THE LUCKY AMERICAS

Democracy" said President
Roosevelt in his Pan-American day
address, "cannot thrive in an atmos-
phere of international insecurity.
"Such insecurity breeds militar-
ism, RECOMMENDATION and the denial
OF freedom of speech, of peaceful as
sembly and of religion. Such inse-
curity challenges the ideals of de-
mocracy based on the free choice OF
government by the people them
selves"
We of the Americas truly do not
know how lucky we are Every
frontier of Europe is a frontier of
fear. The sky is not just a joyous
blue, something inspiring to look at,
but an open avenue of winged DEATH
Everywhere there is -wracking
insecurity which breeds militarisIl
and RECOMMENDATION, which in turn
breed still more insecurity.
From most of these curses we in
this hemisphere luckily are reason
ably free. And so we shall remain
If we are of a mind to. But first
we must realize how lucky we are
and resolve that, do what we must,
we are going to stay that way.
1t is thus, as the president indi-
Gated, that we can make our greatest
contribution to world peace-Co-
lumbus Citizen.

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER

Belief that milk producers in
Ohio could take a tip from AUS
tralia and New Zealand producers
and further improve the already
high quality of Ohio butter was ex-
pressed here by P. B. Stoltz, chair
man of dairy technology at Ohio
State University, who returned from
a four months study of the COM
mercial application of scientific ex-
pertinent in dairy products by Aus
tralian and New Zealand farmers.
The scientific fertilization of pas
lures is of chief Importance in the
production of exceptionally good
grades of butter in the two coun-
tries, Mr.. Stoltz discovered. Such
practice is a rarity in the United
States. Strange as it may seem,
Mr.. Stoltz reported that New Zea-
land produced more milk per capita
than any country in the world, yet
consumed less. A large portion of
the butter produced in Australia and

Destroy Bark Beetle Trees Now

Destroy Bark Beetle Trees Now
! Many fruit trees in Ohio, especial
ly peach trees, which were severely
, injured by the cold winter of 1885
are infested with bark beetles at the
present time. If allowed to stand
| they are a serious menace to the re-
mainder of the orchard
Bark beetles may be detected by
the presence Of numerous small
round holes in the bark of the
branches, limbs, and trunk of trees
When stone fruits are attacked, the
infested parts exude droplets OF
gum.
Most of the bark beetle damage
in Ohio. is caused by two species,
the peach tree bark beetle and the
fruit tree bark beetle These in
sects are sometimes called shot-hote
borers. Each of these species is less
than 0.1 inch in length and is dark
brown in color. Both spend the win
ter in galleries in the infested wood,
the former in the full-grown beetle
stage and the latter as a small larva
or worm.
If infested trees are allowed to
spring and summer and infest living
trees by laying their eggs in the
bark. Weak trees are more suscep-
tible to attack than are healthy, Wig
orous ones. For this reason, the use
of fertilizer in the spring is an i'm
portant aid in warding off bark
beetle attack, because this stimu-
lates the trees to make a vigorous,
early growth.
The most important control meas
ure, states R. B. Neiswander, assist
ant entomologist at the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station. is the
destruction of infested wood before
the beetles emerge. All dead and
dying trees, broken limbs, and brush
heaps should be removed and burn
ed, preferably not later than mid
April. Prompt burning of all such
refuse is very important, because
otherwise SO many beetles may
emerge that even very healthy, Wig
orous trees in the vicinity may be
attacked. Spraying is of little or no
value in the control of these beetles.

YOUNG S|MPL|F|ES
RAILROAD EMPIRE
Hopes to Announce Plan for
Eliminating Holding
Firms, He Says.
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSS.
Robert R. Young newly crowned
king of the Nations greatest transpor-
tation system, testified at a Senate
inquiry today that he hopes very
soon" to announce plan for eliminat-
| ing a series of railroad holding COM
panies which have been justly criti-
cized here"
He told the Senate Railway Finance
Investigating Committee that prac-
| tically all the time since he acquired
control of the huge Van Sweringen
rail network on May had been de-
voted to winding up the affairs of Ale
ghany Corp. the backbone holding
company of the system.
He observed that he and his as
sociates already have eliminated one
holding company, Midamerica Corp,
and that they later hoped to wipe out
third-the Chesapeake Corp.
May Take 10 Years.
To complete reorganization of the
intricate pyramid Of 240 interlocking
firms in the Van SWeringen empire
may take US 10 years." Young added
At the end of that period. he said
his controlling syndicate will probab bly,
end up with 3 per cent of the stock
Of the Chesapeake &, Ohio Railroad
major unit in the system
He testified he hoped the Interstate
Commerce Commission would give us
chance to consolidate the c. g. O.
with the Erie and Nickel Plate lines
by approving pending unification
proposal, but added
we wouldn't be interested in carry
ing out the consolidation if we find
| that it would merely add to the size
of the empire.
! Our only object in carrying it out
would be to make some real economies
in operation"
Young smilingly told the committee
that the commission has so much
better understanding of this proposed
uniflcation than I do, that will be
| glad to abide by their decision"
Reports Defective 5 Years.
Controller E. M. Thomas of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad testified
yesterday that for five consecutive
years he failed to report the firms
ownership Of S50.000,O0O worth secur-
tiles to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. He said the omission was
"solely through clerical error"
Testimony before the committee in
dicated that this stock, together with
more held by the Chesaneake's affilj-
ates, carried working control of the
Erie and Nickel Plate lines, although
the commission recently had forbid
den the Chesapeake & Ohio to acquire
control Of these roads.
Thomas, who had been described at
earlier hearings as ''the dean of Ameri-
can railway accountants" assured the
committee that mention of about
100000 shares of this stock had been
Inadvertently left out" of his re-
ports for the years 1926 to 1880.

DEATH OF CARPENTER
BY HANGING PR0BED
Coroner and Homicide Squad
Continue Search for Evidence.
Revolver Is Found.

Homicide squad detectives and the
coroner's Office today still were in
vestigating the death of Elry Sidney
Ball, II, retired carpenter, who was
found hanged yesterday in the base
ment of his home, 4l2 Hamilton street.
Balls body was discovered by his
wife, Mrs. Lillian Ball. who heard a
shot and investigated, finding the base
ment door locked. The body was
suspended by the neck from rope,
one end of which was knotted to a
water pipe.
A .45-caliber revolver, from which
one shot had been fired, lay at Balls
feet. Gashes on the dead mans FORE
head led police to believe at first that
Ball had been shot, but it subsequently
developed that the wounds apparently
were caused by the body swinging
against post.
Detectives said they were unable to
decipher several torn notes which they
found in Balls bed room.
