Geneva, Still City Of Conferences,
Recalls Century Of Historical Events
Though the United Nations |
Building in New York has became
the hub of world politics, mountain- j

mecca for iirtei-nattonal con(et
ences.
Leaders travel' from all over the
world to the medium-size Swiss city
to discuss problems in fields rang- 1
ing from child health and tele-com- '
munications to the peaceful uses of
nuclear energy and the East-West
struggle* in Europe.
Latest high-level consultation
scheduled for Geneva is the May
meeting of the "Big Four" foreign
ministers. The agenda recalls that
of the Summit Conference of July,
1955, when the city played host to
four chiefs of goverament-Ameri
can, British, French, and Russian.
Then, as now, divided Germany and
European security loomed over
other issues.
Geneva got its start as a meeting
place for international exchange ,
and cooperation in 1863, Says the
National Geographic Society.
A native son, Jean Henri Dunant,
who later received the first Nobel
Peaoe Prize, brought together rep
resentatives of different countries
to devise ways to help the sick and
wounded in war. The result was the
International Red Cross.
In 1872, another famous confer
ence arbitrated United States
claims against the British for Civil
War Damage. The case involved
the British-built Alabama and other
ships engaged by the Confederate
Navy to destroy Union shipping. A
commission comprised of members
from Brazil, Italy, and Switzerland
awarded the United States $15,500.
000.
Geneva's Golden Afte in interna
tional politics came after World
War I, when, as the home of the
League of Nations. It echoed the
pronouncements and decisions of
Europe's leading statesmen.
During the most of the League's
lifetime, meetings were held in a
former Genevese hotel renamed the
Palais Wilson in honor of the Amer
ican President whose greatest hope
was to create an effective league
of nations, bat whose own country
refused to participate.
An imposing new marble-and-gran
ite Palais des Nations was opened
in 1936 as the League's permanent
seat. Already, however, disputes and
withdrawals had fatally weakened
the organization. Though not form
ally dissolved until 1946, the League
of Nations was moribund at the
onset of World War n. Its expeb
sive building seemed destined to
become an international white ele
phant.
Today, the enlarged Palace of
Nations, containing hundreds of
rooms and huge assembly halls,
pulses with activity as the European
headquarters of the United Nations.
On special occasions, such as the
current Big Four meeting, part of
the building is reserved for visiting
delegations' uae.
Besides the U.N. and other inter
government agencies permanently
quartered in Geneva, scores of in
terrirfloaaf organizations? business,
religions, and humanitarian? also
maintain offices there.

FARM FILLERS
QUESTION: Will the government
support the price of certain tobacco
varieties again this year at half the
normal support rate?
ANSWER: Yes. The "discounted"
varieties will be supported at one
half the normal rate in 1959. The
responsibility for identification of
tobacco grOwn on the farm rests
with the farmer. Every farmer mus1
sign a certifiate declaring that he
has or has not planted a discount

Many Migrant Butterflies And Moths
Take To Their Air Waves During Spring
Many butterflies and moths are
notorious tourist. Yet little is known
about their travels.
In autumn billions of the frail
insects take off In rainbow hordes
for places that are hundreds, even
thousands of miles distant. In spring
time, as food plants thrust from
the warming earth, individuals
gradually rise on faded, travel
worn wings to start home. It is not
known definitely whether any of
them live long enough to complete
the round trip.
The search for food causes sea
sonal migration in a few cases. But
none of the 205-odd migrant species
of Lepidoptera show the same pat
terns of behavior. In general the im
pulse to migrate may come from
deep-rooted instinct or external
factors such as overcrowding. An
other suggestion is that the insects
are fleeing from predators in the
instinctive hope offmiiltiplying else
where in peace.
Whatever the motive, butterflies
and moths apparently know where
they're going. Rather than veer
from their course, butterflies have
been seen flying through railroad
tunnels, up and over trees, and

Some of the most spectacular mi
grations in nature pass over the
Smithsonian Institution's wildlife
reserve on Barro Colorado Island,
Panama Canal Zone. Mayriad big
| black-and-green muths fly over it
in movements that continue day and
night. No one knows whence the
dark iridescent clouds come or
where they go.
A more familiar American gada
bout is the Monarch butterfly,
which soars afar on black and
burnt-orange wings. It has crossed
seas to establish itself on Cape
Verde and Madeira in the Atlantic
and widely scattered islands of the
Pacific.
North American Monarchs winter
in Florida and other Gulf Coast
States. Jn early spring the survivors,
mostly female, straggle northward,
laying eggs on fresh young milk
week plants as they go. Their pro
geny progress through the caterpil
lar and pupa stages then take up
the relay. By late June or July the
young Monarchs have scattered to
the species' northern limit in Cana
da and still another brood develops.
The new generation flies southward
on age-old migration routes, often
stopping overnight in the samr
trees where their ancestors stayed.
The Painted Lady of Europe spans
the Mediterranean. In springtime,
swarms originate somewhere in
Africa, descend on the coastal
areas in April, and fly to Europe.
Some carry on to Icelan^.
Like the Monarch .the Painted
Lady hides out in Mexico or be

fornia in the spring. Its caterpillars
aren't finicky about food. They like
thistle, sunflower, burdock, and
hollyhock equally well.
Other migrants include the Cloud

unwelcome Cotton Leafworm Moth.
Spring lures these moths from
their unknmv tropical American
home, and tliev breed several gen
erations in cotton fields. Then, in
explicably. they get wanderlust.
Millions appear in the Northeastern
States and Canada, areas where
it would seem impossible that a
single one could survive.
Farm Questions
QUESTION: How does the tobacco
disease problem look so far this
year?
ANSWER: Blue mold has been
reported in all counties of the Border
and Eastern Belts. No reportts so
far from the Middle and Old Belts.
Anthracnose has been found in John
ston County near Angier. Damping
off has been reported from practical
ly all counties in the Border and
Eastern Belts. Weather conditions
recently have been favorable for the
spread of these diseases. Further
spred of blue mold and anthracnose
may be expected. All farmers shou|d
treat their plant beds with fungicide*
containing ferbam. zineb, or man
eb.
QUESTION: I have had some
damage to exposed leaves in my to
bacco plant beds. Is It anthracnose?
ANSWER: If the spots are confin
ed to the leaves, probably not. An
thracnose causes light to dark browR
circular spots on the leaves and
elongated dark brown spots on the
midribs and stems. The spots 'you
refer to are probaby another kind
of leaf spot that affects tender
plants that have been subjected to
heavy rains, followed by cool, wfndy
weather.

Friends Chief
Reason For
Outdoor Living
The chief reason for the current
vogue for outdoor living la the
"making of friends" amidat the re
laxed atmosphere of beautiful gar
dens, terraces or patios. Outdoor
friendliness. The housewife can re
living is conductive to neighborhood
lax while entertaining and yet ex
press her individuality in ber choice
of lovely shrubs, trees and other
plants with which she "furnishes"
the outdoor living area.
"Furnishing" the outdoor living
room with lovely plants is still a
bargain for the home owner who
carefully selects and plans what he
or she wishes to achieve.
Once the living area is planted
it will be beautiful for many years
if properly cared for. One may
plant for permanence; or plantt for
j semi-permanence by changing the
smaller shrubs after three to five
years in order tu achieve new ef
fects of color or shrub form.
Costs depend upon the elaborate
ness of the planting and other
structures and furnishings that may
be desired. A dozen attractive
shrubs and a few trees may suffice
for a small outdoor living area at a
cost well under $100.

SBA Tells Plan
For Firms To
Get More Sales
Clarenc* P. Moore. Richmond
Regional Director of the Small Busi
ness Administration has announced
a new program to help small busi- 1
ness firms obtain a greater share of
sales of Government-owned timber
and related products by setting
aside certain proposed sales exclus
ively for small business competition.
This new program will be inaugu
rated on May 1.
This activity is a direct outgrowth
door living area is strongly urged
tu plan it thoroughly, or have it
professionally planned, if possible
Thorough planning will save time
and money.
Here are some things to think
about:
1. Locate the outdoor living
area properly. Notice the position
of the sun with respect to the area,
as well as the direction of the pre
vailing winds. Select a comfortable
spot.
1. If you plan the picnic type ol
dining and entertaining, the ares
may be at some distnnce from the
house, the back of the lot, fur ex
ample. If there is considerable en
tertaining of neighbors and friends,
it should be located near the house,
preferably near the kitchen or off
the dining room.
3. Notice the direction from
which the sun shines in the months
and during the time of day you
use the outdoor area the most:
and then plant trees, or use exist
ing trees to provide shade where
you want it.
01 ? utree-aiy cooperative ?r?.
meat between the SBA. the Foreat
Service of tbe Department of Agri
culture and the Bureau of Land
Management of the Department of
the Interior.
The action is in accordance with
the Small Business Act of 19S1 which
authorizes the Small Business Ad
ministration to expand its former
set-aside procedures for proposed
Government prime contracts to in
clude proposed Government sales
aiul leases.
Under this new program Ihe SBA
Mill initiate joint set-asides for pur
chase of Gov eminent -ow ned timber
by small business concerns after
a review by the agency of the cut
ting and sales programs of the Pur
est Service and the Bureau of
Land Management. Final sales de
terminations. however, will rust
with the latter two agencies.
Implementation of procedures,
regulations and manuals governing
tile operation of the uew activity
were co-ordinated and finalized at
a Joint meeting of including field
representatives of Ihe agencies in
volved on April 24 at Denver, Colo
Under the adopted regulations all
regulations all bids by small firm*
must carry a self certification that
the firm is small by SBA standards
and must meei the basic require
i ments of the Forest Service or the

timber.
Protect stored grain from insects.
Tobacco plants should be treated
for insects just before setting in
the field.
