1t was at this stage that Ray
Carpenter was called in.
Look here" he said. You
have the wrong idea about this.
Let's 60 up from the old founda-
tions, using the entire barn space
for hay and straw storage. This
way you can slide the baled hay
and straw downhill. packing it on
the ground. and avoid having to
use heavy construction to carry
the weight. Then, we will extend
a shed on the south side of the
barn for the cattle. This will be
loafing area and the steers can
be fed on ground level without a
lot of lifting and Juggling hay
around"
Jim caught on right away. 1t
always had seemed to him that
farmers did lot of unnecessary
work-first lifting hay and straw
into overhead hay mows. then
throwing it down again to feed
their stock. This way the feed
would be stored on the ground
level and 1t wouldn't be any trick
at all when feeding time came.
But the payoff of Jim's new
barn were the cost figures. He
collected $1,000 from the insur-
ance company for the loss of his
old barn. and when the new one
had been built. Jim found that
it had cost only $500. complete
with silo attached.
No Sweating in Winter.
"It was cheap" Jim said. But
the best thing about it is the way
It operates. There is no sweat
ing and dripping moisture in the
winter time - the cattle are
healthy and satisfied, and the la
Dor 1t saves is something to think
about. And, too, it can be cleaned
in a jiffy with a tractor lift if you
want to use it.
I'VE don't use, tractor lifts
here" Jim said. because we like
to keep our men in good condi-
ton during the winter. But. II
you build a barn like this. and
don't care about keeping your
waistline trim and nice, you sure
can use a tractor to good advan-
tage for barn cleaning"
While Jim is.a beef, cattle man,
he thinks the dairy farmer also
might take a lesson from his barn.
No reason why this type Of barn
couldn't be used to house and feed
dairy cows, with the milking done
in a separate milking parlor.
Many agricultural engineers. he
pointed out. are now advocating
the loafing shed-milking parlor
idea for dairy cows. asserting that
dairymen should begin to build
barns their cows can pay for.
Anyway, If anybody wants to
see Jim's barn. he will be delight
ed to show it of. u. B.

Potomac Rose Show Data.

Following two successful rose
disbudding and budding exhibi-
tions at the Memorial Rose Gar
den at Arlington Hospital, Poto-
mac Rose Society has alerted its
growing membership to ways Of
producing fine blooms for the fall
show October / and 2 in the foyer
of the. New National Museum.
In the fall, rose blooms are rich
with radiant colors and the aim is
to make this years show repre-
sentative of all amateur gardens
in the area. No fees of any kind
will be charged. Garden clubs
are especially solicited to par
ticipate.
These pointers are listed: Water
the soil thoroughly once a week,
soaking to the roots, and mulch
the surface; cultivate no deeper
than two inches. Stop feeding
now as blooms. not shoots, are
desired and enough food has prob
ably already been placed. Dust
plants frequently. If cutting back
is done, seeking to stimulate
growth of favored canes, it must
be done now; cut back a third to
where a new shoot tends toward
the outward rim of the plant;
protect the cut surface. 1t takes
four to six weeks from the time
a new shoot starts until it blooms;
protect the shoots selected. 1t is
not necessary to disbud if the
grower wants to enter naturally
grown roses in those classes. II a
specimen is to be entered, watch
for the center or terminal bud
and remove all side buds when
they appear. Do not delay this
disbudding as stub ends will show
and mar the entry.

High temperatures. drought and
heavy rainfall are turning Wash
ington lawns into patch work
of dead bluegrass and green crab
grass. OF course. the crabgrass
soon takes over where the blue
grass has turned brown. There
is little that can be done about
| it now, but in September the soil
should be raked and reseeded with
good grass seed? In the mean
| time we can be thankful that the
crabgrass keeps our lawns green.
Heavy rains and high tempera-
lures have produced heavy growth
on. many tall-growing plants and
unless they are staked there Is
danger Of them being blown over
and ruined. Stalking of tall-grow-
ing perennials is an annual chore
that is necessary II We are to
keep the garden in order. Bam-
boo stakes are again available and
make the best appearance: but.
rather than no stalking. strong
stakes of any kind are desirable.
Use strips of cloth of soft twine
to avoid cutting the succulent
stems. Theoretically, the ties
should be fastened snugly to the
stake and loosely about the stems
of the plants.
Vegetable planting at this sea-
son is limited to garden peas. let
tuce, winter radishes. fall beets
and kale. Another planting of
spinach can 60 in now. If you
have multiplier onions they might
well be divided and reset. Per-
haps there are top sets to be
put fhA
The buying of good mixture of
grass seed for the new lawn or for
the reseeding of an established
lawn is somewhat Of a problem.
The recommendations of the ex-
perts boil down to equal parts Of
Kentucky bluegrass, nlahee creep
ing red fescue and Alta fescue.
The shady lawn will need Chew
ings fescue If the soil tends to be
dry. while in moist shade Danish
bluegrass (Poa trivialis) is the
better choice along with Kentucky
bluegrass.

Slip Culture Isn't.DiffiCult
Nodes, Growth Medium and Shading
Are Important to Keep in Mind
By VIII. Iounqmon

rials that are now widely used by
commercial propagators. An ideal
material is relatively sterile. holds
sufficient moisture without becom-
ing water-logged. and does not
require too frequent watering.
Grandmother rooted her slips in
a shady, moist situation, under a
fruit jar so that the leaves would
not dry out.
Locate the propasating frame in
a shady situation. It should be
one that can be inclosed to pre-
vent excessive drying. A small
cold frame sash fitted to a wooden
frame is one method.
For roofing a few cuttings a
large flower pot or bulb pan is apt
to be adequate, since a six or
seven Inch pot will hold six or
eight cuttings very nicely. Parti-
ally fill the pot or bulb pan with
the roofing medium and then
place a small pot (21a or 3 inches
with the drain hole tightly corked
in the center. The rim of this
small pot should sbe level with the
rim of the large pot. Fill in around
it with the roofing mixture. pack
ing the material tightly. Place the
cuttings in the roofing mixture
and fill the little pot with water
which will seep slowly through the
clay and help to keep the roofing
medium moist. Even with this
automatic watering device the pot
should be kept in a shady situa-
ton and 1t may be necessary to
cover with bell-jar or some other
device to prevent excessive trans
piration.
Transfer Time Important.
Some cuttings, which root very
quickly will be ready for trans
planting in about six weeks. others
may take II weeks or longer.
When the roots are an inch long
the cuttings should be transferred
to a sandy loam-a mixture of
sand. loan and leafmold. The
transfer should not be delayed
since there is no plant food in the
roofing medium Space the cut
tings 4 to 6 inches apart. Except
for those which are especially
hardly they will need some protec-
ton such as a pine bough cover
the first winter.
The following table indicates
perferred cutting date and time
required for roofing:

Fruit Crops
To Be Advertised

A campaign to raise 81 800 from
members of the Ottawa County
Fruit Growers Association is now
underway so that an advertising
campaign to announce coming
fruit crops may get underway
in newspapers and radio.
Cherries and raspberries are
ripening now, and are sold mostly
at roadside stands.
A big crop of peaches is anti
cipated for the Danbury and Ca
tawba fruit belt. Some growers
are thinning their trees to remove
excess small fruit and thus pro-
duce larger peaches. Apple orch
ards also give evidence of bump
er crop, especially in late varie-
ties.
