PLUMOSE ANEMONE
. The name anemone. is applied to
: aome plants at well as to some
animals. Her we refer to some of
the animals known as sea anemones
of -which there are approximately
. 1,000 known species With such a
number of kinds of sea anemones
It Is only natural that there will
be considerable variation.
' One of the commonest sea anem
ones found along the Atlantic Coast
of1 North America is Metridium di
anthus which has world-wide dis
tribution around the Artie region
: . extending as, far south as New Jer-
; sey and being most abundant and
of largest size in the area between
".New Jersey and the Bay of Fundy.
In that area It is found on piles, in
tidal pools, among the rocks from
low tide mark on to depths of 150
feet On the West Coast this same
species is found from Sitka south
to Santa Barbara, California.
This sea anemone varies greatly
in size. Normally those found by
beach combers a re at most only a
few inches high or wide but one
dredged from a depth of SO fathoms
off our Pacific Coact filled a 10
gallon crock. Usually ther is a
smooth velvety column about 4 in
ches high and 3 inches through.
This is crowned with an expanda
ble disc covered with a multitude
of many waving tentacles. In large
specimens the number of tentacles
may be well over a thousand. When
expanded the disc may look some
thing loke a chrysanthemum color
ed chocolate brown, streaked or
blotched with brown or even white.
When the animal is disturbed it
quickly contracts the disc and seems
to swallow itself since the tenac
tacles all quickly diseappear into
the animal.
When an animal is being eaten
by the sea anemone its fate may
be sudden .When a hungry sea
anemone is fed a chiton the flesh
may all be consumed and the shell
expelled within a period of IS min
utes. The animals have been kept
active and healthy in aquaria for
over a half century and there is no
reason to believe that at the end

QUESTION; Is alfalfa really the
King of the Hay Crops?" ; ' T
ANSWER: In one respect, yes. V
vill produce more feed per acre In
good years and bad than any other
legume forage crop, more even than
permanent pasture or any othei
combination of plants. Alfalfa is
however, still behind lespedeza ir
acreage. But alfalfa has a seven
month growing period, comparec
with two for lespedeza. Alfalf;
averages three to 4V4 tons of ha
per acre annually. A stand of alfal
fa will remain productive for sev
eral years if well managed.
QUESTION: Is corn subject t
greater insect infestation in the fielt
than small grain?
ANSWER: Generally, ys. You car
help prevent much insect damagt
to stored grain by harvesting you
grain carefully. The longer grair
in the tie'f ater maturity,
he more it is subject to infestation.
Because small grains are harvested
of this period animals so kept could
be considered decadent.
SedFanemones may reproduce by
simply splitting logitudinally into
two or more animals, by budding
at the base, by breaking off frag
ments of the base, fertilized eggs
give rise to free-swimming larvae
that move about and eventually
settle down more or less permanent
ly attached to some solid suport.
Some sea anemones attach them
selves to the backs of crabs and
thus get moved about increasing
the area from which they may col
lect their own food. The crabs that
carry these sea anemones get pro
tection in return for their efforts
since the sea anemones with their
waving tentacles are able to injure
attacking animals. The poison barb
in a tentacle of a sea anemone is
something that most animals learn
to avoid no matte"- where the
anemone may be found.
The graceful movement of the
tentacle-bearing discs of sea ane
mones have appealed to motion
picture photographers and some
spectacularjy beautiful motion pic
tures have been made of them.
An understanding of the role of
sea anemones in the general scheme
of things is worth having E. Laur
ence Palmer.

quite soon after they mature, the
usually are not seriously uuesiea
in the field. Corn is liable to great
er field infestation than stmall
grain because it is left in the field
for a much longer time after ma
turity. QUESTION: What is the best way
to apply lime
ANSWER: Lime should be mixed
horoughly with the soil to be most
effective. It should be applied at a
ime in the rotation of crops that
will permit this thorough1 mixing,
in oraer to neutralize soil acids, the
lime particles must be in contact
with the soil particles. For crops
such as alfalfa or clover-grass pas
tures, sufficient lime should be ap
plied at seeding to last several years

fective, jAls'
'Spirit Of Farming'

Neg-o Farmers
One of the things that makes
"county living" worthwhile is the
people you deal with, says W. G.

agent for the Agricultural Extension
Service.
Pierce says Otis McCoy of Clark

of Council. Route 2, "have the right
spirit." Recently when McCoy dis
covered that a few of his hogs had
contracted dreaded hog cholera, the
highly infectious swine disease, his
first thought was of his neighbors
who also kept hogs.
He first visited Cromartie, an in
fluential community leader, ex
plained that his hogs had the dis
ease. Together the two farmers vis
ited their neighbors, telling them of
the danger and urging them to vac:
cinate their hogs. At a vaccinating
clinic held recently some 60 hogs
were innoculated.
One neighbor asked McCoy if he
wasn't afraid to tell people that
his hogs had the dreaded disease
for fear they would stop visiting his
farm. McCoy's answer was that he
wasn't half as afraid of people not
visiting him as he was of perhaps

SENATOL!.l
ftREPCJriS !
WASHINGTON The Senate last
week voted 78-12 to send, the Flahd.
era resolution and all amendments
thereto to a select committee.
THE COMMITTEE
I was highly pleased with the
appointment of the bi-partisan com.
mittee. It is made up or three Dem
ocrats and three Republicans. They
are Senators Watkins, Case, Carl
son, Johnson of Colorado, btennis,
and my colleague from North Car
olina, . Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr.
They are men of integrity, charac
ter, and exceptional ability.
North 'Carolinians know of the
outstanding judicial record of Sen
ator Ervin, who left the Supreme
Court bench in June to succeed the
late Senator Hoey. He brought to
the Senate a distinguished record
of service, which will be of great
value to this select committee.
NO FANFARE
My best judgment is that the mat
ter of the so-called Flanders reso
lution and amendments, which in
clude the charges against Senator
McCarthy, will be investigated on
a judicial level without regard to
emotionalism, hysteria, fanfare or
political Influence. I also believe
that the committee will be able to
resolve these, matters within a rea
sonable length of time.
I want a chance to vote on this
matter based on evidence obtained
by Judicial inquiry. This is the ov
erwhelming sentiment of the Sen
ate. I did not want to see charges
hurled without documentation
which would resolve the matter
without precedent, using the same
tactics that Senator McCarthy is
charged with using. I believe in
orderly procedure and justice. The
people of the country, on both sides
of this controversial issue, must rea
lize that justice must not be tramp
led in wild emotionalism that right
will prevail once reasonable men
seek to reach the facts of the situ
ation void of political implications.
In the meantime, I am hopeful
buying some infected hogs in the
neighborhood.
Whatever McCoy's and Cromart
ie's reason, their efforts helped
bring the outbreak of cholera un
der control and halt its spread, says
Pierce.

session of the Congress. To permit

FOREIGN AID
My vote wa cast to whitUe down
foreign economic aid by one bil
lion dollars. We lost that but did
manage to knock out a half-billion
dollars. The conference committee
restored three hundred million of
that. I am glad to see the Senate
come to the realization that un
limited foreign economic spending
must be abolished.
MARSHALL
When the President spoke out in
General George Marshall's defense
in his press conference last week,
i: gave me immeasurable pride.
General Marshall spends many
months of each year in North Car
olina. We recognize his patriotism.
I was glad to take note of this on
(he Senate Floor and insert in the
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD the
remarks by the President and an
editorial giving the late Secretary
Stimpson's high regard for Gener
al Marshall.

TEMPERATURE TIPS
Eggs need to be kept cold to hold
their fresh qualities, but, for suc
cess in cooking, homemakers often
ask when to use eggs cold and when
to take the chill off in advance.
1. A high-quality raw egg sep
arates into white and yolk most
easily when it's 50 to 60 degrees F.
An egg just out of the refrigerator
is so cold that its white is vis
cous and clint1s to both shell and
yolk, making separation difficult.
On the other hand, when an egg
warms up to 75 degrees F. or more,
the yolk tends to flatten and then
may break in separating, especial-

when eggs are to be separated, it
pays to remove them from the re

4. For cooking in the shell, take
the chill off the egg before it goes
into hot water to avoid cracking the
shell from the sudden contrast in
temperatures or, put cold eggs in
cold water and bring eggs and wat
er to simmering temperature to

5. Hard-cooked eggs seem to sep
arate most easUy from shells when
they are cold. As soon as they are
cooked, cool rapidly in cold running
water. Fast cooling helps prevent
the unappetizing dark-colored lay
er around the yolk. Many home
makers have found that chilling
makes eggs more firm, thus easier
to slice for a garnish or to separate
the yolks from the whites for stuff
