Potato Scab Often
Causes Serious Loss
of Tubers in Md.

Maryland potato growers who
have not had trouble with scab
would be justified in either: O)
Patting themselves on the back,
or CIV knocking on wood
They can pat themselves ON the
back if they have taken special
precautions to prevent the disease.
Those who haven't taken pre-
ventive measures and still had no
trouble with the disease can knock
on wood, because they are just
plain lucky.
Scab is a common disease Of po-
tatoes and often causes serious
loss Of tubers in Maryland, ac-
cording to DR.. L. O. Weaver, Uni
vcrsity Of Maryland Extension

He explains that scab on the
tubers is caused by fungus which
is present in soil where potatoes
have been grown for many years.
The organism thrives in a sweet"

brown; incubation by both sexes
about 30 days.
HABITS: Destroys small rodents
and insects, also some small birds;
Stomach analysis of a number of
sparrow hawks showed $3.50 in
sects, 20ao rodents, 8ha6 small
birds; also some frogs and snakes.
MANAGEMENT: This little hawk
is worthy of our protection for it's
grace and beauty and for its de-
struction of many injurious small
mammals and insects. Is much
more beneficial than harmful.
VALUE: Valuable for its beauty
and graceful flight and for its
destruction of injurious insects
and mice. If other food not avail
able it will attack and capture
small birds, mostly sparrows. 1t
is unlawful to kill a sparrow hawk
in over half of the states; unpro-
tected in Maryland. "Spare the

YEAR OF DECISION

In former President Harry Tru-
mans memoirs, first volume, en-
titled year of Decision" some
Of the most interesting passages
concern the meetings between
Stain, Truman and Winston
Churchill or Clement Atlee. One
can see why the British, for ex-
ample, did not relish the thought
Of Truman publishing his records
of these meetings.
For one thing, Sir Winston
Churchill and Marshal Joseph
Stain often engaged in rather
sharp exchanges. Although we
are depending largely on MI. Tru-
mans intimate accounts of these
meetings, it would seem that Mr..
Truman engaged in less personal
shenanigans, and attempted to
keep the conferences, especially
that at Potsdam, on a level which
would expedite some accomplish
ments.
However, he early became con-
WINGED that the conferences
achieved little in the way of con-
crete results. Truman also be-
came convinced that the Russians
were not at the conference to
seek harmony and peaceful settle
ment and cooperation as were
Great Britain and the United
States. Russia, it was apparent,
