ed by the winters heavy snow

who have Degrudged the Difficult

moisture.
Covered by the heaviest blanket
of snow in the state, southwestern
Minnesota bids fair to return to
green pastures" The huge drifts
are harbingers of bumper crops
as big crop years and the long
reign of sub zero temperatures
has reduced the danger of de-
struction by insects and fungus
diseases, experts say.
The only obstacle to a good
crop year, agriculturalists assert
is the large amount of poor seed
especially wheat and corn. Cam
paigns are being conducted to ac-
quaint farmers with this danger
and get them to substitute higher
grades for the poor quality seed

horrible and unnecessary death and injury toll.
The soul Of accident prevention work that viii produce
results is education necessary that law enforcement
agencies especially traffic PATROLS be improved and that
laws governing motor vehicle operation be brought up to
date But the reckless ignorant driver will continue to
endanger lives in spite of the best efforts of legislatures
judges police the force of public opn
ion enlisted to make him mend his ways keep off the
highways,
Proof Of what safety education accomplish is found
the magnificent record produced by safety instruction in
tie public schools This work started fourteen
Fears ago. and naugurated by the National Bureau of

years there been 1876 per increase traffic fata

Arkansas Conference To
Seek SharecrOpper Aid

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (C) =
Plans for a south-wide conference
to seek ways to help the share
troopers were announced Saturday
by Governor Futrell, following the
call for grand jury investigation
of peonage charges in Arkansas by
u. S. Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings. Governor F'utrell, who
retires from office in January, will
appoint an Arkansas commission
of 40 or so sharecroppers, eodca-
tors, landowners. business and pro-
fessional men, and legislators, to
meet at Hot Springs and make re-
Communications to the State and
Federal governments for the "em-
elioration of the lot of the tenant
farmer and promotion of farm
ownership by them"
The Governor said in part: It
recognize the seriousness of the
tenant farmer or sharecropper
problem. For decades it has been
developing and in recent years has
grown to such serious condition
that the problem must be settled if
Arkansas is to have peace among
its citizenship and agriculture con-
tinue to hold its rightful place as
the States chief resource. The
plight of the sharecropper may be
exaggerated in some reports; but
the thing itself the system is
eating at the vitals of the South's
economic structure and whether
exaggerated or not, is of such SER
ious character as to call for inme-
diate and exhaustive study and ex-
animation with a view to its de-
finite settlement"

Cascade range for over 500 miles
and will constitute the northern
unit of a skyline route along the
summit Of the Cascade and Sierra
mountains all the way from Can
