Dairy Institute
Dedicated

The Norwegian Agricultural
College at Aas recently dedicated
the new building for it's pace-set-
ting Dairy Institute. The occasion
was attended by large group of
milk producers, dairy specialists
and department officials, headed
by agriculture minister Rasmus
Nordbo.
With a capacity of nearly one
| million gallons of milk a year, the
streamlined experimental dairy is
large enough to meet the research
and educational requirements of
the Agricultural College for many
years to come.
The new building also accomo-
dates a series of laboratories, re-
search and class rooms, as we'll as
administration offices. One of the
important tasks of the Institute
will be to test various types and
makes of dairy machinery to de-
termine which are the most eco
nomical.
The State has contributed Kr.
5.25 million toward construction
costs, and the National Associa-
ton of Norwegian Milk Producers
has Clipped in another Kr. IA
million.

Dismissed Policeman

The Montgomery County per-
sonnet board yesterday REIN
stated Police Pvt. Harry A. Ward
who was dismissed January on
three charges of misconduct.
The board said it found the
dismissal action "unduly severe. "
The board approved reduction of
the disciplinary action to sus-
pension without pay from Janu-
airy l through January 80. and
loss Of a normal one-year in
crement automatic pay increase.
The board noted that Pvt.
Ward "by his own admission is
guilty as charged" He had
ben dismissed for conduct I'M
becoming a police afflcer, leaving
his assigned patrol without per-
mission and failure to report
another officers misconduct.
The board still has under con-
sideration an appeal of a dis

Tax Sale Properties

Prince Georges County has
1885 tax-delinquent properties
advertised for sale at acution on
March /. The figure represents
an increase of 346, or 10 per cent,
over the number at the same time
last year.
Officials believe at least part
of the lag in payment of 1853
levies is the result of employ
ment uncertainty among Gov
eminent workers, who have
docked into the county's northern
section.
The county is required by law
to advertise property delinquent
cies for four weeks before March
/, but the list will be reduced
each week as taxes are paid.
In addition to the 1885, the
county will offer on March l
"a properties bid lin during 1912
and 1943 before passage of a
law providing for saleable titles

the board now has 200 textbooks
under consideration and is un-
able to review them all.
THE result is the job is not
getting done by lay people" Mr..
Bulls said. although he pointed
out that the professional staff
does review all textbooks.
Mr.. Bulls said. Some text
books are held in almost Sc
crecy" He added. in many cases
children are not allowed to take
home the textbooks they use in
class. A shortage of textbooks
was cited by school officials as
one reason for the policy of
holding them in the classroom.
Opposition Grows.
In the earlier conversation Mr..
Bulls said telephone calls he
had received were about 10 to
one in favor of his plan Re-
Gently, he said today, there has
been a preponderance of calls
and letters from organized OPP
position.
Mr. Barrow said all board
members have been deluged with
telephone calls and letters but
he believes the letters hepbas re-
ceived showed a definite pattern
of independent thought rather
than any organized opposition.
The proposed plan to discour-
age citizens review of textbooks
has drawn fire from a number
of organizations including the
county League Of Woman Voters
and the KenSington Branch Of
the American Association of
University Women.
The proposal has been frowned
upon by School Supt. Forbes H.
Norris.

different from other reds. Worlds
Fair has the lagest blooms some
measuring 5 inches when open.
Donald Prior is a big plant, with
lots Of bloom. Crimson Rosette
is a good small rose.
There are no really good
yellow floribundas for this area
but the best Of them are Goldi-
locks and Yellow Pinocchio.
Goldilocks is a small plant with
beautiful blooms but not very
many Of them. Yellow Pinocchio
is a large plant with many
blooms which fade quickly. Take
your choice.
Some White Roses
The whites are:
Summer Snow ------ Medium
Irene Of Denmark - Medium
White Finch -- Medium
Dagmar Spath --+-- Medium
Summer Snow and Irene are
buShy plants with an abundance
OF bloom. White Finch and
Dagmar Spath do not have as
many blooms but their size and
shape is better.

contention. It seems like q rea-
sonable conjecture that this
might be so and, even II it Is to
a degree. there is evidence that
previously thriftless grated
plants have been restored to full
vigor by mulching and providing
additional water during periods
of summer drought. Plants on
their own roots (propagated by
cuttings or layers) would of
course be desirable but at pres
ent these methods are not COM
mercially feasible. However. if
grated plants have adequate
summer-moisture, as evidenced
by the collection at the National
Arboretum. one can expect good
results in this area.
Not EosiIy Available
The first thing that the gar
dener wants to know after see
ing these lovely azaleas is
Where can I buy them?" Al
though most of the clones have
been introduced to this country
there are few nurserymen that
carry any number of them to-
day. This is in most part a re-
Election of the difficulties that
have been experienced in grow
ing them and the cost of i'm
ported stock. 1t is hoped that
experiences gained at the Ma
tional Arboretum in how to
handle these plants will en-
courage nurserymen to make
them more available to gar
deners of this and similar CHI
matte areas.

den and although the listing is
my own preference. still the diff
ference is so slight that the order
Is not too important.
The pinks are the most numer-
Gus classification of floribundas
and all shades from light to
dark are included:
Pink Bountiful ------ Tall
Fashion 1865 Medium
PoulSens Bedder ----. Tall
Ma Perkins -------- Medium
Pinocchio ---------- Medium
Betty Prior ----- Tall
Pink Bountiful is a beautiful
soft pink rose with good healthy
plants. Fashion is a striking
salmon-p pink color but the plants
are very susceptible to disease.
Poulsens Bedder is very similar
to Pink Bountiful with more
blooms but the shape of the
rose is not as good. Ma Perkins
is very similar to Fashion with
a lighter shade of pink. Pinoc-
chic will give lots of bloom but
the plant is also susceptible to
disease. Betty Prior will give a
big splash of color to the garden
all summer long.
Red Gloss Difficult
The red classification is the
hardest to list. Ali of these are
good and the order could be
shuffled in any way and still get
all good roses. My preference is:
Red Pinocchio ---- Tall
FTcIlSIlam ---------- MeQlum
flOraoOra ------------ Iau
Worlds Fair -------- Medium
Donald Prior --------- Tall
Crimson RoSette ------ Small
Red Pinocchio will give an
abundance Of bloom and is a big

40 Clones Messed Here
There is now sufncient EVIL
dence on hand to say that these
beautiful azaleas can be sue
cessfully grown here in a large
number Of clones. The collection
at the National Arboretum now
contains 80 clones of Mollis hy-
brid and so clones of Client hy-
birds arranged in masses for
landscape effect and in a well
labeled study collection.
Good Light for Good Flowers
These azaleas are growing on
a south slope among a thin
scattering of high-trimmed oaks
and tulip trees which means
that they are receiving a high
percentage Of direct sunlight.
Good light is important if

is. however. the deep mulch
(6-8 inches) of leaves beneath
each plant. This mulch prevents
drying out and excessive heating
of the topsail layer. a highly
important consideration with
shallow-rooted plants as azaleas.
Although an oak leaf mulch
