Examine Plants
For Infestutions

Often southern-grown plants
come into the markets each year.
Roots and leaves of each plant
should be examined for the
presence Of aphis or other in
sects, or possibly nematodes on
the roots.
Discard any plants with a
thickening of the roots which
may be caused by root knot
nematodes. Examine cabbage for
club root, a disease which is
difficult to- control once 1t be-
comes established. Examine the
stems also for wire stem con-
dition. If stems are not pliable
and do not bend with ease they
should be discarded.
Examine the undersides of
leaves for aphis. These insects
may be killed by using one Of
the recommended dusts for aphis
control. If other insects are
found follow recommendations to
avoid early infestation.
It is much cheaper to treat
the plants before they go into
the garden than to try to kill
the pests in the field.

the sale of his herd Of 81 Guern-

Mr.. Rich said he decided to sell
his herd because of his poor
health and the lack of adequate
farm labor.
A pioneer in grass farming. Mr..
Rice was the first in Northern

Asparagus is one of the heav-

of about 300 pounds per acre

Another application of the same

GiIIiam's On
End Until -.

VERO BEA CHI, Fla. - The
Brooklyn brass is sticking with
Junior Gillian for second base
this year despite the disturbance
the sensational youngster had in
advertently caused to the older
Dodger stars. Both Vice-Presi-
dent Buzzy Bavasi and Manager
Chuck Dresser believe Gillian
will "stick" with the club not
only because of his terrific glove
work but most of all because of
his habit of getting hits in the
clutch.
HE may not hit lot but he'll
get the hit that will win a close
game" explained Bavasi. Added
Dresser in absolute agreement:
"Thats what the Montreal man
ager tells me he does. He won't
do a thing in a game you're win
ming 80, but he'll get the big
hit in a one-run game. That's
what he did against the Phils
and the Yanks, remember?'-So
for these sound reasons, End base
is for Gillian until he proves
otherwise.

SPORTS
GratIand Rice
Picks Top Athletes

Famous authority on sports,
Grantland Rice, has prepared for
the Eastern Corporation, Bangor,
Me-, paper manufacturers, a list
OF athletes of immortal fame. He
names them "All-Time All-Stars."
In the track and field group is
Jesse Owens, of whom the author
writes:
"In one afternoon-on May 25,
1935-Owens broke three world
records and tied a fourth. He
ran the 100 in 9.4 the ,220 in 2O.3,
the 22O low hurdles in 22.6 and
broad jumped 26 feet, 8H inches
the current record. Then in the
1886 Olympics, Owens became
the only man to win four first
place medals-and set--or help
set-four new records. He broad
jumped 26 feet, 5as inches (still
the Olympic record), ran the 100
meter dash in 1913 (tied but not
lowered). ran the 200 meter dash
in 20.7 (still stands, and was
member of the winning U. S. 400
meter relay team which set the
current Olympic record of 29.8."
He adds, most of track and
field events are natural sports
tests of speed or strength. Be-
cause speed tests and throwing
tests are simple and without com
plicated rules, they were prob
ably the first sports played by
man. The first recorded organ
lied track meet was held in
Greece in 776 BIC. and the games
continued through the height of
both the Greek and Roman civil
izations. Early track men were
out and out professionals and
amateur track meets were first
held around 1850 in England. In
the United States, the first college
meet was held in 1874, and since
1876 annual championship meets
have been held"
