FARMERS URGED TO
PLANT GARDENS NOW

Now is the time to plant a vege-
table garden is the advice of Coun-
ty Agent Moore of Washington
County. With spring coming so
fast and with trees and plants re-
turning to life, garden seeds of
early vegetables should be planted
at once.
There never was more import
ant time than now for every farm
to have vegetable garden, says
Mr. Moore. He emphasizes that
food will win this war just as it
did the last war. Farmers should
be thinking not only about raising
food for SALE he says. Their first
thoughts should be to raise a suffi-
cient supply of food to feed their
families. He urges that every far
mer plant a garden large enough
to supply all the fresh vegetables
needed during the growing season
and for supply to can and store
for winter use.
Every can or jar of vegetables
canned and stored on a Maryland
farm means a can Of vegetables for
a family in Britain to whom this
nation has undertaken to supply
food says Mr.. Moore. Vegetables
grown for home use will release
vegetables from commercial chan
nels for shipment to the Nations
Allies. 1t is wise to plan ahead
for next winters food supply by
planning a garden now, one large
enough to supply all the needs of
the family for the whole year.
Mr.. Moore states that the Exten-
sion Service is sponsoring a Vic
tory Garden Campaign in the
County under the joint leadership
of the County Agent and the Home
Demonstration Agent. The goal
fNr the County is an adequate
Victory Garden on every farm.
This is a part of a nationwide pro-
gram of farm gardens for victory.
1t is always good policy for a
farm family to have a garden. Now
it has become patriotic duty,
emphasizes Mr.. Moore who urges
every farmer to make plans at
once for an adequate garden to
help assure victory by raising
enough food for his own family as
we'll as food for sale.

tial attacks, Germany and Japan both won huge preliminary victories. We, the United Nations, have not even begun to recapture what the Axis has conquered. Thanks first to Britains and China's dogged endurance, and next to Russia's heroic resistance, we have slowed the pace of Japanazi progress. We have forced the Axis to waste so much man. power and material that -- in all prob ability - Hitler and Hirohito cannot possibly grind the United Nations into submission.
 Nazi spokesmen now admit this by clear inference, Hitler'S latest speech was a clear declaration that from now on he plans to play for a stalemate. If we per- init Hitler to achieve his stalemate, then he will not have won his major goal - world conquest = but he will have gone far toward it. The best terms on which we could obtain peace in such stale mate would leave Germany and Japan masters of the world, with Britain apd the United States as economic vassels or the fascist New Order and Continental Eu- rope submissive cogS in the Nazi macnlne'
 Hitler cannot win everything. Bue we can. We can destroy fascism as mili- tant world force. But we have not done this yet. We have not even started to do this vet. We have not so much as halted the military advance of NaZism. So far as we in the United. States are concerned, the hardest part of the job still lies ahead. We must finish stopping Hitler and the Japs, we must undo all that they have accomplished thus far, and then we do to them what up to now they have been doing to us only we must finish the job Hitler proved incap- able of finishing, and press on to com plete victory.

The Final Week

Next week will witness the final efforts by our local and state candidates to per Suade the voting public to listen to thelr pleas for election. It has not been par ticularly exciting campaign to date, but that is not the fault of either the candl- dates, their managers, or the political parties It's the age we are going through right now. These are war times ana busy times. People are working, i'll many instances, as they never worked before in their lives We aren't sure of what lies ahead of us and many are content to let the future alone and concentrate on the present.
 In this respect The Democrat urges consideration for the candidates ot the Democratic party here in ConnectlcuI' Those in office deserve to be kept there; those seeking office for the first tune should be elected In this war crisis the Democratic Party has proved a mighty bulwark against forces that easily coulo have led us astray and perhaps pusneo this nation much closer to destructlon than it has been in the crucial months since last December. Don't think for minute that we believe only Democrats can save the nation or keep the ship or state on even keel. Far from it.
 Republicans used to have such the ories about our state government. Their motto was to never give Democrat an evUn break. They'd like to get back to those days, too, as can be noted In the trend of the utterances of their cam paigners. On the other hand Democrats are concentrating on campaign that tends to elevate the party and its prlncl- pies rather than its individual members. we think this should be an important factor here in Connecticut. Government under such Democratic leaders as pr. Wilbur L. Cross and Governor Robert A. Hurley has surpassed all COP. expecta- tionS; it is entitled to endorsement.
 A week from next Tuesday thousands ofRoters will go to the polls. One way to convince Adolf Hitler Premier Mussollnl, and Emperor Hirohito that we are III deadly earnest is to vote for our govern ment. Let's prove the party system is the right one You can't do 1t by staying home or passing up the polls; every regis tered voter has to cast ballot. It's duty and responsibility.

Bows in the Service

The last chance to show solicitude for boys in the service in at least two detl- nite respects is almost at hand. We refer to remembering the men out of this coun- try at ChristmaSs giving the lads still ln the country chance to vote on Tuesday, November 8. The former is extremely important now because postal authorities have set November l as the deadline for mailing packages that must go to soldiers in foreign zones. And, much to the Sor- row of loving parents and close friends, foodstuffs are termed contraband and shouldn't be sent Delays in shipment, etc, might cause such perishables to go bad.
 On the subject of fruit cakes, the kind that can be kept for weeks and weeks, there is no special ruling and postal au- thorities continue to place them In the forbidden class, although probably good many have been shipped and some Undoubtedly will get through to their c0nsignee. It's best, though, to concen- trate on Christmas remembrances that can stand hard travel and will not be af- fected by delays in transit or delivery.
 One other thought for the boys Tn service right now is making 1t possible f0s them to vote on Tuesday, November 2, They may use absentee ballots, but
 formal application for the same must be filed with the Town Clerk, Inasmuch as time must be allowed for passage back and forth Of the application and then the ballot, it's obvious this matter should be taken care of immediately. Appliea- tions are obtalnable at many sources locally, the Town Clerks office or from political organizations. Even letter from a soldier, properly signed, will be re- gardcd as formal application, under an Interpretation of the absentee voting rules.
 Don't let these things go too long, you mothers, fathers. brothers, sisters. rela- lives and friends of men in the service.

HERE'S THAT COW AGAIN
GNeR York HeraId.Trlbunel


 one of the really moot and knotty questions of American history has to do with what started the great Chicago fire. The problem has been thrsshed out time and again, but never quite satisfactorily. First, there was the story that .se widow OLeaFy's COW started # by kicking over a lantern. Then somebody said no, that there was no such COW; some reporter of the old imagina- tive Chicago school had invented the animal. Then came what is known to historians as the Theory of the Three Buns, which had 1t that three unwaslled and under privileged temporary tenants Of Ms. OLeaTy's barn, who were drinking and smoking, started the fire aeei- dentally, One of the authorities for this was one Peg-Leg Sullivan. Nov The Associated Press has 6 elFcuillr stantial story from Indianapolis quoting a butcher, MT, Joseph A, Kicker. as saying that the GOV was no myth: indeed. he says his father bought Mrs. 0Leary's GOV and ealf and butchered them, saving their hides for some years as nlenlentos, Mir. Kicker says the COW started the fire, but he admits the presence ln the barn Of the three buns, How does he know who started the fireg We must view hls testimony as iIl- conclusive. For our own part we shall continue to hold to our cher- islled original belief that the COW started the fire by kicking . lighted lantern and that she, and she alone, is the eulpFit. And we'll go farther and throw one more hypothesis Into the controversy: We suspect that peg-keg Sullivan, one Of the three buns. was really the Loat pauphln.

We will be interested to learn what fate befalls an amendment to the l8-l9 year draft bill now before the U. $. Sen ate instigated by Senator John A. Dan aher. The amendment would exempt from selective service in the current conflict all veterans of World War l. Any body who served with the armed forces from April 6, 1917, to November Fl, 1918, would be considered eligible TOT exemption. We don't think the majority of World War veterans Wouiu support this amendment, because many of them are actively engaged in the pres ent war. others will go If called, lew would attempt to get out or serving Dy virtue of previous war experience.

Communist Cooperation

The Daily Worker, official organ of the Communist Party in the United States, complains that when Henry Kaiser went east for 10000 shipyard workers, he left untapped reservoir of 5O,O0O California Negroes looking for jobs. By its treat ment of the article, the Worker inters that Kaiser was discriminating against Negroes. The established fact that Kaiser is willing to use Negroes, but has been prevented by the union with which he has contract, was not mentioned.
 The Workers approach gives typical Communist picture of big business man discriminating against race. The truth is that it is not the big business man, but little unioneers, who are keeping Negroes out of the better jobs in Kaiser shipyards.

Retirement of Edward J. Flynn as national chairman of the Democratic Party is being rumored in political cir cles. It is said that he is in line for diplomatic appointment. Other reports, too, heard here and there in Democratic circles are that James A Farley, former national chairman and former Post master General, who still retains the New York State Democratic chairmanShlp, may make some effort to either regain the national job or place therein an ap: pointee to his own personal liking. All of which is understandable for since his recent victory in New York State, where, he succeeded in having Attorney General John Bennett nominated for governor, MT. Farley has been definitely linked with the party movement that aims to control the 1944 national convention. Such control will be designed either to circumvent a fourth term swing TOT Roosevelt or what is more logical designa- tion of his successor by President Roose-- welt. The retirement of Ed Flynn and recapture of the office by MT. Farley would be definitely the biggest gun in the latter's campaign for control of the national party, to which many believe he is rightfully entitled.

can to do business in the Argen- tine these days is indicated by a report which BraSSert has given the State Department regarding a conversation he had with the late Presednt Ortiz of Argentina. Bras Sert had made study for the Argentine Government, which wanted to establish a steel mill, but pro-American Ortiz told him it would be very difficult to have the mill constructed by an Ameri- can.
 unfortunately" said Ortiz, "the German and Italian ele- ments in my country are very strong and more recently they have been strengthened by the arrival of thousands of tourists who are actually agents and spies for their country. These agents go about among the Ger. mans and Italians in Argentina bearing two lists, a white list and a black list. They ask for in- formation about the location of public utilities-railr0ads, pow CT plants, oil fields, and for in- formation about public officials.
 "These agents declare that Germany is about to win the war and will come over here to run Argentina. Those who have obliged them with information are put on She white list and are promised great rewards for the future. Those who refuse information are entered on the black list with threat of dire consequences.
 Thus, you se how difficult it is for us to deal with Ameri- cans.".
 Until recently Brassert con- .eluded that the WIPE was even more difficult han pro-Axis Ar- gentina.

 Hobart Is president of the Troy, (N. Y.) Furnace Corporation, makers of blast furnaces and coke ovens, which Brassert's process would curtail.
 Testifying before a Congress sional hearing, Hobart said of Brassert's method: "Of all the processes I have ever seen, this is the best"
 Inside the WIPE, however, he has opposed adoption of the same process by the industry, as have several other WPBoyS.

 But the consistent prodding of the Boykin committee, plus the barrage Of letters secretary IckeS has fired at Donald Nelson, plus, newspaper publicity, finally pro- duced results.
 While BrasSert was testifyinS before the Boykin Committee this week, letter from Donald Nell son arrived stating that the WIPE had reversed itself, would now OK construction of a new Re- publci Steel plant in Ohio using the Brassert process. The ore is ito come from Port Henry, N. Y.
