Life in the Country
Cow Is Sold, but Not for Long;
Owner Buys Her Back and z More

When a man buys a COW he
really lets himself in for some
thing. Take Bob Richardson
for example.
Bob is our electronics engineer
neighbor. He went out and
bought a COW. He thought it was
the thing to do-living in the
country and all that.
He had been dreaming about
all of the cream, butter and
cottage cheese he would have.
And then. there would be milk
left over for his dogs and chick
ems.
Oh, yes, Bob has chickens, too,
He sent away to a mail-order
house and got several hundred
chicks. But that is something
else, and doesn't concern the
COW. It just illustrates that Bob
is up to his ears in country liv-
ing.
But this cow-her name is
Summertime and Bob didn't
get on too well after the first
blush Of love had faded. The
trouble really started when the
neighbor boy who did the milk
ing went away.
Bob may have been too
charged with electronicS, or it
may have been that Summertime
simply didn't find his hands soft
and caressing. Anyway, she
kicked. When she kicked over
the pail and spilled the milk over
her master, that was the end.
The next week she went away
off to the livestock market at
Leesburg. After all. a COW isn't
really essential In the country.
But Bob made a mistake. He
went to market the day Sum-
mertime was to be sold. He saw
her down in the sales ring and
thought she looked homesick and
lonesome.
How it happened, no one can
tell. but when the bidding was
over Summertime had been sold
to her own master. Bob had
bought her back again.
And something else happened,
too. Bob got the spirit of the
auction ring. Before the sale
ended he also was the owner of
two calves.
I'm developing small herd, "
he told a friend that evening.
The praying mantis is indeed
a wonderful insect. He is the only
insect, I am told, that can turn
his head like a human being, and,
like the humans, too, he is blood
thirsty. He will destroy his own
kind just as quickly as he will
another species.
I read where a scientist has
gone into the mantis business
furnishing these insects to gar

Give Ludino Trial,
Aqronomist Advises

BLACKSBURG, Va, July IL
Farmers who have lost cattle
this year through bloating on
ladino-grass pastures should not
decide to abandon the new pas
ture mixture too hastily.
DR.. H. L. Dunton of VPI said
many Virginia farmers plowed
up ladino clover pastures be-
cause of such losses this spring.
He urged them to consider these
facts first:
Remember that proper man
agement practices must be fol-
lowed with ladino clover and
grass pastures to maintain a
proper balance of grass and
clover.
Ladino clover and grass is
comparatively new in Virginia,
and shouldn't be abandoned
without a just trial.
This past spring saw IAN ex-
cellent growth" of ladino clover,
especially since many pastures
were grazed so closely last fall
that in many cases the grass
was "set back" and sometimes
killed. This would account for
excuses of clover in the spring
pastures.
Remember that 1t is possible
to re-establish the grasses in
these pastures this fall, Dunton
said, by grazing down the clover,
disking lightly and reseeding
grass.

Liquid Fertilizer,
Dutu Misleading,
Association Warns

The National Fertilizer Asso-
citation and American Fertilizer
Control Association officials have
issued a warning to gardeners
against fallacious claims being
made by some manufacturers
Of liquid fertilizers designed for
home Use.
1.-THE people should not be
misled by the advertising now
being blatantly and widely pro-
noted" the association said.
Commercial fertilizers. liquid or
dry, are Of great benefit toward
improving the productivity and
quality Of vegetables and flowers
raised by the home gardener. but
many Of the statements cur
rently being made about some
liquid fertilizers contain absolute
Misrepresentation of fact"
The following are a few Of the
claims along with comments by
the association: t.
Claim: Certain liquid fertiliz-
ers offered for sale to home
gardeners are claimed to contain
valuable radioactive materials, or
other materials described as
having magical properties.
Comment: This is untrue.
Even if they did contain such
materials, the materials would
contribute little or nothing to
the value of the products.
Superiority Is Denied.
Claim: Liquid fertilizers are
superior to the more common dry
fertilizers in their effects on
plant growth.
Comment: This is untrue.
Although the plant food con-
tanned in liquid fertilizers may
become available to plants more
quickly than the plant food in
dry fertilizers, it has no greater
relative merits under most cir
cumStanceS.
Claim: Liquid fertilizers are
more economical than other fer
.tilizers.
Comment: This is false. Liquid
fertilizers sold to the home
gardener generally are the most
expensive offered to the public.
Claim: Liquid fertilizers
achieve instantaneous favorable
results on crops and flowers.
Comment: All types Of fer
tilizers are beneficial to plant
life but none does its work in
simultaneously.
When purchasing fertilizer or
fertilizer materials. users were
urged to consider the following
cautions:
Buy only from reliable firms.
Be sure the product is approved
and registered with your States
fertilizer control Office.

And If your name doesn't ap-

scheduled to come out next June.
you're a pretty elusive customer
Already the r. L. Polk Co.'s
small army of canvassers has
collected well over 625, ZOO names
in its poll of homes and business
places.
Field Supt. w. T. Williams
says this is more than the num-
ber in the 1948 edition, the last
one issued here. but he doesn't
like to talk in figures.
1T causes confusion with the
census" he explains. "This isn't
the same. We are interested in
names and addresses, not num-
bers. And we don't take anybody
under 49,"
People sometimes even call
up the Census Bureau after the
directory enumerators visit them
and want to know what the
bureau is doing.
Other Mixups Happen.
Being confused with census
takers isn't the only misunder-
standing that crops up. Hear
ing the word city" some people
get the impression they are city
welfare aides, checking up on re-
lief recipients.
Mr.. Williams reports that, in
Norfolk, Va, the enumerators
hit some snags with apartments
where tenancy was governed by
earning rates.
"Some tenants thought they
were spies from the apartment
projects, trying to find out how
much money they were making"
he recalls.
"As a whole, the people here
have been pretty NICE" Mr.. Will
