LONDON. Nov. 19.-Dr. Otto
Dibelius. the Evangelical bishop
Of Berlin. accused the Russians
today Of turning Eastern Germany
into slave labor camp whose vic
tins are crushed in body and
spirit.
He declared that in the uran-
ium mines of Saxony-a source of
material for RuSsian-made atom
bombs-tens of thousands of
workers are compelled to toll
under moral and hygenic condi-
tions which are appalling"
In a sermon to the British In
dustrial Christian Fellowship, DR..
Dibelius declared:
In the countryside the farmer
must fulfill his delivery quota. If
he fails to do so. his land is taken
away from him. and he may be
arrested for sabotage as well.
Z Every one groanS under this
yoke. In one small district more
than 80 farmers have committee
suicide.
What does that matter? Work
, is the only thing that counts.
But no good future can arise from
such work done without freedom. >"
DR.. Dibelius said the world
must rely on Gods mercy" to
ward off an atomic war which
might end all human effort and
life.
Fear of such a conflict, he
added. is strongest of all in Ger
many, where the armed forces of
the Western allies and Commu-
mist Russia are face to face.

Prussian, was arrested three times

aged to get out yet are waiting in
the field for our friends who
manage to see us on the Sunday

1t is a lot more convenient, I
suppose, to live in the city and be
able to go down to the corner and
buy your tree. But nothing can
quite equal the tree that you have
selected in the field. cut down
with your own ak and dragged into
the house.
The selection Of the christmas
tree should be a ceremonial affair.
You can't just 60 out in the fields
and cut the first tree you see. Oh,

that.

Then you look at it a second

There is bound to be a better

Delta Bluegrass
Tests Inferior

Delta bluegrass has been pro-
NOTED as a substitute for the
scarce and high-priced Merton
bluegrass. An article in the USGA
Journal indicates, however. that
1t has very little, if any, advantage
over commercial Kentucky blue
grass and also is lacking in re-
sistance to the leaf spot diseases
that it is not comparable to
Merton bluegrass.
This is substantiated by tests in
Rhode Island in which the COM
parative merits of the three
grasses, commercial Kentucky
Delta and Merton bluegrasses
were evaluated according to the
1nfestation of crabgrass during
the seasons growth. Only 6 pei
cent Of the Merton bluegrass area

Winter Pruning
OF Shrubs Advised

I Winter pruning will mean more
vigorous shrubs in your yard next
season.
A. S. Beecher, associate horti-
culturist at VPI, says dead wooo
can be taken out of trees now
Prune limbs off flush so the wound
will heal over. If you leave stub
the wound won't heal and fungus
will enter the tree.
Don't top a tree-that is, cut a
large limb off fiat at the top. The
cut will never heal and rot will
start down the tree. Beecher says
a tree that needs topping might
be taken out completely. Winter
is a good time to do it.
Don't trim evergreenS now. They
respond better to spring pruning.
Shrubs such as lilacs. Spirea
highbush cranberry and honey
suckle can be pruned this winter
Bridal wreath, honeysuckle and
privet can stand a severe pruning
The plants can be cut off at
ground level and they will regrow
the following season. If you're not
taking off the entire bush, cut out
old large canes from the ground
Leave tops of the shrub as much
as possible. New growth starts
where you make a cut and top
cutting produces messy growth.
Prune lilacS with a little more
care. Take out one-fourth to one
third of the old wood down near
the base and head some of the
longer branches back. Repeat for
about three or four years.

Gardeners Should
Purchase Their Seed
From Reliable Firms

. Pleasure or disappointment may
be determined when you buy youl
seed. Although good seed, true tt
name and variety, is only one oi
the contributing factors to these
results, it is a very important one
In 1851, 56 strains and sources
of caulif1ower were tested at the
Long Island Vegetable Research
Farm and results emphasize that
the variety situation is not at all
clear. Differences in head color
shape, solidity and time of matur-
Iity occurred even within strains.
There is only one lesson to learn
from information of this kind
With so much depending upon the
seed it pays to buy the best seed
and this is not always the most
Expensive in cost per packet.
Most States have laws and reg
IulationS governing the qualities
Iof vegetable and field seeds Of
Ifered for sale, but none have reg
ulations for flower seeds.
State seed enforcement agen-
cies in their annual reports show
that certain firms consistently
package and sell dependable
seeds, while a few fail to meet
even the minimum requirements.
Unless the gardener knows
from experience that the seed be-
ing purchased is from a depend
able firm he should seek advice
from some one who has expert
'ence or. try it on an experimental
basis.

of their color and season of bloom
we call Christmas plants. Be sure
to have one or two on hand for

House plants are usually ne

In drying the plants afterwards,

To keep the house plants grow

fertilizer to the water every week

after a watering so that the plants

Christmas Plants
By Observing Their Habits, Seasonal Flowers
May Be Kept Growing Long Time
By W. H. Younemon
= 10.

There are number of plants
whose Towering season comes at
this time of the year and which
we have come to call Christmas
plants. They include the Jerusa-
lem cherry. poinsettia, cyclamen,
and Christmas cactus. but there
are several others, notably the
Christmas begonia. azaleaS and
the exotic anthuriumS as we'll as

and all want an ample supply of
moisture if they are to continue
In good vigor and bloom.
The poinsettia which you pur-
chase in full bloom. needs ample
supplies of moisture. a draft-free
situation and sunlight. A chilling
breeze will cause the foliage to
drop. Too dry an atmosphere is
equally discouraging to the poin-
settia. When well situated the
poinSettia will continue in full
leaf and the brightly colored
(bracts) tops will add to the sea-
sons spirit. When the plant has
dropped its leaves turn the pot
on its side under the laundry tubs
or some other place in the base
ment where it will not become
bone dry. In the spring May
cut off the dried stems and place
the pot in a protected situation
in the garden to grow new top.
The Jerusalem cherry is a
member of the pepper family,
which means that it wants plenty
of moisture and moderate warmth,
but not too dry an atmosphere.
In a hot. dry situation the fruit
will drop discouragingly soon. In
a cooler, more favorable growing
situation. that is draft free, the
fruit will persist until February
Or March, but that is the max
imum. After the leaves fall the
plant should be put away, as was
the poinSettia until warm weather,
when it may be repotted and the
pot plunged into a protected sit
uation in the garden.
Cyclamen Is Cool Plant.
The familiar cyclamen is a
cool. moist weather plant, and
While we all enjoy them it is not
reasonable to think that We can
keep them thriving and blooming
in a house with dry air and high
temperatures. But We can enjoy
the cyclamen indoors if we will
park it in a cool. moist situation
when not needed indoors. The
Cyclamen thriveS in tempera-
ture in the SOS if it is moist, and
requires about two hours sunshine
a day. An inclosed porch that is
frost free is ideal.
After Towering, the cyclamen
may be continued in growth until
perhaps April. when by gradually
Withholding water the plant is

situation out of doors. given water
once every two or three weeks and
in August, when the new shoots
appear. it is fed and watered to
stimulate growth. However, be-
cause of disease and insect prob

a long period in darkness and cole
while they make roots. Simply
place the pipS in a container anc
hold them in place with whatever
material you choose. Add water
and keep the roots wet. A warm
situation will bring them along
faster than a cool one Three
weeks is the average period from
start until Towering begins, but ir
temperatures around 10 it will take
4 weeks.
If the amaryllis has had period
of dormancy, it can be brought
out and given a good watering
just one watering before the new
growth appears. After the fresh
green shoot appears, water regu-
larly and well. adding liquid fer
tilizer to the water every week OF
two.

Economists See
1853 as favorable
Year for Farmers
BY the Associoied Press

BLACKSBURG, Va.-What type
financial year will 1853 be for
Virginia farmers?
Agricultural economists, in
their annual outlook for the COM
ing year. predict 1853 will be
reasonably favorable to farmers
planning a large output"
The economists noted that the
prospect of rising farm wages
suggests that in many cases it
will be profitable to substitute
machinery for labor or otherwise
increase labor efficiency"
Generally speaking. the econo-
mists said. it will be wise for Vir-
ginia farmers to place themselves
in a flexible financial position be-
cause prices "after 1853 are some
what uncertain"
The economists also noted farm
ers whose plants are in poor con-
dition or who have low equities
in their businesses would suffer
if even a minor price decline de-
velops"
Reduce BurdenSOme Debts.
Because of the uncertainty of
the financial future, the econo-
mists suggest farmers attempt to
reduce burdensome debts during
the coming year.
The economists said dollars will
be relatively cheap in 1858, when
compared to farm products, max
ing the repayment of debts a good
investment.
I'm some cases." the econo-
mists said, lit may pay to convert
short-term debts into long-term
debts"
They also recommended Off
farm employment for farmers who
operate farms which are too small
or ineffectively organized to make
a reasonable return.
Expansion May Be Desirable.
The economists also noted that
farmers who are financially secure
may consider expanding their
farm business if it will mean bet
ter use of labor and other re-
sources"
The economists cautioned, how
ever, against the assumption of
high debts at present.
The financial outlook for farm
ers during the coming year is
made annually by personnel of
the Department Agricultural Eco
nomics and Rural Sociology at
VPI.
