Care for Milking Machine— If
milking machines are given reason-
able care, they will give good serv-
ice for a long time.
Stop Soil Losses—Strip farming
not only conserves moisture for
future use of crops but also saves
the soil from running away. Grain
or sod strips are alternated with
strips in cultivated crops on the
contour. Strips 80 to 100 feet
wide are recommended.
Wean Pigs Later—. Pigs eight
weeks or older at weaning time
make more efficient use of feed
later than pigs weaned at an earlier
age. If the sow is not to farrow
a fall litter, the spring pigs can
be left with her 12 to 14 weeks.
Save Fruit Trees—Make prompt
repair of damage done to fruit trees
by ice storms last winter. Many
of the limbs split apart can be
trussed back into position with eye-
bolts and short strands of wire.
Grafting wax protects and helps
to heal frastures.
Avoid Too Much Raking— Fine
pulverizing of the garden soil is a
waste of time. After spading,
smooth the surface and break the
clods. Be sure to wait until the
ground is dry enough to work.
Identify Young Calves—Dairymen
realize the need of proper identifi-
cation of calves born into the herd.
Use official ear tags, although pri-
vate tags may be used to advantage
in the individual herd.
Use Good Seed—For growing an-
nual flowers, good seed is needed.
Get seed from reliable firms.
Control Rose Diseases—Growing
of beautiful roses depends upon
disease control. Among these dis-
eases are black spot, powdery mil-
dew, and brown canker. Early
sprays or dusts, with repeated ap-
plications, are necessary for con-
trol. :
Care for the Lawn—Sound man-
agement is the key to a good lawn.
Apply lime every 3 or 4 years be-
cause grass prefers a relatively
sweet soil. Fall seeding with per-
manent grasses is preferable, but
bare spots can be covered in spring
with rye grass.
Prevent Soil Loss—Many farmers
this spring are laying out their
fields in contour strips to save soil
from washing away. Alternate
strips in sod or grain help to catch
water running off the cultivated
strips between them.
Prepare Fleeces Well— Sheep
should be shorn on a clean floor
when the wool is dry. Tie the
fleeces, flesh side out, with paper
twine and store in a cool, dry place.
Plant Onion Sets—A well-pre-
pared soil is needed by onion sets
which are spaced three inches apart
in shallow rows. Sweet onions are
grown from transplants watered
when planted. -
Records Are Good—Daughters of
bulls in artificial breeding co-opera-
tives are producing over 400 pounds
of butterfat per year.

“THE POST, FRIDAY, APRIL 3b, 1948
" BILL'S BITS
By Bill Hart
=
Looks like a big weekend. There
will be plenty of baseball for all
Back Mountain Region fans. The
Bi-County League opens and Dallas
Legionaires and Jackson start play
in two different valley leagues.
Arch Austin, secretary, tells us
that Bi-County League action has
speeded up considerably since last
season. He thinks that the weak
teams have dropped out and that
the two newcomers, Shavertown
and Harding should more than hold
their own in league competition.
The High School League is com-
ing up with some unpredictable
games. Dallas Borough, which is
sitting pretty low in the league
gave Harter a large size scare Tues-
day and but for a few bad breaks
and need for better officiating Dal-
las would have toppled the league
leaders. On the other hand Dallas
Township, impressive in its early
season victories, took such a maul-
ing from Lehman that the Humane
Society should have called it off
after the first inning.
And here’s one for the books,
Ken Shaver, Dallas Borough’s first
baseman was beaned by “Red”
Winters, Dallas Township, and got
| a free ticket to first.’ On the next
pitch, Ken stole second; on the
next, third; and to top it off stole
home on the next one. All the
way around the bases on four con-
secutive pitches. In the same game
Johnny Monka, the Borough’s sec-
ond baseman and relief pitcher,
hit the first home run of the sea-
son on the Dallas Township Field.
Pete Clark Jr., Baldwin street,
ex-Wyoming Seminary swimmer
"and Stan Davies Jr. Church street,
are home from Princeton for the
weekend.
Larry Newhart and Chet Rusilo-
ski, who played with the Legion-
aires last year are playing with
Jackson ball club.
Bob Grose, the Legionaires star
shortstop last year, is running into
some hefty competition for that
position down in Virginia. He's
battling four other players, one of
whom was the regular for the team
last year.
C. Smith, Kingston Township
star, is batting at a hardy clip in
the Back Mountain League. At last
reports he had 6 hits in 12 times
at bat. Four of them doubles, for
a .500 average, which is mighty
respectful in any man’s league.
Other sluggers on the Kay-Tee team
are R. Hons at .429, E. Evans at
375 and J. Youngblood at .300.
“Red” Winters, Dallas Township’s
twirler, is getting quite a rep as a
beanball artist. He's hit eight men
in three games. Emerson Vietch,
Dick Wallace, and Joe Tondora are
still waving the big stick. They are
responsible for many of the Town-
ship’s hits.
Beaumont High School is burn-
ing up the Western Division of the
Wyoming County League. The boys
seem to have everything they need
for the title, with batting and pitch-
ing to spare.
Tuesday’s Laketon-Lehman game
produced some plain and fancy
hitting for both teams with the
victories Lehman squad sporting
!such records as Naugle 2 for 3,
| Bombick 2 for 4 and Nuff 2 for 4
while Laketon’s Zosh had 2 for 3.

Legionaires
Open Season
Meet Courtdale
Sunday Afternoon
Dallas Legionaires, managed by
Ken Grose, will play their first
game against Courtdale on Dallas
Township Field at 2:30 P.M. Sun-
day. The Legionaires have been
practicing for the past week for
the season's opener. Some of
their future games include Shaw-
nee Tavern, Wanamie A.C. Rail-
way Express, and West Side A.C,
of Kingston. :
Th Legionaires won the regular
season crown last year as a mem-
ber .of the Susquehanna Lower
County League, but lost to Od’s
Cafe of Larksville, winner of the
Upper County title, 8 to 7 for the
championship cup awarded to the
winner of the Upper and Lower
County tilt.
Manager Ken Grose says he wel-
comes everyoné who wishes to play
with the Legion to try out for
the team as the loss of Bob Grose,
Larry Newhart, and Frank Insa-
laco from last year’s champions
has left the team considerably
short-handed. He expects that
Jack Fiske and Harold Brobst will
bear the brunt of the pitching with
Mickey Insalaco and Sparky Ratti-
gan supplying the power.
Practices will be held Tuesdays
and Thursdays at 6 P.M. and Sun-
days at 2 P.M. at Dallas Township
grounds. Present members of the
team are Harry Grose, Jim Knecht,
Glen Roberts, Sparky Rattigan,
Alva Jones, Alan Knecht,
laco, Harold Brobst, Jack Quaill,
Paul Fiske as player-coach and
Ken Grose as player-manager.
Successful Fishermen
Squire Robert Culp of Huntsville,
Grant Alt, Fernbrook, and Elmer
Major, Trucksville, spent last week-
end trout fishing at Pigeon Creek,
Susquehanna County, where they
each obtained their limit.
