Report On
Home Missions

Atlantic City, April 26.-(AP)-
The general conference Of the Meth

home missions today and heard a
report that the mechanization of ag-
ricultUre was resulting in peaSan-
try in large sections OF rural Anne

The complaint was contained in q
report of the church'S committee on
home missions and church extern
sions, which said:
I'VE must be more concerned
about the plight Of the share crop
pers, the homelessness of the mi
grants, the plight of those in dis
tress in the dust bowl, the insecur-
ity Of the tenants, the millions OF
youth banked up in our town anc
country communities without jobs
and without the possibility Of estab-
fishing homes and living norma
lives"
Dwelling at length on social con-
ditions among the "unchurched'
the board said the United States haC
an 'active criminal population" o.

"Half of these are less than q
years old. With many debauchine

This provides good drainage, both
around the base of the plant, which
is very susceptible to mold at that
point, and below the roots, while
furnishing the fertile soil necessary
for growth. In the summer a cacti
will do best if placed out-of doors
in a spot where it will receive lots
OF sun and little or no rain. An
occasional shower will not hurt it,
but prolonged wet spells will If it
is so located that it will not be
rained on. it should be watered
lightly about every 10 days.
A cactus is like a camel. 1t can
live for quite a while on the water
stored within. In fact. some cacti
contain so much water that they
have been known to save the lives
of people caught on the arid plains
without water. It is only necessary
to cut the plant open. and squeeze
the water out of the pulp.
To return to Mr.. Abbotts methods,
cacti rest" during the winter
months and should be placed in
a warm, dry spot and watered only
once a month. Mr.. Abbott finds it
we'll TO do this watering with
solution of ammonium sulphate, one
ounce to gallon of water This
should be used sparingly and will
both feed and water the plants.
Plenty of Light.
Fungi are the only enemies to
his cacti with which this lobbyist
has had trouble so far, although
there are others which may attack
them. Mold will occur if the soil
remains too damp for any length
of time, and scale sometimes appears
without warning This latter fungi
may be picked off by the hand, or
may be killed by a chemical bath,
if proper facilities are at hand for
such treatment. Mr.. Abbott keeps
his plants directly in front of his
windows, where plenty of light is
available. He has about 100 species
of cactl and has recounted several
interesting facts connected with
some of them.

the Sahuaro Undian name), grows

into "reminiscences Of Trolli, her

vous, timid women be given the

for hours at a stretch. Sedate and
elderly people are likely to love dogs

In the Westminster Show at
Madison Square Garden in 1887 the
finale proved a sensation. Best in
show, all breeds, was awarded to
an English setter that had come up
from the classes, a youngster only
IL months old that had defeated
not only its litter brother, another
class winner. for winners dog, but
had set all the veteran English set
ter breeders agog by defeating many
seasoned campaigners and breed
champions for best breed.
When on the third day of the
show he topped a sporting group
English setter enthusiasts were
even more surprised. But surprise
and delight could not express their
feelings when he went on to best
in show. Daro Of Maridor was the
dogs name He was bred and
owned At the time by Dwight Ellis,
an amateur, who shortly after the
sensational victory Of his young dog
dispersed his kennels Daro of
Maridor, the class winner, was sold
eventually to the Prune'S Own Ken
nels, for whom he chalkeG up an
impressive list of best in show wins.
But Daro was unheard Of from the
time Of his big win until recently.
Standard for Breed.
It was said that shortly after his
Westminster win he developed dis
temper, went badly out of condl-
ton, and could not be shown. Be
that as it may, he was not shown
until recently. when he was pur-
chased by c. G. Dimon and again
put in the hands of Charlie Palmer,
professional handler, who showed
him as a puppy. To prove that he
was not a mere flash in the pan,
he has started a new string OF best

that seems destined to oyershadoW
his brothers. Among his recent
WINS may be counted best in shows
at Durham. Winston-Salem and
Tuxedo and best of breeds at Dan

partial list.

embodiment of the breed standard

for in the standard and all found
in the one dog.
The exact origin of the English
setter is unknown. Abraham Flem-
ing in 1878, in his list of British
dogges, mentioned the setter, saying:
They stand still-in silence by their
face, eie and taille they sheW their
game"
But the English setter as we know
him is of more recent origin. He
probably owes much of his present
form to the breeding genius of Ed
ward Lavfrack, who lived from 1900
to 1877. He took a dog that was
predominantly spaniel and pointer
in composition and by means of
breeding, line breeding and inbreed-
ing, developed the bench type dog
of today. What can be done by the
breeder who knows what he is try
ing to do is demonstrated by Laver-
acks Dash, the first blue belton.
Sixty Of this dogs great-grand-
fathers four generations back con-
sisted of four individuals only,
Ponto. Old Moll. Dash 1st and Bella
1st. The modern breeder who at
tempted to inbreed this closely
would probably be laughed off the
boards.
Dual Purpose Settlers.
Laverack' S chief concern IN breed
ing was 10 improve the appearance
OF the English setter. Toward the
end of his period, Richard Purcell
LleWellin, a WelShman, thought the
matter of appearance was being de-
veloped at the expense of ability.
He started what was and still is
known as the LleWellin strain Of
dual purpose settlers He acquired
several Laverack bitches which he
bred to Dan, a home-bred stud. to
found q kennel tull of bench and
field trial winners.
Other early English breeders who
sought to improve the breed were
George Potter Of Wetherill fame,
F. c. Lowe and Elias and Arch
Bishop. Present-day kennels in
England that have sent over dogs
WnICn nave mace snow and breed
history here are the Bavldone,
CTombie and Pennine Kennels.
While in other breeds, most of
the dogs imported for show and
stud purposes bear the title in their
own and other European countries,
it is interesting to note that but
few English settlers or other gun
dogs come to this country with the
English prefix. This is due to the
fact that for a sporting dog to gain
the coveted title in England ne has
not only to win the necessary three
challenge certificates at champion
ship shows, but must also win hon.
ors in the field Few sporting dogs
are capable of the feat. Yet in this
country. the line of demarcation
between bench and field type grows
more dim daily.

The many ways in which dogs
do their bit in this world have
never been completely listed. One
of the newer ways is that Of raising
money for worthy causes. At Cum
berland Nd, last week, a giant
Christmas party was held at the
armory to raise money for the
Cancer Clinic. Over 1900 gifts of
various sorts Of merchandise we're
raffed and auctioned of, and it
was found that by far the most
appealing and lucrative items were
purebred puppies! These were do
mated by various breeders interested
in this work.
The search for a sex determinant
Is still under way. William Meyer
hoff of this city, who breeds Staf-
fordShire terriers, thinks he has
the answer According to his eX-
periments, the feeding Of a COM
mercial brand of phosphate of cal
cium to the bitch before breeding
and during CESSATION will assure
a large proportion of male pups.
Scientific experiments conducted
not so long ago indicated there is
some basis for the belief that an
alkaline condition in the female
will tend toward the larger produc-
tior of males. while an acid con-
oition tends toward the production
OF more females. But since the
sex of the offspring is determined
at the time OF mating. it is not
easy to see what effect on sex
the continued feeding of phosphate
Of calcium during CESSATION will
have.
Aside from the problematical in
fuence on sex, feeding Of some
form of calcium during CESSATION,
1actation and to the pups during
the weaving period is often recon-
mended to supply the needed cal
cium for bone and teeth building.
