On q recent trip to Capri.
Songwriter Gerald Marks dis
covered the little silver bells
sold for good luck charms at
the Mission Of San Michele.
He brought one back and. to-
gether with Stanley Adams.
wrote a song about 1t.
The legend Is that once upon
q time there was q little shep-
herd whose only wealth was .
small hut shared by his Wild
owed mother and q lamb which
he grazed on the slopes Of
Mount Solaro.
One evening. as 1t was get
ting dark, the shepherd lin
gered to pick flowers. and when
turned around the lamb was no
longer in sight. Wondering
what would happen to him and
his poor mother. he thought he
heard q distant and feeble
ringing Of bells. and thinking
1t might be the sound Of the
bell the lamb wore about Its
neck. he rushed In that direc-
ton. He continued his flight.
unaware Of pebbles, thistles
and the fall Of night. until he
came to the edge Of Q ravine.
Here q sudden flash Of light
stopped the boy. and Saint
Michael appeared to him. De-
taching q small bell that hung
on his breast, Saint Michael
bade the shepherd to take It,
telling him to always follow
its sound, and 1t would keep
him from danger.
The little shepherd. thrilled
with joy and emotion. took the
gift home to his mother. and
when he withdrew 1t from his
shabby jacket. 1t was miracu-
lousy encased in q beautiful
flower. After that his life was
filled with Joy and happiness,
and all his wishes were full
filed. On the spot where the
apparition took place the Mis-
sion Of San Michele was built.
and the miraculous little bell
has become q talisman Of luck
and success.

song, THE Lucky Little Bell

based on the legend. It's =
truly lovely melody, haunting

1900 Graduate
At Maryland U

Approximately 1900 students
of the College Park and Balti-
more campuses of the Univer-
sity of Maryland will be gradual
ed at commencement exercises to
be held at College Park, Mary
land on June 4, at 9:45 a. m.
The ceremony will be the first
graduating class of Dr. Wilson
H. Elkins and will be the first
activity to be held in the new
Student Activities Buildin, which
has just been completed.
Featured speaker for the occa-
sion will be DR.. Vernon w. Lip
pard, Dean of the Yale Univer-
sity School of Medicine.
Commencement at the Univer-
sity will also feature a reunion
of the College Park Schools AL
umni Association. The Alumni
program will include a luncheon
at II o'clock, campus tours and
class reunions, for the years 1905,
1910, 1915, 1920, 1925, 1890, 1885,
1910 and 1915. The commence
ment reunion will be concluded
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-05-26

with an Alumni banquet and re-
ception, to be held at the Univer-
sity's Dining Hall at 6 p. m.
DR.. Lippard, who has been
Dean at the Yale Medical School
since 1882, is one of the nations
leading authorities on medical
education and administration. He
received both his undergraduate
and medical training at Yale.
In the two decades between his
departure from Yale as a stu
dent and his return as Dean, DR..
Lippard has served at Cornell,
Columbia, Louisiana State and
Virginia.
The new Student Activity
Building in which the exercises
will be held has just been COM
pleted at an approximate cost of
$3,000,000. The building, design
ed primarily for sporting events,
will be used for commencement
exercises and conversations. The
stands seating capacity is 12,500,
which, with floor chairs, can be
augmented to $4,000.

He adds tsat agitation also
causes lipase to become highly
active. There is a possibility of
a rancid taste being "agitated'
into milk if it runs through a
succession of pumps, elbows and
tee-joints in pipe lines and hold
ing tanks, especially if the cool
ing system is not efficient.
Most farmers probably won't
have this trouble" the dairy
chemist says, "but it's still good
idea to build pipe lines with as
few joints and turns as possible,
and to use no more pumps than
are necessary in handling the
milk"
Pasteurization stops lipase &C.
tivity, but it does not remove the
off flavor that results from &C.
tivity before pasteurization.

Wanted: New Buyers
For Egg Surplus

Many egg producers find it diff
ficult at this time of year to sell
eggs at a profitable price. The
reason might be that they are
faithfully standing by their regu-
lar egg buyers, when they could
find better markets in their areas
by considering every possible egg
outlet.
TOO often, farmers fail to real
ize they have five or six alterna-
tive methods or market outlets
for selling their eggs" says DR..
Harold Smith, poultry and egg
marketing specialist in the Uni
versity of Maryland department
of agricultural economics.
He says that in one study con-
Quoted by the University, it was
found that the farm price of
eggs for a given week varied
from 81 to 60 cents per dozen,
depending on where farmers sold
their eggs.
A number of farmers develop
a good market right at their
front door, selling to people who
stop at the farm and want to buy
eggs. This involves a minimum
cost of marketing, and the farm

Dairy farmers can eliminate
one source of off flavor in milk
by limiting the activities of an
engine called lipase.
DR.. Mark Kenney, chemist in
the University of Maryland dairy
department, explains that lipase
breaks down butterfat Free bu-
lyric acid is produced in the
breakdown, and milk containing
free butyric acid has a rancid
flavor. The acid can also produce
a rancid flavor in butter churned
from raw. cream, unless lipaSe &C.
tivity is controlled.
"The activity of ipase is slow
ed down by low temperatures" "
DR.. Keeney says. $50 if milk is
cooled quickly to temperature
of about 40 F. and seld there,
it shouldn't have a chance to de-
velop the typical rancid flavor
caused by free butyric acid.
However, the engine reacts
quickly if the temperature of the
milk rises to above So F. and
goes to work breaking down but

Horde of Insects
Descend on Gardens

From early spring until late
fall home gardeners are faced
with the problem of protecting
plants from persistent pests.
Sucking, rasping, boring, chew
ing insects constantly threaten
the well-being of our vegetables,
fruits and ornamentals. In addi-
ton, many mildew diseases may
blight our paintings as they ap-
proach disable maturity.
In the past, gardeners have had
to tsock copper, sulpher, arsen-
ate, pyrethrin, nicotine and 9TH
ers. While these materials are ex-
cellent pesticides if properly used
they are often puzzling to the no.
vice.
Today home gardeners with on
ly small plots can profit and save
time by buying one of the "all-
purpose" mixtures that are now
on the market. Various manufac-

prices.
Other alternatives are coopera-
tives, wholesalers, retailers, no.
tells, restaurants, direct delivery
to consumers, country stores and
selling to so-called egg hucksters
who come around once or twice
a week to buy eggs.
Finally, there is the possibility
of selling Matching eggs, provid-
ing the flock is approved and ar
engagements have been made with
a hatchery.
DR.. Smith says price is natur-
ally one of the most important
things to consider in making a
choice of market outlets. An
other consideration is the cost of
marketing-obviously, it costs
more to sell eggs direct to the
housewife in the city than it
does to sell at the farm.
"The thing egg producers must
always remember, he emphasiz-
es, "is never to ignore a poten-
tial egg market. 1t might turn
out to be the best market"

Some of the newest, most effec

sold commercially as DITHANE

A. A METHOXYCHLOR plus
MALATHION mixture may also
be bought and the ZINEB added
just before using.
These materials may also be
bought as dusts and applied sep
arately or in combinations. Dusts
are seldom as effective as sprays
but are satisfactory if applica-
ton is thorough.
Some pesticide mixtures also
contain ROTENONE-a good in
secticide for beans and leafy
greens where poisonous residue
might be injurious. AS matter
of fact, on leaf crops, it is best
to use ROTENONE alone for in
sect control.
In all cases read the labels on
pesticide containers and follow
tse manufacturer directions.
If a good job of controlling
pests is done early it should not
be necessary to spray or dust

4 Pct. Cotton
Cut Sought
BY the Associated Press

The Nations cotton growers
have been asked to approve a
a per cent cut in acreage for
next years crop as a step to curb
further accumulation of surplus
stocks.
II the new marketing quotas
proposed yesterday by Secretary
of Agriculture Benson are ap-
proved at a December 10 refer
endum the national planting
allotment will drop from 1919
208 acres this year to 1881 ,304
next year.
Approval is required by at
least two-thirdS Of the growers
voting. but quotas on cotton have
never been rejected.
Mr.. Benson did not say at
what rate next years cotton
crop would be supported. This
year the support rate is 80 per
cent of parity. 1t could drop
next year to IS per cent or
lower under the Eisenhower adj
|ministration's flexible price prop
system. Parity is a farm price
standard said by law to be fair
to farmers in relation to their
costs.
The proposed national plant
ing allotment is designed to pro-
duce 10 million bales. The allot-
ment was set at the smallest
