|Spring Thow Arrives in Moscow
But Not for Bio Four Council

On top of all this, Secretary OF
State Marshall has been here Ii
days without seeing Prime Minister
Stain, the only one of the visiting
Foreign Ministers who has not had
such an audience.
Whether properly or improperly
most observers here are interpret
ing that fact as an indication OF
the Kremlin's displeasure with
President Truman's program for
American aid to Greece and Tur-
key, although many suspect that
Russia still is making medicine and
is not quite ready for a conference
with Gen. Marshall.
Russians Pessimistic.
The Russian people, who had high
hopes for the success of the Big
-Four Conference when it convened,
have grown pessimistic since the
Presidents speech on Greece and
Turkey March IL. One Russian
even asked this correspondent If
the United States was thinking of
attacking the Soviet Union.
In previous international confer
ences, diplomatic informants said,
any lack of progress has seemed to
initiate against the United States,
since her representatives seemed to
think 1t imperative that they take
home some kind of agreement, and
compromised at the last minute to
get some.
This time, however, the American
outlook seems to have changed and
the delegation here now feels it can
quite conceivably go home without
any agreements if none are possible
without Improbable compromises.

MOSCOW, Mar. 27.-The spring
thaw was in full swing in Moscow
today, but there were no signs that
the warm sun would tend to break
the freezeup in the Foreign Min
listers Council.
The sun, breaking through leaden
clouds spasmodically. filled Moscow's
side streets with slush, and, coupled
with sad spring wind off the
Muscovite plain, caused some del
egates to glance longingly at their
luggage and whisper in spring.
feverish way about home.
It really wasn't spring fever, but
lack of conference progress, and
word was bruited about in some
quarters that certain high person :
ages wouldn't be hanging around
Moscow for long If there wasn't a
little progress soon in the Council.
Deputies Might Continue.
Such departures would not neces-
sarily mean that sthe conference
would fold up, since deputy foreign
ministers might be assigned to 60
ahead with the job on the Austrian
and German peace treaties. but by
now pretty nearly every one has an
opinion of how this would work out.

Senate 10 Vote Today
On Maryland Budget
As Speedup Begins
By J. B. Zotmon
Sior Sioff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 27.-The Gen.
eral Assembly today prepared to
speed up work on the Governors
$219, 10000 budget for the next two
fiscal years with final action sched-
uled in the Senate.
A favorable report on the bill by
the Finance Committee was ap-
proved yesterday. After the Senate
acts, it will go to the House of Dele
gates as one of the last big jobs
before the Legislature adjourns
Monday.
Still pending before the Senate
is a bill to increase personal income
taxes from 2 to 2.5 per cent and
corporate income taxes from is to
per cent.
When introduced, the budget
called for appropriations totaling
$91 ,055, ,543 from general funds and
$76 1853 200 in special funds. .
The supplemental budget asked
for an additional $28, ,365, ,290 in gen.
eral funds and s23,4s2.78 in special
funds.
Tax Bill Approved.
Moving rapidly ahead after dis
posing Of the sales tax, the Senate
yesterday sent to the House a COM
panion measure providing for a
per cent levy on goods purchased
outside Maryland for use in the
State. ..
Also receiving Senate approval
were two bills intended to carry out
the highway and bridge program
urged by Gov Lane.
Total cost of the projects would
be $163 100000, of which $139, ,O0O,-
900 would be available to the State
Roads Commission during the next
five years.
The remaining $24,000,00o would
be used for construction of Chesa-
peak Bay Bridge and other spans.
The road bid also calls for an in
crease from 4 to S cents gallon in
the State gasoline tax and a $780,
100000 bond issue.
A lone effort to delay passage OF
the two bills was short-lived.
House Rejects Racing Tax Boost.
Meanwhile, the House, after q
spirited debate, rejected a bill tc
increase the State tax on race tracks
from 4 to per cent and approved
measure to give the State all
breakage at mile race tracks.
The House also concurred in q
Senate amendment to bill creating
a commission to eliminate pollution
in Maryland streams.
The amendment would exempt
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission and would limit to
$3.50, 900 the amount the commission
could be required to spend annually
to prevent pollution.
r. Duncan Clark, Republican, OF
Montgomery County said it is "ab-
solutely unjust to exempt the large
water pollution area served by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission"
Opposition also was voiced by an
other Montgomery delegate, John
r. Reeves, Republican.
George G. McLeish, Democrat, OF
Prince Georges County, in support
ing the amendment, said its rejec-
ton by the House would bankrupt
the Sanitary Commission.

Farmers Urged To Grow Own
Burley Leaf Plants This Year

H. D. Quessenberry, county
agent, this week advised farmers
to grow their own hurley tobacco
plants to insure better quality
and offered some advice in the
production Of plants.
The 1916 low quality and al
most failure in some cases OF
hurley tobacco was mainly due
to poor plants and late trans
planting. A little detailed care
will insure plenty of hurley
plants and there is less chance of
disease in the field if plants are
grown at home rather than i'm
ported" he said.
In sowing plant beds for the
1947 crop, growers will find that
liberal fertilization, blue mold
and wildfire control, and proper
plant bed management will do
much to insure an early supply
of good strong plants" he ex-
planned, and pointed out the fol-
lowing factors in successful plant
production
81. Blue mold and wildfire can
be controlled in practical way
and economically. (For details
see your county agent).
"2. Last year many hurley
plants showed nitrogen deficiency
and were late because of this
fact. Growers are urged to use
about two pounds of a 4-9-3 plant
bed fertilizer per square yard of
bed surface. This fertilizer is
broadcast on a we'll pulverized
seed bed and raked into the soil
with a garden rake Immediately
before seeding or one to two
weeks before seeding. Growers
who have used Cyanamid or Cy-
anamid and Uramon for plant
bed soil sterilization should use
about one to one and one-half
pounds Of fertilizer per square
yard and avoid disturbing the soil
deeply as the fertilizer is applied.
A garden rake is most nearly
suited for raking the fertilizer
into the upper surface.
80. Growers who have expert
enced difficulty due to freezing
out of plants will find it helpful
if two seedlings are made. That
is, prepare and sow the plant bed
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-03-06

fairly early, then prepare and
SOW another bed later as inSur-
ance against freezing out Of the
earlier plants. Many growers
follow the practice of an early
and late seeding on the same bed.
That is, SOW the same bed a sec
ond time about three weeks at
ter the first seeding. The seeds
are sown on top of the ground
without disturbing the surface of
the soil BY this practice, if the
early seeding is not frozen out,
the later seeding is shaded so
that they do not interfere with
the early plants. If the early
seeding is frozen out then the
later seeding has room to de-
velop.
Il. Watering the bed at seed
terminating time will in many
cases mean the difference in a
stand of plants or failure. Since
the seeds are sown on the surface
of the ground, dry crusty soil at
seed terminating time will cause
many of the young plants to die.
IS. During the plant growing
season, additional nitrogen used
as a top-dressing may be neces-
sary to push the plants along to
avoid late transplanting. Usually
from one to three applications
of about two to five pounds of
nitrate, such as nitrate of soda,
per 100 square yards of bed space
will be quite sufficient to hasten
the growth of slow plants. This
nitrogen, two to five pounds, may
be dissolved in fifty gallons of
water and applied to 100 square
yards. Fifty gallons of clear wa
ter should then be used to wash
the plants off. Some growers use
the pellet form of nitrate of soda
and broadcast two to five pounds
over 100 square yards of bed
while the plants are dry. A corn
broom is then used to brush the
pellets off the plants on to the
soil.
Is. Plant beds should not be
located in the depths of the mar
row, shady gorges but advantage
should be taken of protected
coves where level and fertile soil
can usually be found. These To-
cations should be exposed to the
south Or southeast for most di-
rect sunlight"
