BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 10 up -
School bells are stilled in hundreds
of Idaho communities this month,
but youngsters are getting rest
only from lessons, not work.
Alongside farmers and city folk,
butchers, bakers and real estate
agents, they are helping harvest
Idaho's 100000 tons of sugar beets
and Is, 1855 900 bushels of potatoes.
Last year, the State Department
of Education estimates, students
earned more than one million dol
lars during the harvest. This year
their earnings are expected to 60
higher.
Getting in Idaho's two major
crops is a job for all hands. Jap.
anese Americans from relocation
camps, Mexican Nationals, South
ern farmers and few Jamaicans
have replaced the transient field
worker of a few years back, but
there aren't enough of them to do
the job in the few short weeks be-
tween maturing of crops and snow
fall.

APPLE FREES CAN
SELECTED NOW
Varieties For November
Planting Should Be
Chosen This Month

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Oct. 10-Varieties of apple trees
desired on the farm should be
chosen and secured now for plant
ing in November, says c. F. Van
Deman, hort1culturist in charge
of the apple laboratory of the
agricultural experiment station at
State college.
AS soon as possible after they
are chosen, orders should be plac.
ed with a reliable nurseryman,
stating clearly when the trees arc
to be delivered.
In choosing the varieties to
plant, many things must be taken
into consideration, Van Deman
says. In an orchard for home use
and local market, varieties that
ripen at different times should he
selected.
Some varieties, such as Stay
man Winesap, are more resistant
to apple scab and other diseases.
The Red Delicious is very sus-
ceptible to scab, and Golden De-
licious to bitter rot. In a COM
mercial orchard, however, all dis
eases can be kept under control
by the proper amount of spray
ing, the horticulturist says.
There are number of newer
varieties that have proven better
than some of the older ones. OF
these, one Of the earliest is the
Close apple. Another is the Lodi.
an improvement on the Yellow
Transparent. Also. the Eearly Nc
1ntosh and Bella are promising
early red apples Of good quality
for home use and local market.
The double red strains of sew
era1 varieties are improvements
over the regular ones also accord
ing to the horticulturist. Some Of
these are Richared, Stalking, Shot
well Delicious, Staymared and
Blaxtayman. The Gallia Beauty is
an improvement on the old Rome
Beauty and another variety worthy
Of trial is the Turley. This apple
ripens along with the Stayman,
which it resembles. 1t has bet
ter color, however, and the fruit
grows larger and does not crack
as the Stayman often does. Also.
the Red Winesap and it younger
brother. the Paragon, are among
the best keeping winter apples,
Van Deman concludes.

French Guerrilla Leaders
Rejoice In Strange
Applications

MADRID, Oct. 10-(P)-The two
most famous guerrilla leaders in
France rejoice in the remarkable
names of La Barbe and Lame de
Rasoir-beard and razor blade.
Each commands more than 200
men of an estimated 30, 900 guerril-
las who are aow armed and or
ganized in four zones, a former
leader said today.
This man, who headed bands in
several regions, gave the first
complete picture to reach here of
the discipline and organization of
the guerrillas.
Organized in groups ranging
from 20 to 200 men, each group
commands an area.
There are four zones, the largest
of which is the Alpine zone where
it is estimated there are 400 arm
ed Frenchmen, about half of whom
are in Haute Savoie.
This zone also is alive with about
5000 disbanded Italian soldiers who
have large quantities of supplies
from their army stores.
The second strongest guerrilla
zone is in Massif Central, par.icul-
arly in the mountains of the Plat
eau de Milleache, where there are
about 5000 guerrillas.

SWEET POTATOES
MUST HAVE CARE
ITubers Will Not Keep As
Well As Some Root
Crops In State

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Oct. 1o-sweet potatoes are not so
easy to keep as some root crops,
and gardeners who have grown
them this year for use later IN
the winter, must understand Just
how to handle them, according to
]. G.. Weaver, horticulturist with
the State college experiment sta
ton.
To keep. yams in good condi-
ton. he says, they must be well
matured before digging, handled
carefully, well cured and kept at
uniform temperature in storage.
They may be left in the ground
until the first light frost. then,
with a hoe or special implement,
the vines should be cut off at
ground level. Dig and allow them
to dry for few hours. When the
surfaces of all potatoes are good
and dry, they are ready to be
cured. This requires more atten'
ton than ordinary storage, Weav-
err says. The ideal set-up is to keep
them in ventilated room that can
be heated to 80 or 80 degrees Fab
Fgenheit. The temperature should
he gradually raised to 80 or 81
degrees over a period Of two to
three weeks. After curing, they
are to be stored at temperature
of SIS degrees Fahrenheit.
Growers who have a few bush.
els only won't want to go to all
this trouble. For them, Weaver
says, be sure the yams are dry,
store them near a furnace in the
basement, on a shelf near the
kitchen stove, near the chimney on
the second floor, or even near
the chimney in the attic.
There is a tremendous loss every
wear due to rotting of yams, Weav-
err says. However, if growers will
observe the points of proper stor-
age and curing, they will reduce
their losses to minimum and
have sweet potatoes all winter

He seeded a bushel and a half

In addition to the small grain. he
also seeded IS pounds of Italian

Today, Goodman says, Estes has
an excellent stand of the grain,

his land. Estes advice for good
pastureland is to seed heavily,
correct the lime deficiencies and
to add phosphate.
Goodman says further proof of
the value of that advice, is in
Estes soybean field. Previously,
the soybeans the farmer raised

mystery of language was revealed
to that little girl. 1t flashed into her
mind that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the
wonderful cool something that was
flowing over her hand. She says,
That living word awakened my

blossom for her as she said, like
Aaron's rod, with flowers" For the
first time in her life she went to bed
happy and longing for the new day
to come.
Words are power, words are
weapons. Wars are won and lost
with words, phrases, battle cries. For
all that science contributes and in
custry produces, the final issue rests
with morals. Morale is built or de-
stroyed with words. am very sure
that it is literally true that the most
important single fact in the history
Of the war to date has been the elo-
quence of Churchill. Without his
voice, his command of the spoken
and the written word, 1t would have
gone Ill with Britain and with the
cause of the United Nations. Some
one has said of forceful character
in novel, words never fell out of
his mouth. He drove them out, and
put his whole body behind them"
Well, Winston Churchill drives out
his words and puts his soul, and the
soul of his people, behind them.
The evidence accumulates as to
the tragic fate of the Jews and
Poles of Eastern Europe. 1t seems
impossible for the mind to conceive
the brutal savagery with which the
Nazis have pursued their relentless
persecution and slaughter on the
eastern marches of Europe. One re-
port l read of the Polish tragedy
had something which bore on this
same question of the power of words.
1t is said that tens and hundreds of
thousands of Poles have been up
rooted and shipped like cattle across
the country, AS a matter of fact
these people are given far less care
than cattle. They are packed stand
ing, without medical attention, shell
ter, and in some cases, for long Pc
RODS have to go without either food
or water. And here is the evidence
that bears on our theme. In those
cars where some brave spirits sing
and talk of Poland the majority of
the people survive. In the cars where
no one speaks and no one sings, they
die. In the hour of extremity words
mean life or death. Poland will live
so long as men speak and sing in
the Polish tongue. When the words
of Poland are lost all Is lost. 1t was
because the Jews learned to sing
the songs of Zion even in the strange
land of Babylon that Judaism sur
vived. The ten northern tribes of
Israel we're lost not because they
lost the battle and the siege but be-
cause they lost the word and the
song.
