THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Nitrogen Starved Com Produces Small Ears Lack of Nitrogen May Show Up Early in Crop (Second of Two Articles) The ear of corn and the leaf shown in the photo below tell a plain story of nitrogen starvation. The soil didn’t supply the nitrogen the crop needed, so unmistakable signs are evident on both the ear and the leaf. The ear ef this nitrogen-starved corn is short, but the kernels are well-filled and the ear has fair finish. Nature has an uncanny way of regulating the size of the ear to mm •->j m mm Citrus Fruit Processors Develop New Cattle Feed Florida’s concentrated citrus fruit processors have found a gold mine from what was once a complete food loss. In so doing so, the processors are solving one of the citrus indus try’s most troublesome problems. The problem had to do with the dis posal of hundreds of tons of orange, grapefruit and other citrus fruit rinds, pulp and seeds. Hie end result has been the de velopment of a new cattle—beef and dairy—feed that is making cattle healthier and increasing the amount of milk per cow. The new process dries and grinds seeds, pulp and rind of citrus fruit into a dry feed that has die appear ance of cereal flakes. During the process, a juice is pressed from the former waste residue and evapo rated into a citrus “molasses.” Aft er the process is completed the'dry feed is put up in 100-pound bags. <- ^!§j§r- * >. ■ * s; mi The jeep is challenging other equipment in the important farm operation of spraying to control weeds and insects.

DOMESTIC PROBLEMS Human Relations Center Set Up At University of Pennsylvania match the amount of nitrogen avail able when the ears are shooting. This is its insurance for seed an other year. When nitrogen is lacking the mid dle of the leaf turns yellow and dies. Signs of nitrogen starvation can show on the com any time from the knee-high stage to maturity. Early hints are skinny stalks and pale green leaves. “Firing” of the lower leaves is another sign, although it is often mistakenly blamed on drouth. You can add more nitrogen for your corn in three ways: (1) By having more well-fertilized deep- rooted legumes in the rotation; (2) By using more manure; (3) By us ing fertilizer carrying nitrogen. The point to remember is that no matter how much nitrogen the com gets, it cannot build strong roots and stalks and fill out kernels unless it has plenty of phosphate and potash, too. Besides adding nitrogen, well-fed deep-rooted legumes such as alfalfa and sweet clover unlock tightly packed clay soils below the plow layer and let air and water in. Kansas Farmers Get $2 Million for Wheat Damage Kansas farmers whose 1951 wheat acreage is insured with the federal crop insurance corporation are ex pected to receive more than $2,000,- 000 in total indemnities for losses sustained during the current crop year. More than 300,000 acres of dam aged wheat has been released in the state by the corporation. Release depends upon the extent of damage to insured land. A human relations center, the first of its kind ever organized in this country to provide a complete serv ice to communities faced with racial and religious conflicts, has been established at the University of Pennsylvania. The new development in meeting “the outstanding problem in demo cratic life” is known as the Albert M. Greenfield Center for Human Relations, it was announced by Harold E. Stassen, president of the university and Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, president of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. It will start its work in Septem ber. Its program was made pos sible, through the combined finan cing of the Philadelphia area office of the National Conference, the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and Albert M. Greenfield, a Philadelphia real tor and civic leader. The governing body of the center is an executive committee consist ing of two representatives each from the university, the National Conference of Christians and Jews, and the community.

Dr. Clinchy said. “They will provide communities with scientific resources for treat ing tensions and conflicts in the same way that a modern medical center guards the public health.” He explained that the center would conduct research activities, train students in intergroup prob lems, serve the community in meeting' situations growing out of group conflict, and test existing methods for meeting these prob lems. “While the centers would be equipped to study the causes and treatment of chronic social disease like prejudice, discrimination and racism,” Dr. Clinchy said, “basical ly they would be concerned v/ith preventive measures for correct ing and eliminating conditions that lead to hostilities in social rela tions.” Members of the executive com mittee representing the National Conference are Mr. Greenfield and Dr. Tanner G. Luckrey, assistant to the Board of Superintendents of the Board of Education of Philadel phia. sswoflD mm LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ACROSS 1. Attribute 6. Narrow path alpng top of a scarp 10. Banish 11.

Wilkinson M R. and Mrs. Rcscoe Hardy found themselves in a sad predica ment. For years they had solved the problem of summer vacations by visiting friends and relatives. They had made a career of it. They were professional guests. But now the end had come. The Hardy’s were no longer welcome where once they had en- 3 Minute Fiction joyed economical weeks of rest. The future looked black. The Hardy’s bank account was never lower. Then Roscoe had an idea. He remembered that once upon a time he had an Uncle Ralph. Rumors drifted in, unfounded, that Uncle Ralph had gone to Alberta, Canada, established himself in the wheat business and prospered. Now then, thought Roscoe, why not restore Uncle Ralph to the good graces of the family circle? Why not cook up a story about Uncle Ralph suddenly dying and making Roscoe and Mrs. Roscoe sole heirs to his millions? Why not mention this in a letter to Cousin Beatrice and Chauncey Hardy, who lived in Philadelphia and who had practi cally evicted them two years ago? And if it worked on Beatrice and Chauncey, why not try it on other relatives? Mrs. Roscoe Hardy had al ways been rather grudging about handing out compliments to her husband. But she had to admit that this plan was de serving of a lot of credit. She even agreed to write the letter to Beatrice herself. “ and as you probably know,” Mrs. Roscoe wrote, “dear Uncle Ralph, who has been living in Al berta these past 20 years, passed GRASSROOTS There Is Hope '52 Election Will Oust Wastrels By Wright A. Patterson D ESPITE all the needs for econo my, consistently urged by the President, the executive department at Washington does not practice any of the President’s admonitions that he insists are necessary on the part of every American. In government the waste goes merrily on, with Gen. George Mar shall’s department of defense lead ing the way. As an example: Re cently the army wanted several mil lion pounds of margarine for the troops in Korea. The purchasing agent of the army purchased the several million pounls at a price of 25 cents a pound. Within a few min utes walk of the Pentagon building. Secretary Brannan, secretary of agriculture, sold at approximately the same time, just about the same number of pounds of grade A-l creamery butter to Italy at 15 cents a pound. That butter had been pur chased by the department to keep the price of butter up to the Ameri can consumer. Had it been provided for our armed forces, the result on the home market would have been the same as selling it to Italy. Such transactions represent unnecessary waste. Hundreds of such items have been dug out of the records by members of congress, and are aired on the floors of both the senate and house. It is the air ing of such items that causes the careful scrutiny of appro* ptlation bills. Last year the navy purchased paint enough to paint all naval ships several times over. The surplus, and more, was sold to a German cdn- cem. When it was found that too much had been sold, at a price of less than one third the original pur chase price, navy purchasing agents bought that same paint back from the German concern at better than three times the price at which it had been sold. Wastel Waste! Waste! through all the adminis trative departments of government, and no one called on the carpet be cause of it. The total runs into many millions and possibly billions, tor all of which the tax payers must pay. Senator George (D) of Georgia says the administrative depart ments can easily cut six billions from their budget demands, and that there will be no additional taxes voted until that six billion cut has been made. That demanded six billion cut does not include any de fense rearmament expenditures, which could cover another six bil lion. Despite the evidence of waste the President continues to call for more and larger appropriations, more taxes, that the nation may be saved from the dangers of inflation. He does not recognize that government purchasing of commodities creates a shortage, quite as much as in dividual demands, only the excess demands of government, is far greater than is the hoarding pur chases of the individuaL From what school of economists does he select his advisers? Each one of the hundreds of items of sheer waste that congress Is seeing are but a drop in the in flationary rainstorm, but the total of them constitutes a flood. It takes desire for economies on the part of executive heads from the President down. Those who do not have such a desire, those who are responsible for the waste to be found in the executive departments of government, should be severely disciplined for waste in their de partments, but such is not the way of politics, and the rule of today in Washington is “politics as usual”, regardless. The coming national election might contain hopes for improve ment, hopes for a radical reduction in the army of inefficient bureauc rats, but the Republicans are mak ing no promises. They are not in terested in a reduction in the bu reaucratic army, only in effecting a change in the personnel of that vast army of moi'e than 2,300,000. They now -epresent Democratic votes, when the personnel is changed they will represent Repub lican votes, but be equally as inef ficient. * Gen. Ridgway will not be dis missed for not following President ial directives, though doing so brings dishonor and defeat to America. * -The first automobile club was started in Chicago in 1895. * Our fear of war with Russia is home grown. Roscoe gulped. “It’s—it’s that relative that’s visiting them.** away a month ago and has made us sole heirs to his millions. Natural ly we are upset at the news of his death, and would like to come to Philadelphia for a week or two to rest up and visit you.” Less than three days elapsed be fore Mrs. Roscoe had a reply. “Darling Grace,” Beatrice wrote, “news of dear Uncle Ralph’s death has upset us terribly. Of course you need a rest. And both Chauncey and I will be delighted to have you as our guests for a? long as you want to stay, despite the fact that at present we have other relatives visiting us. Chauncey and I can sleep in the day bed in the living room.” “Humph!” Mrs. Roscoe folded the letter with a look of triumph. I T WAS a long drive to Phila delphia; and Roscoe had been able to borrow barely enough to get them there. But the future now loomed bright. There would be a pleasant month of relaxation, free from worry about the cost of meals, and always there was the possi bility of being able to touch Chaun- eey for a hundred or two. And after that, more relatives, more pleasant times, and more touches. Roscoe figured they could work their pres ent scheme for at least a year in safety, while the “estate” was be ing settled. The Roscoe Hardys arrived in Philadelphia late one rainy night and drove up to Cousin Chauncey's with glad expectancy. The place was brightly lighted. Roscoe bonked his horn shrilly and had the satisfaction of seeing Cousin Chauncey jump to his feet and rush to the door. “I’ll go up and get Chauncey to come out for our luggage,” Roscoe told his wife.” Roscoe climbed out of the car and ran through the pelting rain to the house. He disappeared in side, while Mrs. Roscoe waited. She waited perhaps three minutes and then became irritable. What was the idea? she asked herself. What kind of a reception was this for the heirs of millions? The front door suddenly bnrst open and Roscoe came hurtling down the walk. Breathing heavily, Roscoe climbed into the car. There was a wild look in his eyes. “For heaven’s sake, what’s hap pened?” Mrs. Roscoe demanded. “What’s the matter?” Roscoe gulped. “It’s—ft's that— relative that’s visiting them.” “Relative? Who—oh, the one Beatrice spoke about in her letter. Well, what about it? Who Is it, anyway?” Roscoe gasped again, this time not entirely from lack of breath. “It’s Uncle Ralph!” he blurted. Easy Does It Successful fly fishing in summer, or at any other season, begins with a leisurely study, sizeup or “read ing” of the stream which should tell the fisherman something about where trout are lying, what they may be doing at the moment and what they are taking in the way of food. Sometimes it is possible to get the answers to all these questions at a glance. At other times only a stray clue here and there indicates the general type of fly to be used and the method of fishing it. For all practical fishing purposes a trout’s life may be divided into three activities—resting, eating and spawning. When resting, a trout lies in quiet, rest-conducive water and is reluctant to move. When eating he moves into water that produces food, and strikes readily at moving objects which have the appearance of food. At spawning time, he seeks still another kind of water and pays little attention to food, although other species may follow along to feast on the eggs which are de posited in the gravel on the bottom of the stream. Fly fishermen have scant fun with spawning trout, or with their camp followers. Looks for Signs Upon reaching a stream an ex perienced angler looks for signs of working trout. He looks closely in the riffles, in the slick currents above and below the riffles, in the tail-end of pools and in water dose under the banks. If trout are feeding on the surface they are easily seen because they break the water and often jump clear out of file water. If they are feeding deep it is not so easy to see them because the re fraction of light in the riffle and on the surface conceals activity on the bottom. But even when trout are feeding deep, a patient angler can spot them. His trained eyes catch the momentary flash of a trout's side as it turns against the current, or they may pick up a tail fin break ing the surface. A pair of polaroid glasses helps cut through the sur face glare. It is of course obvious that deep feeding fish will respond best to deep-fished flies. Tailing fish—those Which expose a tail fin as they stand on their head to take food—are nos ing the bottom for nymphs or feed ing on those which have broken loose and are swimming toward the surface. Surface feeding fish are gorging cm hatches of new summer flies emerging from the water or on old flies which are laying their eggs on the surface of the water. Trout lying lazily in deep, still pools rarely bite on flies or any thing else. These pools are usually resting places. Trout seen there are probably well fed and torpid. They move out to more productive waters when their hunger is aroused. Observes Conditions The successful fly fisherman ob serves all these natural conditions before he starts fishing. He fishes his flies where fish are working at file moment, and selects his flies to imitate the appearance of the insects which currently attract the trout. By this manner of fishing the fly, he approximates the natural action of the insect itself. For deep-feeding trout, a fisher man’s most successful fly will often be one of the hair flies, tied to imi tate caddis-fly larvae, rock worms, stone-fly, larvae or other such creatures which spend their youth on the bottom of the stream. For the midsection—between bot tom and surface—best patterns are flies like the l grey hackle, the nymphs, and the slim-bodied single-wing flies. On the top-deck—on the surface or just beneath it—best patterns are the divided-wing flies. The flies in each of these classifi cations call for a fishing technic of Jtheir own. The hair flies commonly jwork best when fished close to the bottom. It in ay take a split shot to put them there. The nymphs and hackles bring results when fished from bottom to surface. The di vided wing wet flies are fished just under the surface. Dry flies, of course, are fished dry, floating on the surface and in ijp other way, as explained in a subsequent article. The simplest way to fish a wet fly is to cast across the stream, allow ing the current to catch the fly and swing it down and back across to the near side. While this is the sim plest way it is not always the best way, but on fairly large streams such as the Rio Grande, the Gunni son and others of like size, it is just as good as any other. For smaller streams, the angler will do better if he fishes his fly directly up stream, allowing the current to bring the fly down toward him. AAA For The Beginner Except in unusual circumstances, the beginning fly fisherman should always use two snelled flies, tied with short gut loops, and with about a seven and one-half foot leader. One of these flies, the bottom one, is called the terminal fly, the other, the “dropper.” The dropper fly is attached to the top dropper loop. A cast of two flies is suggested to the beginner because trout some times reluctant to hit a single fly, will strike when two are offered. THE WEEK ?n iRelinion O NE OF CHRIST’S most charac teristic utterances was: “I have compassion on the multitude.” Throughout His entire ministry, the Master not only displayed His ten der regard for even the least of men, but exhorted all who would follow Him to “show mercy and compas sion, every man to his brother.” The world needs compassion to day. Compassion is not mere pity. It is tinderstanding and sympathy. It is the readiness to help others, to throw off the lethargy of indiffer ence, to think fii terms of genuine neighborliness rather than of self.

Asks Commutation For Mercy Killer EASTON, Pa. — Fifty-eight Pennsylvania clergymen signed a petition urging commutation of the sentence of Harold Mohr, who is serving six to 12 years in prison for the “mercy-killing” of his cancer-ridden brother, Walter, in Coply, near here. The jury in con victing him had recommended mercy. Some of the ministers and rabbis who signed the petition expressed strong belief that Mohr should be freed. One minister said, that, in gen eral, he sympathized with mercy killing. “I felt that the public thinking on this big problem is muddy,” he said in reference to his signing of the petition. “I felt it ought to be brought more to our attention.

The riot grew out of an attempt by a Negro family to move into an apartment building in Cicero. A mob of 3,000 persons invaded the building, smashed and burned the family’s furniture and broke win dows. “In the name of God Who judges us all, we confess our failure to live according to His law of brotherhood and love,” the federation statement said. “We confess and accept our share of responsibility for this breakdown of basic morality in the community.” The statement commended “our fellow Negro citizens for their re straint in a provocative metropoli tan situation caused by mob vio lence.” It urged them “to keep steady in the future and to avoid actions that in any way would place responsibility on their shoulders.** Religion Question Box Q: How are Baptists organized?
