Vegetable News Notes
Here are a few timely notes on
growing problems:
Cultivation Of Tomatoes

NuAtAVutAOM Ol LOiMatOeS
Cultivation Of tomatoes is neces-
sary to control weeds and aerate
the soil. A heavy crust may form on
the surface and slow up growth.
However, if the roots are cut off,
cultivation may do more harm than
good. Use the right type of equip
ment and spend all the time needed
to properly adjust it. As the plants
grow older move the cultivaters
further away from the plants and
only an inch or two deep. Be Care
full: Don't cut your yield by cutting
roots.
Sidedressing
Sidedressing Oh most vegetables
is a profitable practice requiring
little extra labor and small amounts
of fertilizer. Last year E. P. Brasher.
Head of the Horticulture Depart
ment of the University of Delaware
increased yields of tomatoes by one
sidedressing. About 500 lbs. of s.
1915 or 5-10-10 six weeks after trans
planting will usually result in good
increases in yields. Sidedress vine
crops just before vines spread with
400 lbs of 5-10-15 or 4-8-12.
Sidedressing peppers also pays.
About 400 lbs. of 5-1O-1O will stim-
ulate vegetable growth which is
certainly needed for good yields.
Sweet corn when it's knee high
needs 100 to $50 lbs. of ammonium
nitrate. Almost all vegetable crops
will benifit from sidedressing after
the heavy rainfall this spring.
Cabbage, CauliflOwer and Broccoli
Be sure that seed is hot water
treated. This treatment helps in the
control of black rot disease. II
Seeding plants become infested
with root maggOts in the plant bed
treat with chlordane 2. or 8 days
before transplanting. Use four
ounces of 469o chlordane emulsion
to so gallons of water and podI
along the row, at the rate of 1 gallon
to rs or 80 feet of row.
Potato Blight
Late blight of potatoes was found
in Kent County June 5th. Cool, wei
weather favOrs the spread of this
disease. Be sure to get good cover
age of the whole plant when spray
ing. This will take 125 to 175

BeIocs Influence Unmatched Among Centurys Catholics

Whatever the academic short
comings of Belloc's historical work,
he has lived to see his influence
growing Enthusiastically in Britain's
universities. General ideas which
he expounded from an intuitive
understanding OF the whole sweep
of the European past have again
and again, in these latter years,
been adopted by the pundits and
given a more scholarly authority.
In other spheres, too, few men
have presented such unfamiliar
and apparently novel ideas and
then lived to see them so widely
accepted. The classic essay on 'The
Servile State" which Belloc wrote
in 1912 seemed far-fetched and un-
necessarily alarming at the time,
but our generation knows only too
we'll how easily the servile state
can become reality in the modern
world. Europe and the Faith
and other books about the essen

unity" He said that they cause
"class distinctions" and group
cleavages. And so on.

most prophetic as the statesmen
at Strasbourg search for new uni.
ty in the Western continent in the
face of mortal danger from the
East.
When Belloc was for few years
in the House of Commons in the
reign of Edward VII, he represent
ed Manchester constituency as a
Liberal, and the Liberal "Manches-
ter Guardian" now sums up his
long life when it writes:
THE strongest of all the motives
in Belloc's career was the defense
and advancement of the Church in
which he was born, and the hope
that the Faith will recover its in
innate and guiding place in the
heart of Europe All the great per-
sonal influence which he exercis-
ed was used to that end, and not
used in vain. If that Church is
stronger in England thai. 1t was
fifty years ago, it is largely because
of Belloc and the most eminent of
his disciples, OK. Chesterton.

James Gunn--stocky, strong, with
the black cape which, like his
friend Chesterton, he used always
to wear, his chin strong and jut-
ting, his face clean-shaven, his
eyes glinting with the light of bat
tie but with fun as we'll.
Anyone who has read, for in
stance, THE Four Men" will know
that he could be the jolliest
of companions. singing his own
songs, telling his own tales. His
epigrams, his light verse, his sa-
tirical novels, his essays all spar
kle with wit.
Yet Belloc's private life was hard
and sad. he lost son in each of
the two world wars and he lost
his Irish-American wife in the year
in which the first world war broke
out He was at heart an emotional
man and he felt his sorrows keenly.
After his wife died he changed
nothing in the home which he had
made for her at Kings Land: to
the end there was never a tele-
phone, never electric light.
He wrote so prolifically because
he had such vitality, such an abun-
dance of intellectual exuberance,
with so much to say on almost ev-
cry subject to which his mind was
turned. But he also wrote prolifi
cally because he had family to
bring up and no money except
what he could make by his pen.
He was the most devoted of hus-
bands and fathers, the family the
center of his life and the home

accurate and the generalizationS
sweeping: but he had none of the
facilities usually taken for granted
by historians. He had only his own
brilliant mind in his own Oxford
days as young man he had attain,
ed the highest distinction and had
been regarded as one of the three
most brilliant undergraduates OF

attended in my home town. Every
body went to public school. There
wasn't any other. Furthermore, ev-
erybody in town knew everybody
else. The situation was ideal from
the point of view of Or. Conant's s
theory that the more you throw
people together, the more demo
cratic unity" there will be.
Unfortunately for that theory,
the fact is that you never saw 50
many "class distinctions" and
GROUP cleavages" in your hfe. The
pupils in one class looked upon
the pupils in other classes as il

The boys and girls in Lincoln
Building No. ] had nothing TO dc
with those in Lincoln No. 2. And
at the drop of hat, you could get
fight going between Lincoln One
or Lincoln Two, and the boys from
Sherman Avenue School.
Sherman School was across town;
and believe me, brother, if a Lin.
coin kid ventured into Sherman
territory without his gang, he came
back with a black eye.
There were also ferocious group
cleavages among the four classes
in high school. There were occa.
sional small riots over class colors,
and the greatest possible tri-
umph was for one class to grab
the colors of another, burn them,
and put the ruins on display.
| notice something of the same
general sort in the school life OF
my children. They attend a parish
school in which there are two first
grades, two second grades. and
so on. II is unanimously consid-
cred unthinkabie among the chill
dren for, say, one fourth grade to
be chummy with the other fourth
grade.
All this is simply human nature,
Youngsters naturally have fierce
group loyalties. So have high
school and college students. Which
school they attend has nothing to
do with il, In any school they will
create group cleavages. And the
"clasS distinction" between the
half-back and the brain" Is as in
destructible as Gibraltar - as is
the cleavage" between the mem.
bers of Eta Bita Pie Fraternity,
and Hava Chunka Cake Fraternity,
would hazard guess that there
are more group cleayages" inside
Harvard than there are between
Harvard and. say, Notre Dame.
DR.. Conant, If he takes a long
look, will easily see through the
Teachers College delusion. Demo
cratic unity doesn't depend on
putting all the kids in one school,
any more than on forcing all the
citizens into the same church, the
same club, or the same street car
Democratic unity comes from a
philosophy of life which teaches
folks to love one another in spite
of, or even because of, distinctions
and differences. That philosophy
can be taught in any school-above
all in a school which asserts thai
God commands us to love oul
neighbors as ourselves.

With the death of Hilaire Belloc
on July is in the Franciscan nurs-

the last living link with Cardinal

Christians Told
OF Responsibility
To Be MissiOners

VATICAN CITY - NC) - Not
only the missionaries but "all who
are aware of the inherent RESPONSE
bility of being Christian must take
part in the Church's effort to evan
gelize the world. Archbishop Flip
pc Bernardini stressed here.
The Secretary of the Sacred Con-
gregation for the Propagation of
the Faith gave this reminder in a
statement issued in connection
with World Mission Day to be OBJ
served throughout the Catholic
world on October 18, the third Sun
day in October.
II was Archbishop Bernardini's
first worldwide appeal for prayers
and aims for Catholic missionaries
carrying out Christ's command to
preach the Gospel to every crea-
ture." Formerly Papal Nuncio to
Switzerland, the Archbishop was
appointed Secretary of the Sacred
Congregation for the Propagation
of the Faith in January this year.
The Archbishop pointed out that
the Church needs men and means
to carry out her divinely appoint
ed task of evangelizing the world.
In this missionary endeavor, he
said, the Church fights a peaceful
yet bloody battle - peaceful be-
cause her men are armed with love
and good will, bloody because these
men meet with hate, violence and
resistance.
The many anguishes and Difficult
ties of the missionsry's life must
not be aggravated by forgetfulness
and abandonment on the part of
! Catholics. the Archbishop stated.
