This Week in the Garden

If you were unfortunate enough
to have had your dahlias cut
down by the early freeze in Sep
tember you will be digging them
soon. 1t is we'll to cut off the
tops and leave them in the
ground for few days following
freeze.
X + X X
Ismene lilies may be dug now,
the tops cut off and the bulbs
allowed to dry thoroughly before
winter storing. They need to be
kept in a warm, dry place.
Most glads may be dug now.
Cut off the tops and allow them
to dry before putting them away
for the winter. Some growers
like to put them into trays now,
where they may become thor
oughly dry, saving the job of
cleaning them up for some cold
evening later in the fall, when
the rush Of autumn work Is over.

1t is well to bring potted plants
into the warm house by easy
stages. First put them on the
porch, then in the basement and
finally into the sunny window,
where they will grow all winter
long.

1t will soon be time to set out
pansy plants. Put them in good
rich soil and mulch we'll with
manure. Do not cover the leaves.

Poultry Lice Control
Possible With DDT

George Quigley of the University
of Maryland says 20 per cent DDT
dust is cheap, effective and labor
saving method of Kidding the hen
house of lice. One-half pound of
the dust will treat 100 chickens,
busted over their backs with a hand
duster after they have gone to roost
at night. Two applications should
be made at two-week interval.
Several species of lice may be
found on poultry, and when present
in large numbers may materially
cut down egg production. They are
threat throughout the year, but
Mr.. Quigley says control is particu-
larly important during the fall
months when eggs are at premium.

Orchard Grass
Tests Improve
Yield of Seed
BY jones BirchfieId

Ask any stockman and he'll sing
the praises of orchard grass-that
tough, bunch-type perennial that
has been going strong In Virginia
since 1t was first brought from
Europe about 1760.
Orchard grass will stand heavy
grazing. 1t often is combined with
other grasses in permanent pastures
because of this characteristic, and
its production long has been an
important part of the agricultural
program of Northern Virginia.
The counties of Loudoun and
Fauquier lead the world in the pro-
duction of orchard grass seed, and
there this summer experiments have
been conducted that may further
improve and increase the yearly
yield.
Two Problems Encountered.
Two problems have confronted
the producer of orchard grass seed
how to control weeds and economical
thresing methods.
The grass seeds are small, and no
mechanical means has been de-
veloped that will clean the weed
seeds from the commercial product,
In threshing, considerable waste oc-
cures with the use Of conventional
threshing machinery because of the
small size and light weight of the
grass seed.
Loudoun producers, who have been
working in cooperation with scien-
lists at the Virginia Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, believe they may
have the answer to clean grass seed.
Experiments conducted this sum-
mer with the use of nitrogen fer
tlllzers indicate that when heavy
applications of nitrogen are made to
orchard grass stands, most of the
weeds are choked out, allowing yields
OF clean seed to be harvested.
Uniform Growth Achieved.
The nitrogen applications also
brought out another possibility
that the even growth brought about
from the use of nitrogen may make
the combining of the seed possible.
Normally, the grass grows at
va J3AA6 AlS164lbo, WlllCIl IllGdllS lIldC
a combine. since it cuts the grass
or grain just below the seed head,
could not = be satisfactorily used.
When heavy applications of nitrogen
are made, however. the grass tends
to grow to uniform height. This
should make combining simple
matter.
In experimenting with machinery
that would thresh the grass seed,
Frank Sanders. a Loudoun County
farmer, rugged up an attachment for
his conventional thresher that will
handle the small grass seed with the
minimum loss.
Mr.. Sanders explained that with
the conventional machine quantities
of the small, lightweight seed are
blown out with the straw. He. de-
signed and had constructed an at
tachment that stops to a large ex-
tent this loss. Mr.. Sanders attach
ments makes use of the principal of
sitting and allows little air to be
blown over the seed
In the nitrogen experiments,
agronomists found that when 100
pounds per acre was used hay yields
increased five times and the pro-
tein content rose more than 9 per
rent

Veterans Guide
By Moi. Thomos M. Mol

|strides the VA prosthetic appliance
service has taken.
The VA makes no limbs itself. 1t
never has. Parts for artificial limbs
are made by private companies.
They carry on their own experiment
tation but up to recently there was
no coordination and little cooper
alton between one company and
another.
These companies market their
products to hundreds of small re-
tail outfits all over the country.
There are about 800 of these limb
shops. Each has its own special
technique for putting the finishing
touches to the parts 1t buys from
the companies.
When veteran, or any other per-
son, wants to buy a limb he goes
to one of these shops.
In the past the only connection
between artificial limbs and the VA
was that the VA paid the bill for
veterans who needed the limbs. The
VA made no particular effort to
organize an artificial limb program
or to work with limb manufacturers
to improve the quality of their pro-
duct.
Today it's different. The VA is
up to its neck in the development
and research of better prosthetic
appliances. Not only will veterans
benefit but in the long run so will
all amputees.

roughage and make maximum use
of pastures; however, don't let cattle
overgraze pastures, especially in
early spring when grass should run
about inches high before going
under hoof. Feed as little grain as
possible for maintenance this winter.
Carry at least some of the cattle on
a maintenance of roughage for a-few
months before starting grain feeding.
DAIRY CATTLE-Feed roughages
to the limit, especially legumes such
as alfalfa and clover, possible with
out serious effects on total milk yield.
Reduce amounts of hay fed to dry
cows and make maximum use of
pastures.
POULTRY-Reduce size of laying
f1ocks through culling. Even with
per cent fewer layers by January
l it will be possible to produce 375
eggs per capita in 1948, largest on
record. Use more green feeds. Feed
economically by not overfilling hop
pers. Maintain quality of eggs by
packing correctly. Keep flocks

Chapman, Turnesa Clash
In British Amateur Final
BY GLENN WILLIAMS

CARNOUSTIE. May 30-(P)CFor
the first time a pair OF Americans,
Willie Turnesa and Dick Chap
man, will meet tomorrow in the
36-hole final for the British Anna
teur Golf championship over wind
swept Carnoustie.
The two Walker Cup stars, both
former winners of the American
amateur crown, turned the classic
into a private affair by scoring
two resounding victories apiece
today and Sitting Scotland's last
hope that n of her sons might
succeed to the title won last year
by Jimmy Bruen of Ireland.
Turnesa, a gem of consistency
all week, turned back his team
mate, Marvin (Bud) Ward of
Spokane, Wash, 2 and l, in a tense
morning match and then romped
to an easy 4 and 3 win over John
Campbell, a week end player from
Glasgow, in the semi-finals.
Though he didn't play sparkling
golf, himself, Chapman managed
to subdue a pair Of m~iddle-aged
Scotsmen who apparently were
ratified by the occasion. His nom
ing opponent, Robert Rutherford,
who yesterday slapped down two
Walker Cuppers, Skee Riegel Of
the U. S. and Leonard CraWley
of Britain, took 43 shots on the
front nine today and continued in
similar form on the home side
until Dick closed him out, 3 and 2.
Sam McKinlay, a 3~9-year-old
Glasgow editorial writer, did even
worse in the afternoon, but still
carried Chapman to the last hole.
The Scot went out in A to Chap
mans AZ and came back in AZ to
Chapman's 40. They halved only
four holes on THO round. Chapman
finally settled dewn to win it on
the last two hot9s with a par on
the 18th and II only birdie on
the 18th.
Turnesa recareA tonight that he
and Chapman, 10th native New
Workers, had ~ twice before
in minor tournasa9ats more than a
decade ago, and that each scored
one decision. Tomorrow will be the
rubber.
On the basis of their play today,
Turnesa had to be made favorite
to add the British title to the
American crown he won back in
1898 at Oakmont, Pa. A COM
parison of their cards in the semi
final showed that the youngest of
the Turnesas would have been
three up on Chapman At the end

Spoford Mills, Eyemen
Take S0ftbaU Contests

Two tight games featured last
nights softball doubleheader at Ro-
bert Strange park. Spofford Mills
defeated Alpha Omega, 4-3, in the
first game and City Optical edged
the Atlantic Coast Line team, 50,
in the second tilt.
Both victors had to hold off late
inning rallies. In the initial tussle
Spofford was leading Alpha Omega,
4 to l, going into the seventh inn
ing. c. F. Bell then singled, Ed
Hobbs got on base on the opposing
second baseman's miscue. Bell
scored on a wild pitch from third.
Worley walked. Lee knocked a
grounder to short and Hobbs tailed
the error Boyd popped out, and
Lee was caught off first base by
Spofford catcher Burney Coving-
ton.
Leading batsmen in this affray
were Burney Covington of Spot
ford with three for three and Bob
Boyd and Jack Bohannon of Alpha
Omega with a double each.
City Optical also thought they
had the second game in the bag I'M

seventh innings. With the count S

In Warsaw, Sanford's House had
himself a 80 two-hit ball game I'M
til the last half of the eight inn
ing. The Red Sox then got their
last four hits of the game and
House added two walks and hit
Jones with a pitched ball for the
second time during the evening.
When the clouds had lifted, the
score stood Warsaw 6, Sanford 8.
That's the way the game ended.
Dunn-Erwin's Carl McQuillen hit
his sixth home run of the season
last night, but it was al. to no avail
as the Clinton Blues took advant-
age of Sanford's loss to edge a
game carer to first place. They
had three large frames in which
they collected a total of Is runs
off three Dunn pitchers.
The other end of the 1916 lambast-
ing was supplied mostly by Nc
CULLEN and Jackson. The latter,
in addition to hitting a home run,
blasted out two doubles and drove

BELMONT OFFERS
FANCIEST PRIZE
NEW YORK, May 30 - P

NA' 'HN
The biggest field in II years
Faultless and eight other three
year olds-Was entered today for
tomorrow's 18th running of the
Belmont Stakes, and they'll have
the fanciest paycheck in the 30
year history of this ancient classic
to shoot at.
Not even the presence of the
tall, rangy Preakness winner as
practically a prohibitive favorits
for this third 500, 900 leg Of the
triple crown could scare away any
of the expected entries. AS a mat
ter of fact, one surprise showed up
in Lady's Ace, from the barn of
William Helis, whose chief claim
to fame was a second place in the
Louisiana Derby last winter.
AS a result, the nine hopefuls
piled up a gross pot Of $118, 500 for
this mile-and-a-half meander that
many horsemen say is a truer test
of the three-year olds than either
the Derby or the Preakness.
Of this pile, the winners share
figured out to $78, 900, the most any
Belmont glamour boy ever has
picked since they began this scram-
BILE two years after the Civil war.
There doesn't appear to be any
thing in the Belmont to stop Fault
less from making it three wins in
a row in a 20-day stretch and be-
coming the first since Bimelech,
back in 1910, to take the Preakness
and Belmont. after losing the Der
