Soybean Harvest
Tips Explained
By Specialist

The greatest loss in harvesting
soybeans takes place at the cut
terbar. says Easley Smith. agri-
cultural engineer at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute. This is
largely caused by SCATTERING
which can be held to mini
mum.
Smith says to harvest beans
before they become extremely
dry above 10 per cent mois-
ture. Properly adjust the reel so
it penetrates no deeper than re-
quired. The center line Of the
reel should be 6-12 inches ahead
of the cutterbar. Harvest when
the plant has been slightly re-
wetted by dew or rain to i'm
prove harvesting efficiency and
reduce shattering.
Watch Stubble
Another source Of loss occurs
because of lodging on undisturb-
ed stubble. This loss can be cut
by careful cultivation, leaving
the field smooth, and then run
ming the cutterbar close to the
ground. Pickup reels and-or
pickup guards will also help
with the lodging problems, says
Smith.
Losses through the combine
can be kept to a minimum by
using a slow cylinder speed,
keeping the shoe sieve open.
ard using as much cleaning air
as possible without blowing ex-
cessive free seed into the tail
ings return or over the chatter
Moisture Check
Wet or high moisture beans
may require cylinder sp e d S
nearly twice the recommended
speed for dry beans. In regard
to high cylinder speeds re-
member that termination Of
grain harvested will be inferior
to that threshed at normal
speeds.
Says Smith, If you are seed
ing small grain or a cover crop
Immediately following soybean
harvest, you may consider
straw chopper on your combine.
They do an excellent job Of
chopping the stems and crop
residue and leave fields in an
ideal condition for wing.
Without chopping. this material
is sometimes deposited in piles
which create blowing problems"

Summer boomers for the
shady garden can be a most
welcome addition to the bare
spots in shady places.
While most shady gardens
receive the spring-flow-
ering azaleas there are those
where summer color
could be most welcome.
Even in the azalea border it
is feasible to include small
groupings of perennials so that
interest is possible in other sea-
sons.

The other event on which
there is a shadow is the broad
jump. Igor Ter-Ovanesyan. who
watched Ralph Boston set a
world record of 27-124 in Mos
COW, smashed that mark with
a 27-3 jump June 10.
So this will be a battle of
the worlds two premier broad
jumpers. Boston, who has been
concentrating on his studies at
Tennessee State, showed he was
back in top shape in the AAU
meet when he cleared 1855.
The Russian women have
won all three meets. The last
two were by 67-40 and $3.50.
Both margins were 81 in
events, with the American girls
winning only the 100 meters
and 400-meter relay. That's how
it probably will go again.

BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
Basket on Wall
Gets Recognition
BY MRS. HERBERT H. eREeER

fact, it seemed that any ira
ling, curving or cascading plant
material was Immediately in
harmony with the structural
design.
That is how this arrange
ment happened.
A volunteer, which is too
frail to support itself and trails
over the ground was the likely
choice. 1t resembles Ampelosis
but is without tendrilS and is
also unproductive of berries.
Nicotiana was a suitable part
ner. The right angle position
of the leaves on the vine and
the angular habit of the tubu-
lar nicotiana flowers combined
easily and harmoniously. The
deep red-purple star shaped
flowers tapered into light, al
most white green elongated
tubes which picked up the
emerald green of the leaves.
A waterglass inside the bas-
ket holds enough water to
keep the arrangement in fresh
condition. First. the trail of
the vine was anchored by fold
ing the stem end back and re-
leasing it in the glass. The
Nicotiana was handled in the
same maner, each stem sup
porting itself by this bent-back
heel. You will notice that the
main stems of the flowers
reach rythmically up, through
and combine with the sweeping
curve of the root and the more
shallow curve of the green vine.
The combination of the root,
the basket and the plant ma
terial created a free, swirling
composition that was now har-
monious in size as we'll as color
and texture with the large ex-
panSe of pine wall.

NEW YORK, July IA (AP).-
The United States should de-
feat the Soviet Union, 127-109
and IA first places to 8. in
the fourth of their Olympic
style dual track meets next
week end at Stanford Uniyer-
sity.
This would follow the pattern
of the previous three meets
all won by the United States.
Both countries tend to remain
strong in their traditional
strong events and weak in the
others.
In Moscow in 1858. the United
States won, 126-109, and IA
first places to eight. In 1859
in Philadelphia, the United
States won, 127-108, and again
IA first places to 8. Last year
in Moscow again, America won.
124-111, and Is first places to 8.
The meet is scored on a
5-3-2-1 basis, with each team
entering only two athletes in
an event. The relays are scored
So. The limit on entries auto
matically makes for a close
score.
There are two events in which
the Russians possibly could
turn the tables and cut the
margin almost to a Standoff
in the 22-event program. They
are the hammer throw and the
broad jump.
Hal Connolly, the world
record holder 5000 declined
to make the trip to Moscow
last year. In qualifying for the
meet this year he could do no
better than 215-31a. Against
Poland, his best was 211-2. The
Russians have Yuri Bakarinov,
who has thrown 226-l2. the
second-best throw in the world
this year, and Alexei Baltovsky,
who has toss Of 22734 this
year.

Near my desk. on the wall,
hangs a little basket. 1t should
never be left empty. Without
flowers, it has not the least
decorative value. 1t is too small
for the expanSe of the wall and
thus no better than the paper
scraps that I pin there with
urgent messages to myself. This
was Just another spot in my
search of possibilities for its
successful use. At least, the
background was sympathetic in
color with its lighter brown
stain and occasional knots in
the wood of the pine.
Not everything we do turns
out well and. if we summed up
the total Of our negative re-
suits, we would come up with
a highly disturbing amount, but
our human trend is to remem-
Der most wildly the positive,
the beautiful and the pleasant
which gives us ever more power
to meet the new problems of
each new day.
A piece of weathered root,
which has been a favorite for
many uses, was within reach
when I was planning hanging
arrangements. 1 combined the
two, fastening the little basket
onto the flowing line Of wood
and I was thrilled. The effect
was at once unusual and
charming. The small basket
had acquired a third dimen-
sional quality and it now per-
formed much better against
the comparatively coarse pine
since the root acted as a transi-
ton between it and the fine
textured bamboo.

ply begged for flowers. The

PerennioIs Available
For Shady Places

spring and summer.
Shade of course Is a rela-
tive term and few perennialS
will thrive in really dense
shade. Also, there is the prob
lem of tree roots. Shallow-root-
ed trees such as the elm, ma
pie, beech. ash, etc, so rob the
soil of moisture and plant food
that few weeds can survive. OBJ
viously the home gardener is
hardly willing to take the nee
esSary steps to grow perennials,
or shrubs. under such unfavor-
able conditions.
Dwarf Varieties
But under oaks, hickory, ap-
pie, ETC., it is not only posi-
BILE, but desirable in suitable
situations to have beds of pc
rennials for summer show and
cutflowers.
Some such as the daylilies
may be too vigorous for the
space although there are a
number of dwarf varieties
which are suitable for the
smaller spaces.
The plantain lilies CHosta)
come in all sizes and there are
several that are summer
boomers.
The Japanese an e m on e S
thrive in a light shade If the
soil is moist enough. The mois-
ture may be supplied by in
cooperating compost and peat
moss. Some varieties seem to
be happier in Washington gar
dens than others. Whirlwind
white; Queen Charlotte, pink
} and Kriemhilde, rose colorec
seem to be the best.
The Astilbes with their
feathery foliage seem to offer
a double value, but in this in
stance we welcome their feath-
cry spikes of bloom. A we'll
grown clump with the 2-foot
high flower clusters makes an
attractive showing in the shady
garden. The Astilbes are not
unknown to Washington gar
deners although most people
think of them as the forced
plants generally offered at Eas-
ter. If transferred to a we'll
prepared bed they soon reward
the gardener annually with
bloom. Give them a rich soil
we'll supplied with compost or
peatmoss for best results.
Other Possibilities
The Aruncus sylvester, bet
ter known as goats ard,
makes a surprising display at
this season. The huge bloom
heads, sometimes five or six
feet tall can turn a shady area
into an attractive display.
Some confuse the goatsbeard
with spirea. A similar plant,
the Virginia snakeroot, Cimici-
fuga racemosa, grows wild in
the woodlands. The tall slender
almost cylindrical spikes of
bloom are not supported by
heavy foliage as is the goats
beard. 1t. too, likes a woodsy
soil for best results.
Other summer-flowering pc
rennials for the light shady
situation include the Chinese
balloonflower CPlatycodon) , the
plumy bleedingheart Dicentra
eximiaJ, coralbells CHeuchera) =,
evening primrose (Oenothera
missouriensis), st. Johnswort
(Hypericum), the rosemallow
(Hibiscus), and others might
well be considered in making
selections. The evening prim-
rose wants a fairly dry soil
while the hibiscus likes one
that is fairly moist and rich.

In preparation for next
