The Low Down
On Hickory Grove

Susie-that is Mrs. Jo-She
says to me the other day, Jo-
sephus, she. says, what is this
pump printing business I am all
the time seeing in the paper?
And I was brought up in the
country and have tried to prime
a pump when the well was dry,
and you can keep printing it till
the cows come home and all
you get is a wheeze and a CUR
gle. So that is the way I ex-
planned it.
But Susie, she says, I am not
talking about any pump in the
country - I'm talking about
pumping money like they do
down in Wash.
So I says, pouring water in
a pump, when the well is dry,
and pouring ' money in a go
piers hole, like in WASH, it is
no different. And if you get
back half what you put in, you
are doing good.
And Susie says, who is getting
the money-and do you have to
crawl into a gopher's hole to get
it? And I says, with the diet I
am on, I could easy enough get
into a gopher's hole.
So nothing came of our con-
versation-and it is the same
with pump printing.
Yours, with the low down,

FIRE PREVENTION

Winter is over. The good days
are here. And thousands OF
people will soon start a pleas
ant round of motoring trips,
picnicS, camping excursions and
other forms of outdoor recrea-
ton.
If you are one of these you
will see nature at her best. But
do your part to make sure that
she continues at her best-by
being careful with fire.
There are millions of acres
of ravished, blackened stump
land in this country that once
bore magnificent treeS-because
someone was careless with a
campfire. Some of the finest
natural garden spots have been
turned into ashy wastes-be-
cause someone was careless with
a cigar or cigarette. Animals
and humans have persisted mis-
erably in h%olocaustS of raging
flame-becauSe someone took a
chance with fire.
Some states have laws against
throwing matches or lighted to-
bacco from carS-obey their
laws. They are sound laws, de-
signed for your protection, and
they deserve your cooperation.
An excellent practice is to break
a match intwo between your
fingers before dropping it-then
you'll know that it is really out.
When you are camping, make
a rock fireplace for your fire.
Under no circumstances build it
near brush. dry leaves or other
easily inflammable materials.
Don't build a large fire-a small
INT is adequate for all camp
ing needs. And when you are
through with it, really put it
clubhouse it with water, and
shovel dirt over the ashes. Be
certain no sparks remain.
The prevention of fire in the
out doors is its own reward
it guarantees that there will be
a beauty spot for you to visit
next year.

Facts
About Agriculture

Farmers near Missoula are
using a simple device to deter
mine the depth to which irriga-
ton water has soaked into a
field. This instrument is a
one-half inch rod about three
feet long with a T shaped han
die on top and a blunt lower
end. The rod is pushed into the
ground after irrigation and
slides easily into the soil until
It is stopped by dry earth.
Farmers use it because they
have found that too much irri-
cation is as bad as too little.
The rod device supplants the
old tedious method of digging
down with a shovel.
Hogs like to be clean as we'll
as any other animal. Santa
ton while pigs are small will
bring more of them through to
maturity.

The opposing camps on Cap
itol hill are in battle formation
again. In the House the wage
hour bill is the issue. In the
Senate the new spending spree
plan is the center of the con-
flict.
But those are only the major
engagements. On other fronts
the war still goes on.
In brief, there is not a single
legislative proposal in the Cap
ital City this week that is not
an issue for a fight between
those seeking to create some de-
gree of public confidence and
those who stick to the disproven
theory that continued regula-
ton and deficit spending is the
only depression antidote.
In the category of minor" is
sues are such bills as the Wag-
ner bill in the Senate and the
iealey bill in the House to force
persons borrowing from the gov
eminent or selling to the gov
eminent to comply with the
national Labor Relations Act.
Supporting the congressional
'oalltlon in opposing these bills
is the U. S. Navy. The Navy
department says 1t is already
nampered in its dealings with
1rivate firms by nine regulatory
Federal statutes. The COmptrol-
Ter Generals office. too, doesn't
Vant either bill passed because
it would add to administrative
expenses in Washington and
increase costs OF materials that
must be purchased by the gov
ernment-(and by the public
tOO).
In the Wage-hour and spend
-ng program fights, political
strategy - pressure, patronage
ind promiSeS-haS already be-
come evident as a tool to pry
opponents out of the coalition
However, observers be-
iieve the opponents have been
materially strengthened by their
victories in the Supreme Court
and Reorganization bill fights
and by the wide support given
them by the public (by tele-
grams and letters) N both
trays.
incidentally, as the advocates
of more spending launched
their campaign, the Treasury
departments regular report
showed the government had
spent $6,036, AS ,849 during the
nine and a half months Of the
current fiscal year-just $1,087,-
644,281 more than was taken in
during the same period. The
report also announced that the
LOUIS in the public purse now
total $37,563, 358,287, or nearly
three million more than at the
same time last year.
The special Senate committee
studying unemployment and re-
lief made a startling discovery
during its recent investigation,
and a great many persons are
looking in the direction of WPA
headquarters with arched brOHS.

other things, reports that it

On the heels Of statement by

whole had been dropped by the
Federal Government because OF
the refusal of Baltimore bankers
to underWrite bonds for SIS per

It will be highway bridge, and

ovtr the river at Havre de Grace.
The total cost is estimated at

the loan on the difference between

In making the announcement,
Secretary IckeS said that even II
the bankers should agree to IL

Draper said this was the largest

seven failed to return, and during
