Tomatoes, Chard
On the other hand, toma-
toes produce abundantly
throughout the season. Swiss
chard is a long season pro-
ducer. Snap beans produce
abundantly. although the
pole beans have a longer har-
vest season and give good re-
turns for the space occupied.
Cabbage is a cool weather
crop and occupies quite a bit
of space. Cauliflower is even
less satisfactory here. Broc-
coli is an excellent fall crop
the major varieties continue
to produce small side heads
until the plants are killed by
freezing.
Lettuce is almost in the
same class as the Sweetcorn.
The common commercial
varieties lack both quality
and flavor. Many Of the old
butter head varieties such as
Bibb, Big Boston, etc. make
much better tossed salads
than the Great Lakes and
Iceberg types, although they
might not look as attractive

as quickly.
Spade in Compost
A vegetable garden to be
productive should have gen.
erous quantities Of compost
spaded into the soil at the
time Of preparation. For
most of the vegetable crops.
the fertilizer should be spaded
into the soil at the same time
so as to have it deeply and
evenly distributed through
the soil.
Mulching is highly bene-
flcial to the garden and after
the crops are well started the
soil might well be covered
with rotted sawdust, coarse
compost, chopped hay or
straw, pine needles or what
ever material is available.
Plan the garden so that the
product Of each crop may be
harvested and used while it
is in the best quality stage.
Over-ripe, coarse, or tough
vegetables are not desirable.

A half dozen well grown
tomato plants should supply

should be patterned to the

Vegetables? Take Ii Easy

Apparently those who have
assumed that the handy,
packaged. frozen vegetables
have made the growing Of
vegetables in the home gar
den obsolete are in error. A
survey of interest among
members of the Takoma
Horticultural Society showed
one third were interested.
Many Of that group are liv-
ing where shade and tree
roots make vegetable grow
ing difficult If not impossible.
A like survey in new subur-
ban areas might show a
much higher percentage of
gardeners interested in grow
ing vegetables.
For some years the area in
the Soldiers Home grounds
devoted to community gar
dens has shown a steady ex-
pansion. The old Victory
Garden area near the B&O
Railroad right of way on New
Hampshire avenue has con-
tinued to be gardened. All Of
this points to a continued,
if not a growing, interest in
the cultivation Of vegetables.
People who once sample
the flavor and tastiness Of
freshly harvested well grown
vegetables are not likely to be
satisfied with other sources
of supply.
Again, there is the pleas
ing healthful exercise in gar
dening that the whole family
may participate in.
In these days of rising
food costs the garden could
easily become of economic

Rosen said that, as far as

where are they going to get

That's the opinion of al
Rosen, The Cleveland Indians
former third baseman and the

in 1858. Now in the stock brok-

off the facetious suggestion
that he might be planning a
comeback, but said the new
deal will make room for some
oldtimers as we'll as some
rockies who couldn't meet the
standards of an eight-club
circuit.
"The league hasn't solved the
problem of finding high-grade
players for eight teams" he
pointed out. Il don't know
where the two new clubs will
find capable first strlngers

likely to give up their stars.

some agreement with the col
lege authorities" he said. Il
don't suppose outright subsidy
would be acceptable, but some
kind of scholarship system
might be satisfactory. Some
former players could be used
to coach the college teams. All
the clubs should make an effort
to keep the topflight men in
the game"
Colleges Object
At present, professional base
ball has no agreement with the
colleges. Educational authori-
ties strongly resent the willing
ness of some clubs to sign the
students before the latter have
earned their diplomas. The In
dians stepped on some Arizona
U. toes a couple of years ago
when they persuaded Gene
Leek to turn professional.
College officials argue that
such practices remove boy
from school and offer him a
baseball career in which rela-
lively few either reach the top
or return to the books.
Rosen himself became an
outstanding player after his
college days, but he didn't wait
until his retirement to seek a
lifetime occupation. He started
in the brokerage business while
he still was on the Indians
roster.
His last season with the
Tribe was 1856. After the 1867
training season started, he was
tempted to return to the game
but after some confusing nego-
tiations on terms, he decided to
remain in the investment busi-
ness.

Span Of 20 Years
Sees Big Jump In
Size OF Farms

The past two decades h a &
| seen an unprecedented III
crease in the size OF farms
and continuing drop in the to-
tai number Of farms III the
United States. Reason: Techno-
logical revolution with its in
creased efficiencies. say agricul-
tural economists at VPI.
In each five-year period from
1885 through 1854, the average
farm size jumped 10 to IS per
cent. The l954-59 period is ex-
pected to show a similar in
crease when census figures be-
come available. At the sa m e
time the number of farms de-
creased steady from 6,8l3, 700 in
1885 to 1885, 800 in 1856 - 30
per cent drop.
In the 1954-59 period, the num-
Der of farms is estimated to
have dropped another Is per
cent. During the last five-year
period, acreage of land in farms
may also be down slightly be-
cause of acreage put in the Con-
servation Reserve and the con-
version of land to nonfarm use
such as suburban homesites.
The family farm continues
dominant. In 1857, it is estimat-
ed that some 96 per cent of all
farms were family-operated -
the a m percentage as 25
years before.
With increased pressure for
larger acreages to hold down or
cut production costs per unit,
farmers have turned to the farm
real estate market to get adj
ditional land. Full-time family
farmer continue to be the chief
buyers of farm land.
Economists anticipate a con
tlnued trend toward fewer and
larger farms.

Farmers Union Chief Sees Little
Hope For Farmers In COP Platform

AMELIA, Aug. The ag.
ricultural plank in the Republ-
can platform offers little en-.
couragement or hope for farm.
ers in the state Of Virginia. the
president of the Virginia Farm.
ers' Union said in an interview
here Thursday.
John Vance, of Amelia county
said he felt qualified to speak
only on two parts Of the plat.
form those on agriculture
and civil rights. These are the
two of greatest concern in our
area he added.
Taking the farm plank first,
he thought it was a simple con.
tinuation of the program Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson has
followed for the past eight years.
II is actually built around q
vas tly expanded soil bank
program.
We would be better off with
no farm program than to ex-
pand the soil bank program, 4
ne declared. There is danger
IN this program which entices
good farmers to quit farming
He sees nothing which would be
OF any material help to t h Z
average Virginia farmer, in the
farm plank.
On the other hand the Demo
Gratis farm plank pledges high
price supports. production con
trolls and production payments
He thinks it embraces all the
basic points for which the Vir-
glnla Farmers Union is work
ing. Vance is highly pleased with
the agricultural plank in t h e
Democratic platform and is con
WINGED the best interests of Vir-
ginia farmers lie with the cleo
ton of the Democratic candi-
dates, who will carry out their
program.
Vance attended the Demo
cratic convention in Los Angeles
as a member of the Virginia
delegation and is the Fourth
district member of the execu-
tive committee of the Virginia
S tr a i'g ut Democratic Ticket
Committee.
The Republican civil rights
plank as he see it, is no better,
no worse, than the Democratic
plank. 1t will not satisfy either
the conservatives or liberals :
1t seems to be an effort to be
all things to all people," he con
tinued.
Regardless of how cagey the
Republicans are, he is doubtful
if people will ever forget it
