Chinese Chestnuts
Bring Cash Crop,
Afford Beauty

The old American chestnut
noted for its nuts and for It's
timber-is gone, but taking its
place are new varieties that have
been developed to resist the
blight that destroyed the native
trees.
Interest is keen throughout the
Southern States in developing
multi million dollar chestnut cash
crop, and farmers and gardeners
also are interested in the pos
sibilities of the new chestnut
varieties that have been developed
from Chinese trees.
The Agriculture Department re-
Gently announced the release Of
three new blight resistant chest
nut varieties-the Nanking, the
Melting and the Kuling. These
varieties were developed from
chestnut breeding material COL
lected by department explorers
in China. The work has been
under the direction of DR.. John
w. Mckay, plant scientist at the
Beltsville station.
The new chestnut tree is not a
forest tree like its predecessor in
this country, but is well suited to
orchard and ornamental planting.
Trees often begin bearing at
three years of age, and may pro-
duce as much as 100 pounds Of
nuts at 10 years of age. A
mature tree is about the size of a
large apple tree. 1t is symmetri-
cal in shape. with spreading
branches and thick foliage. It
makes a beautiful shade tree.
The new blight resistant chest
nut varieties are rather easy to
grow, and will do we'll in most
types of soil. They should not
be planted in extremely dry places.
and the trees should be set from
80 to 40 feet apart. At least
two trees should be planted to
insure croSS-p S-pollination.

learn that the overall density of
a negative has no bearing on its

the negative will only be a guide

This Week in the Garden
By w. H. Younqmon

Out-of door gardening activi-
ties are likely to be at a low ebb
this week, but window gardeners
will be proudly surveying acquisi-
tions. House plants. particularly
the colorful poinsettias, cyclamen,
azaleas and other seasonal plants
are welcomed gifts. Their life and
usefulness, however, will depend
on the care given to them.
For long and useful life the
poinsettia should be placed in a
sunny window and carefully pro-
tected from chilling drafts. Ample
moisture is needed although poin-
settias seem to thrive in moderate
to warm rooms.
Cyclamen need moisture and
sunlight but are happiest in a cool
(under so degrees) room. Humi-
dity in the air and moisture at the
roots are essential. Dry air causes
the foliage to become sickly, and
the combination of dry soil, dry
air and a warm room will quickly
finish any cyclamen plant.
Azaleas need a cool room and
moisture in a sunny window al
though an east window will give
all of the sunlight necessary.
All of these plants benefit from
moist air which may be easily pro-
vided by placing them in shallow
pans. A layer of gravel or sand
In the bottom of the pan will raise
the pots above the water level
which should be maintained in the
pans at all times. Evaporation is
more rapid from gravel than from
sand.

either an error or exposure or be-
cause we selected the wrong grade
of paper for the print. The best
way to locate the trouble is to
first obtain the best possible print
with the No. 2 paper. Make sew
eral other prints at different ex-
posures, marking each carefully
on the back of the print. II the
first print appeared too dark then
your subsequent exposures should
be less than the first. II the
print was light. try a greater ex-
posure. All of these should be
fully developed at the recon-
mended time.
After one or two more print
ings you will find a. print that
will be the best you can obtain
from that particular contrast
grade of paper. The exposure
you gave this print will be the
exposure to use for this negative
from now until you are satisfied
that you have the best possible.
If this final print on the No. 2
grade paper is soft and fiat look
ing then make another print. at
the same exposure on No. 3 con-
trast paper. Then make still an
other print on No. l contrast
paper just for comparison-also
at the same exposure. Now COM
pare the three prints-one from
each grade of paper. One of them
will be the best.

vermiculite, fly ash, sand or peat
moss. Keep moist and syringe
daily. A cool partially lighted

grees, is best. They should root
in 4 to 6 weeks. When the roots

Livestock
Notes
By Don Henderson

Down the Shenandoah from
Castleman's Ferry there are 1000
acres being utilized for beef cattle
feeding or finishing.
M. D. Goodrich. in 1947, be-
came the owner of four farms.
They are all under the name Of
Coolspring. Calves purchased in
the fall are sold next fall as
stockers, while some are carried
through the winter and sold in
the spring as young fat steers.
Those purchased in the spring
are treated the same way.
He has two markets, therefore,
one for fat steers and one for
stocker cattle.
All of his animals are under
shelter during the bad winter
months. They are fed hay, grass
or corn ensilage and grain con-
centrates. At this time he has
495 head at the troughs. or about
one COW for each two acres. His
grasses are exceptional, his COM
plete management of the best. He
prefers Herefords and their
crosses.
Across the Shenandoah from
the Goodrich farm is the 400
acre farm of Navy Capt. Paul E.
Phil, located on top the Blue
Ridge Mountains. He is starting
to build herd of grade Here
fords. You seldom find a man
who has spent much time in the
air or at sea who has a natural
eye for stock. Capt. Phil seems
to have acquired just that. Mrs.
Phil, a sister of the late Wendell
Willkie, is equally interested in
the project. They make their
home at the farm.
His brother -in-law Is starting
an Angus herd nearby. He bought
a few last spring, then a few
heifer calves at the Winchester
fall sale and a purebred bull in
Pennsylvania. E. E. Willkie is
a vice president Of Libby's Pack
ing Co. in Chicago. He will re-
tire in a few years and have q
well organized farm to come to.
It is a wise plan to look ahead
as have these two men.

Not every one comes by a good
bull by mistake. This happened
to A. A. Baldwin in 1888, when he
bought two carloads Of steers at
Kansas City. There was one bull
among them. He replaced the
steers with two carloads Of Texas
heifers and used the bull he had
retained. Probably this resulting
crop of calves was as good, If not
better, than any crop he has had
since. The calves formed the base
of his herd. The Hefords there
now are as good grade herd al
can be seen anywhere.
OF interest too is the fact that
his stallion, Jeep, py Manmouu ous
Of Traffic by Broomstick, stables
with the hunters, goes to exercise
with them and is treated just az
they are. His condition at this
time is maybe a little better than
that of any horse in the big stable.

at the sales in 1850. The mareS
