Irwin Pridgeon, head of the photo
graphic department of The Star
last Monday picked two dozen roses
large pink specimens, from his gar
den at 6l47 Thirtieth street NV
Mr.. Pridgeon said that many per-
sons are collecting roses later this
year than usual; that in his garden
the late bloomers were better than
those grown earlier due to the dam
age done by the Japanese beetle.

Radioactive Tests

Experiments conducted this year
with 18 crops in IA States have in
dicated yields will not be increased
by use of certain low-level radio
active materials. The research was
conducted at the request of the
Atomic Energy Commission. Agri-
culture Department scientists said
the materials used consisted of a
commercial radioactive product and
radium. They cautioned against
confusing these tests with the use
of radioactive isotopes as tracers in
the study of soils, fertilizers and
the nutrition of plants.

Farm Net to Believer

Farmers cash receipts are ex-
pected to total slightly more this
year, but higher costs are expected
to keep net earnings below last
years levels.
The Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics said receipts during the last
few months have been below a year
earlier, but not enough to upset
former gains. Cash receipts from
meat animals will be up slightly
while receipts from dairy products
will be about 10 per cent higher
than last wear.

In the past, I have recommended
the feeding Of fish to dog once a
week. Liver is another item that
should be included occasionally in
q dogs diet. Before dwelling on
the virtues Of liver, l would like to
return to the fish item for a
moment. Canned salmon and other
canned cat foods, made from fish,
will take care of the fish basis for
your dogs diet.
Liver is particularly rich in vita
min B-1 (aneurin) and vitamin G
(ribofavin), and Is considered the
richest of all tissues in vitamin A.
Though liver is good item to feed
any dog, there are many that will
not eat raw liver, 50 for this and
other reasons, advise that you boil
the liver and cut 1t into strips before
feeding.
Vary your dogs diet from time
to time. He will appreciate this
thoughtfulness. While on this sub
iect of feeding, remember to add a
pinch or two Of salt to your dog S
food once q week.
There is belief among novice dog
owners that all puppies sooner or
later must go through an attack of
distemper. This is not true. The
average puppy never gets distemper,
yet it is the worst scourge of dog
dom. I have known kennels to be
swept by distemper and hideous
epidemics of it have scourged whole
neighborhoods.
My observation, backed by reli-
able veterinarians of my acquain-
tance, is that when a pure-bred dog
falls ill from distemper. his chances
for recovery are $3.50 at most
In some virulent epidemics, the per-
centage of fatalities is much higher
Cross-bred dogs or mongrels get
distemper, too. But almost never
does one of them die from it. Why
I have never been able to under
stand.

Masonic Fined
For Violating
Pollution Laws

The Masonite Corporation at
Laurel, Miss, was fined $500 this
week in a justice of the peace
court at Laurel for violation of
the state pollution laws in con-
nection with the killing Of fish
in Leaf river on August 3, a and
5, according to the state Game
and Fish Commission.
During the course of the three
day period fish were killed as far
down the Leaf river as McLain,
attaches of the commission office
stated.
The killing occurred because of
a large accumulation of Mason
lite effluent in Tallahala creek
during a low water period. A
heavy rain in the Tallahala wa
tershed flushed this accumula-
ton out, while at the same time
the Masonite Corporation stepped
up its discharge of the effluent
in anticipation of the high water.
The Leaf river watershed,
however, had no rain during the
period and as a result the slug
of effluent was not sufficiently
diluted when ii entered the Leaf.
Fish were killed as the effluent
travelled down the river, and the
wood sugars it contained alb
sorbed the oxygen from the
water.
The Masonite flow charts
showed that during the period
of the heavy rain on Tallahalla
creek the rate of discharge of eff
fluent into the creek was stepped
up from IN average of about $50
gallons a minute to 1,475 gallons
a minute for a five-hour period.
This was then reduced to LOO
gallons a minute for the remain
der of a three-day period. More
than 100000 gallons of efflu-
ent was discharged into the creek
during the three-day period, in
addition to the effluent which
was already there through accu-
mutation.
