another revolt in France IN
the not too distant future.
DeGaulle's popularity, accord
ing TO the latest French polls,
is still high but it has been
diminishing in the last few
months and political groups
that we're dispersed by De
Gaulle at the time of the last
coup are forming again in the
shadows.
The Berlin crisis, the fur
ore over Bizerte, the collapse
of negotiations with the Al
gerians-all these have con-
tributed to the charged at
mosphere of French politics.
1t would, however, be a great
tragedy if these Catholic ex-
tremistS succeeded in ousting
DeGaulle for the honor and
glory of Holy Mother Church.
IT IS NOT the first time
in history that Catholics have
used religion to further
their own worldly purposes,
Catholic kings have exploited
the Church for political ends.
Even among us we find mem
bers of the Church who fail
to realize that religion is a
tranScendant realayt that
should never be used as a
means TO a material end.
The Catholic politician who
utilizes his religious contacts
to get votes is a crude ex-
ample - but then there are
those who use religion mere
ly as a source of peace of
mind or mental security.

to summon religion to help

Arabs-and reasonable men

@. Doesn't fhe Bible say
that we should not be anxious
for things of the body? Why
then is the Church SO interest
ed in economics. efc. las in
the recent encycIicsl Mater
eft Mssistra"l7 Why don't
priests concentrate on purely
spiritual matters?
A. The beautiful passage in
ST. Matthew'S Gospel Q2:22-
35l makes the point that we
should not be anxious about
things OF the body. That does
not forbid reasonable provi-
sion for the future; it does
not conflict with a mans duty
to provide for his family. In
matters of social justice land
charity the Church must be
concerned because the Ten
Commandments and the whole
Christian way of living is in
volved. AS our Holy Father
states early in the encyclical:
christianity is truly a join
ing together Of earth with
heaven, in that it takes man
concretely, spirit and matter,
intellect and will, and invites
him TO raise his mind above
the changing conditions of
earthly existence to the
heights of eternal life )"
Therefore the Church must
be interested in what men in
dividually and in society do
with property; it must be in
tereSted in the moral and
spiritual aspects of eco
nemics, government, etc. As
the Holy Father points out:
seeing the hungry crowd,
He was moved to exclaim, i
have compassion on this null
tltude,' thereby showing that
He was also concerned with
the earthly needs of men"

plies; men must act according
to some basic principles and
beliefs. If the Church did not
speak in this area and apply.
Christ's teachings to daily life
il would be a grave neglect of
duty. Pope John XIII indi-
Gates the long history of the
Church's imitation of Christ,
especially in concern for the
poor. He discusses the great
work of Pope Leo XIII and
develops and applies the
teaching of Christ to modern
problems. That is not encour-
aging anxiety, but diSpelling
it; if we follow the Church'S
teachings we will be detached
from money and property and
We will help the poor to free
themselves of poverty which
often distracts man from his
spiritual goals.

WINTER GRAZING TESTS
By W. R. SULLIVAN

Smaller calves are more pro-
fitable than heavier calves on
winter grazing. In a test con-
Quoted at the North Mississippi
Branch Experiment Station the
test showed that 225-255 pound
calves made more money per
acres than 425-450 pound calves.
Calves weighing $50 pounds
when put on grazing last fall
netted ST. per acre above feed
and pasture cost. Calves weigh
ing 425-450 pounds when put on
grazing only netted $18 per acre
above feed and cost. Most all
cattlement will have some
calves too small to sell during
the fall. In order to make more
money from these light calves
t would be advisable to plant
either oats or rye grass or a
combination of oats and rye
grass for a winter grazing pro-
gram and instead of selling light
calves this fall market them in
April next year.
In order to have good early
winter grazing it is necessary
to break your land now. ferti-
lie with at least go units of
phosphate and 60 units of nitro
sen before planting. Where
planting a combination of oats
and rye grass you should plant
three bushels of oats per acre
and 20 pounds of rye grass per
acre. Where planting oats alone
it is necessary that you plant
four to five bushels of oats per
acre. Where planting rye grass
alone it is necessary that you
plant Is to 80 pounds of rye
grass per acre.
On hill land it may be well
to add Is pounds of crimson
clover seed per acre when plant
ing rye grass.

Early Cutting
Improves Sweet
Sorghum SiIage

The feeding quality of sweet
sorghum silage can be improved
by early harvest, research at
the Mississippi Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station has shown.
DR.. Dero S. Ramsey of the
Dairy Department says modern
views do not support the old
recommendation of cutting sor-
ghum when the seed are ripe.
Believing that part of the poor
performance of sweet sorghum
silage in the past has been due
to late harvest. he conducted
digestibility trials over a two
year period to gain information
on the problem. He was assist
ed by John w. Lusk also Of
the Dairy Department, and DR..
Norman c. Merwine, agrono-
mist. Tracy was the sorghum
variety used in the test.
Early cutting was found to
improve digestibility and to re-
duce dry matter loss and pas
sage Of seed through the cow.
Based on these findings DR..
Ramsey recommends:
"Silage should be cut as the
grain in the upper one-third of
the head begins to turn to the
mature grain color. The grain
at the base of the heads will
usually be green in color, but
plump and milky when squeez-
ed. The more mature grains at
the tops of the heads will be
doughty when squeezed, but
the germ of the grain should
appear in a small drop of milk
when the grain is squeezed be-
tween the fingers. If the seed
from the tip of an average head
are so mature that il is impos-
sible. to crush them between the
fingers and obtain a smally drop
OF milky fluid, the crop is rapid
ly approaching a dough or hard
seed stage. and should be cut"

lished in the August issue of

Social Security .
REVIEW

There was one recent change
in the social security law that,
while minor, directly or indi-
rectly affects everybody under
70 receiving old-age or survivors
insurance benefits. This was a

Under the old law, a person
could earn $1,000 and receive
all of his monthly social securi-

$500, and $1.00 for each $1.0O

COTTON

Boil weevils are increasing
rapidly. and poisoning will have
to be stepped up to closer in
tervals in order to control the
insects until your young bolls
are safe on the older cotton.
On young May planted cotton
poisoning will have to be con-
tinued until after September LIST
to make a normal crop and then
young bolls will have to be pro-
tected for another two or two
and one-half weeks after the
young bolls have been put on
tie plant. Unless the boil wee
vii situation has already gotten
out of hand you cannot afford
to let up at this time.
If you protect and save one
boil every foot in the row this
will be enough extra cotton to
pay for three applications of
poison. If you quit poisoning at
this time boil weevils will go
back and destroy bolls put on
your cotton at least two weeks
ago, so you can see the number
of small bolls you have OF your
stalk and determine whether or
not you should continue to poi
son. A boil has to be approx
mately 81 days old before it is
safe from boil weevil damage.
Let me urge that you use a
long lasting insecticide at five
day intervals or M you use
methyl parathion it will be
necessary to poison your old
cotton on three to four day in
tervals and your young cotton
on two day intervals for the
next couple of weeks.
Boil weevils are beginning to
migrate from field to field and
it is necessary to have an in
secticide there that will get the

to those of any age. Ordinary
lawn sprinkling will not suffice
for trees that stand in the turf
