wisc-not unless they at least pre-
tend TO be mighty loyal. That's the
New Deals story. But president OIL
the United States, they explain, can t
be so high-h aaded; it wouldn't be
democratic.
They add that they don't believe
Wendell ever was much of Demo-
crat with a big d. either, although
he called himself one for years and
years.
Their theory is that he professcd
Democratic principles because his
power realm is largely IN DlHle
commonwealth and Southern) and
probably he considered it good bust
ness to align himself with the popu-
lar kind of southern politics.
No Hereditary Aristocrat
II isn't made quite so clear why
he Topped to Rcpublicanism lately.
Maybe he Topped because he senscd
a change in southern political senti-
mcnt.
The fact is that Wendell always
seemed to me Qve met him fire.
uucntly in a ncwSpapermans capa-
city, TO be quite a satisfactory lit
tie ID democrat. Anyhow, he's in
formal, approachable and an excel
lent mixer There's nothing aristo-
cratic about him.
I've met some of his underlings,
also. They don't refer to him as a
hard-boiled boss. ContrariWise they
describe him as good fellow, but
perhaps he scares 'em into it.
The popular impression is that Il
power magnate is plutocrat, not
only in his own right, but born with
golden spoon in his trap-a guy
who doubtless has made a lot of his
money, but who had his original
stake handed down to him by his
ancestors.
Self-Made Man
WilIikie doesn't belong one particle
in that category.
He's a native Hoosier, and his
family absolutely was all right, but
not at all affluent. Wendell worked
his own way through Indiana uni
versity and on into the legal pro-
fcssion. He got into public utilities
through their law departments. To-
day he's a New Yorker like Tom
DeWey-also a western product
(Michigan).
Wendell, in his youth, travelled
around the country considerably.
He's been farm laborer. Some of
his travelling was done in box cars.
So if Wendell's a mabanet, he's
earned his magnate-ism.
Likewise, by his capable, though
informal oratory, he's converted
himself from very dark Republi
can horse. into something of a sure
enough candidate.

This Month on the Farm

We recommend the following good
farm practices for the month Of June:
The farmer who grows beef cat
tie, sheep, and swine gets a breath
ing spell during June The sheep
and beef cattle should be on pasture,
and, except for salt and water, will
need little attention. II sheep are on
permanent pasture, it will be neccs-
sary to drench the animals periodi-
cally 10 control stomach worms.
While the livestock man can take
it easy, hot weather only adds to
the problems of the poultryman. Not
only is this true with young birds,
but the mature flock as well. Most
of the early-hatched pullets are
ready for vaccination against chicken
pox if this has not already been done.
Then, the poultryman should watch
for overcroWding at this period.
Other factors in producing healthy
strong pullets are: feeding a we'll
balanced diet, constructing summer
range shelters, checking for internal
parasites, and providing plenty Of
watering places and shade.
Small grain should be harvested
when dry and shocks so built as to
withstand wind and shed" rain.
Much grain is lost each year because
it was cut when too wet or shocked
Another important job is the cul-
tivation of growing crops. Cultivate
corn, cotton, and tobacco steadily
during this month, at least every
week or ten days. A good rule is TO
cultivate as soon as possible after
each rain. The third important job
is getting soybeans and coWpcas
planted on @tL5blc lane! 10 DO this,
get into tn" field Immediately after
the grain is cut. PloW the land well,
