good watchdog inside the house is

smashing blow on the head from
a club may make the outside
watchdog useless, but the dog
waiting alertly indoors is far
harder for a thief to deal with.

ton this for the benefit Of those
of you who want to buy a puppy
and yet don't care to pay a stiff
price for it.
Breeders often will sell the runt
of a fine litter for a mere song; or
even give it away to save drowning
it.
Following are three simple rules
to follow if your dog isn't feeling
well: First, keep him warm and
put him on a low diet of raw meat
and milk. Second, pet him and
show him a great deal of kindness.
A dog, conscious of sympathy, will
respond to treatment and accept
food far more readily than a dog
who feels neglected. Third, and
most important, call in a veteN-
marian. If you are sick you want
the services of q doctor, and so
does your dog.

little too starchy for a dog as a

Quoting soil survey in Louisa

All this is told in a book, big
Hugh, the Father of Soil Conser-
vation" published last week by
Macmillan at S2.75D. 1t is by
Wellington Brink, worker with
the Chief in the Agriculture De-
partment's Soil Conservation
Service.
Mr.. Brink has told a good tale.
and he pictures pretty well the
Chief as a man. There are stories
of his great appetite. of his COM
mon touch with the farmers Of
the country and of his ability to
dramatize his subject-soil con-
servation.
The Chiefs greatest dramatic
success. I expect, was the time he
used a duststorm gathering over
Washington to prove to con-
gressional committee the need for
an erosion survey.
DR.. Bennett has done a major
service to his country, as Mr..
Brink points out, and we have no
quarrel with his statement that
the Chief will go down in history
as one of the truly great men ct
his age.

Chess Notes

Cutcheon variation Of the French
defense against Russell Chauvenet
and beat off the attack, but used
up too much time in doing it.
Under severe time pressure, Stark
allowed his king to get into a
mating net. Chauvenet then made
the mistake often seen in these
situations, played as fast as his
opponent had to. and, instead Of
executing the checkmate, left a
rook in take and resigned. In
round 8 Chauvenet. adopting the
Dutch defense, won a 2O-move
game from John R. Rice, who was
speedily engulfed after provoking
quite unnecessary complications.
Chauvenet, with 6-3, still stands

clear because of the large number
of postponed and adjourned
games. Comdr. Charles D. Mott

I've had a suspicion all along

After three successive years of
loss to the late blight, tomato
growers along the Atlantic Sea-
board are about to ready to adopt
a regular spray program for the
protection of their plants. To-
matoes, for long, have been con-
sidered the one crop that could
be grown in the home garden
with little or no effort, but that
was before the advent of the de-
structive disease, commonly called
late blight. It attacks the stems,
foliage and fruit-producing dark,
Water-soaked appearing areas that
are irregular in outline. The death
of the vine soon follows the ap-
pearance Of these blotches. How
ever, spray OF dust containing
one of the carbamatee or metallic
copper will protect the tomato
against the disease. Most Of the
commercial sprays containing one
or more of these ingredients are
sold under trade names and carry
the statement that they will pro-
tect the vines from the late blight.
Staked plants are easier to spray
than those allowed to sprawl on
the ground. This factor might well
be taken into consideration in
planning the 1851 garden.
Gardeners should not neglect
the opportunity of accumulating
stakes and other materials to be
used in the 1851 garden. Mulch
ing materials should be high on
the priority list to cut down on
the cultivating and labor involved.
Leaves, weeds, peatmoss, sawdust,
straw and any other accessible
materials should be preserved for
such uses.
Undoubtedly more attention
will be given to the seedless water
melon, now on the market than
to the disease resistant snap beans
Contender and Topcrop, or to
the mosaic resistant cucumber,
Surecrop Hybrid, although they
are much better crops for the
home gardener. Nevertheless, the
idea of a seedless watermelon. a
japanese origination. will incite
many to attempt growing it even
though the seeds are very high
priced-10 for 81, and water
melons are difficult crop for this
area. The bean and cucumber
varieties were very good in the
trials at Beltsville last summer.
The list of recommended vege-
table varieties issued annually by
the University of Maryland will

ary /. Local gardeners might we'll

Interest IN gardening acJlVltleS
is mounting in intensity with the
arrival of catalogues and the
working out of plans for flower
and vegetable gardens. Tomorrow
the National Conference opens
and garden leaders will discuss
the food situation and what the
home gardener should do about
it. The spring flower shows start
in another month. All in all,
there are many things to think
about. But more especially we
should not overlook the potted
bulbs that are making rapid
progress and will soon be in
bloom.
Pruning and the application OF
dormant sprays should be taken
care of before spring planting be-
gins. The pruning is needed to
keep the shrubs within bounds,
keep them looking young and Wig
orous as we'll as to destroy the
wintering over homes Of insects
and diseases. And, the third OBJ
jective is to maintain the quality
of the bloom. Shrubs. including
climbing roses, produce their best
quality bloom on new wood (wood
produced the season before), al
though the bloom on two-year
wood Is almost as good. On
3-year-old and older wood the
quality of the bloom declines rap
idly. Obviously there is little
point in permitting wood 3 or 4
years old to remain.
On the first mild day in Feb
ruary when the temperature is
above freezing and likely to re-
main above freezing for "a hours,
the deciduous shrubbery and trees
should be treated to a dormant
spray to remove the scale insects
as we'll as those disease spores
which spend the winter on the
wood. There are several mate
rials suitable for this purpose
dormant strength lime-sulphur
and the miscible oils are most
commonly used. The latter re-
quires sprayer that will keep
the solution stirred. The lime
sulphur spray should not be used
near white paint for it will stain
painted surfaces badly. but 1t is
the most commonly used material
for this purpose.
Bare spots in the lawn may be
reseeded with Kentucky bluegrass
now. In fact, this is the only time
in the spring when bluegrass seed
should be sown. 1t takes nearly
month for the seed to germinate
and unless sown at this season
will not have time to become well
rooted before hot weather is due
The seed may be scattered on the
surface of the soil and the rains
will carry it down into the soil
However, If it is desired to keer
birds from eating the seed it may

OF course, dogs have reasoning
powers-they think and reason
things out many times along the
same lines as we humans do. Past
associations and memories enable
dogs to display astonishing reason
ing powers. A dog remembers past
incidents very clearly and uses
this sense to advantage. To illus
trate this thinking and reasoning
power I often cite the following
true story:
King" a collie owned by a man
in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. was
run over and injured by a speed
ing motorist. The dogs owner
rushed the injured animal to a
veterinarian who treated his in
juries and after keeping the dog
for two weeks returned him.
A year later the same veteri-
marian was surprised to see a
strange dog sitting on his doorstep.
AS he neared the animal on the
steps he recognized King, his collie
patient of over year before. AS
the doctor approached closer the
dog began to wag his tail. whine a
little and then held up his left
front paw. Taking the paw in his
hand the doctor discovered a
bleeding cut in it. He took King
inside. treated and dressed the cut
and called his master to come and
get the dog.
Now, many people will claim
that King displayed real reasoning
power to go alone to the veteri-
marian when he had injured his
paw He certainly did, but only
because he associated his former
injuries with this one doctor who
had eased his pain and made him
well.
A watchdog is a dog that watches
over his masters home and gives
the alarm promptly and vigorously
when an unauthorized stranger
approaches it. especially at night.
He is not necessarily big enough
and savage enough to tear such a
strangers throat.
In ordinary circumstances a
watchdog which weighs is pounds
or even pounds may sound an
alarm loud enough to rouse the
household.
There is an old maxim which is
100 per cent true. 1t is this: "One

There is no doubt about the
winds. They have been unusually
strong and frequent this year, and
according to Julien's poem, we
may resolve ourselves to facing
them on through next summer.
My farm jacket is getting well
ventilated with holes, and so I'm
not looking toward to the winter
winds, but I do admit there is
something to winds in summer
I'm already anticipating good,
breezy weather I can count on in
hay curing time. Nothing like q
nice, warm wind to take the mois-
ture out Of new-mown hay.
The thing that worries me
though, Is the note of warning
about those beasts. We on The 40
Acres can't afford to have any
of our beasts dying on our hands
I'll bed them extra heavy and give
them an extra handful of hay
just as a safeguard.
Before DR.. Hugh H. Bennett
chief of the Soil Conservation
Service. appeared on the agricul-
tural scene, soil was considered
to be an indestructible resource
everlasting for the use, or Ill use,
of man.

he is affectionately known,
