Vegetables are generally group
ed or classified in one of three
ways: according to botanical
families, such as the lilly family
which includes onions, garlic, leek
and chives.
according to the plant used
for food, such as beets, carrots and
parsnips which are root crops.
And, according to the vege-
tables ability to withstand low
temperature.
This last grouping is probably
of greatest Importance to the
average gardener because it con-
Germs the survival and success of
his crops. According to their abili-
ty to Withstand low temperatures,
vegetables are classified as hardy,
half-hardy and tender.
The hardy vegetables are those
that will not be damaged by mod
crate to hard frost after they have
been planted. This gsoup includes
turnips, spinach, garden peas,
mustard, radishes, lettuce, cab
bage, kale, onions and endive.
The half-hardy vegetables are
those which thrive in cool weather
but are often severely damaged by
moderate frosts or even light
frosts after they are up. This
group includes beets, chard, car
rots, cauliflower, broccoli and eel
cry.
The tender vegetables are those
that will not withstand any frost
and will not grow at their best
until the weather gets quite warm
This group includes, snap beans
lima beans, tomatoes, peppers
eggplants, cucumbers, m e o S
squash, okra, New Zealand spin
ach and corn.
There is some variation in har-
diness within the groups and even
between varieties of the same crop
The black valentine variety of snap
bean is more hardy to cool tenn

The World Today

WASHINGTON R)--The presi-
dental campaign is beginning to
look like a variety store.
You can get an assortment of
main issues, problems and top
les.
If you don't like Gen. Eisenhow-
er's main" display, just step over
to Gov. Stevenson's counter.
There may be a little delay in
this department since the general
and the governor seem to shift
their stock around bit.
You'll notice that the general
appears to be a little freer in
picking main" issues than the
governor while, at the same time,
the governor, who is credited with
being extremely lucid, isn't alawys
lucid.
Eisenhower
June 6. He said the great issue
of the campaign is peace and Sc
curity.
Aug. 90 He said durable world
peace was the overriding issue.
Sept. 2. A slight change seemed
to be setting in, for he announced
corruption in government was the
Overriding moral issue in the
campaign"
Sept. 3. Returning to the peace
theme, he said the one gerat un-
derlying issue in the whole cam
paign is success or failure in devel-
oping a peace program.
Sept. A. He settled on corruption,
saying: Il have said and will say
again and again that there is only
one issue in this campaign. That
issue ). is the mess in Washing
ton."
Stevenson
Aug. 20. He said the transcend
ent problem before us and the
great unfinished business of our
generation is peace in the world"
Sept. g. He said, "the main issue
in the campaign is whether the
nation is going ahead with the
policies to solve the great political
complexities that confront our
country"
Sept. 9. He said foreign policy
is the most important topic for
the nation today"

WHOLE FLEET OF ROBOT
PLANES CAN NOW BE USED

TOKYO LR)-The man who di-
rected the firstiuse of guided mis-
ISLES in the Korean War said today
the Navy has Immediately avail
able enough missiles to mount a
sustained large-scale robot cam
paign in Korea"
1t. Comdr. Lawrence A. Kurtz
said missiles carrying atomic
bombs conceivably could hit any
target in the world.
Kurtz Commanded the 12-man
team which catapulted a pilotless
plane from the carrier USS Boxer
Sept. 1--then watched on teleyision
as the plane launched the age of
push-button warfare with strike
against a Communist target in
North Korea.
KurtZ told a news conference
continent to continent guided
missiles are possible" The Korean
test was the ''forerunner of what
probably will come"
The equipment used was rather
obsolete-we have better things
than this" he added.
These are some of the points
Kurtz made:
Robot planes can be re-fueled in
midair rigged to Strafe enemy
ground troops fire back at
attacking planes drop their
bombs and return to base. They
can be used as defense against
enemy guided missiles.
They can stand more violent
maneuvers than a pilot, thus are
more adept at lodging enemy
ground fire. None of the planes
used in Korea was knocked down
by Red ground fire, although most
of the targets were heavily pro-
jected.
The television used in guiding
and observing them has the same
limitations as commercial TV. But
waves beamed from high in the
air can travel long distances with
out interference.
1T is push-button warfare" and
very simple. The operator uses
only one finger to work the small
control stick guiding the missile.
The controller can destroy the
plane simply by pressing button.
The missile can be guided from
the control plane or the carrier.
A fleet of robots -Kurtz would
not say how many-could be con-
trolled by one plane.
Navy Hellcats are being used be-
cause they are obsolete and would
have been scrapped. But any plane
could be outfitted as drone very
quickly.

to hold up until the end of the
year at least.
The auto industry expects to
have its biggest week of the year
next week, when it plans to turn
out 98,822 cars and 25,859 trucks.
Although the great post-Korean
expansion of industrial plant and
equipment is scheduled to slough
off next year, builders report con-
tracts for heavy construction pro-
jects are still running ahead of a
year ago.
And they look for public con-
struction-schools, roads, hospitals
and the like-to step up as the
industrial expansion boom tapers
off.
Many home builders concede that
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1952-09-23

their construction boom--greatest
in history-is past its prime. Home
building this year probably will
drop below 100000, and the fed
eral reserve will be required by
law to drop its curbs on easy terms
of home mortgages. Many expect
the curbs to be dropped later this
month.
But many home builders are
still confident that for several
years to come the demand for
homes will keep building totals at
better than 100000 new homes a
year.
Orders for capital goods-tools
and machinery, airplanes and rail-
road equipment-are coming in
satisfactory volume, many manu-
facturers report And those doing
a defense job expect military or

keep flowing in good volume this
year and next.
fore a major speech on the SUBJ
ject in Kansas City, Mo.
Through his press secretary,
James Hagerty, Eisenhower de-
clined any comment on the Nixon
matter.
However, one of his advisers
who asked not to be quoted by
name, told reporters he regarded
the political implications as "mur-
der"
If this news was disappointing,
however, the announcement of
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina that he will vote for Eli
senhower was heartening.
Byrnes said in a statement in
Columbia, S. C., that he believes
Eisenhower is the man best quail
fled to "clean up the mess in
Washington and to keep the coun-
try out of another world war.
Byrnes criticized the position of
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois
on civil rights and other issues.
Eisenhower had no comment on
Byrnes' stand, but it was hailed
with glee in San Francisco by Re-
publican Cows. Earl Warren of
