Operation Oil Lays
Front Street Dust

Oiling of Front Street continues
as the first step in an organized
program instigated by the city
street committee headed by Coun-
Gilman Bill ellis.
Although the oiling operation is
causing some small inconvenience
it is felt by most of the business
people who will benefit, that the
results far outweigh the incon-
venience.
The blocking off of one block
at time, allows the oil to pene-
trate and soak the gravel instead
of being carried off on tires of
cars and shoes of pedestrians.
Although it is not a permanent
solution to the dust problem, the
street committee is to be compli-
mented for their efforts to i'm
prove the situation in a systematic
manner.

4. Having a product worth marketing.

It is the fourth thing THAT is most important in marketing,
because without it the others are without meaning. And this
requires the most work. Think about the job facing every
farmer and you can realize that it consists of producing as
much Of the best quality. product he can grow. Every process
and every operation he performs has that as its goal
What does quality" mean? The word really includes the
ideas of condition and taste. When we talk about condition
we are really thinking Of the looks and feel of the products
Is. the fruit clean ~or dirty? Have insects or small animals
chewed holes in the produce? Have. insect stngs caused gum
my juice to.ooze out Of the fruit and harden on the outside?
Have diseases resulted in discolored or soft sunken areas
having developed on the fruit? Has the produce been hand
led bv people who do not realize that rough handling causes
bruises? Have too many fruits been janned together into
a container, also causing bruises? Are the root crops WashedJ
or do they still have field soil on them?
When we talked about condition we were interested in
what our eyes thought about the produce. But when we talk
about taste, we stop looking atzour food and start eating it.
Were the fruits harvested at the proper stage of maturity.
to taste best? Some are best harvested full and ripened after
wards in storage. This is supposed to develop the best flavor
and texture. Bananas and mangoes are handled this way.
Avocadoes, melons, sweet corn, and tomatoes taste best when
allowed to get completely ripe right on the plant, But they
must not be allowed to remain on the plant beyond this stage
In the actual way the crop is grown will also influence
the taste Of the product. For example, merely selecting the
correct variety can make a great difference between Just
ordinary quality and excellent quality. This IS true when
comparing varieties of sweet corn or melons. Some varieties
are more highly Favored than others. With pumpkins and
sqnashas, some varieties produce a more watery flesh when
others produce a flesh that is more dry, nut-lke and more
tasty. With most other crops it is the same way.
The use Of fertilizer is very important in influencing

quality: When enough fertilizer is used, the growth Of the
crop takes place faster, and produces crops that are more
tender. Crops that have grown too slowly are usually more
tough and woody and harder to eat. 1881
Controlling insects and diseases also has an effect on
flavor.
The sugars in plants are manufactured IN the leaves, -
the leaves Of a plant are lost because of insect feeding Of
disease attacks less sugar is made This Is why melons pro
Educed on plants that have lost many Of their leaves have
"a poor flavor. Yet the melon fruits may look as good as those
that were grown and a healthy plant
The remedy in.every case seems simple. Then why DO
we find produce Of poor quality? In most cases IT IS q matter
of not doing a complete jobsThe first step in such a complet
job should be to visit the people at the Agricultural STATION
to learn Of new developments in varieties, insects and disease
control and fertilizers. Next, it is a matter of actually put

John S. Still, curator of historical COL

curved tubing to the mechanism be-

fall and. ultimately, the Hanged wheels
to rotate. Some of the minor parts are
missing and, as result, the piston
arms are not actually connected with
the wheels or axle, but they seem to
have been at one time"

with the retirement of Commander Joseph
K. Taussig, jr. It is the first time since
Civil War days that one or more members
of the Taussig family have not been serving

Actually, the motto does not appear
in the accepted words in Aquavivas
little book but as "Fortes in fine con-
sequendo ct suaves in modo" Even the
thought was by no means original with
the good father but frequently was ex-
pressed in various ways by earlier
Jesuits. For example, his immediate
predecessor as general of the order, the
Belgian priest, Evaradus Mercurianus,
wrote in 1874: "Gubernandi ratio,

CIoudius Aquovivo

There has recently appeared, in an
APP dispatch Of late August and in your
editorial of September 8, publicity for
a motto to be found on President Eisen-
hower's desk. The motto in question
reads: "Suaviter in modo, fortiter in
re-"
According to a White House spokes-
man, quoted by the AP, the motto was
written by Claudio, 10th century head
of the Jesuit Order, in treatise called
Aqua Viva" Your editorial appears
to accept this identification. AS a mat
ter of fact the Jesuit in question was

Jesus. position he held for the last
"a years of his life, and is usually re-
garded as the greatest general of the
order after Ignatius Loyola. He wrote
the "Directorium" or guide to the use
of the Spiritual Exercises" of Loyola
and supervised the writing of the famous
Ratio Studiorium" in 1584-1599. The
motto in question usually is referred
to his "Industriae pro superioribus ad
curandos animae morbos," which ap-

arrangement is shown pointing forward,
an apparently incongruous position.
AS 1t now is displayed at the museum,
it points toward the rear. Another
photograph, apparently taken between
the time the sketch was made and
the time the latest photograph was
taken, shows the elbow pointed toward
the left side-which may have been the
way it originally was intended, to
divert smoke from the mechanism.
The vagueness surrounding the
model and its history will make it
difficult to determine whether John
Fitch's ideas about steam railroads
were in advance of his day, but the
theory furnishes another interesting
speculation about a controversial
figure. @
Fitch, native of Connecticut, began
his career in Trenton, N. j., as a brass
and Silversmith, but the American
Revolution brought failure to that bust
ness. He later amassed fortune as
a sutler with the Revolutionary Army.
His venture in the steamboat business
he held exclusive rights to steamboat
navigation in New Jersey, Virginia,
Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York
was financial failure, and he died
