BENJAMIN & SONS Telephone 117 Einstein Says Atomic Control Plon > Foils Princeton, N. J., July 2. — Professor Albert Einstein and a, group of associated scientists said today the United Nations had failed ! utterly to find a plan for atomic! control anchwarned that a full fleged atom bomb war might break out! within eight years. The men who helped create the atom bomb and know what makes it tick said the Soviet Union would have the start of a stockpile of bombs by 1955. And they added the! cryptic warning: “Once stock piles of atomic bombs have bQ£n. accumulated by two na-' tional blocs of a divided world, it Will no longer be possible to main-j tain peace.” Einstein’s group is the emergency committee of atomic scientists of which he is chairman. Professor \ Harold C. Urey, of Chicago Uni-' versity, vice-chairman, acted as; chief spokesman today. The scient-: tists were seated around the white-; haired Einstein who continually nodded his agreement with the pro nouncements. The United Nations has failed to find an effective safeguard because; each major nation has jockeyed around in negotiations, trying to I plaee itself in “the most advantage- | ous position to win the nejet war,” a ; statement issued by the committee said. Urey said men of science feel the only alternative to another war is J creation of a world government with real power to enforce peace. "Why have the (year-long dis cussions in the United Nations atomicj energy commission not succeeded?” the statement asked. “Is this be cause of incidental and transitory factors which can be remedied by simple measures such as, for instance the appointment- of new personnel to carry on the discussions? The an- ! swer is in the negative. The repre sentatives of great states while striv ing to safguard the peace, have ful filled their traditional duty to place their own nations in the most advan tageous position to win the next war. It is useless to proceed further along this path; one cannot prepare for war and expect peace.” The scientists said a new approach toward formation of a world gov-1 ernment to control atomic energy is necessary if war is to be prevented. “The American people must take ! an active part in achieving such a world settlement,” the committee said, “and must be prepared to mob ilize vast resources on an adequate scale to help the people of the world lift the levels of their economic life, j “The American people should un derstand that there is no easy path to the accomplishment of these grea. objectives; that in the long run, the creation of a supra-national govern ment, with powers adequate to the responsibility of maintaining the l peace, is necessary. ! Urey, who was one of -this coun- 1 try’s most active scientists in the construction of the atomic bomb, said he believed the Russians would be able to have a stockpile within eight years. Einstein broke into the conversation to say that the time element “is not so important” that what was important was>.“whaf are we going to do about it in the meantime to prevent war.” Urey also said he did not believe an atomic war would be over in a matter of hours, such as has been suggested by some scientists. “Wars usually last longer than the time predicted by those who start wars,” he said. Farmers Warned Of Boll Weevil Danger CLEMSON, July 1.—An urgent appeal to cotton farmers to dust their cotton for the control of the boll weevil was made this week by Cedric R. Jordan, Jr., boll weevil specialist of the Extension service. While the dusting should have been started earlier in many fields, there* are still fields where the cotton is small and where heavy damage will result unless the dust is applied, he said. Weekly reports from county agents in practically all cotton-producing counties in the state-and from-the entomologists at the Pee Dee 1 Ex- ■periment Station at Florence all in dicate the heaviest weevil infesta tion in years, Mr. Jordan points out. He suggests that before farmers start dusting they check to deter mine the’ per cent of infestation in their fields. This will prevent the wasting of dust. To make the count the farmers should walk diagonally across the field examining 100 squares selected at random from all parts of the plants. The number of squares found punctured of the 100 examined will give the per cent of infestation for the field. If the number of punctured squares is 10 to 25 the farmer should start dust ing. Calcium arsenate dust is still con sidered the most practical material to use. It should be applied at the rate of 6 to 8 pounds per acre. The number of applications to be made will depend upon the weather and the ’number of weevils found in the field by the infestation counts. Usually from 3 to 6 applications are necessary, Mr. Jordan stated. He advised that every other ap plication of the dust should contain 2 per cent nicotine to control plant lice. He pointed out, however, that nicotine is scarce this year and that if farmers ; are unable to secure it they should go ahead and dust with the straight calcium arsenate dust. Farmers may get detailed infor mation oh boll weevil control at the offices of all county agents. ■ " ■ 1 "■ —— ' i " CLOSING NOTICE The Ppostoffice will be closed the entire day July 4, and no mail will be delivered, the postmaster stated. By W. J. DKYDLN w The chemists now can make wigs from hen feathers, clothing from peanuts, brush bristles from milk, cotton bags resistant to rot and ver min, and livestock feed from vege tables. Early settlers in America found the Indians placing dead fish in each hill.of corn. According to MacDon ald College, the settlers first scorned the practice, believing it an attempt of natives to curry favor .with some obsecure god. They soon learned the fertilizer value of decayed fish. University of California says that > 0m^ * DDT is not poisonous to man, but University of Georgia says that DDT is poisonous to man and animals. Until the battle is 'settled, it might be well Ito refrain from eating DDT or feeding it to animals. Geese, ducks and turkeys offer a good side income source for farmers and small plot owners.. Mo/rley A. Jull, former head of USDA, has just wirtten a book, “Raising Turkeys," McGraw-Hill, New York, $3.75. “Do mestic Geese and Ducks,” by Paul P. Iver, Orange Judd Co., New York; $3.50 is now available. Both books are practical and point the way for additional “ pin money.” Two of the best books of the year. Crop seed was first sold .com mercially in the United States about 1747. Eggs of the roundworm live from 1 to 5 years in the soil. The large roundworm is one of the most com mon worms of swine. Wind is a problem when applying 2,4-D to crops. Be sure the wind does not carry 2,4-D dust or spray tot j nearby plants and crops which may- ; be injured by it. i Old ponds can be brought into good production of fish by fertiliza tion and weed control if the pond it self is suitable and has the righT balance of bass and bluegills.
