Legal cases involving religious
issues are coming before courts
in growing numbers.
Several such cases have reached
the United States Supreme Court.
In at least two instances, the
high court has refused to in
tervene. One such refusal is of
particular interest because IL
concerns what is probably the
most common religious dispute
faced by local courts-that Of
the ownership of church prop
erty.
The Supreme Court last week
declined to review case involv-

saS City, Kans., that State courts
be prohibited from interfering in
"a purely ecclesiastical contro-
versy."
In June, 1850, Mr.. Fehsenfeld
was dismissed as pastor of the
church by group of parishion-
ers loyal to the doctrines of the
American Baptist Convention of
which the church was a member.
When the pastor claimed sup
port by a majority of members
of the congregation, his oppo-
nents sought and obtained an
injunction from the Wyandotte
tKansas) County Court barring
him from the pulpit and prohib-
iting any change in the church'S
denominational affiliation. The
Kansas Supreme Court upheld
the legality of the Injunction.
A similar case, involving the
withdrawal of a church from the
Southern Baptist Convention,
reached the North Carolina
courts this week. A group of
former trustees of the North
Rocky Mount Baptist Church
brought suit to regain title to
the church and its property and
keep the congregation within the
denomination.
Sunday Movie Ban Attacked.
The Supreme Court also has
declined to decide whether cities
may prohibit movies or other
commercial amusements during
Sunday church hours.

Federal question involved in the
appeal of Charles B. MCGEE,
Charlotte, N. c., drive-in theater
operator, who had been lined $40
in Charlotte Municipal Court for
violating a local ordinance re-
stricting the showing Of Sunday
movies between 1870 and $50
pm, and after 9:30 pm.
Mr.. MCGEE had attacked the
ordinance as designed to drive
citizens into the churches" He
argued that if movies were to be
prohibited during certain hours
on Sumday, radio broadcasting,
TV programs and other amuse-

Growing Weeds Steal Moisture:
Dead Weeds Help Preserve 1t

Growing weeds left in the field
or garden are the greatest thieves
of soil moisture, according to
George K. Vapaa, Associate Coun-
ty Agent, for Kent County. But
weeds that are killed and kept on
top of the soil along with other
plant residue become an efficient
aid in conserving what water there
is in the soil.
Growing weeks - if they are
dense or thoroughly cover the
ground-will give off into the air
about the same amount of water as
bare wet soil, says Mr.. Vapaa. But
the weeks keep on doing it day af-
ter day because they keep on send
ing their roots down into the sub
soil where the water is. So con-
trolling weeds Vapaa stresses, is
Just as important as not having
bare, wet oil in your field on a sun
shiny day. But, he adds, keep the
dead weeds on the surface to avoid
leaving the soil bare.
A wet, bare silt loan soil will
lose a quarter of an inch OF
water in a single, clear dry day
The second clear day, as the sur
face becomes dry, the loss will be
less and each successive day it will
decrease. In four or five days, OF
about three days in summer, the
loss becomes negligible after the
soil has dried out to depth OF
about half inch of water.
To conserve moisture, Vapaa
suggests keeping tillable land COW
cred all year rounl either with
grass, growing crop, or plant res
idue (weeds will do). Rain stored
in the soil in the winter, with the
help of a ground cover, will be
available for other crops in the
following summer.

Doomed Evergreen Seedlings
Now Reach Record Production

Doomed Evergreen Seedlings
Now Reach Record Production
i A few years ago a little-howr
fungus disease almost wiped out
the production of white pine and
Douglas fir seedlings in Delaware
Then u scientist from the Univers-
ity of Delaware developed treat
ment which now provides a record
production of seedlings.
DR.. Robert S. Cox described his
work this week (Tuesday) at the
annual meeting of the American
Institute of Biological Sciences in
Madison, Wisconsin. Urig a COM
bined treatment of soil fumigation
and foliage spray, DR.. Cox found a
double barreled method of potect-
ing confer seedlings from the time
of termination until the seedlings
leave the plant bed two to four
years later.
The treatment has also increased
the growth rate of young ever
greens. Being free of parasites,
the white pine and Douglas fir
seedlings grow as rapidly in two
years as they did formerly in three
or four years.
DR.. Cox finds the disease is SER
ious in other states. New Jersey,
Virginia, and North Carolina re-
port considerable damage from
this fungus, Cylindrocladium scop-
arium. A recent report indicates
the disease is also present in Penn
sylvania. While the fungus at
tacks northern conifers such as
white and red pine, it does not
harm southern conifers like the
loblolly pine.
In developing the treatment, DR..
Cox first fumigated the seed bed
with chloropicrin or formaldehyde
two weeks before seeding to reduce
the soil population of the fungus.
This protected seedlings from
phases of the disease known as
damping-off and root-rot.
BY the second year, however, the
fungus had gradually built up
again in the soil. The disease
reached advanced stages of stem
canker and needle blight which

Bureau of Animal Industry
Needs Twin Calves For Tests

County Agent, William E. Tar

calves of any beef or duai-purpose
breed are needed by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture's Bureau
of Animal Industry to continue
calf-feeding studies started in, 1850.
Offers from breeders to sell their
twin calves have been very limited
this year, Tarbell reports. AS a
result, the feeding studies at the
Beutsville, Md, research center
may be seriously handicapped.
Breeders within 800 miles of
Washington, D. c., who have ident-
ical twin calves they are willing to
sell, are requested to write DIR. C.

Small Grains Benefit
From Seed Treatments

Chemical seed treatments are
available to control most smuts
and blights of the small grains
wheat, oats, and barley. 1t is safe
and easy to treat seeds chemically
on the farm, according to DR.. ]. W.
Heuberger, Extension plant path
ologist at the University of Della
ware.
Many farmers purchase certified
seeds from dealers who already
have treated it, Heuberger points
out. Some who use their own
grown seed hire dealer to clean
and treat the seed. On-the-farm
treatments can be accomplished
easily and successfully. Details
can be obtained from county
agents.
Chemical treatments are most
effective when allowed to come in
contact with the seed for at least
two days before planting. The
interval between treating and
planting normally should not ex-
ceed four to eight weeks.
Brow loose smut of barley and
loose dwarf bunt of wheat cannot
be controlled by chemical treat
ments. Heuberger cautions that
wheat carrying dwarf bunt should
never be used for seed.
