Field Day Planned
At Tobacco Farm

The University of Maryland will
hold a field day Friday at its to-
bacco experimental farm near Up
per Marlboro.
This will be the first field day
to display tobacco research since
the farm was acquired by the
university in 1947.
The 214 acre experimental farm
is operated by the university in
cooperation with the Agriculture
Department. This year there are
$4,000 tobacco plants being used
in research projects. Plant breed
ing, spacing, fertilization and va
riety trials will be shown in addi-
ton to crop-rotation systems, me-
chanical housing equipment and
use of heat in curing.
Beef pasture grazing trials
which are conducted at the farm
will be demonstrated. Chemical
weed control in corn, lespedeza
and red clover variety trials will
be viewed.

really doesn't like to turn on his
perfume. 1t is only done as last
resort. If you leave Mr.. Skunk
alone, he will go about his business
and be your friend.
I don't know too much about
Iskunks, but I have observed from
time to time. that when one makes
a den under the barn or the
chicken house, there is great activ-
ity about the place until the skunk
family is dispossessed. 1t may be
that most people just don't trust
the skunk, and would rather be
without his company than to take
the chance of being perfumed.
Anyway, Fulton has one in stor-
age along with his alfalfa. And
there is no chance of getting him
out until he feeds out the hay.
| 1t all ;ame about because Fulton
decided to make hay this year by
moonlight, rather than while the
isun shone. He was moving along
one night when he moved into a
skunk. Fulton was not in the line
of fire, so he didn't have to bury
his clothes, but the skunk was a
total loss.
! So much of a loss was he, that
the parts that remained got
raked up and baled with the hay.
And now that the hay is in the
barn there is that musty odor
lingering in the loft.
| And the trouble is that no one
knows which bale he is in.

Higher Demand
May Result in
Milk SHORTAGES

Increased demand for fluid
milk may cause fall and winter
milk shortages in some heavy
consumption areas, according to
IB. F. Morgan. dairy marketing
specialist at v. P. I.
He pointed out that May is one
of the flush production months,
and the overall surplus was only
1875 per cent of total deliveries,
including Government contract
sales. May was the first. month
this year that all markets had
enough deliveries from base hold
ing producers to fully supply the
Class l demand.
/ Mr.. Morgan also forecast higher
prices for fluid milk at retail later
this year.
| Average prices paid by plants
for manufacturing milk in the
January-June period this year
were 20 per cent above 1850. Dis
tributor average buying prices for
fluid milk were up per cent.
Prices Held Steady.
Market prices of dairy products
held steady during the past three
months, except for small changes
in the price of butter. This
stability indicates a strong market
MIR. Morgan said. since production
has been increasing steadily from
January through June.
| Another bright spot for the
Idairyman the milk feed ratio
went up in June. Based on Vir-
ginia prices. 100 pounds of milk
would buy 126 pounds of feed, {
pounds more than in May, and II
pounds more than June a yea1
ago.
Market prices of feed grains
and many by-product feeds de-
clined in June. The most notice
able decline was in barley ano
oats, with corn showing some
weakness.

Almost all dogs like to be given
ride in the family car. And
many readers probably take their
dogs with them when they go rid
ing these hot Sunday days. But
the suffering that many dogs en-
dure in car during warm wealth
er is really pitiful. The suffering
doesn't occur while the car is
moving, but when an inconsider-
ate owner parks his car and locks
his dog inside.
The sun beating down on a
parked car makes the interior q
furnace. Even if one window is
partly open the heat inside is un-
bearable. 1t isn't uncommon for
a dog to die from the effects OF
the terrific heat. If you must
leave your pet in the car, park it
in the shade and open all the
windows as wide as possible.
A number of letters have come
in this summer asking if a good
swim does not make a dog as
clean as does any tubing or usual
bathing. The answer is: No. The
water in the average lake or even
in a river is more or less dirty
more or less smelly. When you
bathe in such places. you get a
cleansing shower and rundown
IafterWard. Your dog can't do
that. Moreover, your skin sheds
slime and the smell of weeds and
of muck, while a dogs thick coat
holds those odors.
AS to sea-bathing for dogs the
salt water may do fearsome things
to the quality of their coats. Yet
all my dogs swim each summer
in the ocean at Cape Cod. Unlike
yourself, dogs have no way of
rinsing themselves free of this
saline deposit in a shower-bath
and a rub. when the swim is
ended.
Several thousand civilized peo-
pie living on an island in the Eng
lish Channel never saw a young
puppy until a year or so ago. They
were the inhabitants of the island
of Sark, which is perhaps one OF
the strangest places on earth
Back in 1865. Queen Elizabeth OF
England gave the island to one OF
her favorites. Sir Heller deCar-
taret. His descendants still gov
Iern it.
BY island laws, nobody but the
sovereign" may own a female dog
The present ruler is Mrs. Silby
Hathaway, Dame de Serk. Mrs,
Hathaway's father did not care
for dogs. Thus. there were nc
puppies born on Sark for many
years. Then few years ago Mrs
Hathaway imported the first fe-
male dog seen there in about sc
years. A few months later, a litter
Iof puppies was born. They were
the only puppies born there on the
island within the memory Of any
one under SO.

A Shrub for D. c. Gardens
The AbeLio Will Thrive in This Area,
Giving Color to Midsummer Borders
By W. H. Younemon
Gorden Editor

The abelia, sometimes called
bush arbutus, is top quality
shrub for the Washington area
and deserves wider use in the
home paintings. Practically an
evergreen in this area, it will, if
given too much protection, some
times freeze-back." But that is
no handicap since the removal of
some wood each spring only serves
to produce abundant new shoots.
They bear the floral display from
mid-June until frost stops fur
ther Towering.
The glossy abelia, another
common name, is a medium height
shrub that f1ouriSheS in light shade
as well as full sun. The name
glossy comes from the attractive
foliage. small, dark glossy green.
The foliage is small enough that
the abelia fits into the shrub bor-
der among evergreenS or decidu-
Gus shrubs.
In this area the abelia may
reach a height of 3 to
feet, but it may be pruned to any
height desired. In the city parks
massed paintings of the abelia
may be seen kept trimmed to a
height of 3 feet. In the infor-
NAL shrub planting where the
abelia is allowed to grow un-
trimmed the long graceful top
shoots may reach a height of
feet or more. And, in a crowded
foundation planting where the
branches reach up for sunlight a
similar height may be anticipated.
Keeps the Border Bright.
The Towering habit, mid-June
to frost as mentioned above,
should appeal to many because it
keeps the border bright even when
summer heat and drought have
checked the landscape value of
other shrubs. The small flowers
borne in small panicleS along the
side branches are not as Showy as
those of spring Towering shrubs,
but nevertheless are important.
However, few gardeners who grow
them will concede that the flowers
are the important value of this
shrub. Its all-Season Landscape
value and its adaptability are the
most important reasons for its
use.
A named variety. Edward Gou-
cher, is lower growing and is just
as hardy as the glossy abelia. 1t
should be most desirable for the
lower foundation planting.
The abelias should be purchased
as potted plants or baIled and
bagged. They may be planted
either in early spring CMarch-
ApriD or in late August and early
September. Set them in a soil

from every corner of the island to
stare at them. True, male imported
dogs were more or less. common
on Sark. But these were the first
puppies within memory of most
inhabitants.
Why is it that the favorite place
some dogs choose to lie on is the
front steps? Perhaps it is from
habit-waiting to be let inside.
But it is one habit to be discour-
aged. Not only has many a person
been seriously hurt by tripping
over a dog on the steps. but a
normally placid dog seems to de-
velop special guarding instincts
while on that perch and snaps at
visitors whom he would normally
wag his tail at if he met them any
other place on the premises.
Your dog may look attractive
stretched out on your front steps
but it is not the place for him
especially if he is one of those you
have to watch closely when
strangers are about.
@. Can you tell me how to clean
my dogs ears and keep them odor-
less?
A Ears may be cleaned with
warm olive OIL Cotton moistened
with either hydrogen peroxide or
ether is also used
@. My dog has fleas. He is only
puppy and when I put flea pow
der on him he starts to lick it off
Will that hurt him or make him
sick? Al.
A. Seldom is dog injured in
any way by licking or inhaling any
of the flea powders on the market
today, wouldn't worry about it.

New Drug Used
To 7 redt KetOsis

Research by the University OF
Maryland Agricultural Expert
'ment Station shows that ACTH-
anterior pituitary corticotropic
hormone-has an effect similar tc
cortisone in treating ketosis in
dairy COWS. Both cortisone and
ACTH have nearly miraculous ef-
fects in curing anthiritis and other
human ailments.
DR.. Joseph C. Shaw, who last
year announced the use of cor
tisone in treating ketosis, said he
has treated and cured several
cases with ACTH and found it tC
be as effective as cortisone.
The usual method of treating
ketosis-or acetonemia, as it is
sometimes called-has been glu-
cose injections. Both cortisone
and ACTH have been found to
bring about a cure. Some COWS
effectively treated with the drugs
had failed to clear up after as
many as IA gulcoSe treatments.
DR.. Shaw pointed out three ad-
.vantages to ACTH and cortisone
treatments for ketosis. The COW

that has been improved by the
addition of compost or peatmoss.
They thrive in any weil-drained
soil but do best in one that is
slightly moist. Fertilizing should
be carefully restricted to spring
applications so that the new
growth will have ample time to
mature before freezing weather
Too much or too frequent fertili-
zation is to be avoided where the
abelia is used in foundation plant
ingS.
Pruning Desirable.
The abelia may be pruned to
keep it within bounds, or if used
as a hedge to keep it to straight
lines. However, the use of the
abelia as a hedge plant is seldom
recommended in this area because
of its beauty as a foundation or
border shrub. Where grown as a
specimen shrub an annual prun-
ing in the spring which removes
the older canes is desirable so
that the bush will retain foliage
and bloom at the base.
No especial winter protection
be removed in the spring at the
time the bush is given a general
"shaping-up." In the more pro-
tected situations considerably
more winter-kill of tWigs may be
expected than on shrubs planted
in the open where fall winds will
mature the wood early.
The abelia may be propagated
from cuttings taken in the late
summer-August and September,
but they should be rooted in a
closed frame. Newly rooted plants
are tender and will need to be
carried through the winter in
cool greenhouse or heated frame
where they will be safe from
freezing.
Free of Diseases.
The abelias seem to be conSpicu-
ously free from insect pests and
diseases. They are, however, sub
ject to attack by the red spider
mite, but this universal pest may
be controlled through the use Of
any of the standard controls
hoSing with a strong blast Of
cold water, nicotine sulphate spray
or dust, hexate. etc.
With all of these virtues, COM
pact. good foliage. practically an
evergreen, adapted to sun or light
shade and long season Of bloom,
it is surprising that the abelia is
not more widely employed in the
landscaping Of the home grounds.
The foliage in fall and winter has
a pleasing bronzy tint. Th e
shrubs are practically free Of
insect and disease pests, and may
be pruned to fit almost any situa-
ton. One writer, puzzling over the
lack of greater popularity, Sug-
geSted that a new name be coined
for the abelia. Perhaps that is the
answer, but for those who have
grown and enjoyed them over the
years, the name doesn't make any
difference the abelia is a top
quality shrub for the Washington
area.
