Life Conference In Jefferson
City, Mo.
Notable at the conference was the
almost complete absence of poll
tics and clashes of political opinion,
and the unity which marked the
thinking of those present.
AT earlier conferences, according
to observers, those who were inter-
ested in religious and missionary
questions formed one group; those
concerned with charity and social
service questions another, and those
with economic and strictly agrarian
questions, still another. This year.
however, all groups blended and
realized the close relationship of
the religious, social and economic
questions.
A marked tendency at the con-
ference was the dominance OF the
spiritual philosophy of the family
as the unit of society, and the part
that religion plays in creating
bond between the family, the COM
munity and the land
There was a strong sense. ex-
pressed everywhere and underlying
all the discussions, of the supreme
need and Importance of establishing
thoroughly sound democratic So
ciety from the grass roots up in the
face of the present world disorders.
Great impetus was given to this
years program by the Pentecost
1941 pronouncement of Pope Plus
XII, particularly by the emphasis
the Pope laid upon the land as sup
plying the vital space" to the fam
lily. Catholic leaders pointed out
that this conception was in sharp
contrast to the notorious misuse"
Of this phrase by the dictators.
Chief among the projects advo-
Gated by speakers as a means of
solving rural problems was a CO.
operative system to carry medical
aid to farm communities, increased
home ownership, and the more wide
spread use of co-operatives. Speakers
warned, however, against dependence
upon the Government for solution
of the Nations farm problems and
against land monopolies.
Also observed this week in St
Paul. Mimi, was Catholic Liturgical
week, sponsored by the Benedictine
Liturgical Conference.
The liturgical movement plays an
important role in the activities of
the Roman Catholic Church. 1t
aims to promote intelligent partici-
patton in the forms of prayer, acts
and ceremonies used in public and
official worship. At the st. Paul
meetings, papers were presented on
the mass, the priesthood, the sacra-
ments. liturgical art and music. the
family, social problems and peace.

Natures Children
Canary Grass
(Phalaris canariensis)
By Lillian Cos Athey.

An introduced grass that has es-
tablished itself in North America
from Nova Scotia to Ontario and
southwark to Virginia is canary
grass. 1t was first grown in this
country as the special food needed
for Gagged birds and also for making
a -four which was used as sizing in
cotton manufacture, known as
weavers' glue.
Like so many introduced plants,
this one has been making every
season count, and it has also been
spread rather extensively through
accidental mixture of its seeds with
the more important grasses. AS far
as forage for stock goes it is useless.
Canary grass is an annual and
propagates itself by seed 1t begins
to bloom in July and continues until
late August. BY August 1t begins
to set seeds and will keep on matur-
ing them until late September.
Birds, Gagged or free. are very fond OF
the seed-children of this plant and
help to establish the grass in new
localities because the seed consumers
have a habit of scattering the seeds
as they try to extract the food from
the shells, thus tossing out many
Of the unshelled ones.
The usual places to look for
canary grass are in gardens, along
roadsides and in waste places. The
culms, / to feet high, are erect,
usually simple, and sometimes
branched and smooth. The sheaths
are shorter than the internodes-
rough and loose, with rounded
ligules about l inch long. The
blades are from inches to II in
length and almost II inch wide,
fiat and very rough.
The spike is short, dense head
about an inch long and almost half
as thick. The fiattened one-f1ower-
ed Spikelets are crowded and over
tapping. The plant is pale green
and blends with shades of other
plants.
The seeds are smooth, oblong and
glossy. Some one has remarked
that canary grass seeds have been
responsible for coaxing more mice
into homes than any other bait.
Since mice have a very keen sense
Of smell and birds have a habit of
sowing these seeds all over the floor
of wherever the cage happens to be
placed. the thrifty little field mice
