Letters To Mimi
From Her Dad
.*+
I>rur Ml ml:
Every day I run Into people with a
deep seated attitude of defeatism. No
one ever Mot anywhere by being a defeatist
' Such a philosophy is really
the path of leaat resistance; a pattern
of thought admlttluK Inferiority;
a protective mechanism allowing the
woak Individual to eacape from difficult
tasks.
It Is much easier to any that a
thing ia Impossible and that it can't
he done, than It !m to roll up your
sleeves and make that thing a reality.
It requires no effort (that la riione
to speak of I to accept your commonplace
and mundane existence without |
ti fight to Improve It. No stamina
or moral fortitude la necessary to
way; "It can't be done." Hecauae
someone elae hasn't done that particular
thing la no reason why you
can't do it.
The kind of people who usually
adopt this habit of thought are those
who, when they failed a subject in
school, offered as the excuse that
the teacher didn't like them. It Is A
perfectly normal reaction for us to
conjure up In our subconscious mind1
a Justification for our failures and
shortcomings. In faet. wo go through
life finding Justifications for all of.
the tilings wu do regardless of how
wise or how Insipid these acts might I

to attempt to make our fellow men Bee I

Turnips Year-Round
Crop For Gardeners
C|em*on, June.?Green vegetables
| sometimes get rather scarce in lute
m111111111 -r. am) in the beat regulated
family gardens a few rowa of turnips
planted In June, uapeclally on inolat
land, w ill t ome in mighty handy during
the hot months, say Clemaon extension
horticulturist a.
A fact not generally appreciated is
that turnip greens contain many of
the protective elements -vitamins ami
minerals needed in food, more of
these elements even than the widely
heralded spinach. And here is an important
prcatlcal fact: Turnips are
j easier ro grow than spinach and last
longer in the garden.
Still another advantage over spinlath
is that turnips, after furnishing
I greens from he tops, produce ait tinI
(ierground crop of roots to supply
another fine dish for many woeks.
. And any portion of the crop not used
for food is good feed for cows.
of thought until we convince ourselves
that wo are right. ?
Those who succeed In life and accomplish
the big things seem to understand
the tricks the mind plays on
them in this matter of being a defeatist.
They seem to see both sides of
this mental quirk at the same time.
Remember what I've told you about
I not seeing the trees for the woods.
Well. t>he successful are usually ablo
to Identify, at long range, the trees
from the forests they are In. In
other words, they can breuk up their
problems into their component parts
and by careful analysis arrive at a
reTiFonnbly correct solution.
This Is the philosophy I want you
to udopt: Nothing under the sun is
impossible; there is no such word as
can't; armed with the weapon of
truth, there is no force, regardless of
how (lialK)lical It may be, that cannot
be licked. No Individual or group
of individuals are all powerful. One
sane thinking individual with the right
kind of determination can whip into I
a pulp a mob of half-men unarmed,
with the philosophy of truth. Stand
to the rack?be your own council?
develop Invincible determination.
Above all never admit your Inferiority
by becoming a part of a mob that allows
someone else to do your thinking
for you Make up your own mind
and then set out to do the thing you
have made up your inlnd to do?and
don't stop until It's done!
Love,
Your Dad.
P. S. It Is much hotter to Btart even
if you fall than it Is to accept defeat
before you start. You have at least
put forth an effort and have gained
In experience. Nothing Is Impossible
until you have put forth every effort
and have failed.

-In Washington lust *?ek 1 ??
impressed with the strong probability
thrtPt farmers in the Southeast might
not bo able to secure normal shipments
of feed grains from the M t\lwest
next winter. Director Walkins
continued. "It seems bniKir ant that
farmers in this state take this posst
hility into account and pt(M*uce
of the feeds for our increased livestock
population that may yet be
possible. It is too late to plant some
crops The seed supply of other crops
is pretty well exhausted. I he thing
that may yet be done are *her*'^?
limited "Ry these and by the li b
problem. However, to the extent that
the food and feed "hortago can be
met on each farm, that should be done
as a war measure.
Among the promising crops which
may yel bo planted for harvest thta
yea-- few are more important than
sweet potatoes. Whlle_ it is getting
late for the best Quality of commercial
sweet potatoes, good yields
may yet bo made where good varieties
of planting stock are available. Either
plants or vine cuttings may be used.
They should be planted close in the
drill and between rows and should be
given a fertilizer with a high potash
foritiUlA. The probability is that tnere
will be a market for all of the good
quality sweet potatoes that can be
grown this year, either for fresh consuptlon
or for dehydration.
If the sweet potato crop is to be
increased, additional storage will need
to be provided before harvest time,
Director Watkins points out. For
short periods they may be kept in
cheaply constructed A-typo storage
houses, plans ofr which can be obtained
from county agents. Any leftovers
or culls will not go to waste
but can at least be used for livestock
feed.
What Not To Do
In An Air Raid
1. As soon as the bombs start dropping,
run. (It doesn't matter where
as long as you run like hell.)
2. Wear track shoes if possible?if
the people In front of you are slow,
you won't have any trouble getting
over them.
3. Take advantage of opportunities
afforded you when the air raid sirens
sound the warning of attack, for example:
(a) if in a bakery, grab a pie,
cake, etc.; (b) if in a tavern, grab a
bottle: (c) if in a movie, grab a
blonde.
4. If you find an utiexploded bomb,
always pick it up and shake it like the
devil. (Maybe the firing pin is stuck.)
If that doesn't work, heave it into the
furnace. (The Fire Department will
come later and take care of things.)
5. If an Incendiary bomb is found
burning in a building, throw gasoline
on it. (You can't put it out anyhow,
and you might have a little fun.) (a)
If no gasoline is available, throw a
bucket of water on it and lie down?
you're dead. P. S. The properties of
the bomb free the hydrogen from the
water, causing a rather rapid combustion.
(In fact, it will explode with a
helluva crash.)
6. Always get excited and holler
like hell. (It will add to the fun and
confusion, and scare the devil out of
the kids.)
7. Drink heavily, eat onions, llmburger
cheese, etc.. before entering a
crowded air raid shelter. (It will make
you very popular with the people
within your immediate vicinity, eliminating
any unnecessary discomfort
that would be more prevalent if people
crowded too closely.)
8. If you should be the victim of a
direct hit. don't go to pieces. (Lie
still and you won't bo noticed.) J
9. Knock the Air Raid Warden
down if he starts to tell you what to
do. They always save the best seats
for themselves and their friends anyway.

l/teo Your 'Weapons" Shiulng
for Victory Garden Success
tMoe. and SpAatf.
\ <7* Save the. jbay!
Raising n Victory Garden is a lot
like fighting a war. It is easv to
join up, but the campaigns which
follow uro tough.
You can tell a good gardener
by the mid-summer condition of his
hoe and spraying equipment. If
they shino from ample use, he has
been doing his duty.
Weeds are thieves that take two
all important things away from a
growing garden?water and plant
food. Weeds chopped off or uprooted
and spread on top of the
ground as a mulch, prevent evaporation.
Live weeds accelerate the
| loss of water, because each living
| plant draws moisture from the ?dil
and throws it off into the air,
Remember also that weeds in
order to grow fount take nourishment
from the soil the same as
does any other plant. "Whatever
j plant food the weeds tako from)
I garden soil no other crop can get,
and in most sections there ia-not
enough available plant food in the
soil at a given time to support
both weeds and garden crops.
Hoeing also helps control certain
pests which lay eggs in the
ground near plant stems. Cut
worms that live near plant stems
under the ground can be dug out
and killed by hand where hoeing
has kept soil ldose. In large plantings
cut worms are best Killed by
scattering a poison bait of bran
20 lbs., molasses 1 qt., Paris green
\ i lb., water 3 gallons, all mixed
thoroughly before scattering.
Insects likewise rob the garden
of much of it< crop-producing
power. Steady use of the sprayer
[ to destroy the marauders is our
only salvation. But, in the sprayving
operation a knowledge of how
to spray, when to spray and what
to spray with is essential.
Ono type of insect ia the sucker
which druws aap from the plants
through u bill just as the mosquito
draws blood from a person.
The other typo of insect is a
chewer which eats the leaves and
blossoms of the plant just as a cow
browses on grass in the pasturo.
The two types of insects nro entirely
different in their methods of
feeding, and to poison them, two
entirely different methods must be
used.
Kiiling the chewing tyno of insect
is relatively simple. I/cad
arsenate or similar poison is mixed
with water and sprayed on the
feeding grounds of the chewing insects?whifh
means that leaves,
blossoms and tender stems should
be covered thoroughly. When tho
spray dries, the poison is left behind
all ready for the visiting
chewer. He take3 the poison witn
his meal and in due time symptoms
of poisoning develop and the insect
or worm falls off the plant dead. I
The sucking1 type ox insect calls
for another type of attack. His f>ill
goes right through the layer of
poison on the leaf surface, so no
matter how thick such poison may
bo, the sucker type goes unharmed.
For sucking insects add a teaspoonful
of Black Leaf 40 to a gallon of
water. Add a little soap, for soap
suds spreads better than plain water.
This mixture will kill the sucking
insects which have soft bodiea
and therefore are especially ?p??
to1 attack.
In small Gardens can be dug' up
from around plants and
destroyed by hand.

Over 2.000,000 cords of pulpwood are needed
in 1943 to package food, supplies and
munitions for overseas shipment. Greater
quantities of pulpwood are necessary for
making rayon for parachutes; medical
dressings for treating sick and wounded soldiers

planning of submarines, ships and planes;
paper for shell cases; and a thousand other

thirty-five 105 MM. shells or 7,500 rounds of j
ammunition for a Garand rifle. Your cord of ] j
