10000 Ford Workers
Denied JobIess Aid
In Michigan Strike

DETROIT. June s.-More than
70, 900 Michigan Ford workers idle
In the recent "Speed-up" strike
were denied unemployment COM
pensation today under a State
agency ruling.
However. the Michigan Unem-
ployment Compensation Commits
sion said that 1900 strike idlec
war veterans employed by Ford
would get benefits under CT regu.
lations.
The latter payments will amount
to an estimated S456, 900.
A difference in Interpretation OF
the State and Federal laws fig
ured in the decision. the COM
mission said. The agency said
that Illinois. Ohio. Pennsylvania
New York and New Jersey ruled
similarly.
State law prohibits compensa-
ton TO a worker who Is idle be-
cause of a labor dispute in the
establishment" where he works
The State Supreme Court has
held that establishment" mean,
any plant of the company.
The strike was called at Ford S
Rouge and Lincoln Mercury
plants. Elsewhere in Michigan
and in other States-Ford en-
ployes were laid of as a result.
About 5000 men actually went
on strike and LOG 900 became idle
The Federal law specifies that
benefits are to be denied in event
of a strike at the factory, estab-
lishment. or other premises" OF
company.
The Commission ruled that this
served to make ex-G1s eligible for
compensation If they were not
directly involved in the strike.
Any working at Rouge or
Lincoln Mercury. however, were
ruled ineligible.
A similar ruling was handed
down year ago in the Chrysler
strike. The CLIO United Auto
Workers union was the striking
group in each case.
Michigan's unemployment COM
pensation law calls for a maxi
mum payment of $40 weekly.

New Tractor Train

Forests of Virginia
Capable of Yielding
.25% More Timber

Virginia's commercial forest
land, comprising almost three
fifths of the total area Of the
State, can be developed to pro-
duce at least Is per cent more
timber, assuring it's wood using
industries a steady flow of raw
materials and economic stability,
a Forest Service survey report
states.
Depending on the States forest
resource are some 5000 saWmills,
pulpmills. 18 veneer plants, 63
cooperage shops, 7 excelsior plants
and 9 tanning extract factories,
plus miscellaneous industries and
individuals using 100000 to
100000 cords of wood for fuel,
poles, boxes and rough home con-
struction. Wood products rank
third in value among all manu-
factures in the State and second
as source of industrial employ
ment. providing 10000 man-years
of work annually.
While surveys indicate that the
total volume of the States timber
increased II per cent between 1910
and 1916, foresters point out the
stands found today in Virginia are
a far cry from the mighty forests
that covered the State when
Jamestown was settled in 1907.
Much of the reported increase
is in poor quality trees and un-
merchantable species. Today of
the 14,400,000 acres considered
commercial forest land, only half
is producing saw timber-logs that
can be sawed into lumber. Forty
five per cent of the rest land is
in cordwood, fit for pulp. fuel
and bolts, and per cent is
classed as reproduction.
|. OF primary concern to the fu-
ture economic welfare of the State
are the saW-timber stands which
provide raw materials for the
5000 sawmills Estimating that
the operation Of a stationary mill
requires timber stands averaging
1900 to 1000 board feet to the
acre, foresters report that so per
cent of Virginia's saw-timber land
produces only 1900 board feet.
and that Is per cent averages $50
board feet.
The survey suggests that tim
ber land be improved by protect
ing young trees. guarding against
forest fires. improving timber
quality by cutting out low-value
trees and by making better use
of the wood cut.

Another insecticide for use as a
residual spray for fly control in
dairy barns has been recommended
by entomologists of the Agriculture
Department. 1t is the essentially
pure gamma isomer of benzene
hexachloride, now known as lin
dane.
Until more is known the Bureau
of Entomology and Plant Quaran-
tine does not recommend that lin
dane be used op dairy cattle for
insect control nor that it be applied
to forage that is to be fed to dairy
cattle or animals being finished
for slaughter.
The bureau recommends that

where lindane insecticides are used
as residual treatments the finished

The lower concentration is obtained
by adding 10 pounds of the Is per

Ions of the 20 per cent emulsion to
100 gallons of water.
Entomologists this spring rec
commended that methoxychlor re-

tected with DDT to protect them
from the Japanese beetle. Wet
able DDT powder is most COM
monty used for this purpose but
one of the emulsif1able oil solutions
is less likely to clog the spray
nozzle and is more toxic to the
beetles.
DDT is still the best control for
the japanese beetles on SWeetcorn.
If applied early enough in the
season it will also control the corn
ear worm and the European corn
borer.
The home gardener who tries to
grow blueberries often finds that
he has many feathered assistants
at harvest time To control or
exclude hungry birds various cages
have been designed and built.
Some gardeners use mosquito net

are weighted and reach the ground
they are likely to be only partially

more time and money to build but
they do an effective job and will

Now is the time to take cut
tings of evergreen azaleas. Most
of them may be expected to root
rather easily in sand-Wood S soil
mixture. The roofing bed should
be in a protected, shaded situa-
tion where the cuttings will not
dry out. OverWatering is likely
to be just as fatal as not enough
moisture. Four inch cuttings with
the lower leaves removed may be
planted as closely as = inches
each way.
Layering is another method
that may be used on all types OF
azaleas and is likely to give bet
ter results where close attention
is not practicable Pin a lower
branch to the SOIL Cut a small
notch or slit in the lower side
below the point of pinning and
cover with soil. compost or peat
moss. 1t takes only two years
to grow Towering sized plant by

Gardeners who are waiting for
fall to sow a new lawn may well
incorporate a green manure crop
and thus improve the soil while
waiting. September is the ideal
time for sowing grass seed
Earlier planting is likely to be a
waste of seed. BuckWheat sown
now should be in flower in weeks
and ready to be turned under in
ample time for the soil to settle
and be ready for seeding. Use l
to 2 pounds of buckWheat seed per
1000 square feet. This practice
has secondary value-the thickly
growing buckwheat plants should
smother out many of the common
lawn weeds.

by setting out plants of cabbage.
broccoli. and. if you want to try
your luck. caulif1ower. 1t is not
too late to put in a row of snap
beans and possibly sweet corn. It's
worth a try if you have the space.
Sow seed of Chinese cabbage, win
ter keeper beets, kale and turnips.
A first planting of spinach may
also be made but planted this
early it may be tough unless grown
in rich, moist soil.
Many gardeners are troubled
with an unusually severe outbreak
of smut" on their sweetcorn.
Normally the smut appears either
on the blossom (taSseD or on the
ear and only an occasional plant
is infected. With the usual in
festation remove and burn the in
fected tassels and ears. When a
substantial proportion of the
plants are infected, as they are
this year, and it spreads even to
the leaves. a more drastic treat
ment may be necessary. Spraying
or busting with one of the fungi
cides should produce at least a
partial control and to check it's
spread. Next season treat the
seed with fungicide before plant
ing.
The prevalence of leaf diseases
of tomatoes has prompted num-
ber to start spraying for the late
blight of tomatoes. The dying
lower leaves of the plants are turn
ing yellow. If infected with the
blight the leaves will turn black or
a very dark green. So far no
report has been received indicating
