More than 200 members and
guests were present at the fifth an
nual dinner meeting of the Hagers-
town Manufacturers Bureau, held
in the Hotel Alexander on Monday
night at which the guest speaker
was u. S. Senator John Marshall
Butler.
Following the dinner John M.
Miller, the retiring president, well
coined the members and guests and
then introduced the following group
seated at the head table: Donovan

Mr.. Beachley then introduced
Senator Butler, who centered his
address around the work of the U.
S. Senate.
The speaker pointed out that there
seemed to be three opinions in the
Senate regarding what should be
done in the defense effort. One
group, he said, is willing to do any
thing and everything they can to
back up the defense effort; the sec
ond group wants to provide an adj
equate defense, but does not want
the country to move too fast; while
the third group urges that all con-
ditions of the national defense eff
fort he carefully screened, and judg-
ed by the ability of the nation to
carry the load without putting too
. much strain on the national econ
omy. Senator Butler closed this
part of his talk with the following
statement: Il do not think that
this county can afford to maintain a
six-million army, do an adequate de

The speaker then urged his audi

that he can be guided by their

connection he pointed out that there

Faith Builds Home, Feeds II Children
By Woods Honsen

The Rev. John Vogel has
watched his family grow in the
short space of IL years from one
child to II. and he is rearing it
on faith.
With no regular source of in4
come, he is feeding, clothing and
educating his flock of kids with q
total disregard for financial plan
ming. But everything has worked
out so far and Mr.. Vogel has faith
that it will continue to do so.
Home for the family, all Of
whom are his legally adopted chill
dren, is the Galilean Children's
Home near Corbin, KY. Yester-
day Preacher Vogel, as he is called
in Kentucky, was showing 38 of
his flock, who are on a To-day
visit here. through the Capitol.
Started in Kentucky Hills.
Preacher Vogel started acquir-
ing his family more or less by
accident. He had gone into the
hills of Kentucky 16 years ago
with his wife and daughter as an
evangelist. Setting up house.
keeping in a $2.50-a-month cabin,
he started working with the peo-
pie in the area-preaching and
even doing a little medical work
when no doctor was available.
| He had been there about four
years when he and his wife were
asked to take in q homeless, g.
month-old girl from the Harlan
coal fields.
His ready agreement to do so
brought about a dozen requests
to take in other children, but
despite his willingness. he had no
money to build place for them
to live.
Walking through the woods one
day, he found his answer tract
of wooded land that would provide
the space and building materials.
He looked up the owner of the
land who wanted $3.50 for the 80
acres. However, when the owner
found out what Preacher Vogel
was going to use it for, he lowered
the price to $3.50, if he could have
a large down payment.
Dollar Down Buys Tract.
Mr.. Vogel had only a dollar and
gave it to the owner, who agreed
to let the land 60, if was paid off
in six months-otherwise he would
take the tract back.
On the last day of the six
months, Mr.. Vogel had no money
and was still $50 short of the
$3.50. At the last moment, he re-
ceived check for $100 in the mail
from complete stranger who had
heard of the project.
For all his disregard of finan-
Icial planning, Preacher Vogel has
a practical turn, which he brought
into play to get the first buildings
of the home constructed.
Faced again with the problem of
no money, he talked two nearby
storekeepers into accepting scrip.

County Agricultural Agent.
The mimosa webworm is one of
these. It will attack the young
leaves of the mimosa tree causing
severe damage if not promptly con-
trolled.
Spray the tree thoroughly with a
one per cent solution of DDT. To
make this spray use one ounce or
two tablespoonsful of so per cent
wettable DDT in one gallon of
water. Another spray made of 5
tablespoons of calcium arsenate in
one gallon of water can also be
used.
The second pest is the bagworm.
This insect attacks evergreens and
can kill these ornamentals in one
season if not controlled at once.
Use the same sprays as recon-
mended for mimosa worm. In all
cases, the tree or bush should be
thoroughly covered with the spray.
One or more sprayings will prob
ably be needed as successive hatch
ing of the worms may take place.

More Vitamin BIZ, Faster

/ Delaware farmers, and farmers
all over the United States, will
probably find Vitamin BIZ cheap
er in another year or SO, according
to the Animal and Poultry Indus
try Department at the University
of Delaware.
The vitamin is important in live
stock raising, particularly as a
feed supplement for young chick
ems and pigs. BIZ makes them
grow to market weight faster, with
less feed.
Until decently, the vitamin has
been supplied by feeding meat and
fish meals. Now U. S. Department
of Agriculture scientists have dis
covered organisms which produce
the vitamin by fermenting the ma
terial in which they grow. One in
particular, a mold in a soil sample
from Japan, produces good quanti-
ties of Vitamin BIZ, and does so
in a shorter time than present
methods.
The organism, known to scient-
lists as Streptomyces olivaceous
(Waksman), is related to those
which produce anti-biotics such as
streptomycin and aureomycin, now
widely used in medicine.

Keep Home Gardens Producing


Don't let garden space go to
waste" says Robert F. Stevens, ex-
tension horticulturist at the Uni
versity of Delaware.
Many early vegetable crops are
now maturing, and the ground they
were planted on, is clear for anoth-
er crop. Spinach, peas, radishes,
lettuce, and cabbage have matured,
or will soon. There is still plenty of
time to plant summer and fall
crops. Snap beans, lima beans, car
rots, sweet corn, collards, kohl
rabi, and many other vegetables,
can be planted in June.
A small space can be used for
growing cole crop plants to be
transplanted later. These would be
cabbage, caulifiower, broccoli, and
brussels sprouts. Plant the seed
from June 10 to June 25. The
plants will be big enough to trans
plant by July 20 to August 10.
Then you'll have fresh vegetables
during fall and early winter.
Keeping the garden producing as
much as it can, all the time, helps
to cut down on the amount your
family has to freeze, store, or can.
1t also gives you better-tasting
fresh vegetables over a longer per-
iod, says Stevens. So to really
