Soil Tests Helpful
In Pasture Search

Soil tests can be helpful in de-
iermining lime and fertilizer
needs for establishing permanent
pastures, according to County
Agent William II. Henderson.
Soil Samples brought to the Ex-
tension Office in the next week or
two will give ample time for the
reports to be returned so that
proper treatment of the soil can be
made before seeding.
On most Iarms the following
mixture is recommended:
Ladino Clover pound
Alsike Clover-3 pounds
Orchard Grass pounds
Meadow Fescue--6 pounds
Red Top-3 pounds.
If land has not been lined in the
past four years it is almost GER
tain to need lime Fertilizer ap-
piled at seeding time will help in
sure getting the small plants off
to good start. The amount of lime
and fertilizer can best be deter
mined by testing the soil.
A firm seed bed is essential. Di-
vide the seed and broadcast it in
two directions at right angles to
each other to insure good coverage.
Cover the seed not more than one
half inch on light soils and just
barely cover it on heavy soils. Cul-
both before and after
seeding is fine way to insure a
good stand.
For additional information on
seeding pastures contact the Coun-
ty Extension Office, Georgetown,

Permanent Pasture"

playpens or other surfaces within
ready reach of children.
Lead, when swallowed, accumu-
lateS in the bones. Then, VIXEN the
body suffers an infection even
something IS minor as a cold-the
lead flows into the blood stream
and finds its way to the nervous
system. The result may be mental
and emotional crippling for life.
In many cases, the disease pro-
crosses to encephalitis (brain in
1amation) and death.
Statistics on the incidence of
lead poisoning says DIR. Bradley,
are not too reliable. According to
the latest figures available to the
U. S. Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare, the country suf-
fered 231 deaths from accidental
poisoning by lead and lead COM
pounds from 1881 through 1854
Since, however, lead poisoning is
not an officially reportable disease,
most communities maintain no rec
ords on it. DIR. Bradley sees signi-
ficance in the fact that of the 231
deaths that were reported, 176 were
of children under five.
In the City of Baltimore, where
the campaign against lead poison
ing is carried on more diligently
than almost anywhere else in the
country, the Department of Health
reported 461 cases of lead poison
ing among children from 1881
through 1854. OF these, 104 died. ]
Diagnosis of lead poisoning, DIR.
Bradley says, is not difficult if the
physician has been alerted to look
for it. For this reason, a mother
can make very significant con-
tribution to her child's health by
reporting promptly to the family
physician whenever she detects
any evidence that her child has
been teething on the window sill,
chewing lead toys, or nibbling on
paint peelings and plaster frag-
ments.

Lead Poisoning Serious
Threat To u. S. Children

A warning that death or mental
crippling frequently results from
Lead poisoning among children, has
been sounded by DR.. ]. Edmund
Bradley, Head of the Department
of Pediatrics at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine.
Writing in the July issue of
Parade, the Sunday magazine,
DR.. Bradley points out that lead
poisoning is far more widespread
among children than is generally
realized. In Baltimore, for exam
pie, when DIR. Bradley and his re-
search team conducted lead deter
mination tests recently on children
brought for a variety of reasons
to the clinic at the University Hos
pital, over A per cent showed evil
dence of excessive lead in their
tissues.
Although an effective de-leading
treatment has been developed by
Dr. Samuel p Bessman, of the
Medical School staff, under grant
from the Playtex Park Research
Institute, of Dover, Del, parents
are reminded that lead can do con-
siderable permanent damage to the
brain and nervous system of a
child by the time it is removed. The
Playtex sponsored research re-
suited in technique for admins
tering calcium disodium EDTA
(ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid,
a chemical once used for the re-
moval of scale in boilers.
Children who develop lead poi
soning generally acquire the dis
ease by sucking or swallowing ma
terials containing lead. While some
chew on lead toys, the principal
source of trouble is lead paint. In
the older homes occupied by mill
lions of American families, lead
paint frequently lines the wallis,
even though newer, poisonous
paints have often been applied ON
top. When the paint peels, the
child who chews on the peelings
or plaster fragments begins a pro-
cess which may result in severe
and even fatal-case OF lead poi
soning.
DIR. Bradley also points out that

Clean Potato Storage
Before Housing This
Years Crop

Potato storage houses should be
cleaned thoroughly and sprayed
with DDT before putting this years
crop away, if damage from Potato
Tuber Worm is to be avoided. Sus-
sex County Agent William Fl. Hen
derson stated that damage from
the Tuber Worm has grown stead
lily worse the past five years and
unless good sanitation measures
are followed this years crop, too,
will be ruined.
In cleaning the store house be
sure to sweep down the ceiling and
walls and remove all filth and old
potatoes from the floor. If the
floor is a dirt one, it should be
soaked with DDT spray made up
of 2 pounds of 500 wettable DDT
powder in 100 gallons of water.
Spray the sides and ceiling with
the same material All windows
should be covered with screening
and screen door should be used.
When potatoes are dug they
should be picked up Immediately
and placed in the storage house
without delay as the Tuber Moth
lays eggs on the potatoes if allow
ed to stay in the field for any length
of time. The eggs later hatch and
the worm enters the tuber and
causes the damage.
Additional information on con-
troll of tuber worm can be secured
by writing or calling the Extension
Office, Georgetown.

caution until danger of collision is
over"
In effect. the old rules of seaman
ship for operating in obscure
weather" have not changed. The
question in all such cases, as the
court noted, is whether the ships
observed the care and caution en-
joined upon mariners by seaman
ship and statute for prevention of
collision at sea-"
II is noteworthy that the statutes
grant no special dispensation to
ships operating with radar in fog.
So while failure to utilize available
radar might be evidence of neglect,
the fact that a fog-bound ship posi-
lively depended on radar is-of it
Self-no defense. At least it isn't
yet. And there have been British
rulings to the same effect.
The Damages
Once liability is determined,
whether it is individual or joint,
an additional question comes up in
regard to collecting damages.
Normally, as indicated, injured
parties suing in country where
Shipowners are not located do SO
by a libel" action. In admiralty
proceedings this is a method Of
holding the ship itself as security
for such claims as may come out
of the suits brought. If the ship is
at fault and judgments are given
against it, the court of jurisdiction
may direct the disposal of the
vessel in order to satisfy claims
insofar as possible.
Obviously, the Andrea Doria, now
225 feet down in the Atlantic,
hasn't much value in this matter.
And the Stockholm's ability to pay
may be limited, assuming that she
was in some degree to blame for the
disaster.
This is bound to result in efforts
to reach the agents of the ship
owners located in the United States
and/or any property they may have
in this country. But some admiralty
lawyers doubt if actions such as
these can be successfully MAIN
tanned in the United States from
either legal or practical point of
view. Prospects for collecting dam
ages. then. could not be considered
good.
Whatever happens in court, this
case will not be closed quickly. 1t
took over five years to settle the
claims arising out of the MORO
Castle burning in 1884, Is years tC

Titanic sinking.

American education has never
been a stay-at-home commodity,
but President Eisenhower's recent
call for its increased export is rails
ing many new - and puzzling -
questions.
At Baylor University at Waco,
Texas, on May Is the President
issued challenge to American
universities to establish "institu-
tons Of modern techniques and
sciences" in less developed areas
of the world. And he made it clear
that the colleges should look to the
great private foundations for finan-
cial support in doing the job-not
to the Government.
One OF the biggest questions re-
sulting from his speech was this:
Would this program replace or
supplement the existing govern
mental program that last year
spent $40 million to finance opera
tons of So American universities
in SO countries?
The President made no reference
to this Federal program, an impor-
tant arm Of the International Co.
operation Administration.
Some educators felt that the pro-
posed private program merely would
supplement the thriving Inter-
University Contract Program.
Others felt, however, that the
Eisenhower proposal is in line with
his "people-to-people" instead OF
Governmental Government policy.
AS a result, the Government pro-
gram would be replaced gradually
if-and 1t is a king-size 'if"-
enough foundation money could be
found.
Further light would have been
shed on the proposal at the White
House "people-to-people" conference
scheduled for mid-June. But 1t was
postponed indefinitely by the Presi-
dents last illness. The Baylor
speech, in some respects, was a
Kickoff" for that conference. 1t
would have been attended by bust
ness, education and cultural leaders.
Old China Potten
The Baylor suggestion also harks
back to the pre-war pattern, espe-
cially to the old days in China.
About 40 American colleges oper-
ated There. without government
backing. one way or another. The
roll call was MISUNDERSTANDING,

BY 1850 the need for American
college influence throughout the
world grew urgent. To ignorance
had been added the beguiling lde-
ology Of communism. Few colleges
we're in the position to go 1t alone

enough money for the job and II
so will they part with it?
Two distinguished groups are
examining these questions. The
American Council on Education, the
virtual CHG of higher education.
has formed a special committee
headed by DR.. Herman B. Wells.
president of Indiana University.
After the Baylor speech, the
White House commissioned the De-
partment of Health, Education and
Welfare to look into the workability
of the idea. The HEW group is
headed by Undersecretary Herold c.
Hunt. 1t is concentrating on an
inventory of current programs and
needs at the moment.
Tepid Response
So far, there has been no marked
enthusiasm by American college Of
ficials for the Presidents idea be-
cause of pre-occupation with prob
lens at home. United States COL
leges, bullying at the seams and
plagued by faculty and money
shortages, are wondering how they
will cope with the college crop of
World War II babies.
The great private foundations.
some educators point out. are not
as rich or as free with their money
as popularity supposed. OF the 1000
United States foundations, less than
500 have endowmentS of more than
81 million and only IL in excess Of
$50 million. Many are restricted to
certain fields of activity. The big
ones, like Carnegie, Rockefeller and
Ford, already are in the foreign ed
ucst ional fielo.
A compromise idea allowing
both private and Government A.
nancing. but without Government
control-has been suggested infor-
mally by the American Council on
Education.
A nonprofit corporation. the
council says, might be the answer.
1t could serve as an umbrella over
an entire overseas college program.
setting the policy. keeping it bal
anced and out OF politics.
1t might be directed by q board
Of nationally known educators and
financed by both private and Gov
eminent funds.
The congressional attitu d e
toward appropriating funds for
such project is an unknown fac
tor. but 1t is known that Congress
rather leans TO the matching
funds philosophy.
Whether the religious AFFILIATED
colleges would come under the wing
Of the corporation is another thorny
question.
Nevertheless, educators feel such
a corporation could bring great
unity TO many scattered programs

tie ignorance and It's political by

overseas. But that was not enough.
So government stepped into the pic
ture to establish a necessary sup
plement to the exchange of persons
and general Point Four programs.
New Program
The first Inter- University con-
tract was signed in 1852 and thus
began one of the most exciting
phases of American foreign policy.
Today 85 contracts are in force be-
tween ICA and individual colleges.
Their programs are flexible and
varied, according to the needs OF
the countries being served.
Oklahoma Ann is in Ethiopia,
starting from scratch, building up
agricultural schools. The Uni
versity of Michigan has set up
school Of public administration and
a magnificent library at the Uni
versity of the Philippines. A
team from Utah State is teaching
Iranians new methods of irrigation
SO more food will grow.
The Russians are entering the
field, too. Nikita KhrushcheV, for
example, has promised to build and
equip chronological institute for
the Burmese at Rangoon, stated
with Russian experts. Though they
have no college-contract programs
such as ours, they are competing
4 in the educational fields in other
ways. Former Senator and Assist
ant Secretary of State William
Benton, a specialist on Soviet edu-
cation. says that the Soviet Union
is schooling for export tens of
thousands Of capable engineers,
scientists, schoolmasters and tech
nicians who will be used Ito win
the confidence Of the uncommitted
billion men and women in Asia,
Africa and Middle East who hold
the world balance Of power"
Too much foreign staining =
whether American or Russian -
can boomerang as form OF edu-
cational imperialism. Consequently,
the United States concentrates as
much as possible on teaching native
teachers.
The President accomplished
this policy at Baylor. IN no re-
spect," he said. should the purpose
Of these institutions be to trans
plant into a new area. the atti-
tudes, the forms. the procedures Of
America. The stating. the con-
duct. the curriculum Of each school
would be- the responsibility Of the
people where the school might be

Before detailed attention can be
paid to formal. other essentials
must be explored. These are the
two most important questions:
. Are American colleges in a
position 70 pursue extended over
seas activity?
. Do the foundations have
