Cancer Link to Domestic Flax
In Cigarette Paper Studied

by the Tobacco Industry Re-
search Committee.)
DR.. Salins pointed out that,
while the upward trend of lung
cancer, and other ailments has
been suggested to connect with
a rise in smoking in the last
two decades. it was 18 years ago
when the use of foreign fax was
abandoned. in favor of the more
economical American grown
product.
Flax readily takes up and re-
tains impurities and poisons, the
doctor said. Caustic soda and
Sulphuric acid, both irritantS, he
went on. are widely used to
break down the fiber for paper
pulp. When finally produced,
he said, the cigarette papers also
frequently contain as much as
10 per cent chalk.
He also said use of insect
sprays on fax should be studied.
His suggestion, he said, was
that these factors merited study
in connection with the American
Cancer Society warning earlier
this week that smokers have a
death rate as much as rs per
cent higher than non-smokers.

Italian Jail Coup Foi|ed
In Farm Worker Strike
By the Associated Press

FERRARA. Italy, June 26.-
More than 100 Communists tried
in vain to break into a jail
at Jolanda di Savoia, near here,
yesterday to free eight comrades
held as farm strike trouble
makers.
The eight men, all identified
as members of the Communist
Party, had been arrested at dawn
as agitatorS in the two-month-
old strike of 100000 farmhandS
in this rich Italian farm and
dairy area, for higher wages.
Riot police in jeeps dispersed
the group soon after it assembled,
before it could enter the jail.
Elsewhere in the area, four
other Communist leaders were
arrested for melting strikers to
attack farmers who try to har-
vest their fruit crops.
Police said that since the
strike began more than 500 agi-
tators-all members of the Com
munist Party-have been ar
rested. Another 500 have been
taken in custody, questioned and
released. Several have been in
jured in clashes with the police.

PROMPT FEELING OF DEAD
TREES REDUCES PERHS

Aging in the wood, beneficial for
some things, is anything but that
for dead and dying trees, They
should not be left standing too
long. This seems pretty obvious,
but Davey tree experts say too
many property owners delay hav-
ing trees felled in the mistaken be-
lief removals become more econ
omical the longer the hulks stand.
Actually, this neglect compounds
the peril for both passersby and
the professional tree men who
eventually will be called upon to
remove the trees. To make matters
worse, the property owners may
have to pay more than the normal
cost for prompt tree removal.
That's because some tree surgeons
rightly require premium payment
for the extra hazards involved.
Even under the best conditions,
the experts consider dead tree re-
moval their No. One accident haz-
ard. In the city, trees are removed
by cutting into small pieces that
are carefully lowered with stout
ropes. They are not felled the way
lumberjacks do it in the forest.
Getting rid of unsightly dead and
dying trees is a great favor to the
landscape in general. Decaying
trees often are breeding grounds
for insects that can infect healthy
trees. With elms, in particular, re-
moval and burning is vital to pre-
vent the spread of Dutch elm dis
ease, carried by the elm bark bee
tie.

crops to those which will make
more profit for farmers, Mr.. Scha-
binger asserts.
Corn and wheat are the most
important local crops that come
under the surplus heading. The
1854 acreage reduction for corn is
a voluntary program in this state,
but farmers who do not observe
the acreage allotment assigned to
their farms will not be eligible for
price supports on the 1854 crop.
Wheat acreage allotments for this
year, backed up with a marketing
quota program have been approx
ed by farmers vote.
The county agent points out
that the production of food and
fibre must be kept in balance with
the market demand for farm COM
modities. At the same time, farm
ers must not be penalized for hav-
ing adopted improved manage
ment practices which increased
their production efficiency.
Sometime in the future our
rapidly increasing population will
need all the food and feed we can
grow. To supply these needs the
yields of most crops must be in
creased, and this means we must
pay more attention to soil fertility
particularly in starting a regu-
lar program for replacing soil fer
tility.
What crops can be grown in
stead of corn and wheat? There
are several others that will make
good profit, Mr.. Schabinger as
sures farmers. Dairy farmers
could well increase permanent pas.
ture. Other diverted land could be
planted to grass silage, alfalfa hay
and soybeans. If definite market
is assured, there is profit in
growing hay for the mushroom
industry, grass and legume for
seed, popcorn, blueberries, straw
berries and canning crops. Forest
and Christmas trees are a good
long time investment.
Specific recommendations are
listed in a folder, DIVERTED

Extension Service and the Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conserv-

statewide All Club reporters con-
test for 1858. They are Emelie
Pennington, reporter for the White
Oak 4-H Club, near Hockessin, and

Each winner will have her
choice of a scholarship to the
state All short course at the Uni

to the state All camp at Camp

AS reporters, the girls wrote
stories of their club activities for
weekly and daily papers. They
kept scrapbooks of their clip
pings, which were submitted to the
editors at the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service. The
scrapbooks were judged on COM

plus the use of good news report

A low bow, an orchid, and apol-
