possibly being fed by another
camera which had been capped

was quite an improvement over
last ApriPs telecast of an atomic

threw lines out of synchroniza-

That, of course, was part of
! Mr.. Lansberg's education in this
somewhat specialized field. This
year he had cycle meters in oper-
alton at each of the microwave
relay points in the 275-mile
throw" from Yucca Flat to Los
Angeles. These enabled the
maintaining Of a steady signal
and, barring bit of wavering in
the picture and some fuzziness
because of the long relay, the
telecaSt was a success.
It is probable, incidentally,
that such a purposely light-sen-
sitive instrument as the television
camera never will compete with
movie camera in picturing the
actual moment of an atomic
blast. The TV camera, as you
must have noticed countless
times, reacts with a blacked-out
area or black halo to the flash
from costume jeWelry or tie
clasp. The flash of nuclear fis-
sion produces the same reaction,
multiplied millions of times.
There is one consoling thought
in this apparent shortcoming of
the television camera. If the
worst thing an atomic explosion
ever does to you is knock the
picture briefly off of your tele-
vision screen, you can count
yourself one Of the luckier resi-
dents Of the atomic age.

A nicely sodded slope. or ter
raced bank, looks very attractive
to the passerby. but to the owner
it offers several problems. It is
hard enough to keep q good turf
on level ground in this area. but
on q terrace it is q real problem.
Secondly, the work OF cutting
grass on a slope Is real manual
labor. # the slope Is greater
than ! foot vertical to 8 feet
horizontal. it should be covered
with plants that will prevent
erosion and present a reasonably
attractive appearance.
The choice Of plant material
to cover a terrace should be
made with care. There are plants
which will thrive on q sunny
bank which is also likely to be
rather dry. Banks sloping to the
east and north are usually more
favorable to plant growth. The
shady is favorable and offers
many interesting possibilities.
In the selection Of the plants.
it will pay to avoid those with
sparse growth which neither
prevents erosion or discourageS
weed growth. Trailing roses fall
in this category and It is next
to impossible to climb over and
around them to trim the grass
and weeds. Moreover, wasps con-
slider them to be ideal sites for
nesting.
Consider Insect Problems
Select plants that are relatively
free from disease and insect
problems or the chore of protect
ing them will reduce the advan-
tage Of a planted terrace. Spray
ing Is rather difficult on a slope
and where protection of the
plants is needed a duster will
be easier to use.
Some plants cannot tolerate
the winter sun and should be
avoided. The English ivy is a
good example, especially if in
a protected situation because the
leaves become active during the
warmer part of the day and
then suffer injury when the tenn
peratures go below freezing at
night.
Plants that require trimming
and other attention are likely
to become burdensome, especial
ly If the terrace is of consider
able size. The japanese honey
Suckle Oonicera japonica)' is
such rank grower that it is
considered a weed but makes
an ideal cover. if it we're not
for the trouble of keeping it
within bounds. The ground-ivy
(Nepeta hederacea). similarly is
a weed and should be avoided

Record Yields
In Corn, Beuns

Maryland corn and Soybean
crops set records for yield per
acre last year, according to the
annual crop summary by the
Maryland Crop Reporting Serv-
ice. Corn yield was 46 bushels
per acre. one bushel more than
the previous years, 1913 and
1851. The new soybean yield
record is 18 bushels an acre.
The former record Of II bushels
was set In 1850.
Production increases over 1851
were registered by corn, oats,
soybeans, alfalfa hay. lespedeza
hay and lespedeza seed. Wheat
production remained the same
as IN 1851. while other crops
dropped below the previous
years levels.
Although per-acre production
OF corn hit an all-time high last
year. the acreage devoted to that
crop was below what it used to
be before the development of
high-yielding hybrids. In the
l8S0s the States corn acreage
was above 100000. It dropped
into the 600.000s from about
1893 until 1922. Despite the
larger acreages, total production
seldom exceeded the 2l,7l2. 900
bushels harvested last year.

dies down in the winter. There
is an improved variety, Mar

Other perennials for the
slope, especially the smaller one
Thyme tThymus serpyllum)
Creeping veronica veronica
teucrim rupestris). Gold moss
(Sedum acre, S.. sarmentosum)

bago (Ceratostigma plumbagi-
noides). and bugleweed (Ajuga
reptans). To this list for shady
situations add ferns, lily-of-the-
valley, wintergreen (Gaulteria
procumbens), and Pachistima
canbyi.
In planting ground covers It
is important that a large hole
be dug in the bank and filled
with well enriched soil. In set
ting the plant leave a depres-
sion on the upper side SO that
rainfall will have an opportunity
to soak in the soil about the
roots Also. it is important that
the bank be covered with q
mulch of some material to pre-
vent erosion and to keep weeds
under control until the plants
have had time to become well
established. This will take at
least year; for many two or
three years.

Colorado GeoIogist Runs Farm
With Minimum Of Ldbor

AS head Of his own mining
concern, the Parker Mining and
Developing CO., Mr.. Parker must
spend a portion Of his time in
Colorado.
But once the work there gets
underway. he finds that he can
leave things to others and return
to his Virginia farming.
The Parker farm is, being
planned to operate with a mini
mum of labor. There will be a
herd of perhaps so Hereford
cows, and a few sheep. Hay is
made on the shares, so about the
only farming job to do is feed
hay to the herd during the
winter.
MIR. Parker now is planning to
sow his seven fields with grass
mixtures that will provide early
and late grazing, along with a
good midsummer forage.
In so doing he hopes to reduce
the hay feeding season as much
as possible. It may be, he said,
that some small grains will be
used for early spring. late fall
and winter pasture. This would
mean that he would renovate a
grass field about every seven
years.
