Economist Fears Cu1
Tn Farm Exports

Predicting a decrease this year In
exports of farm commodities. DR.
Harry M, Love, Virginia agricul-
tural economist, advised State
farmers to play the game eau
tiously" and set their financial af-
fairs in order.
DR.. Love. said reports Of better
crop conditions in Europe indicate
that fewer farm products will be
exported this year. This likely will
slow down industrial production
and business activity until domestic
demand can absorb the excess, he
said.
He advised farmers to convert
debts which cannot be paid to long
term obligations, and to find means
of reducing labor costs. He also
cautioned against buying expensive
farm machinery and urged farm
ers to Gull low-producing livestock

The urgency of spring has gotten
me of schedule. I find that plans
which came easily last winter be-
side the open fire, are inclined to
be too ambitious when it comes
time to put them into effect.
My 40 Virginia acres should have
q far different look at this season.
If the imaginative picture I drew
last winter had come true, my front
pastures by now would be green
with a thick layer of bluegrass,
and the backfield, the one beside
where the pines have come in thick,
would be showing sheen Of green
lespedeza. 1t appears another year
must go by before this will come
about.
The part time farmer, it seems
to me, has two great handicaps.
There is the shortage Of time, and
with me, at any rate, the tendency
to let odd jobs crowd in on the
more important ones. am quite
capable of spending day building
q chicken coup at the expense Of
more important chores.

Shippers From Brown
Pace College Dinghy
Meet; Yale Second
By Malcolm Lomborne. Jr.
Stor Sfoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May Is
Brown University shippers late to-
day had rolled up a 9-point lead
over the defending champions from
Yale at the halfway mark in the
18th annual intercollegiate dinghy
championship of the Naval Acad-
emy.
Brown Charles III, a top Class E
scow sailor from Barnegat Bay, and
Rick Wilson. president of the Inter-
collegiate Yacht Racing Associa-
ton, sailed a superb series Of 13
races between them to total 141
points.
Bobby Coulson, twice national
junior champion, and Bob Monetti,
an Atlantic Glass ace, sailing for
Yale, garnered 1872 points. This
same pair won the Morss Trophy
last year. This 12-year-old prize
is the symbol of intercollegiate
dinghy supremacy.
Navy's Harvey Conover, jr., and
Dave Cluett were only a point back
of the Yale pair and were definitely
still in the fight.
Travelling all the way from San
Diego, Calf, to give the event its
first truly national tone, red-headed
Lowell North and Tom Scripps, both
well-known star shippers, stood In
fourth position with 1913 points.
Coast Guards 112 tallies gave the
New London academy fifth and
Penn was sixth with 81. Strung out
behind these were five Midwestern
schools-Purdue, Northwestern, Ohio
State, Michigan and Denison.
During a break at lunchtime,
Gardner Cox, George Washington S
sailing coach. and Comdr. Dick La
than, Navy's sailing officer raced
off third-place tie of yesterday for
the Alan r. Lukems Trophy for
graduate sailors. Cox was the win
ner
Today's races were sailed in a
smart northwesterly breeze that
slowly died in the late afternoon and
in the final event gave Division A
shippers their only ghosting of the

1899, and ended seven months later
The British commander ordered q
special kind Of paper money to be
issued. This money passed about
freely, and it served its purpose
during the siege. A British Army
came marching to the spot in May
1900, and the Beers were driver
away.
A strange form Of paper money
was used in Canada from 1885 K
1850. When money did not arrive
from abroad for French soldiers ir
Canada, De Meulle, who was sup
posed to pay the men, decided te
issue money of his own. Since he
did not have a printing press, ne
collected all the packs of cards he
could find and cut them into pieces
Each card was cut into four pieces
and each piece-when duly signed
became a promise to pay as soon as
money arrived from France. This
plan worked so we'll that 1t was tried
again and again in later years.
Many persons in Canada besides the
soldiers and traders made use OF
playing card money.
In Mongolia and Tibet there are
sections where tea money is en-
ployed. Each brick carries an i'm
print which stands for q promise to
pay a certain amount.
When a plague or famine comes
to China, some of the Chinese try
to protect themselves by burning
paper which has been called spirit
money" It is believed by some
Chinese that such action will ward
of the attacks Of demons who are
causing the trouble.

People expect a very young puppy
20 be more or less destructive, and
to chew up rugs and to gnaw the
tees of shoes he can find. He
knows no better.
But if he continues to be destruc-
tive when he has passed beyond
puppyhood, that is quite another
matter. Most well-taught dogs soon
learn to behave. But there are ex-
ceptions. I have owned one OF these
exceptions myself.
Up to the time Pal, one OF my
pointers, was nearly 3 years OF age
long past puppyhood-he delight
ed in taking magazines from the
tables about the house and rending
them into shreds. Then suddenly
Pal ceased to be destructive. He
became a model canine citizen.
Whether my training had at last
taken effect or whether he had out
grown the love OF wanton mischief,
left over from puppyhood, I don't
know. If your dog is destructive /
believe that under normal condi-
tions you will find he will outgrow
these habits as ne emerges from
puppyhood-however, you. too, may
own an exception. Yet I am sure
that in time he, too, will cease to
chew up things around your house.
1t is advisable to keep dog in a
kennel yard, even If the yard be
small, rather than to keep him
chained or tied. But every dog
should be trained to remain quiet
when he is tied up. Often it is nee
essary to fasten him. for a short
time during walk, in hotel, or
while accompanying you on a shop
ping or visiting tour. 1t is a good
idea, therefore, to tie him up at
Evening star., 1948-05-16

home for about 10-minutes each
day, until he sees there is no danger
or discomfort connected with the
process.
Not only is a child happy with
a dog but, the dog belonging to
child Is happier than other CANNES
It has been proved that dogs be-
longing to young people seldom suf-
fer from nervous symptoms or de-
preston as is the case with some
dogs owned by elderly persons. The
dogs Of fussy old people invariably
become bad-tempered, morbidly
passive and melancholy.
A dog has a physical need for
playing and romping. Evidently
they get more of this following
their young masters than they dc
If all their associations are with
older people.
Judging by my mail, it seems
people have been advised to use
either turpentine, gasoline or kero'
sene on their dogs to remove f1eas
or to cure mild skin diseases.
Such treatment causes severe
pain to the animal. After hav-
ing any Of these applied to his skin,
the dog may exhibit all the symp-
toms of a At, running wildly about
the house OF yard, frothing at the
mouth and swapping at objects in
his path. Never, under any Cir
cumstances. use any of these to
cure skin diseases or kill f1eas. 1t
is true that it may kill the fleas but
it might also kill your dog in the
process.
@. What method do you recon-
mend to keep a dog from jumping
up on people?-G. L.
A. When the dog jumps up take
his front feet in your hands and
walk him backwards. After re-
ceiving this treatment four or five
times he should stop jumping up.
@. Do you think rice is a good
thing to feed a dog?-H. K.
A. Personally I never feed my
dogs rice. I have found that it
tends to cause constipation.
