tomato crop of most varieties was harvested, considerable damage was done to late tomato varieties still producing c large portion of this summers crop. By removing the leaves, the defoiiation disease re. duees the food-producing capacity of the plants, exposes the fruit to sun seald and results in poofiy- eolofed, insipid fruits, which are orange rather than red.
 Tn seasans when c normal amount of moisture is present, growers will do well to protect plants from this disease by planning to spray. Cops per sprays arc the most widely used material. Bordeaux mixture applied ct i0-day intervals will control the disease fairly satisfactorily. Tn Us ing Bordeaux. however, care should Do taken to delay the first appiicas ton until after most of the fruit is set about July 2S. Bordeaux sprays, applied before this time, tend to cause the blossoms to fail of and prevent tho fruit from set- ting. The proper proportions for Bordeaux mixture are four pounds Of copper suiphat0 and two pounds Of hydrated lime per 50 gallons Of water. Other copper sprays and dusts are somewhat less effective but easier to apply. FeFmate is c new material which, if available, will give equal to, or better, control than Bordeaux. Use FeFfnate ct two pounds per 100 gallons.
 The home gardener cafl partially solve the defoiiatiOn disease problem by growing two crops. The first can Do set in the garden May 20 to June iB. The second crop can De sown about June 1 directly in tie garden between the larger plants. Care should De taken not to aiiow the first crop to oyGrgFow the smaller second crop plants. Using this method the home gardener can have c minimum Of loss from ds. foiiation disease without the tfou. ble of spraying.

 Today, when the Allies need Q German underground, there Is anything left which deserves this name.
 Some antl-Nasis within the Reich are waiting to be liberated, but they do not intend to fight and die for their liberation.
 Overwhelmingly the Germans opposed to Hitler are not so much fighters as weary, diseontented and, above all, disappointed peo- pie. They are completely apa. thetic and thus are definitely of no use to the last all.out effort which the NaEis make, But neither will they be of great use to the Al. lies.
 There is absolutely no reason to believe that this remnant of an underground-Catholics, work CTS and others-will aid the Allies actively in bringing the war to c sudden end,
 There ere many reasons why there is no unified German resist anee against Hitlerism in Ger. many today. One of these rea- sons is the idiotie reaction of the largest German workers party at the time of HItlers rise to power -the German Social Democratic Workers Party, whose leaders be- lieved that they did not have to go underground and could eon- tinue mild opposition to Faseism in civilized form.
 Another reason can be found in the person of Heinrich Himmler, who over many years perfected the police system in Germany which made life for anybody op. posed to Hitlerlsm dangerous, If not impossible.
 STOOD ALONE
 We must also not forget that, up to the beginning of this war, Ger. man -Faseists inside Germany and their helpers outside Ger many stood alone. Even to the smallest degree they were unable to depend on the aid of other countries. Those who wrote and printed anti.Hitler pamphlets to be snnuggled into Germany were in constant danger of arrest for

Mode At Hearing

Testimony placing J. p. Lott.
charged with armed robbery. at
the bus station at the time of
the robbery was offered by the
defense at a preliminary hear
ing before Justice of the Peace
Kate Denny. Lott entered a plea
of not guilty to the charge, deny
ing that he was near the scene
at the time.
J.. c. Mccain, owner of the
store which was robbed. Mrs.
Mccain and their son, testified
for the state that although the
voice OF the masked robber who
had escaped with about $3.50 in
a sack sounded like that of
Lott no positive Identification was
made of the defendant. Other
state witnesses testified they saw
him in the vicinity of the store
near the time of the robbery.
Through error, the account of
the hearing which appeared in
the last issue of the paper inn
piled that Lott had been iden-
titled as the thief. This was not
the case and no such testimony
was brought out in the hearing.
Lott was bound over to the
grand jury and later was releas-
ed under $500 bond.
