Six days and six nights q
week 1s-year-old Donald Doug
Smith leads an adult life. He
can live like a teen-ager only
on Sunday.
Doug Is an apprentice jock
ey-the top apprentice jock
ey In the United States in
number Of winners and that
number Is up In the 1905. One
day alone be rode five win
ners.
D. D. Smith, or D. Smith,
weight Ito, is the way Doug is
listed In parenthesis In the
racing charts. But a parenthe-
sis doesn't tell the whole sto-
~ about this Rockville teen
ager.
To be q fuIl-hedged jockey
you have to ride IS winners in
a year. To do this, Doug has
lived a rough schedule and
now he's just waiting out his
year, which will be up In
February.
Early Riser
He gets up at 8 am. (He
lives in a faded yellow trailer
at Shenandoah Downs Race
Track In West Virginia.) He
exercises horses for a couple
of hours, then drives to what
ever track is running In the
day. It has been Laurel. This
week Pimlico opened. After
riding in the daily meet, he
drives back to Shenandoah for
the night races, which start at
Ppm. He eats dinner from IL
pm. to / am. (steak and sal
ad because a jockey has to
watch his weight and then
sacks out.
Life at a race track is ex-
pensive. He has to pay his
agent, his valet fees and buy
his boots Che uses a couple Of
pairs a week at $4O);
breeches, saddle and whip,
plus living expenses. The life
at a track is also hazardous.

face. Another time, a horse
threw it's head back In the
starting gate and gave me q
bloody nose"
Trainers and owners like
having Doug around the track
because Of his pleasant per-
sonality, his knowledge Of
horses and his good manners.
He's never surly, never acts
as If be was doing q trainer a
favor by riding his horse.
Brighter than most appren-
tees, this POoleSville High
School graduate Of 1862 under
stands horses. He was In the
Seneca Valley Pony Club near
POolesville, where he got thor
ough training In all phases Of
horse care and riding.
Doug fell for horses at 6
when he got his first pony. He
was living in Comus, Nd,
then. After high school, be be-
came an e exercise boy at
Charles Town.

half months" says the farm
boy from Rockville. my first
race was on Our Polly In Au-
gust q year ago In Bel Air. I
finished way back. l felt the
roof had come down. ! wasn't
scared, just confused" He
won his first race in October,
a scant two months later,
which is a short time for an
apprentice. In the starting
gate for his first practice, he
handled the horse with such
ease that racing officials
couldn't believe he was a
newcomer.
First Winner
Fight Talk was Doug's first
winner, and he still goes to
call on the retired race horse
on a farm in Montgomery
County. And as for Our Polly,
Doug now owns her. "She's
got the slows, but l like her."
he says.
Doug, in fact, just likes
horses. Unlike most jockeys,
who get their fill Of riding
during the week, Doug is look
ing for a horse to buy so he
can show him on weekends.
On Sunday, his day off,
when he reverts to being a
teen, Doug jumps bareback
on the ponies around his fami-
ly's 17-acre farm off the
Shady Grove road, and takes
them over jumps.
It's also on Sunday that
Doug gets a chance to eat
some Of his mothers home
cooking Ono starches thought.
"You get tired Of eating In
restaurants" he says.
Doug also catches up on

Tomato Disease
Control Means
Regular Spraying

Many homeowners plant a
few tomato plants even though
this may be the extent Of their
gardening activities during the
season.
In addition to such good
management practices as ro-
tating areas in which tomatoes
are grown, using recommended
varieties. planting healthy
plants, and giving plants ample
growing space In full sunlight,
a regular spraying or busting
program to give protection
against disease Is usually a
must If quality tomatoes are to
be grown. Organic fungicides,
such as maneb and zineb, are
replacing the older copper
sprays. Ia tablespoons Of 10
per cent maneb wettable pow
der per gallon Of water or az
level tablespoons Of zineb per
gallon of water are the rec
commended rates of these ma
terials for tomato sprays. II
duSts are used. 1t is recon-
mended that they contain 6 per
cent of one Of these materials.
Fixed copper sprays are su-
perior to the organic materials
for controlling late blight, but
are not as effective for con-
trolling the other leafspot dis
eases of tomatoes. Although
Bordeaux mixture is an excel
lent fungicide, 1t is not a fixed
copper and may injure tomato
plants and lower yield.

The destructive Japanese bee

Al years ago with a probable
strength Of less than dozen

extent that Government ento-
mologists are expressing con-
cern about its ultimate distri-
button.
The insect literally devours

ornamental vines and truck
and garden crops.
1t was first discovered in a
nursery near Riverton, N. j., in
1916. It had been known pre-
viously to occur only in the
main islands Of Japan. 1t ap-
parently had arrived on nur-
sery stock from Japan. 1t no
longer is an agricultural pest
in that country because there
are no longer large areas there
favorable for its reproduction
The Agriculture Department
has expressed its concern over
the headway being made by the
beetle in nccunvinO new aroo G
in this country by issuing a
full-sized handbook about the
insect. its destructiveness and
ways Of combating it. Hereto
fore, information had been lin
tied to a small circular.

from the small area in New
Jersey to more than 100,0 900

westward into Ohio and West
Virginia, covering all or parts
of IA States and the District
of Columbia.
Local colonies have been es-
tablished in Indiana. Illinois,
Tennessee, Kentucky. Michi-

THE probable ultimate dis
tribution of the beetle in the
North American continent is
a matter Of much interest and
concern" the department said.
Spread into the Great Plains
States. throughout the South
and into irrigated areas Of the
Rocky Mountain States was
said to be possible If not likely.
Efforts to control the beetle
involve use Of natural para
sites and insecticides.
"As the range Of the beetle
widens each year new groups
OF people will see the invader
for the first time" the hand
book said. "In these newly in
vaded areas, high populations
can be expected to develop and
persist for a number of years.
This will result In damage of
economic Importance to a va
riety Of unprotected plants. And
will require the application Of
insecticides to control grubs in
the soil, protect crops and re-

Midway Iris Season
Coils for Critical Eye

infected with rhizome rot 1t
is well to treat the immediate
area around the newly set-out
rhizome with some sterilant,
such as chlorox or bichloride
of mercury.
The rhizomes should be
spaced about a foot apart. Most
gardeners place in clumps Of
three, so placed that the new
growth is towards the out
side rather than towards the
center.
In planting a rhizome open
a furrow so that the roots can
be tucked almost straight down
into the soil. The rhizome, how
ever, need only be pressed into
the soil, perhaps g very light
covering. The iris will soon get
it's rhizome on top Of the soil
where 1t enjoys q good sun
baking. II the plants are set
on a slight ridge they will have
the benefit Of perfect drainage,
but the roots will still be able
to seek food and moisture with
little danger Of drying out.
BOrer Major Problem
The iris borer is one Of the
major problems Of iris grow
ing. The eggs are laid on the
foliage about Towering season.
Shortly thereafter they hatch
and the larvae crawl down.
wards until they reach the over
lap in the leaves where they eat
their way in. This is usually
evident by the chewed edges Of
the overlapping leaves.
Once inside Of the leaves
they are difficult to kill.
Thus, the control program
has been to keep a DDT COW
ering on the leaves. Because
of the waxy coating of the
leaves the DDT will not adhere
without a good sticker being
included in the mixture. With q
sticker, DDT will give fairly
good control Of the borers.
The newest control program
Is to spray the foliage. when
it is 8 to 8 inches high. with
dimethoate. This method has
not been widely used In this
area. hence 1t should be tried
experimentally until it's effec-
tiveness can be determined.

The 1868 iris season is about
midway, and 1t might we'll be
said that 1t is past mid-season
If we include the dwarfs whose
season Of bloom is now past.
However, 1t is the tall bearded
varieties that claim the atten-
tion Of most gardeners and they
are in their prime. And, now is
the time to look them over and
decide which are inferior to
the newer ones and might we'll
be discarded. Also, 1t is time to
mark those clumps which are
minced Of lifting and dividing.
The tall-bearded iris are
one Of the joys of the spring
garden. They are available In
such q wide range Of colors
and blends today that they full
ly justify the descriptive name,
rainbow flowers. From crisp
blue whites to the deepest Of
purpleS. In addition, today's
varieties are, in general, much
better branched than of the
older ones. BY this we mean
the side branches are better
spaced and thus each stalk
might well have 3 or 4 blooms
well placed for good showing.
The older varieties often had
loose or open petals at the top
while the falls - the lower
petals - often Rugged the stem.
Today the fashion seems to be
toshave the falls flaring out to
give a suitable frame for the
upright growing petals - the
standards. Thus the form of
the flower as well as the growth
Of the plant and the new COL
ors make our rainbow flowers
much more attractive than
those Of yesteryear.
Not Demanding
Iris are not demanding flow
ers although they do respond
to good culture. Generally
speaking, they want full sun,
that Is the tall bearded, dwarfs
and intermediates. They resent
poorly drained soils but this
can be remedied by planting
them in slightly raised beds.
The soil should be only slightly
acid, well enriched with COM
post or leafmold. Sphagnum
moss may be used but the acid
ity should be counteracted with
pulverized limestone.
Many gardeners include bone
meal at the time of bed prepa-
ration to feed the strong grow
ing plants during their first
season. Others feed with any
of the better commercial fer
tilizers during the growing sea-
son, scratching it into the soil
very shallowly to avoid injury
to the roots.
Iris, being strong growers.
and multiplying rapidly, need
to be lifted or thinned every
three or four years. The usual
practice is to lift the clumps
following the Towering season
and to divide them into fairly
large sections so as to insure
having bloom the following sea-
son. Very small divisions sell
dom flower the first season
after dividing.
As the sections are cut apart
each rhizome should be in
spected for signs of borers.
whenever, one is found, 1t
should be removed and the area
of injury treated with a fun
gicide such as Bordeaux mix
ture, fermate. etc. The same
practice is followed for rhizome
rots. Clean and sterilize each
area Of infection.
Wait for CaIIus
The tops of the divisions
should then be cut in half, and
many will then place the rhi-
zones in the sun for a few
days while the cut surfaces
callus over. This greatly re-
duces the danger Of infection
after planting.
