Years Addition
Of 1000 Rooms
Easily Filled
BY CHARLES COVELL
Star Staff Writer

Washington was bullying at
Its seams most of last week.
Despite the addition of 1000
new hotel rooms in the last
year, rooms were so difficult
to find between Baltimore and
Fredericksburg that one family
OF four slept in their car on
the grounds of a Fairfax motel.
The motel manager had vainly
called all her friends trying to-
find the wayfarers room.
1t didn't matter how much
money you had to spend. Even
Washington's expensive, new
Madison Hotel, where rooms go
up to $33 and suites to 500,
reported itself completely sold
out Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday nights.
At the Georgetown and Sky
line Inns, also comparatively
new and plush, the managers
made emergency arrangements.
Collins Bird, manager Of the
Georgetown Inn, set UP a roll
away bed In his office for a |
man who couldn't find a room
anywhere. At the Skyline Inn.
James LeSko, new manager,
rented his own apartment for
three nights in row to strand
ed guests. One of those nights
he slept in his office and the
other two on a rollaway cot in
the linen room.
AffabIe Managers
If hotel managers were more
affable than usual to their
guests, you couldn't blam e
them. The sharp upturn in
business followed a relatively
poor first quarter. Bourbon A.
Dawes, executive secretary of
the Washington Hotel Associa-
ton, said March occupancy fig
ures we're not complete but
coupled with those Of January
and February, he expected a |
10 to IL per cent decline.
The Easter week influx is not
at all new. Washington hotels
additionally have at least one
big week in April when it is
not uncommon to turn away
hundreds of prospective guests.
At the same time, Mr.. Dawes
said he was happy that the
1000 extra rooms created by
the opening of new hotels had
been able to ease the situation.
Hudson S. Moses, manager Of
the Burlington Hotel and pres
ident Of the association, attrib-
uted the poor business in the
first quarter to several factors,
including a misunderstanding
about the new income tax reg
ulations regarding expense &C
counts.
1T has had a bad effect,
psychologically, on convention
visitors" he said. "They feel
they cannot bring their wives
and deduct their expenses nor
write off the entertainment
costs they formerly did. The
only good business I see is for
the cash register manufactur-
ers. Everyone is demanding q
receipt for everything, includ-
ing a drink"
Travelling Tough
Other factors were the in
crease In available rooms and |
the bad winter. MANY persons
who had made reservations
were unable either to fly or
drive to Washington" Mr..
Moses added.
Hotelmen expect business to
remain good now through May
Is. Some motels reported April
business far ahead Of last year.
These include the meetings |
Of the American Bar Associa-
ton, which brought 900, Pru-
Dental Insurance Co., 1000.
American Association of An
atomists, 1000, and Daughters
of the American Revolution,
1000 plus. Others are the
American Geophysical Union
and American neurological
Society. 1900 and the Ameri-
can Physical Society. 1000.

''My Things Are Green Here"
said five year old Jimmie Nc
Bride, just landed by plane from
Libya. His family formerly Of
Dover Air Force Base had been
rotated home after three years
service overseas.
Now 1t Is true that our humid
Northeast Is not a desert. But
your county agent recalls his
return from North Africa In 1914
to the state Of Washington. The
Columbia River Valley at that
time was a desert area Just
like that In Africa. Today, /
am told, the Valley blooms be-
cause Of irrigation water sup
piled by the Grand Coulee Dam.
So even five year old can
recognize that there is some
thing special about farming in
the United States. A mere ten
hour Jet flight separates two
sharply contrasting rural cul-
lures. Many ancient civiliza-
tionS died because the people
would not nurture and preserve
their natural resources.

Identification Card !.
The Best Card You Can
Hold i'm Your Hand

Whether your family calls it
Identification card, I'D card, or
membership card-it is all the
same. Don't gamble with your
health care; carry your iden-
tification card always. 1t iden-
titles you as a Blue Cross and
Blue Shield member, gives your
name, certificate number, and
type of coverage. Only with all
this information can your doc
tor, your hospital, and your
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of
flee provide you care and an
swer your questions.
Win the most possible bene-
fits from your Blue Cross and
Blue Shield contract. Carry the
best card you can hold - in
your wallet-at all times.
Here's how valuable your
Blue Cross and Blue Shield
identification card is to you.
During 1862, 90.1c out of every
dollar was paid for members
care, 6.5c went for operating
expenses, and 3.4c was put in
reserve for emergencies. This
high percentage of payments
for members care is not dupli-

1t is wise to make certain
that every member of your
family has his card. Duplicate
copies of your card are avail
able upon request. Your I'D
card should be your constant
companion; it is a never-fail-
ing protection.
Incidentally, if you have any
questions about your contract
and the coverage it provides,

Home Food Freezer
May Be Defrosted

Spring Is a good time to de-
frost a home freezer, so 1t will
be ready for the seasons crop
Of fruits and vegetables, says
Miss Janet Coblentz, extension
food and nutrition specialist at
the University of Delaware.
Before doing anything else,
disconnect the electrical plug
from the wall, she says, to avoid
getting a shock. Remove all pack
ages of frozen food and wrap
them In several layers of news
paper. Place In an insulated pic
mic cooler, II you have one;
otherwise, place the newspaper
wrapped packages In corrugated
boxes and cover with blankets.
Put an electric fan In the
freezer, directing 1t toward the
frosted area. When moving the
fan, be sure to unplug 1t before
touching 1t, since the moisture
In the freezer might cause a
shock. An electric hair dryer
can also be used, but 1t should
be hand-held. Miss Coblentz

Small Farm Wheat Growers :
those with a1lotments Of less
than Is acres Of wheat are re-
minded that their deadline for
qualifying to vote In the ref
erendum is May IS. Growers
with larger wheat a1lotments are
automatically eligible to vote.
Check with the local ASC office
for details.
Changes have been made In
the wheat program to meet new
conditions brought about largely
by technology, Jacob Zimmer-
man, Chairman, Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
State Committee, said today.
One important change pro-
vided by the new law which auth
orizes the 1864 wheal program,
he pointed out, IS that the former
national allotment of
SIS million acres is discontinued.
The national acreage allotment
Of 49.5 million acres for 1864
crop wheat represents the acre
age which, with adjustments and
at an average yield OF 25 bushels
per acre, would produce the ma
tional marketing quota Of 1,220
million bushels. The adjust
ments made are for estimated
underplantings Of allotments and
estimated increases in allot-
ments on farms with small farm
allotmentS.
Chairman Zimmerman ex-
planned that the national a1lot-
ment is apportioned among all
the States on the basis of acre.

stresses the Importance of being
especially careful wien using
these appliances, because Of the
danger Of getting an electrical
shock II they come In contact
with the melting Ice.
AS the ice melts, remove 1t
with rubber or wooden scrap
er. A metal scraper may damage
the freezer walls.
Wipe up water from the freez-
er with heavy towels. To clean
the interior freezer walls, use
a solution to two tablespoons Of
baking soda to a quart of warm
water. Wipe with a cloth dampen-
ed with clear water. Gaskst and
outside Of freezer may be wiped
off with soap and water, and then
rinsed thoroughly.
Dry freezer completely with
clean towels. Connect the freez-
er and let 1t run 20 or 80 min-
utes before replacing food pack
ages. When returning packages
to the freezer, place the oldest
ones on top or at the front, so
they will be used first.
When defrosting your freezer,
work as quickly as possible SO
the packages you have removed
will not defrost, Miss Coblentz
reminds.

age seeded for production of
wheat during the 10 years 1e53-
1862, with adjustments for alb
normal weather and for trends
In paintings County allotments
are determined on essentially the
same basis. The county allot-
ments are apportioned among In
ldividual farms according to past
acreage Of wheat, tillab1e acres,
rotation practices, type Of soil,
and topogra Apply, with specialpro-
visions for small farms.
Wheat producers will soon be
informed Of the acreage allot-
ments for their farms. The
Chairman urged growers who
have questions about their allot-
ments or any other part Of the
1864 wheat program to get In
touch with their ASCS County
office. He said that every effort
is being made to get full and
correct information to all wheat
growers before the May 81 wheat
quota referendum. How that vote
goes will decide, among other
things, the price-support level
and whether a diversion program
is available for the 1864 wheat
crop.
Plants Also Can Eat Too Much
And Too Fast. Where you place
fertilizer Is as important as
when, what kind, and how much.
Precision placement offertili-
zer and its dollars-and- cents
importance is now receiving con-
siderable attention.
This is natural. A few years
ago, the average fertilizer sold
in the county was low In plant
nutrient content. Application
rates were low. Where or how
the fertilizer was applied was
nOl 81 1lIlPOI tdHl DcCduSc Tie
plant nutrients were not Hfhoto
enough to hinder termination or
to cause fburning".
But today it's an entirely Diff
ferent story, explains DR.. VIII
liam H. Mitchell, our extension
agronomist at the University OF
Delaware. Farmers are using
more fertilizer, and 1t has a
higher concentration of plant
nutrients.
These high analysis fertilizers
have played a major role In
boosting crop yields and in in
creasing profits. But, the burn
ing effect of high analysis fert-
ilizers improperly placed can
decrease or slow up termination.
AS a result yields and profits
go down.
Proper fertilizer placement is
the answer to these difficulties
Keep the high analysis fertilizers
away from the seed. Put the

where the plant roots
will grow to 1t.
Fertilizer for most row crops
should be placed about inches
below and 2 inches to the side Of
the seed. When the fertilizer Is
placed Like this, the seed GER
inmates normally. The main root
grows straight down to supply
water to the seeding. After the
food inside the seed has been
consumed, side roots develop and
come In contact with the fertiliz-
er. Thus, the young plant has
the fertilizer available when It's
ready to grow not while it's
terminating.
Remember, the secret of sue
cess II to put fertilizer out
where the roots will grow to 1t.

owners are often confronted with
the choice Of repairing winter

cause mature plants can be prob

Children and Farm Machinery
Don't Mix Children and farm
machinery add up to a bumper
crop Of farm accidents each year.
q is the responsibility ofparents
to see that these accidents can't
happen. Forbid children to ride
on the tractor or other machinery
and keep them away from all
farm equipment when 1t Is In
operation.
Beef Back Scratcher Beef
operators can install a back
scratcher or back rubber which
will serve the dual purpose OF
saving on fences and controlling
insects on their beef COWS. The
back scratcher Is a piece of
heavy rope extended from a six
foot pole and anchored to the
ground about eight feet from the
base of the pole. A wire coi1ed
around the rope will satisfy the
animals desire to scratch. A
five gallon can of insecticids
mixed with oil can be anchored
to the top Of the post so that a
small opening in the can will
allow the mixture to drip on tc
the rope. AS cows scratch, they'll
take the insecticide on to their
backs which will kill lice and keer
flies away.
Insects cost $4 billion year
About 10000 different species o
Injurious insects In this countr,
attack crops, forests, livestock
and property at an estimated cos
of 81 billion a year. Most of the
major insect pests have come
from other lands. Entomologtsts
routfnely go back to the native
area of an introduced insect to
search for allies among its nat
ural enemies. They scout for
predators that devour a pest
