Cabbage Proved
There are a number Of varieties
Of cabbage which do well IN the
Valley and which have proven
themselves. They include Glory Of
Enkhuizen, All-Head Early, Cop
enhagen Market, Charleston Wake
field, Early Flat Dutch, Savoy and
Mammoth Red Rock.
The general policy is 10 plant

furnishing enough plants for one
TO three acres. When ready TO
transplant they should be placed
u to l6 inches apart in rows which
are 80 inches apart. The seed should
be planted from one half to one

wv HlLE dairymen of this country trying to
w get aid from the government in fighting oleo-

are tremendously increasing their sales daily through
the use of judicous advertising. The large sums be-

by the fact that they recently paid for one ad

LAMENTS PASSING OF
THE ELYSIAN FIELD

One of the metropolitan newspaper
mems pet dreams is the thought that
some day he will retire from the daily
field to devote the latter part of his
life leisurely on country weekly.
Here is cited how one was sadly dis
illusioned that the country weekly is
no place for passiveness and repose.
The cause for his lament is the oc-
casion when the Redwood Gazette
made a scoop by rehashing its front
page makeup after the paper had
been put to bed and several hundred
papers were run off.
Introducing Jay E. House, colum-
mist of the New York Evening Post,
an excerpt from his column "On
Second Thought" issue of January
81:
Country Journalism's Mad Pace
cat times we have felt desire and
expressed the wish to beat back to
the weekly newspapers and the one
street towns whence we sprang. But
if country journalism has speeded up
to the extent indicated by the Gazet-
te story, we're probably better off
where we are. We couldn't stand the
pace and we wouldn't understand the
need for it. In our day in the country
field, the story of that fire would have
been carried over until the following
week. That would have given the
editor time in which to view it in it's
larger aspects and would have pro-
vided him with abundant leisure in
which to write it. Clearly, the coun-
try newspaper is not the elysian field
it once was.
eve recall one incident out of hund-
reds which substantiates our point.
Once, on Thursday night, we, to-
gether with Manlove Roam and the
balance of the force, were putting the
Florence Bulletin to bed. 1t was
around 9 o'clock in the evening and
storm was raging outside. Barney
Bryant, who had gone across the
street to get some sandwiches and
coffee for the force came back and
reported that a tornado had hit the
town at about $3.50 o'clock and had
reduced fully one-quarter of the resi-
Dental section to debris. One or two
persons had been killed and number
of others had been more or less seri-
ously injured. But we didn't rehash
the front page or any portion of the
paper. We sent it to press without
any reference to the tornado. We
waited until the following week to
write graphic and detailed report
Of the storms fury.
"But, in one respect, at least, the
custom of the country newspaper re-
mains unchanged. The force appar-
emily still loafs all week and then
works all night Wednesday or Thurs
day getting the paper to press and
in the mails"

What need is to have this idea flow into our
daily living The energy for victorious life is here,
but many of us are not wired up for it.
Therefore, let every of celebrate Easter:

Have Times Really Changed?

r IGHTY years ago. in the United States Senate,
r Daniel Webster said: "There persons who
constantly clamor, they complain of speculation
and of the pernicious influence of accumulated wealth.
They cry out loudly against all banks and corporations
and all means by which small capitals become united
in order to produce important and fundamental results
They out mad hostility against all established
institutions. In country of unbounded liberty they
clamor against oppression. In country of perfect
equality they heaven and earth against privilege
and monopoly. In country where property is more
evenly divided than anywhere else, they rend the air
shouting agraran doctrines. In a country where the
wages of labor are high beyond parallel they would
teach the laborer that he is only oppressed slave
They would shock the foundations of industry and dry
up all the streams"

Generous Use of Wealth

Generous Use of Wealth
wv LILLIAN LYON PHELPS, noted essayist, saws
w that he does not know how wicked American
milonaires may be, but when he looks around
and the hospitals churches libraries universities
parks, etc. that they have given, he does not know
what would do without them. Andrew Carnegie,
for instance through his libraries stirred the ambitions
of millions of young people and he helped them to
cultivate reading habits that have increased their earn
ing power and have given them resource for happ-
ness Money given in such useful ways does more
for people than they likely to do with the money
they spend themselves. The time spent by some
in denouncng wealthy people, might be better en-
ployed in suggesting the happiness that comes to such
people when they use theft money generously.

The Bane of Inertia
<eI isn't the incompetent who destroy an organize
tion," declares Mr. Ford. "The incompetent new
er get into position to destroy. It is those who
have achieved something and want to rest on their
achievements who forever clogging things up To
keep an industry pure, you've got to keep it per-
petual ferment."
Mans inclination to rest, satisfied that he has ac
complshed something has harassed MANY business
chiefs and executives
He must be coaxed to try again, induced to ach-
eve greater results and often attered in order to
compsh something better and monumental.
Intelligent, capable men who have good records
are thus inclined to sit back and Oh, that will
do guess I'll lay off for spell now.
Such men need riding. For they are really cap
able and be pushed along to achieve greater re-
Suits Usually it is the reverse the incompetent get all
the impatient proddng. But it is the other type we
must watch Else they keep "clogging things up"

Plant Garden
wv ATCHING things grow seems to be natural for
w the average person. Especially if it is plant,
tree, or other vegetable life that comes under
some human care. The average person gets sense of
satisfaction in working the SOIL planting seeds, and
watching it throughout it's various stages of growth
Besides the economical aspects of having ones
own garden which yields variety of sustenance there
is no better of teaching boys and girls the
OF flowers seeds, and vegetable plants. It is good
hobby for a man, and also for boy. It has prac-
tcal appeal in that the boy becomes fairly pro-
cent in gardening, there is possibility of stirring
his ambition to earn pin money by raising potatoes
cabbage, onions, pop corn or sweet corn
In more ways than one there is health insurance
and quantity of satisfaction pleasure in garden
Due to highly commercialized production on large
scale it is possible if afford to buy canned
fruits and vegetables at any This has caused
some neglect in gardening in late years. But with
economic conditions they today it is possible
that the home garden will come into it's own again

HARRIS URGES
5-YEAR BAN ON
IMMIGRATION
Georgia Senator to Propose
80 Per Cent Cut; BIames the
Administration for Failure

A drastic 90 per cent reduction
in immigration quotas for the
= next five years will be proposed in
the new Congress for the relief
Of unemployment, Senator Harris
CD of Georgia announced today.
This reduction, Harris said,
would have been authorized for
two years at least in the last ses-
sion Of the Hoover Administration
had favored it. He predicted en-
actment of the five-year cut next
fall regardless of the Administra-
tiOn'S attitude.
To Keep 100000 Out
Aside from slashing immigra-
ton quotas, Harris declared a
drive would be initiated to
tighten up existing regulations to
deport aliens illegally in this coun-
. try and to erect further barriers
against alien smuggling. He said
the whole restrictive program
would keep at least 100000 alien
workers out of this country iH the
next five years, if enacted.
Said Harris:
"There are 100000 unem-
pIOyed and 100000 more citi-
zenS working part time in a
nation that has but 100000
citizens gainfully occupied, ac-
COrding to the latest census"
"We talk of helping the un-
employed, and yet the Admin
stratiOn could have stopped the
flow of cheap alien labor by
simply getting the House immi-
grafton bill to the Senate in
time for a vote before adjourn
ment.
81 believe Presidents HOOver's
stand for restrictive iInmigra-
tiOn, as enunciated in his 1928
campaign, had as much to do
with his election as any other
issue. Yet two years have
passed and his Administration
has done nothing to carry out
his pledges, indeed, it brought
defeat to the House bill, which
would have reduced quotas by
80 per cent for two years"
