stage will result in little increase in
yield but will facilitate combining
and cut dockage.
The danger periods, then, for
treating are only while the micro
scopic head is forming, again when it
first pokes its boards out of the
sheaf and when the plant is blossom
ing. The last two stages are easy to
identify but the first is more diff
cult. Krall emphasizes that it isn't
possible to pick a plant stage by
inches of growth. In many cases the
wheat can be well in the boot stage,
for example, but still SO short it APP
pears to be in an earlier stage.
The way to pick stage I'D" in the
photos (the first point in the boot
stage when spraying is likely to be
safe) is to peel back the leaves and
look down at the stem of a plant. If
the head is complete inside the stem,
a decided elongation will be appar-
ent between the crown and the first
joint.
The first joint is shown at the
bottom of the sketch of the wheat
plant that accompanies this story.
This sketch shows the head fully
formed although microscopic in size
and corresponds to sd" in the stage
of-growth photo series. When this
stage is reached, it is KralI's theory
that the wheat can be sprayed any
time from this point until the head
starts to emerge from the sheaf.
During this period he feels the head
will develop normally once the cell
brick work is properly laid.
Danger in Early Stages
On the other hand, during the
head forming stages "a, B and c in
photo), the head is not completely
formed and is subject to deforma-
ton or even sterility. To obtain more
information on this subject, Krall
has sprayed a series of test plots
every three days or as the weather
permitted. His findings should show
perhaps three or four days during
the entire development of the wheat
plant when real reductions may be
expected.
Krall suggests that perhaps farm
ers are getting too excited about
this damage problem and forgetting
the damage of the weeds. "This
2,4-D is the greatest thing yet for
weed control" he said, land I be-
lieve that its application should be-
come a regular farm operation just
as blowing, seeding and harvesting"
Field Treated in Afternoon
But to get back to our original
story-Miller decided to spray just
as soon as possible. The fields were
still too wet to enter with his ground
rig so he called on a spray plane
operator. Before the afternoon was
over, the 200 acres of weed-infested
wheat had been sprayed. The plane
was flown in during a hull in the
transforms that were hitting the
area. The first 100 acres were in
one field and were sprayed in about
20 minutes of actual flying time
over the fields. The chemical tank
in the plane held 100 gallons, which
was just enough to do the field al

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Because 1 have always been known
as a strong booster of the club, l am
constantly getting the $64 question
thrown at me: what is the matter
with the Owls?" Of course, l could
dodge the question by coming back
with another one of my own: what
is wrong with the Boston Red SoX,
who on Sunday lost their eighth
straight gamer But let's be serious
a minute.
AS 1 see it, "There are three things
the matter with the Owls Club at
the present time. ID There is very
definite weakness in the pitching
staff; (2) the line up of the club is
shifted around almost every game,
and that doesn't make for a win
ming club; and 90 the team looks
and acts on the field as if they are
just playing out the string. And
perhaps the third reason is most
important of all.
For even with a weak pitching
staff, some games can be won by the
rest of the team playing heads-up
baseball, but you can't win ball
games Cor for that matter anything
else) unless you're in there trying
every minute. OF course, l quite
appreciate that some of the players
are dissatisfied at being on tail-end
club, but baseballs like any other
business. If you want to climb you
have got to put out whether you're
the office boy or the general manager.
And if there's a baseball scout sitting
in the stands or the press box (and
they certainly have been here) they
are not concerned whether the teams
on top or in TIE cellar - they are
concerned solely with the ability
of the players themselves.
I'm still a booster of the Owls,
despite the bad ball they have been
playing lately, and 1 sincerely hope
they will snap out of it and show
the fans that they are capable of
much better ball than their present
standing shows

FRIDAY, July y

The bad luck that has logged the
Owls for the past 10 or II games

But the Owls were not through

Thursday, June 800

Although the Owls played their
best ball in over month, they
lost the third and final game of the
Allentown series on Thursday night
by score of GA. Hagerstown
played errorless ball and should
have won the game, but unfortun-
ately Dickinson who went all the
way, weakened in the late innings.
Bob Hyatt, the young left hand
er from Colgate University, in max
ing his first start in organized base
bali, was the Cards starting pitch
er, and although he was taken out
in the seventh inning when he
walked the first two men to face
him, he got credit for the win. Bob
Hoch, also left handler, relieved
him and put out the fire.
i, The Owls took a one-run lead in
the second frame. Heinbaugh, the
first man up, beat out hit to short
and went to second while Roatche
was being thrown out at first, from
where he scred on Hixson's single
to center.
In the top half of the third, AL
lentown went ahead 81. Hyatt,
the first man up, beat out hit to
short, and Sturm got base on balls.
Zernia. was up next, and he doubled
to center, scoring Hyatt and Sturm,
but he was thrown out when he
tried to go to third on the throw
in. Wescott followed with a triple
to left, but he died there when Ciaf-
fone flied to center and Hercinger
went out third to first.
The Owls came right back in the
bottom half, however, to also score
two runs and again go in front 30.
With one away, Chaser singled to
right, but Kelly forced him at sec
ond for the second out. Keller then
grounded to Lands who booted the
ball, and both runners were safe on
the error, Heinbaugh then stepped
to the plate and slapped a triple to
center, scoring Kelly and Keller, bat
Roatche ended the rally when he
grounded out to Zernia.
That was all the scoring until the
seventh inning when Allentown
picked UP two more runs to go
ahead 4-3 Swederske, the first man
up, doubled to left, and Argeros,
the catcher, followed with triple
to center, with Swederske scoring.
Argeros then came home on a pass

rificed him to second, but Zernia
put an end to the rally when he
hit line drive to Dykes, who step

assisted double play.
The Owls threatened in the sew
enth when the first two men walked,
but Manager Hollingsworth yanked
Hyatt at this point and sent in
Hoch, who retired the next three
batters in order.
The Cards put the game on ice in
the top half of the eighth, when they
picked up two more runs. Ciaffone
and Hercinger singled, and Lands
sent them both home with a double.
The Owls got their fourth and
final run in the eighth, when Helm
baugh singled, went to third on

Umpire Burnett told him to get up
to the plate, some words ensued,
with the result that Sturm was
thrown outsof the game. This brought
