Treatment Helps
Seeds Get Started

Vegetables must overcome many
hazards before they finally pro-
duce crop. The first Of these
hazards are organisms and insects
in the soil that may destroy the
seed on the young Seeding plant.
DR.. l.. O. Weaver, plant patholo-
gist in the University of Maryland
botany department, reminds vege-
table growers that chemical treat
ment is one of the first steps to
insure a good crop. He points out
that chemical dusts such as Arasan.
Spergon, Semesan and Captain kill
organisms that might be on the
surface Of the seeds and also acts
as a protective barrier against
organisms in the soil.
All common garden vegetables
benefit from the seed treatment.
Treated seed may be planted I'M
mcdiately, or held until favorable
planting weather without risk of
injury from the treatment. Dr..
Weaver says any unused chemical
may be kept in a safe place in a
tightly closed container from year
to year.
The plant disease specialist says
that many vegetable growers have
long used chemical seed treatment
to protect against decay organisms,
but do not know combination
treatment is on the market that
gives some vegetables protection
against organisms and insects.
Plant Psychologists and entomolo-
gistS at the University of Mary
land have cooperated in expert
ments with the combination chem
zeal. They have found it beneficial
on snap beans, lima beans and
sweet corn. Complete results have
not been obtained on other crops.
Fungicidc-insecticide chemical is
available in small packages for
home gardeners and in larger
quantities for commercial growers.
Recommendations for easy appli-
cation are given on the package.

Lower Excise Taxes
Benefit Phone Users

The effect Of Federal excise tax
reductions on Oakland telephone
users was explained today by X.
X. Dayton, local c. and p. man
ager.
THE lower excise tax rates went
into effect for both local and long
distance service on April l." Day
tom said, (which means that Oak
land subscribers will see the first
reductions on their April bills"
The Federal excise tax rate was
formerly 15f, on local service and
long distance calls up to 25c. On
call Of 25c and over, a 25H tax
rate applied. The flat 1919 rate now
applies on monthly service charges
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-04-08

as we'll as local and long distance
calls.
1t was explained that the change
does not apply to the operating
taxes paid by the company from
/ its revenues. These taxes amounted
to $2597 per Maryland Customer
in 1858.
According to Dayton the reduc-
tions will mean, for example, an
immediate saving of about $4,000
year for businessman in Oak
land who has individual line serv-
ice and averages $1,000 per month
for out of town calls" Residence
users will benefit proportionately.
As result, he said, general
business activity in the community
will intend to increase as telephone
usage increased, especially on long
distance calls.

things as nice appearance, long
life and as little maintenance as
possible. A material that meets
these qualifications recently was
placed on the market as a pack
aged siding. 1t is Masonite Siding,
made of Tempered Presdwood, an
atwood panel that has proved it
self over a quarter-century under
all weather conditions.
Masonite Siding comes in widths
that are ideal for ranch style
houses-12, 16 or "a inches. These
widths are inexpensive, and they
add greatly to the appearance, used
as lap siding with shadow strips.
Of course, Masonite Siding can be
used as panel siding, too, with
attractive batten strips for a nice
architectural effect.
Countless builders are turning
to this siding because it is econom-
ical in first cost, in application
and in upkeep. It's smoothness and
high density make Masonite Sid
ing an ideal base for paint. The
absence of grain and knots gives
it unusual paint-holding qualities
meaning that you have fewer
repainting jobs.

Corners just aren't good in
chicken house. Another reason is
that they are difficult to clean.
Here's how some farmers have
kept their biddies from so foolishly
getting into fatal corner. They've
taken long strip of Masonite Is "
Tempered Presdwood, two feet
wide, and curved it around the
corners, mailing the ends to the wall
studs and the curved center to a
2"x4" stake jutting out from the
corner. This neat trick eliminates
the corner.
AS long as the Presdwood was
"de-fatalizing" the corners, many
poultry men have extended the ma
terial all the way around the chick
en- house, so that it serves as .
peck-proof strip. Tempered Presd
wood is SO tough and smooth that
chickens can make no impression
on it.
