Virginia Grass
Able to Sustain
MOreLivestock
By james BirchfieId

In drive from Northern Vir-
ginia, down through the valley and
into the bluegrass, mountainous re-
gion in the extreme southwestern
tip OF the State, one Is impressed
by the lack of japanese beetle dam
age and the increasing number Of
cattle seen grazing in the rolling
pastures in the Southwest.
While no figures on the number
OF cattle on Northern Virginia
farms are available. 1t takes but O.
short trip through Fairfax, Fau-
quier and Loudoun Counties to see
bluegrass pastures that are brown
from going to seed, indicating an
insufficient number of livestock to
keep the grass grazed down.
This shortage Of cattle numbers
already has been observed by some
Northern Virginia agricultural lead
ers, who attribute it to high meat
prices that have drained off the
farms the young cattle. Some fear
that 1t may be several years before
livestock numbers are adequately
rebuilt.
Beetle Future Is Weighed.
Farmers in the Northern Virginia
area, however, are more concerned
by the heavy infestation of Japa-
nese beetles this season-and the
implications for future summers.
Responsible leaders believe Vir-
ginia should launch a beetle eradi-
cation program similar to the one
being carried on in Maryland this
year-warning that if corrective
measures are not taken at once
farmers may face serious damages
in the future.
1t is held that beetle control
measures, in order to be most effec-
tive, must be area-Wide, and such
a program demands that leadership
be taken by the State.
Tobacco Research Needed.
The Tobacco Advisory Committee
recently reported to the Agriculture
Department that research toward
higher quality and more orderly
marketing of tobacco are problems
most urgently in need of action
under the 1946 Marketing Act.
Pointing out that an increasingly
larger portion of tobacco is being
used in cigarettes, the committee
urged that studies be directed to-
ward improving tobacco quality
through the development of suit
able fertilizers, improving methods
OF fertilizer application, improved
breeding and curing methods.
Two Lime Types Offered.
Under new policy adopted re-
Gently by the Maryland Production
and Marketing Administration Com
mittee, county AAA Offices will Of
fer farmers ground burned lime
and hydrated lime, not previously
included in the program, according
to Joseph H. Blandford, State PIMA
chairman.
The program will operate on
purchase order basis, Mr.. Bland
ford said. Farmers will receive pur-
chase orders from their county AAA
offices. These orders will apply as
partial payment for the lime ma
teriak.
Prepare Now for Small Fruits.
Gardeners who may plant straw
berries. raspberries, grapes and
other small fruits next spring are
being advised by horticulturists to
prepare the ground now. Large
amounts, of organic matter should
be incorporated with the soil. This
may oe done by adding manure or
by planting green cover crops to be
plowed under. Where stable manure
is used IS pounds of superphosphate
should be applied with each load
of manure.

jumpers That Remain Lowly
Several Dwarfs Will "Stay Put" While
Providing Interesting Leaf Colors
By w. H. Younqmon

Many gardeners are biased against
the jumpers largely because the
Virginia or Eastern Fed Cedar be-
comes so scraggly after a few years.
The Irish juniper Is another species
that is definitely not adapted to
this area. .
This general condemnation of a
plant family Is unfortunate since
there are species of the juniper
group that have many worthwhile
characteristics. Besides having sew
eral species that remain low, the
family as whole seems to with
stand the hotter, drier situations
better than most evergreens.
This is not to say that all jumpers
thrive in foundation paintings, for
some are too robust for low situa-
tions. Most gardeners will know the
Pfitzer juniper, but it is too vigorous
for most foundation paintings, even
though it Is better able to Withstand
smoke and city conditions than al
most any other evergreen.
Some of the Lowest Growers.
The lowest of the jumpers is the
PROSTATE juniper q. horizontalis) :.
The dark green foliage of this
creeper is probably the best way Of
identifying it for the varieties of this
species have foliage of rather distinc-
tive colors. The Waukegan juniper
q. h. douglas) has steel-blue leaves;
the Andorra juniper q. h. plumosa) +,
another variety, has gray-green
leaves which assume a purple color
in winter. These three are low
growing, seldom having an ascend
ing branch and the total height
generally does not exceed l foot
They are perfectly hardy and with
stand exposure unusually well. The
j. horzontalis group are sopetimes
considered difficult to establish. If
they are well-pruned at transplant
ing time and come from nursery
where root-pruning Is practiced, no
difficulty should be encountered.
Similar to the foregoing, but of
much slower growth, is the Sar-
gents juniper q. chinensis sargentD
with bluish-green foliage. 1t is not
commonly propagated and Is more
difficult to obtain.
The Shore juniper q. conferta)
has light green foliage, makes an
interesting specimen in front of any
shrub border. In spite of its sus-
ceptibility to winter-burn, If given
some protection, it will do well in
almost any situation here.
Savin Group Under 18 Inches.
Another species Of low-growing
varieties is the Savin juniper q. sa-
bina), whose varieties, Cypress (cu-
pressifolia) and the Tamarix q. s..
tamariscifolia) are almost as low
growing as the preceding. The Cy-
press juniper has blue-green foliage
The Tamarix has gray leaves. Both
are hardy and. while slightly taller
growing than those mentioned
above, ordinarily may be counted on
to stay under 18 inches.
The Savin juniper (the species
and not the varieties) with its
spreading vase form of growth gives
the appearance of a PROSTATE
grower although 1t will reach
height Of 2 feet or more. A favorite
Of many gardeners and one Of the
hardest of the jumpers, it is well
worth having even though 1t may
need pruning to keep. it within
bounds.
Still taller In growth is Juniperus
squamata and its variety Meyeri

curbs, are necessary to prevent
erosion and to provide facilities for
the increase IN trafnc.
The urban city requires intricate
drainage systems and heavy duty
pavements, sidewalks and curbs and
cutters to Withstand the heavier
use and reduce maintenance to q
minimum.
Public water supply and sewage,
garbage and trash disposal are basic
necessities to prevent disease and
pestilence. The more built-up COM
munity increases the hazards from
fires. Adequate water mains. de-
pendable alarm systems and mod
ern fire-fighting equipment. there
fore, must be provided.
The larger neighborhood attracts
more transients and the temper
and behavior OF some Of the people
living in, or coming from outside
the community, are such as to re-
quire the establishment Of q police
force.
Cultural Aids Needed.
To protect the people from in
creased trafiic hazards, public null
sances and other dangers, the
simple street lighting in the rural or
suburban areas must be replaced
with standards closer together for
better lighting In the urban city.
Educational and cultural facilities
add greatly to the well-being Of
people. The neighborhood should
have at least one primary school
located within walking distance Of
the majority Of the homes. In the
rural and some suburban areas the
substitution of the school bus" may
be the best that the community can
afford.
The high school, library, museums
and other such facilities should be
located on convenient transporta-
ton routes.
The urban areas require more in
tensely developed recreation areas,
parks and supervised Fairgrounds.

plants prior to using them In the
fall.
2. Don't use defective appliances.
;. Remove trash and rubbish from

First Of all, neighborhood boun-

Standards Are Varied.
To some people the neighborhood
is where they were born and raised
They had no opportunity to choose
their environment. To others 1t Is
where they have moved by choice
or force of circumstances. AS the
aeighborhood exerts great deal
Of influence on its inhabitants, 1t
is important to determine its good
or bad characteristics.
The standards Tor ne1ghborhood
are as varied as the people who
live in them. Usually people have
established themselves in one loca-
ton because OF their mutual in
terests and their desire for social
contact.
Sooner or later the basic services
that contribute to the spiritual and
physical weu-being Of the people
spring up-such as the church or
community hall, and the grocery
or general store. Adequate and pure
water is generally available, either
from individual wells or a common
water supply. Sewage disposal may
be through septic tanks in rural
areas, or = public system in the
more built-up areas.
Service Facilities.
As the neighborhood becomes
larger and more densely populated,
the demands for additional services,
conveniences and amenities become
greater. In the suburban-type de-

that provisions of the District fire
code are complied with when con-
struction is under way.
"You owe 1t to yourself, your
family and your community to have
these rules observed" he said.
Fire safety regulations were de-
veloped to prevent the type Of fires
caused by previous lack Of them, "
he continued.
"You would think that with the
adequate building regulations in

The planners believe, on the other

Both schools favor belt-line
highway of some sort in the outer
sections of the District.
But the Highway Department
wants to put one together out OF
existing streets, like Nebraska and
Missouri avenues, without employ
ing many grade separations or much
new construction.
The planners say this isn't enough
that full-scale parkway is needed
for the purpose, one that will take
passenger vehicles of present
streets, leaving them for the move

siphon through-traffic from Is major
road approaches to the District,

This Is the basis for their Fort

viewpoints.
Both schools have aired the main
