Mrs. Dunn Steps
Out of County
Palsy Activity

United Cerebral Palsy of Mont
gomery County, Inc, announced
with regret that executive secre.
tary, Mrs. Georgina M. Dunn,
rendered her resignation last
March effective April 20.
In accepting Mrs. Dunn's re-
signation, Ernest ]. Gill, presi-
dent, speaking for the board of
directors expressed heartfelt
appreciation of the fine work
you have done. Your untiring
efforts and unfaltering interest
in Cerebral Palsy has been an
Inspiration to all who are in
terested in the problems of the
cerebral palsied."
Mrs. Dunn requests that all
friends of the cerebral palsied in
Montgomery County help in the
"big walk" scheduled for the
evening of May 16, and for which
$500 volunteers are needed.
Those willing to help should call

bug control is used, the male
trees can be spared They do not
harbor the bug.
Bissell says he made several
visits last winter to homes where
bOXelder bugs were a problem.
In every case, a tree was found
either in the yard or within a
hundred or so feet of the house.
The entomologist says the bugs
take winter shelter as near to the
tree as possible, so if a buildup
in population is prevented near
the house there should be little
danger of an invasion next win
ter.
Boxelder bugs are a nuisance"
insect. They do not damage ex-
cept to stain clothing, walls or
furniture if they are mashed.
BoXelder trees were introduced
to Maryland from Midwestern
States, where they are native, and
the bugs followed. The first rec
ord of bugs in this State dates
from the 1920's. Like most in
sects, they have their ups and
doWns-they were unusually
thick in 1854. They will continue
to be a pest every now and then
wherever their food plant, the
female boxelder tree, grows.

Mulching Essential
To Weed Control

A mulch may be defined as
any protective covering of the
soil. The purpose of the mulch
may be to control weeds, main
tain more constant soil temporal
ture or moisture or to keep the
vegetables clean.
There are many inexpensive
mulching materials available to
home gardeners, including leaves,
pine needles, grass clippings,
straw, peanut hulls, ground corn
cobs, peat moss, sawdust, shaw
ings, wood chips, newspaper,
mulching paper, cardboard and
aluminium foil
Loose organic materials such
as straw, leaves, SaWduSt, etc.
may best be applied after the
plants are established. Gardeners
should use only the amount of
loose mulch needed to control
weeds. Too heavy an application
of these water-holding mulches
may be detrimental.
All of these loose woody mulch
ing materials break down rather
slowly, and nitrogen is needed
in the early stages of decomposi-
ton. Usually Y pound of nit

EUerythHng?s in Bloom Including
Fair at Green Acres School

With all the outdoors in full
bloom now, another sure sign of
spring is the coming bright Fair
season. One of the most popular
Fairs in the area, on the grounds
of the Green Acres School, will
be held May ii.
This years Green Acres Fair
promises to be bigger and more
fun for the whole family than
ever. Puppet shows and magic
for the Riddles will continue
through the afternoon, and
booths galore stocked with games
and prizes will add to their big
fun. Train rides will be set up
for the event, and therell be sew
eral willing ponies waiting for
the young Davy Crocketts and
Annie Oakleys to get their rides.
Plane rides may also be offered.
For the grown-ups, Green
Acres well-known sale of White
Elephants and OutgroWn Cloth
ing, always major attraction to
thrifty parents, offers good buys
this year. The sale of plants and
baked goods will be tempting,
too. Large prizes for the grown
ups games have been donated
to the Fair by Rockville and
neighboring merchants. And to
top off the festivities, one of the
first few color television sets in
the area will go to a lucky win
ner at the close of school in
June.
A non-profit school with grades
from nursery through the third
year. Green Acres is about to
expand through the fourth grade.
The bigger Fair this year is the
opening gun in its Embarrassing,
and all hands at the school have
worked toward making it a gala
event.

trynan states Dilbert Foster,
County Agent.
The chemical gave effective
control of mites and lice in a
recent test at the California Elk
pertinent Station, according to
Wade H. Rice, University OF
Maryland Extension poultryman.
Rice reports that a 05 percent
emulsion of Malathion applied di-
rectly to young growing stock
with hand pressure sprayers at
the rate of gallon per 100 birds
gave effective mite control. One
gallon of the emulsion per $50
mature birds also gave effective
and immediate control.
A four percent malathion dust
applied by hand to individual
birds or to Gagged birds with a
puff duSter gave effective con
troll of lice and mites. When dust
ed in the litter and nests at the
rate of 1 pound per 20 square
feet of floor space, the percent
dust gave effective but not com.
plete lice and mite control. If
the litter and nest treatment is
repeated at intervals of 2 to 3
weeks for 2 or treatments, con-
troll should be almost 100 percent,
Rice says.
The four percent dust or the
1 percent solution sprayed in the
creviceS gave effective control for
common fowl mites, when ap-
piled to roosts, nests and other
spots where the pest hides.
California tests are also re-
ported as showing no i'll effects
on birds, even when IS percent
strength of malathion dust was
applied to the BIRDS" Rice says.
also, so parts of malthion per
million in the feed for three
weeks resulted In no Off flavor
in the eggs of hens under study"
The University of Maryland
Extension poultryman says that
although more extensive tests
may be necessary to definitely
establish the degree of toxcity of
malathion to chickens as well as
to man through accumulated
dosage, preliminary tests appar-
emily did not show any ill eff
fectS.
"These preliminary tests indi-
cate the new chemical apparent
ly offers poultrymen one of the
best controls yet developed for
lice and mites" he says.

Grange Plans
Second Trip
To Europe

The National Grange, oldest
farm fraternity in the world, will
sponsor its second European Tour
in September, in response to pop.
ular demand because of the I'M
qualified success of its first tour
last October.
1T was a grand trip and I en-
joyed meeting Changers from
other parts of the country"
writes Elizabeth D. Conner, of
Delaware.
A Rhode Island man, who took
one of his daughters on the tour
last year, already is planning to
take a second daughter this year
The 1855 Tour will start from
New York aboard the S. S. Amer.
lea on Sept 9, and will include
visits to six European countries,
England, Holland, Belgium, Ger.
many, Switzerland, and France.
returning to New York, Oct. 7.
For those who have the time.
the tour may be extended from
Switzerland, on Oct. 2, to include
Italy, with visits to Milan, Ven
ice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Gen.
GA, Isle of Capri, Monte Carlo,
Pompeii, Nice and back to Paris,
to arrice in New York on the
SIS. United States, Oct. Is. Op.
tional side trips to places of ag.
ricultural interest will be an.

The purpose Of these tours is TO
see European agricultural pro.
duction; to bring about a better
understanding of international
farm problems; and TO build good
will with peoples of other ma.
tons.

enough. If nitrate of soda is not
available ~ pounds of 5-105
fertilizer or z pound of cyana-
mide may be substituted. Broad
cast the loose mulching material
as evenly as possible using from
3 to 5 bushels per 100 square
feet. Scatter the fertilizer uni
formly on top of the mulch.
Heavy soils are loosened by
these organic mulches and they
help sandy soils hold water and
fertilizer.
Do not be afraid the woody
materials will make your soil too
acid-any acidity can be correct
ed by the application of a little
lime.
The paper materials such as
newspaper, aluminium foil and
mulching paper may be spread
out before planting. Squares
may be used for each plant or
an entire row may be covered at
once. Cross Sits can then be cut
in the paper at regular intervals
and the plants or seeds placed
through the Sits into the SOIL
Some gardeners prefer to put
the paper down after planting,
because in some cases it is easier
to firm the soil around the plant
roots.
In all cases paper mulches
must be held down. Soil around
the edges or laths over the top
will keep them in place.
Try modifying paper mulches
to meet the particular needs of
your garden. You may find that
a combination of paper and
woody mulch gives best weed con-
troll and crop-plant growth under
your conditions. One suggestion
is to use paper over the row and
loose woody mulch between the
rows. This keeps moist organic
material from close contact with
stems and leaves of plants and
thereby decreases the likelihood
of disease.
If skillfully handled, mulches
can greatly reduce laborious gar
den wedding and vastly increase
vegetable yields and quality.
Use a mulch this summer and
when you return from your vaca-
ton you will find your vegetable
garden still in good condition.

Act Now to Prevent
Fall Raid of Bugs

Did boXelder bugs bother you
last fall or winter? If they did,
be assured yours was not an ex-
ceptional case.
University of Maryland ento-
mologists and county agricultural
agents office in Rockville receiv-
ed scores of letters and phone
calls from September to April
regarding the red and gray bugs.
The stories with slight variations
in the degree of alarm, were
basically the same: my house is
being invaded by the obnoxious
pest. Where do they come from?
How can I get rid of them?"
Extension entomologist T. L..
Bissell says that in many cases
homeowners reported bugs would
collect by the thousands on the
foundations and sides of house
and enter at every opportunity
through windows, doors and ven
tilators, or through loose siding
and shingles.
In answer to questions con-
corning the source of the bugs,
Bissell says they develop on fe-
male boxelder trees during the
summer. He explains that the
boXelder tree is species of
maple which looks like an ash
Eggs are laid on the pods of the
female (pistilate) tree and these
pods furnish food for the young
bugs.
When the pods ripen and leaves
fall in the autumn, the bugs seek
winter quarters in buildings or
natural hideways. This is when
people notice them.
IF you do not want boXelder
