Chess Notes
By Donald n. Mueridqe

With the close of the football sea-
son, the Interhigh Chess Association
has begun its annual tournament,
with fve-man teams entered from
Coolidge, Eastern, Roosevelt, Tech
and Wilson. In the first round last
years champions, Wilson, defeated
Eastern by 80. On top board James
Miller of Eastern, who is president
of the association. won from Craw-
ford Young of Wilson, who is its
tournament director. Roosevelt dis
posed of Tech by the score of Al
irving Yalom of Roosevelt besting
Herman Bluestone on first board.

been offered by the Capital Chess
Club, where the matches are held

Divan resulted in a tie between Hans
Berliner and Oscar Shapiro, each of
whom scored 9-3. Close behind were
Jan Galvins with 8-4 and Comdr

Naidel, Mark Kurtz and George s.
Thomas made up the field.
In the Divan Championship the
only game to be completed which
affected the standing of the leaders
was that between Henri P. Reyss
and John r. Rice. Reyss won after
beating back the attack that fol-

to say that when the new moon wa!

you could look for dry weather
And when the moon was at such an

But the moon, somehow, has go'

Dawn comes crisp and cold these
winter mornings. My feet, as I &c
out to milk, make hollow crunching
sounds in the frosted grass, and !
am greeted by a loud chorus from
the guineas and the geese, impa-
tient at the delay in getting their
morning grain.
1t is just q taste Of winter-s
warning Of what is to come. Fol
the water is not yet frozen thick in
the troughs and needs only buck
etful from the well to thaw it out
There is warmth in the stable
where the cows have been during
the night and milking becomes
pleasant as the blood begins to flow
again in fingers numbed by the
frosted handle of the pitchfork.
Winter on the farm ds a time OF
suspended activity-a time of feed
ing and bedding and planning the
summer schedule. And yet it has
its own particular pleasures. For ]

than to sit by the fire after evening
chores feeling that all is well-that
the stock are fed and bedded and
closed against the night chill.

There is still time to gather weeds,
grasses and berries for winter bou-
quets. And, while you are about 1t,
look for evergreens and berries for
the Christmas wreaths. Trimmings
from evergreens and few prunings
from the holly trees will provide at
tractive wreaths with very little
work.
Heavy winter SHOWS can and often
do injure evergreens. The heavy
flakes pile high on the branches.
oftentimes bending them to the
ground, sometimes producing de-
structive splitting. A broom or a
piece of light brush may be used
safely to dislodge the snow. An
other precautioon that we may take
is to wrap (tie) the evergreens with
soft twine. This will prevent the
bending and reduce the danger of
splitting. w. H. Y.

Fulton Want, whose small farm
sits like an emerald in the deep
red soil of Loudoun County, Va, is
showing what city family can do
with so acres of good earth.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Want. their
two sons, Fulton, jr., and Elliotte,
and their daughter Dorothy moved
out to Loudoun just a year ago.
their farm on Route 7, near Broad
Run, was in a sorry state.
True, the house, an old farm
dwelling that had grown through
many additions, was charming, and
the outbuildings were good. But
the fields had slipped back In fer
tility and were shaggy with a four
year growth of brambles and sassa-
fras.
But gradually a rich, green carpet
has spread over this grayness. AL
falfa is taking hold in one back
field, and in others small grains
are nursing stands of bronze grass
and clovers.

This job of reclamation, although
slow and hard, has been a pleasant
one for the Wants. Mr. Want is
employed by the Agriculture De-
partment, but is no agronomist. He
is learning how to farm the hard
way-by trial and error.

Winter pruning Of wisterias Is
normally confined to the removal
of suckers and the shortening OF
long shoots. Summer pruning
after the Towering period Is recon-
mended as it stimulates the forma-
ton Of flower buds. Overpruning at
any one time, however, is to be
avoided since it encourages suckers
and long shoots. Regular pruning
is more likely to produce q better
balanced growth.
Living Christmas trees seem de-
sirable but have some problems. Il
the tree is small and the roots were
not severely mutilated in Tubing,
1t may be planted out Of doors as
soon as the Christmas season Is
over, unless the ground is frozen
A burlap screen should be placed
around the tree to protect it from
sun and wind.
If the tree has had its root sys-
tenn severely reduced in order to fit
it into the tub, 1t should be kept In
the tub in a COOL sheltered situa-
ton until spring, watering as needed
to keep it alive.

Corn Storage Costs

G. Rolfe farm, near Poolesville
Montgomery County, by the State
Production and Marketing Admins
tration, in cooperation with the
Commodity Credit Corp.
Joseph H. Blandford, State PIMA
chairman. said plans call for the
construction of a storage house for
ear corn. the installation of dryer
and shelter, with conveyors rigged to
move ear corn to the shelter, and
shelled corn to other storage bins.
Mr.. Blandford said ear corn first
will be dried, then shelled and the
shelled corn moved to storage bins
Costs of each operation will be
charted carefully.
Purpose of the experiment, Mr..
Blandford said, is to develop a prac-
tical method of storing and drying
corn so that farmers will not be
forced to sell at harvest time when
prices may be held down by a glut-
ted market.

Dog Notes
By Peter Boegs

There is an old saying: IF you
want to buy house, take a year to
look for it, In a much modified
way, the same thing applies to buys
ing dog.
Take your time. First decide what
breed you desire. Different breeds
are capable of doing different things
Once that has been decided upon.
look around from kennel to kennel
or shop to shop before making your
purchase.
I have always been against putting
sweaters and blankets on dogs ex-
|cept in the case of illness. If you
keep your dog moving briskly all the
time he is out of doors, and if you
keep him away from the fireplace or
the radiator while he is in the
house, I doubt if he will catch cold
or be any the worse for your failure
to pile blankets or woolen sweaters
upon him.
I have tested this theory with
pointers and have short-haired dogs.
and they have remained in splen-
didly rugged health throughout the
ice months.
With the possible exception of the
small toy breeds, city dogs should be
taken out at least four times daily
the first thing in the morning, at
noon, at S or 6 in the afternoon and
in the evening just before retiring.
Not just up the block and back each
time. Try, if possible, on one Of
these trips to take the dog to a park
or vacant lot where he can romp
and play. Regular and systematic
exercise will help keep your dog in
the best of health. Many minor all
ments are caused by the lack OF
proper exercise.
@. After bathing a dog, is it nec-
essary to dry him thoroughly? Or
will he take care of himself natu-
Irally?-B. L. D.
A. I advise drying a dog thor
oughly whenever possible. 1t lessons
his chances of catching a cold that
might develop into serious illness.
@. When do pups stop chewing
up things? have a terrier 3 months
old and he tears everything up?-
H. B.
A. AS soon as the pup gets his
permanent teeth you should find
that this annoying habit will cease
to a great extent.
