THE COVINGTON NEWS
How To Weed, Water And Spray
"Why weed?” is the first
question the new gardener asks.
"Because,” says the old pro,
“weeds are hardy plants and
they’ll practically strangle ten
der little seedlings in their
struggle to grab all the good
food in the ground and the re
freshing water which trickles
down to their roots. Let’s just
say they’re tough and they’re
greedy and not very polite
when it comes to sharing with
the more civilized planted seeds.
So. be as ruthless as they are
and wage war on them by pull
ing them out every time you
see one turn up."
When da we water, wonders
the new gardener. "Take a tip
on how you’d like your own
hide treated,” laughs the old
boy, “if you don’t take enough
water into your system, you’ll
dry up . . . too much, and you’ll
drown. Then again, if you don’t
take a bath often enough and
your pores get all clogged up
with dirt, it’s a trifle hard
Old Lands And New People
By Dr. Irvins S. Ingram
NOTES ON ENGLAND—
Someone said: There will al
ways be an England. I like
England, Scotland, and Ire
land. Perhaps it is because with
some difficulty I can under
stand the language. The British
are more or less formal and
they like ceremony. I do, too.
Then I like the surnames
found on the stores, business
es, and in the newspapers.
They are the names of families
in the South. Their snobbery
is not so pleasing but they
have lived successfully as a
people and as a nation for a
long time.
England seems prosperous
today. It is surprising how
they have rebuilt their coun
try since World War 11. Weak
er nations would have given
up-
There are two political par
ties in England, unlike France
with many. These parties have
been very evenly divided un
til recently. The Socialist Par
ty has a leftist or Communis
tic element which is giving the
Labor Party some concern. The
Conservatives of the Labor
group are trying to heal the
breach.
In the meantime. England
is the strongest ally of the
United States. It is so essential
that this friendship remain
firm.
In the main as I see countries
across the world, communism,
can win in only two ways: mil- ’
itary aggression; and it can win I
if the West fails to do its share
in feeding a hungry world.
Two-thirds of the forld’s popu
lation are hungry Couple this
with the growing daily popula
tion of these hungry people be
cause of increasing birth rate of
of increasing birth rate of
140,000 per day or 50.000,000
per year, one sees the world
going back to the dark ages.
In contrast, the English
people seem happy. The peo
ple love their past, but they
love the present. It seems that
England is the only country
that has made democracy work
in all facets of her society. The
people are not hungry. On ac
count of their health program,
no one fears a fatal illness
without medical help. England
will never go Communistic. ;
The government meets the
needs of all its people within j
the limits of a free society, j
Communism has to enslave her !
people to do this.
As a people, the English
love their holidays. Off to the
seashore, mountains, or rural |
areas they will go. There gar
dens and countrysides are
beautiful. I drove with a prom
inent English farmer and radio
commentator through the An
dover to Salisbury area to
Southampton. There was real
country. On the pasturelands i
were cattle, sheep, swine, and
poultry. The names were all
familiar American names. It
was from this area the pil
grims were recruited. They
left from the port of Sout
hampton.
In the country, this farmer
had a real farm dinner. Pheas
ant was served. These birds
are wild and plentiful in the
English countryside. My dis
advantage was that I had on
summer clothes. These people
seem to be hot if the tempera
ture in the house exceeds 54
degrees.
On our ride through the
country we came upon the
Druid temple ruins. This was
England around 2000 B.C.
Most of the world in those days
engaged in human sacrifices.
Our ancestors did. Fortunate
ly, more advanced invaders
came in and this practice was
discontinued.
Around the birth of Christ
England had the Romans as
their conquerors. They were
there more than 400 years. This i
Your Plants
to breathe.
Test the soil now and again
and if it’s dry and grainy,
you know you should water
right away. If its damp enough
to make a ball in your hands,
don’t water. Your plants have
enough for the time being. In
other words, use common sense
about your watering. Get to
know your soil and the amount
of water it needs and you
won’t have any problems.
Ah, I know the next ques
tion, too. What do we spray?
There are a number of good
all-purpose insecticides on the
market that will take care of
most of your bugs. Some of
them also contain plant food
to give your plants that extra
bit of lift they may need during
the summer. Check at your
local seed store or garden sup
plier for information on local
buggy problems.
They’re bound to have simple
solutions for you."
was good. Later the Angles,
Saxons, and Normans came. All
helped.
In the main the countries
invaded were improved by
their conquerors, unless these
conquerors were barbarians.
However, around 1600 A. D.
England had put on a national
solidarity which enabled her
to move quickly into an inter
national or World power. By
1607, the English were in Vir
ginia, later Massachusetts and
subsequently in North Ameri
ca and around the globe. Her
poets sang of her glory. An
Empire on which the sun never
sat. They became the mightiest
nation on earth and remained
so until war reduced the Em
pire to a second rate power.
But England is still great in
many ways.
Toynbee says nations like
people grow old. In reflection,
I asked, “Is my country, now
might, showing signs of aging?”
The trip to the United States
took less than 8 hours. The
English on the good ship Ann
took several months to get to
Georgia. They had to take and
prepare their food on ship and
suffer many discomforts.
Then the distances were
a lifetime; a big world. Today
we are one world with a lot of
people, so different yet so near
each other. Too near for safety.
