A recent report on crabgrass con-
troll covering tests made by the
Rhode Island Agricultural Expert
ment Station indicate that phenyl
mercuric acetate solution (PMA)
is as good as, or superior to, sodium
arsenate and 24-D. PIMA, which is
now available under trade names,
is effective against crabgrass and a
number of common lawn weeds and,
also controls one common grass
disease.
The report emphasizes. however
that PIMA is most effective on young
crabgrass plants, therefore should
be applied in June and August.
During the first season in badly in
tested lawns, three, four or five ap-
plications may be required to take
care of late terminating crabgrass
seed. Solutions as dilute as l to
1000 and l to 5000 controlled crab
grass and weeds, the latter dilution
producing little discoloration of the
permanent grasses. Approximately
10 gallons of the diluted solution
per 1000 square feet of lawn is the
recommended application. Apply
with a tank Sprayer.
The material is highly poisonous
in concentrated solution but, &C
cording to the report. is not likely
to be harmful to children or pets

solution when sprayed on lawn.

Roadside markets are giving farm
ers greater opportunities OF mar
keting the products Of their fields
and gardens.
Throughout Maryland and Viz
ginia a greater number Of farmers
each year are marketing at least a
part of their production through
roadside stands. The small, family
operated market, according to agri-
culture marketing specialists, pro-
vides an ideal means of handling
some perishable crops.
Many farmers In this area who
have opened wayside markets point
out that this means OF marketing
brings them retail prices for many
of their products. They point out
that the farmer is one of the few
| producers who must buy at retail
and sell wholesale. The home mar
ket Is one means Of getting around
this.
L. Clark Hoge, who operates q
roadside market on route 7, west OF
Leesburg, Va. is an example OF
producer who has geared his entire
output to wayside marketing. Mr.
Hoge owns IS acres, planted to
orchards, small fruits and vege-
tables. His entire production moves
to the consumers through his
market.
Constant Flow Of Produce.
Although his acreage is small, Mr.
Hoge has selected varieties thai
will give him q constant flow OF
fresh products throughout the sea-
son. Already his berry crop has
been marketed; peaches and apple!
are now coming in and will b.
marketed until fall. Vegetables art
displayed as they come In, ane
later grapes will be sold as they
ripen.
Mr.. Hoge explained that uncer.
tain commercial markets causee
him to search for better means O.
disposing Of his fruits. After par
ticularly disastrous year, he opened
his roadside market in 1941. Sine,
then he has crossed considerably
more than when he depended or
commercial marketing channels.
There are many advantages II
marketing my own products" Mr.
Hoge said. First of all, I get tn,

don't mind paying good prices fol

quality.
II am able to grow varieties o.
fruits that are noted for flavor, bu'

mercial markets. This is because
many of these varieties do not keer

A friend of mine, living near the
intersection of two main highways,
owns an Irish setter. At the in
tersection is a set of traffic lights
with a control button on the light
posts for pedestrians to push when
they want to cross. AS the button
is pushed the lights turn red and
yellow bringing the automobile traf-
fic to a stop, allowing the pedes-
TRANS to cross.
Perhaps he watched people push
the button and noticed the results.
or maybe some one taught him
how, for now when he wants to
cross he trots up to the white but
tor, jumps up and pushes it with
his front paws. The lights change
and he crosses without danger.
I received a letter from a city in
upper New York State in which the
writer states that he has a g.
month-old cocker spaniel which has
coughing spells and dry eczema,
His hair is coming out in spots,
and every time he goes into the
cellar the puppy picks up some
pieces of coal and eats them. The
writer then adds that the Cog has
been wormed, and cites a good diet
which the animal Is receiving.
It is my opinion, judging from
the facts, that worms are still caus-
ing the cough, loss of hair and
the eating of coal, Many people
think that If they give their dog
one or two worm capsules he is rid
of worms forever. There are diff
ferent kinds of worms that infest
dog and each requires a different
type of. medicine. Sometimes it is
necessary to administer medicine
twice or three times a week or 10
days apartsto expel all the worms
and eggs.
Even if q dog is thoroughly rid
of worms it is possible for him to be
infested with them again in a
month or two. If you notice any
thing wrong with your dog it would
be advisable, if you suspect worms,
to take sample of his stools to a
veterinarian and allow him to de-
termine the type of worm your dog
has. He can also prescribe the cor
rect kind and proper amount OF
medicine.
Although in the summer dogs
often suffer with a dry itching
skin, investigation might not re-
veal any evidence of irritation or
swelling. This condition is not al
ways serious and I have found that
it can be quickly remedied by rub
bling a little olive oil well in the
skin every other day or>so.

pets suffer with minor skin all

away from many important chores
on my 40 Virginia acres this last
week.
The yearbook, edited by Alfred
Stefferud and published yesterday
by the department., Is on a subject
very important to me, and, Incl
dentally, to every livestock farmer
In its pages I find the answers to
almost every problem that has been
troubling me in turning my weed

future dairy herd.
I would like to recommend this
book highly, and to note here that

there is little difficulty for farmer
to find just what he wants. whether

Life on 10 Acres
Yearbook Interrupts Chores
By jones BirchfieId


I should like, also, to recommend
the chapters on soils prepared by
DR.. Charles E. Kellogg and James
Thorp. A wider knowledge OF soils,
I believe, is going to play more
important part in our future agr1-
culture, and no one is better quail
fled to speak on this important sub
ject than DR.. Kellogg, an interna-
tionally known scientist who heads
the soils survey section of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils and
Agriculture Engineering, and Mr..
Thorp, who, as a member OF this
bureau, has been chief correlator
of soils of the Great Plains.
Mr.. Stefferud this year has in
c4dded a section of IS pages OF
pictures in full color, one of which
does honor to c. T. Rice, who has
done outstanding work as a grass
farmer on his 7S-acre dairy farm
near Oakton, Va. This picture
shows Mr.. Rice's 35-cow herd in one
of his rich, Ladino-Orchard grass
pastures.
These pictures in color, according
to Mr.. Stefferud, cumbersome again
that our land and its beauty and
capacity are something to be cher
ished and cared for"
But to indicate that the yearbook
is entirely for the farmer would
be misleading. For there are chap
tiers dealing with city grass" These
sections include discussions Of park
playground development and road
side Identification. And SO the
book has even wider application.
1 agree with former Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson. who wrote the
books foreword, that:
Grassland agriculture is a good
way to farm and to live, the best
way I know of to use and improve
the soil, the very thing on which
our life and civilization rests"

leaving little time for anything else
but meals and sleep. At the end,
Arthur Bisguier of the Manhattan
Chess Club and Frank Anderson of
Toronto had level point scores Of
80, but the Sonneborg-Berger sys-
tenn of weighing scores enabled
Bisguier to add the National Junior
to the Manhattan title. The new
champion lost no games but drew
four, with Anderson, George Krauss
of the Marshall Chess Club, George
Miller of Cleveland and Kenneth
Smith of Texas Christian Univer-
sity. Anderson drew second time
with Hans Berliner and lost to
James Cross of Glendale, Calf.
Mr.. Cross, who was third with

outcome by losing to Bisguier and
defeating Mr.. Anderson. Hans Ber-

The qualifying tournament of the
International Chess Federation,
which will determine the players
who ultimately will compete for the
worlds championship, has begun
at Stockholm, but neither Isaac
Kashdan, Israel HoroWitz nor Ar
mold Denker is there. The United
States Chess Federation. however
successful in organizing large-scale
contests at home. has signally failed
in maintaining representation in in
ternational events, and America has
slipped from the foremost position
which we were universally conceded
before the war to 10th place or
worse. The Stockholm entry list of
20 is most impressive, apart from
the worlds championship tourney
1t is certainly the strongest event
since Groningen 1916, and it would
be difficult to think of a lineup
which had fewer weak spots.
There are no fewer than seven
Russian masters: I. Bondarevski
I. Boleslavski, D. Bronstein, S. Flohr,
A. Kotov, A. Lilienthal and v. Ra-
gosin. M. Najdorf and G. Stahlberg
from Argentina and d. Yanovsky
of Canada are the European
competitors. DR.. S. Tartakover, who
entered master chess in 1906, is by
long odds the senior of the tourney.
Stoltz and Lundin of Sweden, Szabo
and Lajos Steiner of Hungary, Book
of Finland, Pachmann of Czecho-
slovakia and Pirc. Trifunovic and
Gligoric of Yugoslavia complete this
brilliant array of talent. The out
come will be eagerly awaited by

tablespoons of baking soda in the

A few years ago I gathered fig
ures on the births of a rather large
number OF filters of dogs. I wanted
to compare the ratio of female and
male pups to that of other animals.
Here is what I found:
Out of each 100 puppies whelped
the average ratio was 81 males to
46 females. Now I have some fig
ures from the Gaines Research
Kennels. They analysed Is filters
of 10 different breeds and discov-
cred that out of 1854 pups born 81
were males and only 81 females; a
ratio of is males to ! female.
Similar figures of other animals
show that there are also more male
cattle and swine born than females.
However, there is an excess OF fe-
males over males in horses and
sheep.
Many dogs are already host to
their usual summer fleas. These
parasites are one of the chief car
riers of tapeworm A flea feeds on
tapeworm eggs-the dog swallows
the flea and thus the tape worm
enters the dogs system. The aver
age life of flea is about two
months, although some may live a
year or two. A flea must feed on
the blood of an animal. If an ami
NAL is not around on which the
flea can establish home soon after
Matching, it will die of starvation.

Wool Price Up

The average price received by
farmers for wool in June was 7.8
cents per pound higher than year
earlier, and II cents a pound more
than last April, the Bureau of Agri-

increase in price, the bureau said,
reflects strong demand and short
supply of better qualities of wool.
