he mention Christ - the greatest
of all.
1t is curious that of all the per-
sonalities recorded by Plutarch,
aided by the glorification of count
less historians, not one can be easi-
ly remembered by us today. Yet
the story of the Nativity is still
fresh and new, known and loved by
everyone throughout Christendom
Progress from the ancient to the
modern has kept pace with the ac-
ceptance of the true meaning of
Christ's teachings-that we are all
created in the image of God; that
we are all equal in His sight; that
we must, therefore, be equal in
the eyes of the law, if the law is
Just; that mankind holds domin-
ion over the earth and all that is
dominion over another; tn I
through a society of mutual love,
understanding and respect we can
attain "Peace on Earth, Good Will
Toward Men,"
We are, unfortunately, still far
from this ideal. Tyrants, who de-
clare themselves the masters of
men, are still pretending to achieve
peace through force of arms and
establish good will through bribery,
corruption and compulsion. Trea-
ties and pacts are made, presum-
ably to keep the peace, but actual
ly to hold the balance of power.
History records an endless vari-
ETY. of Alliances between Nations,
Leagues of Nations, and even
United Nations each built to de-

to destroy those who contest their
rule. These vain things are done
in the name of peace - but there
is no peace.
Have we not learned through
these thousands of years of strife
and agony that tyrants have failed
to make peace? Must we forever

Recommends Checking Soybean
Seed termination

Soybean growers should be
making sure seed they have or
seed they're going to buy will
grow after it's planted, advises
Frank B. Springer, University of
Delaware agronomist.
He says so because October and
November weather last fall along
the east coast was too wet for
producing the best seed. And
testing seed now will make you
surer of harvesting a top-yielding
soybean crop next season.
Seed planted this spring from
soybeans left in fields during last
falls wet weather will likely have
a low termination rate, the
agronomist believes. SO he re-
commends testing at home the
termination rate of seed you have
or are going to buy-or sending
seed to the State Seed Testing
Laboratory at Dover for a free
test.
To make the home test, count
out 100 soybean seeds, Springer
says. Then put the seeds between
two wet blotters for to 10 days.
Keep the blotters wet and the
room temperature about 70 de-
grees. After the seeds sprout, you
can count how many seeds per
100 will probably come up next
spring.
If this count is low, the agron-
omist says to treat seed with a
mercury compound to increase the
termination rate. Treating costs
about 10 cents a bushel.
But the best way you can get
high-quality seed is to buy cer-
titled seed, he suggests.
Agricultural Conservation Program
Kent County farmers are urged

IN the 1857 Agricultural Stabili-

Joseph Ennis, Smyrna, chairman
of the Kent County Committee,
stated that "many farmers put
off signing up until too late to
secure the greatest conservation
benefits for their farm"
Mr.. Ennis pointed out that in
terested farmers should go to the
AlS.C. office, at Dover, and dis
cuss their farm plans for this
year with the county Office staff.
In this way the various conser-
walton practices that are avail
able and may be of greatest help
can be included in the farm plan
for 1857.
Approval must be secured for
each practice that is carried out

will take time to determine the
best conditions for the appli-
cation of oligomycin.
Questions Unanswered
The United States Department
of Agriculture recently announced
that downy mildew of lima beans
had been effectively controlled
by the use of agrimycin. Halo
blight of beans and some other
diseases apparently can be con-
trolled with applications of a
combination of terramycin and
streptomycin.
The question is how much and
when to get an effective control.
One gardener has reported he
controlled fire blight of pears
with agrimycin. but when he APP
piled it to roses at the same
strength. 10 parts per million,
he burned the roses. A follow-up
trial at five parts per million pro-
tected the roses but he did not
leave a few for a comparative
check.
Undoubtedly the combination
of terramycin and streptomycin
offers potent control material
for the destructive fire blight of
pears. This disease has killed
more pear trees in the Eastern
two-thirds of the United States
than any other disease or pest.
But we still have to learn what.
when and how much, is needed
to do the job. Will the 10 parts
per million be adequate when
applied at the beginning of the
towering period or are two or
more applications necessary?
Should the applications be made
early, midday or in the evening?
Some say the crude drugs are
more potent than the refined
materials which are permitted

as to the effectiveness of agri-

How to Administer II?
Once a suitable program has
been worked out for the spray
ing Of plants with the antibiotics
there still remains the problem
OF providing it in a form that
will fit the equipment and needs
of the gardener. For example,
one speaker noted that one mill
igram per gallon of water would
do the job.
Very few laboratories. private
or public, have equipment for
