NEW FARM PLAN
BEGUN IN MEXICO
Cardenas Starts Division of
EstateS-Urges Labor
Not to Strike.
BY the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY August 7-Presi-
dent LaZaro Cardenas today began
breaking up Yucatan's great henequen
estates and, at the same time, appealed
to labor to refrain from strikes which
might obStruct the agrarian program.
In message sent from Yucatan to
Labor Secretary Villalobos, which was
considered of utmost importance in
view of the recent wave of strikes
harassing industry, President Cardenas
said:
we ask workers organizations of
the country for consistent CO.
operation; that before calling new
strikes they seek agreements with
employers in order to avoid lessening
activities in other sectors which might
affect the global plan being under
taken in this zone"
Arrives With Engineers.
The statement was issued as Gabino
VazQuez, head of the agrarian depart
ment, arrived in Yucatan with a corps
Of 100 engineers to start division of
henequen estates and carry out the
Presidents promise to give henequen
workers the land they till
Henequen is fibrous plant used for
twine, cordage and similar bindings.
Last year Yucatan's plantations pro-
duced one-third of the worlds need
for the fibrous plant, or half million
400-pound bales.
Carde as, addressing cheering
throngs of workers at Merida, did not
say how much of Yucatan's $50 900
acres of henequen- growing land would
be handed over to them under the
agrarian plan.
Conciliatory Tone.
It was regarded as significant that
Cardenas, while insisting on the neces-
sity of giving land to Yucatans land
less workers. took a concilatory tone
with a commission of four henequen
growers who called to see him last
night.
He promised a thorough study in an
effort to avoid any decrease in pro-
duction and said the government
would buy land for communal farm
groups where it was available at a
reasonable price and pay for process
ing machinery.

NEW DISEASE PERILS
AMERICAN TOBACCO
Carolina Plant Pathologist Re-
ports Discovery of "Ruffle
Leaf"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., August 7.-Dr.
s. G. Lehman, plant pathologist of the
North Carolina State College Farm
Experiment Station, announced today
he had discovered in Wake County a
tobacco disease never before reported
in the United States.
The disease, which he termed
"ruffie leaf" appears similar to a
plague known as "kroepoek," which
has done millions of dollars worth of
damage to South African crops in the
last 20 years, DR.. Lehman said.
He added he would make an imme-
diate study of the disease in an at
tempt to determine whether it would
affect this States $4,000, 900 tobacco
crop.
"Ruffle leaf" the plant pathologist
said. is caused by a virus which may
have come TO this country on i'm
ported tobacco or may be a mutation
of some other virus. The disease, he
stated, dwarfs plants, making them
commercially useless.

The veteran teacher was dismissed

charges by the Whiteley Township

pupils with base ball bat and poker
and was otherwise incompetent.
Evolution was injected into the mat
ter after Mrs. Morris invoked Penn

an effort to get her job back. At one
Of the public hearings into the School
Boards charges Gene Jones testified
Mrs. Morris was always telling us
We descended from monkeys"

POPULAR FINLAND
 BERRY, LAKKOJA,'
 PLENTIFUL HERE

In Finland they are called "Lak- koja," in America Cloud" or Bear" berries, but regardless of their title they are now ready for picking in the Gastineau Channel region, and, most important, they are excellent for eating.
 Mary Hammer of the Ideal Curio Shop. stated this morning that the berry bushes are ripening quickly and that the fruit should be picked soon. The berries grow on low bush ics in swamp ground, and are red when ripe.
 Although not in general use in North America, the Lakkoja are an important crop in Finland where they are often served to hosrisal patients and conyalescents in Scan dinavia they are mashed down in open wooden barrels where they are preserved in their own juice. Just before freezing weather, a small amount of salt is sprinkled over the top, so that the berries will freeze from the bottom toward the top, rather than from the top down. When the berries are to be used, they are chopped out of the barrel with an axe or a chisel, and when | t h Wed are cooked immediately. The berries are exported to the United States in a frozen state
 Lakkoja are plentiful in Alaska, many bushes growing about Ju- neau, but even more growing in the Interior and around Icy Straits. At Icy Straits they are known as Rus sian berries, since they have long been popular fruit with Russian travellers.
