B. & o. JOHNSTON
FEARING DEFEAT
EXPOSES MACHINE
"Use Your Own Method
But Get the Vote"

That the machine of "B. & O." John
stOn is feeling a bit groggy at the
early election returns Of the Interna-
tional Association Of Machinists, and
is ordering its tools to get the vote
by fair means or foul, is shown by
the following letter sent to his crea-
lures all over the country by Charles
Taylor, Johnston's campaign manager,
a copy of which has come into the
hands of the Trade Union Educational
League:
"Use Your Own Method, But Get
the Vote"
It is noticed that in this letter
Johnston contradicts the boasts about
having a "walkaway" which he is
making publicly, and orders his tools
to "use your own method, but get the
vote" Nor is there any buncombe
in this letter about Saving old glory
from the reds" 1t is a plain case Of
Save the Johnston machine it's jobs. "
The letter, dated from 42S Irving
street, N. W., Washington, D. c., on
April 18th is, in full as follows:
important.
Dear Sir and Brother: A careful
and searching analysis of the known
results of the voting in the local
lodges thus far reveals the following:
''a-That the Anderson group are
working early and late to turn the
tide in their favor especially in our
strong points.
~ "b-The results to date indicate
that the johnson men are not work
ing as hard as the Anderson men;
in other words, the Anderson men
have the jump on us in general.
"c-There is danger in this be-
cause it is necessary to overcome
the rally the Anderson men are
making now.
"d-The voting so far is not en-
couraging, speaking generally, al
tho some of our points are making
good reports.
ut is necessary that you get after
your key men in person or by personal
letter. See that they are well sup
piled with our states. The Anderson
group have flooded the country with
theirs.
I'VE can win If you get the vote
out of the lodge and into headquarters
Use your own method, but get the
vote out. Nothing else will count.
"We, here, appreciate the hard work
you have done, but we also must
stress the fact that the other fellow
is apparently working harder than we
are, and they are absolutely unscru-
pulous in their methods. Intimida-
ton is their main weapon.
"In some sections we have cause
to be optimistic; in others. the reverse
is true. We expect the good sections
to outvote the poor sections; so, don't
any of you men in the good sections
stop until every member has voted
for Bill Johnston and the real pro-
gressive ticket.
1--WE said Let's go on January list.
We went. Now keep going till April
80, as we need the votes. Let me hear
from you. Regards,
"chas. Taylor, r."

BLIND VICTIMS
ARE EXPLOITED
IN WISCONSIN
Especial to The Daily Worker,

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 23.-In-
dustrial organizations of the blind OF
over 1000 and penal institutions are
producing goods to compete with the
industrial workers. The socialist
party OF the city is doing nothing to
curb this evil and it is rumored that
the Milwaukee Leader is getting its
share by securing advertisements Of
the concerns handling prison made
goods.
Silent on Unemployment.
Mayor Hoan, while pleading for
money TO help build the workshop for
the unfortunate blind is discreetly sil.
ent on the question Of unemployment.
IL would seem much more reasonable
to give the workers an opportunity
to earn their living at union wages
rather than put TO work the blind and
use their products in competition with
the organized labor movement.
The unfortunate blind should re-
ceive the support of the state instead
of being put to work to which they
are not adapted and which should be
done by healthy people.

DIR. Frank was formerly editor of

opinions and personal desires of the
president alone.

THREE WIVES ON HIS LIST.

NEW YORK, September 8 CP).-Ac-
cused of having three wives, Walter
H. Mcfarland, SO. a structural iron

Bertha Milligan in October, 1917, in
Waterville, Me. Several months later
he went to Suffern, n. Y, where it
is alleged he married May Alike.

Peat Fertilizing Value
Is Not Yet Understood

Every little while a question arises
as to the fertilizing value Of peat.
This is a natural question, because
the many peat deposits throughout
northern sections Of the country show
"a high content Of nitrogen. Often it
is claimed that this nitrogen in peat
is comparable with nitrogen In com.
mercial fertilizer.
Peat has often been used as a filler
for low-grade fertilizers, and as a
means of making high analysis of
nitrogen which is not really justified.
The nitrogen content Of peat has a
very low availability, and any one who
expects the value Of this nitrogen to
compare with the value of nitrogen in
commercial fertilizers, is certain to be
disappointed.
Peat lands may often be utilized to
very good advantage by applying pot
ash, which balances up the fertility
sufficiently to produce a crop. Some
very striking results have been
achieved in northern Illinois by this
treatment.

USE OIL SPRAYS IN
BATTLE ON INSECTS

In some sections, fruit growers find
that the San Jose scale has been in
creasing in abundance, during the past
few years. in spite Of regular appli-
cations of the standard lime sulphur
spray. Many of these growers have
resorted to the use of oil sprays to
secure thorough cleanup Of San Jose
scale, points out DIR. F. H. .Lathrop,
chief entomologist at Clemson col
lege, in discussing the control of this
scale disease.
Oil sprays are more effective for
the destruction of scale insects than
Is lime-sulphur, but unfortunately,
there is greater danger Of injury to
the trees when an oil spray is used,
and the oil seems to have less fun
gicidal value.
Oil sprays for the control Of San
Jose scale should be applied during
the dormant season. Extended peri
DDS Of low temperature should be
avoided In making the application.
Probably the most satisfactory time
Iva tAC dPpACdt1OAS VI O1l OluulSAVAo -
in the early spring just before the buds
show green.
There are number Of commercial
miscible oil sprays on the market.
Most Of them are reliable, and are
effective when used according to the
directions printed on the containers.
During the past few years homemade
red engine oil emulsion has come into
use in many fruit-growing districts.
This material is quite effective, and
can be prepared at home much cheap
er than the commercial oil sprays can
be purchased. If this material is made
at home, says Doctor Lathrop, great
care must be taken to secure perfect
emulsion, otherwise serious injury will
result to the trees. It is not advisable
for grower to attempt to make this
material unless he has proper equip
ment, and has had some experience ip
the use Of oil sprays.

Of Agriculture)
One means by which the bureau of
entomology of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture keeps it's many
field workers informed as to insect pest
conditions all over the country is by
issuing a monthly survey based on de.
tailed reports from the several States
and from the Dominion Of Canada
which has q similar service. The co
operation Of the entomologists in the
various states in supplying data on the
general and unusual insect conditions
In each region is now so well organized
that the survey is in a position to re.
port at any time on the chronological
situation prevailing in any part of the
United States and Canada. This co.
operative agreement with Canada is
especially useful in the case Of pests
which may be just over the border,
against which preventive steps may be
taken.
In recognition Of the surveys posi-
ton 1t has been requested to partici
pate In the meetings of the crop esti.

advisory capacity on the status of in
sect pests affecting the crops upon

nearly four years. One of its functions

Sweet Glover Useful in

Profitable, permanent farming de-
mands the use Of some legume crop.
Farmers are paying increasing at
tention to the Importance Of building

Sweet clover, once considered az
nothing but weed, is fitting into the

ed so that they will recover in a short

room and treat them individually with
a mixture made as follows: Heat FIVE
tablespoonfuls of grease until it be-
comes liquefied. Then stir in two ia

spoonful Of turpentine. Apply once or
twice day. If the injury has been

Size of Calf at Birth

The size Of the calf at birth depends
largely upon the size of the dam and
sire. Jersey and Guernsey calves will
weigh from so to 60 pounds at birth,
Holstein calves, from IS to 95 pounds.
This fact must be taken into consider
alton in feeding. A small calf cannot
consume as much milk as large calf,
and overlooking a calf on milk is just
as bad practice as underfeeding. The
former leads to trouble from scocrs |:
the latter, Of course, prevents the calf
from making normal gains.
