many legal maneuvers before
the title was cleared.
The first clubhouse was of
logs and the first trial took
place November "a, 1918, when
about a dozen riders and their
dogs assembled at Wisconsin

now the site of a drug store,
to seek native quail. A two

Moves to Virginia
Birdy fields in what is now
Bethesda were used for about
IA years, but then the club was
forced to switch to the Northern
Virginia Field Trial Club
grounds near Centreville.
Meantime, in 1925, the dog
clubhouse burned down but with
insurance money, the club was
able to build another that was
used until its sale in 1860. Many
a cornwall gathering was held
there and the clubs pre-trial

5Oh ANNIVERSARY TRIAL
Doc Club Homeless But Rich in Tradition
BY CHARLES COVELL
outdoor Editor

Starting Wednesday, highly
trained settlers and pointers,
top dogs of the field trial world,
will race around the grounds
OF the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Chapter of the IZaak Walton
League, near Poolesville, Md.
Following them as the dogs
scent out and take rigid points
over planted quail will be
judges and fans on horseback.
Pistols will bark to simulate
the sound of actual gunfire and
then all will return to start
another round.
The scene will be interesting
to anyone who likes dogs or
hunting but slightly ersatz if
one hearkens to the early his
tory of the club that is Spon-
Soring it.
Anniversary Event
This will be the 50th ami
versary event of the National
Capital Field Trial Club, ex-
tending through Sunday. There
will be an open shooting dog
stake, for pros as well as anna
teurs, and derby, all-age and
shooting dog strictly for anna
teurS.
But old timers, notably Ford
E. Young, only survivor among
the founders, will look back on
the early years when the quail
were wild, native coveys in
stead of birds whirled, dizzied
and thrust into the grass to fool
the dogs.
These coveys, though, were
not the scattered few that one
finds today 20 or more miles
from Washington, but the quail
that once thrived where BetheS-
da's fine homes and shopping
centers stand. For the clubs
history is closely tied in with
the suburban growth Of Wash
ington and it is homeless today
because of that growth.
Dates to 1912
The club had it's beginning
when a group of sportSmen
gathered in the summer of
1912 on benches in DUPONT
Circle. Among the sportsmen
were Charles Hume, Brooke
and William Weeks, H. M.
Dickinson, Thomas Baldwin,
Walter Kidwell, Charles Ken
gla and Young.
Actually, though. the club
was an outgrowth of the
Maryland and District of CO.
lumbia Field Trial Club which
ran fall trials from 1908
through 1911. Among the par
Elephants was Jack Dunn, old
time baseball player-manager
and later owner of the Balti-
more Orioles. d
In 1918 the club was given
one and $40 acres of land by
the Great Falls Railway Co.,
which ran a trolley line from
Wisconsin avenue, Bethesda,
to Great Falls, Md. The plot
was located on what is now
Burdett road, off Bradley
Boulevard, near grounds which
were then used for field trials.
Gift Haunts Club
Oddly enough, the gift, vel
come at the time, served to
haunt the club in later years
for when the Bradley Boule-
ward section became filled with
fine homes surrounding the
clubs beloved, but by COMPARE

was difficulty in selling. 1t took

Early Cutting Credited
For Top Quality Grass

EARLY cutting of forage is the
most important step in making
top quality grass silage, reports
George Vapaa, Kent county a
gent.
Most legume or mixed leg
ume forage must be cut when
leguems are well-budded and
before any appreciable amounts
of bloom can be found, he says.
The general trend has been to
cut too late which causes a
loss of feeding value.
Grass or mixed grass for
age should be cut when the
grass heads are beginning to
emerge from the boot and be-
fore any bloom occurs on the
heads. This means most far
mers should start harvesting
one or two weeks earlier than
they have in the past. Proper
time to harvest first cutting for
age is the same whether it is
made into hay or silage.
Vapaa says earlier cutting
alone can improve the total
nutridve value of hay or sill
age by S to is percent on many
farms. This is greater in
crease in feeding value than can
be obtained by any other forage

Smyrna times., 1962-06-21

Most farmers are feeling the
effects of higher costs of pro-
duction with no increase In
prices for their products. The
only immediate answer to this
dilemma is to improve farm
management skills.
Here are some cost cutting
techniques that will help farm
ers meet these demands.
Fertilizer Pays Dividends
Put your commercial fertilizer
investment where 1t will do the
most good. The initial applica-
tion of fertilizer gives the big
gest return per dollar. With
limited cash, lower rates of
application over more acres
pays better than higher rates
over fewer acres. When cash
is limited, use fertilizer first
on the high value crops. Look
for other places to cut costs
before you cut fertilizer in
vesment.
Farmstead Planning---The
next major chronological break
through In agriculture will
probably be centered around the
farmstead. Although this is the
primary center of farm work, 1t
is usually poorly designed and
lacks planning for efficient OPP
Grafton. An example of this is
a comparison between a we'll
arranged loose housing system
and conventional stall barns.
The loose housing reduced ira
vel 80 percent and time spent
per COW seven percent.
Incentive Payment For Farm
Hands--The way a hired man
does his work affects the pro-
fits made by the farmer. How
ever, the hired mans earnings
aren't necessarily related to
the work he does or the profits
of the farm. Many farmers
are considering some type of
incentive payment which would
reward the hired man for better
