a custom. Mr.. Garner was Mr..
Roosevelt's choice in 1882 and 1886.
1t is true that the first time it was
by reason of a trade, without which
Mr.. Roosevelt himself could not pos
sibly have been nominated, but it
is also true that Mr.. Roosevelt's
delegates, at his bidding, made good
that bargain.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Willkie
was consulted about his choice for
running mate, that he selected Char
lie McNary, and that the senator
didn't want the job and could not
have been nominated without Mr..
Wilkes backing. Thus, however
hateful the method used to put Mr..
Wallace across, it can hardly be
used to attack this nomination, I'M
less pots are to be permitted to call
kettles black.
After all, there was an element
of courage and an avoidance of the
usual skullduggery in nominating
Mr.. Wallace. He is Doctor Newt
.Newee New of all the New Dealers.
Not all Democrats are New Deal
ers by long shot. That rift was
not never more apparent than at
Chicago. Great rips and wounds in
party solidarity were made.
An obvious strategy for the heal
ing of these assures would have
been to nominate at least one Demo-
crat on the Democratic ticket. Mr..
Roosevelt certainly is not one. Mr..
Wallace is even farther away. His
nomination puts the whole New Deal
theory of spending ourselves rich
right in the spotlight as the un-
fuzzed issue in this fight.
Adding it all up, while I can't ap-
plaud either the candidacy or the
method that made it, I can respect
or at least understand both.
Even if the fatefully unexpected
should happen, and Mr.. Wallace
should one day become President Of
the United States, we can be as
sured of a Chief Executive who
would be honest, straightforward
and wholly unaddicted to political
cleverness and devious two-way
thought and action. That would be
something new and refreshing. Con-
sidering everything, I am not sure
that it is not, the number one re-
quirement in the choice of a Presi-
dent There simply are no super
men,.

Frame Vegetable Plots
Are Proving Successful

Farm families in sections of the
country subject to excessive heat
and insufficient rainfall have found
that they can still raise enough
fresh vegetables for home use by
planting frame gardens.
Though they have been used by
some farmers for a number of
years, it was not until the past year
that their use became widespread.
The Farm Security administration
has sponsored the gardens as an aid
to balanced diet, especially where
drouth has prevented farmers from
growing many vegetables for home
consumption.
Many of the farmers have used
scrap lumber in constructing the
frame. It is usually four or five
feet wide, IL to 10 inches high, and
as long as desired. Frequently a
subirrigation system is installed to
improve production. This requires
less water and less labor than sur
face irrigation-nor does the gar
den crust over. Homemade con-
crete tiles, or even tin cans are used
for subirrigation. They are placed
in rows two or three feet apart the
length of the garden plot at depth
of IL to. IA inches, and connected
to the water supply. Over this sys-
tenn is laid fertile soil. Sacks can
be placed around the sides to give
protection from the wind and sun.
A thin cloth is spread over the top
to protect the green stuff from ex-
cessive heat or cold.
AS soon as the soil has been
cleared of one crop, it can be re-
planted. Thus, the same families
have fresh vegetables most of the
year around. These frame gardens
cut down the grocery bill, but an
other important function is supply
ing food with some of the vitamins
necessary for proper nutrition and
good health.

Aiding Farm Migrants

''While federal.agencies have been
acting to help the migrants already
on the road, their main efforts"
Secretary Wallace recently ex-
planned to the senate civil liberties
committee, "have been devoted to
checking migration at it's source.
For every dollar which the Farm
Security administration has used to
aid migrants in California, for ex-
ample, it has used $40 for the re-
Mobilization of needy farm families
in the five states from which most
of the Pacific coast migrants origi-
nally came-Oklahoma, Texas, Kan
sas, Arkansas, and Missouri.
Throughout the nation it has used
nearly $48O, 100000 in the last five
years to help low-income farm fam
lilies get a new foothold in their
home communities.

ESTIMATE OF WALLACE

AS was painfully evident at the
convention, lot of people actively
dislike Henry Wallace and lot
more dislike the way he was
rammed down the throat of the
Democratic party by the President.
On the first point-not liking Mr..
Wallace-you've got to know man
to make that choice and Henry isn't
easy to know. He is shy, not very
articulate, and has as little political
oomph as anybody in the Fourth
New Deal. But if, as has been my
privilege, you get really close to Mr..
Wallace, you will discover very
fine specimen of what John L. Lewis
oratorically calls the genus homo"
He is simple, honest, studious and
kindly. There is no side or pretense
in his makeup. He has good mind,
if not brilliant one. He is incapa-
BILE of the clever little schemes that
have so characterized and discredit-
ed many acts of the Fourth New
Deal.
I disagree with almost every an
gle of his philosophy and program
and I doubt if he has the qualities
of leadership appropriate to great
crisis, but I would trust his sincerity
of purpose as far as that of any
man l know in government.
The spectacle of a President so
openly forcing his own choice for
vice president on his party, espe-
cially in such dangerous times as
these, is highly distasteful, but the
effect if not the particular methods
here used, seems to have become

SHEEP RAISING
YIELDS PROFITS
Breeding, Management and
Feeding Vital Factors.
By L. 1. CASE


Growers who make the most mon
ey from their sheep and who re-
ceive top prices for their lambs and
wool aren't turning this trick by ac-
cident
They have learned something
about the many factors which con-
tribute to growing a product in
ready demand by the market. Chief
among these factors are good breed
ing, feeding, and management prac-
tees.
In breeding, the successful sheep
man is careful to select short-legged,
compact, blocky rams rather than
the long-legged, coarse, outstanding
type. Then he ships to market each
year his wether lambs and part of
his eve lambs but holds back the
best eve lambs for replacing old and
poor-producing members of the
flock.
Good feeding, placed by many
sheepmen ahead Of good breeding, is
likewise highly important in the pro-
duction of high-grade market ami
mails. Plenty of milk is probably
the most important feed item in pro-
ducing top-notch lambs. This means
that the ewes must be fed for milk
production.
Many growers feed their lambs
some grain in addition to the milk.
This is often placed in creep where
the lambs may help themselves
without being disturbed by the old
er sheep.
In addition to good feeding and
good breeding, there are large
number of approved management
practices that the most successful
sheepmen follow. One of the most
important is a regular monthly
drenching for the control of internal
parasites.

POWER

Maybe it is possible to ride lie
to victory. Hitler says it is and
seems to have proved it for the
moment.
If political position, patronage and
favor could pervert all the dele
gates to a great convention, per-
haps it could pervert majority of
the voters of a great people.
If gluttons for power bludgeon
the democratic part of a democratic
people into Hitler plebiscite, what
would they do with the so-called
war powers of the President.

Gambling Tests Quality

More poultrymen - particularly
those who sell direct to housewives
or local retailers-should candle
their eggs before selling them.
Sometimes an absolutely fresh,
new-laid egg will be unsuitable for
food, and if delivered the reputa-

bloody white, a blood spot, or meat

ding will take only a few minutes

a light make good candle.

500 dead and approximately 2.700
badly hurt. even without the figures
for last night, when the attack at
least Appropriated the intensity of
the previous two raids.
There were attacks, too. outside
of London-in Northwestern Eng
land and rural districts of the SOUTH
west and in the Midlands. Wales
and Scotland-but they were over
shadowed by the fury of the blows
at the capital of empire.
The bombardment finally was
broken off lust before dawn by a
tremendous surprise aircraft
barrage which beat back the last of
the raiders.
There was no indication whether
the fierce barrage in the flame
tinged sky over the central city was
the answer to German night raiding
which a high Royal Air Force au-
thority said was being developed.
Raids Punch Lessened
One hundred and twenty persons
were reported buried in the wreck
age Of 20 houses shattered in a
single district. Rescue crews digging
into the rubble by dawn had found
only 20 alive. A number of casual
ties were reported at a maternity
hospital. A home for the aged, a
London County Council housing es-
tate and numerous workmen's cot
tages in the East End were hit.
Uncounted fires blazed in the wild
ened areas of ruin. Some in CEN
trail London were extinguished
quickly.
Although the attack at times
reached the intensity of the raids
the previous two nights, it appeared
to lack the sustained punch which
they maintained. The bombing was
less steady and early indicat tions
were that fewer big fires were
started and fewer bombs were
dropped.
but the firemen worked without a
letup to localize the flames. From
city roof-top the reflected glow of
the flames could be seen in all direc-
tions. The crackle from the nearby
fires mingled with the drone of
bombers.
Even after the all-clear signal
brought weary Londoners out of
their shelters, the battle of Britain
went on with a thunderous cross
Channel due of destruction by
long range guns resuming the she'll
ing started the night before.
Invasion Threat.
The heavy firing by British coastal
cannon on the southeast coast chalk
cliffs and German little Berthas'
on Cape Girls Nez brought the threat
of invasion back into sharper focus
in the battle picture.
Some observers here have said
German concentration recently on
the blasting of London is a side is
sue-that the. previously pounded
English coast still is the real front
line.
Meanwhile, England speeded its
pilot training to keep apace with
increased airplane production.
The Air Ministry appealed last
night for more pilots, gunners and
observers because of the continued
growth of the r. A. F." and raised
the maximum age limits for pilots
from % years to 80.
The third of the big night raids
on London followed the same pat
tern adopted by the Nazi attackers
since they switched from daylight
bombings and concentrated on the
