Andrew A. Duncan -
Over The
Garden Wall

Skillful gardeners often mistakenly remove
some or all of the vigorous shoots that grow
from the base of corn plants or along the stems
of other plants They figure that by removing
the suckers" they are throwing the strength
back to the plants"
This sort of midsummer pruning of vege-
table crops is not good idea. Not only does
it stunt the plants, but it reduces their vgor and
makes them more susceptible to disease as we'll
Leaves are the factories for plants. 1t is in
the leaves that air and water are made into
sugars, proteins, starch, hormones vitamins and
engines. Plant foods taken up from the soil by
the roots are used in the leaves to help with the
manufacture of these foods which are essential
for our good health as well as the vigor of the
plants. Healthy leaf and shoot growth is almost
guarantee of high yield of top quality vege-
tables
If your vegetable plants are beginning to look
tired and rundown you can help them most by
making light application of complete fertilizer
in the middle of each row. Work the fertilizer
in gently so as not to damage any roots and
then soak the garden thoroughly
Protect new growth by spraying or busting
with insecticides and fungicides 1t is too late to
spray after the leaves are infected, so make it
a practice to protect new leaves as they grow.

Roy Lee Yinger-
Beauty At Your Back Door,
Secrets Of Indian Relics

A young lady stopped me on the street the
other day.
aren't you Roy Lee Ynger?" she asked
II am" / replied.
'Well," she said, "you certainly led me and
my husband a wild goose chase last week"
Now certainly knew nothing about leading
this young lady on a wild goose" chase. looked
at her wonderingly
How did that happen?" said l.
WELL" she replied "a little bit accusingly, !
thought) my husband and l have been reading
all those stories you've been writing in the "Sen
tinel" about the Indians, and we thought we'd
just go out and find few of the relics for our
selves Why, we hunted over five or six plowed
fields and didn't even see the first sign of an In
dan."
And that's why, because of this young lady's
misconceptions and because of the many inquiries
and letters have received from interested readers
apropos the Indian and his neoliths, decided to
let the neophytes in on a few of the secrets"
how to find the Indians lost belongings.
Just any old plowed field will not do if you
go looking for Indian relics It's not that simple.
Indian relic hunting is much more complicated
than that. The young lady who wanted to find
Indian relics was licked before she even started
out.
Why?
Simply because the Indian, in all probability,
over. n
The Indian followed waterways - he pre-
ferred waterways He was much like an animal
in this respect He also liked a COOL bubbling
spring If he could find one. He liked land that
was well drained, not because of the danger of
floods lthere were no floods in the days of the
prehistoric lndian) but he wanted the water from
the rains to run away from his tepee the same
as we want the water to run away from our
homes. 1t did not necessarily have to be high
eminence have found many artifacts on gently
rolling knobs at times when there was none to
be found nearly on flat land
So, first we have got to find plowed field
in which the Indian lived or had a camp Site
We locate a field close to the water as pos
Sible. If there Is a spring close by so much the
better. The field does not necessarily have to be
on river the size of the Potomac or the Mono
cacy; the Indian camped temporarily along large
creeks small creeks, even tiny rvulets
These camps were hunting" camps. We call
them camp sites"
The hunters in the tribe would leave their
permanent village, oftimeS near tidewater or the
upper Potomac and follow river tributaries also
the tributaries tributaries. For instance the In
dams who had a permanent village at Sycamore
Landing, near Poolesville land there was one
there) probably started their hunting trip by going
west on the Potomac until they reached the con.
fluence of the Potomac and the Monocacy then
they probably headed northward up the Mono.
cacy.
When was boy found many, many hun.
dreds of arrowheads, grooved axes and toma.
hawks along Carroll Creek which flows through
Frederick and is tributary of the Monocacy. The
arttacts existed all the way up into the Braddock
mountain. This was probably the end of the hunt
and the spois of the chase were gathered up (the

XIII was hung IN treeS) on the trek homeWard.
If you find field which has just been plowed
don't bother to explore it. You won't see any
stones worth speaking of. You have to wait for
rain to lay the stones bare. 1t is amazing how
many stones there are in field after it has been
rained on.
We will assume flor the sake of brevity)
that you have found field you think was likely
the camp of the Indian. After the rain in ten
minutes you can tell for sure if it was or If it
was not.
You set foot in the field and the first thing
you look for are chips. Chips" are sometimes
called flakes" and are just that; they have been
worked from the main stone, or cobble The In.
dian used discoidal (hammer) stone to break
large stones into little ones. Then he took the
little one and with his talking" tool which was
made from the leg bone of the deer he would
press at certain grain" spots causing the chips
to fly This was, most certainly, slow and lab.
orious job 1t has been said that 1t took them a
whole day to manufacture one arrowhead, but we
have no proof that this is fact
We do know, however, that there was one
thing the Indian had lot of and that was
time" He certainly did not lead the perplexing
IF had the time" life that we lead today
Wen say you've found some white (quartz)
chips" Perhaps some quartzite or ryolite flakes.
You've seen several fractured stones lying around
You may have seen some fragmentary pottery.
If you have, you've found Indian Sign" and
If you look closely you're almost certain to find
some kind of an Indian relic or tool
When I've found just such place, stop
and look the field over. I head for the highest
spot closest to water = the Indian liked his water
to be close even as we do. He was inclined to
be little lethargic and averse to work. anyway
the same lot of us are.
There are many slants and qualifications
about Indian relic hunting - it would require
volume to expatiate about each and every one
of them. So therefore we win set down for you
just the fundamentals:
FIRST: Make certain there are Indian chips
and cobbles Astounding.
SECOND: Carry a sharpened stick to turn
over stones to save bending over so much.
THIRD: Look at every green" looking stone
in the field. Examine it for workmanship
FOURTH: Examine infinitely every stone
which looks like 1t might have hole in it. It
may be a ceremonial stone; bead, gorget or a
pendant.
FIFTH: Pick up every stone which looks like
it might have groove" on it. 1t may be an
axe.
SIXTH: Pick up land wash If necessary any
stone which looks like it has been highly polished
SEVENTH: 1t is advisable to hunt only where
chips and flakes abound.
EIGHTH: Walk slowly and scrutinize every
inch Of the ground If you are too lazy to reach
down and turn over stone, don't go Indian relic
hunting.
NINTH: Pick up any stone you are in doubt
about; it may be an unusual artifact
I'll guarantee Gf you're an outdoor.minded
person. you'll get a great big thrill the day you
find your first perfect" arrowhead I've found
thousands OF them, and the wonder of it has never
left me.

Form Committee
Oppose Dam
Construction
On Potomac

OPPOJASAOlA " Viz P4ORODOA
high dam at River Bend just
above the Great Falls of the
Potomac was expressed by the
formation of the Potomac Val
ley Coordinating Committee on
June 6, headed by Frederick
Gutheim, local author and re-
gional planning consultant.
Anthony Wayne Smith, attor-
ney, was elected vice chairman
by the group of 40 conservation
lists, Maryland and Virginia
property owners and others.
The Coordinating Committee
plans to have representatives
testify at the public hearings
scheduled by the Army Engi-
neers, as follows:
June 25-auditorium of the
Richard Montgomery High
School, Rockville, Maryland, at
1:30 pm, daylight saving
time;
June 26-auditorium of the
Fairfax High School, Fairfax,

time.
June 81 = auditorium of the
new Department of the Interior

Consensus of the Coordinat-
ing Committee was reflected in
the following points:
- No dam is Necessary be.

2 - No. dam should be built

3 - Low dams on the head
waters tributaries of the Poto-
mac above Harper's Ferry could
adequately impound all the
water that will ever be required
for domestic use and flood con-
troll for the communities below
such dams.
4 - The solution to the prob
lem of a clean Potomac River
is proper and complete treat
ment of all sewage poured into
1t and its tributaries. ConStruc-
ton of a dam at River Bend
would deter the incentive for
cleaning up the lower reaches
of the river because it would

complete removal of the causes
of pollution.

tween Little Falls and Indian

raw water treatment.
6 - The present beauty and
cathedral.like wilderness of the
Potomac River gorge, and the
priceless historical and recrea.
tional values of the c & o Canal
and towpath should be pre-
served for posterity.
The Coordinating Committee
said that official Army Engi-
reports disclose that the
high dam would flood 35 miles
of Maryland and Virginia
and at flood level the
lake could cover $4,000 acres
and at normal pool level would
cover 28,000 acres not now in
the river channel.
The Committee urged all in
terested citizens in the metro
politan area and in the entire
Potomac Valley to attend the
Army Engineers public hearings
and express their objections to
the destruction of the natural
topography of the Potomac Riv-
er and its valley.

HONORINC VALMY THOMAS

TOMORROW ALL St. Croix pays honor to Valmy
Thomas, catcher Of the New York Giants baseball team. This
is no sudden, spontaneous affair. For weeks preparations
have been in the making, committees appointed, programs
worked out, and tomorrow there will be a parade (motor-
cadet a program on the ChrisHansted Wharf, a luncheon,
a reception at the Government House. and a dance, all pre-
pared under the auspices of the St. Croix Sports Promotion
Committee and presentation Of gifts and the like.
AS VALMY THOMAS DAY, all ewes and minds will be
on the young Crucian who made the big leagues, and that
is an accomplishment in itself. There are thousands and
thousands of minor league ball players throughout the United
States. On the Pacific Coast, where the Giants are heading,
there are at least 1000 minor leaguers, and this is just one
segment Of the country. Each major league team controls
an entire system of minor league teams from which they
draw material as the years go by. For Valmy Thomas to have
come up through such a system and reached the majors is
no mean accomplishment.
BUT THERE rs more to it than that. AS a7member OF
the New York Giants lat least until the end of the season
after which they become the San Francisco Ciants) VaLmy
Thomas is doing credit to himself and the Virgin Islands
which he represents as our ambassador OF good will to the
great American pasttime. Because of his membership in a
National League team more people will know and recognize
the Virgin Islands than ever before or through any other,
channel Such is baseball in the United States.
VALMY THOMAS initiation into major league.basebal
was as spectacular and colorful as it could possibly have
been. Up as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning OF a game
between the Giants and the Dodgers (which is always a bat
tie of the boroughs, and one to the fnish) Valmy Thomas
promptly put one into the stands, and the game was over.
AS we indicated before, That is every rockies dream--to
come up a pinch-hitter and hit a home run to win a game.
