Engineer Gives
Tips on Making
Buildings Safe

Reports of farm buildings that
failed during the big blow in No
vember show one weakness COM
mon to all, according to Ray w.
Carpenter, extension agricultural
engineer at the University Of
Maryland. NJ
Buildings that lost their roofs
were found to have insufficient
fastening between the rafters and
the plate or between the plate and
the wall. Wind has a considerable
lifting effect on fiat or low-pitched
roofs, so particular attention must
be given in such buildings to the
fastening between roof and wall.
The correct way to do this is to
spike rafters to the plate, using
two 10-penny nails toe-nailed
from each side into the upper
plate. If the rafter is notched for
a plate overlay. another 10-penny
nail is needed underneath the
rafter into the plate.
Use Metal C0nnectOrs.
But much of the lumber avail
able today won't take this many
large nails without splitting, so
the answer Is to use metal con-
nectors or strips to tie rafters to
plates, plates to studs and studs to
sill. Ordinary strap iron. of o.
gauge stock, an inch wide. can be
used and should carry at least
three nails in each member in the
overlap. Also. the engineer said.
commercial fasteners are avail
able. especially designed for the
particular locations of use.
Many masonry walls were dam
aged after roof failure. This sug-
gests that walls should be
strengthened at intervals of IL
to 20 feet with pilasters or abut-
ments. In many cases a short ct"
section similar to a partial parti-
ton can be keyed into the main
wall. These should extend a dis
tance of two to three blocks. Fur
ther strength is added by includ-
ing at least three blocks in the
wall space between windows. Bolt
the plate to the wall at intervals
of 4 to 6 feet. recommends
the farm engineer, and let the
bolt extend down into the third
block.

Citrus Pulp Found
Good Dairy Feed

The relatively low price of dried
citrus pulps has led many dairy
men to ask questions concerning
its feed value. An answer to
these questions comes from j. w.
Pou, Extension dairyman at the
University of Maryland.
Dried citrus pulp" he said, "is
becoming more popular in many
parts of the country as a feed for
fairy cattle. While it is very low
in digestible protein. it is some
what higher in total digestible
nutrients than dried beet pulp,
and is frequently used as a sub
stitute for beet pulp"
He cited tests which show that
citrus pulp may form as much as
40 per cent of the concentrate
mixture without affecting milk
production. Some dai:ymen make
it more palatable Dy mixing
molasses with the citrus pulp.
AS for the costs, Mr.. Pou re-
ported that citrus pulp has re-
Gently been priced among the
cheapest sources Of total digesti-
BILE nutrients. He also points out
that during the past few months,
molasses has been a comparatively
cheap feed.
He recommended that dairymen
check the comparative costs Of
various feed grains from time to
time this winter.
"Feed-milk ratios will probably
be tighter due to rising costs of
feeds and roughages.' he said. by
switching ingredients, according
to cost, dairymen may keep their
feed cost at a minimum but still
provide proper rations.

Life in the Country
Virgin Forest in Western Maryland
Will Always Remain q Wilderness

It was late in the afternoon, and
a light rain was falling the day
visited Maryland's Swallow Falls
Park. I couldn't have picked a
better time or better weather, for
as I stood beneath the giant hem
locks that rose more than 100
feet above me I felt the loneli-
ness Of the ages.
This 40-acre forest of hemlock
and white pine. I am told, is one
Of perhaps three virgin forests
remaining in the Eastern part of
the country. It lies along a
swift-fowing mountain stream
near Oakland in Garrett County
Joe Kaylor, Maryland's director
Of forests and parks. first told me
the story of Swallow Falls Park
It seems that on old lumberman
who once owned the surrounding
land was so impressed with the
parklike beauty of the little val
ley along the stream that he left
the timber standing on this 40
acre tract. At his death, the area
was left to Masonic organiza-
tion and eventually was acquired
Evening star., 1951-02-04

Also. in pruning it is desirable
to cut back the longer shoots to
a fork and thus keep the tree
open and spreading, to admit
sunlight to the center.
When forcing the early spring
Towering shrubs, submerge cut
tings in warm water (75 degrees)
for Is minutes to hasten their
blooming. Covering with a moist
cloth for a period each day will
also help the flowers to open. Dry
homes provide a very different
condition than the moist air out
of-doors and is one of the reasons
that forcing is sometimes unsuc-
cessful. However, with this care
the length of time it takes to
force branch will vary from a
few days to couple of weeks.
Crushing the stems will some
times help. If the water tends
to become foul add a few pieces
OF charcoal or perhaps Floralife
will take care of this condition.
1t is not too late to start some
OF the tubers and bulbs for indoor
bloom. Gloxinias started now will
flower indoors in the summer.
They will not tolerate soggy soil,
so a mixture Of sand, peatmoss
and loan is desirable with a layer
OF sand surrounding the tuber.
The same applies to the Achi-
menes. Amaryllis need much more
moisture and sunny window for
best results. The paper white mar
cissus. lily of the valley and the
tuberous rooted begonias are
others which may be started into
growth now for indoor bloom.
Spring seed orders should be
prepared as soon as possible. The
seed should be on hand ready for
planting so as not to delay opera
tions. Buy varieties which are
known to do we'll in this area.
The list prepared by the Uni
versity OF Maryland is an excel
lent one for the beginner to follow

|OId Grape Vines
May Be Restored
by Proper Care

Many old neglected grape vines
in Virginia could be brought back
to productivity with fertilization
and pruning, according to Bruce
Aroian. associate horticulturist at
VPI.
Remarkable improvement usu-
ally can be seen the first year, but
it may require two years to COM
plete the Job, Mr.. Aroian said.
Here is his advice:
Remove the tangled growth from
its supports, cutting away OBJ
viously unWanted parts. and
spread it on the ground. Such a
vince usually contains dead wood
which should be removed. If the
vine is reasonably vigorous. some
of It's older branches will be ex-
tremely long. From these branches
the fruiting canes are produced at
intervals.
Try to keep the fruiting wood
as near to the trunk as possible.
Cut the older branches back mod
erately the first year to a suitable
fruiting cane. Leave a renewal
spur nearer the trunk so more of
the old wood may be removed the
following year. About six fruiting
canes cut back to about eight buds
can be left, and the rest of the
vine cut away. Often the old
wood is so large that a saw is
needed to remove it.
It Is sometimes necessary to
renew old vines where the trunk
has become crooked and bent, and
has perhaps deteriorated from dis
ease. If the root is healthy, such
renewal can usually be done by
bringing a new shoot from near
the ground. The old trunk may
be removed at once, or may be left
to fruit for one or two seasons un-
til the new cane is ready to take
its place.
Train the new shoot up to the
top wire as rapidly as possible in
the same manner as a newly
planted vine. Remove any side
shoots, except those needed for
new arms. when they are not more
than few inches long.
