The number OF Michigan men IN
the armed forces is a militray
secret, but the total is well over
100,0 BY September and No
vember the total will be much
greater.
Both parties plan drives to reach
this huge pool of votes.
While National Committeeman
Frank d. Mckay was busy at the
liquor trial In Detroit, one of his
Lee II. Bierce. got an
idea and Matched a political plot
without consulting the old master.
When Mckay discovered it last
week he burned Bierce with
branding irons.
Bierce's misstep was letter TO
Republicans urging a slate OF
candidates to run with Harry
Kelly after Kelly is nominated for
governor in September. He sug-
gested a Grand Rapids pal. Will
lard Mcintyre. for attorney gen.
eral; Philip II. Bennett of Jackson,
for state treasurer. and Gus T
Hartman, now deputy secretary of
state, as Kelly's successor in that
office.
Mckay became involved because
Bierce signed the letter as presi-
dent OF the Old Abe Club, which
is McKay's personal property in
Grand Rapids Republican circles.
The n a tional committeeman
knows land so does Bierce) that
Atty. Gen. Herbert J. Rushton will
be renominated. and that Kelly
will pick the men he wants for
the nominations for the other two
offices.
Leading candidate for SECRETARY
OF state land probably the nomi-
nee) is State Senator Herman j.
Dingnan Of Owosso.
Bierce's secret plan was to Gre
ate a nuisance value, hoping to
compromise with good state Jobs
for himself, for Mcintyre and for
Bennett.
But Mckay squelched the plot
with venom.

Expert Tells How 10
Help Lawn and Kill
Cutworms Easily

EAST LANSING, April pa
few tips on how to make victory
gardening more efficient were of
fered today by c. B. Dibble. Michi-
gan State College extension spe-
cialist in insect control.
One of Dibble's suggestions en-
ables the gardener to take care
of two problems at one time. 1t
includes the simple trick of digging
up dandelions, chopping them up
in a chopping bowl, adding Paris
green and strewing the bait out TO
catch cutworms.
The extra dividend OF this pro-
cedure is obvious. Not only can
the victory gardener practice in
sect control, but he improves his
lawn by digging out the dandelions.

~sr In this latter group are included many
types of activity ranging from factory work
to farming, numbering and mining

purpose of enabling such people to replace

Half Bushel Enough

Dibble reports it takes about q
half bushel of dandelion greens TO
make bait for a large size city lot
garden of about an eighth acre.
The greens are chopped and then
three to four ounces Of Paris green
is mixed thoroughly with the
.choppings.
The bait should stand through
the day and then be spread over
the garden area in the evening
Batting is to be timed about when
the first garden seedlings are
coming UP. but before early cab
bage is set out.
Other suggestions for the VIC
tory garden include fertilizing and
discing before a garden is plowed
if the area happens to be sod. The
blowing should have been done last
fall but many new garden areas
still are in the planning.

SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE

DR.. H. H. Bennett, chief of the
Federal Soil Conservation Service,
said that scars of the great expan-
sion on crop land during the first
World War are still with us.
1--WE want to avoid the mistakes
we made at that time when millions
of acres were plowed that should
not have been plowed," DR.. Ben
nett added.
He addressed 80 Maryland district
conservation supervisors and soil
specialists at meeting Saturday at
the University of Maryland.
"In order to win the war, produce
ton must be increased to the great
est height yet reached" he said
THAT means that for the duration
Of the war the job of controlling
erosion is secondary to the job OF
producing the goods"
He dispelled any doubt that the
soil-conservation program would
continue full blast by saying that
the fundamental idea Of the program
is that the most efficient use of farm
resources is the best use in peace
or in war.

CHANCE FOR BOOM IN RUBBER

BY reviving what once was a
booming industry, Mexico may be
the key to the United States cur
rent rubber problem.
One kind of soft rubber, taken
from the guayule bush, is being pro-
duced at the rate of about seven
thousand tons year in Mexico. And
experiments are now under way to
determine whether 1t can be cul-
tivated artifically on bigger scale.
Another type of rubber is produced
from castill trees planted by Brit
ish and American companies from
194O-191O. They are capable of pro-
ducing eight to ten thousand tons
annually OF grade that compares
favorably with heavy rubber from
Malaga and Java. There are still
several million of the trees. al
though many of them were burned
during the revolutions and cut down
by farmers.
Experts are sure Mexico and Cen
trail America could, with the aid of
this country, produce moderate
quantities of rubber. And, with the
Japanese threatening to control 9S
per cent Of our supplies in Java
and Malaga, the United States
should take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to help expand the rubber re-
sources Of Mexico and Central
America. News Bureau

DECENTRALIZATION OF UNEM-
PLOYMENT INSURANCE
OPPOSED
OPPOSED

In an effort to forestall Federali-
cation of Unemployment Insurance
in Maryland and in the rest of the
country, Governor Herbert r. o.
Conor took leading part In dis
cussions among Governors of the
various states in Washington, Gull
minating in an appearance before
the Ways and Means Committee Of
the House Of Representatives.
The Governors of 10 of the
States Joined with Governor O'Con-
or in meetings with Compensation
Commissioners and other represent
atives of 81 States who are seeking
the defeat Of the measure, known
as H. r. $3.50.
Governor O'Conor and the other
Chief Executives appeared before
the Ways and Means Committee of
the House of representatives, to
testify against the provisions of the
measure.
The Governors and State Admin
istrators contended that 1t would be
a great mistake to Federalize I'm
employment Compensation, which
system has operated satisfactorily
under State Control. Furthermore,
Governor O'Conor and other State
Executives commended, large re-
serves have been built up in Mary
land and other States, which would
be impaired If the benefit allowances
are extended too far beyond the
limits set in the State laws creating
the System.
At the present time the State
Systems are established on an ac-
tuarial basis, which was not design
ed to permit payments as large as
would be possible under the terms
of the pending proposal. The Cover
nors point out that in any postwar
depression, heavy drains on the re-
serves might be made and II the
surplus is drastically reduced now,
the vested interests of workers now
covered by the Fund, would be i'm
paired.

FARMS SOLVE SUGAR PROBLEM

At time of sugar rationing
many low-income farm people who
are taking part in the rehabilita-
ton program of the Department of
Agriculture are producing most of
their own food including, wherever
possible, sorghum, maple syrup, or
honey.
Many Southern farmers use a
home syrup mill, powered by a mule,
to squeeze the juice from sorghum
stalks. They boil down the juice in
kettles and store it in jugs. This
homemade "sweetening", richer in
iron content than refined white
sugar, tastes good on the traditional
hot cakes and Southern biscuit. But
it is used also with homegrown,
whole-grain cereals, in canning, and
in making pies, cakes, cookies,
candy, jams and preserves.
Small cooperative mills, intended
for making syrup for home use,
have been established in many
Southern communities with the aid
of loans from the Farm Security Ad-
ministration. About rs acres of cane
or 100 acres of sorghum provide
juice for one mill of this type, shar-
ed by the group. The season lasts
two or three months, and a few
farmers, working together, provide
the labor.
In other regions, the chief home
produced sweetening used by farm
families is maple syrup, which con-
tains considerable calcium.
Bee keeping is practical for some
farm families. FSA loans have en-
abled a number of small farmers to
buy few hives to get started. Three
to five hives will keep family sup
piled with honey.
