- If you can believe all the newspapers and the major magazine
September, 1953 will be notable for one thing - the publication on
September 14 of their Kensey report, Sexual Behavior in the Human
' Female. Certainly no book ever published before has had such
fantastic publicity. Weeks before its publication, writers from every
important magazine. and newspaper went to Bloomington, Indiana
tot a p revue of the proof sheets. Shrouded wih all the hush-hush "
secrecy of an atom-bomb explosion, the bomb shell was released ,
last week the opinions of the journalists who had the opportunity
of an advance peek at Dr. Kinsey's findings. These opinions are
varied as some of the experiences of the women whose case histories
make up this new report but all of them seem' to agree that the
book will increase our understanding of sex and that it will help
, build more stable and happier marriages.' , , v : . - T
We shall reserve our judgement until we have read the book, but '
era have grave doubts that we shall be half as surprised at its find
ings as some of our Journalists would have us believe. The statistics
must all be taken with reservations - even Dr. Kinsey admits that In
his some 9,940 cases, there Is touch too high a ratio of college women
and women from, the higher economic levels to get any sort of a
ponn. It Js, as Ernest Haveman of Life Magazine points out, mostly
;ec"on ot ha habits of the younger, better-educated city women. -The
so-called surprise of this new report - and these writers would
have us believe that marriage counselors- and psychologists will be
surprised themselves - is that the average woman is far less interest
j Ti .,than Prevlously believed, that her sexual urges start later
fJin k.!"" th8n to0'0 toe - one reason why women
Should have younger husbands.

- Behavior of the Human Male wrote a heated letter which he quotes
: in his new tome saying that all he had done was to prove what she
and every-other right thinking woman 'had known all along, that
- the male population is a herd of prancing, leering goats, Well, that;
- Is far truer according to Dr. Kinsey that most of us have believed.
' The average woman can take sex or leave it alone - she marries
"to establish a home, to establish a long-time affectionate relation-
ship with a single spouse and to have children whose welfare, may
' become the prime business of her life."
' It seems that George .Noel Gordon, Lord Bryon, did not know
what he waa talking about when he wrote that too-oftea quoted bit
in his Don Juan, ----- ' ri ,
Man's love is of maifs life a thing apart; 5'
' ,; Tis woman's whole existence."- ' ." 1 1 , ' ' .
On the contrary, quite the reverse is true men are a lot more
concerned about sex than women, talk more about it, think more' .
' about it, are far more easily stimulated than women. After all men
not only read, they have also written most of the pornigraphic litera-
tune of the past two thousand years. Dr. Kinsey also found that men
responded to all kinds bf phenomena associated with sex to a far
greater degree when women, observing the opposite sex, clothed or
; nude, observing portrayals of nudes, observing burlesque shows -""
stimuli to which most of the women interviewed were completely
i indifferent. And if th Journalists are right, Dr. Kinsey says that ,
most men are baffled and hurt by this apparent indifference of . -
women - the fact that they are not moved by tne signt oi b spienaiu
physical specimen of a man on a beach, say, or perhaps In a wrest
ling match on television.','- .'-ic:: ' '
Well, we haven't read the book and ought not to Jump to any con
clusions about it but on this point we will stick out our neck. We .
believe that women are more discriminating, more personal, more
fastidious in their approach to sex - and are aroused not to the male '
sex but by a particular member of that sex 'for whom they feel,
affection,, companionship; a similarity of interests not necessarily ;
physical at all. We think that for most women sex is merely an out-
ward, physical manifestation of a unity that already exists, a spiritual,
oneness. The sexual relationship is one of the possible expressions
of love, it is more intimate,, more fundamental, more fraught with ';
consequences inner and outer, but essentially-one of the expressions
of love. It is neither something high and holy nor is it something
low and comtemptible. It is simply an organic function to be used
like all others for the expression Of personality in the service of
love. It seems to us that this is very important If, you make -It a ,
thing apart, to be mentioned only in whispers; or if you exalt It
romantically or debase it with feelings of contempt, if you single
out sex and make it something very, special or wonderful or shame
ful, you merely exasperate it and make it uncontrollable. ;-. i
V Unfortunately life-today has helped to do that - and no one is -more
to blame than our advertising men and women who use sex ,
as a medium to display their wares. Look atsthe dust packets of
almost any book, the bill 'boards, even television. As Ernest Haveman
points out, "Most female singers go further .than the lyrics of our
songs, they deliver even innocent and -completely as sexual songs
like "That Doggie in the Window" with -winks, lears, bumps and; '
grinds that would shock an Oriental brothel keeper.; " ' .
The danger of all this over-emphasis on sex "is quite apparent -in
some of the conclusions that Dr. Kinsey and? his associates have
drawn. Men who are so easily aroused and stimulated by even a
well turned ankle have come to expect that women will re-act in
the same way. They read books - usually written by a man about
some -woman, supercharged- with sex whose every gesture, is an
invitation and expect their wives to be such a woman. Dr. Kinsey I
says, "there is considerable emphasis on the intensity of the female's
response and the insatiability of her sexual desires. All of these"
represent the kind of female which' most males wish all females "
to be." And most women are not like that at all. A good thing for ,
most men, too, we think. Because we seriously doubt the ability of.
most males to keep such a female happy, content, satisfied, "ven
the normal woman .according to Dr. Kinsey - gets frustrated enough
as it is. ' : '-. (-' '(( .-vv
We think that if this book helps men to understand women better, "
to be realistic in their approach to sex, it will serve a great purpose.
Because, fundamentally men are not now and have not been realistic. .
about it in the least. Men have lacked completely an emotional grasp -of
reality - they have demanded that their wives act in a fashion -,
not only unnatural but against their innate integrity - that they
pretend to passions they do not possess biologically, that they become
insincere in their reactions. Sex is for most women a means of com
munion, simple and natural, not an appetite. It is part of life, certain
ly - we wouldn't be here In this world without it - but it is not all '
bf life nor its most important part. If it is, then we haven't progressed
very far fromjhe jungle, ' ... - i

consistent growth in North Caro
lina in all agricultural developments
has made it necessary, for -Purina
to build a' second plant in North

Of our Charlotte, N. Cmill cannot
handle the demand for Chows.'

. QUESTION: I'm a tobacco farmer
and I want to know something a-
bout nematodes and how they af
fect mv vv;:'K;;.;,t
-ANSWSR: Nematodes are tiny
worm-like creatures. Most forms are
so 'smalt you 'cannot see them. It
Us barely possible to see a mature
female of some species. We: have
many types of riematodes in North
Carolina ' soils. Some Me harmless
to tobacco while others -are para
sites and live by sucking Juices from
the plant roots. This is What causes
the plant to become diseased. We
have two important groups of nem
atodes that affect tobacco': (1) . root
knot nematodes and ' (2). meadow
nematodes. These pests feed and
reproduce in the roots of a wide
variety- Jf plants and live from
year to year in the soil and decay
ing roots. When you grow, tobacco
and other suscu, ,.,ie crops con.
tinuously in infested soil, the nem
atode population increases until it
is no longer profitable to grow
these crops. , , .
QUESTION: Have agricultural
scientists developed, a tobacco that
is resistant to nematodes? j
- ANSWER: No, While some varl
ties -of tobacco-in commercial use
may withstand, nematodes attacks
somewhat better - than -others, we
don't have highly resistant varieties
yet Experiment Station plant breed
ers' are striving to develop nema-tode-resistant
varieties "and to add
this resistant to varieties resistant
to other diseases such as -black
shank and the bacterial wilts.
