RIDE THROUGH TUNNEL
Boy Jumps Freight
To Sove Friend, 10

BALTIMORE, Sept. 80 up.
Two young boys. one Of them
semiconscious from severe ele-
trical burns. spent more than
10 narrowing minutes atop a
slow moving freight train last
night as it wound 212 miles
through a long tunnel.
The grueling experience be-
gan in the Pennsylvania Rail-
road yards at Union Station
where a group Of youths were
playing.
John T. Powell, 10. climbed
on a standing freight train and
was severely shocked when he
touched the high voltage elec-
trio wires overhead.
Two companions ran several
blocks to his home and re-
turned with his mother. She
wanted to climb up and get her
son who was lying unconscious
on top Of the train.
But Donald Mailer. l6, per-
suaded her not TO try it. to
wait until firemen and rail-
road workmen arrived.
About eight minutes passed
while young Mailer dissuaded
the frantic mother from climb
ing on the freight train.
Young Powell. meanwhile.
regained consciousness and
rose to his knees on top Of
the freight car just as the
train started UP.
Seeing that the boy-injured
and dazed as he was-would
be swept of the car when the
train passed under a street
bridge. young Mailer climbed
on the moving train and held
Powell down.
The freight moved westward
out Of the yards, through q
low, winding. 2la-mile tunnel
and on another mile to Gwynn's
Run before railroad ofiicials
we're able to flag 1t down and
shut of the electric current In
the overhead wires.
Firemen removed the two
boys to Lutheran Hospital
where Powell was reported in
fair condition with third and
fourth degree burns OF the
scalp and third degree burns
Of the feet.
Hospital attendants said 1t
would be some time before the
extent Of the boys internal in
juries were determined and his
chances Of pulling through as
sesSed.

Farmers Told To
Watch For SIugs
In Warm Weather

COLUMBUS-A cool, moist sea-
son is perfect weather for slugs in
cornfields, according to c. r. Neis-
wander of the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment stations entomology
department in Wooster.
Damage from these organisms
has been reported from several Sec
tions of Ohio. The injury is easily
recognized as the slugs give the
plants shredded appearance. The
feeding usually is confined to the
outer leaves and the plants make
a quick recovery after feeding
stops.
Cultivating the ground as soon
as slug damage is observed is the
best method of control, NeisWan-
der says. When the soil surface
dries out, the organisms disappear
quickly.
Many farmers fail to observe the
presence of slugs on their plants
since the organisms feed only after
dark. BY taking a flashlight into
the field at night their feeding can
be readily observed.
When slugs appear in a corn
field it usually is where corn fol.
lows a good growth of alfalfa Oh
clover, according to Neiswander.

Enrolment For
Top Ten Club In
Tomatoes Ended

COLUMBUS-Ohio tomato pro-

ing their growers in the Ohio Top
Ten Tomato club. These growers
produce approximately 80 percent
of the tomatoes raised for process
ing in Ohio, says z. c. Wittmeyer,
Ohio State University extension
horticulturist.
The Ohio Top Ten Tomato club
is a project sponsored by Ohio
State University's Agricultural Ex-
tension Service in cooperation with
the Ohio Gamers association and
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
1t recognizes tomato growers who
have done good job of producing
tomatoes for processing. 1t honors
growers whose yields are in the
top 10 percent of all growers con-
tracing with participating process
orS.
Since the project was started in
1947 more than 1000 certificates
have been presented to top grow
ers, according to Wittmeyer. One
of the original objectives of the
club, Wittmeyer notes, was to
stimulate interest in the adoption
of better cultural practices which
would result in higher yields and
better quality tomatoes for pro-
cessing.
In the 10 years the improvement
program has been in effect, the

average yield of tomatoes for pro-
ceSsing has increased more than
so percent. Average yield for the
period 1854 through 1856 was 11.6
tons per acre, compared to 7.2 tons
for the period 1914 through 1916.
Wittmeyer credits yield in
creases to the adoption of better
cultural practices. In 1947> he re-
calls, growers who were members
of the club, used about 600 pounds
of 3-12-12 fertilizer to the acre. BY
1856 the rate had increased to more
than 900 pounds.
When the club started, Witt
meyer says, only about half its
growers followed any kind of
spraying or busting program to
control foliage diseases. Last year
95 percent of the growers followed
some kind of program to control
foliage diseases and fruit rots.
