Maryland 4-HBoys To Attend Camp

Maryland All farm boys, will
have an entire week of camp life
and conservation training when
they attend the State All Con-
Iservation Camp being held at
Pleasant Valley, Bittinger, Md,
tomorrow through Saturday
Nearly 100 outstanding All boys
from all % counties have been
selected to take part in the camp
The five-day program is divid-
ed into three parts-the boys will
be taught soil and water con-
servation, wildlife and fishery
management and forestry. Spe-
cialists from Federal and State
as we'll as private organizations,
will be on hand to instruct the
Alters. All teaching will be done
by demonstrations, lectures and
tours.
Harry w. Dengler, extension
forester. and w. Sherard Wilson,
assistant State boys club leader
are in charge of the camp.
In the soil and water conserva-
ton phase Of the program the
boys, all of whom are required
to be at least Is years old, will
Ibe taught Identification OF ducks,
song birds. and wild game ami
mails common to the Maryland
area. Proper methods of trapping
farm fur-bearers will be stressed
along with the skinning of the
animals and curing of hides.
Game wardens will demonstrate
how wild rabbits are trapped in
areas were they are too abundant
The live animals trapped at the
camp are to be released in areas
where rabbits are scarce to re-
plenish the supply. The Alters
will also learn how to develop
game refugees on farms by plant
ing food and cover plants.
Identification of fish and the
types of food they feed on will be
taken up in the study of fish man
agement. Part of this instruction
will include the actual seining of
lake at the camp.
Other subjects taken up will be
the management and improve

IGIudioIus Show
"opens Saturday
AT Botanic Garden

The second annual flower show
of the National GladioluS Society
will be held next Saturday ano

The show, which will include COM
petitive classes for amateurs, COM
mercial growers and flower ar

of exhibits may be made Friday
evening after 7 pm. but must be
in place before 1890 pm. Satur-

The show schedule employees the

North American Gladiolus Society
which assigns code number to
each recognized variety. Having
this code number, the actual plac-
ing of exhibits becomes matter
of whether it is single spike en-
try or a three-Spike entry in the
open division. There are separate
sections for each. Section D is
for amateurs, growers who have
not previously competed in a large

teur can compete in the open
classes. Glasses for commercial
growers will be found in section
H. Glasses for retail florists are
listed in section G.
The arrangement classes, pat
termed after the 1850 National
Flower Show, should appeal to all
who delight in showing skill in
this field. There is a class for
men only; another by invitation.

Stake tall-groWing ANIMALS to
prevent their blowing over during
a rainstorm. Set the stakes at
least a foot deep. preferably 18
inches. Make ties at intervals
of 10 to Is inches. Dahlias should
be kept tied to the stakes. other
wise the brittle stems will break
and the choice top bloom lost.
Shallow planted glads are often
blown over during heavy rain
storms but they are not so easy
to stake. An easier and effective
method is to drive strong stakes
at the end of the row and stretch
string between them-one or
more strings on each side of the
row. A few short ties will hold
the cords together. although if
the row is long. additional stakes
may be needed to keep the cords

Spray for Lote
Tomato BIiOht

Late blight of potatoes and to-

counties, and will be spreading
throughout" the State within a
short time. warn University OF
Maryland plant pathologists
Warm, moist weather has en-
couraged the development of this
annual fungus invasion.
Potato and tomato growers
should Immediately start a spray
program If they have not already
been spraying for blight, say DR.
&c. E. Cox and DR.. L. o. Weaver
zerbam or copper sprays are rec
commended. Sprays should be ap-
piled at 8 to 10 day intervals.

Chinese Cubbuoe
Fine for Late
Summer Gardens

Chinese cabbage is better
adapted to late summer growing
conditions than lettuce or celery,
and will provide an appetizing
change in the home grown greens
supply. Ed Bender. vegetable
specialist at the University of
Maryland, suggests two varieties,
Pc T'sai and Wong Box.
It's time to plant now. Just
before or after a rain is the best
time. It may be advisable to
water and furrow If the soil is
dry, then plant. Rows should be
at least "a inches apart-30 is
better. Place seeds about an inch
apart, up to Is to foot. If the
ground was artif1cally watered,
place a board over the row to
keep the soil from baking during
the period of termination and
emergence. AS soon as the plants
are up. remove the board.
II there is a dry period when
the plants are small, it will be
necessary to water them.
After the seedlings have
reached a height of 2 to 4 inches,
thin them. If these trimmings
are large enough. they will make
a tasty dish after boiling, Mr..
Bender says. Let the thinning be
a compromise between getting
the desired spacing of 18 to 20
inches and saving the strongest
and most vigorous plants. Guilt
vation should be held to q mini
mum.

| Spraying shrubs, flowers and
trees to control the japanese beetle
should not be done as most of us
would like to do it-enough spray
to drown them. Unfortunate tely,
where heavy coverage of foliage
is made with a spray material,
the particles of DDT or other
material usually flow to the lower
edge of the leaf. leaving most of
the surface unprotected The ideal
spray application covers most of
the leaf surface with tiny drop
lets that do not run together. 1t
takes fine mist to accomplish
this result. Do good job as well
as economize on materials.
1t is probably waste of time
and effort TO plant sweet corn at
this late date in the more out

Of very early varieties is on hand
it might be worth a try to see what

carrots and other crops should be
planted for a continuous harvest.

PanSieS are one of the most

cutting is standard practice, al
though it is not equally important
for all kinds. Some seem to bene-
fit by the foliage being left intact.
Most kinds lose moisture too
rapidly and SO the safest practice
is to remove all but few of the
tip leaves. If the tip leaves are
large, it may help to cut them inI
half.
Compounds Speed Roofing.
The use of roofing compounds
seems to speed the roofing process
for most kinds of cuttings. Var
ious studies indicate that under
ideal growing conditions, there isl
little difference between the num-
ber of rooted cuttings in treated
and untreated lots. Lacking ideal
conditions. the results seem toI
favor the use OF one of the COM
pounds. There are two such ma
terials commonly used-and trials
indicate that no one is the best.
Some kinds of cuttings root best
when treated with indolebutyricI
acid. others when treated with
lnapthaleneacetic acid. Other kinds
rooted equally we'll with either
Several kinds of cuttings did very
poorly unless, treated with one of
the roofing compounds.
Cuttings should be spaced rather
closely together in the cutting
frame. And, 1t is especially i'm
portant that the roofing medium
be flrmed very tightly about the
cuttings. The firmness will vary
according to the material. Sand
can be firmed to a considerable |
degree but mixture of peat and
sand is spongy and will not pack
so compactly.
The cutting frame should be SO !
prepared that 1t will keep the cut
Itings from excessive drying, an
important consideration until they
have developed feeding roots. For
this reason some gardeners use a |
lglaSs sash to retain moisture
Wetting the foliage mornings
helps to keep the cuttings from
whiting. Even though a sash is
not used, successful roofing may
be attained by surrounding the
frame with boards to prevent dry
ing winds, and newspapers spread
over the tops Of the cuttings will
help to hold the moisture. OF
course. If there are only a few
cuttings we can still do as grand
mother did, cover them with fruit
jars.
Some Need Tip Bud.
Sometimes the gardener cuts
the shoots into 4 to 6 inch lengths
IN order to obtain the largest /
number of cuttings possible. This
will not work with dogwood

period of time, treat part of them |
with one kind of roofing stimulant
and the balance with the other !
and place the cuttings in several
kinds OF roofing materials. A
specially prepared cutting frame
is desirable but not essential. pro- /
vided other means are taken to
reduce effects of wind and sun
during earliest stages. The fol-
lowing table is rough guide for
