Not Wages And Hours


CHICAGO, June 80. (UP)-

bled in convention here yesterday,

The publishers expressed their
determination not to enter into
any agreement with editorial en-

ton, or any one group devoted to
Il single cause"

assumed by the American news
paper guild at its st. Louis con-
vention on issues such as war in
Spain, and the court bill, the re-
solution said that the publishers
united in "unSwcrving objection
to the closed shop for news and
editorial department workers
not because we regard it as labor
issue involving question OF wages,
hours and working conditions, but
because we are unwilling to turn
over the news columns TO amy
group already committed aS an
organization OH highly controver-
Sial public questions
The convention, which was call
ed after the ST. Louis Guild con-
vention adopted a bargaining code
which included mandatory rules
calling for closed or guild shop
in all contracts with newspapers,
was presided over by James C..
Stahlman, president of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers aSSocia-
ton.
1t was announced that there
were sos delegates present, rep
resenting eleven newspaper or
CARNATIONS. a permanent commit
tee was organized at the conven-
ton, to be known as the newspa-
per commirtee. The first duty of
this committee is to transmit the
action Of the convention to the
newspapers of the country and
take steps to keep the public in
formed of the importance of the
issue involved"
This permanent committee is
made up of James q. Stahlman,
chairman; L. B. Palmer, secre-
tary; and the presidents, vice
presidents and secretaries of the
eleven newspaper associations rep
resented at today's meeting.

Sugar beet test paintings were
made Friday at the Meloland eX-
pertinent station. L. G.. Goar, su-
perintendent, put in trial plots of
U. S. No. Ia and IS and also a
German variety.
Flax stock paintings went in Sat

conducted last year. Only some
20 varieties will be tried out this
year, others having been eliminated
in the experimental work last sea-
son.
The Puniab variety which is
grown largely in the valley originat-
ed in Meloland under Goars super
vision. The superintendent is now
trying to develop a variety which
will be a little easier to thrash,
which will have a good yield and
more straw. This latter factor has
become important with the use of
straw in the manufacture of paper.
The California Central Fibre cor
poration has been organized for
the purpose of utilizing flax straw.

got a haircut today, looked over
his store clothes. and prepared to
leave for New York City, where
over nationwide radio broadcast
he will tell the country just what
it felt like when his farm began
to sink.
The tenant farmer, made famous
by the antics OF the west end of
his 1870 acres, said he was going to
leave his overalls and pipe at home,
and show the CITY folks that he
wasn't just an ordinary farmer.
The small, sunburned farmer was
born in Indiana, but has never been
further east than Cleveland, o. He
doesn't like cities. Even the vii
lage of Bull bothers him, but he
said he was making the trip be-
cause "he would never get another
chance like it-or another sinking
farm"
Harley wants to arrive incognito
and escape photographers and re-
porters. Then he wants to take a
gander at the Rockefeller center,

NEW PASTURE.
CROP PLANTED.
IN VALLEY AREA

If anyone doubts the value of
Meloland Experiment station to the
agricultural interests of Imperial
Valley the fact that con siderable
acreage is being planted tc new
pasture crop which originated at
the station last year should he proof
enough of its Importance.
This new crop is q combination
of purple vetch and oats and a
number of farmers have beon so
impressed with the results obtlin-
ed at Meloland that they have de-
voted quite large acreages to- it
this winter, one farmer alone pla ut
ing 500 acres.
In the winter of l936-37 trial
paintings were coniucted at Melo-
land in an attempt to find prac-
tical winter pasture crop which
might be used for hay also and
which would give farmers an addi-
tional crop which might be grown
and harvested in a short time so
that the land would still be avail
able for spring and summer crops.
L. G., Goar, Meloland Superin-
tendent. experimental with series
of trial plots last winter and dis
covered that the best combination
for hay is one pound of oats to six
of purple vetch seeded at the rate
of go pounds Of the mixture to the
acre. For pasture the proportion
is 4 pounls of purple vetch to IL
of oats.
From the planting seeded on Oct.
l6 and which was not clipped. AZ
tons of hay. dry weight was har-
vested per acre in the first week of
April. From the planting clipped
to the ground on Dec. %. the yield
in April was 21s tons per acre, the
clipping having been done to test
the effects OF pasturing.
Goar has estimated that land
planted to vetch and oats may be
pastured twice and still one cutting
of hay may be obained.
Combined with sudan, this mix
ture of oats and vetch makes an
ideal year-round pasture crop, the
sudan growing in the summer and
the other, in the winter.
With pastures at premium dur
ing the winter when hundreds of
feeder cattle and sheep are shipped
in, this vetch and oats mixture fills
decided need in the valleys agri-
cultural program.
