%, McNair 80, McNair II,
Speight Clio, Coke l87-Hicks,
Speight G-19, Speight G-5, and
McNair 20.
The tests were conducted in
i1is state at Rocky Mount,
Whiteville, Clayton, Oxford, and
ReidSviIIe R h Stations.
These tests were part Of a re-
gional testing program that irl-
cludeS Georgia, Florida, the Ca
roliDas, and Virginia. Under a
plan adopted by all Of the states
involved, no new variety may be
released until it has had two
years of testing. Because Of
this, there will be no new va
rieties available for the 1854 crop.
Roy Bennett, Extension Tohac-
co Specialist at North Carolina
State, points out that growers al
ready have a large number Of
disease resistant varieties, which
gives them an opportunity to dis
tribute their acreage among a
number Of varieties.
''If you are satisfied with your
present variety, stay with il I'M
til you have had a chance to
gain experience with other to-
baccos, Mr.. Bennett suggests,
1T IS better the first year to
grow a small acreage Of any va
riety that is new to you than
to go into large scale production
immediately
TOBACCO PLANT BEDS
Many tobacco farmers have al
ready ftHnigated their plant beds
for seeding their next years
crop. Experimental records in
dicate that more plants can be
produced in soils that have re-
ceived late fan and early win
ter furnigation. Results also in
dicate that methyl bromide Of
plant beds can be more effective
IN winter months if the hot water
method of treatment is used.
GREENHOUSE TOMATOES
Wilfred Phelps, young tobacco
and vegetable farmer of the Ce-
dar Grove Community, is in the
process Of planting tomato seed
now to provide plants for an ear
ly spring crop Of greenhouse to-
matoes. These seed are sowed
in flats. When the plants reach
between one and two inches in
height, they are transplanted to
individual cups. They win grow
in these cups until the plant be-
comes about ten inches in height.
At that time, they viii be trans
planted to the greenhouse soil
which has been thoroughly fuI1i-
gated for disease and nenatode
control. Seed Sown at this time
will be expected to produce ripe
tomatoes about the first Of May.

Were Cuba Missiles q Hoax?

About the only expense to
the Soviet Union was that OF
a few transatlantic trips by
merchant vessels. The ships
themselves weren't sunk. They
are still in service. Il would
be surprising if the whole
project cost the Soviet Union
$50 million. And that's pea
nuts to the Russians, who
spend throughout the world
in propaganda alone about
81 billion a year.
Tie hoax was dram ltic.
II scared the world. 1t helped
the Soviet propaganda for
suspension of nuclear tests,
and maybe 1t promoted the
cause of disarmament from
the viewpoint of the Rus
slams They are still pressing

spection.
But, above all. this strange
adventure in diplomacy put
Mr. Khrushchev in the posi-
ton of being conciliatory,
peace-seeking and magnani-
nous. The men in the Krem-
lin presumably spared Amer
lea a war we we're ready to
believe was coming and saved
themselves from a war they
never intended to start. So
the hoax certainly earns

directions.
Much of his instruction in
school will be oral. and how
we'll he listens will help deter

a good example by paying at
tention when your child talks
to you. Make. it clear that he
should listen when you speak
and not ignore your requests
until you show anger or i'm
patience.
Include him in conversation
and family enjoyment of radio
and television. Provide him
with records which he can lis
ten to again and again. Stimu-
late his interest in the world of
sound.
8. Provide a reading environ
ment.
Read aloud to him, prefera-
bly, at a regular time. Let him
choose the story and add his
comments. Give him books and
place to keep them. Make a
game Of noticing signs; praise
him when he recognizes words
or signs on television. Include
reading in the family pattern
of living.
4. Answer his questions or
help him answer his own by
relating a new situation to a
familiar one.
Don't make him feel that his
questions are foolish or unwel-
come. Unless danger is in
volved, encourage him to ex-

ais to find out for himself how
things work. Look up together

Give correct names for actions
and objects: Mother is dicing

.matoes. That is a helicopter."
Encourage him to use new
terms he hears on trips: Via

existence" policy in Europe
and around the globe wher-
ever the Communists have
extended their power?
Looking at it solely from
the Moscow viewpoint, what
was there to lose by the ven-
ture? The United States
certainly wouldn't attack
first and bring on a nuclear
war. The Soviet ruler still
held the trigger, and didn't
intend to pull it and commit
suicide.
He could haggle for awhile
about whether the missile
bases were offensive" or
defensive" The whole game
appealed to him as one he
couldn't possibly lose. For he
knew in advance that at any
critical moment he could al
ways withdraw and get credit
for a "statesmsnlike' deci-
sion. as President Kennedy
actually called Mr.. Khru-
shchev's reversal.
But wasn't it an expensive
gamble? Early reports esti-
mated that the project cost
Russia a billion dollars. But,
on reflection this seems
grossly exaggerated. The 40
missiles cost a lot of money
tO manufacture, but they
have since been returned to
the Soviet Union intact and
nothing has been lost on the
investment in weapons.

Reading is, of course, what
you are doing right now.
But it is also an audiovisual
verbal processing skill of SYM
bolic reasoning, sustained by
the interfacilitations Of an in
tricate hierarchy of substrata
factors.
However you define 1t, says
Prof. David H. Russell of the
University of California, read
ing is a complex process.
1t means learning new words,
Prof. Russell says in a pamph-
let published today by the Ma
tional Education Association.
1t also means getting facts and
meaning from words already
known, learning to interpret
what is said, and reacting to
the beauty or humor Of a selec-
ton.
The pamphlet, "A Briefing
for Parents: Your Child and
Reading" claims that today's
children read better than the
children of earlier generations,
ID espite the widely publicized
assertions to the contrary. 1t
also denies the frequently
voiced criticism that today's
children do not learn phonics
1t sets forth these guidelines
for parents of children learn
ing to read, prepared by AL
thea Beery Of the Cincinnati
public schools:
/. Encourage your child to be
self-reliant.
Applaud his efforts to dress
himself and give him RESPONSE
bility for egtting out and put
ting away his belongings. Be
ready with praise for a good
try; give him a bit of help
when he has tackled something
too difficult, but don't smother
him with detailed directions
and criticisms.
Encourage him to solve his
own problems with his play
mates Provide play materials
and equipment that encourage
manipulation and experimental
ton - crayons, scissors and
scrap materials to work with;

news event of the past year?
This is the time perhaps for
a different kind Of nomina-
tion: Who shall get the
award for putting over the
"hoax of the year,"
Unquestionably the per-
petrator of the deception that
scared the world in 1862 was
Nikita Khrushchev. He never
had the slightest intention Of
starting a nuclear war, but he
m a de people everywhere
believe he did. Thus he won
the praise Of heads Of govern
ment throughout the world
when he withdrew his arti-
ficial threat.
But the whole war scare
was really baseless. If it
wasn't, then someone for
several years now has been
lying to the American people
about the power Of massive
retaliation possessed by our
missiles and nuclear weapons.
AS the year 1862 ended,
the United States had an
arsenal of 500 missiles at
bases scattered inside the
United States or aboard sub
marines at sea or planted on
sites in Europe-all of these
missiles being able to reach
into the heart Of Russia.
Again and again the AM
erican people have been told
by spokesmen for the Gov
ernment that within a mat
ter Of a few hours the en-
tire Soviet Union could be
destroyed in retaliation for
a surprise attack. Even con-
ceding that this country
would take the first blow"
and that it would be terrible,
the fact remains that not all
the bases from which the
United States could strike
back would be destroyed
simultaneously. Also, the sub
marines under the sea and
the missiles based in Euro
pean countries would be able
Immediately to return the
blow with such intensive
force that the Soviet people
would be annihilated.
Nikita Khrushchev knew
all this before he sent his 40
missiles to Cuba. He knew
that, while a missile attack
from Cuba might devastate
some American cities within
a range of 1900 miles, this
would not destroy the many
missile bases in other parts
of the United States which
could fire back instantly at
the Soviet Union.
So the theory that an at
tack would be launched from
Cuba alone was never logical.
Such an attack would have
to be simultaneous with a
missile attack from the So
Wet Union itself, and this in
turn means that all Euro
pean bases and all under
water missiles of the Western
alliance would have to be
rendered useless at the same
time. Nobody familiar with
defense problems has ever
attributed such destructive
power to Russia.
The more the problem is
analyzed, the more implaus-
ible is the theory that Mr..
Khrushchev ever intended an
attack from Cuba or any,
where else.
Then what was the Soviet
Premier's real purpose? And
what did he get out Of it all?
He got a pledge from the
United States not to inter-
vene in Cuba. But this in it
self was hardly worth the
risks Of the whole expedition.
Was the object perhaps to
start a cycle Of negotiations
that might bring concessions
and compromises by the
United States in the Berlin
situation and elsewhere? Did
Mr.. Khrushchev think that,
by soaring the American peo-
Pile, he would force the Presi-
dent to adopt a peaceful CO.
