Teaching Farmers

or the many reasons which may
be given for granting such aid,
there is one which should appeal
strongly to Western Europe. The
worlds population is growing at
a rate of one and a quarter per
cent per annum. Unless world pro-
duction grows even faster, there
will be a progressively greater
shortage of foodstuffs and raw
materials. This need not be. The
agricultural output Of the under
developed countries could be
doubled in twenty-five years II
only we could solve the problem
of educating their farmers to use
better seeds, and could make
available fertilizers, pesticides and
water This needs tremendous
effort, but 1t could be done.
Here in Britain we are already
feeling the impact of the failure of
production to keep up with grow
ing demand. Prices are rising
sharply against US, This year our
imports are to cost 100000, 900
pounds more than they did last
year, and prices will continue to
rise against us unless we put
great deal of money, thousands Of
millions Of pounds into ensuring
that production overseas keeps up
with the growth Of population.
In a country like the United
States. giving away money can be
supported only on moral grounds,
or by fear of Communism. But for
Britain, dependent on an inflow
OF food and materials from abroad
il is a condition of our own exis-
tence.
Time and Vision
The Report recognizes that in
present conditions the necessary
goods and services are largely alb
sorbed In rearmament. To or
ganize a United Nations agency,
and to prepare the projects it
would support must, however
take time. Even II the idea were
accepted this month It would be
another two years before money
began to flow substantially. What
we need now is the vision. The
rest will follow in time.

GAMBLING

Book Of Samuel does refer to a
practice of the young in COMPETE
tive target shooting with bow and

there were any boolxies around
taking bets on whether Reuben
or Simon would win. Maybe
they were like the story told Of
Bernard Baruch. He was once
asked if he was interested in rae
ing. ',Yes." he replied. II am In
terested in the human race"
Maybe the early Jews were
more interested in the human
race. I suppose in society where
everyone has his tract of ground
and is self-sufficient there isn't
the urge to make quick killing
to gain a fortune overnight. There
is no need for it. Security is
assured. ~.a
By the time Of the Talmud,
when the economic pattern had
become more distorted and COM
pick and much Of the early equal.
itY had vanished. gambling had
come into being. They were al
ready rolling the bones by then.
The Talmud mentions dice" and
pigeon races" and apparently
their devotees were not scarce.
Card playing among the Jews
of Spain apparently enjoyed quite
a vogue. By a strange freak of
history, it almost took on a re-
ligious significance. The Mar
ramos frequently brought cards
along with their Bibles and pray
er books to their places of wor-
ship. If the agents of the Inqui-
sition were seen approaching, the
Jews would quickly close their
prayer books and begin playing
cards.
But apparently there were many |
Sephardic Jews who used cards |
for other purposes than to shield
them in the observance Of their |
faith. Indeed one Of the most
famous Jewish scholars. q rabbi /!
and poet as well. Leon of Modena.
was well known as a gambler.
He was the type of man to whom
gambling IS a di-1ase.
He knew "A the arguments
against it. AS a matter of fact,
as a young man in his teens, he
had written a. tract against gamb-
ling which was something of an
international best seller. It was
translated into Spanish, French
and German. He wrote first-rate
Hebrew poetry and composed
first-rate Biblical commentaries,
but every now and then the gam
bling fever would seize him
and like a drunk and his bottle he
would flee to his cards. He was
brought to financial ruin by his
gambling and, finally. was ex-
communicated by 1.-THE Jewish
community. But he wrote a
learned religious essay proving
by Jewish law that they had no
right. to. pronounce the ban on
him and the excommunication
was rescinded.

rare times 1t is necessary to fasten
them in this way. Some will
plunge and struggle and yelp, in
panic stricken effort to get free,
or yank at the bonds until they
are half strangled. This would

Centuries ago. in Continental
Europe, the term, "a dogs life"
was coined. Few Americans can
understand why that phrase should
be used to describe endless hard
work and misery. For, here. the
average dog has a decidedly easy
time Of it. "A dogs life" is what
many a lazy human would like
to lead. But people from Flanders
and parts Of France. Switzerland
and other European regions can
understand.
They have seen dogs hitched to
heavy market wagons and forced
to drag such vehicles for miles.
They have seen patient, suffering
dogs hauling huge milk carts up
steep streets under a torrid sun.
They have seen them hitched to
cumbrous mill-wheels and to tread
mills; tasks which strain every
muscle and nerve. Too often, the
labor is accompanied by kicks and
beating and Is rewarded by under
feeding.

Mineral Oil Used
lon TobuccoCroD

Almost 100 per cent control OF
suckers on tobacco was obtained
by using mineral oil in tests at
the Chatham branch of Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station
last season.
E. M. Matthews. superintendent
of the branch. in giving this opti-
mistic report. said the use of min
eral oil will greatly reduce time
and labor spent in the tedious job
of suckering tobacco.
He also tried naphthalene acetic
acid, but found it less effective.
The acre yields and values were
larger on the mineral oil-treated
tobacco than for tobacco topped
at the same time and suckered
weekly by hand.
The oil must be applied lightly
to each plant using a pint for 400
to 500 plants. applied only to the
little broken top end Of stalk just
after topping. Too much oil will
cause damage.
The average return for five
years for tobacco topped and suck
cred was 1880 pounds and 1888
per acre; while tobacco neither
topped nor suckered produced only
1855 pounds and $670 per acre
Failing to top alone resulted in
a loss Of 1929 per acre. while fall
ing to sucker alone resulted In q
loss Of $75 per acre.
The unsuckered tobacco actual
ly averaged on the market about
p cent per pound higher sale
price than the leaf from the
topped and suckered tobacco. The
result was consistent with the ole
belt demand for thin bright leaf
Topping and suckering tends te
make the leaf from the top hall
Of the plant grow not only larger
but with more body weight anc
usually slightly darker.
Matthews says the practice o.
using mineral oil is not generally
recommended. More information
is needed and the tests will con.
;, tinue.

A little planning is just as i'm
portant indoors as it is out-of-
doris if we would have the great
est enjoyment from gardening.
Too often the window garden is
the recipient of a bit of this and
some of that, and the results are
just that. Window gardeners
should plan for a continuity OF
bloom, securing the needed plants.
bulbs and vines to create the de-
sired results. Part of this involves
the starting of seed and bulbs at
the proper season.
For instance, now is the time
to SOW seed of sweet alySSum for
January bloom. But. first, pot up
the Dutch bulbs for Towering in
late January, February and March.
Normally it is we'll to fill a num-
ber of pots with the early flower
ing early single and early double
tulips since they are more salts
factory indoors than are the
DawrwinS, cottage or breeder va
rieties. Place the potted bulbs in
a protected situation out-of-doors
where they will make good root
growth and be ready for Towering
when brought indoors. Normally
this takes 10 weeks but it may be
longer if they are not we'll rooted
before being brought in to heat
and moisture
At the same time the tulips are
potted, the indoor gardener may
wish to fill pot or two with daffo-
dis. King Alfred is the preferred
yellow trumpet. A pot of crocus
and perhaps one of grape hya-
cinths will also prove useful.
Narcissus for Christmas.
For earlier bloom the paper
white narcissus may be started
and be in flower by Christmas.
Later on a supply of prepared
lily-of -the-valley pips may be
started at intervals to provide
late winter bloom. They require
six weeks from starting to flower
There are other bulbs and
plants that may be started to sup
.plement the usual ones and the
plan should indicate the place or
time they are to fill in the window
garden.
There are the standard ever
boomers, which every window
garden employs, including the At
rican violets, begonias and geran-
iums. In addition. the window
garden needs and should have a
certain amount of greenery or
background. They may take the
form of ivy, philodendron, etc.
The gardener with a smaller
window will hardly be in position
to start all of the plants needed
for the various seasons and may
find it eXpedient to obtain potted
blooming plants from the florist.
Certainly much of the pleasure
will come from keeping the win
dow garden filled with healthy,

without too much effort. When
cleaned they should be busted
lightly with a DDT to control
thrips. After busting they should
be placed in shallow trays Gold
orange crates sawed in half and
placed in cool. dry situation. If
the cormels tbaby corms) are to
be saved they may be placed in
paper sacks-keep them labeled
and in a place where they will not
be overlooked at planting time
next March or April.
Clean the dahlia and tomato
stakes and paint with a preserva-
tive before storing for the winter.
This coating at this season is more
effective than If applied in the
spring just before using-the ma
terial can soak into the wood and
will kill any rot that may be
working on the wood.
Now is a good time to paint
steel fence posts. Brush them with
a good steel brush to remove faxed
paint and rust, then paint with a
metal paint. Red lead and linseed
oil will do for an undercoat, al
though the prepared metal paints
may be used directly on the
cleaned surface. This may sound
like an unnecessary chore but ii
will double the life Of the posts
Without this care the tops will
rust in 10 or IL years.
Mulch pansy plants with we'll
rotted manure or enriched COM
post. they are gross feeders and
need this extra care. The mulch
lis best applied before the ground
freezes. Avoid covering the leaves.
The removal Of the dead tops
of perennials is often recon-
mended but many Of us prefer to
leave them until spring. They
catch andahold the leaves and do
not permit them to pack down.

Calf Vaccination

The practice Of calfhood vacci-
nation to stamp out Bangs disease

r. G. Connolly. dairy husband
man at VPI. says some 2,542 calves
were vaccinated in August, the last
month for which figures are avail
able, and that the money set aside
by the State to pay for the pro-
gram is being used up rapidly.
The vaccination program is
sponsored by the State Division of
Animal Industry.

This Week in the Garden

An unreasonable freeze cut the
blooming period of many rose
bushes just when they were at
the height of bloom. This has
turned the attention of some rose
lobbyists to those which can take
cold weather. Surprisingly. two
rose growers mentioned Mission
Gold as being able to take a light
freeze. Many of the floribundas,
while losing opened flowers, came
right back and buds opened a few
days after freeze.
Bulb planting is still occupying
the attention of many gardeners.
This Is one job that can go on
until mid-December, although
earlier planting is usually recon-
mended. However, the Dutch iris
are likely to give the best results
If planting is delayed until De-
cember. Early planted bulbs make
early root growth and If the winter
is unusually severe do better than
late-planted bulbs, but in a mild
winter they sometimes have their
foliage injured because they make
some growth above ground. This
has been reported this season.
