A CAMPAIGN FOR THE BOOK
Bitter State FIGHTS Fire Ub Election That Started Duo

ton from whom all blessings
flow"
The voters, according to the
gilt-edge political dope, will ratify
the New Deal by electing an over
whelmingly Democratic congress
and choosing Democrats for most
OF the thlrty-four governorships
az stake.
The relative certainty of this
outcome has given the campaign
ho-hum aspect.
But don't yawn! Issues are in
volved in the national congress
sional conflict and in several state
battles which vest this off-year
election with sS much Importance
and interest as any you'll be able
to remember.
Take the battle of the ex-So-
cialist, Upton Sinclair, for the
governorship of California - a
fierce "class struggle" between
HAYES and have-nots. Or the La
Toilette brothers and their new
Progressive party in Wisconsin,
which is likely to grow into a ma
tional ma jor party if it wins.
And remember. that the future
existence of the Republican party
will seem much more doubtful if
Democratic hopes of substantial
house and senate gains are rea-
lied.
Candidates have been emphasiz-
ing the great sums of New Deal
money poured into the states.
Even some Republicans seek cleo
ton on the ground that their Of
fice-holding opponents haven't
been wangling enough of 1t.
One of the campaigns most
starting developments has been
President Roosevelt's sudden dis
play of interest in proposals o.
various vast federal projects in
states where Democratic candi-
dates need help.
HARDLY less surprising - and
IL quite unprecedented-is Mrs.

Party lines aren't meaning
much this year. When people
aren't voting for or against the
New Deal-moStly for-they're
voting for or against a particular
candidate rather than his label.
Outstanding examples of mug

They claim these merits for it:
1t provides more hours of work,
for each 500 spent. than many
forms of public construction.
Its use of materials promises
stimulus to the tagging heavy
goods industries.
Finally. and in many ways most
important, elimination of grade
crossings may open the door to a
new era of railroading. The recent
record breaking cross-country run
of M-1O001 showed railroad men
that fast trains can not be run
regularly under present conditions.
Thousands of extra watchmen
had to be stationed at grade
crossings while the train made its
dash. If this hazard could be elm
mated and fast service be made
practical. railroads might find in
it the answer to their declining
revenues, while the construction of
new diesel engines and new
streamlined trains would pro-
vide important stimulus to in
dustrieS where unemployment is
most serious.
JOSEPH B. EASTMAN, federal
a co-ordinator of transportation,
inclines to this point of view.

fits. considering the relief of I'M
employment. aid TO the capital

public safety. and improvement OF
transportation conditions he says
in a current magazine article.
He believes. also. that the gov
eminent can properly assume the
burden of this work. since the
menace of grade crossings has
been so enhanced by public ex-
penditureS for highways.
When the public works program
first was undertaken he urged
that grade crossing work be put
at the head of approved projects.

he said in a letter to PWA Ad-
ministrator Ickes. "Of these 1871
were killed and 1857 we're injured
in accidents at highway grade
crossings.
Grade crossing elimination has
been a most painful thorn in the
side of the railroad. The condi-
tons which impel such elimina-
ton with continually increasing
force have been created, not by

Grading, Packing, Adds
to the Tomato Profits

Careful grading and packing of to-
matoes may mean the difference be-
tween profit and loss for growers, says
J. w. Lloyd, chief in fruit and vege-
table marketing at the College of Agri-
culture, University of Illinois
Some tomatoes may look much alike
on the vine, but their appearance aft
err reaching the market may be quite
another thing In fact, it is not I'M
usual for well-graded and packed to-
matoes to sell for twice as much as
ordinary stock on the same market.
Furthermore, well-graded tomatoes
deserve careful handling and packing,
points out Lloyd. This vegetable is
tender product, easily bruised and
crushed. The juice is likely to spread
over others in the pack and make the
whole package unsightly and unsavory.
This reduces the market value.
To avoid crushing, tomatoes should
be placed only in shallow pack
ages, preferably those in which the
tomatoes are packed only two lay
ers deep. These include the shall
low tomato box" of about one
third bushel capacity, the four-basket
tomato fiat formerly used extensively
in shipping early tomatoes, and the shall
low splint baskets used in shipping hot
house tomatoes. The excellent APP
pearance of the tomatoes after reach
ing the market has popularized these
containers.

ton of the monarchy.
Quite unofiicially, it is said restora-
tion of the Hapsburg monarchy would
not be opposed by either France or
Italy, but the British foreign office
secuted the idea. The little entente
nations would be strongly against it
but might not hold the Vienna gov
eminent entirely responsible.
In Vienna spokesman for the for
eign office said that the return to Aus
tria of the Hapsburg family, even as
private individuals, is "still impossi-
ble."
Some member of the Hapsburg fam
lily may be allowed to return to repre-
sent the family in the long pending
lawsuit over the Hapsburgs' proper
ties, he said, but this is not likely to
be Archduke Otto, because of the dan
ger that disturbances might result from
his presence. Socialists and labor un-
ions would surely start trouble.
~ A. COBB, chief of the cotton pro-
Vi duction section of the farm adj
ministration, announced that the third
cotton parity payment due in De-
cember would be combined with the
second rental payment and that both
would be distributed in October. The
total thus to be paid out will approx
mate $72.500000.
Mr.. Cobb said that tenants and
share troopers had an interest in the
"parity" payment and that to put off
payment until December, the usual sea-
son for many tenants and renters to
move to other farms, would cause I'm.

Berry Likes Acid Soil

The huckleberry, Of which 40 vari-
cites are known in the United States,
goes also by many names which In
clude tangleberry, whortleberry, blue
berry, farkleberry and others. Usually
it is found in an acid soil, in fact,
treatment with acid results in a crop
of berries often approaching the cherry
in size. Because of their tendency to
soften under weight and warm tenn
peratures, the huckleberry does not
find it's way to market as readily as
other types. The berries, If kept at
temperatures around so degrees, will
remain fresh for several weeks after
being picked, however.

Less Milk Used
When Not Fresh
Adequate Cooling, Bottling,
Will Cause Cream to
Rise Faster.
BY A. O. Kimrey Extension Dairyman.
North Carolina State Coiiege.--WNU

North Carolina state 'colloTs.-wSSUti
The rapid sourlng of milk handled
carelessly has been given as chief
reason why milk consumption Ia low
on many farms.
Unsanitary and slightly soured milk
Is not palatable and 1t is easy to see
why farm families whose milk is not
cared for properly do not use as much
milk as they should.
To keep milk clean and fresh, It
should be strained through at least
three thicknesses of fine cheese cloth
Immediately after milking. 1t should
then be poured in standard-size quart
milk bottles and sealed with standard
bottle caps.
Then the bottles should be placed in
the coolest water available and al
lowed to cool. The water should be
changed as often as necessary to bring
the milk rapidly to the temperature Of
the water.
On farms where Ice is kept, the milk
should be placed in the Ice box after
1t has been cooled by water. Where Ice
Is not kept, the milk should be left in
cold water until it is to be used.
The cream can be poured from the
bottles and kept for churning or other
purposes. The rapid cooling Of milk in
bottles will cause the cream to rise
more quickly and completely than is
the case when milk is not cooled and
where 1t is stored in large vessels,
such as buckets or cans.
Milk thus handled is completely
sealed from dust, odors, or other form
of contamination. 1t will be found
much more convenient for the house.
wife to handle in bottles than in the
usual way.

JAMES A. MOFFETT, federal hous-

on November l he would begin releas-
ing funds for the construction of at
least million new homes.
Concerning the home modernization
and repair phase of the program, the
administrator declared that more than
1000 communities have set up or are
setting up committees to direct the
program locally. He predicted that by
Thanksgiving more than 5000 munich
palities will have established such COM
mittees.
Financial support, he said, has come
from 1000 banks, and such loans have
been made in all states but three.
"From field reports we estimate that
one million dollars day of loans are
being made under our plan; and from
experience in past community modern

double that amount of cash business

for 10000 dyers to quite their jobs.
The union workers were still en-
ragged at Gen. Hugh S. johnson, MIRA
administrator, for his attack on the
strike at meeting of code authorities
in New York. He charged that the
walkout was in absolute violation" Of
an agreement made by the United Tex
tile Workers with the government last
June. This the union leaders fatty de-
MED, and they demanded the resigna-
ton of Johnson. German said:
1--WE will not join in submitting any
issue to the MIRA as long as General
Johnson is administrator or occupies
a position of determining influence in
the recovery administration. We said
he ought to resign and we meant it.
Since that is our view, we could not
join in any submission to the NRA
while he has the power to make MIRA
decisions"
If present plans are carried out, a
quarter of a million cotton garment
workers will go on strike throughout
the country on October /. This strike
is called, according to the. union lead
ers, because the manufacturers refused
