passed 70 to 80 after lengthy
debate.
Debate on Teachers College
Most Of the debate centered
about the defeat Tuesday in
the House Education Commit
tee Of a bill backed by Gov
Tawes which would have con-
verted Frostburg State Teach
erS College into a branch of
the University of Maryland.
Some of the supporters of
the Frostburg bill claimed that
the Lee-Boone resolution was
introduced for purposes Of kill
ing the Frostburg conversion
measure.
The rejection Of the Frost
burg bill was a severe setback
for Gov. Tawes who had placed
the full weight of his office
behind it.
Mr.. Lee today said that his
and Mr.. Boone's resolution
was introduced with the con-
viction that this was the best
way to find the answer to the
very serious problem Of higher
education"
Sees Quick Solution
Mr.. Lee said there are diff
fering opinions on how higher
education facilities should be
expanded and he thought the
commissions study will pro-
duce the best and quickest solu-
ton to Statewide needs"
However, Delegate Jerome
Robinson, Democrat Of Balti-
more, said he believes the COM
mission will only "perpetuate
the kind Of controversy and
arguments we have had for
years."
He said the makeup of the
proposed commission indicates
that it will never be able to
come up with a unanimous
report.
The proposed commission will
have representatives from the
University Of Maryland, the
Board Of Education and the
State superintendent Of
Schools.
The State Superintendent and
the Board Of Education, along
with the teachers association
and the PTA, led the fight
against the Frostburg bill which
had the support Of University
Of Maryland officials.
Mr.. Lee said he believes the
commission will come up with
a recommendation and that the
recommendation will be strong
enough Ito sweep aside any
departmental jealousies and
political considerations"

Crime Rise

Major crimes in Montgomery
County have increased three
times faster than population in
the past nine years, police Supt.
James s. McAuliffe disclosed
yesterday at a special session
of the County Council.
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher has proposed a So mil
lion budget for police activities
in 1862 as compared to $2.9
million this year.
Col. McAuliffe said the in
crease in crime was the direct
result of urbanization Of the
county.
Public hearings on the budget
are scheduled in Rockville at
8 pm. tomorrow and Tuesday
at Broome Junior High School,
and in the county office build
ing auditorium on Wednesday

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 25-The administrations reapportion-

The BILL which would give the urban represen-
taon the General Assembly needs 18 votes get through

the Senate-a three-f1fthS ma
jority.
Proponents Of the measure
have lined up only IL firm votes
for it. Nine Senators have
said they definitely are against
it. One who probably would
vote for it is in the hospital.
This means the administra-
ton will have to pick UP seven
votes from the remaining eight
Senators-an almost inSur-
mountable task.
Confident Of House
Administration Spok e m e n
and urban area legislative lead
erS think they can muster
enough votes to get the bill
through the House of Delegates
Monday night when it comes up
for the second time.
The bill was rejected Friday
by the House when it fell two
votes short Of getting the three
fifths (74) vote needed. Pro-
ponentS were able, however, to
win q reconsideration Of the
vote for Monday night.
Two delegates who were
missing at the Friday vote are
believed to favor the bill, and
If none Of the Friday support
falls away it will go through
the House.
But the rural Eastern Shore
legislators, whose bag of tricks
against reapportionment seems
never to empty, said today
they aren't worried about the
Monday vote.
Would Add FL Members
The bill, drafted by Senator
Edward F. Northrop, Democrat
of Montgomery, and James A.
Pine, Democrat Of Baltimore
County, would add 81 members
to the House of Delegates, most
of whom would go to the four
big suburban counties.
Gov. TaweS had the bill
introduced in the House when
it could not get moving in the
rurally controlled Senate Ju-
dietary Committee.
The House rejection Friday
came despite q last-minute ap-
peal from Gov. Tawes to pass
the bill.
On another issue. the House
Of Delegates today passed a
resolution asking the Governor
to appoint a commission to
study how the state should ex-
pand its higher education IA
cilities. The resolution, intro
duced by Delegates Blair Lee

tices Upon Growth, Fruitfulness
and Fruit Quality"
Pasture Trash
Is Dangerous
To Your Herds

A thorough check over pas
lures before cows are turned
into them can be time we'll
spent, says the County Agent,
George Vapaa.
Trash, broken glass and
WIRE" he says, may produce
nasty udder and foot injuries.
Remove it or bury it. Nails
sticking through boards may
produce serious puncture
wounds in the feet. Old farm
implements should be hauled
away; cows seem unable to re-
sist stepping through old discs
or harrows, often with disas-
trous results"
Loose fence wires need to be
securely fastened, and old rot
ten fence wires should be care
fully cleaned up. A magnet may
be a big help in picking up
nails and bits of wire.
Bury old bottles and tin cans.
A rubber jar ring, for example,
if tramped into by a COW and
drawn above the hoof can cut
off the hoof within a few days.
One old paint bucket may fur
nish enough lead to kill half a
dozen cows, Mr.. Vapaa says.
"They like the taste of lead
paint so much that they will
struggle each other to get as
much as possible from an old
paint can"
Fertilizer and fertilizer bags
are deadly; especially those con-
tanning nitrates. Cows will eag-
erly kill themselves eating in
''In spite of our laws, we still
have a few people who will
pitch a bagful of jund out of
their cars while they drive along
our highways. A cattleman must
be ever mindful of this and try
to remove this stuff before his
cows get to it.
Time spent in removing such
material from pastures might
save you a COW or more"

County and for late, second
crop planting in Kent and Sus-
sex Counties.
Bethel, another short season
variety requiring l25 to 1870
days of growth, is a new vari-
ETY. intended for use on soils
infected with rootknot nema-
todes. Bethel is resistant and
will produce well on nematode
infected soils that will serious
ly reduce yields with other soy
bean varieties. AS a rotation
crop with other nematode sus-
ceptible crops such as canta-
loupes, cucumbers, watermel-
ons, and peppers. Bethel soy
beans will starve the nematodes
so they won't be a problem on
the high-value crops. For most
satisfactory control, Bethel
should be grown two years.

Soybean Meeting
Held for County
Farmers Tonight

Kent County farmers are in
vited to another soybean ses-
sion which is scheduled for
March Both at 800 p. M, at
the Georgetown High School ac-
cording to George Vapaa, Kent
County Agricultural Agent. This
meeting is not a repeat of the
meeting held earlier on soy
beans, but more new informa-
tion and different speakers from
the first over flow meeting earli-
er this month.
Ernest Scarborough, Univers-
ity of Delaware agricultural en-
gineer, will discuss such topics
as: minimum tillage, planter and
cultivator adjustments, fertilizer
placement, use of the rotary
hoe, irrigation and harvesting.
University of Maryland agro-
nomist, DR.. Robert Leffel will
present his research data on
row widths, date of planting
and rate of seeding of soybeans.
DR.. Leffel is considered an au-
thority in this field.
To summarize the meeting,
Frank Springer, Delaware agro-
nomist will give his formula
on ''How to Grow 40 Bushels
of Soybeans." Mr.. Springer's
discussion will include both his
research and field experience on
the subject. His subjects will
include the varieties recommen-
ded in Delaware, soybean seed
treatment, fertilizer and lime
research, chemical weed con-
troll and crop management.
Mimeographed recommends
tions will be available at this
meeting and questions are en-
couraged. Anyone who did not
get these at the last meeting
will have another chance to do
SO. The last session was so
crowded that two simultaneous
sections were held. There will
be ample room this time, Mr..
Vapaa included.

Delaware is showing signs of
being taken over by soybeans.
At least acreage has been in
creasing steadily over the last
few years due to several rea-
sons. Soybean acreage hit 1884,
600 acres last year, up from
$4,000 acres in 1859.
Soybeans require little labor
and therefore fit in very well
on a farm that has other high
labor requirement crops or is
simply short on labor.
Soybeans also require very
little capital SO many farmers
operating with limited working
capital like soybeans. 1t costs
about $40 to plant an acre of
soybeans according to Univers-
ity of Delaware agricultural eco
nomists. In comparison, it costs
about $53 to grow an acre of
corn.
But even at the low $40 cost
many Delaware farmers are
making very little, if any, pro-
fit from their soybeans. The
average yield in the state last
year was "a bushels. Prices at
harvest time were about$2. This
adds up to SAB on an average
yield. Of course, many farmers
failed to grow the average yield.
On the other hand, many
farmers hit 40 bushel per acre
yields. What makes the differ
ence? Management. The answ-
er is not in added investment

but rather in selecting the right
variety, soil testing to be sure
the soil is not too acid or under
fertilized, and planting the right
plant population with the right
plant spacing, at the right time,
along with effective weed con-
troll practices.
Just picking the right variety
can make a difference of sew
eral bushels in your yield.
! According to Frank B. Spring
er, agronomist with the Univer-
sity of Delaware, the following
varieties are the best under the
various conditions found in Del
aware:
Hood soybeans are a good
full-season bean for use in Sus-
sex County. They take l40 to
las days to mature and yield
very well.
Hill soybeans are the best in
termediate variey. They require
130 to l35 days to mature
which is just right for Kent
County or for late planting in
Sussex County.
For short-season planting, IRE
quiring l25 to l30 growing
days., Clark, Kent and Wabash
are all good varieties. Kent is
the best because it is high
yielding and is resistant to pod
and stem blight. However, it is
a new variety and seed is not
yet widely available. These var
ieties are best for New Castle

Apple Growers
Offered An Aid
For High Yields

A new bulletin, published by
the University of Delaware's
Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Newark, may help ap-
pie growers get faster tree
growth and higher yields. The
bulletin, Effect of Apple Soil
Management Practices Upon
Growth, Fruitfulness and Fruit
Quality" reports l6 years of
experiments on Norfolk loamy
sand soil in southern Delaware.
Nine different soil manage
ment systems were evaluated
with respect to influence on
tree growth, yields, nutrient
content of leaves and several
aspects of fruit quality on Gold
en- Delicious, Red Delicious and
Stayman Winesap apple trees.
Of the 9 systems studied, 2
caused considerably faster tree
growth and larger yields over
the l6 year period. One of
these consisted of poultry man.
ure, applied under the trees in
conjunction with a summer COW
er crop of soybeans. The 9TH
er was a heavy straw mulch in
conjunction with a winter cover
crop of rye.
A ryegrass cover crop in win
ter without mulch promoted
less-rapid tree growth during
the first 8 years, but by the age
of IA years these trees were as
large as any in the experiment
Sod management delayed tree
growth in comparison with all
other systems. Soybean cover
crops with two commercial fer
tilizer programs, and a double
cover crop system of soybeans
in summer and a combination
of rye and vetch in winter, re-
suited in intermediate rates of
growth.
Yields were closely correlat-
ed with tree size, except that
yields began to lag behind the
growth rate under the mulch
system after the age of IL
years.
Fruit quality was not greatly
affected by any of the 8 sys-
TENS studied. Under the mulch,
however, there was a tendency
for increased cracking in the
Winesap variety. Fruit size was
depressed slightly under sod
management without mulch.
Results of the 16-year expert
ment were published by DIR. v.

horticulture at the University
MIR. E. H. Ralph, associate agri-
cultural agent for Sussex Coun-
ty, and MIR. D. B. Williams,
