Illegal Still Seizures
In State Show Gains
AS BOOtleggers Flourish

Statistics released this week by
the State Licensed Beverage Asso-
citation show that bootlegging is
back in business in the State-at
least as far as the increase in the
number of seized illegal stills is
concerned.
The Association said 90 stills
were seized in Maryland last year,
compared to a the year before.
AS matter of fact, the Associa-
tion's records show steady in
increase in the number of stills
seized annually since 1947.
In that year - were clamped
down on by the law. In 194S.
there were 80 seized and in 1919,
the total was 40.
The Association pointed out that
Senator Herbert R. O'Conor of the
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee, has warned that boot
Logging is back as big business
throughout the United States. He
said the increase in the bootleg
ging racket can be attributed to
the heat" on gambling and mar
cotics. Senator 0'Conor said
'racketeers are depending on in

their other losses"

Fertilizer
On lute Gurden

When q long drought is followed
by substantial rains. home garden
Iers are generally surprised by the
rapid growth Of crops and are led
to believe their soil is rich enough
to produce good crops during the
remainder Of the growing season
This is rarely true. since spring
crops have used up the plant food
applied in March or April.
Specialists point out that, with
the shortening days Of late sum-
mer, crops that need to mature be-
fore frost tend to slow their growth
simply because there are fewer
sunny hours. For two reasons,
then. it is advisable to refertilize
garden soil for fall crops.
Where there is an abundance
OF decayed manure, a good dress
ing Of this turned under can't be
beaten as preparation for fall
crops. This organic matter will
help crops endure dry weather in
September and October.
Commercial chemical fertilizers
can produce all the actual plant
foods that late vegetables need,
the specialists say. So-called COM
plete fertilizer mixtures like 5-10-5
can be broadcast and mixed with
the soil before it is turned or
spaded, at the rate of two pounds
for 100 square feet. Twice as much
can be used for salad and green's
crops, including turnips, mustard,
kale. lettuce, Chinese cabbage, and
also for cabbage and broccoli.

Ancient and Honorable Scythe Picked
As Times Symbol for Good Reason

The scythe is an ancient and
honorable instrument, and I am
glad that it is so. I also under

end of a scythe handle. why it is
the symbol Of Father Time. For
il I had to do an appreciable
amount Of cutting with a scythe

I'm in that process now. One

trimming and cutting with ma
chinery. There are going to be
no more little corners and hard
places where the weeds
can grow tall and tough and have
to be treated with the scythe.
1t is hard to believe that so
many years ago all of the hay
that was put up in the summer
was cut by men swinging scythes.
And that all Of the small grains
were cut by men swinging the
scythe's first cousin, the cradle.
There is an art in the use OF
both the scythe and the cradle.
You must have a certain swing,
and with the cradle, you must
be able to carry through with the
cut grain and lay it in windrows
SO that it can be easily picked
up into bundles.
In some Of the out-of the way
places, where fields are steep and
small, the cradle is still in use.
Not too many years ago I watched
a man swinging cradle in a small
field of buckwheat down in the
mountains. Every action was as
smooth and as regular as the
pendulum of a grandfather clock.

This Week in the Garden

The cool weather of last week
seemed to call for a showdown in
fall planting, but such is hardly
the case. There are still many
weeks of growing weather ahead
and we can still plant and harvest
many crops. It is a matter OF re-
cord that garden peas have been
planted on Labor Day and still
matured excellent crops. Spinach,
kale, lettuce, radishes and several
others can be planted. The main
thing is to put them into well-pre-
pared soil and keep them moist
and well fed for rapid growth.
September is daffodil- planting
time and we should be getting our
orders off for those new varieties
that will give us finer blooms. The
daffodil parade is growing one
and, of course, we do not have
space for just ordinary varieties.
We should use our limited area to
the best advantage.
Stake heavy-headed chrysan-
themums to keep them upright
and straight stemmed. Disbud a
few for extra fine blooms.
Give the "Show" flowers and
vegetables an extra feeding so that
they will be in the pink of perfec-
ton when it comes time to go on
display.
The Potomac Rose Society sug-
gests that we cut our roses back
now so that they will be well filled
with long-stemmed roses come
show time in early October. When
cutting them back it is just as well
to remove the weak bottom growth
that Is unproductive.
The evergreens are beginning to
put out the new fall growth and
we should not delay giving them
the necessary pruning. Evergreens
should be pruned to keep them
compact and vigorous in appear
ance. An annual pruning is best
given Just ahead of the new
growth so that it will cover the
pruning cuts quickly. A late fall
pruning viii leave them more or
less unsightly all winter.
The daffodils are beginning to
show signs Of new root growth. II
they are to be moved this fall dc
not put it OF any longer than
necessary. They can be moved
even though the new roots have
formed but it is better to do II
before they are Of any appreciable
size.

Of evergreens should be done as
soon as possible. This Is the sea-
son for planting but we should

Gus. At this season they will have
time to become we'll established
before cold weather checks growth.
Later paintings may be done but
the evergreens should be given
considerable protection to assure
their survival.
In feeding the lawn it is we'll to
use the ordinary garden fertilizer
the 5-10-5. Grass makes succu-
lent soft growth in the fall and
does not need extra nitrogen. Use
rs to IS pounds per 1000 square
feet.
Do not confuse the Japanese
lawn grass seed offered on the
marke! with that of the improved
strain, Meyer Zoysia. developed by
the Grass Specialists at Beltsville.
No seed of the improved variety Is
to be had for two or three years.
The imported seed is not all re-
liably hardy. and some of it is
rather coarse leaved.
Leave the mulch on your rose
and flower beds this fall. It will
gradually rot down and provide
the soil with much needed humus.
In the spring add a new layer and
the plants will respond with bet
ter growth.
It is unnecessary to rake the
crabgrass OF of the lawn before
reseeding. The dead crabgrass will
serve as mulch and protect the
new seedlings.
The United States Department
OF Agriculture, recently issued a
press release again emphasizing
that the chemical soil condition
Iers being offered on the market
should be used only on an expert
mental basis. Research has not
gotten far enough to guide the
gardener IN their use.
This is practically the end of the
planting season for Oriental pop
pies and the Madonna lilies. Do
not delay planting if you would
enjoy their beauty next spring.
AS soon as space is available,
sow the seeds of larkspur and
bachelor buttons if you would have
these spring Towering ANIMALS
make their best display next sea-
son. Fall planting is not recon-
mended for them. Nigella, Love-
in-the-Mist, Is another annual
that should be planted now.
Crimson clover, an excellent
cover crop and green manure may
be planted now and until Septem-
ber Is. It is one Of the best Of the
soil improvers. Be sure and inocu-
late the seed before planting In
order to get the best growth.

When all the figures are in, Florida

to date for its summertime vaca-
tion boom. And all the travel
there is not by automobile and
airlines. Railroads also are re-
porting an exceptionally heavy

In fact, records of the Seaboard
Railroad shows that more people
are going to Florida on its trains
this summer than during "the ira
ditionally peak winter seasons
prior to World War H." The
quotes are by James r. Getty,
Seaboard's general passenger traf-
fic manager. Statistically, he dis
closes that his roads passenger
business during the first seven
months Of this year was about IL
per cent ahead of the same period
in 1851.
He attributes the railroads
share in this vacation service to
low rates for accommodations, at
tractive package" visits and the
fact that such lines as Seaboard
provided all-year streamliner serv-
ice to many popular Southern re-
sorts.
More than 5000 package tour
vacationers were routed over the
Seaboard to the Miami-Miami
Beach area in 1851" Mr.. Getty
said, land all indications point to
an even larger total this year."
