Tree Is Hazard
In Electric Storm

Don't use q tree as protection
in Q storm.
Such Is the advice Of L. I.
Cobb. area representative Of the
Davey Tree Expert Co., who
points out a big tree with roots
deeply embedded in moist soil
Is a prime target for lightning.
Matter Of fact. almost any tree is
a natural collector Of these bolts.
Many people die each summer
from lightning strikes. and much
property Is damaged. Livestock
are particularly vulnerable since
they are apt to huddle under
trees and near wire fences. Par
ticularly In the open country,
picnickers should avoid wire
fences. These fences frequently
are nailed to trees. They act as
conductors Of the terrific elec-
trical charges when such trees
are hit. Contact with them can
lead to electrocution.
Trees are also a hazard to the
motorists who park under them
during summer storms. Autos are
insulated from the ground by the
rubber tires. But they may be
struck by falling trees and
branches.
Limited areas can be well-pro-
tected against lightning, along
with favorite trees. Rodding the
talleSt trees provides a s'cone of
protection" for surrounding areas.

Protect Hogs
Against Heat

Death losses Of hogs en- route to
market Is high in the summertime
Such losses can be reduced BY
making hogs comfortable while
they are being hauled to the
market.
Amos r. Meyer, marketing
specialist at the University OF
Maryland. states that extra care
should be taken to protect hogs
going to the market. Following is
"a list Of eight precautions pre-
pared by Mr.. Meyer that will helr
get hogs to market safely:
/. Be sure hogs are loaded into
"a truck with a regular stock body
that permits free flow of air.
2. Clean the truck of any ma
nure and bed it with sand.
8. Wet down the sand thorough
" before loading hogs.
4. Cover the top Of the truck
rack with . tarpaulin to provide
shade.
5. Do not overfeed hogs before
loading.
6. Load the truck so all the hogs
can lie down without piling up.
4. Stop the truck en- route to
market to check the condition OF
hogs.
8. Wet down the sand en- route
II hogs are excessively warm.

surface Of the leaves. Then the
spots increase in size and turn
black. Frequently more than half
of the leaf surfaces are affected

OF Virginia's top Aberdeen-Angus
beef herds.
Red Gate also Is the home Of
Imported Prince of Rowley. who
came to this country from Scot
land in 1916, and whose influence
on the Angus breed in this section
has since been considerable.
Edward Jenkins. Red Gates

Perth show and sale as a yearling.
He came from a small but excel

Something Of Character.
During his years at Red Gate,
Prince has become something of q
character. He will stand for hours

From an economic standpoint,
Prince deserves the praise. At the

And before that, in 1851, As

cause Of high temperatures. FREE

tivation that cuts feeding roots

about the temperatures or rain

Onion harvesting should be
started as soon as the tops fall
over. Because the soils are hot
and moist the mature onions
should be dug and dried in the
shade. Current advice Is to wait
until the tops fall over naturally,
rather than to hurry the tardy
ones by knocking them over with
the back of a rake. Store the
cured onions in q well ventilated
place.
During periods Of high tenn

should be harvested while still
immature in order to retain good
quality. This Is especially true Of
cabbage, beets and carrots, crops
that sre at their best In cool
weather.
One Of the reasons the lower
leaves of chrysanthemums turn
brown is that insects, such as the
tarnished plant bug and red
spider mites, suck the sap. Where
this condition exists the plants
should be busted with DDT (5%)'

tarnished plant bug also attacks
roses. asters. potatoes, and even

New Soil Conditioners
They May Become Aids to Gardening,
But All the Answers Have Not Been FoundI
By w. H. Younsmon
Gordsn Editor

Everybody is talking about the
new soil conditioners. Spread "X'
material on your garden and grow
tons Of vegetables. Sprinkle *"
material on your dried-up lawn
and watch it change overnight
into beautiful velvety lawn with
no work or bother.
Is there anything to the dozen
or so soil conditioners now being
offered to the gardener?
The experiment stations are en-
thusiastic over their preliminary
work on these materials. but they
don't consider them miracles, or
cure-alls, or substitutes for good
cultural practices. They believe
these materials will help to i'm
prove the physical properties Of
heavy clay soils which pack, bake
and crust badly. It is unlikely
that they will be Of much value
on sandy soils or on soils which
are already in good tilth. How
ever. much needs to be learned
before too many definite state
ments can be made.
Results Expected.
The main results to be expected
from soil conditioners, and by the
way, the soils people at Beltsville
do not like the name "soil condi-
TONERS" preferring to call them
&C hemical soil aggregating
agents." are to create an open
porous soil structure, prevent sur
face crusting. increase absorption
Of water by the soil. decrease
runof and erosion, improve drain
age and aeration and increase
the friability so that the soil may
be more easily worked. Anything
that could accomplish all of these
improvements in our clay soils
should merit the term miracle
soil conditioner"
However, as indicated above,
they are new. We have not had
them long enough for adequate
testing. There is much to learn
about the methods Of application.
The when and how are still to be
determined.
Guides to the User.
Several things are being re-
ported that will serve as a guide tol
the user. In the first place. the

concentration and should be mixed
into the soil to that depth. A
surface application will not change
the soil structure down one inch.
These materials are highly aka
line. The safe application is be-
tween .05 and i per cent by
weight. A cubic foot Of soil weighs
between 10 and 100 pounds. Thus.
to treat q square foot Of soil to a
depth Of 4 inches would take less
than S ounces Of full-strength ma
terial. But, some Of the con-
ditioners have been diluted with a
filler to keep the material from
caking. Others are in solution to
facilitate spreading. Obviously.
the gardener should carefully OBJ
serve the rates Of application to
avoid creating an alkaline or toxic
condition Of the soil.
Mix the materials thoroughly
with the soil so that soil aggregat-
ing will take place. This cannot
be done in a wet soil. and good re-
suits are hard to obtain In q very
dry soil.
Because these materials are
highly alkaline. care should be
taken to avoid getting them on the
skin. Wash thoroughly after the
job is completed to avoid skin ir-
ritation.
Tests Cited.
Tests at Ohio State University
show it is not possible to get soil
conditioners applied In water to
penetrate more than q fraction
of an inch into the soil. This in
dicates that the powder forms are
likely to more nearly meet the
needs Of gardeners who wish to
improve the texture Of their soils
4 inches deep or more.
However. since we have so little
information to guide US In using
the soil conditioners. gardeners
who do not wish to wait for COM
prehenSive experimental trials
may conduct their own expert
ments. They might try several
small trial applications to limited
areas. each handled In q different|
way.

with her. They were close friends"
The secretary had followed us upstairs and
Webster called her in from the hallway. He
introduced her as Miss Ann Foster, and said
that she had found the body.
Ann Foster was TALL dark, graceful and
competent looking. At that moment, how
ever, she looked as though she needed some
one to hold her up. She avoided looking at the

Marty left an officer in the room with orders
that nothing was to be touched. Then we all

simpler than the explanation. There had been
buffet dinner for the approximately twenty
guests who were all intimate friends. They
had turned on the radio and started dancing.
MIR. Webster had figured that this was good
time to throw things into high gear with the
dual announcement that his daughter was
soon to marry Paul Duncan, and that as a
wedding present he was making Duncan a
Junior partner in his firm.
But Sharon Webster wasn't in the room.
They called her and there was no answer. Mr..
Webster asked Ann Foster to see whether she
was upstairs and Ann had gone up. Almost
instantly they heard her scream. They had
rushed upstairs. She was standing in the hall
staring through the doorway into Sharon's
room. Marty said, Things had been quiet
down here when Miss Foster went upstairs?"
Webster nodded. He explained that they
had cut off the radio before Ann went up
stairs, as he had been about to make the an
nouncement for which the party had been
planned.

Lieut.. Walsh, but MIR. Webster cut off that
line of thinking. He said. There was no shot,

one remembered just how long Sharon had
been out of the room. Marty and looked at

"Why not?"
Because I'm afraid know who killed her."
Instantly the buzz of conversation died.

MARTY WALSH took over, demanding an

wanted but not arrested. His description was
broadcast but they didn't have pictures or
fingerprints. There was warrant out for
