Apparently, it will be only a ques tion of time before French life is reorganized along the lines of Nazi Germany. Propaganda will gradually convince the people that the nation was misled in the war by Democratic England. In time, unless the grip of Hitler is released, democracy will be a byword in France. WBY NOT PRAISE VIRTUES? One of the traits of human beings is the habit of critiaing others. Nearly every individual can find some fault with friends and relatives. This is an are that is easy to acquire. What most of us difficult is the art of seeing good in others. Everybody has excellent qualities, regardless of their faults, and it might be better ail around if we attempted to dis cover virtues rather than faults. Human nature being what it is there is a natural tendency bo over estimate our own virtues, which we know and take pride in, and to com pletely lo9e sight of similar virtues in others, of which we know not. It is impossible, despite the magic ians, to lode at an individual and read his mind, much less his soul. Why take the chance? SELECTIVE SERVICE IS DEMOCRATIC We are utterly unable to follow the mental gymnastics of those who op pose the Selective Service Bill on the ground that it will destroy the liberty and freedom of Amerilans. Here we have a great democracy, facing an uncertain peril, and the dire need for trained men for its national defense. In a democracy the duty of every citizen is identical. What could be fairer than to select an ariny based upon the universal obligation of every citizen to defend his country? What loss of liberty will oome to any young man who is selected, under the law, aa qualified for one year's training in the armed forces of his country? It is essential for the people of the United States to understand that the liberties of a people exist because the ultimate direction of Government and the definition of policies rest upon the approval of the people. If the people of the United States, in their exercise of power, conclude that it is necessary for the safety of the United States to train a million men in arms, the undertaking should be effectively dona There is a vast batman n dictator order ing.the people of hia country undri arms and the mandate of a frae peo ple prescribing the regulations nndai which ritisens must aarve their na tion.

Rowell, ex tension entomologist of State College. Already damage has been wide spread and severe in many of the Eastern counties. Spider injury us ually occurs from the middle of June until the middle of September, bul considerable damage was reportee thin year as early as June 1st. Rowell explained that in heavily infested fields the damage consist) of rusting and dropping of the leavei sometimes complete defoliatioi r and death of the plants in affectee ; portions d the field. The presence of the pest is firs evidenced by the appearance of red 1 dish spots on the upper surface o: ' the leaves. As the attack incrNuem 1 the leavee become rusty brown, curl i and finally drop. This injury result : the insect extracts juio ? from the plant leaves. Where red spiders have gain? ? entrance into cotton fields, control caj f be secured through the use of severs ? applications oi dusting sulphur. Thi material should be applied to the un I denbk of the leavee with any cor r venient rotary-type hand duster o ' machine duster that can be regulate H to direct the dust on the under em i face of the leaves. From 10 to 1 ' pounds of dust sre required per acr ? of application. Two treatments ? 1 weakly intervals are usually suit 1 dent to wipe out the insects. ? ^an^ic^ ht> I pntt&tnX for Otlilrattrm., *Hyde*r. there u>as SSS&fc. Wly Hews Growers Make Ready To Sow Winter Peas Austrian' winter peas will play a major role in protecting North Caro lina farm land aganst the ravages of soil erosion during the cold bleak months, says E. C. Blair, agronomist of the State College Extension Ser vice. Already growers ' have ordered more than 1,500,000 pounds of Aus train pea seed through the AAA's grant-of-aid program for spreading a green blanket over their unprotected (lands this winter. I Blair said the seed should be planted between September 1st and I October 15, the earlier the better. On land where they have never been grown before, the seed should be broadcast a? the rate of 30 to 40 pounds to. the acre. Twenty to 30 pounds is enough when drilling peas, or when broadcasting on land that is well-inoculated. The seed must be inoculated unless they are sown on land that is already inoculated. Land inoculated for vetch or for garden peas (May peas) does not require inoculation for Austrian peas. Although this legume is a soil builder, it will pay to use some fer tilizer under the crop. On good soils of the Coastal Plain, Blair recom mends 200 pOunds per acre of an 0-8-6 mixture. For poor soils, he sug gests 200 pounds of a 4-8-6 fertilizer. Austrian peas may be planted after corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, soy beans, cowpeas, and other crops. They may be turned under in time to plant the same crops they followed, with the erception of tobacco and in some counties cotton. 37th Farm-Home Week Hailed As Best Ever Two thousand farm men and women are back home with memories of what most of them hailed as the best Farm and Home Week ever held at N. C. State College in the 37 years of the history of this annual event. With few exceptions, every one of North Carolina's 100 counties was represented at the convention just ' held in Raleigh. , W. L. Lyerly, of Woodleaf, Rowan County, was elected president of the Farmer's group, with T. B. Upchurch, > Jr., of Raeford, being elevated to the 1 ^ice-presidency, and J. M. Picker, of Stanly County, was elected second vice-president. Dan M. Paul of State ? College was continued as secretary and treasurer and P. H. Jeter was re-named publicity director. " Among the speakers heard by the . farm people during the week were Clyde R. Hoey; Governor-nominate J. . M. Broughton; R. M. Evans, Federal . AAA administrator; Col. John Hall Manning of the N. C. National Guard; * the Rev. John C. Glenn of Raleigh; J Dean R. B. House of the University ' of North Carolina; Jonathan Daniels, editor and author, and many others who addressedv, special groups. About 600 county and community ?AA committeemen attended the convention and held three afternoon sessions at which phases of the Agri cultural Conservation Program were discussed and recommendations for improvements made. Carl Olsen, of the National Defense Commission and several National and regional AAA leaders spoke before this group. The . resolutions committee took note of one lack when it recom mended that an auditorium to seat at least 5,000 persons be built on the State College campus. The general assemblies were held in Pullen Hall, which seats only about 1,300, and in Riddick Stadium which cannot be used in bad weather. Loud speakers enabled those unable to gain entrance to Pullen Hall for the morning pro grams to hear the talks and dis cussions. ? . ?
