"A CENTURY OF SERVICE AGRICULTURE
CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY"
BY: r Z. HENDERSON

~ 4GA4b10 In 4A44N
The United States Department Of. Agriculture was
created by President Lincoln on May Is, 1862.
BY Proclamation of President Kennedy, the Depart
ments centennial observance began on May Is, and will
continue throughout the remainder Of 1862. This obser
vance will, as President Kennedy requested, commend
rate the contributions Of agriculture to the health and
welfare Of every citizen, to the national w~ell-being, and
to the development Of emerging nations"
Two other centennial observances Of prime impor-
lance to American agriculture also will occur during dur
ing 1862. One c~ommemorated the approval Of the Morrill,
Act, which created the national system of ~land-grant
universities and colleges. The other marks the %centen-
NAL Of the Homestead Act, which opened the public do
main to settlement and agriculture.
On the local level, the Federal Experiment Station
Of the United States Department Of Agriculture at Kings
Hill, will be observing this Centennial with various pro-
grams, films, other visual aid material, news releases,
and other media of information which will be pubicized
periodically throughout the remainder OF the year.

The Day to Be Counted

1t is regrettable, though far from
surprising, that next Tuesdays oppor-
tunity to vote will be neglected by tens
of millions of Americans.
There is, in fact, considerable
difference in current estimates of how
many people will exercise the important
privilege of casting their ballots. With
slightly more than SO million believed
qualified in the so states, an Associated
Press calculation places the voting total
at about 81 million. The Census Bureau,
on the other hand, offers an estimate
of only Ats million willing or able to
get to the polls.
1t is traditional, of course, that the
voluntary Stay-at-homeS run into large
numberS-either because of indifference
or distaste for all parties and candidates.
This years projections have been made
more difficult than normal by the Cuban
crisis, its interruption or distortion of
laSt-minute campaign plans and uncer-
tainty on the part of political statisti-
clans as to whether it will prompt a
larger or smaller turnout than usual on
voting day.
This is every qualified Americans
chance to have voice in the manage
ment Of his country's affairs, however,
and it should not be forfeited.

Dealing With the Ugly

The pleasant town of Huntington,
Long Island, has undertaken a laudable
enterprise in an effort to keep itself
attractive. The effort has been concen-
trated on parking meters, which have
been prettied up in all sorts of ways
The big element is floral. The meters
have been decorated to fare-thee-well
with Wrought-iron planters designed to
make everything seem more esthetical-
ly pleasing"
On this matter it is certainly diff
ficult to differ with the experts who are
against parking meters per Sc. Clearly
enough, these contraptions, as they are
situated now in most cities, are about
as ugly as anything could be. So it is
welcome news that lots of people are
eager to beautify them with plants, and
Shrubbery and that sort of thing. Any
progress along that line something's
got to be done, too, about the ugliness
of parking lotS) will be enthusiastically
received by Americans everywhere.
Indeed, there can be little doubt
that most Americans would like nothing
better than to see all parking meters
done away with as unSightly mesSeS.
Alas, though, the indications are that
we'll have to put up with them. Hunt
ington's experiment may help to make
the intolerable tolerable, but this is a
matter that remains, as the saying goes,
to be seen.

FideI and the Future

According to knowledgeable hemi-
Spheric observers, there is reason to fear
that Fidel Castro has given the signal
to his followers to unleash as much
terrorism as possible against our good
neighborS to the south.
At any rate, reliable sources report
that certain messages of an ominouS
tone have been broadcast clandestinely
by Radio Havana. To sum them up,
these messages leave little room for
doubt that the Castro tyranny-perhaps
in an effort to save face as a response
to the Kremlin'S acceptance of Pres
ident Kennedy's terms-iS intent upon
stirring up trouble throughout the hem
iSphere by such means as mob demon
STATIONS, SubverSion and outright ag-
erosion with force of arms.
The prime target at the moment is
Venezuela, whose government, headed
by President Romulo Betancourt, was
once-in the days of its political guile
leSsnesS-one of the Castro regimes
StouteSt supporters. However, for months
past, in repayment for this, the die
tatorship in Havana has been work.
ing with the Venezuelan Communist
Party and the Movement of the Revolu-
tionary Left in systematic campaign
of bombingS, aSSaSSinationS and other
atrocities obviously designed to upend
the country and make it another Red
base in the Western Hemisphere.
Thus, by way of grim example,
Venezuela'S CaStroite Communists re
portedly acting on orders from Ha-
vana-have just set off a series of
severe explosions in the Maracaibo oil
fields. Clearly, this tends to confirm the
charge that the incendiary Or" Castro
has issued orders for a Stepped-up cam
paign of sabotage and terror throughout
the Americas. More than few of us in
this part of the world may be inclined
to belittle the idea, but a fact worth
noting is that our friends to the south
do not belittle it. On the contrary, they
are taking special precautions against it.
Without Soviet support, of course,
Fidel Castro is nothing but pipSqueak
tyrant. He has shown signs of egomania,
but his Moscow mentors should be able
to calm him down before he does ire
parable harm. What should be clear to
the Kremlin, in any case, is that the
United States will not tolerate any
effort on his part to move against any
of the Americas.

NIT the final designs to the National
Capital Planning Commission for review.
The agreement, according to Mary
land Roads Chairman John B. Funk,
means that the entire Maryland section
of the highly important circumferential
freeway may be under contract by early
next year. This is very good news in
deed. 1t is even more gratifying, how
ever, that the final agreement runs
roughShod over the rights of no one.
While the requirements of the Roads
Commission have been met, the concerns
of both the Federal and Maryland plan
ming bodies apparently also have been
fully satisfied. All parties to the COM
promise deserve commentator.

Enemy Within

Is the destruction of vital
power stations in the Vene-
zuela oil fields by Communist
saboteurs a timely warning
to the United States that it
has such potential saboteurs
within its own borders?
One can remember when
the Communist Party in this
country boosted of a mem
bership including men of
intelligence, education and
breeding, even a few Ameri-
cans of the 9th and 10th
generation in this country.
Today, however, the party
is reduced to a hard core of
malcontentS and misfits and
a crew of strong-arm men.
That such an aggregation is
capable of serious sabotage
potential goes without say
ing. Let us hope that the
necessary precautions have
been taken to safeguard our
vital installations.
