BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

BALTIMORE, May 13.-MrS.
Ethel D. Jacobs DR.. Miller won
the SIS, 900 Preakness Prep today
in what amounted to little more
than a workout as the mile
and-a-Sixteenth betless trial
lost nearly all of its appeal by
the unfortunate withdrawal of
the injured Globemaster.
Only 1925 fans turned out
and bet a mere 81, ,001 ,491.
Billed as a preview for next
Saturdays $150,000 add e d
Preakness, the prep was re-
duced to a drab affair after
Trainer Tommy Kelly was
forced to scratch Leonard P.
SasSo's Globemaster early today
because of a stifle injury sus-
tained by the speedy 3-year old
in his stall.
Pimlico also buzzed today
with the news that Fred W.
Hooper's Crozier was sick with
the collie and might also be
forced out of the Preakness.
But Crozier, who required
treatment by a veterinarian
earlier in the day, appeared on
the track for a gallop after the
sixth race.
CrOZier Called Okay
Crozier, who is the early Sec
ond choice to Derby winner
Carry Back in next weeks
Preakness, was galloped lightly
once around the sloppy oval
and although not asked for any
speed. Trainer Chuck Parke
pronounced the colt recovered
from the stomach ailment
which hit him early today.
HE galloped the way he al
ways does" Parke said at the
barn after the gallop. I plan
to work him a mile Monday and
blow him out Friday"
Although Crozier apparently
bounced back to a starting sta
tus for the Preakness, Kelly
said it was $3.50" on whether
Globemaster, fourth in the Der
by, would make it.
We'll have to wait a day or
so to see if there was any dam
age to the muscle and the sur
rounding tissue. I'll just have to
wait and see how it goes all
next week." Kelly said.
DIR. Miller Has 1t Easy
In the Preakness Prep, DR.
Miller, a chestnut son of Es.
cadru, toyed with his weak op.
position and finished AZ
lengths ahead of w. Taylor

tremendous rush in the Derby
from far back to get fourth
was near the lead throughout
running in "trotting" time o.

Jockey Tommy Lee, who
subbed for Willie Shoemaker
aboard DR.. Miller, sent his coll
to the lead as he pleased al
the three eighths pole and only
cracked him two or three times

Drainage Woes

Poor drainage is beginning
to show up in many areas.
Hard showers quickly fill beds
and planting holes and unless
that moisture drains away
within IL hours plant roots are
hurt and cease to function.
This is reflected in willing,
leaves turning brown, and the
plants either quickly die or
struggle on for a while with
small off-colored foliage. This
should not be confused with
the effects of canker on roses,
borers on woody plants, and
diseases. The latter, however,
have definite symptoms and
can be identified as diseases
whereas root injury is not so
easy to determine.

Less MiIdew?

Bugs and blights seem to be
with us but not in force as
they were last year-at least
the mildew is not as prevalent
and we hope it will not be for
many years. However, we are
better fortified in fighting it
this year - Acti-dione PM,
Karathane. sulphur (wh e n
temperatures are below 80
degrees) and Phaltan. The
latter is a good fungicide but
must be used with care. All of
these materials will do the job
l. mildew should Show up. How
ever, it is best to have a pre-
ventative program to protect
our garden. Then the usual
all-purpose mixtures can be
counted upon to do the job
and the chances are that we
will not see mildew.
Evening star., 1961-06-18
Dog RepeIIunts

Protect the evergreens from
dogs, otherwise the lower
branches die and the shrub is
misshapen There are q number
of repellants on the market
that have various lasting quail
tiles. For longer time protec-
ton some gardeners plant bar
berry around the evergreens.
This works very well provided
the barberrieS are moved or
kept trimmed so that their
foliage does not shade out that
of the evergreenS.
-YOUNGMAN.
Evening star., 1961-06-18
By BILL YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

All too often the gardener
buys a dust or spray with the
intention of protecting plants
from this or that bug Or blight.
Unfortunately not all packages
of dust or spray tell what the
contents are best used for. In
other words, too many garden
ers buy an inSecticide when
they should be buying a fun
gicide, or perhaps the other
way around.
There are two alternatives,
one, we may buy an all-pur-
pose mixture that contains
materials to control diseases as
well as the various kinds of
bugs. Or, if we wish to be Spe-
cialists and buy a specific ma
terial for each problem then
we must know which material
to buy for each group Of bugs
and for the diseases that may
attack our plants. BY and large
the all-purpose mixtures are
the more desirable for the be-
ginning gardeners.
On the other hand it is de-
Sirable to have a few effective
materials on hand to take care
of major problems. Generally
they are insects and for this
reason most gardeners find il
desirable to have a bottle OF
malathion on hand to fight
aphids, scale insects and some
Of the chewerS.
Fermate and Captain are
good materials to have in case
of plant diseases.
The old Bordeaux mixture
that is mentioned in so many
Of the garden books as being
a top-rated material to use in
fighting plant diseases should
