BOOK REVIEW

A warning lest the conditions de-
picted in the film, 1.-THE Grapes OF
Wrath" become much more wide
spread than at present is contained
In a pamphlet, "Adrift on the Land"
published by the Public Affairs Com
mittee, 80 Rockefeller Plaza, New
York City.
"Adrift on the Land" was written
| by Paul s. Taylor, professor of eco
Monies at the University of California,
who has long been recognized as one
of Americas leading authorities on
agricultural labor problems.
"The march of power farming in

is feeding the steady westward-flowing
stream of refugees who will Join the
mass of rowing labor from Arizona to
Washington !. The invasion of south
ern cotton culture by power farming
is well under way in important areas.
It's progress is 'spotty,' but the pattern
of social and economic effects which
family farms, larger farms operated
by wage labor, dependence on mobile
labor reserves to meet seasonal peak
demands for cotton choppers and pick
ers. These reserves are being re-
cruited largely from families who, I'M
til recently, were tenants, troopers,
or laborers on the plantations, but
who are having the ground cut from
under them.
1.-THE harvest will remain a hand
operation requiring large number of
seasonal laborers until mechanical
pickers become available on COM
basis" DR.. Taylor adds, ''but
when this occurs, the mobile labor re-
serves required by semi-mechanization
will sustain second shock Their
present displacement from the land
will be followed by the loss of even
the seasonal jobs which now remain"
Along with mechanization has come
a rapid development of large farming
which has destroyed the traditional
basis of American agriculture. "The
great strikes which periodically wrack
he agricultural industry of California
and Arizona" DR.. Taylor declares, "are
lot strikes between the ordinary |
American farmer and his hired man
They are rather struggles between in
lividuals and corporations, who are |
more properly called agricultural
and the workers they en-
,ly for particularly specialized opera

great profit to state and nation could

been the rule rather than the excep-
ton! That the electorate can be
fooled over and over again by cliques
bent upon special privilege and plum
der is a whitening commentary on our
boosted democratic processes. To
eliminate this outworn deception, pro-
gressive groups should in advance of
the primaries hold Town Meeting

It Is not so easy-this trick OF
keeping the salad dressing together
unless you know the secret Of
mixing and blending. In my kit
chen, OF course, where we make
French dressing In UNBELIEVABLE
quantities each day, we have the
advantage Of an electric mixer
which performs Its work so
thoroughly that II is perhaps not
fair to compare the texture OF our
dressing with that made In the
average home. Nevertheless, II you
will try this recipe, you Will find
II much more likely to hold together

Plaza Salad Dressing
Mix thoroughly one tablespoon
OF mayonnaise, one tablespoon OF
strained chill sauce, pinch OF
English mustard, half teaspoon OF
prepared mustard, O pinch Of sugar,
q pinch Of salt and pepper, q pinch
OF Paprika. Add first quality olive
oil, O very little at o time, beating
constantly. When enough oil has
been added TO bring the mixture TO
your taste, and to the proper con-
sistency for French dressing, add q
dash Of tabasco or Worcestershire
sauce and vinegar to taste. Use
as O dressing for any salad recipe
that calls for French dressing.
This foundation recipe can be
varied In any number OF ways by
adding chopped pickles, heets, hard

TWO very important factors ef-
fecting the safety OF milk are: "a
the health OF the dairy COW, and ca
the pasteurization OF milk. Modern
methods Of disease control have
demonstrated ways OF eliminating
diseases In animals. On the other
hand, routine pasteurization OF the
milk supply makes O double safe
check on such disease.
PaSteurigation Ia not O substitute

reducing milk borne diseases aS bo-
vine tuberculosis, septic sore throat,
scarletfever, tifdulant fever, typhoid
fever, and diphtheria. The changes
OF contracting O milk borne disease
today are less than ever before. The
hazard exists chiefly In rural dis
tricts or small cities.
In talking about pasteurlsation II
Is always well 10 speak about the
nutritive value OF pasteurized milk,
None OF the substances In milk are
materially affected by pasteuri2a-
ton. There may BIO slight loss In

other common foods and the loss,

creased safety and protection from
disease which is provided BY pas

slight difference which there may be
In food value.

II has been said that the average
citizen takes for granted the safety
OF his milk supply. Perhaps re-
ports Of health officials which show
that most large cities are practically
free from milk borne epidemics has
something TO do with this conf
dence.
Large cities of 100000 or more
population have stepped ahead OF
smaller cities In the progress they
have made In securing O safe milk
for their citizens. In 1895, the
chances OF contracting O milk borne
disease was twelve times greater In
