Milk Prices Reach
Nezv Record Levels:
Land Values Rise

Farm real estate values and prices
received by farmers for milk have
reached new levels throughout most
of the Nation, according to the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics.
Prices received for fluid milk early
this month reached new record
levels, the bureau reported, with
increases reported in nearly all
areas
The bureau said the average price
received by farmers for milk over
the Nation was $5.29 per hundred
weight for Glass I milk of 35 per
cent butterfat content.
This was 13 cents per hundred
weight above the average price re-
ceived last month, the bureau said
and SO cents per hundredweight
above the average for August year
ago.
For the second successive month
since March, the bureau said, both
the average retail price and the
average milk dealers buying price
were at new record high levels.
Reporting on real estate, the bu-
reau said farm values continued to
increase, with a definite uptrend In
land values in all but about 10
States.
The bureau said Virginia was
among States recording increases in
farm land values of per cent or
more, while farm values in Mary
land remained unchanged.

Increase in Storage
Facilities Advised

Farmers in this area should In
crease farm storage facilities.
This is the advice Of Joseph H
Blandford, chairman of the Mary
land Production and Marketing
Administration Committee, who
said that farmers should prepare
to store more grain on farms to
relieve overtaxed commercial stor-
age facilities.
This years crop is the most ex-
Ipensive ever produced In terms OF
farmers production COSTS Mr.
Blandford said. This makes II
even more important that farmers
do everything possible to protec,
their investments in grain"
In many instances, Mr.. Bland
ford said, adequate farm storage
facilities will permit farmers tc
hold grain for optimim prices.

u. S. Rose Wins
Paris Award

Suffers Gold, a new rose orig.
mated by Hrebert c. Swim OF the
Armstrong Nurseries, Ontario, Calf.
has been awarded the gold media
at the international Congress oi
New Roses at Paris, France.
The rose was named in honor oil
the Tooth anniversary Of the dis
covery of gold in California.
The award this year is the sec
ond straight win for Mr.. Swim at
the Paris congress, and Is the first
time the award has been given two
years in succession to an American
rose. Last year the medal went to
Mr.. Swim for his rose, Applause.
Suffers Gold was described as
having long, pointed yellow buds
which are richly shaded with orange
and red. 1t is expected that plants
of the new rose will be available
by next year.

as money making ventures. Even
so, they afford many the oppor-
tunity to enjoy horticultural beauty.
One such garden was recently de-
scribed in the National Geographic
magazine.
Public Gardens Urged.
More public gardens are needed,
especially in the larger cities where
crowded conditions deprive many Of
the enjoyment of flowers and gar
dens. To put it another way, chill
dren growing up in congested cities
need parks and gardens where they
may learn to know and appreciate
plant life-those things that many
of us take for granted.
1t is gratifying to note that many
cities and communities are taking
steps to insure such improvements.
Following the war, we were glad to
note the interest in developing liv-
ing memorials rather than cold
stone or military trophies that usual
ly grace CD the courthouse square
Another phase of the postwar
change, hardly as promising as those
named above, is the problem of
maintaining lovely private gardens.
Initiation has hit the gardnerer as
well as every one else. Costs of la
Dor and materials have forced some
to curtail their gardening activities.
Perhaps they will continue their
gardens but upon smaller scale,
doing the work themselves. This
may be blessing in disguise, espe-
cially for Office workers, as a small
amount of physical exercise is high
ly beneficial, but it should not be
more than time or strength will per-
NIT. 1t is our observation that the
gardener who grows his own flowers
gains much that Is denied to the
person who has them grown for him.
Flower growing is a fascinating
hobby that grows on one, mental
stimulus fully as important as the
physical exercise.

with plowing, as with almost every

This Week in
the Garden

Continued rains and high humid.
ity have served to spread tomato
diseases far and wide. Many re.
ports indicate that very few tomato
plants have escaped injury except
those which have been CAREFUL,
sprayed or busted. The late blight
is reported in various parts Of the
Washington area. It may be recog.
nized by the dark water -soakec
streaks on fruit and leaf. Pull anc
burn all infected plants.
Vascular wilt Is present in many
gardens and 1t Is also fatal to in
fected plants. This disease may be
recognized BY the ripid whiting and
browning of the foliage. Check the
observation by making . shallow
cut on the main stem near the
ground. II 1t is infected with the
vascular wilt the stem will be dark
rather than green. Pull and burn
infected plants.
Several forms Of mosaic are pres
ent and they usually cause = stunt
ing of the plant, but do not stop
its growth or production. Some
gardeners remove these plants.
othere keep them for the fruit. Leaf
spots and other diseases were found
by DR.. r. J. Haskell, extension
pathologist of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In q re-
cent tour Of the area.
Very few gardeners take advan-
tage OF the opportunity to order
small-sized perennial and biennial
plants for setting out In mid-Sep-
tember. It is possible to save con-
siderable by purchasing the small
inexpensive plants, which quickly
become established, are winter hardy
and will give fully as good results
II not better than iarger-sised plants
set out In the spring. 80 nS
The planting Of the fall garden
may be continued with sowings OF
lettuce, summer aradishes, -endive
peas and beets. In the more pro-
tected sections Of the city where q
frost is not expected before October
20 there is at least 90 days for the
crop to mature in. In the outskirts
Of the area this period may be as
short as 45 days. The gardener can
look over his catalogues and plan
accordingly.
1t will pay to keep spraying or
busting for the Jap beetles even
though their numbers seem small
compared to the swarms Of = few
weeks ago. However, we should kill
them as fast as possible. The
females deposit eggs In the soil
every few days during their short
span of hfe-75 days above ground.
We should do everything possible to
shorten that period with DDT or
any other potent insecticide.

Dogs
By Peter Boaos

A dog that kills chickens Is a
problem to his owner. Here's a
method, that I have found most
satisfactory in curing a dog of the
chicken-killing habit.
Tie large portion Of freshly
killed chicken to the dogs collar.
Fasten it securely to the top of
the collar on the back of the neck
so that he will not be able to reach
it with his paws or mouth. Do not
remove it for five or six days, by
which time the odor of chicken will
have become forever loathsome to
the dog. I don't think I need add
that while the chicken is attached
to his collar, the dog should be kept
tied up in the back yard.
I will guarantee the above method
to cure almost any dog of killing
chickens, but If it seems too radical,
here is another method. Saturate a
freshly killed fowl with pepper and
mustard and leave it, where the dog
will find it. This works in many
cases. But I have never known a
dog treated by the first method to
kill another chicken.
People speak of a mad dog as
racing down the street, foaming at
the mouth. Such dog is much more
likely to be having a fit than to be
suffering from rabies. A rabid dog
is a mighty sick animal and is more
likely to lie down or to lurch along
slowly and waveringly. He does not
see clearly and is apt to stumble
against solid objects. He is likely to
snap at anything that comes within
his reach.
If you encounter a dog which
refuses to yield an inch of sidewalk
to you, and acts groggy and walks
unsteadily then keep we'll out OF
his way. For that is how rabid
dog is likely to act. Seldom is it
possible for a dog to run at any
speed when he is in that state. Con-
trary to popular belief, rabid dog
does not hate or fear to drink water.

I should not feed my dog raw car
rots. Is that true? =

Answer: Raw carrots are hard for
a dog to digest. Carrots well cooked
would be a good addition to the
diet of your dog.

that count against him in the show

Answer: A perfect specimen of an

Of either black or dark grizzle. Your

Proposed Rules Hit
AtFCC Hearing on Ban
OF Give-Away Shows

After hearing arguments of coun-
sci for broadcasting networks and
individual stations on proposed rules
to ban give-away radio and tele-
vision programs, the Federal Com
munications Commission yesterday
closed its one-day hearing on the
subject.
Many of those heard approved Of
the first of four proposed rules that
would make any prize contest il
legal in which winner would be
required to have In his possession any
product sold by the sponsor.
| They objected to the other pro-
posed rules which would outlaw con-
tests that required a winner to be
listening to the particular radio pro-
gram or to be viewing particular
teleyision show; to answer a ques-
ton when the answer has been
broadcast by the station; or to
answer telephone if the telephone
conversation is broadcast by the
station.
Gustav B. Margraf, representing
the National Broadcasting Co., said:
1--WE do not think that quiz and
contest programs which are limited
to members of studio and theater
audiences contain the vice
which lies at the basis of the pro-
posed rules"

julius Brauner, representing the
Columbia Broadcasting System, en-
phasized that any such action would
be censorship. CHS has giveaway
program entitled Hit the Jack Pot.
Edward K. Wheeler, representing
the XII stations, a group of IA
transmitters in Montana, Washing
ton and oregon, said that regula-
tions limiting give-away programs
to studio audiences would be unfair
to small stations which do not, as
rule, have studio theaters.
