Remember at our annual Session

send it on time. Send it to c. A.

Raises Best Corn By
Skipping Third Rows

By skipping every third row,
when planting, Emmett Ford, one
halt mile south of Mound BAYOU,
has grown a crop of corn which
will probably yield as many bush
els per acre as any in this section.
Each stalk in his field of matured
corn has two or three unusually
large ears which are we'll filled
out. Every third row in his corn
field and that of his tenants is
planted with peas which also have
produced we'll. He also has some
young corn which looks very
promising.
MIR. Ford's cotton crop ranks
with the best also. The large stalks
are we'll fruited from bottom to
top with mature bolls.
Mrs. I. B. Walker and her adult
class canned large quantity of
corn for Mr.. and Mrs. Ford last
week, who are following the live
at-home program very closely.
They produce more food and feed
stuff than they need and have
corn, oats and hay for sale almost
all Of the time.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Strong
have a large and promising sweet
potato crop on Mr.. Ford's farm
and the local NYA workers have
raised a one and one-hslf acre
truck patch there. Mr.. Ford
stopped at our office with a truck
load of large pumpkins raised by
the NYA.
Miss Daisy Lee Cole, NYA Su-
pervisor, says that they have
raised all of the vegetables they
have needed and have canned
more than 500 quarts of tomatoes,
corn, beans and other vegetables.
They are beginning a fall garden
this week.
Mr.. Ford says that his crops on
six-mile lake look just as pros
porous as those near town.

an old political maxim that you
can't beat somebody with nobody"
and in the past the vote has run
from 10 to 20 to l in favor of a
single candidate entered in such a

delegation. Presumably, therefore, if
Mr.. Dewey enters alone he will
have the delegation instructed for

In the primary 149 delegates are
elected to the Republican State Con-

ties and in the legislative districts

If there is more than one candi-
date entered in the presidential pref

given, which may prove important in
the event there are as many as three
candidates entered. In the present
instance, however, it does not look
as though there would be more than
two, and probably only one candi-
date. At the Offices Of Senator VAN
denberg of Michigan it was said to-
day the Michigan Senator will not

Merrill GriswoId Urges
Rewriting Bill Into
Simple Provisions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Merrill Griswold, an investment
trust official, condemned as "un-
sound legislation" today Securities
Commission proposal for regulation
of investment companies and urged
that the measure be rewritten into
"a few simple provisions"
Mr.. Griswold, chairman of Mas
sachusetts Investors Trust of
Boston, testified at hearing before
Senate banking subcommittee. He
urged the committee to study legis-
lative enactments of Great Britain
and various States as guide to re-
vising the measure. He named Ohio,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin as
States in which Substantial progress
has been made in eliminating most
of the abuses to which open-end
management companies the type
represented by the witnesS are
susceptible"
Suggests Seven Provisions.
In "open-end" trusts shareholders
have a right to withdraw their pro-
portionate share of assets at any
time.
Mr.. Griswold suggested provisions
to cover these subjects, among
others:
Dealings with insiders as princi-
pals; standard accounting principles
and adequate reports to sharehold-
ers; proper limitations on borrow
ing: restriction of buying on margin
or short selling: disclosure of source
of dividends; proper diversiflcation
OF investments; provision for re-
moval OF improper management.
Would Limit Authority.
IF adequate study is given to the
drafting OF legislation On these SUBJ
jects," the witness said, I'VE believe
that they can be adequately covered
with a minimum of delegation of au-
thority to the S. E. c."
A witness yesterday urged that the
proposed legislation be sent back to
the S. E. C. for redrafting in COLA
boration with members Of the in
dustry.
Asserting that the industry de-
sired enactment of regulatory legis-
lation, Paul Cabot, president of the
State Street Investment Corp. OF
Boston. suggested that the commit
tee outline the broad principles 1t
wished to have incorporated in the
bill and then let the S. E. C. and
representatives of the industry
chosen by the committee work out
details.
Mr. Cabot and Mahlon E. Traylor,
president of the Massachusetts Dis
tributors. Inc. of Boston, criticized
primarily what they said were too
broad discretionary powers which

cided upon by the cabinet economic
council on Monday, less than "a
hours after the government had
lifted three-day prohibition on the
loading of freight cars and barges
for Germany.
German Demands Dropped.
German quarters persisted in a
belief that Rumania had used the
loading ban to force Germany to
drop economic demands, including
one for a decrease in the value of
the Rumanian leu in terms of the
German mark, which would permit
Germany to buy more Rumanian
goods with given amount of Ger
man money, and another, for re-
duction of recently raised Rumanian
freight rates
Germany dropped these demands
Sunday. Now, German quarters
point out, Rumania, after getting
Germany to drop the demands, has
announced still further measures
hampering the Reich.
Rumania also had promised, ac-
cording to German sources, to ex-
port Temporarily" raw materials
from the embargo list.
Rumanians explained that their
prospective wheat crop would leave
scarcely enough for the nations own
needs, let alone exports for Ger
many. The German reply to this Is
that the prospective failure is due
largely to Rumania's S refusal to heed
Berlin's advice to demobilize 1,6OO,-
600 men under arms so that all fields
could be planted.

that Germany will seek further

Roosevelt Meetinu
With Farley Arouses
Political Speculation
Postmaster General
Joins Base Boil Come
Party at Lost Minute
By JOHN e.. HENRY

Those who make the Nations po-
litical guesses were specula ting
furiously today on what might have
happened yesterday between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley.
The latter, also identified as Dem
ocratic national chairman, New
York State Democratic chairman
and an avowed candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
had his first luncheon engagement
in many weeks with Mr.. Roosevelt
at the White House. Later, they
went to the opening baseball game
together, both riding in the Presi-
dents car and posing smilingly for
the photographers.
Strangely enough, it had been
tentatively announced on Monday
that Mr.. Farley would be in the
Presidents baseball party, but when
the official list was given out shortly
before noon yesterday the Post
master Generals name was missing.
Inquiries brought the explanation
that he would be at the White
House for lunch, but would not be
going to the game with the Chief
Executive.
He Went to the Game.
Busting in to keep his luncheon
engagement at l o'clock, Mr.. Farley
indicated to reporters that he would
be out shortly after o'clock. In
stead, he reached for his hat and
coat about 2:30 O'clock and went
back through the Presidents Office to
join Mr.. Roosevelt in the motorcade
forming for the trip to Griffith Sta
dium.
Throughout the game they chatted
in the same friendly fashion that
marked their relationship before Mr..
Farleys positive declaration some
weeks ago that he is personally in
the presidential race to stay. Close
by and greeting The Chief" and
Mr.. Farley with smile and a wave
was Vice President Barner, another
open candidate for the Democratic
nomination.
HdIuOuy 11clu measuring.
With nothing in the way of con-
crete information on which to base
speculation, the best guess on the
Democratic picture seems to be
about as follows:
That for the moment at least Mr..
Roosevelt is in a mood not to run
for a third term. With the first
break made by Mr.. Garner, Mr.
Farley following shortly after, and
now Federal Security Administrator
McNutt taking leave of absence
for the purpose of building up his
own presidential prospects, the
President may finally have become
disturbed at these riffs in the party's
front. A restoration of harmony
with Mr.. Farley, at least outwardly,
could be reassuring to Democrats
who have been particularly alarmed
at the size of the Republican votes
in several primaries.
Whether this gesture of harmony
is to 60 any deeper is difficult to pre-
dict on the mere showing of
luncheon and baseball game.
Meanwhile, the President is keep
ing a crowded schedule of appoint
ments-apparently intending to take
a brief vacation before the congress
sional adjournment rush.
The Associated Press reported last
night that Mayor w. G.. Harry of
Warm Springs had announced that
Mr.. Roosevelt was expected there
on Friday, but the White House has
declined comment thus far.
