Winter Pastures Will
Provide Good Food

Lots of good feed may be got
ten from a pasture in the winter.
but because growth is slower and
smaller than in summer, the
pasture must be managed more
carefully to prevent serious per-
manent damage, according to
s. B. Stabler, extension agrono-
mist at the University of Mary
land.
Most pasture plants are peren-
malls which grow from year to
year from the roots. They get
their start each spring from the
plant food stored in their roots
from the previous season. If
the top growth is pulled all the
way down by heavy grazing it's
hard for them to get a good start
in the spring. If the grazing is
too heavy they may not start at
all. They need time to build up
their plant food reserves.
Orchard grass-ladino clover
pastures will not stand as heavy
grazing as bluegrass. It's a good
practice to leaves or 4 inches of
even growth at all times of this
mixture.
Bluegrass will stand much
closer grazing, but needs a re-
covery time in the spring before
animals are turned in.
Lining and fertilizing is i'm
portant in pastures in the fall
as it is at any time of the year.

The Agriculture Departments
new Yearbook devoted to plant
diseases is published today.
Edited by Alfred Steferud, the
Yearbook describes the causes
and control methods Of hundreds
of diseases of commercial and
ornamental plants.
The book also contains a 80
page color section that has been
designed to help farmers, gar
deners and flower growers iden-
tify many Of the more important
diseases.
The Yearbook Is made up of
articles written by experts in the
department and at State colleges
and experiment stations on the
various diseases that affect
plants.
There are discussions of bac-

terra, fungi, nematodes, parasitic
plants and environmental condi-
tions that cause plant diseases.
The experts deal specifically
with the important diseases Of
such crops as cotton, grains,
grasses and legumeS, vegetable
crops, tobacco, fruits and nuts,
shade trees, herbs and many
flowers.
Agriculture Secretary Benson
writes in a foreword that the
cost of plant diseases is an esti-
mated SO billion year. He adds
that while new diseases and new
races of old diseases appear con-
stantly, and while the bill for
fighting these diseases has been
high, much of the loss can be
prevented.
The Secretary said the Year
book will aid greatly in provid-
ing information about plant dis
eases to those who have to do
with plants and plant produc-
ton.
While the Yearbook is pro-
duced in the Agriculture Depart
ment, it is produced as a con-
gressional document and is
mainly distributed by members
of the House and Senate.
Copies may be obtained fol-
$3.50 from the superintendent OF
documents, Government Print
ing Office. No orders or requests
should be sent to the Agriculture

Gardeners Told
Plants Must Have
Adequate Food
BY the Assoeioted Press

BLACKSBURG, Va Begin
ming gardeners often make the
mistake Of neglecting plant food
requirements. VPI garden spe-
c1alistS say.
The term "plant food" in
cludes nitrogen, PHOSPHORUS,
potassium. calcium, magnesium.
boron and several other foods or
elements, all necessary for proper
growth and development.
The soil will contain some or
all of these elements, but not
enough to supply the plants with
all they need. More will have
to be added in the form of
fertilizer.
Even a novice farmer will be
able to tell when crops are being
stunted for lack of proper nour-
ishment. A Stunted, pale green
or yellow corn plant, a cotton
plant with reddish brown leaves,
or a pasture that is mostly broom
sedge and poverty grass, all are
indicative of undernourishment.
Provide Enough Food.
The best means Of avoiding
this sort of trouble is a preven-
tive step, the experts said. Give
the plants enough food to fend
off the telltale signs.
The mysterious fertilizer num-
bers (2-12-12 or 4-16-8, for in
stance) tell you how much avail
able nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash is in each 100-pound
bag. A 100-pound bag of 2-12-12
contains 26 pounds of these
three elements, in the percent
ages indicated by the numbers.
Manure, a valuable and eco
nomical plant food, will lose
much Of its food value if left in
the open. It should be piled and
protected until used.
Legumes, such as crimson
clover, vetch, red clover, alfalfa
and ladino clover, will take
nitrogen from the air if the seed
is properly inoculated and the
soil is properly fertilized.
High yields take a lot Of food
from the soil. so food should be
returned if the yield is to con-
! tinue at a high level next year.

"and won't have any but the

There was q Six-foot level
hanging on the wall. I wondered
why such a long one. and was
told that every carpenter ought
to have one like it.

getting doors level" he said.
Every door ought to be 6 feet
high and this level will go right
in against the door jamb. You
know you've got it right If you
use one"
All this talk took place while
Mr.. Rollison was cutting the g.
year-old's hair. There was a lot
of squirming during the process.
but Mr.. Rollison didn't seem
to mind.
"A lot Of city BARRIERS get pretty
fast" he said. II don't mind
working. if you don't mind
waiting"
Dwight Smiley tells me he has
the best dog in the world. He
said he not only drives the cows,
but drives the farm truck as well.
Dwight looked out over his
fields the other day and there
was the truck with the dog in
the drivers seat moving along.
DWight's man has set the truck
to move slowly along while he
loaded hay, and the dog had
taken the seat behind the wheel.
Looked like he was doing a pretty
good driving job, Dwight said.

Life in the Country
John RoIIison Gives a Haircut,
And Now Has Visitors From All Over

Until q few weeks ago John
Rollison was known to few peo-
pie outside Of his home town Of
Waterford and Loudoun County.
But lately he has been having
visitors from all over the country.
All this was brought about be-
cause Mr.. Rollison happened to
cut Arthur Godfrey's hair. It
was just before Godfrey went on
the air again from his Loudoun
home and he had to get his hair
trimmed up so he would be
recognizable to his television au-
dience.
Mr.. Rollison has a barber chair
in his Waterford store and If he
has the time he will cut your
hair. He was called on to put
Godfrey back in television shape
and he did q right creditable job,
according to many Of those who
saw that first television show.
Godfrey mentioned that his
hair had been trimmed by Mr..
RolliSon and the visitors started.
Mr.. Rollison said some of them
wanted haircuts, some wanted
to see him and a lot Of them
wanted him to get them in to see
Godfrey. He cut some hair,
talked to a lot Of people, but
didn't get any Of them into the
Godfrey place.
There was a fellow named
Singing Sam who came by. He
got up in the chair and had his
hair cut by the man who had
trimmed the Godfrey brush, and
then he wanted arrangements
made to see Godfrey himself.
He said he was on radio sta
ton over in West Virginia, and
was going to appear on a pro-
gram in Washington. He said
he would like to meet Godfrey
and would appear on his pro-
gram, too.
So far as Mr.. RolliSon knows,
he never made the Godfrey
show.
Mr.. Rollison used to run a ga
rage in Waterford, and he can
fix anything that has wheels-or
so they say. He can do about
anything else that comes along,
too.
You won't find any but the
best tools for sale in his store,
either.
"ToolS fascinate me-" he said,

wives questioned readily adj
mitted. In the eyes Of Mrs.,
George M. Humphrey Of Cleve-
land, wife Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, the most Inn
pressive thing about the Capt.
tai is its complete absorption
from morn till night in the
subject Of politics. It's Topic
A with people Of all ages at
every kind of party from a hen
luncheon to a mixed dinner.
In fact, it goes on "all through
the day." notes Mrs. Humph-
rey.
Everybody reads three news
papers daily and you have to
do it first thing in the morning
because if you run into friends
on the street or while shop
ping, they are very apt to- ask
you what you think of such
and such an editorial or state
ment. It's very challenging"
finds the warm, we'll liked Mrs.
Humphrey. She makes q point
Of going straight to the source
material by attending con-
gresSional hearings once or
twice a week.
Midst its other advantages,
Pamela Humphrey sees social
promptness and courtesy Of
hosts as two Of Washington's
chief charms. Hosts make q
point of looking after every
body. And, of course, the pre-
vailing custom of everybody
showing up on the dot for an
8-to-11 dinner with only a 20
or 80 minute cocktail period
Is a happy arrangement for a
man who has to be on his
toes at White House confer
ence at $3.50 in the morning.
But everybody Is so busy here,
she observes, that not even
the women have time to linger
after luncheons.
Mrs. Douglas Mckay, wife
Of the Secretary Of the IN
terror. says Of Capital protocol,
II don't think Washington is
nearly as tough as it Is made
out to be-" She comes from
the small town Of Salem,
Greg, but as the wife of the
Governor Of the State, she was
used to official life. She was

friendliness of a city this size.

estly, "but 1t isn't true"
