Common Market Problem

IRON Brussels comes word that the
European Common Market is not
too interested in bargaining with the
United States for mutual tariff con-
cessions of a major nature.
Unofficially, one official said that it
was now the United States which need
ed major concessions from the Com
mon Market but that the Common
Market no longer needed concessions
from Washington.
What the situation TODAY actually
amounts to is that the United States is
steadily losing it's gold to Europe, and
steadily experiencing an unhealthy
balance of payments deficit. The Euro

Guards Trees

May is when insects start
feeding in treetops. They must
eat, but they need not riddle
and mar or defoliate q favorite
shade tree.
General feeders are the worst
enemies Of shade trees In
spring, and there may be as
many as Q dozen or more diff
ferent kinds Of insects preying
on Q single tree.
The most common and
troublesome are linden loopers,
cankerworms, moths (such as
the destructive gypsy moth)
span worms, beetles, sawf1ies,
leaf rollers. and aphids. On
some trees and in certain areas
one type Of insect may domi-
nate others.
Tree owners are usually un-
aware Of these attacks In the
SUBMITS Of trees until worms
begin dropping and leaves are
peppered with holes. But this
damage can be averted by
spraying. Spray In early May
with either lead arsenate, DDT,
malathion or methoxychlor.
Proper spraying can usually
control most Of these pests e.
fectively.
Birch Leaf Miner
The graceful gray birch is q
lawn favorite. Yet by June and
July many Of the green leaves
turn brown, wrinkle and drop.
This Is caused by the birch
leaf miner. This damage can be
avoided by spraying with lin
dane or malathion-thoroughl
covering top and sunny parts of
the tree.
Timing is important. Hold q
leaf against the sky. A white
dot an eighth Of an inch in
diameter indicates q Just
Matched miner. Spray then and
repeat the application In 10
days.

Ways to Get
Better Grass
Under Trees
By BRIAN K. Finger

@~@Ne@@@N - =
Assistant County Agent. Rockville. Nd.
Shaded areas often constitute
q major lawn maintenance
problem. At best it Is difficult
to maintain good turf under
trees, particularly II the trees
are shallow rooted types such
as naples. There are q number
of maintenance practices which
may improve turf under trees.
/. Use shade tolerant grasses,
In the Maryland area and
throughout northern United
States red fescue. Chewings
fescue, and Poa trivialis are
the best shade grasses in that
order.
2. Fertilize the grass fire.
quently at two times the nor
NAL rate. This will provide ade-
quate nutrients for grass and
trees and reduce the competi-
ton between grass and trees
for the available nutrients.
8. Remove all unnecessary
trees. In many instances the
general landscaping Of the
lawn area can be improved by
removing those trees which are
not contributing to the basic
landscape design.
4. Prune remaining trees
heavily to remove dead or un-
necessary branches and to al
low more light to enter the
area.
5. Prune shallow roots which
compete with the grass fol
nutrients and moisture. Re.
moval Of many Of the mor'
shallow roots can be done with
out harming the tree itself.
G. Apply lime If the soil hal
become strongly acid.
Z. Remove fallen leaves ant
other debris promptly by rak
ing, sweeping or mechanica
grinding. Leaves allowed to &C
cumulate on the lawn ma,
smother the grass.
8. Wet the soil deeply whel
] applying irrigation water. tn

inches. Water must be applies
slowly in order to prevent run
off which will occur If the In

The Burden, With Big Election Impact
Is Viewed as Falling on Democrats

The battle of jobs is be-
ing Joined on a wide front
and will have a profound i'm
pact on the elections next
fall.
It is more geographical
and chronological than it is
political, but nonetheless the
people affected look to the
politicians to help them.
The heaviest burden is
naturally on the party in
power. The Kennedy admin
istration, now happily taking
credit for the sunshine of
successful orbital flight, must
work this one out in the rain.
That the President is fully
aware of the unattractive
possibilities for him in the
situation appeared in his in
cautious s-conference adj
mission that he would be
inclined to approve" a Labor
Department proposal to
channel defense contracts to
distressed areas.
The rockets scared swiftly
from major defense-industry

low bid and high perform

quite the emotional impact of
the counter-punch dis
