about "a inch. Distance between
rows may be as close as IL inches.
Plants should be 4 inches apart
in the row.
A good plan when sowing par
snip seed is to SOW few radish
seeds along with them to mark
the row. The radishes will soon
come up. Then cultivation may
begin. Young parsnips are very
tender and cannot compete sue
cesfully with weeds. Sometimes
a narrow board is laid on top of
the row. If you do this watch
the row daily and remove it as
soon as seedlings appear. Bur-
lap sacks cut into or s inch
strips and pegged down over the
row also works. Watering may be
done through the burlap II very
dry.
A good variety is Improved
Hollow Crown. Parsnips pre-
sent no storage problem because
they may be left in the ground
and used throughout the winter
as needed. They improve in
quality after frost and freezing
weather. The probable yield for
100 feet Of row Is about 2 bushels.

Matching bugs.
If a tulip shows up in the bed
with a bizarre streaking Of the
color in the petals. take hold of
1t near the ground and give a
good pull. The streaking is visible
evidence of a virus disease.
While it may be pretty it is wiser
to remove the plant and prevent
the infection from being spread
by the aphidS.
There is a strong temptation
to plant the warm weather crops
now but it is generally preferable
to wait until the soil warns UP.
Midway is safer for such crops
as beans, eggplant, peppers,
petuniaS, and really tender crops.
These crops practically stand
still in a cold soil or perhaps are
stunted. Putting tomato plant
under a paper cap usually keeps
1t going strongly because the
cover draws the sun and warns
the soil. We could use this device
for the other kinds If we have
enough covers.
The specialists report that the
"Spittle bug" does a lot of dam
age to the strawberries and
should be controlled. The spit
tie bug is best known for the
white-frothy deposit he makes
on the plants. The So-called
spit IS the covering of eggs and
young. Use rotonone to control
them should they be present in
the strawberry patch.
Grape growers should not over
look the first spray application

when the new shoots are 4 to 6
inches long.
It Is interesting to note that
the vegetable specialists still
recommend two old-timer pole
bean varieties because Of their
quality for eating and freezing.
Each has certain Objectionable
features but good eating quality
offsets them. The Kentucky

their seed in the Pacific North

There are places where grass

Steep slopes, areas near build

It will grow in such places and

Societies Against
Roadside Kennels
Full Of Pups for Sale
By Peter Booos

BY refer bog9s
Now that warm weather has
set in and motorists throng the
highways. the roadside dog-deal-
ers are beginning their annual
torture. In other words. every
few miles during q Sunday or
holiday motor trip, you will see
a pathetic line of wire coops con-
tanning puppies of every sort. and
above them a Pups For Sale"
sign.
In these cages. miserable little
morsels of caninity are crowded.
usually unprotected from the
sun. often without water or de-
cent food.
The S. PEA and the Humane
Societies have tried. in a few in
stances. to abate this evil, but
with scant success. If you want
a good pedigreed pup. 60 to a
reliable kennel. He may have a
sign offering pups for sale but
you'll find the dogs in their
proper quarters.
If you want very inexpensive
dog Of no particular breed. apply
to your local s. P.C.A. or HUI
name Society. Steer clear Of the
often sickly or weak pups offered
for sale at the side Of the high
way.
Springtime is puppytime. More
pups are born at this season than
at any other time Of year. Just
the other day read where sew
eral experts claimed that. all
pups. beyond the number Of
six, in a litter. should be put to
death-preferably the females
because the mother cannot care
for a larger number. If the dam
is young and healthy. see no
need for such deliberate killing
Of newborn canine babies.
My dogs have had filters Of
from 8 to 10 puppies. all Of
which grew to healthy maturity
and with no injury to their WELL
fed mother. Nature is much
wiser than we humans. Seldom
does she blunder. I have read
of filters OF from IS to 20 pups.
born to settlers and to Great
Danes. etc. Raise the pups.
Don't kill them.
1t would certainly surprise you
to wander through many Of the
large department stores through
out the country during the mid
die of the night. The surprise
would be the number Of dogs
you would encounter.
More and more department
stores are employing dogs as
night watchmen. A large store
in Chicago started to train four
dogs to help patrol the acres Of
floor space. They proved very
successful: so successful that
other stores followed with their
own kennels Of watchdogs. Today
the insurance companies and
many stores are promoting the
idea Of employing dogs to help
guard large department stores at
night.
@. We have q litter Of pups.
We want to keep only one.
How soon can we sell the
other four? ID. M. H.
A. AS soon as they can be
weaned from their mother which
would be when they are about
six weeks old. However it would
be better to keep them with
their mother until they are eight
weeks old.
@. Do you know how many
dogs there are in the country?
e. o.
A. I don't nor does any one
else exactly. From reliable
sources it Is estimated that there
are between 10 and 20 million
dogs in this country today.

A few warm days and the
gardener wants to dig, and If
he is to keep up with the parade,
1t is likely that there is much
digging to be done. AS we dig
each spot Of ground we should
try to incorporate some humus
-decayed vegetable matter-as
well as mix in q bit of fertilizer.
Humus is needed to keep the
soil in good physical condition
as well as to act as a reservoir
to hold moisture for the plant
roots. BY mixing in approx
mately half Of q normal applica-
ton Of fertilizer at the time of
digging we are more certain it
will be within reach of the plant
roots. Some plant foods. such
as phosphate, travel slowly
through the soil and it is good
practice to use a fertilizer high
in phosphate at this time, The
ordinary 5-10-5 (the 10 As the
per cent phosphate) will suffice
in most soils in this area.
The last freeze did more dam
age In many section of the area
than meets the eye. While gar
deners in the more protected
sections of the city escaped dam
age, many in the suburbs suf-
fered severely. Some azalea
bushes were damaged to the
extent Of splitting the bark. US
ually such injury Is fatal. Wrap
ping the split area so as to hold
the bark firmly and to prevent
drying during the healing seems
the only remedy. Many gar
deners lost the new growth on
the roses; butterfly bushes also
suffered. Other damage may be
reported as gardeners have the
time to look over their plants
and shrubs.
Now that the evergreenS are
putting out their new growth,
they should not be transplanted.
To do so during this period is
apt to result in loss Of the new
growth. 1t will pay in most cases
to wait until August before at

If you are not willing to shear

Pope Stresses
Human Needs
In Industry

VATACLN CITY, Radio. NC)-
"The factory, before 1t is a mold
er of metal, is like every human
association, molder of men" His
Holiness Pope Plus XII told a
group of American foundrymen at
an audience here today.
The visitors had come from Paris
where they had attended the In
ternational Congress of Foundry
men. The Holy Father told them:
1T is gratifying to observe that
the delicate but critical problem
of human relations in the factory,
foundry and office is coming to
occupy the attention it merits in
your meetings with your fellow
foundrymen abroad"
Matter comes out of the factory
ennobled. and men too often de-
based" His Holiness said, quoting
from the Encyclical Quadragesimo
Ammo. He added that animating the
whole industrial unit of employer
and employed is the soul of the
worker, with its hopes and fears.
Security and efficiency in
business, he declared, "are the
return paid on the sense Of JUS
fiee and the anifY thar reigns
among those who unite their ef-
forfs-often their heroic courage
--fo build IL and keep IN what
you Americans call "a going con.
Germ"
I'VE trust" he concluded that
you will have been heartened to
find your European colleagues at
one with you in their determin-
alton to resist valiantly that de
perSonalizing process - barbarous
word for 4 barharous reality ~
which threatens today much more
than merely economic values"

Terrorists a
Slay Aged Nun

MENTI, Kenya, British East
Africa -(NC)- A sorroWing Ca
tholic community offered Requiem
Mass here for a 61-year-eld nun
who was slaShed to pieces by the
gigantic knives of Mau Mau ter
roists.
Some SO terrorists, armed with
hugh native knives and poisoned
arrows, struck the Catholic mission
here on the night of September
%. Sister Eugena Cavallo, who
had worked here for % years, was
the only one killed in the attack.
Her left hand was amputated and
her head slashed off by the knife
swinging terrorists.
A priest, Father Edmondo Ca
vicchi, was wounded in the shoul-
ders and hands, but was able to
escape in the darkness.
Another nun, Sister Evangelina
was captured by the terrorists but
was released when they were put
to flight by a group of native
Christians modified by OF e r
priests and Brothers at the mis-
sion. Imenti is the Catholic head
quarters for the diocese of Meru
and is staffed by the Consolata
missionaries of Turin, Italy.
The Mau Mau terrorists who
made the attack are believed COM
posed of local natives who were
recently dismissed from Nairobi,
the capital of Kenya. Plunder is
believed to have been the motive
for their attack. Local authorities
have begun investigations and a
number of suspected persons have
been placed under arrest.
(The Mau Mau are a secret
society in the Kikuyu tribe and
are dedicated to the custer of all
whites and of all Christian influ-
ences from Africa. The movement
is repeatedly now being aided by
the Kremlin. But the causes which
led to its spread are listed as in
adequate land for the Kikuyus and
the pernicious education provided
by secularistic, independen
schools established some decades
ago by British authorities for the
Kikuyus.)

in the heart of Warsaw, according
to reports received here.
This prison, near the Red Min

famous. Here are sent the most
obstinate religious and political
prisoners for Softening up, pro-
cess that sometimes lasts as long
as three and 0ne-half years.
However, once a prisoner cracks,
he gets much improved conditions,
including better food.

ers, about a third of whom have
not come to trial Sometimes
trials" are held in the prison
itself and executions carried out
in the basement.
Some $50 inmates serving life
sentences operate state printing
presses for circulars, j d ntit t y
cards and the like.
Bishop Kaczmarek'S health, al
ready undermined under prolong-
ed torture, is repeatedly ready to
break down completely. He is said
to recite obediently anything ask
