THE SENATOR'S TOGA IS SHOWING
By Bob White of the UJ5. Press Association
In the continuous struggle to catch up with our reading,
we have just come across a diatribe by Senator Willis
Smith, (Dem.) of North Carolina, on page 8470 of the
Congressional Record of June 27th. It is on the subject of
"canned" editorials in "small" newspapers, and which he
considers a species of lobbying. Obviously, the particular
editorial (approving the presidential veto of the new
Immigration Act) to which he referred, ran counter to his
own sentiments.
It so happens our own views on this legislation are simi
lar to Senator Smith's but we can not accept his disparage
ment of "canned" editorials without squirming, or agree
that the use of such syndicated material is "lobbying", or
that it is by any means confined to "small" papers.
The Senator's attitude, we feel is ungracious to those
who toil over such editorials, and unflattering to the grass
roots editors of America, who, as we may have mentioned
before, we place at the very top of our citizenry in intelli
gence, responsibility aand patriotism, to say nothing of
selfless Dublic service.
We know of no editor who will run an editorial that
violates his principles or his conscience. We know of no
contract that requires him to do so. And certainly, Senator
Smith himself will recognize (when he stops to think
about it) that difference of opinion are equally essential to
a free press, and to the usefulness of the U. S. Senate.
As for the "lobbying" charge, this activity, we have al
ways believed, is the practice of exerting direct and per
sonal pressure on legislators on behalf of a client or em
ployer. It is poles apart from presenting a controversial
viewpoint editorially in the press. A newspaper worthy of
the name has influence with its readers. It has influence
because those readers respect the judgment and integrity
of the editor, and are therefore impressed with his views
on national problems and look to him for clarification of
puzzling issues and policies. If his editorials are honest
and convincing, and readers make their agreement with
his opinions known to their Congressmen, that is true
democracy-in-action.
The fact that the overworked editor may present his
views in the words of another writer has nothing to do
with the case. The country editor, and the city editor as
well, who uses syndicated material in which he has con
fidence, is in the same impeccable position as Mr. Sulz
berger of the New York Times in relying on his staff of
editorial writers.

Your County
Agent Says
The regular armyworm has ap
peared in a few fields in Colum
bus County. Pastures in the Bethel
section are being eaten up by
armyworms.
While the infestations are not
widespread in any area growers
are urged to examine their fields
immediately and at frequent in
tervals. If stripping of the leaves
is evident check the base of the
plants at the ground level as the
caterpillars hide during the day
and feed late in the evening.
Fields having heavy, dense foilage
are most likely to be infested.
Corn or other crops near grain
fields should be watched for mi
gration of the worms. Grass in
fence rows and along the roadway
is often stripped when the pest
develops in such areas.
The adult stage, the armyworm
moth, lays its eggs in the heavy,
dense, grassy undergrowth. The
worms when they first hatch are
very small but in a few days will
develop into worms 1% inches
long. Worms Vz inch long will
feed for a week to 10 days.
A poisoned bait, spread late in
the evening at the rate of about
15 lbs. of wet bait to the acre, will
be found effective. It is made by
mixing 1 lb. paris green or white
arsenic (dry) with 25 lbs. wheat
bran (one-half of the bran may be
substituted with sawdust). Mix 1
pint of molasses with 2 gallons of
water and stir into bran poison
mixture. Add sufficient water to
make a crumbly mass which can
be sprend by hand. Broadcast ev
enly throughout the infested areas.
Do not leave in piles. Spread all
the bait each day. There will be
no harm to wildlife if spread
properly. This mixture may be
used where dust or spray equip
ment is not available or where
insecticide residue may be a haz
ard on crops.
ONE-FIFTH
OF NATION
DREADS AUGUST
Hay fever sufferers—now esti
mated to constitute an "ill-nosed
one-fifth of the nation" — have
about given up expecting any re
lief through medical or weedpull
ing projects as Awful August ap
proaches once more.
But spokesmen for one of tho
nation's newest and fastest-grow
ing industries are sounding a con
fident note of hope. Air condition
ing, they say, definitely is th >
answer.
According to John A. Gilbreath,
head of the air conditioning divi
sion at Servel, all-year air condi
tioning will provide complete re
leif because the filtering system
used with the aquipment is gu ir
anteed to remove 100 per cent of
the pollen particles in a home .
Spot checks by Servel engineers
of homes equipped with all-year
air conditioning have confirmed
laboratory findings, he report.·;,
adding that the filters will re
move dust particles even smaller
than the pollen.
"As a matter of fact we have
found that most of the people who
purchased the equipment did so
for the relief from hay fever and
asthma rather than for luxury
living," the Evansville, Ind., exe
cutive said.
One reason the subject of hay
fever has become of such nation
wide interest in recent years, he
added, is because of the trend to
ward suburban living. Many peo
ple, of necessity, have had to buy
homes in the suburbs because
these were the only ones available.
The result has been, in his .words,
"an increasing exposure of people
to ragweed and a sharp increase
in the number of victims.
Until recently, he said, medical
authorities suggested injections
with drugs but these were boul
expensive and time-consuming
because of frequent trips to the
doctor for administration.
Gilbreath said that one Chicago
physician, who is an authority on
the subject of hay fever, had sum
med up medical findings on the
subject with:
"Unfortunately there is little
opportunity for complete escape
from grass pollen except by stay
ing indoors with the windows and
doors shut."
"While this doctor was being
ironic, he was actually talking
about allyear air conditioning ι
since the windows and doors must
be shut if the equipment is to be
tion is to be realized
effective and if economy of ope/a
