Pick Blossoms
For Better Plants

Experiments in the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture have demonstrated the
value of removing blossoms from
newly set strawberry plants.
Removing the blossoms allows
the plants to grow bigger, de-
velop more runners and produce
more berries the following
spring. The experiments also
proved that hand removal is
more effective than destroying
them with sprays.
Scientists D. H. Scott and
Paul c. Marth, geneticist and
physiologist, respectively, of the
Plant Industry Station. tried vari-
Gus sprays in comparison with
hand picking, a practice long
used by more progressive straw
berry growers. None of the
sprays CAD: 2.4,5-TP, and
TTB) was successful. but hand
picking seemed to stimulate the
plants.

Hoy Crop Insects Here

Hay crop insects have made
their annual appearance in
Maryland. Spittlebugs, pea
aphids. alfalfa weevils and clover
leaf weevils have showed up in
various parts of the State, ac-
cording to T. L. Bissell, extension
entomologist at the University
of Maryland. These insects can
reduce hay yields as much as a
third unless controlled, he says.
Spraying for spittlebugs has
begun on the Eastern Shore and
in Frederick County. Mr.. Bissell
advises that other areas start
as soon as spittle is found.

Set Asparagus Beds in April

April Is an excellent time to
get an asparagus bed started.
Most seedsmen or nurserymen
can supply plants ("crowns") /.
In home gardens they may be
placed IS inches apart in the
row. with rows 4 feet apart.
Some estimate 10 plants will fur
nish enough asparagus for each
person in the family; others sug-
geSt Is.
While a deep sandy loan soil
is ideal, this crop will grow on
most soil types If there is good
drainage. It does not tolerate
much acidity. One year-old
crowns are best. Some buy
twice as many as needed and
discard the smaller ones. Mary
Washington variety is recon-
mended. Paradise is a similar
variety.

inches deep. Well-rotted manure
may be applied literally in the
bottom of the furrow and
worked into several inches Of the
furrow floor. Then spread
evenly 20 pounds of limestone
or hydrated lime to 100 feet of
row, plus 10 pounds of regular
garden fertilizer. Then place
enough top soil back in the
furrow to bring the bottom to
within 6 inches of the ground
level. Thus the actual depth Of
setting the crowns is 6 inches.
Place each crown on a little
rounded mound of soil. Spread
the roots out along the furrow
and cover the whole crown with
about 2 inches of good top soil.
In the very center of the crown
are the buds which will grow

Paint Out Insects

It household insects such as
ants, reaches, spiders or silver
fish are the main problem, the
best method is to mix two tea
spoonsful of a chlordane prep
aration in a half pint of water
and paint base boards, window
sillS, around the sink, water pipes
or around cracks and crevices
where these pests are likely to
hide. Chlordane can be COM
bined with starter solutions in
a transplanting solution to pre-
vent the cut worms from toppling
tomatoes or other transplants
Add two teaspoonsful per gallon
of starter.

into shoots. They should not
be covered deep enough to
smother. Each time the crop
Is worked a little soil is pulled
into the furrow. so by the end
OF the summer the trench is
completely filled.
A year from the time the
plants are set the spears may
be cut for two weeks. The Sec
ond-year cutting may continue
four weeks and in following
years to the end of June. A
bed with proper care will last

Miami Jimcrou May Lose
Big Church Convention

PORTLAND, Ore. A near
unanimous ruling by the inter-
national convention of the Dis
ciples of Christ may cost Miami
big convention in 1854.
The group on Tuesday voted
not to hold meetings in cities
where racial segregation is prac-
ticed. Final action on the reso-
luton has not been taken.
Opposing forces in the segre-
CATION battle Immediately began
marshalling fer the showdown,
but there were growing signs that
opponents of segregation already
had won their major objective.
This was Endorsement of the
ban on cities where segregation
ton is practiced. 1t was clear
support of a policy adoptd by the
National Council of Churches of
Christ in the U.S.A.
Gaines M. Cook, Indianapolis,
convention secretary, said the
resolution would not be retro
active. Miami was awarded the
1854 assembly at the 1852 con-
vention in Chicago.
Cook said he did not consider
Tuesday action as "forbidding
the holding of a convention in a
city where there is discrimina-
ton" He said the resolution in
tended that the convention ar
rangers "do the best they can and
60 as far as they can" in pre-
venting segregation.
Other convention officials said
church history has proved MEM
berships are. averSe to retroactive
decisions and that extreme care
should be taken in the future to
prevent a repetition of the Mi
ami controversy.
The convention debated the
anti-segregation resolution 80
minutes and killed two motions
to refer it back to the committee
on recommendations.
President Howard Thomas
Wood, Memphis, recessed the
business session before a vote
could be taken on the Miami reso-
luton.

Mr.. Lowe made this statement
in connection with a memoran-
dunn to the Commissioners, con-
corning a reorganization status
report being prepared for the
legislators.
In the memo. he explained
that expected money savings in
certain reorganized departments
are "for one reason or another
not developing in a way that
now permits measurement" The
apparent difficulty, he went on,
is that reorganization benefits
"are mostly being derived
through the obtaining of more
effective program" and that "the
funds saved have evidently been
applied to other work rather
than set aside as savings"
Surprise Paragraph.
1t was the concluding para
graph of the memo that caused
raised eyebrows in the District
Building. It read:
"I have no disagreement with
the policy of applying savings to
much needed work. do feel,
however, that so doing we may
lay ourselves open for the ac-
cusation that there have been
no savings. I, therefore, suggest
that the Board of Commissioners
give consideration to whether or
not some amounts cannot be
placed in reserve out of the 1854
(current) appropriation to indi-
cate to the Congress that there
have been actual measurable
savings"
When questioned about the
significance Of that paragraph,
Mr.. Lowe acknowledged that the
"phraseology is unfortunate. p"
But. he emphasized, he "defi-
nitely" had no intention of de-
luding Congress.
Easily Detected.
''I don't believe that would be
possible" the administrator
said. "It would become evident
in 10 minutes if any one tried
to arbitrarily take money from
an appropriation and label it
reorganization savings. I'm not
trying to get a penny called
called savings that is not saw
ings."
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said he understood that the
question raised by Mr.. loves
memo was whether the city
heads should try to show reor-
ganization savings in dollar
amounts or in increased services
to the community. =
'If you want dollar savings to
show, it means dismissals," MIR.
Spencer said.
In a report released Tuesday,
Mr.. Lowe estimated that reor-
ganization cost the District more
than 100000 in the IA months
ended last September 80.
