TN A RULING which may have
far reaching re cussions.
Speaker Sam Rayburn of the house
of representatives has barred tele-
vision and radio broadcasts of the
proceedings of house committee
hearings. Since the speakers word
is final in Interpreting house rules,
unless overruled by majority vote
OF the house itself, it is likely that
his decision will stand for this ses-
sion of the congress.
Republicans in the house led by
minority leader Joseph w. Martin.
Jr., and Congressman Paul w. Sha-
fer of Michigan, Immediately
charged the speaker with admins
tration censorship
The speaker told newsmen his
ruling applied not only to live
radio and TV coverage of hearings
but to tape recordings, TV filming
and newsreel coverage as well, but
not to "stilP' news photographs.
While the speakers ruling does
not affect the senate, last week
Senator Herman Welker, Repub-
hcan, Idaho, freshman senator
and a member of the senate crime
committee which has been investi-
eating crime in the District of Co.
lumbla, fired broadcast at his
colleagues for making 'sspec-
tacle" of the proceedings of the
senate committees, and violating
the civil rights and the rights of
privacy Of witnesses before these
committees.
After charging that the senate
probe committees had no rules of
demeanor and were governed by no
rules OF law, that they admitted
hearsay evidence and conclusion of
witnesses in violation of all the
rules of jurisprudence, that the wit
nesses were subject to the whims
of the senator's on the committees
invading the constitutional rights of
citizens, Senator We1ker said: 81
say there has been too much mug
ging on the part of many senators
who have enjoyed this limelight of
being on the television and before
the radio audience. and 1 say it is
about time to get back to funda-
mental justice, and decency, and
get some courtroom judicial de-
meanor into this matter

those dried out in air and sunshine.
For this reason it's advisable to
use a bluing, even if slight, as it
will counterfeit yellowness.
Bleach should be added to the
white cottons when washing SO they
do not turn gray. Always use the
amount directed on the package or
bottle, as too much may prove too
strong and thus cause the clothes
to fall apart.
Quick starches are valuable, too,
in making the clothes crisp. Use
bottled type which is always ready
or an instant type which just needs
stirring into the water.
Rinsing is as important as wash
ing, whether it's done as part of
the big laundry or in a wash basin.
Two or three rinseS are essential,
and the water should be the same
temperature as that used for ac-
tual washing.

STATE COLLEGE, Miss. - High
rates of fertilizer and good man
agement are necessary to the sue
cessful production of grazing and
hay from Coastal Bermuda grass,
according to w. R. Thompson, Ex-
tension agronomist.
This grass, bred and developed
by DR.. Glenn Burton of Triton, Ca,
will grow in southern areas where
common Bermuda grows well, Mr..
Thompson stated.
At the Agricultural Experiment
Station in Triton, Ca, Coastal Ber-
muda, fertilized with 200 pounds of
nitrogen to the acre. will carry an
average of three and a half cows
to the acre. With no fertilizer, it
will carry only one-tenth cow to
the acre
Other Georgia tests showed that
Coastal Bermuda, properly fertiliz-
ed and managed made from 400
to 800 pounds of beef to the acre,
depending on the nitrogen applied.
1t only made go pounds with no
nitrogen.
Coastal Bermuda, if properly
managed, can use up to 400 pounds
of pure nitrogen per acre per year
and will make up to seven tons of
good grass hay to the acre." the
pasture specialist stated where no
nitrogen is used, only one ton of
hay resulted"
Grassland farmers interested in
establishing Coastal Bermuda on
their farms should set sprigs about
three feet apart on &c. to 4O-inch

THE WORLD HAS torn up the
rules, and the world simply is
not getting away with it.
Current books, magazines and
newspapers reflect growing
public consciousness that we are
suffering from an epidemic aban-
donment of truth, honor, and
duty; from spreading practice
of sacrificing principle to exped-
iency; from the extensive prob
lens of juvenile and parental de-
linquency, drunkenness, narcotic
addiction, sexual perversion,
crime and insanity.
And we recognize these things
as symptoms. Symptoms of what?
Of what we call the decline of
morality? Or is that only a
symptom itself and does the sick
ness lie deeper? Of the worlds
denial of the doctrine of good and
evil? Or deeper yet?
WHATEVER THEY are symp-
toms of, the fact is that at home
and abroad we are faced with a
dozen sinister problems. But
why all these at once? The an
swer is that they have not hap
pened all at once. Sociologists,
historians, and philosophers are
agreed that all have been build
ing up, not too subtly, for a long
time. And they suspect that the
fault is in man himself; that
something must have happened
in his heart.
This is a fearful suggestion,
likely to tingle at the roots of the
hair. Yet, since it implies that
all these problems are in reality
a single problem, it simplifies
our dilemma if we will but accept
it. Instead, we attack each prob
lem separately and as if it bore
no relation to any Of the others,
Desperately we use our pitiful

ARE YOU AGING?

Someone has written about age
We are as young as our faith.
AS old as our doubt,
AS young as our self-confdence.
AS old as our fear,
AS young as our hope,
AS old as our despair.
In the light of these assertions
how old are YOU? Old age is in
evitable. Therefore it should be met
with dignity and simple common
sense. Old age is rich with COM
pensations. Ripened Judgment

osophy of life, leisure for reading
and quiet thinking and for the en-
joyment of children a I'd grand
children.
Science today has developed SO
many things to help us grow old
happily. The automobile for drives
in the country, the radio and tele-
vision that bring to our homes the
activities of the four corners of
the world. 1t is our duty to make
the most of all these things. DIR.
Charles H. Mayo not long ago ques-
toned the wisdom of frightening
the years of human life without
doing something about prolonging
the interests of our minds. He said /:
1.-THE mind must be treated with the
same rules of care and exercise as
the body. New interests, continued
education and variety will keep the
brain up to the pace set by the fine
and durable bodies with which sci
ence now endows even the aged"
Let us keep the spirit of youth.
Some of the most charming people
l have ever met have been people
who have reached the age of white
hair and slower steps. But their
personalities sparkled with wit -
they were so well read that an hour
OF conversation with them resulted
in new funds of knowledge and a
new appreciation Of some of the
fine books of the ages. Their minds
were bright with constructive phil
osophies and history and poetry.
They had a knowledge of and love
for good music, an appreciation of
nature and supreme happiness
because of all the joys life had Civ
en- to them thru the years. People
who are growing old beautifully
are an inspiration to childhood and
to youth! They are playmates and
companions, wise counsellors and
understanding friends. And what
need childhood and youth have for
just these things.

Fruits rots, caused by botrytis
and other molds, cause serious
losses to strawberry growers in
Maryland, according to Extension
plant Psychologists at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
Fruit rot organisms attack rip
enlng fruit, especially in wet and
/ oudy weather. Any condition
which prevents the berries from
drying favors the development of
the fungi. Heavy foliage offers a
favorable environment for the rot
causing fungi if rain occurs at the
time OF fruit development. Late
spring frosts that injure the bios
SONS may be responsible for the
start of trouble, the Psychologists
say. The fungi develop on the
dead blossoms or fruit and later
spread to ripening fruit.
The plant Psychologists report
that there is some evidence that
fungicides sprayed on the plants
will reduce loss from fruit rots.
One material that is now available,
ferbam, sold as Fermate, etc.,
seems to be promising.
Workers indicate that at the first
appearance of bloom, application
should be made and spraying should
be repeated two or three times at
lO-day intervals. To prepare spray
Tor one acre use 2 pounds of the
ferbam fungicide to 100 gallons of
water. Home growers can use l

March Is, the latest date for which
figures are available, one dozen OF
eggs would buy S.5 pounds of feed
SIX months ago the ratio stood at
14.1.
A seasonal decrease in the egg
feed ratio is usual for the spring
but this year the drop is greater
than usual, points out W. H. Rice,
Extension poultryman at the Uni
versity of Maryland. He reports
that marketing of laying flocks is
heavier than usual. Fowl prices
are down. Purchase of chicks for
laying flocks is running 5 to s per-
cent behind last year."
From this pattern of events it
looks like ratio for producer will
be more favorable in the summer,
especially if a large grain crop is
harvested"
Meanwhile, here are the Extern
sion poultryman's recommended
tons to secure efficient production:
Gun layers hard. Keep egg
production at 60 percent or above
oy frequent, close culling.
Buy high producing chicks in
time for early fall production.
Look for chicks with early ma
turity, high rate of lay, no broody
tendencies, high persisting in lay
ing and late noting qualities.
Cut feed costs. Using high
producing tlocks is the best bet.
other ways are to kill rats, fill
hoppers only % full, prevent feed
splllage and use good poultry pas
ture.
Save labor. Aids are built-up
litter, large pens of 500 or more
layers, automatic feeding and
watering equipment, good building
arrangement and community nests.
Keep all-pullet flocks. This
will give you high rate of lay
at the time of the year when egg
prices are highest"
Granular cyanamid can be used
to control weeds in asparagus and
peas, research by the University of
Maryland shows. The cyanamid
also boosts yields.
DR.. Francis c. Stark, professor
of horticulture, and Edward X.

vegetable crops, report on the use
of granular cyanamid for weed
control in Miscellaneous Publica-
ton 116, "Weed Control Expert
ments with Canning Peas and Spin
ach," and Weed Control and Care
Of Asparagus"
When first applied in the pre-
sence of moisture, cyanamid is
toxic to terminating weed seeds
and the roots or foliage of the
plants it touches. Large seeded or
rooted plants such as peas and
asparagus are planted deep en-
ough to be protected from the tox-
lcity of the chemical, and are not
injured by the cyanamid applied
at recommended rates.
Chemical changes result in the
conversion of the nitrogen confined
