County, County Cops
Vie for Courtesy Prize

Montgomery County police
men, already known to county
motorists as paragons of cour-
tesy, were putting new edge on
their manners this week.
The county cops, along with
others in the State, are eligible
for a free weekend vacation if
their acts of courtesy are observ-
ed and reported in a letter.
Convinced tn It Maryland's
thousands of policemen are her
best travel salesmen," the Mary
land Travel Council is holding
Statewide weekly contests to find
and reward the "the cop of the
week..
The rules are simple, according
to Paul w. McAuliffe of Fred
erick, president, and the travel
ling public will share in the
awards won by the "cop of the
week..
Every traveller in Maryland is
eligible to nominate candidates
for the "top cop" award" said
Mr.. McAuliffe. eff you need
travel direction or advice, ask a
policeman. He will direct you
courteously and efficiently, so
take his name, badge number,
and address, and write a short

Two County Farmers Grow
'Pedigreed' Corn of Potency

Highly bred cattle, hogs and
chickens which take prizes at
Fairs for production and bring
high prices on the market, are
no longer the only products the
farmer raises from a pedigreed
source. Now he may plant a
hybrid seed corn which assures
him a high yield for grain or
silage.
What is a hybrid? A hybrid
is the result of crossing two pure
strains to get the desirable char
acteristics of each.
The hybrid seed corn grower
must really love the land, enjoy
farming and know his corn as
well as his onions. Planting in
the spring, cultivating a couple
times during the growing season
and harvesting in the fall, is only
a small part of producing hybrid
seed. To avoid contamination a
seed field must be ego feet dis
tant from other corn.
In Maryland, to produce certi-
fled hybrid seed corn the grower
must get foundation seed from
an approved source. This foun-
dation is two different single
cross hybrids. The seed grower
will cross these two single cross
es to make the commercial dou-
BILE cross hybrid. To do this the
grower plants two rows of the
pollen parent and six rows of
the seed parent.
When the corn begins to tas-
sci, it is necessary to remove
tassels from the corn in the six
seed rows so the ears on these
rows will be pollinated only
from the tassels of the other
two rows.
Once corn begins to tassel, de-
tasseling takes precedence over
everything else on the farm, for
during this period (ten days to
two weeks) all tassels must be
pulled before shedding pollen;
and State Inspectors are on the
job. Good rains now will pro-
duce a heavier crop but these
tassels must be pulled. rain or
shine-and Sunday tooS When
the last tassel has been pulled,
your seed grower has time to
catch up on other farm work
or go fishing.
Hybrid seed is not harvested
until thoroughly mature and dry,
with great care being taken to
keep the corn from the pollen
rows separate from that of the
seed rows. This pollen corn is
used for feed.
The grower will now spend
most of the winter drying, sort
ing and Smelling his seed crop.
The next process is grading to

other sections which l under
stand are being presently con-
sidered by your Agency"
If CHA established permanent
headquarters in nearby Virginia,
Senator Butler said, Gin case of
emergency, traffic across the
Potomac might very well be i'm
possible and this would seriously
cripple the operations of a vital
agency such as CHA, were it
located to the south of the Poto-
mac River"
Maryland's senior Senator said
that in relocating CHA, four i'm
portant factors must be con-
sidered:
Cd Headquarters location must
be in compliance with the die
tates of national defense and the
enforcement of security regula-
tons; ca headquarters must
afford effective liaison with the
White House and Government
agencies in Washington both in
times of peace and emergency;
49, the location should be con.
venient and acceptable to a ma
jority of CHA employees to pre-
serve morale; and "a headquar-
tiers should be on site inherently
suitable from an engineering
standpoint with pleasant sur
roundings and room for expan-
sion.
There are numerous sites in
nearby Maryland which possess
these qualifications" the Senator
said. 1.-THE residents of these
proposed locations would well
come the presence of your fine
organization in their commu-
nifty"

termination tests are run by the
State Seed Laboratory and GER
LITIGATION tags sealed on the bags.
After several years of testing,
the advantages of hybrid corn
were recognized and production
of certified seed was begun in
Maryland in 1871.
Every year since that time 10
to 20 farmers of the State have
produced Maryland Certified
Seed Corn. In 1854 ten farmers
in six counties grew 200 acres
of seed corn.
Montgomery County has two
growers-Osburn and Stanley
Stabler. Osburn, who lives on
Spencerville Rd., has been a sue
cessful hybrid seed corn grower
since 1911. Stanley Stabler, for
a number of years associated
with the Maryland Experiment
Station and later Extension
Agronomist, is now producing n.y.
brid seed corn on his farm at
Brookeville.

Jump in Dairy Product Eating
Hailed as Diet Cain BY Council

Americans consumed almost 81
billion pounds of dairy foods Cor
about 40 pounds per capital in
1854.
This represents, in spite of en-
ormous population increases, a
seven percent rise in per person
consumption of milk and milk
products since before World War
II.
Nationally, the seven percent
gain means Americans placed
~ billion more pounds of dairy
foods on the family table than
they would have at the 1859
average annual rate of 382
pounds per capita.
What about the surplus?
Milk production on the farm
(123.5 billion pounds) exceeded
human consumption in 1854 by
only % quarts of milk per per-
son. Statisticians say an extra
gulp a day per person would
have handled it.
Comparing 1854 with 1858,
sales of fluid milk and cream,
butter, cheese and nonfat dry
milk solids showed gains-with
evaporated and condensed milks
and ice cream only slightly down.
But over the long haul, all
dairy foods except butter have
made substantial gains in usage
on the family table. And butter
has reversed the downward trend
that has persisted over the past
several years, rising to 9 lbs. per
capita in 1854 after a record low
of Sc lbs. in both 1852 and 1853.
These and other dairy food con-
sumption facts were revealed
here today through issuance of
the 1855 edition of "FIow Ameri-
cans Use Their Dairy Foods" an
annual publication of the Nation
al Dairy Council.
According to the National
Dairy Council, the gains in con-
sumption represent a better pub
lie understanding of the import
ant place dairy foods play in the
American diet for good nutrition
and tasteful eating.

Butler Wants
CHA to Move
To Maryland

Senator John Marshall Butler
(R-Md.) this week urged that the
Central Intelligence Agency
locate its permanent headquar-
tors in nearby Maryland.
In a letter to Allen w. Dulles,
CHA Director, Senator Butler said
the Free State has numerous
sites "for optimum compliance
with defense and security re-
quirements." Furthermore, he
wrote, these sites are in "attrac-
tive locations which offer ade-
quate water and sewage possibili-
ties (and) can be obtained at
reasonable prices compared with

the softened paint. The best
method would be to use power
driven wire brush but, If you are
unable to obtain one. use sand
paper and steel wool. Pay par
ticular attention to the edges of
bare spots so as to remove the
ridge, leave all paint which is
firmly adhered and do not try
to remove the aluminium paint
as 1t Is one of the best possible
bases for enamel.
Wax Sticky.
II have been using q water
emulsion wax on my oak floors.
Recently. I noticed that the sur
face of them seems sticky. We
have lots of rain so do you sup
pose the dampneSs could be the
cause?'" Mrs. B. K. B. asks.
Answer-When water emulsion
wakes are used, there is a tend
ency for it to build up thick de-
posits. These might become
sticky. The remedy is to remove
all of the wax and start over
with a very thin application.
The old wax can be taken off
with -turpentine and fine steel
wool or you can use one of the
products made by the floor wax
manufacturers for this purpose.
Water emulsion wakes are fine
for asphalt tile and linoleum
but the paste or liquid wakes do
much better job on oak floors.

inferior to that magnificent
golden oak ice box that your
father probably had. Modern
paints do contain some lead, but
they also contain zinc and
titanium oxides. Do you re-
member how lead paint turned
yellow, became brittle an6
cracked off in chunks? Modern
paint always remains snow white
and never cracks unless moisture
gets behind it.
Damp Garage Floor.
1.-THE floor in my garage is
always damp. How can I remedy
this?" Mrs. j. M. S. asks.
Answer-The dampness on q
garage floor is due to condensa-
ton. The floor is cold and
moisture from the air collects
On it. 1t can be prevented by
heating the floor, but this is
seldom practical.
Painting Radiators.
my steam radiators were
painted with cream colored stove
enamel over a base of aluminium
paint. When the heat was
turned on, the enamel blistered
badly and is peeling. I have
tried to scrape off this paint but
it is a tedious job and aluminium
paint is very difficult to take off

my kitchen was recently
covered with asphalt tile.I but it
is very disappointing. Many
marks and dents are appearing.
especially around the dinette
table, which seem to be caused
by chair legs. Is there some
remedy?" Mrs. P. L. T. asks.
Answer-Asphalt tile is an
excellent floor covering but the
surface is subject to indentations
caused by the weight of furniture
resting on it. These marks can
be prevented by the simple
process of putting furniture rests
under the legs of chairs and
tables as this distributes the
weight over larger area.
An abused floor will not take
a high gloss when waxed and
therefore the use of furniture
rests is well worth the small ef-
fort and cost Of installing them,
which any one can do.
The maximum load which as
phalt tile will take without dent
ing is Is pounds per square inch.
These furniture rests are there
fore made IN a wide variety of
sizes and shapes for the various
los DIS that will be placed upon
them.
A problem common to most
housekeapers is the prevention
of streaks on linoleum and as
phalt tile caused by the metal
of modern tubular chairs that
have long parts of the tubes in
contact with the floor. Cotter-
type rests are excellent for over
coming this condition. Four
small holes are drilled into the
bottoms of these tubes and the
rests inserted. Another simple
but temporary method for use on
these chairs is to turn the chair
upside-down and attach a piece
of adhesive tape along the edge
which contacts the floor.
House Paint.
"In a northern area where
I formerly lived ! used white
lead house paint. I am unable
to buy this in my new location,
where the paint seems to have
everything in it except lead.
Am right in assuming that this
paint is inferior to real lead
paint?" C.. M. B. writes.
Answer-It is no more in
ferior to lead paint than your
cleaning electric refrigerator is

Please tell me what to do about
this?" Miss c. D. P. wants to
know.
Answer-Unless the heat was
turned on before the enamel was
dry. can't explain the reason
for it bliStering. Perhaps it is
| further proof of my contention
that a good interior enamel is
equal to the special radiator
enamels.
If you have recessed radiators
which have a smooth front sur
face, you can remove the bis
tered enamel with a liquid paint
remover but it would not be
advisable to try this method on
the conventional tubular radia-
tors. You could never remove
