Orchards Require
Good Cover Crop.
Throughout April

MANY fruit growers are unde-
.;ded this spring as to the type
If cover crop to start, w. A. Luce,
Associate Extension Agent in Yak
ina County, said today. They
licked up whatever cover crop
thew had last fall to help stop
the mouse infestation and now
find themselves this spring with
ont much choice of what to plant.
Those using sprinkler irrigation
will find it necessary to estab-
lish a cover crop Immediately to
avoid excessive packing of the
aro,,nd during the first irrigation
or two. Weeds do not give SUI
ficient ground protection.
Toxic Soils
The older apple and pear or
chards of the valley are handl-
capped in the selection OF cover
crop due to the arsenic toxieity
in the soil. The more favored
leeume covers such as alfalfa and
sweet clover start very poorly IN
such soil. This limits the, grower
to the use of some of the non
legumes such as rye, winter wheat
oats and barley. Many of these
non-legume crops are better as
fall-sown covers and do not give
as heavy volume of organic
material when planted in the
sspring. Some of the clovers, Luce
Kid. such as White Dutch and
Ladino, are quite favorable for
spring planting and do fairly
well in toxic soils. They have a
tendency to smother out in Win
ter and have not been found too
satisfactory for orchard use. The
sod covers-blue grass, red top
or other sod-forning grasses,
have never been popular but will
undoubtedly be used more and
more in the future. Perhaps when
the mouse infestation clears up
many growers will be more in
favor of using such a permanent
sod clover. ~.

Market Outlook
Continued From Page 21)

1947, SO that rather large imports
will be needed.
HAY markets probably will re-
main fairly steady for the next few
weeks on the new crop basis. Early
cuttings were generally good in
quantity and quality. The June 1
condition of all hay growing was
about the same as last year and the
alfalfa is going into dehydrated and
suncured meal, although this outlet
probably takes only 8 or 4 percent
of the crop. The condition of pas
lures on July l was 81 percent of
normal but equal to the 10-year
average.
DAIRY PRODUCT prices prob
ably will be steady to higher through
late summer and fall. Production is
passing the yearly peak. 1t is the
smallest at this season since 1941 and
production per person is the lowest
in many years. Fluid milk and cream
consumption has been somewhat dis
appointing but supplies of manufac-
turing milk have been short. De-
mand for butter and cheese for stor-
age has been active.
POTATO prices probably will de-
cline during the summer as COM
mercia1 supplies increase and home
grown potatoes become more plen-
tiful. Government buying will con-
tinue but the support prices decline
from June to August. The late
spring crop is estimated at about IL
percent over last year and 40 per-
cent above average while the sum-
mer crop is about the same as last
year but Is percent above average.

is web 10 pick out the diseased
birds and either kill them or put
them by themselves.
No one has succeeded in getting
any results from medical treatment.
Furthermore, we haven't any reli-
able method of prevention. The
hatchery that shipped the chicks
didn't know that any of them were
infected, more than likely the grow
ers that sold the eggs to the hatchery
knew nothing of it, aside from the
loss of a hen or two now and then.
So, you al see, the disease is a very
hard one to handle.
Mortality Light but Expensive
Fortunately, leukosis does not
a very heavy mortality, but
this mortality is expensive, because
in most cases the pullets affected are
nearly ready to lay or have been lay
ing for a month or so. The birds
that die are high-priced birds; they
haven't made a cent for the owner
and have quite a lot invested in
them in feed and brooding, etc. The
loss of a baby chick means little
more than the original cost of the
chick, but the loss of a good pullet
runs into money.
Leukosis is widely distributed, a
common disease, and is one of the
auses of loss that make up the Is
percent mortality that every poultry
grower must expect, a loss that is
unavoidable and must be charged to
his operating expense.

Fowl Paralysis, a Disease
Difficult to Control
BY DIR. HOWARD WEIGH

REMINDING US that summer is
here, cases of fowl paralysis Qeu-
kosis) are beginning to show up at
the laboratory. This disease is found
mostly in early Matched chicks,
about 8 months old. 1t more often
occurs in July and August than in
June.
Symptoms are varied, but in the
young birds the disease produces a
definite paralysis of one OF both
legs, a leg and a wing or some such
combination. The birds become
helpless, rapidly lose weight, may
live a week or two, but all of them
die sooner or later.
In elder birds, after Christmas, the
disease may produce gray or white
eyes, tremendously enlarged livers,
internal tumors or varied form of
paralysis. 1t is a disease with so
many angles and aspects that often
four or five dead birds have to be
examined before a diagnosis can be
made.
There is no laboratory test, no def
mite symptom nor a definite post
mortem finding. We have to make a
diagnosis from a study of the flock,
from the symptoms of several birds

Constitution Hall. where Wash
ingtonians hear some of the worlds
greatest artists, was the scene yes
terday Of less pretentious concert
but Of one that excited no less in
terest. Last night marked the first
appearance in that hall of the Boys
Club Band and of six contestants
who won first and second places over
220 aspirants in recent competi-
ton for instrumentalists sponsored
by the Boys Club of Washington.
Before introducing each of the
winners, Richard Bales, chairman
of the committee and master Of
ceremonies, thanked the audience for
its interest and made a few COM
ments about the fine work performed
by the group and its leaders. The
credit for organization went to An
thony E. Mascara, director of clubs
and classes of the Eastern Branch
of the Boys Club, whose untiring
efforts brought such astonishing re-
suits.
The program opened with a
spirited performance Of Josey's
Gloria March," played by As boys
between the ages of 10 and 16. The
ensemble was led by Andrew G. Bod
mar, member of the Marine Band
until his retirement from service.
Within the past six years. the boys
gave some lis summer concerts in
various sections of Washington un-
der his competent and inspired di-
rection. Three years ago Mr.. Bod
mar organized a Junior band, merg-
ing that and the senior group for
the concert last night.
The twelve selections on the pro-
gram, taken from the repertoire
Of leading service bands, were de-
signed to give full play to each Of
the instrumental sections. 1t was
pleasure to see such well-dis-
ciplined body, of a military bearing,
so serious about its work and so pro-
ficient. The delivery showed ad-
vanced musicianship, stability of

tone, splendid rhythm and youthful
enthusiasm.
One of the star soloists was
Michael Ponti, the 10-year- -old win
ner of the second prize in the jun
ior department. He was the first
to show his unusual aptitude for
the piano in Bach's prelude and
Fugue" and Toch's THE Juggler."
A small boy, whose legs are hardly
long enough to reach the pedals, he
played with a velocity and an as
surance beyond his years. The bril-
liant glissando at the end of The
Juggler" brought him an ovation.
The sweet tone drawn from
small-size violin and the purity of
pitch as displayed in the "Medita-
tion" from Massenet's ''Thais" by
Richard Brewer, aged IL, spoke of
fine ear and musical feeling.
Richard won first place in the Junior
department contest. The hrst prize
winner in the intermediate depart
ment was IA year : old Robert
T. Hilker, who manifested also an
innate appreciation Of music in his
performance Of Chopin's Fantasy
Impromptu." The other winner in
this category, Danny Steinberg, 13,
played with broad, resonant tone
the first movement of Nardini's
Concerto in E minor" accom-
panied by his sister. The two made
an attractive team.
Top honors among the seniors
went to Patricia Griffin, pianist,
heard in Chopin's "Polonaise in A
fiat Major" and Peter Van Allen,
who performed the first movement
from Richard Strauss Concerto
for French Horn" AS there was a
tie for the first place between the
two, identical honors went to both.
Miss Griffin played this season with
the Washington Civic Symphony as
soloist. She was in excellent form
last night and her delivery spoke
of poise and experience. Mr.. Van

GREEN EXPLAINS TIL
TO BALL COMMITTEE

The AFL sent QUESTIONABLE to
ITO key union people thruout the
country. Replies demonstrate that
Taft Hartley has almost robbed
the NLRB of its usefulness to or
ganized labor, by slowing up its
work and by establishing wide
areas of employer-initiated com
plants.
In many organizing situations,
the AFL survey shows, "thru en-
ployer stalling and the slow process
of board procedure, the employees
are bound to lose interest in the
union"
'In addition, NLRB personnel in
the field offices seem to be adopt
ing a new attitude towards union
charges of unfair labor practices"
Board officials are forcing union
agents to do the sort of investiga-
tory work which is properly the
governments responsibility, and
dismissing union petitions that do
not meet all the niceties, he said
The boards Interpretation of the
employers free speech section OF
Taft Hartley "has been turned in
to one of the most vicious and dla-
bolical instruments ever placed al
the disposal of anti-union employ
ers." One case discussed by the
AFL shows how an employer con-
verted an So per cent pro-unlon
group into a majority non-union
outfit.
Summing up, the AFL said: III
effect, the act has provided anti
union employers with new weapons
which they have not been reluctant
to utilize. The act furnishes en-
ployers with convenient excuses tc
delay collective bargaining nego'
tiations and to object to proposals
to which they would otherwise
agree. By turning the balance OF
bargaining strength in favor OF
employers, the act stlttened EN-
ployer resistance to the granting Of
third-round wage increases.
"The total effect of the Taft
Hartley law on union-managemen'
relations can be summarized as one
of Illustration. The law has glvel
a new weapon to the enemies o.
labor, a weapon with which they
are able to Illustrate the desire o.
through unions. While many fair
minded employers have continued
employees for representation
to deal frankly and honestly will

law has Disseminated against then

Labor Raises

Lake Success, N. Y. (LPA) -
Two of the Scandinavian countries,
with leadership from their labor
movements, have shown how much
money can be raised for the United
Nations Appeal for Children.
In Sweden, under the direction
of Neils Goude, official of the Gen
eral Trade Union Confederation,
the entire country was organized
and a total of S2,226, 400 was rails
ed for the UN's program to feed
starving youngsters in Europe and
Asia. To date, this is the largest
sum reported by any European
country.
The Norwegian Federation OF
Labor, UN officials here report,
