THE ENEMY-RELAXATION
One of the reasons why wars
last as long as they do is because
the human as a rule is a poor
down-hill” fighter. While the
going is hard and “up-hiU” he will
fight like a maniac, but as soon as
things begin to look easy he
relaxes. This human trait applies
not only to the mass but to the
individual. An army will get the
enemy on the run and will almost
invariably begin to slow up and
take it easy . . . The individual
does the same thing—whether he
be fighting, or racing, or playing
tennis or golf or pinochle. The
result is that the opponent catches
his breath and is able to prolong
the encounter and often to win it.

we stood. Some rumors had it
that our whole Pacific fleet was
destroyed and that our offensive
capacity in that ocean was finish
ed. It looked dark until Secretary
Knox returned from Honolulu
with the more encouraging facts.
During that dark period every
breathing American was rushing
into that part of the “battle”
where he thought he could be
most useful. Congress was func
tioning like a rapid fire gun; labor
w r as tabooing all strikes and en
listment stations were jammed.
Women and men, old and young,
who couldn’t make the fighting
forces, were volunteering for home
defense. Red Cross and other
patriotic organizations.
This same spirit is still in the
ascendancy at the time of this
writing, and if it “stays put” the
war wtfn’t last as long as it will
if we become too confident and
relax every time we get ahead.
There is no denying the un
pleasant fact that the Germans
had been gaining steadily in
practically every theater of the
war. Suddenly—for reasons which
we will know some day—they “re
laxed” for a few moments on the
eastern front and the Russians
grabbed the offensive from than
and have beer, driving them back
ever since. Let us pray the Rus
sians don’t stop for a breathing
spell.
The British troops have never
let up for a moment since they
took the initiative away from the
“relaxing” Axis atrmfes in north
ern Africa, and it looks at this
time as though they did not In
tend to give the enemy a single
moment in which to wrest that
initiative from them.
The Japanese—at the moment—
are doing most of the “pushing
around” in the western Pacific,
but our turn will come if and
when they ever get what would
appear to be dangerously ahead in
that sphere. They will relax.
“Wars are lost more often than
they are won”—by which is meant
that in the majority of cases the
loser has handed the victory to
the enemy on the silver platter of
inertia: and inertia is nearly al
ways the result of over-confidence.
The Napoleoriic wars illustrate
what a determined nation and a.
great leader can do if they never
“let up” from the time of the first
attack until the enemy is finish
ed. This must be America’s dish.
We have the ingredients.
—Buy Defense Bonds—
.the deciding factor in this., war;
that, while presen,t supplies are
well capable of our present needs,
the Nation must insure ample
supplies a year or two hence.
Another thing urged by the Con
ference is that every effort be
made to plan Victory gardens so
as to make them fit in closely with
the Nutrition Committees and
Civilian Defense Councils in each
state and community.
The Victory Garden Program
offers the widest possible wartime
participation to citizens jiot en
gaged in the military service, or
emergency services of civilian de
fense. The Conference called on
youth groups—such as the 4-H
Clubs, Future Farmers of America,
3oy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and all
other such patriotic groups.
Mr. Schilletter reminds garden
ers that they can get information
from the county agricultural
agents and the home demonstra
tion agents on when to plant and
how to plant vegetables and fruits
and he calls special attention to

Efficient Soils Must
Have Organic Matter
Clemson, Jan.. 5.—Soils, like
people, must be healthy to pro
duce efficiently, and organic mat
ter is essential to make and keep
soils healthy.
So declares C. G. Peebles, assis
tant- agronomist of the Clemson
College Extension Service, adding
that one of the essential differ
ences between a poor and a rich
soil lies in the organic content.
Five important reasons why
organic matter in the soil is so
important are given by Mr.
Peebles.

organic matter in order that w^e
