BYRNES PROVES
LIABILITY TO us.
IN UN DEBATE
NEW YORK

NEW 1OQh - AM - me
first repercusSions from the ap-
pointment of Gov. James F.
Byrnes as delegate to the United
Nations occurred here last week
of headquarters. He's been in the
South Cardinals chief executive
that ''people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones"
Byrnes, supporter of white SUI
premacy, had accused Russian
dominated countries with viola
ting the human rights provisions
of their post World WarII peace
treaties.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik rose to
defend his country and reminded
Byrnes of his own state of South
Carolina.
Malik took the floor in the UN
general assembly'S political Com
mittee and told ByrneS:
Look at your own state. / have
read in the American press that
you are called 'racist No. I'm
other words, one who is in favor
of violating the UN Charter. Yet
you say human rights are not
respected in these three coun-
tries"
The three countries discussed
are Hungary, Romania and Bull
garia.
Balik went on to point out to
Byrnes that in these countries,
human rights are not based on
"race or color of skin"
Apparently the Russian dele
gates answer stumped ByrneS,
for the South Carolinian, known
for his attitude on Negro rights,
refrained from answering.
Liberal forces throughout the
country objected to Byrnes' ap-
pointment to the UN post. They
said it would leave the U. S.
vulnerable to such attacks as wit
messed here last week.
In opposing Byrnes, these
groups cited his long record of
opposition to issues of interest to
minorities, especially Negroes.
The MaIk- Byrnes exchange
came during the committees de-
bate on the issue of admitting
new members to the UN.

List of Electrical
Equipment Urged

Have you ever taken an in
ventory of the electrical equip
ment on your farmstead and in
your home? A. v. Krewatch, ex-
tension agricultural engineer of
the University of Maryland,
thinks you'll be surprised how
many items you have.
An inventory list can be use
full for several reasons. First, it
will show the amount of electri-
cal equipment you have. Second.
it will offer a check list for items
that need repair. Third. it can
be used as an oiling check list
for electric motors. Fourth, by
inserting the year each item
was purchased you will have a
record of thte number of years
these appliances have served
you. Fifth, by adding the watt
age of each appliance to the list
you can readily figure your total
connected electrical load Qess
permanent lighting equipment) !,
and sixth, by adding the cost
or the replacement price of each
item you will know how much
money you have invested in elec-
trical equipment.

Trees Need 'SnorkeI'.
In Order to Breathe

The equivalent of a simple
"snorkel" system to enable roots
to breathe" will save the ma
tive tree landscape attraction
from death by suffocation, says
S. P. Engle. field representative
of the Davey Tree Expert Co.
Grade changes for country
homes. he says, often spell death
to fine old established trees.
The aeration system basically
is a coarse gravel fill from the
base of the tree to the edge of
the root system. Then drain
tile is installed around the en-
tire root circumference, roughly
equivalent to the branch spread.
Bell tile is then run upward at
intervals to the surface of the
new grade. Air can thus get
down to the roots.

Virginia Fertilizer
List Revised

The Virginia Fertilizer Grade
Committee has announced a new
list of 81 fertilizers which may
be sold in Virginia.
Revising last years list of "a
grades, the committee eliminated
four grades and added one in a
move to raise the plant food
value of Virginia fertilizers.
The comnitteeitook 0-f4 l7'ofi
the approved list and substituted
O-16-8, maintaining the" same
ratio Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash, but increasing the
amounts.
It also struck off 0-32-16, a
new grade put on last year, when
figures showed that farmers were
using 0-30-30 instead.
The committee also eliminated
1912 and 3-12-6, but left 4-16-8,
a higher analysis fertilizer with
the same ratio of plant food ele-
ments. as an alternative for one
of them. .. - ..s:
The committee is composed of
the Commissioner Of Agriculture
and the directors of the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station and
the Truck Experiment Station.

1.-THE wicked flea" is just get
ting into it's stride among dogs.
During the winter months and
even early in the spring your
dog either had no fleas at all or
else only enough to keep him
mildly interested. Now, it is diff
ferent. And it will continue for
several months.
There are several things that
can be done. All of these re-
quire constant vigilance, espe-
cially if your dog lives in the
country or suburbs. The city dog
can easily be kept free from
f1eas. But in the country there
are f1eas in the grass and else
where.
Go carefully through his coat
every few days, looking for f1eas.
If you find any. rub one of the
several safe-and-sure flea pow
ders deeply into his coat. See
that his kennel or other sleeping
quarters are sprayed every few
days with a liquid flea killer.
You perhaps. like thousands
Of other families, are in the
midst of planning your summer
vacation. Don't neglect your dog
in these plans. If you are only
going away for a short two-week
trip, then perhaps it is best to
put your dog in a local boarding
kennel until your return. I have
given you this hint before-if
you are leaving a dog in a ken
mel, leave with the animal some
old personal belongings Of yours.
An old shoe is ideal. The pres
ence Of something with your
scent on it seems to do wonders
for a lonesome dog left behind
in a boarding kennel.
Now, if you are going to one
place for any length Of time, try
to take your dog with you-don't
leave him behind in some
strange boarding kennel. He will
enjoy the change as you will.
In certain sections of the
country there seem to be a num-
ber Of dogs that are suffering
from ear troubles-that is, judg-
ing from my mail. The majority
of ear troubles can be cured by
wiping out the ear of a dog
with soft cotton soaked first in
peroxide. Then dry the ear thor
oughly with dry cotton. But ex-
treme care should be taken not
to probe too far into the ear.
If you find that your dogs
ears are caked with a black ma
terial in the ear canals and he
keeps shaking his head, the
chances are he is suffering from
what are called ear mites. How
ever, this is easy to cure. First
clean the ear as suggested above

What to Do This Week in the Garden

tween now and the first Of Sep
tember.
Grapes should be sprayed with
bordeaux and then the fruit
clusters bagged. This is impor-
tant: The spraying to protect
the fruit from black rot; the
bagging to protect the ripening
fruit from insects. These two
steps will insure harvest of top
quality fruit. with the exception
Of the Concord variety which.
in this area. seems unable to
ropen as it should.
DO not neglect the house
plants that have been put out
of doors tor the summer. The
beating rains may have pounded
the soil into a crust and the
plants will not thrive. Also, the
insect pests are unusually bad
this season and the house plants
may need protection. Check
them to make certain that they
are growing vigorously.
The tips of branches killed by
the egg-laying activities of the
17-year locust might be removed
and burned to prevent the eggs
from Matching.
Partially decayed sawdust is
the best mulch for blueberries-
it may be applied up to S or 6
inches deep, Usually about twice
as much nitrogen should be
spread around sawdust mulched
blueberry plants. The mulch
may be applied at any time.
It is not too late to plant New
Zealand spinach for a summer
crop of greens. Soak the seed
for "a hours before planting. If
the. seeds are planted in hills
a foot or so apart thinning will
be unnecessary.
Don't neglect insect and dis
ease control for a single day.
The bugs don't go fishing even
on Sundays. Nobody likes to
eat wormy cabbage or greens
that are full of aphids.
