Clipping Pastures
Is Recommended
BY the Associated Press

BLACKSBURG, Va, June 2l.-
H. L. Dunton, head Of VPI's
|agronomy department, said farm
ers should remember. weeds pay
no rent"
For that reason, he said, you
should clip your pastures to con-
troll weeds, If you haven't already
done so.
Weeds growing in pastures do
nothing but decrease grazing
capacity. which means a loss Of
money.
The time to clip is before the
weed seeds are fully developed,
Dunton said.
Dunton also noted that many
ladino orchard grass pastures
have not been grazed down this
spring. AS a result, a lot Of the
orchard grass, along with fescus
and other tall. aggressive grasses.
tend to suppress the ladino clover.
which furnishes much Of the pas
ture later in the season.
II this is happening in your
pasture. Dunton recommends you
clip the tall orchard grass to
prevent shading. At the same
time, he said, you will provide
yourself with a crop of hay.
He warns, however, If clipping
Is delayed too long, most Of its
good effects are lost.

IncneS apart 10 attain maximum
yields. There is a direct correla-
tion between the number and size
OF leaves per plant in September
and the yield Of fruit next spring.
It is good practice to remove the
spent bloom heads of lilacs and
rhododendrons. The formation of
seed takes a portion of the plants
strength and the birds scatter the
seeds so that unwanted seeding
spring up in the garden. In Sep
tember the cutting and destroying
of asparagus tops filled with seed
pods may deprive the birds of
some food, but it will save digging
and destroying many unwanted
Asparagus plants.
Now that the large-fiowered
climbing roses have finished with
their spring display. it is time to
give them an annual pruning, re-
moving from a fourth to a third of
the canes. Remove the oldest
canes. cutting them off close to
the ground. BY cutting them into
small sections they may be re-
moved fairly easily.
Succession paintings Of vege-
tables are important to have q
continuing supply Of fresh vege-
tables. Paintings Of beans and
sweetcorn are a must If the gar
den is to keep the table fully
supplied. Many gardeners put in
a planting of sweet corn each
week, others make only a few
paintings but put in several va
rites at time and in this way
insure a harvesting of longer
duration. Some varieties of beans
mature within a comparatively
short period, while others devel-
op pods over several weeks. The
varieties planted will, therefore,
determine the necessity for, and
time of planting. The main OBJ
jective is to have an adequate
supply of tender nutrious vege-
tables.
4 Now is a good time to plan the
fall garden. The success Of 1t
will depend on the timing OF the
plantings. so that the crops will
mature at the proper season. Most
of them should be cool weather
crops and need cool weather and
fall rains for best results, but
they should mature ahead of
freezing temperatures. October
20 IS the average date Of the first
killing frost in the fall. With
that date in mind, it is easy to
subtract the number Of days ii
takes a crop to mature to deter
mine the planting date.
Rose beds should be watched
for shoots originating from the
rootstock. Such shoots, If allowed
to grow unchecked, rob the
budded top and it will in time
die. The shoots of the under
stock have z to 9 parted leaves
whereas the hybrid teas have only
5 parts to their leaves. A few of
the polyanthas have z parts to
their leaves. The understock
foliage is usually duller in color
and a lighter shade of green.
When one Of the unwanted shoots
appears. grasp it firmly with a
gloved hand and rip it out-this
is preferable to cutting-W. H. Y

Insect and Disease Problems
The Introduction Of New Diseases Nav
Call for Community Control Programs
By W. n. Younqmon

This year probably will stane
out as one of new and strange
diseases in the garden. The com.
bination of a mild winter, moist
spring and a host of insect.
spreading diseases have brought
more newcomers to the Washing.
ton area than in the previou.
Is years of gardening experience
This spring the anthracnose
spot of the dogwood spread into
many gardens for the first time
1t is a disease that has been pres
ent in the South for some time
but only within the past two
years reached the Washington
area. Now it is in many gardens
Anthracnose dogwood spot is sc
new that control measures are YET
to be worked out. Preliminary
reports indicate that some of the
standard fungicides, such as
bordeaux or fermate, may be used
with a likelihood of checking, il
not controlling, the disease.
DR.. George r. Gravatt, forest
pathologist at the Beltsville Plant
Industry Station. reports that a
disease of the sweetgum tree has
been discovered near College Park,
and is killing trees in that area.
It is another newcomer and con-
troll measures have yet to be
worked out. This is a disheart-
ening discovery because many
local gardeners have looked on
the sweetgum as a most desirable
small shade tree for the home
grounds.
Tulip Poplar Disease.
Gardeners in nearby Montgom-
cry County have reported q dis
ease affecting the tulip poplar
trees. They report that a dirty
black, sticky discharge is found
beneath affected trees. Some trees
are said to have died from the
disease.
The black. sooty mold is fun
gus that lives on the secretions Of
aphids. If the poplars were not
so tall, 1t would be practical to use
Ia nicotine sulphate spray, which
should clear up the trouble. This,
however, would require special
spray equipment.
The tulip scale is becoming more
serious now that DDT is widely
used. This chemical kills the ma
tural enemies of the aphids.
The azalea petal blight has been
brought to the Washington area
on plants from the South. This
disease is not new to the South.
It was first introduced into the
United States in 1881 and has
spread far through the movement
of plants. It may be controlled
by using Dithane D-14, Dithane
Z-78. and Parzate. Dithane D-14
is not readily available to gar
deners in small quantities in this

ICore in Taking
Plant Samples
|Aids PuthoIoQists

Farmers and gardeners who
send plant specimens to plant
pathologists for Identification of
diseases. and recommendations
for control, can speed up the work
and make it more efficient by fol-
lowing a few general rules.
S. B. Femme, Virginia plant
Ipathologist says the service
whereby plant diseases are identi-
fled not only helps pathologists
to keep informed concerning dis
eases, but also aids in controlling
them. Since the pathologist de-
pends on good specimens for an
accurate diagnosis, it is important
that certain steps be followed by
persons sending in specimens.
Collect Entire Plant.
Collect the whole diseased plant.
if practical.
Wrap green or tender plants in
moist paper or cloth, place them
inside paper box and mail at
once. Write your name and ad-
dress plainly on the package.
IT large leaves. such as those Of
tobacco. are to be mailed. first
press them and then lay them be-
tween pieces of cardboard, or other
stiff material. for mailing.
Send some of the affected leaves
and branches from trees and
shrubs; but examine the entire
plant for other indications of dis
ease. If different symptoms are
found on other parts of the tree,
report them, and if practical send
specimens.
Diseased Wood Necessary.
In the case of willis, such as
maple with, Dutch elm disease or
oak wilt, it is necessary to send
small lengths of living diseased
wood. Select green wood that
shows dark discoloration UNDER
meath the bark. Dead wood is not
suitable for making a proper di-
agnosis. Usually about six such
small branches, about one-half
inch In diameter and about six
inches long, are enough.

age and in it describe the symp-
toms of the trouble as accurately
as possible, contrasting these
plants with the healthy ones as to
size, shape and color. State the
extent Of injury in the field. Name
the variety Of the crop and state
whether or not the seed was
treated. Give as much additional
history of the case as seems i'm

area. Sprays should be directed
to the buds and blooms every
other day during the spring, with
plenty Of the material falling onto
the litter beneath the bushes. This
disease, which causes spots to ap-
pear on the bloom, causing them
to collapse and hang as if they
had been scalded, is difficult to
eradicate because it is spread by
insects.
A Fungus Disease.
Many azalea plants are showing
a gall-like growth on the leaves
This is a newcomer. It is a fungus
disease that is not serious and it
is best controlled by removing and
destroying infected leaves. Ap-
parently the fungus is active only
in the spring and is not likely to
reappear during the summer or
fall. Through sanitation, it can
be eliminated.
The blister leaf disease Of the
oak. common to the South, has
been found in the Washington
area. It, too. is a fungus disease
that causes gall-like growths on
the leaves. The leaves. however,
are not thickened as when at
tackled by gall insects. The dis
ease appears only in the spring,
so that when discovered there is
no point in spraying the trees.
However, should it reappear again
next spring and become more
widespread. a dormant spray in
the early spring before the buds
begin to unfold may be war
ranted.
The diseases mentioned above
are newcomers and point to a new
phase of garden disease control.
The average gardener is not
equipped with power sprayers
that will reach tall-growing shade
trees. Now that diseases are at
tacking most kinds of trees, it is
important that we extend to our
trees the same kind of protection
that we have given our roses and
other garden plants.
A Job for Experts.
Because of the special equip
ment required, it may become
necessary to call on commercial
operators, with the best materials
obtainable and qualified crews to
do the job. It is not enough to
have a sprayer. It must be op-
Grated effectively to give the nec-
essary protective coating to the
foliage. The most effective fungi
cideS and insecticides also must
be used. It is one thing to put
a good fungicide on the foliage,
but while we are at it we might
as well put on an insecticide for
the bugs that spread the diseases.
No doubt if the garden clubs
would take the leadership in Or
ganizing a spray program in their
communities. a qualified CONNER
cial spraying outfit would soon be
located to do the job Of protecting
our trees. Such program might
stop unwanted visitors before they
become established.
Healthy, vigorous trees and
plants are less likely to fall VIC
Tins to diseases than are UNDER
nourished trees. Feeding and
otherwise caring for our shade
trees is important. Regular feed
ing is seldom practiced, but it
should be because the feeding area
of the lawn trees is so often re-
stricted. Apply fertilizers to shade
trees in the early spring.
Evening star., 1952-06-22
This Week in the Garden

Some Of the aZaleaS are showing
gall-like growthS on the leaves.
This is a new condition and is
causing concern. It Is caused by
Ia fungus and should be pruned out
and destroyed to prevent spread.
While it is primarily a spring
problem, it is good sanitation
practice to remove diseased leaves
at all times. In this way the
disease may be controlled.
1t is time for the final pinching
|of chrysanthemums to stimulate
bushy plants with a mass of flow
ers. Well-branched plants make
the best display in the border and
still provide sprays for indoor dec
grafton. In pinching. cut off each
tip an inch or more depending
upon the vigor of the growth.
Now is good time to weed the
perennial border and to give it a
good thick cover of mulch. Par
tally rotted compost may be used
for this purpose. but there are
many other materials that will
serve the purpose-use the one
available. Pine needles. .sawdust,
ground corncobs and dried grass
clippings are all useful.
Employ q layer thick enough to
smother out the weeds and grass.
This will vary according to the
kind Of mulching material used.
"A pinch layer of sawdust, a s.
inch layer Of grass clippings.
1t will soon be time to cover
blueberry bushes with netting or
a screen to protect them from the
birds. Cheesecloth sewed into q
hood, with a substantial frame to
hold it firmly to the ground, will
serve the purpose. If the cover is
too thickly woven it will exclude
the sunlight and prevent the fruit
from properly developing.
A frame covered with screen
wire also is effective. but this re-
quires more work and expense
Hardware cloth tackled to a frame

1t was during President Cool
idge'S administration that the
Government had its first $5 bill
lion budget. Look at it today
upward of eighty billions. The
vast expansion of Government
services to the people beginning
with the Franklin D. Roose-
velt regime is part of the rea-
son; the other is the leadership
this Nation fell heir to in the
world growing out of the Second
World War.
It is like thumbing back
through an old family album to
recall now how President Cool
1dge, who liked to be known for
his economy, held a contest
among the then small White
House staff for ways to reduce
expenses Of the Executive Of
flee. The SIS prize went to
veteran employe who suggested
that paper be used on both sides
and pencils down to the ultl-
mate stub.
Some economies, if not to that
niggardly point, might be ex-
pected also from Gov. Adams,
since he also is in the New Eng
land tradition. His first job is
likely to be a reorganization
of the Office for better coordina-
tion of the agencies with which
it deals, and a re-grouping of
some of them.
To this and his administrative
role he comes we'll equipped
from his career as businessman
and Governor. For the more
political aspects of his task, he
brings talents tested by expert
ence in his States legislature,
where he was Speaker Of the
House, in a term in the House
here. in his tenure as Governor,
in organizing and getting off
to a triumphant start the Eli
senhower boom for the presi-
dency in the first primary
which was held in his State, and

vention and his job as chief Man

strument to be used by any
armed service just as is a piece
of artillery. The important fac
tor to be borne in mind is that
skill in using an airplane is by
itself valueless for the Navy I'M
less the aviator is trained to
work from a ship and hence is
qualified to understand the well
fare of ships at sea. This is
especially important in anti
submarine tactics carried on
from the air.
It would indeed be a waste
of time and money to give all
aviators training in the Navy
and also in ground warfare and
in strategic warfare just because
they all use airplanes.
This is still an age of speciali-
zation in the armed forces. The
Marines are trained for am
phibious landings and they have
their own efficient aviation be-
cause ground and air work
closely together. The Army up
to the end of World War II,
had its own tactical aviation
units which worked closely with
the ground troops. Then came
the Air Force asking for inde-
pendent status with it's special
ty strategic warfare - which
means long-range bombing of
industrial as we'll as military
targets but primarily the fac
tories and supply depots of the
enemy. Tactical air for the
Army was deliberately neglected
with the excuse that money had
to go for strategic air bombers.
Yet in the face of that error in
judgment the United States Air
Force now wants to swallow up
the aviation units of all three
armed services.
The famous controversy over
the B-36s was primarily a row
started by the Air Force in order
to cut down appropriations for
Naval aircraft carriers, particu-
larly the so-called super-carrier.
Since that time-1949-the Ko-
rean war has happened. The
B-36s have not proved to be
