Well chosen shrubs can and will

Animal Bruises
cause Enormous
Loss to Shippers

BLACKSBURG, Va, Mar. TO-
It pays to be kind to dumb ami
mals-especially livestock.
g. G. Herring, extension ami
NAL husbandman at Virginia
Tech, said 1t can cost a live
stock producer IS just to whip
a hog.
What he means is that a farm
er's income can be increased II
livestock are handled carefully and
not bruised in shipment to market
or the slaughter house.
Bruises on animals can result
in down grading lof the carcass
or that a perfectly good ham
except for a bruise stripe no wider
than pencil mark-must be
ground up for sausage.
Mr.. Herring said that a few
years back the National Livestock
Loss Prevention Board estimated
American farmers lost $25 million
annually because of livestock in
juries. This loss, of course. is
partly passed along to the con-
sumner in the form of higher meat
prices and partly absorbed by the
farmer.
Many Injured in Shipment.
The animal husbandman said
enough dead animals arrive at
markets over the Nation to fill
a train 8 miles long. This loss
does not include the bruised or
crippled animals, many of which
received injury in shipment.
He said tests conducted by the
board during 1948-9 of Ills cat
tie selected at random showed SO
per cent suffered bruises. About
80 per cent of the bruises were
on the hips. 20 per cent on the
shoulders. IA per cent on the
rumps and 10 per cent on the
backs.
Overcrowding, humping and
rushing caused Ga per cent Of the
bruises; trampling caused 16 per
cent, canes, whips and clubs &C
counted for 10 per cent and horn
injuries amounted to per cent
The average monetary loss for
the injured head was $5.98.
A similar test was run on 2,205
pork carcasses and it was found
that "a per cent of the hogs were
bruised; 10 per cent Of the fat
backs. 10 per cent Of the hams
and 4.6 per cent of the bellies.
Beating Causes Loss.
Cane, whip or club bruises &C
counted for ~ per cent of the
total, while kicking caused 20 per
cent and crowding and trampling
IS per cent.
Approximately 81 per cent Of
the bruises were man-inflicted,
Mr.. Herring noted.
Average loss per head slaugh-
tered because of bruising was 1874
cents of which 81 cents was trim
and 7.3 cents down-grading loss.
Both rail and truck transporta-
ton was used in taking the ami
mails to market.
Mr.. Herring said Virginia farm
ers could prevent the losses from
injuries by dehorning cattle. re-
moving projecting nails from pens,
feed racks and animals quarters,
keeping old machinery out of feed
lots and not feeding grain heavily
prior to leading.
He also suggested using canvas
slappers instead of clubs and canes
in driving livestock, not over
crowding in transit, loading and
unloading slowly, partitioning
boards, stays and cripples and in
specting the load en- route to pre-
vent trampling.

By W. H. Younemon

Most gardeners buy a tree or
shrub and then hunt for a place
in which to plant 1t. But today
many home owners are seeking a
planting plan for the new place,
a plan for the home grounds. For
them, the plan given above does
two things. First, it is flexible
one which should be modified to
meet the needs of the owner. If
more garden space is needed, the
lawn area may be decreased or
flowers may be substituted for
vegetables.
Secondly. the plan gives q sug-
gested planting scheme. with the
kinds suggested for a house facing
north or east and, for one facing
south or west. Obviously, the
gardener will have a wider choice
of plants for a house facing east

a steady high temperature, while
others need a steady low tenn

May. Try a few of the newer
and better varieties.

bulbs, plants produce the large

gives satisfactory results in this
area.
Buy the smaller sets-less than
"a inch In diameter. Larger sets
seldom develop. but go to seed
instead. White sets seem to be
more susceptible to bulb rots than
are the yellow or red sets.
Plant the sets and plants in a
shallow trench If bulbs are to be

cover the tops of the corms which
are planted with the concave sur
face up. Water lightly until the
new leaves appear. They need to
be in a warm place for best re-
suits and only warm water should
be used.
At this season, when the urge
to get on with the planting Is
pressing, there is considerable
danger Of working the soil while
1t is too wet. To test soil for
its condition, pick up a handful
and squeeze. Then strike the ball

trowel. If it crumbles Under the
blow, it is ready for working. II
the blow only dents the ball, the

unnecessary precaution but soil

is recommended in preference to

This Week in the Garden

It's planting time for: Roses
shrubs, trees, perennials, straw
berry plants. asparagus roots and
peas. radish, lettuce and onions
{sets and plants. Get them into
the ground as early as you can, il
workable, but put them in well
prepared soil if you would have
desirable results. The onions
need a sweet soil, but avoid over
lining. The shrubs, trees. roses
and perennials that go into per-
manent situations need a soil
that is well enriched with humus,
soil that has been deeply dug
so as to provide a good root
run" Remember the stock
phrase. TITS better to put a So
cent plant in a dollar hole than to
put a 81 plant In a 50-cent hole"
Now is good time to sort out
gladiolus corms, setting aside the
cormels - baby corms - for i'm
mediate planting. If put into the
ground at this season they will
make good growth and produce
bloom the first season. Many
gardeners regularly buy cormels
of the newer, higher priced varie-
ties as an economy measure. Any
way, it is an easy method to
rapidly increase the supply of de-
sirable varieties.
Many gardeners buying head
lettuce seed always ask for Ice
berg, that is a common name ap-
piled to hard-headed lettuce va
rieties. Eighty per cent of the
head lettuce marketed today is
Great Lakes or some selected
strain Of it. Maryland horticul-
turists recommend Penn Lakes
However. DR.. Thompson. the spe-
cialist in lettuce work at Beltsville,
calls attention to the flavor of
lettuce and advises those who en-
joy good flavor to use one Of the
older Butter-head varieties. They
will not be as firm, nor will they
get as large, but they will do better
under our conditions, If planted
early. Good Butter-head type va
rieties are: Way-a-Head, White
Boston, May King and Big Boston.
FertiliZe lettuce with a 5-10-5
mixture at planting time, keep 1t
cultivated, thin to 6 to 10 inches
and supply sufficient moisture to
keep growing vigorously in a soil
that is only slightly acid, Is DR..
Thompson's recommendation.

Senator J. J. Williams
Says States Share Of
Budget May Reach
Half Million Mark.

Delaware taxpayers will have to
pay $5OO,OOO,OO0 more in federal
taxes next year than in 1850 if the
Presidents present budget is ap-
proved and Congress puts the gov
ernment on a "pay-as-you-go" ba-
sis, Senator John j. Williams, (R-
Deb said this week.
Senator Williams, pointing out
that the total of all budget requests
and authorizations sent to Congress
for the 1852 fiscal year now amount
to 95 billion dollars, said that Della
wares share of such a federal bud
get would be S874,00O,0OO.
On PrOpOTtiOnAte Basis
That is based on the proportion
ate share of federal taxes which
Delaware citizens and corporations
pay.
In 1850 Delawareans paid $685.
100000 in federal taxes.
The budget for the fiscal year
starting July l was just over II
billion dollars. Delaware's share of
that budget amounts to $685., 500, 600,
according to Senator Williams cal
culations.
Placed In Record
The Delaware senator, impressed
by the figures for Delaware, went
ahead and computed them for the
other AZ states Of the Union, and
placed them II, the Congressional

The appointment of Collins J.
Seitz as chancellor was confirmed
by the State Senate early last Sat
urday morning, nearly IL hours
after the senator's convened.
The vote on confirmation was
taken in executive session at 1:25
a. m, and was reported to be unani-

Republicans were present: other
Republicans had gone home.
During the long delay in action
on the appointment, it was re-
ported that there was considerable
opposition to the appointment, es-
pecially among Kent and Sussex
County senators, on the basis Of
Chancellor Seitz's Outspoken anti

Chancellor Seitz, nominee of Gov
