On the eve Of the Battle Of
Alamein, the then Lieu
tenant General Montgomery
issued q message that ended:
LET every officer and man
enter the battle with q stout
heart, and with the determi-
nation to do his duty so long
as he has breath In his body.
"And let no man surrender
so long as he is unwounded
and can fight.
"Let US all pray that the
Lord Mighty in battle viii
give us the victory"
The engagement began on
the night of October %, 1912.
Twelve days later, "the
breakout had been accom-
plished and the hunt was on. "
This desert victory over
Marshal Rommel and tn e
famed German Afrika Corps
began the final destruction
of Axis power in North At
RIGA.
The tremendous fight is
the subject Of an exhaustive
and somewhat technical book
by c. E. Lucas Phillips, who
was commander of one of
Montgomery's regiments" at
Alamein and ended the war
as a Brigadier General.
Certain aspects Of the Bat
tie of Alamein have inspired
technical controversy, an d
Brigadier Phillips has strong
notions Of his own. These
need hardly concern the lay
man, except perhaps for the
discussion Of the ''Rommel
legend"
AS BROADER PHILLIPS
sees 1t, Rommel was simply
not that good. II have taken
occasion" he writes 90. to
reduce to its proper proper
tons the legendary and who'll
ly exaggerated i'm age Of
Field-Marshal Rommel. One
Of the foundations Of Mont
gomery's victory was his
shrewd and exact apprecia-
ton Of the mistakes that he
knew Rommel would make"
"Alamein" begins with q
vivid description Of military
life on the desert and q brief
survey Of previous military
activity there. We are then
led through q list Of the
units involved and elaborate
disquisitions on some tech
nical problems. Indeed, by
the time he has finished the
first part Of the book. the
reader should be able to

Then, the main subject. At
Alamein. Montgomery
changed the nature Of desert
warfare. Instead Of employ
ing lightning tank stabs
against prepared positions,
he began with an old-fash-
toned artillery barrage. The
first waves Of infantry fol-
lowed the barrage as 1t began
to roll forward. Only then
did sappers clear paths
through the minefields for
the tanks and self-propelled
guns.
In this way. Montgomery
got anti-tank guns into for
ward positions and proved
shat tanks could no
more advance In the face Of
resolutely manned anti-tank
guns than the cavalry Of
their fathers day could ad-

Inspects Platform

4hO Aooo PAubAOku VI JLlC
Republican Party in Mont
gomery County contained
the following statement:
I'VE favor tax legislation
to encourage the preserva-
ton Of open spaces and ag-
ricultural uses Of land. We
are convinced that the pres
ent farm assessment law
fails to fully accomplish
either Of these purposes but
serves, In part, as q tax haven
for land spectators. We ia
vor revision of the present
law to correct this situa-
ton"
The county council now
has an opportunity to take
three simple actions which
would 60 q long way towards
carrying out this pledge.
Urgency to act now stems
from q bill which has been
introduced In the Maryland
General Assembly by Sena-
tor Clark Of Howard County.
Senator Clark would drop
the present requirement of
the preferential farm assess
ment act that the "zoning
applicable to the land" be one
Of the criteria used to deter
mine whether or not land in
agricultural use shall be ell
gible to be assessed at q small
fraction Of its market value
for the stated public purpose
Of maintaining agriculture
and preserving open space.
Yet the coming criteria Is the
only one Of 90 in effect which
gives any permanence to ag-
riculture, or acts to preserve
open space.
BY q small oversight no
one ever specified what zon-
ing lot size should qualify the
land for preferential assess
ment. It's right here that the
public purpose Of the law to
preserve open space has bro
ken down. Meanwhile farm
ers who ardently supported
preferential assessment on
the grounds that they not be
driven from their land by
high taxes due to rising land
values have bitterly opposed
agricultural or low density
coming on the grounds that 1t
would prevent them from
subdividing their farms into
half-acre lots.
What the council could
easily do Is this: First: Go on
record against Senator
Clark's amendment. Second:
Request that the Montgom-
cry County Planning Board
make q recommendation to
the county's Legislative dele
cation on the proposal Of the
planning commissions staff
that the farm law be amend
ed to require rural or large
lot coming in addition 10 ag-
ricultural use. for eligibility
to receive preferential assess
ment. II nothing Is done this
session, the chance will not
come again for two years.
Third: Declare it to be coun-
Gil policy that since the in
tent Of the preferential farm
assessment act Is to MAIN
tain agriculture and to pre-
serve open space as an amen
ity necessary to human well
fare and happiness, that
landowners who have been
receiving special tax benefits
cannot validly object that
the development value OF
their property has been arbi-
trarily or unfairly reduced II
the council decides to adopt
and implement a general
plan requiring that some
parts Of the county now zoned
for half-acre lots be rezoned
for less intense residential use
compatible with continued
agriculture and providing one
type Of needed open space.

One may fervently hope
that the trips to Europe Of
Adlai Stevenson and Secretary
Of State Rusk during the
coming month may result in
q clear and coherent state
ment Of American policy to-
ward Europe.
Such q statement Is over
due because the Europe that
Is emerging today is, In q
number Of ways. rather diff
ferent from what might have
been expected even q few
months ago. And statements
Of American policy that
served ct an earlier period
now seem painfully outdated
and inadequate.
The exclusion of Britain
from the Common Market, at
least for the time being, has
served to emphasize the ex-
clusiveness II not ISOLATION
ism Of the European bloc.
Whether or not they prevail,
the expression Of European
aims and detectives supplied
by President de Gaulle Of
France square uncomfortably
with the ideas Of an Inter
dependent Western commu-
nifty" preached by leaders Of
the American administration
Particularly in the military
field, most Of the specific
ideas dreamed up by these
leaders in recent months
have seemed hopelessly out Of
tune with the realities as
they appear In Europe. The
suggestion that our allies
should massively increase
their conventional contribu-
ton to Western defense has
no serious defenders any
where. The argument that
Europe should be content to
leave its nuclear security ex-
clusively In the hands Of the

only by those countries which
lack the capacity for a ma

Why tomato leaves curl .
Lower tomato plant leaves some
times roll or curl during growing
season. This usually happens
when a hot, dry spell follows a
good growing period. Older
leaves become less active than
younger leaves, and during dry or
very warm weather these are the
first leaves to show effects of
this partial water deficit In plants
by curling.
No diseaseproducing organism
or insect causes this type Of leaf
curling. It is likely to occur on
vigorous plants, and is especially
noticeable on plants trained to
single stems and tied to stakes.
Plant aphids sometimes cause
leaves to curl. Aphids can be
identified on leaves.
Big crops Of healthy lambs are
the result Of advance planning
and good common sense manage
ment.

fence TALK

THE LISTER PLANTER is a
new plow/plant machine de-
signed for new minimum tillage
operations that may revolution
ize farming again. It was
demonstrated last week on the
Schmidt brothers. farm near
Sudlersville, Maryland by the
Queen Anne Soil Conservation
District at their field day pro-
gram.
Conventional level land tillage
permits the weeds to start be-
fore the crop. Too, the moisture
is worked out Of the soil by
repeated discing and packing,
which also breaks up the soil
structure.
Minimum tillage with the
lister planter lets the crop and
weeds start together in the plant
beds. Old crop residues are
mulched in to hold moisture,
preserve soil structure, and
prevent wind erosion, accord
ing to j. T. McAlister, SCS
engineer, who is recognized as
the "father" Of mulch tillage.
New larger farm tractors
make mulch tillage practical to-
day at a saving Of man labor
and lower unit costs. Many
time-worn notions are dis
carded. A good seed bed is no
longer a finely worked clean
seed bed. It is not necessarily
level, but listed or trenched.
During cultivation, the tractor
rides on the undisturbed ridges
for hrmer footing at first. Dur
ing the second cultivation, the
wheel sweeps level out the
ridges SO that harvesting IS on
more level ground.
The Schmidts have 500 acres
of lister planted corn, which
appears to be the best in the
community. We will try to get
you the final yield story at the
end Of the harvest season. In
the meantime, II you want to
see the test field, drive west
to Sudlersville from Hartly.
Turn right just before you get
to the cemetery and the farm
will be on the right about two
miles down the road

THE STATE GRANGE is host
this week to ten farm leaders
from PahStan. It is all part
Of the farm world exchange pro-
gram designed to increase food
and fiber production through
friendship and understanding
among farmers.
Grange host families in Della
ware include Francis Thomas OF
Marydel, Ralph Clendaniel OF
Hartly, Edna Dukes of Smyrna,
Granville James of Laurel, Paul
Mitchell OF Hockessin, Norman
Dempsey and Daniel Harris Of
Newark. Mrs. Lillian Raughley
Of Dover is coordinating plans
for the visitors.
PakiStan was created as a
Moslum state from British India
In 1947. But the country traces
its history to at least 5000 BIC.
Ninety percent Of the people to-
day are farmers, and strenuous
efforts are being made to i'm
prove the social and economic
life through the Village Aid Pro-
gram. The visiting farm leaders
are here to pick up ideas for
use at home.
The group spent Wednesday
visiting the University Of Della
ware Agricultural Substation at
Georgetown, the Townsend
broiler dressing plant at Mills
boro, and the Rural Electrifica-
tion Annual Meeting at the fair
grounds in Harrington. They
were the guests OF Capitol
Grange at a picnic supper on
Tuesday evening, and (will visit)
Governor Carvel at the State
House on Friday.
Besides Delaware, the Pakis-
tani leaders have seen farmers
In Vermont, Michigan, South
Dakota, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Texas and North Carolina. They
arrived in New York in June,
we're briefed in Washington,
D. c., and return to Pakistan
the last Of August.
We welcome them mo st
heartily. am sure our folks
benefit as much from their visit
as we hope they do.
Soil Test for August Seedlings
Do you plan to make fall seed
ing? A lawn perhaps? Does the
field need lime? What fertilizer
are you going to use and how
much per acre?
# you don't have the answer to
these questions, have the soil
tested now. Don't wait until the
day you make the seeding and
then guess.
Doing the Job right can make
the difference between a sue
ces sfu1 "catch" and a poor
"catch" or possibly a seeding
failure.
A successful new seeding will
start that field or lawn towards
years Of highly productive, high
quality forage.
Ask our office for tnfor-
nation, telephone 736-1448, on
how to have soil tested.
Stop those insects You can
fish, hunt, or SIT outdoors with
out having to fight off mosquitoes,
gnatS ana other annoying pests.
Simply use an insect repellent.
Many repellents are available
in aerosol form or as lotions.
They can be purchased at most
drug or sporting goods stores.
Best overall protection is OBJ
tanned with lotions. One appli-
cation on exposed skin or clothing
gives protection for several
hours. They're not Irritating to
the skin, and don't stain most
clothing.
Just the same, you should read
the label on the container before
using these insect repellentS.
