Labor-Saving Devices
Needed 10 Increase
Peanut Output

PENSACOLA, Fla, June 11.-Pro-
duction of the largest peanut crop
on record this year will necessitate
use of every available labor saving
device, DR.. H. P. Stuckey, director of
the Georgia Experiment Station,
said today.
DR.. Stuckey, addressing the Ma
tional Peanut Council, said use of
labor saving devices should be con-
sistent with quality to save the crop.
Plans for a national advertising
campaign to be launched at an early
date we're announced by w. B. Jester
of Atlanta. executive secretary OF the
council.
Although accurate figures on 1912
paintings are not yet available, DR..
Stuckey said the crop would ap-
proach four to four and one-half
million acres.
The fiscal year 1941-42 has wit
messed the largest edible consump-
ton of peanuts and peanut products
in the history of the industry, Jester
said. The war was held to be a
major contributing factor.
Our problems will increase with
the increase of peanut production, "
Jester told the council. While the
war lasts, part of the increased
production will go into oil. War
offers it's own problems. but when
the war is overland it probably will
be before the end of 1942-we will
have a tremendous surplus Of pea
nuts. - Our job right now is to
keep peanuts and peanut products
before the public"
A national advertising program
will be launched at the earliest
possible moment and the councils
research work will be continued, the
secretary said.

 Now Vandermeer, too, is over the hump at three and two; Walters has won two games in five days; Thompson has recorded the best ef- fort of his career and Starr, a minor leagueer most of last season, has strung together three triumphs in as many tries. Moreover, the relief corps has caught up on its sleep and is fresh for the eastern swing.
 Vandermeer goes against Brook Iyn today and If he comes up a winner again the Reds will be firm ly anchored to their spot ia the top half of the bracket.

WhyNot Baseball Fines to WarFmds?

 Some of these scribblers should have been around when the noble athletes sl1arpened their spikes on the bench between rounds. Them was the days.
 Leo Duracher was assessed $50 and the usually docile Fred Fit2- simmons and Dolph Camiln and young Chet Kehn $25 apiece while the Dodgers were dropping that double-header in St. Louis.
 Well, let's see now, that's @ total of $225 in three days, and the thought occurs: "Why not turn over baseball fines to war funds?"
 Then Ford Christopher Prick could rescind his ridiculous rule intending to restrain National League managers from leaving the bench to protest ball and strike decisions.

ASo1eNSeA
 New York, May 13. - (UP) - Deacon will McKechnie, the spare Scot who ranks as one of baseball'S charter wizards and pioneer master minds, andulged himself today in the luxury of one of his rare but beatific smiles. After funbling about longer than a glamor boy reaching for check, the Cincin- natl Reds finally have hauled them selves over the hump.
 The ultimate destination of the Reds in the le42 pennant race is not immediately apparent but on this second Wednesday of May the boys from beautiful Ohio have shaken free of the second division. Primed by eight triunnphs in 10 games. the Reds have taken sole possession of bracket No. 4 and show every indication of continuing the climb.
 Deacon will probably would be reluctant to admit it. but the fact behind the Reds resurrection is a simple one. Cincinnati's slow but steady comeback is attributable neither to strategy nor to science. It is the product of the ability of certain young ard not so young men to throw ball fast and to throw 1t with a modest measure of decep- ton.
 Pitchers Make" Reds
 Tine phrase isn't exactly a new one and I take no credit for it's coin- age, but let's just say that as goes the pitching, so goes Cincinnati. As long as Deacon Wills hardy group of throwers retain their skill at cutting corners the Reds win. But when the pitchers begin faltering. even ever so slightly, all is gloom in the beer tayerns of the home land. For instance, the Reds played eight games this season before a starting pitcher managed to win. The gentleman fn question was Johnny VandeTmeer and the date was April 23. This feat proved a singular one. Overcome by the rar- lty of such e demonstration, the Reds were unable to match 1t until May !. Thus, only one starting pitcher was able to win in ib straight contests,
 At the l6-game mark in the race, the Reds were helpless and hopeless, They had won but five while losing 10, And, contrary to tradition, they weren't blowing the duke by one run, They were being beaten by two runs Of five runs or four runs, Then, suddenly, the pitchers began finding their mark. Starting on May !, Gin. clnnati's defense suddenly frightened.
 At TheiF Peak
 Tn the 10 games played since that date eight pitchers have opened a game, finished that game and won it, The performances reached peak On Sunday and ysterday when Ray Starr blanked St. Louis, To; BuelEy Walters shut out the same team oIl fha second half 0f a double bill, so allowing only four hits; and JunloF Thompson let down Brooklyn With one hit, bsi.
 The reason the Deacon broke out with hls smile today was that the three sDaFkllng trlumphs were ats tained agalnst the leagues two sups nosedly strongest teanas-the CeFd- Inals and the Dodgers. tf Mckeeh- Flle's boys can blow over these pow- ar.laden babies. they don't figure 70 have too much difficulty with the Boston. the Phlladelphias and the Chieag0es,
 Unkil today the Deacon couldn't have smiled even # Dorothy Lamour had manned the laughing gas tank whlIe Hedv Lamar tickled his feet and Bob Hope gave off with few original jokes. The Deacon was .
