Trees and green plants and leaf
age are natures natural air con-
ditioning for out-of-doors and Key
West can use more and more of
them on every street and around
every house and public building.
The importance of trees and
greenery is being recognized in
many other places even where
they aren't definite necessity as
they are here in Key West. All of
the new housing developments in
New York and New Jersey are
built around parks and play.
grounds and trees are maintained
at regular intervals on all the st.
area.
That, of course brings up the
problem of sidewalks. and the fact
that the roots of trees often tear
and break up the surrounding
sidewalks. New York and New Jer-
sey have solved that problem by
using the English Plane tree or sy-
camore and the ghinko. both of
which have narrow root systems
which do not interfere with the cell
lar plumbing and the sidewalks.
There must be some trees that
can be planted along our streets
that have narrow tap roots that
will not interfere with the side
walks, and a little research should
bring them to light.

For Monroe County voters the
big show took place Oh May 6. To-

Campaign workers for the two
Democratic candidates were busy
carrying voters to the polls. But
even they could not stir up lively
interest among them.
The Board Of Canvassers will
start counting the vote tomorrow

from the Keys three precincts are
brought down.
Only 1873 absentee votes, by mail
and in person will be counted. This
is the number that got in before

Conservation Stressed

Members of the Maryland
Association of Soil Conservation
districts are making plans to en-
courage the teaching of conser-
vation in all schools throughout
Maryland.
Based on recommendation of
the educational committee of the
association, members approved
resolutions to establish a pro-
gram that would "stress conserva-
tion education; acquaint teachers
with the terms and application of
every phase of conservation as
applied to Maryland farm lands
and make it the duty of soil con-
servation district supervisors to
"acquaint others with their pur-
poses and goals"

Conservation Plan
Found to Pay Way
On MARYLAND Farm

WESTMINSTER, Md.-Th e
rains came last spring. pouring
better than six inches Of water on
the steep and rolling farms that
belong to James M. Shriver near
here. But the land held. Here
was positive proof Of the effective
ness Of an applied conservation
plan.
A few years ago. Mr.. Shriver
said, far less water than fell last
spring would have wrecked havoc
to the cultivated fields; would
have flooded the creeks and
washed tons Of soil into the
streams and onto the roadways.
Mr.. Shriveer is president of the
B. F. Shriver Canning Co. here,
and farms more than 1000 acres
of rolling land. His land produces
vegetables for the cannery-peas,
beans and tomatoes-and Hereford
and Angus cattle for the markets.
During the last IA years the farms
have been gradually contoured|
and stripped, until now almost
every acre Of the Shriver farms
are titled under conservation
plans.
Rewards Can Be Seen.
"I can see the rewards of con-
|Servation with my own eyes and
feel them in my wallet-and to a.
businessman-farmer the wallet is
where it counts" Mr.. Shriver said.
II can recall rainy nights when
I couldn't sleep for worrying about
what was happening in my fields.
But now, I just turn over on the
other side and let it rain. I know
the land will hold and the soil will
remain where it belongs-around
the roots of my tomatoes and
other crops"
Active in the conservation
movement since it began in the
E1930's. Mr.. Shriver heads the
Maryland Chapter, Friends Of the
Land and heads that organiza-
tion's participation in a new action
program in Maryland called "Con-
servation Now" He was one of
the first to establish a conser-
walton demonstration project.
when the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice started work in Carroll County
in 1888.
A Love For The Land.
Mr.. Shriver has inherited a deep
love of his native Maryland land.
His family settled near Union
Mills in the 1700's, and the
IShriver farming enterprise began
in 1868, five years after the Con-
federate Cavalry under Gen. Early
Icamped near the Shriver mill on
the road to Gettysburg.
Incidentally, the old mill still
stands, as solid as a rock, but still
now. It's wheels stopped their
grinding in 1880.
One of the most important ef-
fects of conservation farming, Mr..
Shriver thinks, is the build-up of
organic matter in the soil. He
contrasts the caked and parched
earth he used to find around his
crops with the moist, spongy soil

This Week in the Garden

Now is the time to sow seeds
of turnips, garden peas, kale.
spinach, winter radishes and WIN
ter keeper beets for fall harvests.
Many other crops can be grown
for late harveStS, but planting
should be timed so that maturity
is before freezing weather is ex-
pected.
August is the month in which to
lift and divide, propagate, or buy
oriental poppies. While dormant
they are easily handled, but in
September when the new growth
is taking place. disturbance may
be fatal.
Plant them in any well-drained
soil and in a sunny situation
Oriental poppies improve with age,
a mature clump producing many
stems of fine large blooms. The
Oriental poppies are not often
troubled with insects or diseases
but they cannot Withstand wet
soils.
Now is the time to take cuttings
of azaleas and many other ever
greens for roofing in sand, or sand
and peatmoss. The cuttings should
be 3 to 6 inches in length and
of new wood (wood that was
formed this season.. Remove the
lower leaves and place in a shady
situation where, protected from
drying winds. the cuttings may
be kept moist but not wet.
Rose growers with budding
stock should be able to insert the
buds at this season. However, the
growing of roses from cuttings is
Ia satisfactory and worthwhile

mitted that it takes longer to get

the cuttings are placed in light
shade, no shading of the jar will
be necessary. Keep the soil moist
but not wet.
IF grass seed Is to be sown In
late August or early September

of Guernseys, and last winter he
fed 800 head of Santa Gertrudis
(Shorthorn-Brahma cross) cattle
for the King Ranch of Texas.
And keeping abreast of the
times, the farms are now expert
Imenting with irrigation. Huge
aluminium pipes carry water from
the creek and from two farm
ponds to pastures and vegetable
crops to insure moisture in times
of drought.
There is evidence on all sides
that the Shriver farms will re-

that he finds there now at any
season in the year.
There was a time, too, when
Pipe and Deep Run Creeks,
which come together in my bot
tom pasture, would rise after the
smallest rains and flood my barns.
That hasn't happened now for a
long time. Not since conservation
has been spreading among the
farms along the creeks"
Like many other farmers in the
area, Mr.. Shriver has joined the
move toward more grassland. In
addition to his Hereford and
Angus herds, there is a dairy herd

Heat combined with dry soil can
be fatal to newly set trees and
shrubs. Heavy watering every
two weeks during August and Sep
tember is needed unless rains are
abundant. Heavy watering means
applying sufficient moisture to
soak the ground to a depth of
about eight inches. If there is a
basin 2 feet wide and 2
inches deep about each of the
trees and shrubs, fill to the brim.
If a sprinkler is used set a pan
or tin can near the shrub and
when there is 2 inches of water
in the can the sprinkler has run
long enough. Use a mulch or
piece of burlap to prevent the
soil around the shrubs from bak-
ing and crusting. w. H. Y.

New Type Paint
Is Selling Briskly
At $500 A Gallon

DuPont's paint plant at Phila-
delphia is meeting sizeable pro-
0uction schedules on a genuinely
unique kind of paint with a name
eQualled only by its SIS a gallon
cost - "Tetion" polytetrafuorO-
ethylene finish.
"Teflon" finish is well worth it's
high cost for several reasons, most
remarkable of which is that prac-
tically nothing will stick to it, It
is being tested. therefore, as a
coating on bread baking pans be-
cause the pans require no greasing
before each bake. Elsewhere in
bakeries where busting with -four
has been required to prevent dough
from sticking, "TeflOn" has solved
the problem and increased output
in doing so.
Engineers, particularly in the
packaging industry or wherever
adhesives are used, have long been
occupied with the problem of glue
sticking to machine parts prevent
ing accurate and efficient opera
ton.
A similar headache exists else
where in industry where sticky
substances such as powdered soap
rubber, candy, and frozen foods are
Milford chronicle., 1952-10-17

apt to cling to the smoothest metal
surfaces. "TefOn" finishes seem to
be the cure to these costly trou-
bles-cheap even at 20 cents per
tablespoonful
The finish is a water suspension
of a DuPOnt-invented plastic witch
has such high chemical, heat, and
moisture resistance it is also used
to prevent corrosion of equipment
and as electrical wire insulation.
1t is an inherently expensive
material to produce and will pro-
badly never reach a price level
that would qualify it as a consum-
er product. Moreover, the finish
must be fused at about $50 degrees
F. in special equipment.
Consumers may benefit directly,
however, in scores of possible ap-
/ plications now under study such
as muffin pans, tunnels. rolling
pins and measuring cups. Heat
seaIers, for freezer packages coated
with "TeflOn" have already been
introduced.

car was fitted with special controls
to enable him to drive
The young girl said she was get
