John Sebastian Hurmonicu VirtUoso to Perform Here

Music lovers are to have the rare opportunity of hear ing and seeing the internal ionally famous hMmonica virtuoso, John Sebastian, Oct ober l4th on opening night of the Alaska Music Trail.
 For more than Six years, concert audiences coast-to coast and around the world have been discovering and acclaiming this artist, who Has revealed that the harm onica is potentially \ musical instrument ef unsuspected range and charm. John Se- bastian, through HIS musical artistry has created ' musical art form The harmonica in his hands is an instrument possessing its own range un- like that of any other instrn- ment.
 Born in Philadelphia, \ bankers son, Sebastian al- ways enjoyed music and dur ing his high school an college days slowly developed His so- called Hip pocket hobby. Fe graduated from Hartford College, then won a fellow ship to study in Europe for two years. He went to Rome to study international law, blaming or ' diplomatic career The closer he came to he'ng K menhar of tle For eign Service, the less he felt incline q to relinquish his music. As his knowledge of this complex instrum en | broadened, he opened an en- tirely new and untouched feld M the music world.
 Returning to the United States. he was invited to ap- pear on several important radio programs, and became convinced that the concert stage, not diplomatic life would be his Eugene Onnan- dY invited him to appear as soloist with tho Philharmon- i'd Orchestra. This was foll- owed by guest appearances with the Rochester Civic Symphony, the NEG Sym phony, the New Orleans Symphony. A phenomenal success everywhere, he has now appeared with every major orchestra in this coun- try as well as abroad.
 John Sebastian did not give up his diplomatic career entirely, for he was chosen BY the State Department to be one of our cultural ambassa- dors. He has just recently completed a 50,000 mile globe-circling tour. His anna zing virtuosity and unique artistry nave won tfle adffil- ration of orchestra conduc- tors, inspired audiences and impressed critics throughout Europe, the Orient, North and South America.

Good Management
Checks Mastitis

The best answer to the masti-

agement, according to George
Vapaa, county agricultural agent.
He says dairymen should check
the following questions to see if
he is providing the best anti
mastitis program he can.
Do the cows have comfortable
stalls, wide enough to allow
them to stretch their legs when
lying down and long enough to
prevent hangover?
Do the cows have a layer of
bedding on the cold concrete to
protect the udder against chill
ing and injury?
Do your cows have a farmer
who plugs up the opening where
the gutter cleaner leaves the
barn, shuts all hay holes and silo
chutes, replaces all broken win
dows and doesn't use open win
dows and doors for fresh air
causing drafts which may chill

Fertilizer Needs
Very Important

Putting lime or fertilizer on
your land without having a soil
test to show you how much of
what should go where is about
the same as hunting quail blind
folded and shooting by ear.
On your hay fields, for ex-
ample, Mr.. Vapaa says you can
get four to five tons of hay, or
hay equivalent of grass silage,
by applying the right amounts
and proportions of fertilizer.
Be sure to indicate the pro-
portion of legumes and grasses
in the mixture. This is important
because the fertilizer recommen-
dation is based on the amount of
legumes or grasses in the hay or
pasture mixture. In general, the
higher the proportion of grasses

the higher the nitrogen require
ment.
Five years of research in Della
ware have shown a return of two
pounds of crude protein for each
pound of nitrogen applied to
grasses. Other tests in Pennsyl-
vania last summer showed that
100 pounds of actual nitrogen
applied in March gave yield in
creases of 3,400 to $500 pounds
of dry hay per acre.
The agent says you can get
some detailed advice on soil
sampling along with the how's
and where's and why's of soil
sampling by writing or calling
him and asking for a new bulle-
tin he has called Don't Guess,

delicate, sensitive udders?
Do the cows have a clean
barnyard without mud and trash,
old walls or ledges, steps and the
like that could bruise udders and
cause injury?
Are the cows dehorned?
Are the cows bred for improv-
ed type, ruggedness, and udders?
All these things are important,
Mr.. Vapaa says but there is
more, you are not through yet.
Do you practice managed
milking by washing the cows
udder with warm water, using a
strip cup, attaching the machine
as soon as the milk has let down
and removing it promptly after
the milk flow stops?
Do you guard against quick
changes in feeding that may pro-
duce digestive disturbances?
Do you care for your COWS
gently and with regularity to
prevent stresses that might lead
to mastitis?
If you have been answering
yes to these questions, you have
a pretty good insurance policy
against mastitis, the agent says.

Poultrymen Urged
To Attain Goals
Via New Frontier

Opening new frontiers can
solve the problems facing the
broiler industry, according to
George E. Coleman, Jr., Nichols
Poultry Farm, Exeter, N. H.,
told the regional poultry meeting
at Laurel, Del, Wednesday morn
ing.
1--WE are being squeezed out
of profit in all phases of our in
dustry and there is good reason
to believe that integration in it
self cannot hold the line" Cole
man told nearly 100 poultry
growers and businessmen.
1--WE need a reasonable margin
that will allow all segments of
the poultry industry to operate
with reasonable return, COM
parable with investment in any
other field, and an opportunity
to lay up reasonable reserves to
provide for the ever present need
for change and a sound future,
without going to the government
for handouts" he said.
The first place to look to solve
the problem is the same old
place per capita consump-
ton, Coleman said. He said per
capita consumption can be in
creased if the industry will do a
better job on quality, flavor,
grading and promotion of their
product. He said the consumer
can and will eat more chicken of
top quality and they will pay
more money for dependable
quality broilers.
Export Market Outlet
Another frontier" VIII i C h
could be opened by the industry
is the export market, Coleman
said.
Another speaker at the all-day
session was Richard C. Larkin,
poultry division of the agricul-
tural marketing service of the
Department of Agriculture.
Speaking on the topic, Can
You Make a Dime in '59?", Lar
kin said it all depends on what
course of action the industry
takes in the weeks ahead"
Current and prospe tive
broiler production, in relation to
the expected demand, indicates
a January-March national aver
age price of about l6 cents as
compared to an average OF 2O.5
cents during the same period a
year ago." he said.
This may come as a shock to
the industry" Larkin continued,
land thereby help reduce produc-
ton in the months following"
Lower production costs, in
creased demand and halt to in
creased production are three
things that might increase pro-
ducer returns, he said.
Population increase and a
higher standard of living along
with promotion could increase
consumer demand he pointed out
to the producers. Production
must vary seasonally to match
the seasonal variations in con-
sumer demand" he said. The in
dustry must produce to suit the
market and not just sell what is
produced"

changing and it is possible that
market prices will become more
erratic in the year ahead" Lar

AT PAN AMERICAN UNION
Ton Of Orchids Go on Display;
Colombo Clubs Supply Them

A fortune in flowers will be
displayed at the Pan American
Union during Pan American
Week, April IA to 20.
A ton of orchids and other
exotic plants from Colombia
will decorate the Tropical Patio
of the House of the Americas"
The exhibit. supplied by the
Garden Clubs of Medellin,
Manizales and Bogota, will be
opened today from 2 to S pm.
and throughout the week.
If the orchid generally is con-
sidered the aristocrat of flow
ers, those from Colombia are
the aristocrats of aristocratS.
Colombia once recognized the
orchid with a special stamp is
sue portraying six species. In
the 10Th century there was an
"orchid rush" in Colombia akin
to the gold rush in California.
Exceptional plants sold for
$500 apiece in the European
markets, and one rare orchid
went for $4,000.
At the same time. orchids
grow so profusely in Colombia.
particularly in the Department
of Antioquia. which supplied
the Pan American Union dis
play. that the flowers are vir-
tually dime a dozen in Medel-
lin. For less than a dollar a
Colombian matron can have a
corsage that would cost almost
q fortune in the United States.
The flowers are cheapest and
most plentiful around Easter
time. when thousands are used
to decorate statues carried in
church professions. In the Be-
tanical Garden Of Medellin,
more than $500 varieties Of or
chids are in bloom the year
around.
Colombia raises a bumper
crop of Cattleya Cigas, the
large purple variety off orchid
which is most familiar to flower
fanciers of the United States.
The blossoms of the Miltonia,
or Pansy Orchid. another type
which is common in Colombia,
are delicate pink in color with
darker situations of purple. The
Golden Cattelya, yellow with a
deep red-purple center, has
been proposed as Colombia's |
national flower.
While orchids in Colombia |
are as common as dandelions in |
the United States, they are diff
ficult to raise from seeds. An !
orchid seed takes a year to de-
velop into a pod. less than / |
