Appeal Made
For Jewish
Refugees
Miss Warburg Tells
Of Plans to Send
Youths to Palestine

An eloquent appeal in behalf OF
the refugee Jewish children of
Europe was made yesterday by Miss
Gisella Warburg Of London and
Berlin before capacity audience
In the auditorium Of the Jewish
Community Center.
Miss Warburg, member of the
German branch Of the internation-
ally known banking family, came to
Washington to confer with Mrs.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Henry T. Nor
genthau, jr., on the problems of
Youth Aliyah, an organization which
has undertaken removal Of Jewish
children from war zones, and coun-
tries of central Europe, to Pales-
tine
Shortly after the Austrian Ansch-
luss, Miss Warburg witnessed the
debarkation of Jewish children from
Germany and Austria into Scandi-
navian countries and later into Eng
land. She assisted in forming
camps, at first of a transitory ma
ture, but now permanent, where
children to be sent to Palestine, are
given preliminary training for work
there.
Training Camps Established.
The physical and psychological
hardships endured by the homeless
children has wrought inestimanle
harm, Miss Warburg said, and has
left them in a poor condition to
attempt the pioneer work which lies
before them in the new lands being
developed in Palestine. The train
ing camps, established in the Euro
pean countries, which have extended
a temporary haven to the young
refugees are making every effort,
she said, to build up their health
and morale. Only those whose
standards are the best are selected
to join the Youth Aliyah community
in Palestine, she added.
Our standards" Miss Warburg
said, "are based chiefly upon
whether a child wants to work and
knows how to work and whether a
child wants to learn and knows how
to learn"
Jewish youths of war-stricken
Europe, Miss Warburg continued,
want to become farmers through

Numerous contributions for Youth
Aliyah were received by Mrs. Moe
Gutenberg, president of the Wash
ington Hadassah, under whose aus
pices the meeting was held. Mrs.
Gutenberg spoke of Miss Warburg's
visit to the White House in the
morning, at which time, she stated,
Mrs. Roosevelt accepted a place on
the Sponsors Committee for Youth
Aliyah.
A group of solos was given by
Mr.. Hillel Lipsicus, cantor from
Palestine, and tea was served at
the conclusion OF the meeting.

TOO MANY FAMILIES ON TOO
SMALL FARMS

Since 1860 the number of farms
in this country has more than tripl-
ed. But the size of the average farm
has steadily decreased; as popula-
ton grew, farms were subdivided. In
1880, according to census figures
and estimates compiled by the Farm
Security Administration, about 10
percent of the country's farms were
of less than 20 acres, but today, IS
percent are of less than 20 acres. In
1880 nearly 80 percent of the farms
were less than SO acres in size. To
day, nearly 40 percent are less SO
acres.
The problem of the too-small farm
has been intensified in recent years.
1t was less serious as long as the
expansion of industry continued to
absorb millions of people from
farms. But with a shortage of jobs
in the cities, beginning with the
1929 depression, too many farm
people, who would ordinarily have
migrated to urban areas, have had to
remain in rural areas.
Meanwhile the productivity OF
millions of acres of farm land has
been impaired by erosion and waste
full farming; drought has routed
many families from their land. Areas
still being cultivated are too poor
to support adequately the present
population, much less a growing
population. Mechanization has dis
placed many former hired hands
from the rich lands who, if they are
going to continue farming, must add
to the millions competing for and
subdividing the remaining small
farms in poorer areas.

The winner-Clark w. Dellinger.
It wasn't done with mirrors, that
record smashing official yield of 1901
bushels of corn per acre which made
Clark w. Dellinger, Clark County, In
diana, 1889 national champion corn
producer. The enormous production
was the result of systematic use of
the latest and best corn-growing prac-
tees.
The fve-acre plot in 14-acre field
on the Ohio River bottom which Del
linger chose for his crop was natur-
ally fertile, but it came long way
from the perfection which he set as
his standard. The land had usually
been planted to corn. Last year he
allowed it to make tremendous un-
dergrowth, which was plowed under
about nine inches deep in May. The
land was fitted by two double discings,
two borrowings, and two cultipackings
before planting. Corn of the Johnson
County white variety, of his own
growing and selection, was planted
ie'tS Ill WAY. IL was IOWSu CifeG leGC
each way, with from two to three
kernels per hill.
Though the land v.x rich, he knew
that it had been useA and was not up
to its once virgin fertility, so he add
ed fertilizer of 0-14-6 analysis, apply
ing it to the hill at the rate of 1875
pounds per acre. Six civilizations
through the growing season cleared
the way.
H. R. Smalley, Director of Soil Inn
provement Work, The National Ferti-
lizer Association, commenting On why
the corn champion used fertilizer on
rich soil, said, "Big yields take fer
tility from the richest soil. The grain
alone removed from Dellinger's land
250 pounds of plant food per acre. A
5O-bushel corn crop, including slower,
removes 1856 pounds of plant food
from the land-82 pounds of nitrogen,
20 pounds of phosphoric acid, and rs
pounds of potash. Return of this
plant food to the soil is essential to
continuing yields"

sOIL.sAvING METHODS ADD 10
FARM INCOME

Most of those who have put soil
conservation methods into operation
on their farms found that they add
ed more than their cost to the farm
income, not to mention the saving OF
valuable soil fertility, according to
DR.. T. B. Symons, director of the
University of Maryland extension
service.
DR.. Symons points out that some
of the methods recommended for
preventing soil erosion and conserv-
ing fertility, such as contour farm
ing, strip-cropping, and terracing,
appear to many farmers as added ex-
pense in their farm operations,
which is contrary to the experience
of those who have tried them.
Great emphasis has properly been
placed on saving the soil, DR.. Symons
declared but he urges that the bene-
fit derived from saving water during
the critical growing period of many
crops must not be underestimated
Shortage of sufficient moisture att
certain times during their growth
is responsible for reducing the yield
and quality of number of crops
nearly every year, the extent of the
reduction depending upon the sea-
son. Measures to prevent the water
from running off the land and car
rying away the soil result in keep
ing the moisture where it can be
used by the crops. Every time man
cultivates a crop on the contour, he
says, the cultivator makes innumer-
able little dams to keep the water
from running off.
DR.. Symons points out that an
important benefit somewhat indi-
rectly is the improved plan for oper-
ating the entire farm that results
in nearly all cases where a syste-
matte attempt is made to control
erosion, In working out the best
methods for controlling erosion, he
says, plan for operating the farm
is usually developed in which the
various fields are devoted to the
kinds of crops that they are best
adapted to produce. Such a plan re-
suits in more efficient operation Of
the whole farm and greater returns
for the labor and effort put into the
farming operations.

SWAY Transatlantic Telephone
Conversation Links Towns In
United States And England
Rotary Clubs OF Salisbury, Md,
North Carolina And England
Exchange Greetings

A three-way transatlantic telephone
conversation uniting the Rotary Clubs
of Salisbury, Maryland, Salisbury,
North Carolina and Salisbury,
England, was recent feature of the
Maryland Clubs goth anniversary.
These three are the only Salisbury
clubs among the 5000 Rotary Clubs
in the world.
DR.. J. d. Blackwell, president of
the club in Salisbury, Maryland placed
the transatlantic call which linked
these three towns together. He ex-
changed greetings with H. G. Ware,
president of the club in Salisbury,
England and Edward Mccall, presi-
dent of the Salisbury, North Carolina
club.
The call, which was amplified so
that all who attended the celebration
might hear, was placed at $3.50 p. m.
which was l 80 a. m. in England. The
British and North Carolina officials
congratulated the Maryland Club and
asserted their belief that the inter-
national organization had done much
to further good relations between
countries.

RACKETEERING IN LABOR
UNIONS

The amazing story of thousands of
rank-and-file, dues-paying labo +
union workers deprived of any
democratic control of their own
organizations, forced to acquiesce
in abuses they do not approve and
aware OF conditions Of racketeering
and extortion against which they
dare not protest, is gradually COM
ing to light in Washington, as a
by-product of the Justice Depart
ment's Antitrust Law enforcement
throughout the building trades.
There is mounting evidence from
labor sources that many organized
union groups and large numbers of
local members of labor organizations
do not agree with the public state
ments by officials of organized labor
Directing to the enforcement OF the
Antitrust laws.
There is mounting evidence that
while powerful union executives
are seeking to prevent the appli-
cation of the Antitrust Act to labor
practices, unionized workers are
seeking to get the law enforced in
self-protection.
There is mounting evidence of
genuine opposition to official dicta-
torship in the building trades unions
by rank-and-file members who do not
want to see their organizations used
to perpetuate by coercive measures
costly practices which choke up pro-
duction and ultimately eliminate
jobs. 1t is fact that these workers
are volunteering by the thousands
to give inside information which will
aid the Justice Department to carry
on investigations which leading I'M
ion officials are opposing, and many
are requesting the assistance of the
Government to end abuses Of power
by union executives which manifestly
lie beyond the scope of the Antitrust
Laws.
This evidence is most illuminat-
ing when examined in concrete
cases and it is evidence which is
made available not as any refiec-
ton upon labor, not in criticism OF
unionism as such, but as testimony
which those familiar with the prob
lem hope will help protect labor
from enemies within it's own ranks.

TRAFFIC. SAFETY In MARYLAND

AS evidence of the effective work
for traffic safety being done by Gov
ernor O'Conor's Maryland Traffic
Safety Committee, it is pointed out
that Maryland, with 1870 reduc-
ton in fatalities during February,
was immensely better off than the
country as whole, which reported
an increase of 1919 in deaths.
All together, 2170 persons lost
their lives on the streets and high
ways of the country, at a rate OF
more than seventy day. In Mary
land, however, the number OF fatal
tiles was reduced from 81 in 1889 to
20 in February this year.
In commenting on the splendid
showing made by Maryland in con-
trast to the unfavorable record in
other states, Isaac S. George, Chair
man of the Public Education divi-
sion of the Maryland Traffic Safety
Committee, said, "This saving OF
lives shows what can be accomplish
ed when everyone is conscious OF his
duty as a good citizen and observe
the simple laws of courtesy and
care"
That Maryland is becoming Safety
conscious is evidenced from reports
that are constantly reaching the Of
fic of the Maryland Traffic Safety
Committee. From a number OF sec
lions come reports of improvement
in "dimming lights, Of more care
in observing traffic signs. From one
county it has been learned that
not a single arrest for an automobile
violation was made throughout the
twenty-nine days of February. This
record kas achieved in the face OF
the fact that the State Policemen
stopped many cars, reprimanding
and advising drivers, and keeping
close watch, even though no infrac-
ton was sufficiently serious to just
ify arrest.
Of forty states whose traffic re-
ports are tabulated by the National
Safety Council, only ID, besides
Maryland, showed a decrease In
fatalities while % showed decided
increase.
