BULLETIN
BERLIN Pl.--The Western
Berlin railway decided tonight
to restore interzonal freight
movements to normal without
calling of their walkout.
Dr. The Assoelossd Press

BERLIN. June 22.-Leaders oi
the striking West Berlin railway
workers voted today TO reject the
latest proposal to end their walk
out and drew q stern admonition
from an American official.
ITS time they start consider
ing what's best for Berlin. not
purely for their union. said w. r
Babcock. American deputy COM
mandant In Berlin. He warned
the union leaders to subordinate
their union to the welfare OF
the city"
The leaders Of the Anti Com
munist union. UGO. rejected
Russian assurances that there
would be no reprisals by the
Soviet-controlled railway manage
ment against those who merely
walked of their jobs. The as
surances were given yesterday by
Mai. Gen. Kvashnin. Soviet
transport chief. In reply to a
request from the three western
eommandants.
Leaders Promise Statement.
The strike leaders said they
would meet again 10 decide fur
ther action TO be taken" They
said they would issue q statement
citing their reasons for rejecting
the offer. which included 90 per
cent of wages In West marks and
% promise OF no reprisais for
striking.
Some 1000 men walked of their
jobs May Il. asking payment OF
all their wages In Allied-sponsored
West marks. worth four times Al
much as Russian backed East

The railroads were granted an in

The Montana railroad commits

In other words. Montana people

Rebuilt Barn Proves Efficient
Shriver Takes Advice of Farm Engineer

Jim Shriver, as he is known

supply vegetables for the cannery
and good beef for the Baltimore
market. Jim is a business man,
and so was quick to see the pos
sibilities of new barn design
when he had to rebuild an old
bank barn that had burned.
Jim likes to give full credit for
his new barn to Ray Carpenter,
agricultural engineer at the Uni
versity of Maryland. And Ray. in
turn, says the one thing he likes
most about Jim is that he isn't
afraid of new idea.
After Jims barn burned he
started figuring on new one. 1t
looked like costs were going to be

one that burned on the same old

Many q worthwhile shrub has
been and others still can be grown
from slips-or, as one writer put it,
from bits and pieces" Thousands
Of rose bushes now growing in
local gardens came from slips. The
growing of woody plants from cut
tings Is widely practiced by the
commercial grower.
Some woody plants. do better
from cuttings taken early in the
season. others late in the season.
Generally speaking, June, July and
August are most favorable: perhaps
we should say that cuttings taken
In those months are most likely
to root under leSs-than- ideal con-
ditions. Many of us have seen
slips" that were taken at other
seasons at>developed into good
plants.
Generally the expert propaga-
tors take green wood cuttings that
are stiff enough to snap when
bent. A few kinds Ere taken with
a heal" of old wood attached.
Some experimenting is likely to
prove profitable for the beginner
until he gets his roofing bed,
medium and slips co-ordinated.
Where to Make the Cut.
Three to five inch cuttings are
normally taken for roofing. Cut
tings that have the nodes or buds
far apart will need to be longer
than those with short intervals
as the roots normally develop at
that point. Cuttings from shrubs
that have hollow or pith-f1lled
stems should be cut off just below
the node and cuttings from shrubs
with solid stems should be severed
just below the buds. Remove most
of the lower leaves before placing
in the roofing medium. For most
cuttings, leave only the smaller
terminal leaves. For cuttings with
large leaves it may be necessary
to cut off part of the leaves. This
is done to reduce Transportation.
The cuttings should be kept
moist and shaded. Avoid letting
them wilt for. without roots, it is
difficult for them to absorb suff1-
cient moisture. Place the cuttings
approximately 2 inches apart or
more in rows 3 inches OR more
apart. Overcrowding prevents the
leaves from functioning and re-
duces the chances Of rapid root
development.
Choice Of Medium.
The choice of a medium in
which to root the cuttings is much
wider today than when grand
mother set the fashion. In those
days we were pretty we'll limited
to sand or sandy leaf mold. Use
of the latter oftentimes resulted
in the cuttings rotting before root
ing. Pure sharp sand is still widely
used although it has the disad-
vantage of drying out rapidly un-
less we'll packed and shaded. A
mixture of sand and peatmoss
does not dry out so easily but
overwatering is more Of problem.

back should be as soon as the first
blooms fall. Cutting back, feed
ing and cultivation often produces
a good second crop of bloom. Null
ching is important to their growth
and health. Several years ago
Charlottesville gardener reported
marvellous results with a corn cob
mulch for phlox. Dusting or
spraying to control rush and mil
dew is important to the health of
these plants.
Some gardeners have reported
better success with Madonna lilies
when. the soil was lined at the
time of reworking. Use ground
limestone and bone meal in pre-
sparing the soil.-
Old raspberry canes should be
removed and burned. This is i'm
portant. 1t Is we'll to spray or
dust the new canes to protect
them from the borer and disease.
Thin out and tie up the new shoots
so that they will not interfere with
cultivation. Dump leaves, in be-
tween the plants to a depth of a
foot or more this fall. Lacking
leaves, well rotted sawdust Is next
best as a mulch.
Do not neglect to thin the fall
vegetable crops to insure rapid
growth. Adequate spacing seems
to be most difficult for gardeners.
II available the colchicum or
meadow saffron bulbs shonld go
into the ground now. Some folks
call them fall-blooming crocus but
while they resemble the crocus
they are of different family.
Bulbs planted now will flower in
late September or early October.
They make a pleasing display in
the rock garden or along a garden
path.
| Do not leave onion bulbs in the
ground after the tops have died
down. Lift. dry. and store in a
light airy situation until used. Tie
in punches or strings.
Keep the fall garden growing
vigorously by keeping it well
watered, cultivated, and fertilized.
We can begin disbudding dRhlias
and chrysanthemums soon. 1t is
desirable to do this work, while
the buds are quite small. Disbud-
ding may seem an endless chore
but when we gather large speci-
men blooms the effort seems more
than worthwhile. II there are too
many plants. disbud a few plants

Dogs
By Peter Boees

Almost all kennels will allow
you to take a 6-week-old puppy
home with you after you have pur-
chased 1t. In fact, dog breeders
like to move their pups at that
age as it saves them added ex-
pense in feeding the pup. While
it is perfectly safe to take a puppy
away from its mother at that
time. it is much better to allow
the dog to stay at the kennel for
two or three weeks longer If pos
sible. A dog breeder is better able
to get the young dog started eat
ing by himself than most pur-
chasers.
Many puppies develop certain
diet upsets between and 10
weeks OF age. At that age they
may also be troubled with worms.
If the pup is still owned by the
breeder, he will see to it that these
disturbances are properly treated.
Unless you have had some expert
ence with raising dogs, I would
advise that you wait and pur-
chase q dog that Is at least 3
months old. If you see just the
pup you want. and he is only S
or weeks old, go ahead and
buy him. but at the same time,
make arrangements for the ken
mel or breeder to take care OF him
until he is around 8 months OF
age.
Among the many myriad lies
about dogs. none is more persis-
tent or more idiotic than the dog
days" superstition. You'd be sur
prised how many people have the
belief that the period from late
July until late August is the time
when your dog is more likely to
become rabid and do all kinds of
damage. Because of this many
pups suffering from worm fits or
sunstroke are shot to death.
1t has been proved time and
time again that rabies is no more
frequent in summer than in win
ter and no more so during the
so-called dog days. than during
the Christmas holidays. If your
dog is allowed to loaf in some
cool sh dcd rlecH { - : heat
of the day and if he has plenty
of fresh, cool water to drink, he
is no more in danger of going mad
or annexing other diseases than
at any other time of year. Dog
days" mean nothing as far as
rabies are concerned.
Remember. too. that a dog be-
comes rabid only after being bit
ten by some other animal suffer-
ing from this disease.
Actually the amount Of food a
dog requires depends upon the
amount of exercise he receives
During these hot summer days,
dogs lie about more. and conse-
quently don't need quite as much
food as during the cooler months
when they are more active.
@. Should 5-Week- old Scot
tie be fed oftener than twice a
day?-L. G.
A. Your dog should be fed four
time a day until he is or 5
of age, three times day
until he Is months old and
then twice a day until he is a
year old.
