1HoneysuckIe Held
ITO Have Uses
by Weed Expert

Don't kill honeysuckle indis-
criminately-it has some uses.
John Amos, weed specialist al
VPI, says that in many locations
honeysuckle prevents erosion, pro-
vides cover for wildlife, and some
forage for cattle when little else
is available. Honeysuckle does con-
tain some animal food nutrients;
however, modern forage crops are
much superior
To kill honeysuckle along road
sides, in front of houses, where ii
hides q, scenic view, and in other
undesirable places, Amos suggests
using 2,4-D. If there are also
brambleS and small woody bushes
in the area to be cleared, a mix
ture Of 24-D and 2,4,5-T will give
better results.
Be careful when spraying 2,4-D
about the home, as the spray may
drift to other plants and damage
them. Vapors from sprayed areas
also may injure very sensitive
plants. such as tobacco. cotton. to
matoes. and vine crops.
Since it. is hard to free sprayers
Of 2,4-D, Amos suggests using a
separate sprayer for killing weeds.
Do not use it to spray insecticides
and fungicideS.

Life in the Country
Boasts No Hen to EquoI
English Egg-Loying Record
Unfortunately, we cannot boast

Unfortunately, we cannot boast
of q hen on The 40 Acres like the
one in England which recently
laid 10 eggs in an hour.
AS matter of fact. ] doubt If
we have a hen on the place who
has laid 10 eggs in the last month.
Excluding the bantams, that is,
but they don't count. You can't
find their eggs anyway. and the
only reason you know they lay at
all is that they appear from time
to time with a brood of chicks.
According to the sWord from
England. the hen, Jennifer. ap-
peared a little pale. Her owner
brought her in by the fire. and
then the eggs started. gather
that she recovered her color after
the 10th egg. This looks back
ward. She should have been rosy
before, and pale afterward.
1t wouldn't be correct to say
that we are totally without eggs
on The 40 Acres. Now and then
one of the hens jumps up in a feed
box in the barn and surprises us.
But as for doing any regular work
about egg production. our hens
just don't.
I don't know what is the matter.
They look fine. and appear to be
having fun. They cluck about,
scratch in the flower beds and the
garden, eat worms and bugs and
generally make themselves obvious.
Maybe they are like lot of
people. Too much freedom and
no work. They just spend time
wandering about and gossiping.
and pay no attention to their
duties.

European Borer
Seen Spreading
In Virqinfu

The European corn borer, &
troublesome insect now known tt
be in 50 Virginia counties, con.
tinues to spread. reports A. M
Woodside, assistant entomologist
at the Agricultural Experiment
Station. n -.
Possibly the borer exists II,
some Of the other 81 counties in
Virginia. WoodSide said. However
no systematic study has been
made.
Although damage was lighter
in 1851 than in several previous
years. it amounted to over $482.
600 in the eight counties surveyed
in Virginia. Heaviest losses were
in Rockingham. Augusta, Clarke
and Shenandoah.
Corn Stalks Break.
Most of the loss caused by the
corn borer, where infestation is
moderate, is the result of the
breakage of stalks and dropping
of ears, rather than an actual re-
duction in yield. This breakage
and dropping causes Spoilage and
waste, and increases the cost of
harvesting because it is necessary
to pick up behind the harvesting
machinery.
Spraying for control ordinarily
has not been justified in Virginia,
although there are exceptions.
Only the largest farmers, or those
who want to do custom spraying,
find it economical to buy the high
cost spraying equipment.
Control Measures.
Woodside recommends these
measures for reducing corn borer
injury: Use an approved adapted
hybrid, fertilize adequately, and
plant corn at about the average
date for the area. Early-planted
corn is likely to be more heavily
infested than that planted at the
average date, because the corn
borer moths are inclined to de-
posit eggs on the talleSt corn in
the Ileighborhood.
Other practices that will help
keep the infestation low include:
Ensiling the corn. using a corn
picker with crusher rolls set to
crush as much Of the stalk as
possible. using 4 husker-shedder
and plowing under all stubble and
trash in the fall. However, Wood
side says these practices are worth
little unless carried out on a
communicative basis.
Nationwide the borer is known
to be in 81 states. and last year
destroyed nearly 36,000,000 BUSH
els Of corn, worth nearly $751;
100000.

What is KriIium
Soil Conditioner?

Krilium is a synthetic chemical which
quickly turns hard clay and similar
problem" soils into loose, crumbly par
ticles ranging in size from pinhead to a
pea. The result of this action is entirely
mechanical-Krilium is not fertilizer.

TopOnions

AS soon as the seed stalks ap-
pear on onion sets. even before
they are 3 to 4 inches long, they
should be pulled of so that the
onions can put their growth into
the development of lateral leaves
and bulbs.
Onions grown from fairly large
sets are likely to develop seed
stalks early. If these seed stalks
are allowed to grow, they will pro-
duce a thick-necked bulb which
will not cure readily. and will not
make as desirable a bulb for use
as one which produces no stalks.

This and That

Templeton Jones is wearing a hat
these days.
He has been reading the new ap-
proach. "Hats-as healthy as they're
handsome"
Year before last the manufacturers,
noting, the increase in hatless males,
tried to WOW them with the ladies'
't-like-you- -unless-you-wear a hat"
approach.
Last year, they told hatless males that
1t was undignif1ed to go without hat.
So now it is healthy to wear one, and
Templeton Jones believes they have
something there.
The primary purpose of any hat, the
ad said. is to protect you.
The eyes and the hair, of course-and
our head from sun and city SCOT.
Jones believes they have left out, or
probably not got around to, the most
important reason of all.
Protection of the skin

years old find out, will not take it as
it used to-

The idea is false one, based on a
false conception Of hair.
Many persons think the hair is alive,
just like grass, but actually it is dead.
or almost so.
The real life is in the hair follicle, and
the sun cannot get to it.
"All the sun does is dry out the scalp
and make it itch," says Templeton Jones.
So this summer he is going in for a
hat.
He will miss that freedom around the
forehead, though.
This is the real secret Of the hatless
vogue, and the hat men ought to know
about it.
Many men today have never worn
hats in all their lives. They grew up
through schools where a boy was re-
garded as sissy" If he wore one.
They got that feel of nothing pressing
against the skin of the forehead.
To them, weight there is like some
thing wrong. It worries them, embar-
rasses them, makes them wonder what
is the matter.
There are so many things worrying
one nowadays that these thousands re-
fuse to wear one more worry.
Maybe the health approach will do
it, for there is undoubtedly something in
it, especially for the skin. It is the skin,
Jones insists, rather than the eyes, or
the hair. itself, that benefits from pro-
lection.

'Choos in Arlington

In your excellent editorial, "Chaos in
Arlington" you failed to bring out two
important facts.
First. although it is now true that the
Virginia legislature can do nothing until
1854 to relieve this unnecessary tangle,
there was ample opportunity for the
State Legislature to clear the ground this
last session. Members of the Arlington
delegation in the General Assembly
were asked expressly to pilot through a
bill that would secure the position of
the Federal employe as to representa-
ton in our local government.
Their failure to do so should be made
known to all persons in Arlington Coun-
ty, particularly since one of Arlington's
two representatives in the Assembly, MI.

Lift the Relief Curtain

BY approving legislation to give the Com
mSSionerS authority to open District relief rolls
to public inspection, the Senate has supported
the right Of the taxpayers to know where their
money is going. It also has registered its
skepticism over the exaggerated predictions of
dire effects that would follow release of the
welfare information.
The skepticism is justified. There has been
no evidence of any disruption of the welfare
programs in the several States which already
have lifted the secrecy curtain from public
assistance rolls It had been predicted that
newspapers would rush the rolls into print and
thereby expose poverty-stricken citizens to
ridicule and embarrassment. But the press has
shown that it is interested only in exposing
chiselerS, not in publishing the names of worthy
recipients Of public relief Virginia is the latest
addition to the States which have taken this
intelligent action to protect the publics interest
Relief rolls in Virginia will be opened next
month.
If the House will stake the trouble to get
the facts in these States it will join with the
Senate in approving the provision in the pending
District welfare bill to permit opening of local
public assistance rolls, subject to proper restric-
tions. Then it will be up to the Commissioners
to use their discretion wisely-and other States
and cities have found that it is wise to abolish
the secrecy policy under which chiseling and
administrative laxity have been encouraged.
