10 Sprinters Meet
In Bowie Head|iner;

By Joseph B. Kelly


opening day fades a bit, Bowie's
33-day race meeting settles more
into routine today with an at
tractive field of allowance cali
ber sprinters furnishing the
competition in the featured $4,-
500 Balko Purse.
A field of 10 sprinters will go
postward in the 6-furlong event,
the seventh race on a Well-bal-
anced card.
Favoritism in the Balko should
lie between Mrs. Ada L. Rice's
Royal Briar, to be ridden by
Jockey Willie Hartack. and
Olympia Wiz, owned by Mrs.
Zelda Cohen of Baltimore.
Joe's JEANNE, Wagon Drill,
Ace Show and Freemenow were
scratched from the feature this
morning.
Yesterdays opening day pro-
duced a number of unexpected
occurrences, topped off by the
victory of Lady Balladier at a
$166.20 mutuel price in the
feature race. With Jockey Oliver
Cutshaw in the saddle, the Rich
mond-owned filly nosed out
Nimble Doll, Mrs. Ada L. Rice's
color bearer, the 2-1 second
choice.
Hartack, who rode Nimble
Doll, salvaged some satisfaction,
however, as he won a debate
before the judges after a foul
was claimed against him by Glen
Glassner. who finished fourth
on Wagon Drill. The stewards
permitted the original result to
stand.
1t was a day of celebration
for Trainer Horace Ellis who
saddled Lady 'Balladier for his
brother Reuben, a Richmond
contractor. Lady Balladier was
only the third thoroughbred
Horace has sent to the post and
his first winner. The filly was
purchased at the Keeneland
sales for $700.
There also was some milder
celebration among the Bowie Of
ficials as the wagering figures
were compiled for the earliest
opening in Maryland history.
With gusty but warm breezes
blowing, 1886 fans watched
proceedings and the betting
totaled $988, ,433. The attend
ance was highest in recent years
for first day at Bowie.
Tommy May. who retired from
riding in 1948 after Is years
in the saddle, has checked in
at Bowie from New Orleans. He
is now training three horses,
including Whirling Bat.
Delaware Park is conducting a
poll among horsemen to deter
mine the 10 greatest mares in
American History. A list of AZ
mares including Beldame, Black
Helen, Gallorette. Nellie Morse,
regret, Top Flight and Twilight
Tear has been sent out to the
200 members of the American
Trainers Association, who will
do the voting.
The poll is being run in con-
nection with the $150,000 Della
ware Handicap, the worlds rich
est race for fillies and mares,
which will have its first running
this year at Delaware Park
July 2.
Trainer Frank Wright of
Laurel, one Of the younger con-
ditioners at Bowie and a gradu-
ate of Duke. is taking over 33
horses formerly trained by
Tommy Rodrock.
Two stables are involved. One
is Happy Hill Farm, owned by
Cortright Wetherill of Phila-
delphia. and the other owned by

2. The increase allowed a grower gen.

WATCH WHEAT

commodity problem.
Latest move by Benson is to turn for
advice to his brain trust, the National
Agricultural Advisory Commission, ito
review the wheat surplus situation and
consider problems related to this i'm
portant basic crop.''
Here are changes in government
wheat programs that are being studied
by the commission, headed by Dean
William Myers of Cornell:
!. Whether controls should be placed
over bushels of output, rather than on
acreage as at present.
2. Whether the government should
move in to restrict wheat planting on
marginal lands where wind erosion is
a special problem.
8. Whether support programs for
wheat should be more closely geared
with various grades and classes of
wheat. There have been mounting COM

and exporters about foreign material

been a decline in per capita consump-
ton of bread grains.
4. Whether practical ways can be
found to expand the use of wheat for
feed. Legislation already has been intro
duced in Congress to allow farmers to
grow and feed wheat in excess of mar
keting quotas without penalty.
Up for discussion once more on Capt.

for support of wheat-a comparatively

HORTICULTURAL FIELD DAY SET
 FOR AUGUST v

Home gardeners and truck farmers will see an eye-filling horticultural display at the Ma tanuska Experiment Farm We'd nesday, August IT.
 The annual horticultural field day at which scientists of the AL aska Agricultural Experiment Station explain their research projects and results to date will begin at ' pm.
 Additionally one of the most in- feresting parts of the tour is the vegetable variety trials which reveal those vegetable varieties best suited to Alaskan gardens. This years cabbage spacing and fertilizing experiment is expected to receive close attention from commercial growers. A potato variety test for early and late planting and potato fertilization and nutrition experiments will draw similar interest.
 The search for superior rhu- barb and raspberry varieties has netted some promising specimens and visitors will also be shown the horticulturalists' progress on breeding a winter-hardy, red. fruited strawberry for Alaska. Tree fruits, long a scarce item in Alaska, will be shown as will ornamental shrubs adaptable to far North gardens.
 The tour will be conducted by District Agricultural Agent Lew Hanks and will begin at the farm buildings of the Experimental Farm near Matanuska.

If you go around saying what an

yourself so long as it does not run
