educating
farmers against incurring heavy
| debt.
1T isn't today that worries the
President-the farmer was never in
sounder condition than now, Mr..
Rogers said. Its what happens
| two years from now. These fabulous
incomes can't continue without the
price of everything going higher"

Steam Pressure Gamma

With the canning season ap-
preaching, home food professors
may look forward to more attrac-
tive and nutritious canned foods.
Studies, conducted by DR.. Edward
w. Toepfer and DR.. Howard Reyn-
olds and published in the current
Yearbook of Agriculture, reveal that
the processing time in pressure can
ners for many foods may be re-
duced safely.
The new canning times listed for
II vegetables are based on the
amount of heat required to kill Or
ganisms that are highly resistant to
heat. The tests also indicated that
the steam pressure method is the
only safe way to can nonacid vege-
tables.
While the processing times for
some vegetables have been cut, the
tests show that times for other

Small Estates Mechanized.

In addition to the latest ster
toward mechanizing the small farm
it should be noted that since the
war manufacturers have been do
ing their best to take the drudgery
out of small estate operations and
hobby gardening"
At present the gardener may
make his selection from large
field of machines that are de-
signed to do variety of jobs
from tending the garden to moving
the lawn.
There are three companies now
making the small garden rotary
tilling machine. These machines
prepare the soil to a depth of nine
inches and do the plowing, harrow
ing and discing in one operation
There are various attachments for
cultivating, furrowing, moving and
even snow ploWing.
Less. expensive than the rotary
tillers are a wide variety of garden
tractors, Thess are all walk
behind" machines equipped with
the various attachments necessary
to tending a small estate.

International Harvester Co. has
started volume production of a
small, low-cost tractor and matched
attachments for farms of S to 40
acres.
Known as the Farmall Cub, 1t was
demonstrated to farmers and dealers
last week at the University of Mary
land. Company officials said $4,000
will be produced during 1948, and
production should reach 10000 a
year in two years. They estimate
that 100000 American farms are
now without tractors.
The Cub will sell for about $3.50
fob. factory, and with five essential
implements will cost slightly more
than $500. The machine weighs 1900
pounds and delivers 9H horsepower

drawbar.
1t is two-thirds the weight and
power of the next larger model.
Attachments, such as the vegetable
seeder and weeder, have been de-
signed with the truck farmer in

Farmers Urged to Pay Mortgages.

toned farmers against plunging
headlong into debt for expansion

Dietrick Urges PAYMENT of Debts

Iof farm operations. Instead, Mr..
Dietrick said, farmers should pay off
existing mortgages and other debts
while returns on farm products are
still high.
Mr.. Dietrich said the months
ahead should offer farmers an excel
lent opportunity to save. Dollars
invested now in savings bonds, he
said, will increase in purchasing
power as prices fall" He added that
farmers should plan carefully on
how to spend these savings in the
future"
In planning future spending, the
director said, careful consideration
should be given to better education;
better health and nutrition; better
houses with running water, lights,
telephones and other conveniences;
recreation and better churches.
Labor Planning Advised.
Maryland farmers have been ad-
vised by Paul E. Nystrom, deputy
director Of the State Extension Serv-
Ice, to plan their seasonal labor re-
quirements now.
Mr.. Nystrom said no more Ba-
haman Or jamaican labor will be
sent to Maryland after July l. This
means, he said. that Maryland
farmers must recruit labor from
other sources.
He said a request has been made
to the Agriculture Department to
shift Mexican workers from the
West to meet some emergency
needs. 1t is not yet certain, how
ever, whether these workers will
be made available and in what num-
bers.
Advanced planning will be neces-
sary, he explained, because peak
harvest labor needs must be large
ly met from veterans and older
schoolboys, other local labor, VOL
unteer workers from the cities and
migratory workers from other States.
