HOW Badness STARTS
"The source of hair-growth on your scalp
is the papilla. 1t generally remains alive
and capable of regenerating hair through
out your life. Even in bald areas the papilla
is usually found alive - but merely DOR
mant hair grows to mature length, is
shed, and the papilla normally produces q
new hair to replace the old one which has
been shed. Each day a normal scalp of
person of median age may shed from 40 to
30 hairs. Badness comes when the papiIlae
are kept from growing a new hair for each
one which is she'd Local scalp disorders
are considered responsible for UP to 92oo
of all badness today These local scalp
ailments generally respond to proper hy-
gienic treatment, germicidal prophylaxis
and regenerative stimulation as offered
by Thomas.
WHAT ABOUT DANDRUFF?
'Dandruf is a term with score of de6ni-
tons ranging from simple scales to Sc
borrheic dermatitis.' One medical authority
sums up his opinion by saying 'Dandruff is
always a sign Of diseased scalp, whether
other symptoms have appeared or not Sc
borrheic eczema, or dandruff, is in my opin-
ion, forerunner of most cases of senile
badness
$50 : define dandruff as you wish - the
fact remains that any accumulation of dead
skin cells on your scalp forms a breeding
place for infection. Remove dandruff =

Chevalier also introduced a
young French arranger michel

like Sauter-Finegan with the

While Chevalier reserved his
main vocal bout for the last

that have become hits in Amer

number, "A Boy and a Girl"
was performed earlier.

Chevalier's first live" Amer
lean TV show with Marcel
Marceau was a hit and his Sec
ond was even better, perhaps
because of the varied talents of
his supporting cast.
The shows theme was anus
ing. too, if you give producer
Max Lehman credit for bit of
leg-pulling. The idea, as Maurice
explained at the outset, was that
French TV was such a "babee, +"
and American TV so "beeg," that
he thought it would be smart to
learn to dance (from Chita
Rivera and to speak better
English from English actor
Stanley Holloway.
So on this "beeg" TV show last
night, Max plunked Maurice in
front of a curtain for his songs,
which is precisely where TV
came in as a babee 8 or 9 years
ago in this country.
There are times, of course,
when this approach to TV is
eminently right and last nights
was case in point. Mr.. Lieb-

HOW TO FIGHT Badness
One medical authority found local ailments
responsible Tor 3l6 out of 800 cases of bald
ness and concluded that heredity is an in
significant factor. Therefore, the task of
combating approaching badness is one of
overcoming the causitve local scalp all

Q-What can be done to offset the
20 per cent reduction in 1857 flue-
cured tobacco allotments?
A-The opportunities are indeed
limited in agriculture. If you try to
put a small fragment of land into
the production of some other crop.
you may find Yourself even worse
off If the cut in the allotment
leaves you with less than profit

do well to look for off-farm EN-
ployment.
Q-How can l control chickweed
ii alfalfa and small grains?
A In established stands of al
falfa teven during the first winter
after seeding use three pounds of
CIPC in 80 to 40 gallons of water
per acre. Spray after the legume
has been killed back by frost and
before any new growth starts in
the spring ....
There is no recommendation for
control of chickweed in small grains
In Virginia, as not enough work has
yet been done on it. However.
dlnitro has been used successfully
in other areas.
Use Of chemicals for weed con-
troll should be considered supple
ment to, not replacement for,
good cultural practices.
Q-What is the best chemical to
use to spray small grains for wild
onion control, and when should I
apply it?
A--Use 2.4D at the rate of l-3 to

water per acre. Apply after the

yielding, fusarium wilt resistant
variety called Roma.

gets its resistance to fusarium wilt
from Pan America. another variety
bred by Porte many years ago u.s.

Grain Feeding
Tips Offered
To Dairymen

Whether you've producing milk
for fluid milk consumption. or for
manufacture Of dairy products, you
should gear your feeding program
to the amount, kind and quality of
green and dried forage you have on
hand.
That's the advice from Dr. G. C..
Graf. head OF the department Of
dairy science at VPI. He says the
more high quality roushage COW
eats. the less supplementary feed
such as grain will be needed
Dairymen who are producing milk
for manufacturing purposes will
usually find it economical to feed
some grain to cows during the en-
tire lactation Heavy grain-feeding
may not pay. Dr.. Graf says there
are some ruels tofollow in the COW
feeding program.
First. feed all the rougnage COW
will eat. Give the high-producing
COWS the best. or at least save the
best hay. silage, or pasture for the
milking herd.
Feed the high producing cows
moi grain than the loW-p producing
COWS.
Feed grain to keep up with eco
nomical production. Evaluate the
roughage the cows are receiving. If
it i OF very good quality and the
COWS are getting all they can eat,
feed grain at the rate Of about one
pound of grain for each four to five
pounds of milk if the COW is of the
lower testing breeds. and one pound
Of grain per three or four pounds
Of milk produced if the COW is Of the
/ higher testing breeds.
If the COW gets limited amounts
OF high quality roughage. or all she
wants of low quality roughage. feed
three to four pounds Of grain for
each pound Of milk produced if the
COW is Of low testing breed and
! two to three pounds of grain per
| pound OF milk produced if the COW
is CT high testing breed
/ Grain is more economically fed to
the herd is each cow is fed accord
| .ng 10 production. giving the high
| producing COWS more grain and the
lower producing cows less grain. Dr.
Graf explains.
