A master switch and fuse should

Farmers in Carroll
Proud of Fertility
On Rolling Acres

WESTMINSTER, Md, Aug. g.
Farmers in Carroll County. which
backs up to the Pennsylvania bor-
der, are proud Of their fertile land.
Their pride bubbled over this week
when they had a chance to show
Gov. Lane what is being done to
conserve their soil.
The Governor, along with rep
resentatives of State and Federal
agencies on specialists from the
University Of Maryland. were
members Of a tour of Carrolls
farming area.
The visitors were led by County
Agent L. C. Burns through Bach
mans Valley and on into Gran
berry and the Wakefield Valleys.
They stopped by to see Francis
Herring, who feeds 500 cattle and
l 900 hogs, and heard how he har-
vests a ton Of corn every four
minutes.
At the Guy Wine farm the Gov
ernor was told how farm that
was abandoned few years ago is
coming back to health again under
a carefully amnaged plan OF soil
conservation.
Here, Mr.. Wine said, corn yields
have jumped from three to II bar
rels per acre, and wheat yields
have increased from 13 to more
than 20 bushels per acre. Gulleys
are being healed, and the farm has
taken on a new look of prosperity.
The tour wound on through the
valley, past contoured fields OF
corn, past the Solomon Hoke farm
and on to the farm owned by c. N.
Myers. One of the better farms
in the valley, the Myers place was
going down hill before conserva-
ton plans were started q few
years ago.
Hilly Farm Not Eroded.
Then to the rolling farm owned
by Richard Richardson. a former
highway engineer. Mr.. Richard
son farms under a complete con-
servation plan-milks so Holstein
cows and averages shipping $50
gallons Of milk a day. Although
this farm is "hilly" farm. there
was no evidence of soil erosion.
At luncheon following the tour,
Gov. Lane said he was more than
impressed with what he had seen.
He said he wanted to carry the
story of what Carroll farmers are
doing to other counties in the
State.
DR.. Hugh H. Bennett, chief of
the Agriculture Departments Soil
Conservation Service, said the job
in Carroll County and in Mary
land is almost done.
You wouldn't think so now" he
said. but I can remember when
this country looked a little seedy.
You should say something about
the beauty of contoured fields"
DR.. Bennett said. I'VE live in
country of curves, and when we
farm in curves we maintain ma
lures beauty. We also save the
fertility of our soils" j. B.

Grassland Program
Being Developed by
VIRGINIA Farmers

Green grass is gold" say agri-
culture workers who are pushing
a pasture development program in
Virginia.
They are urging farmers who
haven't joined the grassland farm
ing movement to take look at
neighbors who have. The special
lists believe Virginia needs more
and better pastures to hold the
land, produce sleek cattle. and
step up farm profits.
To help other farmers develop
sound grass program. research
workers on the Virginia Tech staff
and Extension Service Specialists
have mapped a suitable pasture
system for every area in vir-
ginia.
Leafiet Available Free.
Farmers who are interested in
it can write the Extension Serv-
ice at Blacksburg for the leaf1et,
"A Pasture System for Virginia. /"
which is distributed without
charge.
The agriculture workers believe
many Virginia farmers have idle
land that could be put to good
use as pastures or steep land in
row-crop cultivation which would
be better off as pasture.
Meanwhile researchers are look
ing for a disease-resistant. late
maturing orchard grass for Vir-
ginia.
u DR.. T. J. Smith, station agron-
omist, says field paintings Of about
rs clumps of different orchard
grass plants are being studied at
VPI this season.
The researchers seek an orchard
grass adapted to Virginia condi-
tions that also Is leafy and has
heavy aftermath growth.
Strains Now Available.
The now available commercial
strains Of orchard grass. an old
standby for Virginia livestock
men. have many advantages, DR..
Smith says. They grow we'll with
legumes, produce lush growth in
the spring and the relatively cool
climate and soil in this State are
beneficial to the crop.
However. the commercial strains
when planted with alfalfa for hay,
seed too early for the first cut
ting. They do not generally pro-
duce a continued growth late into
summer. The late growth Is de-
sirable when orchard grass is to
be used for pasture.
DR.. Smith believes Virginia pos
sibly needs two strains-one par
ticularly suited for hay, the other
tailormade for pasture.

This Week in the Garden

Mid-August is about as late as
one may safely make paintings of
bush snap beans and beets. The
beans may have to be picked be-
fore fully mature but that is not a
handicap. Young beans are deli
cacy. Garden peas may be planted
this week and paintings continued
until the first of September. The
fall crop is more likely to produce
good quality than spring plant
ings. Regardless of the crop
planted, make sure that the seeds
can germinate and keep growing
vigorously to insure good quality
by rapid growth.
Plant Madonna lilies this month.
Order peonies now for Septem-
Der planting. If space permits, in
clude one or more. of the single
and Japanese varieties. Some of
the species. such as P. off1cinalis.
bloom earlier than the more COM
mon bomb" type. However, even
with the common double type it is
desirable to depend largely upon
the early varieties for the midsea-
son and late varieties are likely
to bali because OF the heat and
humidity which so often plague
peony growers toward the end Of
the Towering season.
September is daffodil planting
time and it is well to order bulbs
now for planting at the proper
season.
Early September also. is plant
ing time for evergreens. Many
gardeners prefer to set out their
arbor- vitae, hemlocks, spruces.

Senate Hot Over
Labor Law Debate

WASHINGTON, tF)-The Sen
ate warmed up today for its hot
test labor fight-over how to ham
die strikes that could cause ma
tional emergencies.
General debate on changing the
Taft-Hartley act neared an end, to
come after speeches by Senators
Humphrey D.-MinnD, Murray
O.-MontD, and Nicely DIV. va.
Next will come the one-by-one
consideration of amendments to
the Truman administrations bill
for TaftHartley repeal.
National emergency amend
ments may be taken up Tuesday
and some Senators say this bat
tie may continue the rest Of next
week.
That also happens to be the
week John L. Lewis has set aside
for a coal strike. With coal sup
plies high, a one-week stoppOge is
not considered a national emer-
gency. But it brings sharply to the
attention of Congress the possibil-
ity of a longer strike beginning
in July.

paign manager, from the witness
chair of the Senate hearing today

Baldwin had refused to answer
a question whether or not he is or
has been a member of the COM

Eastland of fighting against Ne
gro rights"
Baldwin, former administrator

win said is made up of plantation
owners"
Despite the epithets, neither

ing & Refining had the personnel, the capital,
and the experience necessary to participate
under Atomic Energy Commission regula-
tion--in the program.
One result of this, many observers think,
has been that in some ways these corporations
have become the masters rather than the SER
wants of Acc This is particularly true in the
field of labor relations.
Some Acc officials will admit-off the
record at least-that they are disappointed in
the union-managmement pattern in most
atomic energy installations But, they say, in
this area Carbide and the other big firms have
them under their thumbs. A great many trade
unionists in Oak Ridge are burned up" at the
pushing around they've been taking from the
companies and at Aces inability to do any
thing about it.
Much of the fault lies in the basic legisla-
tion. The congressional investigators of Acc
should be receptive to criticisms of this legis-
lative framework within which Lilenthal and
his colleagues have had to work. They should
not spend their whole time trying to draft
bill of indictment against conscientious pub
lie servant, nor make the narrower aspects of
security their sole concern.
