Maryland PIMA
Program Changes
Are Explained

Maryland farmers will be af-
fected by three major changes in
the 1853 agricultural conserva-
|tion program. according to James
A. Cottman. acting State chair
man Of the Production and Mar
keting Administration. All three
changes represent a trend toward
long-range conservation practices.
Payments for application Of lime
win be based on the proportion
which will pass through q 90
mesh screen. Payments have for
|merly been made on the basis of
the amount passing through a
10-mesh screen. The finer lime
is considered to be more effective.
No payments will be made in
1858 for applications Of rock phos-
phate fertilizer. Payments will be
made for the use of superphos-
phate only if used in combination
with potash. Both changes in
approved fertilizer practices are
based on recommendations of the
University Of Maryland Agronomy
Department, Mr.. Cottman said.
Some Payments Limited.
Payments by county PIMA COM
mittees in 1858 for annual prac-
tices such as lime and superphos-
|phate applications and cover crop
seeding will be limited to a definite
proportion of the available funds
All other payments must be made
for permanent conservation prac-
tices. Funds not used for perma-
nent practices must be returned
to the treasury unless they have
been specifically assigned for an.
nual practices.
All three changes are part oi
a gradual change toward perma.
tnent conservation practices, Mr.
Cottman said.

Terromycin Found
To Prevent Scours

Shrubs From CuttinQs
Taking Slips Is an Old Practice That
Does Not Require Expensive Equipment
By W. n. Younsmon
CoTdan Editor

July and August is the period In
which slips may be taken from
many kinds Of shrubs for roofing
in sand. sand and peatmosS. or
spaghnum moss. Taking slips has
been used for many years as a
means of propagating plants and
the home gardener can practice 1t
without expensive equipment.
Most neighbors are willing to
share slips, and the fun Of grow
ing your own is worth the little
time that it takes.
The major step in growing
shrubs from cuttings is to take
the cuttings at the right season.
Generally speaking. the time to
take cuttings is when the new or
terminal growth has begun to
harden. BY bending the shoot to
a right angle it should snap. This
is not an infallible rule, and for
that reason it will pay to take cut
tings both earlier and later. Check
the new growth to see If 1t is firm
and is close to the swapping stage.
Next provide a medium where
the humidity may be kept fairly
high, so that the cuttings will not
wilt. One of the easiest methods
is to use two pots. A 6 or 8 inch
one and a small 2-21a- inch one.
Plug the drainage hole in both
pots with a cork. Fill the larger
pot two-thirds full of sand, sand
and peatmosS, or with pulverized
spaghnum moss. Set the small
pot in the larger one and fill the
remaining space. This should
leave the top Of the small pot
which holds the moisture supply
Just above the top Of the sand.
Moisten and lamp Soil.
The sand or other material
should be dampened and thorough
ly tamped before it is ready for
insertion of the cuttings.
In taking cuttings, they should
average about four or five inches
in length. It is important that
they be cut at a mode" or bud.
This is the part Of the stem that
Is solid, where new shoots start.
Using a sharp knife, cut at the
node or just below. A square cut Is
preferable to a slanting cut.
Remove all but the terminal
leaves to reduce evaporation.
Punch q hole in the sand or
roofing media with a stick and
insert the cutting. Firm the sand
or media about the cutting with
a blunt stick so that the slip is
in full contact-to air pockets for
the new roots.
Chemicals Aid Roofing.
There are several chemicals on
the market that are supposed to
induce root formation. In some
cases they have proved helpful, in
others no benefit. The beginner
may wish to try one Of them. the
manufacturers directions should
be carefully followed.
With the cuttings in place-they
should be spaced an inch or two
apart-the next step is to cover
the pots with frame or enclosure
to reduce evaporation. The author
has frequently cut out the bottoms
of glass jugs (the gallon size). A

II the pots are buried to the rim

few inches, six or eight deep. Pots
buried in soil do not dry out
quickly. Or If it is not desired to

the space between them may be
filled with peatmoss.
If a six or eight-inch pot does
not provide enough space for cut
tings-it will hold six to ten-a
box may be filed with sand or
other growing media. The grow
ing media should be about six
inches deep, in order to have at
least two inches of material below
the ends Of the cuttings. Several
small pots should be inserted in
the media at intervals of six
inches to supply the moisture nee
essary to keep the media damp.
A sash or other cover should be
provided to keep the humidity
high enought to prevent willing.
Check Plants Daily.
The pot or box should receive
almost daily checking to see that
the small pots have water. Usually
they will not need filling oftener
than once a week. Nothing seri-
Gus is likely to happen if they
should be dry for a day or two.

This Week in the Garden

Hot muggy weather is not con.

but because the crab grass Ii

favorable for the spread Of dis
ease. the gardener has little op-
|portunlty to sit in the shade. A
few days neglect and the crab
grass is smothering the bluegrass,
diseases spread through the gar
den, and of course, the japanese
beetles will defoliate q tree OF
shrub.
Cut and burn the tops Of holly
hooks to prevent their seeding
also it destroys the foliage in
tested with rust, thus keeping
that disease q bit more under
control. Do not. however, cut the
plants back to the ground just
below the lowest seed pod and q
second Towering may be induced
from new shoots that form fol-
lowing the pruning.
, Now Is the time to cut the tops
Of Shasta daisy plants, removing
most of the tall stems. Pruning
at sthiS season encourages a fall
bloom. Young plants may not be
able to put forth a second crop Of
bloom and still be able to store
up strength for the winter.
