HOLLYW WOOD - Edgar
Buchanan expects to complete
his biography of Ulysses S.
Grant early in 1948 as a possible
starring vehicle for himself, the
veteran actor said last week on
the set of Columbia's Best Man
Wins in which he is co-featured
with Anna Lee.
Buchanan, who has collected
Grants memoirs and other hiss
torical data for a decade, has
been writing the book for the
last two years. The Civil War
general and one time United
States president, says Buchanan,
is "the one character I'd really
like to portray.

Labelling of Seeds
REQUIRED by Law

A survey made by the Agricul-
ture Department in 1874 stores here
in March year ago indicated
many dealers were selling lawn
and vegetable seed not properly Ia
beled. The 1899 law requires that
the label on lawn seed must show
the per cent of purity, the amount
of noXious weed seeds and the per
cent Of termination. Vegetable and
lawn seeds must have been tested
for termination within six months
prior to date of sale. Some deal
ers in 1947 were selling seed car
ried over from the previous season.
Others were selling from open con-
tainers without labelling the retail
packages as required by law. Some
dealers were selling vegetable seeds
which failed to meet the germina-
ton standards of the law. Vege-
table seeds which are below stand
ard in termination may be sold
only when so labeled.

The magazines and newspapers,
like the horticulturists, describe the
cultivated greens-chard, spinach,
collards, etc.-in great detail. We
might assume that these are the
only greens available. However,
there are green's growing along the
roadside and in the fields, perhaps
in your own yard that are as useful
as these cultivated crops.
In Europe quantities of purslane
and dockweed are used for green's.
Several of our seed catalogs list
the cultivated varieties of dande-
lions, chicory and cress. Just be-
cause we have come to look upon
these plants as weeds there is no
reason for assuming that they do
not have a use.
In harvesting the wild greens we
should handle them~as we would
other vegetables. Cut at a tender
stage and cook them before they
wilt and deteriorate. We would not
care to buy wilted spinach or over
ripe f1brous kale. Neither should
we attempt to use greens that have
."gone by
Dandelions Before Buds.
There are a considerable number
OF native green's of which the fol-
lowing are more likely to be found
listed In your cook books and
herbals. Dandelion should be har-
vested before the buds appear, other
wise it Is rather strong favored. In
harvesting cut the tap root Just
below the crown and lift the whole
plant. Trim the outer leaves, which
are the older, and discard the crown.
Pokeweed or inkberry is COM
mon green that Is usually treated
more like asparagus than like greens.
The young shoots are cut when 4 to
6 inches high. Avoid cutting the
crown. Cook as you would prepare
asparagus. There should be little
difficulty in finding an ample sup
ply of the tender young shoots. This
green is frequently sold on local
markets.
Water cress can be called a wild
green or a cultivated one, depend
ing upon whether or not the crop

sorting had paid the high diH-
|dends.
The crop sold last year and grown
in 1916 amounted to 1900, 200
pounds, and Mr.. Posey pointed out
that it has been called everything
from poor to excellent. Without
official grades, he said, no one
actually knows the quality of the
crop.
The crop that will be sold this
year was produced in 1947, and
is estimated to be about 8,400 900
pounds. The 1947 crop, although
nearly 100000 pounds under the
previous year. still is much higher
than the average of 28,499 600
pounds produced during the 1o-year
period from 1896 to l945.
Oficials now estimate that nor.
NAL tobacco production for Mary
land should be around 10000, 600
pounds year. The goal this year
calls for $4,000 acres, II per cent
reduction.

Tobacco Men Study u. S. Service
Meetings Indicate Growers Will Ask
Grading for Southern Maryland
By jones BirehfieId

Southern Maryland farmers, under
the leadership Of Walter B. Posey,
University Of Maryland tobacco spe-
cialist, are taking q realistic ap-
proach this year to the production
of Maryland Type 80 tobacco.
Sentiment expressed at meetings
held last week in three areas indi-
cate the growers will request Fed
eral grading service this year, and
q bill Is now pending to change the
parity base for Maryland tobacco SO
as to give growers an average sup
port price Of about 81 cents pound
Observers predict that Maryland
growers will request a vote on the
grading service, and that the bal
loting will be heavily in favor Of the
service. The vote must be taken
by the first part of April If the
service is to be inaugurated by the
opening Of the auction markets this
spring.
View Is Complete Reversal.
The present sentiment in favor Of
Federal grading is an about face
from the attitude of the majority in
the past. An independent group.
Maryland tobacco men long looked
on q grading service as an infringe
ment OF their liberties.
Growers, explaining their changed
attitude, say it is no longer possible
for Maryland farmers to stand alone.
All other tobacco-producing areas
now operate under a grading and
support program.
While it may be doubtful II the
parity program will be revised In
time to assist growers this year, the
Inauguration of the grading service
would place growers in a position to
accept support program as soon as
parity revisions are made.
Mr.. Posey has emphasized that
the service would give Maryland
growers names for their tobacco
that would accurately describe the
crops quality factors" This would
enable them to identify the exact
quality and value Of the tobacco
they offer for sale, and prevent any
arbitrary lowering of the grade Of
any lot of tobacco. However, Fed
eral grading would not relieve the
grower of the necessity of prop
erly stripping and sorting" his to-
bacco at the barn.
Chance for Speculation.
A basket of tobacco that has been
Improperly sorted and packed usual
ly sells for the price being paid
for the lowest grade in the basket.
Tobacco men say they have seen
spectators at auction warehouses
make as much as $50 on two bas-
kets of tobacco which they bought,
regarded and resold.
It is the opinion of some grow
ers that a major cause Of last
years unsatisfactory tobacco prices
was improper sorting and grading
at the barn. One grower, whose
crop averaged about 81 cents a
pound last year, said the care that
his men used in stripping and

Each and every one Of those
questions is manswerable. The

of small dog it should be.

Onion sets are one Of the first
things to go into the ground. The
sets, white and yellow, may be used
to produce scallions or bulbs. Bulbs
produced from sets are better
keepers than those produced from
plants which will soon be available
from local stores. However, the
plants, Bermuda and Sweet Spanish,
may be used for the production of
bulbs to be consumed during the
summer and early fall.
Onion sets should be barely
covered when planting for bulbs,
for scallions they may be set an
inch deeper. yellow sets produce
better keeping bulbs than do the
white sets.
Onions do best in a sweet soil,
one that has had lime ground
limestone) or wood ashes worked
into the row. Space the sets
2 inches apart for scallions; 4
inches for bulbs. Or, if you wish
both, space the sets 2-inches apart
and pull every other one for green
onions.
The annual cleaning up of leaves
and trash can begin at any time.
In raking the leaves from bulb and
perennial beds it is well to rake
lightly. Tender new shoots are
easily broken off, also, the pale
yellow leaves should not be brought
into bright sunshine too quickly.
Where the leaves Of bulbs and
perennials are yellow it is desirable
to remove the major portion of the
winter cover, waiting for a cloudy
day to complete the job.

Thin the canes of the Shiny
Leaved" hydrangea, but do not
shorten since the tip bud is the
flower bud. To remove it is to
prevent Towering. The only prun-
ing these blue Powered tender
shrubs need, Is to remove the
smaller, weaker canes and to reduce
the number of large canes to avoid
over-crowding.
If the flowers of the Shiny
Leaved hydrangea are not a clear
deep blue the addition of flowers
of-sulphur will help to make the
soil more acid-a condition neces-
sary for the blue color. If pink
flowers are desired, add ground
limestone to sweeten the soil.
Fill the holes in the lawn with
