PARTY LINES FAIL TO HOLE
VOTERS IN THIS CAMPAIGN

were Funifold Simmons, of North
Carolina, and Tom Hefin, of Ala
bama. These two Senators were
promptly retired to private life be-
cause of their failure to remain re-
gular. But the fact remains that
Southern Democrats in the rank
displayed their independence of
party regularity and as a result the
"Solid South was torn asunder.
A Republican Picture
Consider the picture in the Re-
publican party today.
Senator George Norris is cam
paigning for Governor Roosevelt.
Senator Hiram johnson has pub
licly stated that he cannot and will
not support President Hoover for
reelection.
Senator Robert LaFollette in a
statement to the press has an
nounced that he will vote for the
Democratic nominee.
Senator John G.. Blaine will fol-
low the course of his colleague
from Wisconsin.
Senator Smith w. Brookhart,
after denouncing President Hoover
and the Republican administration,
is running as independent for re-
election to the Senate.
Senator Bronson Cutting is lead
ing a Hoover bolt in New Mexico.
Senator James Couzens refuses
to turn a hand to hold Michigan
in the Republican column.
Senator Lynn Frazier has ex-
pressed opposition to the Hoover
candidacy.
Senator Gerald Nye is up for re-
election on the Republican ticket
in North Dakota and has to watch
his step but not n word has
come from him urging that Hoov-
er be reelected.

Worker. This had perhaps been
cast aside by some one who did
not believe in Santa Claus.
When l read the title, l said to
myself, ''What a friend". 1t said
that Mr.. Hoover moves for shorter
work week. (In fact he has SO
handled the situation that no one
works at ally The statement that
attracted my attention more than
anything else WIS: practically
every move that President Hoover
has made in combating the de-
preston has been in the interest of
American wage earners." We I'M
favored many would answer that
by saying, "It is to laugh"
He said that he had constructed
a program to relieve the unemploy-
ed. He has already relieved them
of their jobs. l wonder what else
he intends to relieve them of, if he
is reelected. He said that he had
expanded the federal employment
service to provide aid for jobless
| veterans and others In every state
in the Union. | wonder if ne
means the same kind of aid that he
provided the bonus seekers in
Washington last August, when he
ran them out of the capitol they
had fought for, and the only place
they could call home.
He said that he would provide
easier credits in home financing
and thus save the homes of wage
| earners in distress. Hasn't he real
lied yet that we do not want soft
credit? We want hard cash. We
want a decent price for the fruits
of our labors and fields. He says
that he has provided jobs for a
bout two million men during the
coming winter and spring. If you
! were to ask him about the other
nine million, he would say, "Why
bring that up?" or saw, forget
that"
He is asking the American peo-
pie to try him again, that he will
not do any worse. He is sincere in
that statement, and we believe him
because it's impossible to get any
worse. He has told us time and
time again that prosperity is just
around the corner, and 1 honestly
believe that if we push him hard
enough, he in return, will promise
to re-iterate that statement on the
day of his Inauguration.

DRIVING
MONTHS

fair and winter months are
the most dangerous of the year for
automobile driving.
Rain, snow, sleet, hail and ice;
early darkness, haste to reach lone
home and escape the cold, tightly
closed cars and low visibility, all
contribute to the hazards.
Skidding is a chief danger of
cold weather driving. The motor
ist must confront not only a visi-
Bile wet Or dry surface. but one
hidden under a bed of fallen leaves.
Last year 1,740 persons were
killed and 51,72o injured in A.
$40 accidents due to skidding cars.
1.-The automobilist cannot carry
the driving practices of the late
spring and summer over to the fall
and winter without running a great
risk of accident" says Maxwell
Halsey, Traffic Engineer Of the
National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters. Conditions
become vastly different in the last
three months of the year, and the
driver must take them into con-
sheraton" Mr.. Halsey lays down
certain rules for the dangerous
driving months.
"Have your car thoroughly in
spected for any mechanical defects
that may have developed during
the summer.
"Be especially sure your brakes
are effective; be sure your tires
are in frst-c1ass condition, also
your lights and your Windshield
wiper.
"Cut down on your summer
speed. :
"Allow for early darkness and
for decreased visibility.
IF you find your a going
into a skid, do not jam on your
brakes"
Available statistics indicate that
automobile fatalities in the United
States decreased about II per cent
the first 7 months of this year. If
that record were to be maintained
up to, and including December
31st, it would mean that the num-
Der of human lives taken by motor
cars during the year would fall tc-
low 10000 for the first time since
1928. However, the supreme test
is now being applied. Every a
gency nowadays is endeavoring to
bring about a reduction in auto

CRIMINAL WASTE
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
America has become a great ma
ton in the past by making use of
its waste materials. Yet there are
millions out of work who are ready
and able to work now, but if this
keeps on may not be able to work.
Many things we let go to waste,
such as the dumping of food and
burning corn in furnaces. How
many hungry mouths would this
feed?
Why should they freeze and
sleep in the rain and wooden boxes
when we have thousands of empty
factories and houses and churches
which could be used in the even
ings? Many of these have been
empty for more than a year, bring
ing in no profit; let them at least
bring in a profit by saving lives.
The churches claim to save
souls, and are glad to come to
many for money to help or build
their churches. How about help
ing those who helped them? They
could easily let them sleep on the
pews in the churches. "As ye do
to the least of my brethren ye do
unto me-" Come all ye who are
weary and heavy laden and 1 will
give thee rest" Even the public
schools and halls could be used.
Many of those who pay high
taxes think those who don't own
any property and don't pay taxes
should not have anything to say
in the regulating of the govern
ment. Yet when it comes to war,
they expect these people who don't
own any property and have no
property to protect, to go and risk
life to ave their property. One
cannot get along without the
other. To have good government
the people and the government,
must cooperate. Let us save the
waste to give to the needy?

THE DIFFERENCE

To The Editor:
l clipped the following editorial
from a recent issue of the Balti-
more Evening Sun. l think it is
very appropriate at this time and
| will appreciate it very much if
you will publish same.
"A. T. D.
Away back in 1922 the late
Wayne B. Wheeler was announc-
ing that the Literary Digest pol
on prohibition taken that year wa:
unworthy of consideration, be-
cause drys do not vote in news
paper polls.
In 1928 Democrats in large
numbers denounced the Literary
Digest Presidential poll taken that
year as unworthy of consideration
because it did not show the "sil-
emit" Democratic vote.
In 1882 Republicans in larg<
numbers are asserting that the Lit
erary Digest poll of this year is I'M
worthy Of consideration because II
does not show the great supper!
they claim will come to the Presi-
dent on election day.
Without doubt, if any Literary
Digest poll had shown a dry ma
jority, the vets would have de-
clared it unworthy of considera-
ton for this, hat and the other
reason.
The principle seems to be that
if the Literary Digest poll shows a
majority against your side, then
it is unworthy of consideration,
But if it shows a majority for your
side, then it is an important and
significant indication of which way
the wind is blowing.
As AEsop lat least we hope it
wa AEsop and not some other fell
low discovered many long years
ago, it makes a difference whose
OK is gored.

"WHEN I was a girl, I began tax

very irregular for twelve months.
Nothing did me very much good
until my mother began to give me
this medicine. Then I got all
right, stout and well.
after I was married, 1 was in
bad health. I began taking Cardui
again. I was troubled with my
back a lot. Was awfully restless.
I could not sleep we'll. 1 just

taking Cardui. I improved rapidly.
Before long I weighed 126 pounds.

driver should realize that he can
contribute most to the success of
this movement by driving which
will decrease the number of acct
dents.
Under the most perfect condi-
tons the driver of an, automobile

when the bad days come, that care
should be stretched to the utmost.

pounds of application Of sodium
chlorate to the square yard at one
time in the orchard and even then
would want to see this kept away
from too close to the trunk of the
tree.
We believe it inadvisable to use
the regular orchard sprayer for
weed control work unless extreme
care is used in thoroughly rinsing
the machine after use. This mater
ial will burn foliage and fruit
trees very quickly. CELEBRATES are
being offered at a price which
would seem to warrant immediate
control measures being applied to
all perennial weed patches. The
above recommendations are based
upon the general conference of the
extension agents of the irrigated
districts of the state and we be-
lieve is about the best informa-
ton for our conditions at the
present time.

NITROGEN APPLICATIONS
LESSEN TOMATO INJURY

While in the White Bluffs COM
munity last week our attention
was called to a field of tomatoes
which had been fortified in strips
with two rows having been left
without fertilizer. The first appli-
cation was made with ammonium
sulphate as the fertilizer on three
strips with nitrate of soda on a
fourth. Plants had begun to show
blight symptoms when the first
application was made. When the
field was looked at Friday, July %
the strips fortified first, this be-
ing on July 10Th, showed good Wig
orous growth, good dark green
foliage. Although there were some
plants in the rows that had blight
ed, yet there was very little blight
in the rows fortified then in the
part of the field on which a fertil-
izer had been applied at later
date and particularly was this true
as compared to the two rows where
no fertilizer as yet had been ap-
piled. In fact the two rows not re-
ceiving and fertilizer, planted
right thru the field, showed prob
ably at least 85 percent loss of
plants and very much less thrift
ty condition Of the plants left.
+ Of the rows fertilizer on June
10 when there were a few tomatoes
probably an inch across the injury
of the plants in these rows showed
a very thrifty condition and a
good color of foliage. Of the rows
fortified on July 9th plants ap-
parently have not yet responded
to this application and on the
whole may not respond as well to
this later application as to the
earlier application Judging from
the looks of the plants at this
time. 1t is true, however, that
plants in this area do look con-
siderable better than those having

that as much as three pounds may
be required per square rod. For
Siberian mustard, hoary cress and
any other perennials of the mus
tard family, it probably will be
necessary to use as much as four
pounds per square rod. If one
were using Atlacide the amount
should be increased one-half, that
is. where two pounds of sodium
chlorate would be used, three
pounds of calcium chlorate or At
lacide would be applied. If one is
using sodium cholate in the orch
ard or wherever there is fire
hazard, we would not recommend
its use unless one pound of mag
nisium chloride is used for each
two pounds of sodium chlorate.
The usual dilution is one pound of
chlorate to one gallon of water.
Where the larger amount of chlor-
ates are used, however, the con-
centration may be increased, that
is up to two pounds of chlorate
may be used per gallon of water.
Under field conditions the dilution
is not so important. Under orch
ard conditions we would urge the
use of only enough spray solution
to thoroly wet the tops and get
ting as little a spossible upon the
soil. This is to prevent feeder
roots of the orchard trees from
taking up the poison.
Observations of the last three
years have led up to the conclu-
sion that two or three successive
light applications are better than
one heavy application. It would
be our opinion that the first appli-
cation made anytime from the time
a plant is in bloom and for possibly
two or three weeks after this,
should make use of about two
thirds Of the amount of material
recommended above. If good leaf
growth is made within a month
following this we believe that one
half Of all Of the remainder of the
material could be put on in sec
ond application, this being partic-
ularly APPLICABLE to the weeds which
are most easily killed. In the case
of weeds such as the mustards and
even morning glory, we believe
that a third application as late in
the fall as, it is possible to determ-
inc the outlines of the patch,
should be made, using the balance
of the material. We particularly
recommend the several and sue
cessive alter applications under or
chard conditions and in no case
would we recommend more than 2

PERENNIAL WEED CONTROL

The use of CELEBRATES in the con-
troll of the perennial weed prob
lem has given varying results not
only in this county but in other ir-
rigated sections. 1t does seem to
offer, however, the most economi-
cal method Of control of the prob
lem. 1t is important when they
first make their appearance SO
that control measures can be ap-
piled before the areas become
large or very much scattered. One
or two new weeds have been dis
covered this year which are sure
to become troublesome if not TAX
en- care of soon.
The chlorate method of control
is the application, either in spray
or dust form, directly to the weed
or to the soil in which the weed
grows, of either Sodium chlorate,
calcium chlorate, or Atlacide,
which is trade name for a com
bination of Sodium chlorate with
materials which reduces the fire
hazard. Sodium chlorate may be
mixed with magnesium chloride
and thus bring the same results,
according to the best information
available at this time. Two pounds
of sodium chlorate with one pound
of magnesium chloride should be
equivalent to three pounds of At
Iacide. The material to be used
should depend upon the cost and
the convenience of the material.
It would be advisable wherever
the weeds are present in small
areas and wherever the chlorate
is to be used in the orchard. There
is possibility, however, if sod
ium chlorate and magnesium chlor-
ide can be secured at a much less
cost than the atlacide, to use this
combination in the orchard.
Various weeds will require diff
ferent quantities of chemical. Star
thistle, Russian knappweed are
comparatively easily killed, while
Siberian mustard and hoary cress
will require, according to our OBJ
servations, a much heavier appli-
cation. Our observations have led
us to recommend two pounds of
sodium chlorate per square rod as
maximum amount required for
the control of star thistle, Canada
thistle and Russian knappweed.
There are grasses, such as quack
grass, Bermuda grass and weeds
such as morning glory, perennial
nightshade, sand dock, we believe
