NEW YORK, (GlobaD. Every
one has had his say about Elston
Howard and the New York Yam
KEGS. and we must admit the field
has been pretty well covered. But,
we must add, our 2 cents worth,
because for months now we have
been picking away at the Yankees
on the matter of hiring a Negro,
and now that one has actually
donned the uniform, we could
hardly be expected to take it
lightly.
We. didn't feel the Yanks were
justified in playing around with
Howard the way they did last year,
and we said so. But we were will
ing to forgive and forget when
Howard finally appeared in the
lineup against the. Detroit Tigers
last Saturday, and we were glad
to see Howard prove he belonged
by betting a triple that assured the
Yankee victory.
We must admit that we can see
considerable Improvement in How
ards playing this year, but we do
not think he had to be "sent down"
last year in order to get the polish
ing off he needed. He still has some
round spots to be ironed out in his
fielding, but he fills the Yankees
bill when it comes to relief for
Yogi Berra. His hitting ability has
long been recognized.
r Howard has proved himself to
be a fine person in addition to
being a good ballpyaer, and he
would be "a credit to any team. The
ever-cautious Yankees chose him

Look for Canker
Signs in Roses

While your rose plants are still
dormant, examine them for signs
of canker.
DR.. L. o. Weaver, University OF
Maryland Extension plant Patio
logist, describes canker as a dis.
eased area on a woody cane. On
a dose, it is a spot of dead tissue
which may enlarge until it grid
les the cane and finally kills the
whole branch, was the informa
ton given to county agricultural
office.
If you should find infection
prune your bushes to remove the
weak or diseased areas and burn
the branches.
DR.. Weaver says the two most
common canker diseases found or
roses are brown canker and stem
canker.
Brown canker is most severe
on hybrid tea roses. During the
winter, especially on lower por
tons of canes that are moist, the
cankers enlarge. Small black
pimple-like fruiting bodies of the
fungus develop in the cankered
areas.

Fertilize Cover Crops
Now, Is Advice

II you should happen to see a
Maryland vegetable grower out in
his fields spreading commercial
fertilizer one of these January
days, don't jump to the conclus-
ion that guy is crazy.
Chances are he is following the
recommendation of research
workers, and is fertilizing his COW
err crop now SO he can get better
growth of vegetable crops next
summer, states Delbert Foster,
County Agriculture Agent.
DR.. Francis Stark, vegetable
specialist in the University of
Maryland department of horti-
culture explains the purpose of
fertilizing cover crops now:
Nitrogen, phosphoric acid, pot
ash and other beneficial minerals
are taken up by the cover crop.
When present in cover crops in
organic form, the fertilizer ele-
ments do not leach out rapidly
when the cover crop is plowed
down. Thus, they are available
over longer period of time"
Another advantage of winter
applications of fertilizer to cover
crops is that there is less conflict
with other farm work at this
time of year. 1t doesn't show UP
the blowing and fitting of land,
and helps to spread out the labor.
DR.. Stark says nitrogen is the
nutrient taken up most rapidly
by the cover crop. Applications of
up to so pounds of nitrogen
equivalent of 500 pounds 1910
100 per acre gives a big boost to
the growth of a cover crop.
On heavy soils, where tomatoes
are to be grown, most of the fer
tilizer may be applied during the
winter on the cover crop. On san
dy soils, a smaller amount may
