Listen Americans!
BY GEORGE S. BENSON
President of Harding College

One of the worlds great problems within mans capacity
to solve is that of adequately feeding the people At many
places the earths surface has been solved 1t hasn't
been solved in India where famine has saked throughout
the centuries and whore eemng millions today perpet
uay undenoushed 1t hasn't been solved in China where
chronc hunger has been miserable burden passed from
generation to the next
India hasn't solved the problem of feeding her millions
by adopting SocalSm is ChinaS cenures-Od hunger
going be appesed by the phony land reform of the Com
munis The great food problems Of Asia and elsewhere
be solved only by vastly increased productivity the land In
free America industry and science have Joined to make
farms the biggest producers and people the best fed
earth
The big chemical companies constantly discovering
of improving agricultural productivity DUPONT,
of the biggest is spending millions for research in agr-
cultural chemistry. 1t has Just published booklet entitled
THE Story of Farm Chemicals The booklet points up this
fundamental truth:
When each man raise only enough to feed himself,
then all productive effort must to the raising OF food
Thus valid yasc Of civilizations progress is the extent
which the farmers productivity permits larger and larger
SegmentS Of the population to their sS in other fields
How strIingy this truth is brought home you travel

Nile valley, literally whole people ensaved to the
land because their ancient farming methods produced

people lived farms Today with II cent of the pOpua

held up a vote ON the Hawaiian
Statehood bill at the last session.
his announcement is an important
one. He voted at the last session
in favor of further argument be-
fore the bill was reported to the
Senate.
The question of statehood for
Hawaii raises basic issues which
the Congress has never yet dis
solved. There has never been state
detached from the mainland in the
history of the country. There is
also the question where the process
will stop if the United States be
gins to incorporate faraway areas
INTO the United States. Admitted
ly, those in favor of statehood of
Hawaii have put up a strong case,
although the measure is not likely
to he passed in the Senate without
bitter opposition.
1t is our belief that while Senator
Longs recent announcement is sig
nificant, it does not necessarily in
sure success for the bill-as pro-
ponents are proclaiming. No doubt,

L. NJ. T. Again An Issue

President Dwight d. Eisen-
hower's commission on National Sc
curity Training has recommended
a program of universal military
training. Of course, this has been
a hot issue before and the bill has
always been defeated in Congress
on past occasions.
Nevertheless, the commission
headed by julius Ochs Adler con
sidered the question thoroughly in
the interest Of all the youth of the
country and particularly the prob
lem of a fair distribution of mill
tary obligations among the com-
Itry's young men.
We have always believed that it
is wrong for this country to call
upon some of its young men to
serve and give up their lives, while
other able men are never required
to serve at all. No matter what
the reason for his exemption, the
young man who is fit and able, and
who is not required to serve, is get
ting an unfair advantage over the
man who must serve.
1t has long been inconceivable to
many Americans how Congress re
fuses to distribute the obligation
of the country's young men fairly
and impartially. 1t is also surpris-
ing how many people have the idea
that lodging military service is
smart, or that they can do SO and
let others defend and even save the
United States in an emergency.
OF course, the problem in Con-
gress is actuated because various
private groups bring pressure to
bear on Congressman to vote
against universal military training.
There are always some religious
groups, and groups composed Of
mothers who believe that their
Johnny or Johnnies cannot serve
without going to the dogs. This
line has been thoroughly disprovcd
by the examples Of the country's
millions of veterans Of two world
wars
1t should also be remembered
that when military training be
comes universal, the same condi-
tions will not attend military train
ing which now attend it with a pro-
fessional army and draft only.

Wants Doe Season
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
Now that the deer season is
over, and all reports are in and
gone over, the results show that
something definitely has to be
done in Garrett County to increase
the male deer herd.
For instance, there were $50 less
bucks killed there the past season
than in the previous one while
other counties exceeded their kill
of bucks Why should Garrett
County fall back? 1t is the largest
county in Maryland and is more
suitable for the protection of deer.
The whole trouble is, as | see it,
there is not enough of forage, and
too many does. For example, I
had a party Of fourteen hunters on
my place, Lone Wolf lodge, near
Hutton. and only one 5-point buck
was killed. 1t was scrawny and
weighed only 81 pounds. Over fifty
does were seen.
The State of Pennsylvania real
lied years ago what was happen
ing to its deer herd, and immcdi-
ately set up a DOE season. If this
is not done in Garrett County next
season our herd will be depleted
rapidly | would suggest a one-day
doe season in September or Just
before the rutting season arrives.
Maybe some conscrvationist can
work out something better. Study
the facts about the vast number
Of deer at the Aberdeen Proving
Grounds. Why can't more deer be
trapped there and shipped into
Garrett County? This, in my opin-
ion, would help solve our problem.
DEFINITELY something has to
be done and done PROMPTLY.
Yours in Sport,

Committee and by the more vilu-
lent Democratic senators such as
mike" Monroney, of Oklahoma;
Humphrey, Of Minnesota, and Lyn-
don Johnson, Of Texas, to the gen
cral effect that General Ike had
supinely surrendered to one or the
other of the Republican factions;
that he was failing to assert his
leadership; that he was "timor-
ous' and confused" For a long
time the anti-Ike propagandists
sang on these keys. But they have
not done so recently. They ceased
to do so almost Immediately after
the President made his historic
speech before the United Nations
Most Of his critics on foreign policy
fell into line with him after that
When he followed through with
his four days of conferences with
Republican chairmen Of House and
Senate concerning the measures he
will submit to Congress, the talk
about Ike's lack of leadership
just went "out the window" I'M
doubtedly, the President will have
to fight to get his program-or
even a large part of it-through.
After the Republican conference
the President invited the leading
Democrats of House and Senate to
90 over his proposals with him.
Notwithstanding the pain this
caused some of the irreconcilable
New Deal journalists, the Demo
cratic conference promises to be
almost as successful az the Repub-
lican. No one expects the Demo

Of two things there now seems
no doubt-first, the Republicans in
Congress have got the White House
leadership for which they have
been squalling; second, that for a
considerable part of the Eisenhower
program the Democratic support
essential to put it through will be
forthcoming. For this there will be
two good reasons: On, most Of the
Presidents proposals will be OBJ
viously sound; (2), most of them
will have very great popular sup
port.

Better Peach Trees
With Cover Crops

Peach trees grow best when
treated to a vigorous winter cover
crop. That is the conclusion from
a 1O-year study of southern Della
ware peach orchards, made by the
University's Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
The most satisfactory winter
cover crop was a mixture of 20
pounds of rye and 30 pounds of
vetch. SOwed September l and
disced under in mid-May. this
treatment encouraged good tree
growth. 1t also reduced competition
for moisture and nutrients-im-
portant during the growing season.
Halehaven was the peach varie-
ty used in the research, carried on
at the Agricultural SubstatiOn in
Georgetown. Twelve different treat
ments on 384 trees with various
combinations of winter and sum
mer cover crops all indicated that
tree will grow better with some
cover than with constant clean
cultivation.
SlflI
should be well fertilized before
sowing a cover crop. In this case.
800 pounds of a 21b-10-1O fertilizer
were applied each year to the area
sOwn to rye-Vetch.
In general, the treatments that
gave the best tree growth the first
five years also resulted in the
largest trees at the end of the ex-
pertinent. These trees also pro-
duced the most fruit.
Complete details of the peach
tree study are available in Expert
ment Station Circular #28, "Bet-
ter Peach Trees With Cover Crops.
