RUSSIA:
Whut New Game?

World diplomats are wondering
what new game the Russians are
playing.
The first clue of a new Soviet
attitude was evident with the open
ing of the U. N. general assembly.
Andrei Y. Vishinsky, the Russian
foreign minister, and his colleagues
on the Soviet delegation we're af-
fable. Their speeches were almost
soothing, in comparison to what
they used to be. They were making
a deliberate show of reasonable
ness.
Later, Jacob A. Malik declared
he favored a meeting of top lead
ers of the U. S. and Russia to ne-
gotiate for peace. He said also his
government would pledge not to be
the first to use the atomic bomb.
He also favored general disarma-
ment.
Malik made his views known in
answer to questions submitted to
him by a Maryland committee for
peace. The Russians are always
careful In answering questions and
never do so unless the questions
have been cleared and approved.
With this thought In mind diplo-
mats were wondering could it be
possible the Soviet realizes what
a narrow escape the world has had
from a general war? Could 1t be
possible the Russians finally de-
sired peace or was this a propa-
ganda move?
The state department was in
clined to believe the latter. After
a hurried conference the depart
ment declared Malik's statements
were only propaganda.

CONGRESS:
Home for Elections

The 81st congress which will be
praised and condemned, according
to individual political views, came
to a dramatic pause with a fiibust-
er and a vote to override a presi-
Dental veto. The congress will re-
convene November 81.
The filibuster was unique in that
both supporters and opponents Of
the tough Communist control bill,
the issue In question. participated
In it.
First, six senators teamed up to
filbuster for 1914 hours against the
bill in the hope that popular opion-
ion and last-minute presidential ap-
peals might tip the scales in the
administrators favor.
Then, when the six finally gave
up, supporters of the bill continued
to talk until several advocates, in
Guiding Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio
could arrive for the final vote.
Among its sweeping provision. the
bill requires the registration of
Communists and Communist-front
organizations, authorizes the mass
roundup Of suspected subversives
in time Of war or national emergen-
cy and provides sitter penalties for
espionage and sabotage.
President Truman said he vetoed
the measure because:
I'D Aid potential enemies by re-
quiring publication Of a complete

ment and the FBI to waste "im-
mense amounts of time and energy

WAR-TAX BILL:
Congress Approves

Congress approved the SAT bill
lion emergency war-tax bill that
boosted taxes from IL to 20 per
cent or individual incomes.
It was significant that the senate
shouted its approval of the bill with
out a roll call and the house passed
it 1928 to even. And even while the
vote was still ringing in the two
chambers, the house ways and
means committee called a meeting
to begin drafting a second tax in
crease bill.
The two measures together could
boost taxes by S12 billion, to almost
$50 billion a year-higher than any
collections in World War II.

up of the orchard In the fall will
cut down in losses from disease
and insects. Ground sprays help to
clean up disease spores that are
ready to infect next years fruit
trees.
The experienced orchardist has
found that it is too risky to plant
fruit trees in the fall in Montana.
Fall planted trees, as a general
rule, cannot become sufficiently
established to withstand the rig
r of the first winter.
One would gain a lot a valuable
information by observing old es-
tablished orchards in various parts
of Montana. One of the chief les
sons we have learned was that
many of the pioneers planted their
trees too close together. It's hard
to visualize newly planted apple
trees thirty-six feet apart. Yet you
space them much closer, l would
say that you lacked faith in their
to grow in Montana!
Another observation in old Or
chards is the fact that many were
not pruned according to sound
practices. Following good pruning
practices right from the time they
are planted, develops strong, stur-
dy trees able to bear heavy crops
of fruit for many years. In fact,
it is the pruning practices followed
the first few years that de-
termine whether a good tree will
or not.

Fall Care Of the Orchard

One practice that is likely to be
detrimental in the family orchard
is fall pruning. Except for remov-
ing dead limbs, pruning at this
time of the year should be dis
couraged as much as possible.
Pruning in the fall leaves open
wounds. These wounds are left to
the drying action of winter
weather with frequent harmful eff
fects showing up the next year.
One injury caused by fall prun-
ing, is the death of the cambium
or healing tissue at the juncture
of the pruning cut. The dying
back as these places makes it i'm
possible for these pruning wounds
to heal over in the future.
One of the causes of winter kill
ing of fruit trees, is the fact that
they go into the winter in imma-
ture condition. Too much water,
whether by natural rainfall or ir-
rigation, during the latter part of
the growing season is responsible
for this. A constant water supply
cause the trees to keep on growing
right to the freeze-up. These trees
go into the winter in a "green"
condition and quickly succumb to
cold weather. The common effects
noticed are tip-killing or some
times even complete killing OF
trees. A dry period during the lat
ter part of the growing season re-
tards growth and develops hardi-
ness within the tree.
This does not NEAR to say that
trees should go into dormancy In a
dry state. Just when frosty
weather sets in, a thorough irrl-
cation aids in bringing trees
through the winter better.
1t pays to clean up the orchard
well in the fall. Insects and dis
which attack fruit trees ire
quently live over winter IN the
dropped fruit, fallen leaves, dead
limbs and other debris scattered

KOREA:
Three Bloody Months

After three bloody months the
war in Korea appeared near the
end with the capture of Seoul, 500
year-old Korean capital, and the
junction of U. N. troops FIR o m
the Inchon and Pusan beachheads.
The war seemed to be in the last
Of three stages. The first began
with the invasion of Communists
troops and their capture of Seoul
and the general retreat Of Ameri-
can and South Korean troops to the
narrow beachhead at Pusan.
The second was that period when
U. N. forces maintained their
beachhead while troops and weap-
n for an offensive were being
built up in Japan and near Pusan.
The third and final stage began
with the Inchon invasion and a
general attack from the north and
south to isolate the invaders below
the 38th parallel and thus destroy
them.
The breakout from the Pusan
beachhead came suddenly and in
force. Troops landed at Inchon
captured Seoul and headed south.
The two forces were within a few
miles Of each other at last reports
and thousands Of Communists were
doomed to isolation and d~estruc-
ton In the final phase of stage
three.
Military commanders were quick
to report that bloody fighting would
60 on for some time as hopping
up operations continued. They x
pected guerilla warfare In the noun
tains for a long time since many
units we're expected to
resist to the death.
One important question remained
unanswered. Will U. N. troops cross
the 38th parallel into North Korea?

Care Should Be
Given Strawberry Plants
Strawberries are a profitable
small fruit crop in the home
garden. Pay a little attention to
them this fall-that's good insur-
ance against a crop failure next
growing season.
A good snow cover is an excel
lent protection against the killing
of plants during winter. But some
things may happen to this natural
protection. 1t may not come till
after very sharp freezes this fall.
Or, there may be a thaw during
the winter forming a layer of ice
at ground level and thus destroy
ing the insulating value of the
snow Late spring frosts may oc-
cur after most of the snow has
left, which will destroy the plants
fruit blossoms.
1t has been found that mulch
ing strawberry plants with clean
straw, or similar materials, helps
to protect them over winter. But
don't use materials like leaves
which mat down too heavily.
Thanks to some experimental
work done in Minnesota a few
years back, we car now time our
mulching better, so that it will
give the maximum amount of pro-
lection. In early days one was
advised to mulch after the ground
was frozen, but that can be too
late. The experiments have shown
that the plant a be severely
d damaged if the temperature
around the crown of the plant
falls below Is to 20 degrees Fab
renheit.
On the other hand, applying the
mulch too early can be equally
detrimental. The plants need to
be subjected to a few frosty
in order to encourage GER
tain chemical changes in the
These few frosty nights
will cause chemical changes with
in the plant to make them more
resistant to temperatures below
freezing, but above the critical
level of 10 to 20 degrees Fahren-
nett. This process is sometimes
referred to as the hardening off"
One of the most noticeable
during this period is the
~reddening of the leaves.

Eyewitness
Tells OF
Terrible
Destruction

RIPLEY, Tenn. Feb. 13.-(R).
What sounded like freight train
roared through farming area
in west Tennessee today.
II was q tornado, a deadly
twister that cut 15O-foot path
of destruction for two OF three
miles before it lifted.
It left in its wake at least nine
dead. eight Of them members of
one family. three homes de-
molished, and several others
damaged.
The storm ripped out commune
cations, and it was hours before
word of the storm got out. Final
" a farmer, Chester Crowder,
drove five miles to the nearest
city Ripley. Tennessee.
The destruction was wrought
in the farm community of Hurri-
cane Hill. That's So miles north
of Memphis.
One of the first to reach the
scene was Sheriff William Nor
veil of Lauderdale County. He
drove through hard rain and
high winds to reach Hurricane
Hill.
And this is the picture he de-
scribes:
Three houses and all the trees
in the path of the twister were
on the ground. Some other houses
were blown off their blocks. A
lot Of others were unroofed." The
sheriff continues
"A lot of folks didn't know
anybody had been hurt. But it
shock houses and sounded like
a freight train coming to some
of them"
The home of Wilson Carroll
was swept away as the family
slept. Perhaps the eight members
who died never knew what hit
them. The ninth storm victim
was an unidentified Negro farm
woman.
The bodies of seven members
of the Carroll family were found
in the wreckage of their home,
scattered over 3O0-foot area,
amid fallen trees. The eighth
body was 800 feet away.
Four other people were hurt.
