BOxWOOD HUNT PROVIDES
~ VARIETIES

Ohioans in every section ; he
state are helping Victor Rics find
hardy evergreen lockwood.
Last year the extension flori-
culturist at Ohio State University
asked Ohio gardeners to send him
cutting of their hardy boxwoods.
To date, he has received cuttings
from old established plants in the
following counties: Williams, De-
fiance, Sandusky, Ottawa, Eric,
Cuyahoga, Wayne, Knox. Athens,
Champaign, Miami, Preble, Law
renee, Butler, Shelby, Hamilton,
Franklin, Hardin and from Ithaca,
New York.
He says "a different plants are
represented in the collection, and
he hopes to have more than loo
strains when the search is COM
pleted. This collection will be es-
tablished at the Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
Although it is too late to take
cuttings this spring, Ries suggests
that gardeners keep on the search
for old lockwood strains that have
been growing 25 years or more.

Warns Ohioans
Of Mushrooms

A warning to Ohioans against
the eating of poisonous mush
rooms was issued Tuesday by l.
c. Hoffman, horticulturist of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The most dangerous variety,
according to Hoffman, is the False
Morel. This type of mushroom can
be distinguished by its brain
like" appearance and its bay-red
cap, two or three inches in diam
eter. The stem is normally from
two TO 21a inches long, stout
slightly curved and white.
If eaten, Fa,ce Morel some.
times results in death, but more
often causes its victim to bcco...e
i'll for several days.

crop yields on more level fields.
This reduces the need for growing
clean cultivated row crops on slop-
ing fields, where soil erosion takes
q heavy toll.
''5-By improving our soil fertil-
ity, we make it possible to grow
more crops on fewer acres, thus
releasing more land for forestry,
wiIdlife and recreation.
"6-Increased crop yields from
soils of higher fertility increases
the farmers income. This, in turn,
provides the farmer with money
for installing terraces, grass water
ways, gulley control and other con-
servation practices.
With such a program we not
only save our soils but give strong
aid to the conservation o: other re-
sources-forests, wildlife and peo-
ple," he concluded.

70 UILDING soil fertility is the key
II to soil conservation, declared
Prof. Emil Truog, chairman of the
soils department of the University
Of Wisconsin.
Keeping our soils high in min
eral nutrients works six ways to
conserve our soils and protect them
from erosion" he declared:
High soil fertility produces a
heavier plant growth that protects
soil from washing and blowing.
2-Heavier plant growth uses
more wcter from the land. This al
lows the soil to absorb more rain
fall, thereby reducing soil and wa
ter losses caused by runoff.
'3--Fertile soil is in better phys
tcal shape to take in water from
rainfall. Thus more is stored up for
crops and less runs off.

He recommends treating non-

Cincinnati Enquirer)


 With the appearance of Volume of 'The Papers of Thomas Jefferson" enormous editorial projec has been inaugurated The undertaking will run te 50 volumes will require dozen years to complete anc cost $1 million or Much of the credit goes tc the Princeton University Press which is issuing the series under it's imprint, and to Julian Boyd Prince tons librarian who conceived the idea of the col lection But the project really is cooperative one on a nonprofit basis, with many assisting hands. It is almost national enterprise. The editorial end of it has been made possible by magnanlmous gilt of $20OOOO by the New York Times Company
 The question may be raised as to why a company which owns newspaper should be interested in such an undertaking. As has been pointed out by one of the reviewers of Volume l. the late Adolph s. Ochs of the New York Times "by example of responsible press enlarged and fortified the Jefferson concept of free press' It is to Adolph Ochs that the series appropriately is dedicated. ''
 American newspapers are indebted to Thomas Jef- ferson to a far greater extent than they realize. He was the person who in 1900 wrote: T have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny the mind of man." A free press which he to advocate, remains a safe guard against such tyranny.

lclearly favorable to Soviet Russia particularly as it relates to the re- ! lopening of the question of atomic weapons on a basis other than the Baruch report. Lie wants Nation- dist China expelled from the Uni | ted Nations, its place to be taken l by Soviet China, whose policy is completely controlled by Soviet Russia. Dean Acheson has, with wisdom, rejected this position, all though he must now be overem- phatic to make up for his previous errors in relationship to China. Lies activities on behalf of the Russian peace offensive are un- fortunate at this time, as they raise the question of the role of the Secretary General of the Uni- ted Nations. Article 99 of the charter empowers him to play only this role:
 ''The Secretary General may bring to the attention of the secur- ity council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the main tenance of international peace and security"
 Nowhere in the charter is he authorized to travel from nation to nation, negotiating, lobbying, trying ito force issues, or to engage in proragandistic efforts among the American people to influence them concerning the policies of their own government.
 Secretary of State Dean Acheson summarized the peace offensive in these words.
 We mean that the Soviet au- thorities would use, and gladly use, any means at their command to weaken and to harm us. Although they have not thought it wise to use military force against us, they are trying other methods. One method is the attempt to confuse and divide the American people They have another objective, which is to pick off members of the free community of nations one by one .'
 The present peace offensive Is not designed to give the world. peace. It is designed to lull the world into the acceptance of Soviet victory.

THESE DAYS GEORGE F.. SOKOLSKY
THE PEACE OFFENSIVE

Peace Offensive is curious term to use in times of peace, but then we are living in an unusual age. Therefore, the peace offens- i've which Soviet Russia is now waging against the United States and Western Europe is not only paradoxical in language but in its historical nature
 Peace offensives are usually con- ducted toward the end of a war when one of the belligerents de- sires to terminate hoStilities with such advantages which may still be hargainable. Often a third pa-- ty intervenes during a peace of- fensive. In the past two wars, the Pope made several attempts to end the holocaust, and it has not been unusual for the Scandinavian coun- tries of offer their good offices. War seems to be so futile an in-
