Pre.emergence Spray
Boosts Corn Yield

DR.. Henry Hopp, scientist with
the Soil Conservation Service. who
has farm near Frederick, Md. re-
ports that a combination of ridge
row corn paintings and pre-
emergence q 4-D spray had resulted
in yield of 70 bushels per acre on
his hilly land. This is about 81
bushels per acre more than the
average Maryland corn yield.
DR.. Hopp said postemergencs
sprays for corn had been unsuccess-
full. Spraying after the corn was
up killed broad-leafed weeds, but
gave crab grass a greater opportun-
ity to grow.
An article on Dr. Hopp's plan was
printed in The Star last spring.

Our first jolt was finding dead
black snake on our only table.
Then suddenly we all missed the
sun. Woody" took US down to the
river, where we could see that we
were going to have a bad storm.
Thunder could be heard in the dis
tance.
Woody said we should 60 back to
Camp Flather. but we protested and
talked her into letting us stay at
Pioneer. One girl suggested that
we get firewood while 1t was still
dry, so we scurried about.
The storm broke. We were stuck
with our baggage on one side OF
the river and the camp on the
other. We formed a brigade, but
after five blanket rolls had come
across, Del gave up until the storm
was over. Three girls had to sleep
in wet beds that night. We hud-
died in one shelter until the storm
was over. l was in shorts, because
I had slipped and sat down in the

Slip. by Phoebe Erickson (Chil

four red foxes who had a knack
for getting into more trouble and
learning less than any of the others.
He bounds from one adventure. to

The White Leopard. by Inglis
Fletcher (Bobbs- Merrill; $2.75.-
Stephen Murdoch finds himself
alone in Mobililand, a province in
the lake region of Central Africa,
surrounded by the alien people he
has been sent to govern. The young
commissioner is the only English
man in this savage country, and he
hears the sound of native drums
omniously sounding his arrival. He
tramps the untracked bush, kills
wild animals, outwits Arab slave
traders and fights the power of
magic. The natives learn to call
him "the Leopard" a title based
on their fear and grudging admira-
tion. Good reading for those who
like fast-moving adventure and
suspense.

Bobby has been in a bad humor
He can smile through all sorts OF
trouble. and his gayety is con-
tagious-even to those with a very
sour nature. He has a great con-
Germ for the welfare of the rest OF
the family. and if any of us are
sick does his best to make us well
and happy.
He is happiest when we are all
together, and if he has to stay home
alone he makes certain that we are
aware of his displeasure. BY the
time we return, however, he has
long forgotten his grievance and
greets us like long-lost brother
If the circumstances are thus and
he is in the house, Bobby takes over

his head and watching his attempts
to dislodge it is eXcruciatingly
funny. Speaking of flowers, ]
might mention that Bobby has a
olissful disregard for all forms OF
fora. He gallops gaily through the
pansies, zinnias and all other plants
that happen to be in his path.
Although he is the life of every
party, he seldom speaks-and then
We have to ask him. But he is q
great performer and loves an audi
ence
Bobby is q large eater, and al
though he never eats with us, he
gets plenty of food. He can smell
chocolate a mile of, and the min
ute some is opened he is right there
playing on our sympathies. Oh, he
never says anything, but he can
get anything he wants by turning
on that "Give-me- some or-I'll-die
look, and he knows it, too.
All in all, there is never dull
moment when Bobby is home
whether he is under our feet in
the kitchen, waiting eagerly at the
door for Daddy or offering his ball
for play.

lust Between
Yourselves
BY Philip n. Love.

I'm glad Jane Owen wrote about
her dog Bobby Gin adjoining col
+umn). not only because her article
is interesting, but because it gives
me a fairly good excuse to talk
about Butch.
Butch, in case you're a stranger
to Just Between Ourselves" Is a
police puppy who grew up to be a
detective-or, to put it another way
a police dog in disguise. He's only
about tWo-thirds the size of the
standard police dog, but he's every
bit as efficient in dealing with tres
passers. I've been told he's a Bel
gian police dog, more concentrated
type than the German. but he could
be Austrian. Hungarian, Romanian
or even Pakistanian, for all the
proof have. All know is that he
was sold to me by pet shop, which
said he was police puppy from
Wisconsin" I guess that gives him
a slight German accent, at least.
But whatever his breed, he's far
and away the best dog I've ever
owned-the brightest, cleanest. most
devoted and most policelike, in the
best sense of that word.
X
We bought Butch because our
house was broken into and robbed
and we didn't want it to happen
again. That was about five years
ago, and two subsequent attempts to
break into our home have been
thwarted by our private police force
Each time, we knew only that Butch
had barked and groWled during the
night. But next day we found tell
tale Jimmy or screwdriver marks on
windows and doors.
Recently, my wife let Butch out
without knowing an electric meter
reader was in the yard. The man
would have left in his shorts if Butch
hadn't been assured, Hes all right"
Our house has winding stairway
with a window on the turn. When
we go out, Butch goes to the window
to see us of. When we return, no
matter how many hours later, he's
lying beside the window, watching
for us-and, of course, for any one
else who may approach the front
door.
Every morning, when We start
breakfast, Butch begs for dog bis
cult. Before he'll eat it, however,
he insists that we play a game in
which I try to take it away from
him. and he tries to keep it. Some
mornings, don't feel like playing
but he sits beside my chair and
keeps slapping my leg with his paw
until I give in.
When I come home from work
he rolls out his rubber ball and nags
me until I play another game of
"try-to-get-it." I've tried hiding
the ball in the morning while hes
preoccupied with his biscuit, but he
always finds it in time to poster me
with it just before dinner.
Every night at II o'clock, I let
him run while I sit on the front
stoop. don't know how far he
goes, but after what I consider a
reasonable time, whistle a certain
way and he comes arunning. Dur
ing my recent disqualification, he
refused to go out at night because
l wasn't there to accompany him,
Now. if don't stop reading, listen
ing to the radio, or whatever else I
may be doing when II o'clock comes,
he goes on sitdown strike when
other members Of the family try to
get him to go out. Until I get
around to seeing him as far as the
stoop. he refuses to bulge.
I understand how Jane feels about
Bobby. I feel the same way about
Butch-if not more so

"As the representatives of the Dis

For II years this orchestra has

Now that the future of the Ma

that the residents of the District OF
