loan funds were used for the
purchase of livestock and farm
machinery and the remainder to
pay necessary farm operating
expenses. The Farm Housing
loan was made to finance the
construction of a new farm home.
Funds are now available for
all types of FHA loans and Mr..
Brunton urges all farmers who
are anticipating making applica-
ton for FHA assistance to file
written application at their
earliest convenience in order to
permit sufficient time for pro-
cessing before the funds are
needed.
The FHA makes loans to
eligible farm families to buy, en-
large or improve family type
farms, also to purchase livestock,
farm equipment and to pay nee
essary farm operating expenses.
Under the Farm Housing pro-
gram loans can be made to build,
repair or remodel farm build
ings.
Further information on FHA
loans can be had by contracting
the County Office at 902 CASTOR
Avenue, Cambridge or at the
sub-office at Caldwell in the
PIMA Office from 1000 a. m.

FARMERS TO BENEFIT

President Truman signed into
law a controversial bill requir-
ing the government to support
basic farm crop prices at rigid,
high levels for the next two
years. This bill was bitterly op-
posed by some of the major
farm organizations in the nation.
It will affect several hundred
farmers in this county.

Move Evergreens
During Fall Weeks

Transplant evergreens now
They can safely be moved righ
up until the ground freezes. But
liz they are transplanted withir
the. next few weeks. they will be-
come established before winter
sets In.
Prevent drying out in the NOV
ing process, tree experts advise
Burlap the roots If the evergreens
are not planted Immediately after
digging. It is best to transplant
on a cloudy day. If the weather
is warm and dry, spray the foliage
and trunk with water.
Mulching after planting will aid
in the conservation of moisture.
Remember, evergreens must go
into the winter with adequate
moisture around their roots be-
cause of high drying winds dur
ing the months ahead.

Plant Spring Bulbs
AT the Feet of Trees

Let your trees be a guide in
planting spring flower bulbs this
fall.
Daffodils like to wave their yel-
low heads at the feet of a clump
'of gray or white birches, says
Robert A. Bartlett Of the Bartlett
Tree Expert Co. A group Of ever
green's may serve as a colorful
background for such a spring pic
ture.
Grape hyacinths are perfect
companions to the notified bark of
dogwoodS. Snowdrops can be
grouped near a dooryard elm.
Crocuses may be planted meath a
maple or beach.
Avoid planting companion f1ow-
ers too close to the tree trunk.
Place them where they will not
be disturbed by a lawn mower in
the spring until their leaves have
yellowed and fallen.

Life in the Country
Instructions for Seeding Field Followed,
AWiIderness of Grass Is Anticipated

If c. T. Rice comes by The 40
Acres next spring and can't find
his way for the tall grass, why. it
will be his own fault.
Mr.. Rice, as most everybody
knows, is the 70-acre wizard over
In Fairfax County. It was he who
first showed people what grass
farming can be in Northern Vir-
ginia.
Well, he came by the other day
and left word that he was tired
of passing by and looking at our
dreary field out in front. He said
he wanted it fixed this fall. and
he wanted to see it done right.
He told us what kind Of grass
to plant. and how much fertilizer
to put on. He told us to 60 over
and get Tweed Howser's drill and
do the job like it ought to be done.
He was so emphatic in the
message he left that I didn't wait
a minute after I got home. but
went straight to work. turned
on the tractor headlights and
worked until after II o'clock that
night.
I got the job done almost like
he said it should be. There were
a few notifications because Ger
tain things, as usual, wouldn't
work right for me. Anyway, the
field is fixed and I'm waiting for
results.
And I'm hoping that Mr.. Rice is
going to get lot of pleasure in
the future every time he passes
our place.

Our whole countryside has been
painted vivid yellow by the Span

flowers that looking over a field at

earth were giving out a light.

Parasites Cut
Sheep Profits

The control of internal parasites
often makes the difference be-
tween profit and loss for Maryland
sheep raisers. according to Boyd
Whittle. University of Maryland
Extension livestock special. Drugs
can be used to combat the para
sites, he says, but they should be
used to supplement preventative
measures.
"It's the old story of an ounce
of prevention" Whittle explains.
Pasture rotation every three
months is one of the best methods
iof control. Clean water and feed
troughs and plenty of clean bed
ding will do much to eliminate
parasite troubles during the winter
months.
"Salt containing trace minerals
and sufficient feed plus good quail
ity hay will keep the flock well
fed and less susceptible to para
site Infection" Whittle advises.

Farm Building Tax
Assessments Gain
Foster Than on Lund

Tax assessments against farm
buildings have been increasing at
ia more rapid rate than they have
on land during the last 10 years.
Building assessments now rep
resent one-half Of the total farm
real estate assessment. according
to a recent report released by the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The use of unit methods in as
sessing buildings is emphasized in
the report, which concludes that
dwellings are in general, assessed
more carefully or in greater de-
tail than other farm buildings.
Unit costs are being used as a
basis for assessing farm dwellings
in various counties.
Unit Cost Method Used
However. the findings show that
unit cost methods are also used
in assessing other farm buildings.
In general, new or modern build
ings are assessed by unit method,
either on the square foot or cubic
foot basis. Older buildings or those
in poor condition are often 'lump
sum" assessed.
Unit assessment methods are
used more on modern dairy barns
than on other barns. Tobacco
barns in the Southern Maryland
counties are assessed by both unit
methods and the "spot" or dump
sum" method. The latter is gen.
orally the basis for bank barn as
SeSSmentS.
System Varies.
The study points out that in
some counties IS per cent maxi
mum depreciation factor is ap-
piled in assessing dwellings. In
other counties assessors continue
to depreciate buildings beyond
this point. This is a source of in
in the final assessments.
The report concludes that "since
are becoming a more
part of farm real estate
investment, building assessment
procedures should be as consist
ent as possible in an effort to
eliminate resulting inequalities.
After unit rates are applied the
factors of location. depreciation,
and obsolescence need to be care
fully considered before assess
ments are finally determined"

There's been so much emphasis
IN roses in recent years that the
nrSt thought of the average gar
dener, desiring to soften a hard
line or lift some color up into the
air, is of the climber rose. Actu-
ally, there are vines for almost
every purpose, from providing an
area of perfumed air to screening
something like compost pile.
Like other plants. they like good
soil. good drainage. In addition
most require supports of some
kind.
Care of Vines.
Some ivies cling to brick walls.
Honeysuckle and akebia provide
a pleasant scent; bittersweet and
gourds give interesting and color
full fruit; some varieties of
clematis. wisteria and silverlace
provide big, splashy blooms. For
heavy screening there's Dutch
mans pipe, the castor vine and
moonf1ower. Ano, in case you
wish to eat from your vine, there
are cucumber. grapes and pole
beans-with Scarlet Runner CIV
ing pretty bloom for good meas
ure.
Perennial vines, like other year.
to year plants, requires some
and feeding attention.
Most require assistance and con-
troll If they are to grow Satisfac-
torily and in the desired shape.
Permitted to grow uncontrolled,
sturdy vines like wisteria, grapes
and honeysuckle can strangle
limbs about which they grow
(wisteria has been known to
strangle ITSELF and plants like
bittersweet. unless watched, can
rip shingles off roof and other
wise raise havoc. Generally
speaking, it is better to provide
them with support Of their own
than to allow them to shoot up
a down-spout or ramble at will on
a roof.
Grapes, over an arbor, provide
shade, provide fruit and attract
birds. They require careful prun-
ing. however, and they also at

dition. they are apt to be a little

FoII-FIowering Bulbs, Vines
Offer Bonus for the Gardener

There scarcely lives a gardener
who is unaware of the beauty and
ease of growing the brilliant
spring Towering bulbs-dafodils.
hyacinths, and tulips, which fol-
low the crocuses and snowdrops in
the garden.
These, of course, are planted in
the fall.
But there are other bulbs which
flower in the summer and early
fall, which must be spring planted,
and which don't get as much at
tention as they deserve-probably
because gardeners are so pre-
occupied with getting seeds sown
for other flowers.
After the tulip and narcissus
have finished, the gardener may
rely on the amaryllis, sternbergia,
autumn crocuS-and, of course,
the big lily family.
The bulb family can be enlarged
by including a number of popular
plants like iris, gladiolus, dahlia
and canna-some of them hardy
enough to be planted permanently
and disturbed only when neces-
sary to divide, and others which
must be dug and stored carefully
through the winter months.
Planting Rules.
Regardless Of their habit Of
growth and of their hardness,
bulbs flourish in deep, fertile and
well drained soil. Because some Of
the bulbs, like dahlias. daffodils
and hyacinth should be planted as
deep as six or eight inches, the
flower bed should be carefully
prepared down a foot or more so
that the deep roots have proper
food. The general planting rule is
to plant the bulb two and one-half
times it's depth-but there are ex-
ceptions Qike the iris) so the
gardener is well advised to study
the requirements for each species
If he would avoid disaster.
Moles, for instance, have a lik-
ing for bulbs as a food staple,
and where there is a mole-in-
tested garden, bulbs may be
planted in wire baskets" for pro-
Eection.
VineS-annual and perennial
are other too-frequently neglected
members of the garden clan.

BY Jones Birchfield-

Whether you like the Spanish
needle depends on your point OF
view. If you are a farmer. it is
a pest. If you drive out from the
city. it must be lovely. It is toe
bad that nature has wasted SO
much color on such a pest.
You fight it one year, and up ii
comes the next in a different
place. There is no end to it, and
so far as I know. it is good for
nothing but to look at.
We had some honey one year that
was made from Spanish needle. It
was the most beautiful golden color
you can imagine. but so nasty that
not one could eat it. It had a
flavor like mashed, wilted green
twigS.
I don't like to see it in the
fields, but every now and then I
catch myself absorbing the bright
color of the Landscape.

1850 NOTES ~

~fISsss2 ISsssss2zssss51--zEg - - g 5x:D
by PETER BpGG$

A custom that I thought had
gone out Of fashion seems to
be coming back. It is the Of
fering of a live puppy as the
prize to the holder of a certain
ticket at a fair or a charity
bazaar, etc.
John Jones is coaxed into
buying a chance on a charity pup.
He wins. Thus, he has a puppy
on his hands. Perhaps John
Jones doesn't like dogs, or
doesn't know how to take care
of them, or has no suitable
place to keep such a pet. AS a
result a. poor friendly little dog
is i'll treated or neglected or is
passed on to some one who
really doesn't want it. In any
case, the pup is likely to be the
loser.
A pup or a grown dog is a
splendid possession, but only for.
somebody who can and will do
the right thing by it. Not for
the average person who happens
to draw it in a rattle.
I went to my first dog show
many. many years ago. Dog
shows were something of a
rarity in those days. Today. as
you know, they are rather COM
mon. A few weeks ago I attended
a small show not far from my
home. I stopped at one of the
benches to pet a friendly dog.
Sharply, his owner bade me
to leave him alone. Then he
took the time to tell me why
he had spoken so.
"At almost every show" he
said, "there are dogs that are
either just coming down with
distemper or are getting over it
or have been exposed to it,. You
pat some such dog. His wet
muzzle touches your palm. Then
you pat another dog that also
nuzzleS your palm. The second
dog gets a fine dose Of distemper
germs.
THAT is one of the chief ways
that distemper spreads itself
through shows and why so many
dogs die of it after so many
shows. Keep your hands off all
the dogs in a show, no matter
how friendly they are. Otherwise
you may be scattering death
through al 1.-The dogs attending"
It was wise advice. Follow it,
at the next show you 60 to. ]
am sure I will.
Frank Buchanan who lives in
Astoria. N. Y, bought an aire-
dale puppy for $50. Next day.
the pup fell i'll. Buchanan took
it to a hospital where it died of
distemper a few days later.
The owner brought suit for the
pups purchase price, plus hos
pital charges, plus lawyers fees,
etc. He said he had known Of
so many instances of the kind
that he was going to make a
test case. He lost the suit.
Many of you have written me
from time to time, complaining
of just such i'll fortune as over
took Buchanan in his dog pur-
chase. and asked what could be
done about it. I am sorry If the
Buchanan case is to be the final
judicial answer to that question.

For it seems to leave dog buyers
with rather little legal ground to
stand on. However, in my ex-
perience with such cases I have
found that the average dog
seller will meet the average dog
buyer half way.
Not only will the proper food
keep your dog in the best Of
health, but food can also be used
to cure certain dog ailments.
For example, it has been
found that tomato juice will
help certain cases of paralysis Of
the hind quarters. A dog suf-
fering from film over the eyes
can be helped by the liberal
addition of cod liver oil to his
diet. A small amount of suet
or fat mixed in o dogs food
seems to help alleviate and clear
up a dry and scaly skin.

I come near him if he is eating.

to protect his food. The mango
