To Keep Roots In

When house plants are to be
set outdoors for the summer,
place a board or fiat rock under
each of the pots before setting
them into soil beds. This will
confine the roots which might
otherwise grow into the soil. II
this happens. the plant will

In spite of the best efforts of

Usually judges do not enter

to keep in mind always that a

FREDERICK. ND.
DAY SMITH thinks he knows how to
H keep the boys interested in the farm
It Is to make them partners.
He has done Just that with his son, Royd,
and the Smith farm under the partnership
arrangement Is running along as smoothly
as q new tractor.
Both Of the Smiths, father and son. faced
the problem Of the future. Naturally, Mr..
Smith wanted the best for his son-wanted
him to be happy and successful in his work.
At the same time, the father hoped that
the son would continue his interest in the
dairy farm on the edge of town that the
father has been building up since 1871.
So Royd remained year on the farm
after he finished high school in Frederick
to see If the farmers life really was for him.
He decided it was, and that led to the
University Of Maryland, where he took a
degree in dairy husbandry.
When Royd finished the university, got
married and brought his bride back to the
farm, Mr.. Smith got busy with the details
Of a partnership arrangement. It was worked
out with the aid Of his attorney, and 1t Just
may prove something of a model for other
farmers who would like to see their sons
carry on with the home farm.
Mr. Smith said the deal they finally
worked out Is more than partnership, for
1t provides that Royd will take over full
ownership Of the farm when he Is gone. It
works like this:
First, Royd bought the home farm from
his father. using money saved from All
projects plus about $4,000 borrowed from

the Farmers Home Administration.
Then Ray bought another farm nearby,
using the money he got from his son and
carrying a balance. also Of about $4,000.
Royd Is buying half interest In the pure
bred Holstein herd and the equipment with
a misunderstanding note made payable
to his sister. Peggy. She and her husband.
Pete Sante, live in Rockville. Pete Is en-
ployed by a typewriter firm in Washington.
Both Smith families now live In century
old house on the main farm Royd and his
wife, Beverly, have fixed over the upstairs
into an apartment, complete with q mod
ern kitchen, and Royd's parents occupy the
downstairs.
Royds mother Is q woman with many in
terests. and Is on the 60 pretty much Of the
time. Beverly, on the other hand, spends
most Of her time taking care Of their 10
month-old son, Mark. Both families are
careful to respect each others privacy, and
the arrangement has worked out so well
that the parents may put off indefinitely
moving into house on the new farm that
they expect to remodel.
This house. incidentally, Is more than
200 years old, and once was visited by La
fayette when he came to Frederick. The
story Is told in the neighborhood that the
Marquis took seed corn back to France from
the farm.
Mr.. Smith bought Monocacy Meadows

ture Department, where he had been q
