Lease Renewal Problem
Chief Sutton also told the

He asserted that the District

Principal point in their favor.

"a 300-day period in Miami
showed false alarms were cut
from lot to 4:
He said pranksters were less
willing to use a phone and talk
to an operator in reporting a
false fire. whereas they would

Chief Sutton. however, was
outspoken in his opposition.
II am unalterably opposed to
the adoption in whole or in part,

responsibility for the installation

Feeding Of Trees
Tied to Vertical
Shift Of Water

The key to feeding established
trees is to assure proper sdistri-
button of the tree food high in
nitrogen content. This means
punching the necessary number
of holes at least Is inches deep
over the entire root area.
Holes should be punched no
farther than IS inches apart.
1t is. no mistake to put them
even closer. The more holes. the
better the distribution of the fer
tilizer to feeding roots. Feeding
roots usually extend as far as
the branch spread.
Exhaustive tests have shown
movement of soil waters is
largely vertical. with very little
lateral movements. During rains.
movement is down, of course.

Horse Trailer Runs Into Red Tape
BY JAMES BIRcHFlELD

The State of Virginia and u
have come to an impasse. And
it is all over a horse trailer.
When you build trailer in my
State, you have to make appli-
cation to the State Division Of
Motor Vehicles for number.
Then you make another applica-
ton, plus 81, for a title. Then
you can buy your tags.
/ have duly made application,
and have received my number,
which has been affixed to the
trailer. also have a letter of
instructions on the procedure
necessary to obtain my title and
license plates.
After receiving the number, /
must have the trailer inspected,
and the application for title must
list the trailer's weight. And
that is where the trouble begins.
I have no scales, and the

seven miles away. I can't move
the trailer to the scales until I
have license tags, and I can't
buy license tags until I have the

And so. there I am with a
trailer in the back yard. and no

Dirty HOgl0ts Cause
Poor Pigs

Farmers who are pouring tons
of feed to their hogs, and yet can't
seem to get them fattened for mar
ket, might check their hog lots.
Ray Lloyd. Asst. County Agri-
cultural Agent, points out that
sanitary conditions are often to
blame for slow gaining, unthrifty
hogs. The reason is dirty, muddy
hoglots and sometimes clean
looking old hoglots which may be
breeding places for host of swine
parasites We are not talking about
a good hog pasture when we say
fhoglot", said the agent, but the
small outside pen used for exer-
else, not food. Pastures, too, need
be sanitary by good rotation.
Good sanitation will also help
check the spread of disease germs
that make for Improbable hog
raising. Clean UP the hoglot, and
put in a cement yard if possible,
then disinfect regularly to avoid
permanent living places for para
sites and disease germs.
If you correct the dirty condi-
tions and hogs still don't gain as
they should, it's best to get herd
diagnosis, says Mr.. Lloyd. The
trouble may be serious enough to
warrant corrective treatment as
we'll as good housekeeping.

Proper Fall Care
Important For
Attractive Lawn

Two things are essential in the
fall care of the lawn. First is the
time of tine last cutting. This can
not be set by any calendar date
for it will depend on the fall
temperatures. Lawn grass should
go into the winter with two to
three inches of growth. This
growth protects from the severity
of the cold, and lawns so protected
start earlier and grow better the
next spring.
Point two is the question of
leaves. Leaves should be Taked
from the lawn weekly and not al
lowed to mat down in the grass.
Leaves allowed to accumulate and
remain on lawns become wet and
heavy. They form a blanket which
keeps air and light from the grass
and causing smothering and death
to the grass plants.
For further information on care
and management of the lawn con-
tact the County Extension Office,
Georgetown.
