As matter OF fact, it would be formi-
da6le task to recite even basic portion of
Cadillac'S cardinal virtues for 1954-for
the car is superlative in every respect and
has been markedly advanced in every phase
OF appearance and operation.
Of course, it would take only an hour
on the highway to understand what it all
means in terms Of pleasure and satisfac-
tlon-and what's why we suggest that you
come in and see us-soon.
There is, literally, no motoring experience
to match a demonstration drive in a 1854
Cadillac. It's both thrill and an education.
Why not make it today?

Four different filters were test
ed in the experiments. The orr
ginal material in all filters was
planer shavings; the difference
in the filters was in the thickness
and age.
One litter was seven inches
thick, three years old and in good
working condition at the surface.
Another was seven inches thick,
one year old and in good condi-
ton. The third litter was seven
inches thick and unused. The
fourth litter, which was only IL
inches thick, had been used for
two months and was in good
condition.
Thermometer readings showed
the thin litter was the coolest,
having an average temperature
of 74.3 F. The three-year-old,
built-up litter was the Warmest,
having an average temperature
of 789. The average difference
between these two filters was
4.6. The maximum difference re-
corded was 10 in favor of the
thin litter.

"a lot of progress has been
made in production methods"
says Professor George D. Quigley
of the University of Maryland
poultry department. But in our
rush for expansion we have pro-
badly passed over a lot of little
things.
Take summer heat for ex-
ample. Progressive poultrymen
have learned to combat summer
heat by such things as ventila-
ton to let out of poultry houses
and aluminium roofing to reflect
the heat rays of the sun. No duobt
there are a lot of producers who
firmly believe in these things,
but only few have considered
that litter might have something
to do with summer comfort"
Professor Quigley says that ex-
periments at the University of
Maryland show that temperatures
vary in different types of litter.
Litter temperature could mean a
lot on hot day, he explains, be-
cause birds are in contact with it
almost constantly.

line for this purpose. 1t is, a
simple matter to remove the plug
and insert the fittings and value
for this connection. If a pump
is not provided with a plug, a
plumbing shop can drill and tap
the intake line for the necessary
fittings. 1t is also convenient to
have similar outlet on the pre-
sure or discharge side of the
pump in order to fill the barrel
with water for dissolving the
fertilizer.
DR.. Reynolds lists the follow
ing pointers which should be
followed in applying fertilizer
through irrigation water:
% Use only fertilizer which is
completely soluble in water. Sug-
gested sources of nitrogen in
clude urea and nitrate of soda.
(2) Introduce the fertilizer
Solutlon INTO the irrigation SyS-
tenn during the last half of the

CD Just before all the fertilizer

tenn, the value on the fertilizer

is important, for if air is sucked

may become imprinted.
(4 Continue pumping water
through the system for 10 to Is
minutes after the fertilizer solu-
ton has been introduced. This
will flush the fertilizer out of the

We Can't Put a Headline On

Another week" Maryland
farmers are preparing themsel

up Aug. 1.
Montgomery will be one of the
five State Counties on this year.
tour, which stresses the necessity
of water conservation.
Other Counties are Baltimore
Carroll, Hartford and Howard.
Several factors were consider
ed by the County Land Week
committees in choosing the theme
of water conservation, according
to Charles p. Ellington, Univer
sity of Maryland assistant exten
sion soil conservationist anC
secretary of the Maryland Lane
Week committee.
Clean, unpolluted water is, OF
course, a necessity to residential
commercial and industrial areas
Ellington points out silt lader
or muddy waters result in high
er costs of storage in reservoirs
and cleaning through filtration
This causes a greater expense to
the consumer. Mud or silt also
reduces the value of streams and
reservoirs for swimming and
fishing, thereby making them
practically useless as recreation
areas"
The soil conservationist SAYS
that most of these troubles found
in our urban water supplies car
be traced back upstream to neg
lectful management of fields
streams, roadbanks and woodlots
He adds that water running off
the farmlandS carries with it sol
and plant foods that are lost as
far as crop production is con
cerned.
Conservationists have OTTER
said that every one benefits wher
farmers follow proper water con
servation practices. Farmers pro
fit because most of the water
that falls on farms can soak into
the earth where it can be utilized
by growing crops, and the exces.
can be safely led off the farm by
means of terraces, outlets anC
erased waterways. At the sam,
time, floods are reduced and silta
ton of streams, reservoirs anC
harbors is held to a minimum.
The Land Week theme of watel
conservation will be developed

in Baltimore County with a tour
of the Loeb Raven reservoir and
watershed on August 3.
Carroll County will hold three
small watershed meetings in diff
ferent parts of the county to
acquaint farmers with the ad-
vantages they may derive from
proper protection of their land.
Another feature of the Carroll
County program is a tour of
Bachman Valley on Friday, Au-
gust 6.
Hartford, Howard and Mont
gomery counties will hold similar
programs of interest to farm and
urban citizens alike" Ellington
adds. "The public is cordially in
vited to attend any or all of the
programs.
FERTILIZE VIA WATER?
The use of supplemental irriga.
ton has spread rapidly in Mary,
and. And when farmers take on
4 new practice like this, they in
evitably begin to look for ways
to make it as efficient as possible.
For example, many Maryland
farmers using irrigation have
wondered about adding fertilizers
% their crops through irrigation
water.
Here's what DR.. Charles w.
Reynolds of the University of
Maryland horticulture depart.
ment has to say about this labor
and time-saving-idea:
ANY completely water soluble
fertilizer may be applied I'm this
way, but its greatest use will
probably be for the addition of
nitrogen in the later stages of
crop development. If crops are
being irrigated, soluble sources
Of nitrogen may be applied easily
and effectively with minimum
of labor through the irrigation
system"
DR.. Reynolds adds that the
usual method is to dissolve the
fertilizer in a convenient quaint.
ity of water in a barrel or drum.
The barrel containing the ferti-
lizer solution is connected to the
suction or intake side fthe
pump through a small pipe or
hose. A cutoff value must be
provided at or near the pump.

Bottom fishing is the simplest
form OF ocean fishing next to
netting. and corresponds to bait
fishing in fresh water for pan
fish. 1t usually is looked down
upon by those who angle for big
tuna, sailfiSh, dolpnlns, martins
and such species. But having
done considerable fishing Of both
kinds. outdoor writer Bill Wolf
says he fail to see why bottom
fishing should be Scorned
The man Who lands bid tuna
or sail can credit about 90 per
cent to his tackle. his boat and
his boat handler, and only 10 per
cent to his own skill The bottom
fisherman exercises at least that
much skill. and often more. He
has more fun for m uc h less
money and he certainly catches
more fish
Even novices haul in porgieS.
and the like. But / have always
noticed that the experienced
angler catches more than the
beginner and takes bigger and
more desirable fish-so skill is
involved
Since knowledge of the tackle
used is most important in bot
tom fishing, I'd like to relay on
to you some of VOLTS ideas about
rods. He says IF l could influ-
ence the average bottom fisher
man. l would suggest throwing
out 9/l0ths of what he owns and
buying lighter tackle He invari-
ably goes out equipped to horse
in whales"
Many boat ros weighs Ia to
10 ounces, they are used to
catch fish weighing from z to 3
pounds, or approximately what
A. to 6-ounce fly rod will take
in fresh water. Granted, a boat
rod must handle heavy lead at
the bottom of the line. But this
does't justify employing a rod
big enough to land a 50-pound
fish. So buy a boat as though
you were going to use it as a rod
instead Of something with which
to beat fish TO death.
Wolf prefers rod with
lightweight tip of AZ to 5l2 feet,
plus the length OF the butt, be-
cause then you can fish comfort
ably from a pier or from one OF
the les desirable spots on a
party where longer rod can
reach out over the side.

Dear Sirs:
I'VE, the patrons of The Viz

have learned that they are again
asking for an increase in their
charges, and that a hearing will
be held before you on the le.h of
June next.
We are unalterably opposed to
their being granted an increase,
and think there should be a re-
duction. due to the facts that
most of us are having to use the
same old phones and central sys-
tenn that was in use forty years
ago, with the usual wrong num-
Der and false rings. We are told
that We cannot have dial phones
now.
They will surely present facts
and figures to show that they are
not able to make enough money
to maintain salaries and expenses
and pay adequate return on in
vested capital.
If this is true. I have data and
every reason to believe that It
could we'll be due to management
and personnel within the COM
pany. and not inadequate CHARGES.
Il am informed that they have
been granted an increase in
charges within the last four years.
and know that they have doubl-
ed the pay station rate for local
calls.
