tom of the fourth inning, Oak

burg's Ail-Stars in the first game

offs by winning Monday afternoon
at Frostburg by the score of 8 to &.
Frostburg held 80 lead going

the local team coupled three hits
with three walks and two errors

to put the game on ice.
Gary Trickett went the route for

First Old Picture
Identified; Another
Published Today

The motorcade featured in the
first old picture series last week
has been identified by a number
of persons.
First to come up with solution
was Henry Arnold, Oakland police
chief, who even produced a cir
cular issued by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad advertising the
camera caravan" through Garrett
county forests and parks.
This particular event apparently
occurred in October, 1887, and
was, as it was suggested last week,
a forerunner of the present autumn
glory excursions, when private in
dividuals donated the use of their
automobiles for transportation of
sight-seers.
The automobile in the center
of the picture was identified by
w. <AudlllS do W HIM.
and he recalled the occasion. He
said the scene was on the hill just
below the Tom Johnson farm on
the Harrington Manor road.
Oddly enough, it was also sug-
gested last week that the day was
rainy one. An old newspaper
clipping offered by Mr.. Arnold
noted that "it rained most of the
day"
Probably many persons will rec
ognize the picture printed today.
A little close observation will re-
veal many clues to the event-but
we'll let you make your own de-
cision until next week.

Beds
Need Extra Care

If you plan to keep your
strawberry bed another year, it
will need some attention right
after harvest, county agent
George Vapaa says. He listed
several steps to take in renew
ing a strawberry bed:
Remove mulch if necessary.
Cut off leaves with a hand
sickle or mower with blade set
high so it won't injure plant
crowns.
Narrow the matted row of
plants with a spade or tiller,
leaving a row of plants 6 inches
wide. Make the row 8 to 10
inches wide if it's midsummer.
Cultivate the middles thor
oughly and weed the row. Get
every weed, Vapaa said.
Fertilize, especially if the
plants don't appear vigorous
and berries harvested earlier
were small. For a complete fer
Smyrna times., 1959-06-04

tilizer, such as l0-l0-l0, the
rate should be about three
pounds for every so feet of row
according to the agent. Apply
the fertilizer along each side of
the row and in the row. Brush
off plant leaves and crowns
with a broom afterward.
If you have dry weather and
water is available. water the
planting thoroughly. Wet the
soil 5 or 6 inches deep each
time it is necessary. This u.s.
ually takes about an inch of
water, depending on the soil.
Large paintings may justify
the use of weed sprays. Apply
according to manufacturers di-
rections. They work best when
the soil is moist, Vapaa said.
If a single plant system is
used instead of matted rows for
growing strawberries, cut off
the runners and keep the plant
ing cultivated so runners won't
take root.

Strawberry Tops
In Fruit Sales

Doubtless God could make
a better berry, but doubtless
God never did," Izaak Walton
wrote about the strawberry
back in the l800's.
1t is the leading frozen fruit,
(excluding citrus juices) sold in
America today, according to
Florence Y. Smith, home dem
onstration agent.
For freezing it is hard to beat
strawberries for taste and for
ease of preparation, she said.
You should select firm, ripe,
well-colored berries. Good var
ieties for freezing are Pocohon-
tas, Catskill, Sparkle, Tennes-
see Beauty and Robinson. POGO
hontas is the best.
Gently wash the berries, then
remove the hulls and drain.
Large berries should be sliced
for easier packing. Mix with
sugar at the rate of one cup
sugar per quart of berries.
They can be frozen without
sugar but will not hold their
color, flavor and texture as well.
After mixing, pack into glass,
plastic, or waxed cardboard con-
tainers. Leave a half-inch of
head space in pint containers
and one inch in quart contain
ers, Mrs. Smith suggested.
When buying fresh strawber-
ries, don't keep them for more
than two days. Wash them be-

Loans Expand
Grain Storage

More than 10 million bushels
of grain storage capacity was
placed on the Nations farms in
the first quarter of 1859 as a
result of the Department of Ag-
riculture storage facility loan
program, according to R. Harry
Wilson of the Kent Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
County office at Dover.
Storage facility loans totaling
more than $2,000,000 were made
during the January-March per-
iod to approximately 2,700 far
mers, Mr.. Wilson said. In addi-
ton, 1872 farmers borrowed a
total of $26S, 900 to finance mo-
bile crop drying equipment for
use in connection with storage
facilities.
Loans for up to 80 percent OF
the cost of grain storage facil-
tiles are available through ASC
offices to help farmers meet the
needs for farm grain storage.

Dairy Surpluses
Lower Milk Cost

Americas dairy cows will
produce more than l25 billion
pounds of milk this coming year
according to the United States
Department of Agriculture, re-
ports University of Delaware
foods and nutrition specialist
Mrs. Marjorie Whitaker.
She says that means more
than go billion quarts of milk
will be consumed by Americans
this year.
This time of year is the sur
plus period for milk with all
the lush spring pasture giving
the cows a boost. So, now is a
good time to take advantage of
natures most perfect food, Mrs.
Whitaker said.
Milk is cheaper today than
ever before if you consider the
time it takes to earn it. In
1889, one hour of work at tlrc
average wage would buy five
quarts of milk. Now, one hours
work will buy eight quarts.
Much of this it because of more
efficient production by the farm
er. One farmer may take care
of so milking cows today where
he could only handle Is to 20
in 1899. Cows are giving more
milk too.
Plan on helping Americas
dairy farmers celebrate their
month by using more OF ma
ture's most perfect food. Milk
and milk products are the only
good source of calcium in the

After farmers filed applica-
tions for contracts last fall, the

termine: (D That the land was
eligible for the program; (2) the

All the work related to ap-
proving land for the 1859 con-
tracts has now been completed
and the newly signed contracts
