BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.-Yes
You Will beat MADDOX in a
battle of Maryland home-breds
to win the $4,000 Jennings
Handicap under misera a b e
weather conditions at Pimlico
today.
Despite fog and heavy rain,
a crowd of 1858 turned out
for the final weekend program
of the 1859 Eastern racing sea-
son and cheered the consistent
3-year-old to his eighth victory
in IA starts this year.
MADDOX Makes Bid
Yes You Will, bred and owned
by Mrs. Edith L. Price of Ti-
monium, stepped through the
slop at a fast clip to defeat
Washington-owned MADDOX, top
weighted at 122 pounds, by a
length and a quarter in the
mile-and-an-eighth feature. A
distant third, about eight
lengths behind, was Knollwood
Stables Movitave, who nosed
out Eastern Hobo for show
money.
MADDOX, owned by Cleveland
Skinker, Washington builder,
made a powerful late charge
after being far out of it, but
hung in the final sixteenth de-
spite Jockey Freddy Kratz's
frantic urging.
Yes You Will, neatly handled
by veteran Keith Stuart, paid
$3.50. $3.50 and $3.50. MADDOX,
the second choice at 81, re-
turned $4.40 and $3.50 and
Movitave $3.50 to show.
1t appeared that Yes You
Will, a son of the surprising
sire, Rough N Tumble, who
also has produced the 2-year-
old champion filly, My Deal
Girl, could have taken charge
Of the Jennings at any time
Rated close to the pace of the
sprinter. Admiral Hogan, Ye'
You Will assumed command a
the half-mile pole.
Weight Takes Toll
Kratz rode MADDOX as if ht
had Whirlaway under him, but
said after the race he thought
the pace was very fast and NJ
would catch the leaders. Madol
rallied boldly. but his 12i
pounds took its toll in the late
stretch as Yes You Will drew
of.
Yes You Will, whose dam
Yes She Will, raced around
the Maryland half-mile tracks

was a 1:574s effort at Roose-

Hodgins a corner on driving
honors, since he piloted both
Bye Bye Byrd and Adios Butler.
In divisional voting, Blaze
Hanover, owned by the S. A.
Camp Farms of Shafter, Calf,
was tagged the 2-year-old trot-
ter of the year.

picked up a winners share Of
$500 in the Jennings, which
was not classified as a stakes
event because no nomination
fees were required.
Betting reached $1,842,632
today. a bit below the 50 mil
lion the Maryland Jockey Club
had anticipated. but was con-
sidered very satisfactory in view
Of the weather. Most of the
fans never left the glass-en-
closed, heated stand during the
gloomy afternoon and many
stayed after the races to view
the first half of the ColtS-Los
Angeles football game on the
tracks TV setup.
Surprisingly 2.O39 fans made
the trip to Pimlico today by bus
and train from the New York,
Philadelphia and Camden areas.
Apprentice Frank Northcutt
could do no better than fourth
with Eastern Hobo. but he did
win two earlier races and moved
into third place in the national
Jockey standings, replacing Bill
Hartack. 273 to 272. Northcutt
also tied Dave Gorman's Pim-
lico record for a fall meeting
here with 81 winners.
Northcutt will finish the Pim-
lico session Tuesday and then
move to Charles Town Wednes-
day in an effort to overtake Bob
Ussery, who holds down the
No. 2 national spot with 29l
winners.
Pimlico announced today the
engagement of the engineering
firm of Linenthal and Becker
of Boston to build its So million
clubhouse next year.
Construction on the latest
improvement at Pimlico is
scheduled to begin Immediately
after the spring meeting and
will be completed for the 1860
1 fall session.
The clubhouse, a multi-level
building, will be enclosed for
weather protection and will be
heated and air conditioned. II
will contain elevators, escala-
tors, a novel indoor paddock
theater-type seats and special
lighting.
1t will adjoin the present
glaSsed-in clubhouse-g ra n d.
stand and will be located on the
present site of the paddock and

The engineering firm hired
by Pimlico is experienced in
race track construction, having
built Monmouth, Suffolk Downs

single trunk, but let the side
branches grow.
Some of the main things to
remember in pruning are: 1. A
tree that is headed UP properly at
two or three years old will be
less of a pruning problem in
future years. Large healthy limbs
seldom, if ever, need removing
from trees that have been prop
erly pruned from the time of
establishment. q. Never leave
stubs. Make cuts close to the
trunk or limb on which the branch
is growing. This enables the
wound to callous over in due
time. If stubs are left, the wound
is not likely to ever heal over
and the tree will become hollow.
8. Always cover a wound that is
one inch or more in diameter to
prevent drying out and rotting.
Old wounds not covered over
should be covered too. Ordinary
shellac is one of the best and
cheapest dressings to use. 4.
Never hedge" a tree. There must
be a logical reason and place for
making each cut. 5. If in doubt
about removing a limb-leave it.

SORGHUM ALMUM -
GOOD OR BAD?

Below is some information
writtenby Arthur Shaw, Exten-
sion Agronomist at Montana State
College, on sorghum almum. This
plant has received a lot of fav-
orable publicity in leading farm
magazines, and we have received
a few inquiries about its adapt
ability to this area.
Mountainous who grow sor-
ghum almum are likely to be
disappointed or worse.
All the evidence points toward
the conclusion about this cross
between Johnson grass and other
sorghums. The exception might
be during a hot year.
Other names for this grass are
Columbus grass, Sorgo Negro and
Sudan Negro.
Sorghum almum has not been
grown by the Montana Agricul-
tural Experiment station. This is
because it is not adapted to this
area and because it lacks winter
hardness. 1t has been grown by
experiment stations in the south.
There it acted like a perennial.
The farther north it was grown
the more it lost its perennial
characteristic. 1t could not stand
the winters in Oklahoma.
Sorghum almum is hard to
identify. 1t is much like John
son grass, a hated weed in the
south. The sorghu nahum leaves
are coarser than Johnson grass.
Also the leaves are wider; the
heads are longer and more spread
ing, and the plant usually is tall
er. The seeds are generally lar
ger but are similar in color and
shape to Johnson grass. Sorghum
almum is quite drouth resistant.
On the other hand, Sudan grass
is a better yielder than a first
crop of sorghum almum. In adj
dition, sorghum almum yields
fall off rapidly the second and
third years. Then too, its forage
is coarse, stemmy and dry while
Sudan grass is leafy and juicy.
Sorghum almum may cause
prussic accid poisoning. This sug-
gests caution in feeding or graz
ing this grass in Montana.
Probably the most convincing
evidence about sorghum almum is
that it has been declared a noxious
weed in the important sorghum
producing states. However, this
weed should not become a pest in
Montana because it winter kills
and because it can be killed by
blowing"

worm trouble in some areas this
season. These soil pests might do
a lot of damage to the small grain
crop you'll be seeding this spring.
Wireworms can be stopped with
an insecticide seed treatment. A
heavy infestation of wireworms
feeding on seed and young seed
lings can severely reduce small
grain stands.
If you are going to have your
crop seed treated commercially
with a fungicide, ask that an
insecticide treatment for wire
worms be included also. Lindane,
dieldrin, heptachlor and aldrin
are among the insecticides which
will protect seeds from wire
worms
If you have had any recent
trouble with wireworms in a
field, it's possible they may be
back again this season. These
infestations are hard to predict.
About the only sure way to know
the situation is to take soil sam

SKUNK CONTROL

Reports have come in that the
polecat or skunk is now active
and it appears the numbers will
again be large. AS a safeguard
against rabies and other diseases
that skunks may carry and
spread, we feel that it is mighty
important to cut the numbers
down. For this reason we are
still prepared to poison eggs that
you bring in for skunk control.
The Predator Control Division of
the u. S. Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice is cooperating with us again
this year by furnishing the poison.
Poisoned eggs proved to be a very
effective skunk eradicator last
year and if handled right, there
is little danger to other animals.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR PRUNING TREES

Horticulturists tell us that early
spring is a good time to prune
both ornamental and fruit trees,
so if you have some of this work
to do, now is the time to get at it..
To help you get this job done in
the manner recommended by hor-
ticulturists, We are listing some
principles of pruning which should
be adhered to.
First, there are three main
reasons for pruning and they
are: l. To remove dead and
diseased wood. 2. To modify the
shape and strength of a tree. 8.
Some trees like ash or elm have
a tendency to produce more than
one stem or trunk. Height
growth and stem strength can
be improved by trimming to a
