plus of stems and some can be lost
without any real damage to the
stand.
another important conclusion of
the meeting was that various kinds
of thinning methods to increase the
quality and rate of growth of young
stands will, if properly applied, help
rather than hinder in disease con-
troll.
Studies of the disease show that
where control measures have been
taken in time, the spread of the
disease has been stopped or slowed
down until it was not dangerous.
Good forestry practices producing
fully stocked, fast-growing forests
will keep down the spread of the
disease once the currants and goose
berries have been suppressed, per-
hitting blister rust control men to
concentrate their work in stands yet
unprotected. The net result will be
considerable saving in disease con-
troll costs and greater timber
values"

Blister Rust
Control Costs
Con Be Cut

MISSOULA, April 8.-The cost OF
blister rust control can be material
ly reduced by proper management
of white pine stands, according to
Kenneth Davis of the Northern
Rocky Mountain Forest and Range
Experiment Station at Missoula. Mr..
Davis attended a conference held
recently in Spokane to discuss ways
and means of combating the disease,
which attacks valuable white pine
stands in the northwest.
THE conclusions reached at the
meeting are based on the results
of actual experiments carried on in
the field over period of more than
10 years. says Mr. Davis. Eco
nomical blister rust control and good
forestry go together. The sooner
thrifty and vigorous stand of
young trees can be started on cut
over areas the less the danger from
the blister rust, as currant and
gooseberry bushes, which spread
the disease to the pine cannot sur
vive long under a dense forest.
Once existing bushes threatening
the life of the young white pine
seedlings as they first become estab-
lished are grubbed out, new ones
cannot grow and such stands are
reasonably safe from the disease
throughout their life. 1t is not
necessary that the disease be en-
tirely kept out of Well-stocked white
pine stands. There is usually sur

BILE enemies-is just too absurd for
words.
The most partisan OF President
Roosevelt's opponents must admit
that little evidence can be brought
against the Presidents contention
that, if this country is to build up a
formidable aircraft production. it
must be permitted to produce air.
planes good enough so that the al
lies will buy them!
1t can not be denied. of course,
that the administration is not dis
pleased over the fact that, under
our amended neutrality law, all the
benefit goes to the allies. We will
sell planes or munitions or ships
to any belligerent If that belligerent
will come and get them, paying
cash. The fact that only the allies
can come and get them is fortunate
circumstance about which the adj
ministration is pleased.
But technically the Presidents
argument would be just as defensi-
BILE, and just as true, If it were Ger
many that controlled the seas, and
were therefore the only belligerent
able to come and get them
BELLIGERENTS WOULD PAY
In addition, this capacity would
be built up at the expense OF the
belligerents, for the price being
charged for planes allows consid-
cradle item for plant construction
and depreciation, enough so that II
the war runs on for any consider
able period, the entire cost OF all
the new plants win have been writ
ten off-paid for by the belligerents.
incidentally, this is being done
with the benevolent approval Of the
government agencies interested, in
GLIDING Henry Morgenthau Jr.
But the congressional investiga-
tons are small-time stuff for two
other reasons. In the first place, If
they are really conducted so as to
get at the facts being alleged
that military secrets are being be-
trayed-they will be doing swell
job for Nazi espionage. This is
only true, of course, on the assump-
ton that the Germans do not know
all about the so-called military
secrets. Unless one assumes that,
the whole thing becomes even more
ridiculous, for the whole idea Of
military secrets becomes a joke.

the good things of life nor hope of
any. The farmer would be simply
a slave of the state. There would
be no fear of want or hope of re-
ward to spur one on to that last
effort which develops the in
dividpal.
Sound natural growth comes from
within. So-called government as
sistance, which il followed by reg
ulation, Weakens that natural
growth. A farmer, with a block
and tackle, can raise a small tree
until 1t is six or eight inches taller.
1t will then look taller than its
neighbors, have more air and sum
shine, but its own source of strength
is weakened and 1t will die.
Such is the program that the
Fascists and Nazis, together with
some of our weaker American
minds, are proposing to us in or
der to cure our ills in this Land of
the Free.

friends, the love of Liberty pre-
walls. They will continue to tighten
their belts when wheat Is $O.4O a
bushel 20 they can profit and grow
fat when the price reaches $500.
They will insist that no one deny
them the right to run their farm or
limit their opportunities as indie
pendent American farmers.
This proposal from abroad that
our free farmers shall take orders
from a government as to when and
what they shall sow and reap and
how much they shall receive for
their labor should raise the fight

or vice president. and that great
many enthusiastic Farley men will
be saying for the next few years
that Farley was not nominated be-
cause of religious prejudice.
History has a way of repeating
itself. In 1924, the Democratic par
ty tore itself to pieces at Madison

issue.

that had been enEendered at Balti-
more, II years earlier, and this
present one has religion in it. You
won't get rid of it for a long time,

The McAdoo man stared off in
the distance for period Of ninutes.

said. II guess the best thing to
do would be to nominate AL Smith
next time. He'll take a. terrible
licking. Then we can nominate one
of our fellows in 1882 and he will
walk in"
The point OF all this is that Farley
is still very young. II they do throw
him downstairs at Chicago, which
seems probable, they may have to
turn to him in 1914. Stranger things
have happened.

neutrality-suspicious.
TOLERANCE

Perhaps there is no greater evil
in the world today than prejudice.
Events of the last few months prove
how base, cruel and abominable
race prejudice can be. And there
are other forms-personal, class, re-
ligious and political prejudices-all
poisonous and vicious.
Religious bigotry ought to be such
a rarity that it would find place
in Ripley's Believe it or Not" The
last placer where one would ex-
pect to find intolerance is in the
church, for true religion stands for
kindness, mercy and charity.
However, there are people who,
when they discover that candidate
for office, be he ever SO worthy and
outstanding, belongs to some certain
sect or denomination, give way to
emotional fears or antipathies. They
go into a huddle and start "whis-
pering campaign.
The political beliefs of some mar
row partisans are SO deeply root
ed that they look upon those of OPP
posing views as morons. Instead OF
using argument, they resort to
abuse, name-calling and PERSONAL
ties. The low level on which some
of our political campaigns are con-
Quoted is at least partly due to in
tolerance and prejudice.
If democracy is to work, we must
have mutual trust and understand
ing. There is no proper place here
for suspicion, animosity or bigotry
Our constitution is broad enough to
protect all classes in the free ex-
ercise of any religious creed or any
political belief that does not adj
vocate the overthrow of our govern
ment. 1t behooves every citizen to
be open-minded, fair-ninded and
sportsmanlike.

Dictatorship:
More important, however, than
the existence of huge reserves OF
agricultural products have been the
successful efforts of the National
Socialist Government in bringing
agricultural production to optimum
efficiency. Agriculture was made
independent of the exigencies of
fluctuating capitalist markets. A
policy of fixed prices and OF regu-
lated sales through government mar
kets, provides for the needs of the
consumers and assures a fair return
to the farmers"
This is an official German state

German government, and it is their
business.
