WARN FARMERS NOT
TO SELL PORKERS QUICK

weeks after date of sale the plan
calls for a payment of $4 per head
above market price plus the waving
of the usual dOckage.
The extra price paid for the young
pigs and heavy sows is to be taken
care of by a processing tax on pork
products which will be levied later
on all hogs.
The emergency selling period will
begin on a date to be announced by
the Secretary of Agriculture and
will continue until about October ].
Farmers would do well to keep these
facts in mind before selling pigs or
sows if they want to profit by the
bonus and should be particularly
alert to all possible efforts of buy
ers or spectators to buy up these
young pigs or old sows at small
price and thus reap the benefit OF
the adjustment price for themselves.
There will be no need to market
hurriedly as the price will remain
the same during the emergency buy
ing period.
Farmers who have hogs of the
type specified in the plan for sale
should watch the newspapers for an
nouncement by Secretary Wallace as
to when the plan goes into effect.

Il presume most of us now real
ize that we made a mistake in
those far-off days and that we did
wrong in allowing the State to
google up the church to use for its
own purposes. We can see the issue
clearly enough today when Hitler
tries to capture the church in Ger
many. We do not, however, see
quite as clearly when we ourselves
are involved, particularly with so
much in the Roosevelt program
about which to be enthusiastic.
Nevertheless, the New Deal, as fine
as it is in many respects, is a lot
less than the Christian religion.
After all, as many wise ones are
pointing out, there is much of
fascism in the present set-up, with
the possibility that we shall see a
super-State created that will level
down American life rather than
raise it to the heights of which it is
capable. Certainly it would 'be en-
barrassing to discover four or five
years hence that the churches. had

business to call and inquire about
Betty Lou and her play.
Betty LOUIS mother commented,
'Yes, Betty Lou seems to be con-

"She is not really always left out.

poor sport, and they don't like to

becoming "ballyhoo agents" for the

Signed by the Rev. William B.

Witness, the editorial says:
Something reminiscent of the
ballyhoo of war days is being
stirred up over the recovery pro-

DESTROY BREEDING PLACES
TO CONTROL SAND FLIES

Sand flies, which each year become
greater pest, can best be controll-
ed by destroying their breeding
places, say entomologists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. There are about 80 kinds
of these minute, but vicious, insects,
known also as midges, punkies, and
sand gnats. Some breed in salt
marshes along the Atlantic and Gulf
Coast; others thrive high up in the
mountains. All have an irritating
sting and are particularly active at
night.
Ditching and spraying ditch banks
and marsh edges with creosoted pine
sap, waste product of timber-creo-
soting plants, gives the most effec-
tive control over salft-marsh sand
flies along the South Atlantic coast.
Creosoting or draining rot holes in
trees deprives this fly of its favorite
breeding place in inland wooded
areas. Such a hole, though contain
ing only a few drops of water, may
harbor thousands of the tiny gnats.
Even a rot hole where a small limb
has been broken off will breed en-
ough gnats to keep an entire house
hold awake. A little creosoted pine
sap or. a. creosoted stock dip placed
in these holes will stop insect breed
ing there.
AS lights attract the sand flies
keeping sleeping quarters as dark
as possible is help where there are
heavy infestations. Applications of
pine oil or oil of sassafras to the
hands and face will also give re-
lief. These oils, mixed with house
hold fly sprays to which heavy min
sral oil has been added, at the rate
Of 1 part to parts of the spray,
may be applied to window screens,
with good effect.

Johnson explained, pending an in

To Hunt NRA Cheaters
Johnson said another obstacle in
the drive had been fear that compe-

"Of course the government cannot
permit this" he said. People who
fly the Blue Eagle must be honest

to this.
For about two weeks we shall
confine all action to an intense eff
fort to see that the obligations of
the Blue Eagle are understood by
every man who flies one.
I'm the meantime we shall collect
evidence in the few important re-
ported cases of big and thoroughly
informed employers who seem know
ingly and wilfully to have taken on
this obligation with deliberate in
tention of violating it to mislead
and defraud their employees and
their customers.
"The opening gun of the enforce
ment campaign will be a painstak-
ing, fair, open, public hearing of
these cases and if they prove to be
what reports indicate, we shall use
every lawful and proper means to
protect the public and their COM
petitors against such destructive,
unpatriotic and unfair conduct.
These examples will clear up
mistakes and-of themselves-go far
to eliminate these abuses every
where.
But we shall go the whole dis
tance. Wherever the Blue Eagle flies
we shall keep his wings clean and
his talons sharp. If fairness and
justice and patience require and
justice and patience require more

such universal system was ever put

ed that they will be attended by a
large number of farmers, as the at
tendance at the meetings that were
held a short time ago indicated that
the wheat growers are much inter-
ested in this production control pro-
gram.
The schedule, of these meetings,
each of which will start at o'clock
in the evening, is as follows:
Tuesday, September s. Fire

Wednesday, Sept. 6-Town Hall,

Thursday, Sept. community

At each of these meetings a local
committee of three wheat growers
will be elected by those farmers who
have signed applications for allot-
ment contracts, and one member Of
this committee will be selected to
represent the community in the
county wheat production control as
sociation. From the personnel of
this county association there will be
chosen three wheat growers who
will serve as the allotment commit
tee to pass upon all applications
from those farmers in this county
who apply for contracts. This COM
mittee will fill out the regular allot-
ment contracts which will be re-
turned to the growers for their sig
natures after these contracts have
been approved by Secretary of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace, for the
premium payments this year on 81
per cent of each growers average
wheat production for the three-year
period of 1880, 1881 and 1882, and
the acreage reduction for the next
two years.
According to reports which have
been received from other wheat pro-
ducing sections in the United States,
this wheat adjustment plan is at
tracing favorable attention of wheat
growers, as the low prices which
have prevailed during the past few
years have caused farmers to be-
come more concerned than ever be-
fore in program which has for its
purpose the reduction of acreage
and securing a better balance be-
tween supply and demand as a
means of stabilizing prices in the
