The people of California know more

FARMERS DIFFERENT

(John G. Miller in Colusa Sun Herald)
You can make a soldier out of farm
er in few weeks and darned good sol
der too. But it takes years of diligent
application to the subject OF agriculture
TO make a good farmer out of any man.
Any army officer can pick green clerk
out of a grocery store, lad out of the
school room, or a mechanic out OF
garage. and in a short period of intensive
training fill him full of the technique of
destruction But not so with farmers.
They produce The best farmers grow
up on the farm.
There is more to d cow than sitting on
q three-legged stool and milking her. 1t
takes a lot of skill to bring a pig to
hog. a lamb to sheep, wObbly-legged
calf to juicy SirlOin or pot roast. Pro-
ducing a crop of corn, a hill of spuds, or
ton of fruit is constant battle with
bugs, worms and weeds, drOuth, floods
and hundred other hazards that makes
the farmer alert, and his business an all
year gamble.
The difference we emphasize here in
the training of a soldier and the train
ing of a farmer is graphically demon
strated by the record In a little more
than a year our government has devel-
oped an effective fighting force of sew
eraI million men. But during the period
in which we have developed this great
fighting force we have suffered heavy
losses on the farm. This is tragic, be-
cause we all agree. brass-hats, bureau
Gratis, and swivel chair StrategistS, that
food will win the war Also food will
win the peace. This is most emphatic
Endorsement of the farmer. 1t places
him in the same category with the soldier.
Except, Except that we can produce
the soldier in a few months but it takes
years of hard work, long hours and love
of the job to develop good farmer.

THE PRIDE OF
EARNING A LIVING

There has been a change in peoples
bearing which probably has almost uni
versally gone unnoticed Nowadays, no
matter where one goes, the people have
a universal self-confidence, a self-pride
which reminds one of the old days before
the 1929-32 era.
1t apparently eminates from the fact
that everyone is really at work on a just
ifiabe job. There is no more trumped
up work, no more WPA, no more govern
ment handouts so often undeServed.
Those who formerly were on the receiv-
ing end of either outright or poorly
camouflaged charity, now are earning
their wages-Or a good portion of them
on bona fide job
Easy-come-an money may be all
right as relief for a short time, but it
can't compare with the value of earning
more money at a really worthwhile and
needed task. And the former reliefers
know it. Many never wanted the lean
on-the-shovel jobs at first. But as the
years went along they became satisfied.
War has put back into their consciences
the value of giving a dollars worth of
service in return for each dollar received,
and this value should cause them to fight
hard before reVertlng to the old hand
out acknowledgement habit.
The higher income that stems from
private enterprise jobs plus the self-pride
value may act as a real deterrent to the
return of the old WPA fiasco.

The pitching problem, which has
plagued Tech all season despite its
record Of only one defeat in nine
games, finally may be solved with
Ned Barnett providing the relief in
surance for Milo Quail who has been
doing most Of the Maroon hurting.
Proof Of Barnett's ability, given
with seven-hit performance

a good time because the Maroons

is only half a game behind the

Hanbury Is Confident
He Will Meet Test in

Just how far Washington's Lew
Hanbury, lightweight boxer hardly
more than a year out of the
amateurs, is destined to go in the
professional game may be indicated
when he tangles in the 10-round
feature bout Friday night at Uline
Arena against NBA Featherweight
Champion Jackie Callura.
Hanbury was at the ringside last
night when another local boy, Danny
Petro, missed in bid for national
recognition, and he was not i'm
pressed. I'm sincere in saying that
Callura will have to pack lot more
punch than Wilson did to slow
me up.
Il really hope that Callura keeps
his promise of meeting me half way"
he added confldentally, you can
say I'm inviting him to come out

hopes of going to the top profess

Negro who upset him last Wednes-
day. This will be the eight-round

With his face swollen, puffed and
bruised, as though he'd stuck his
head in a barrel of hornets and then
slammed it up against a concrete
wall to complete the punishment,
Danny Petro, Washington's little
southpaw better, still is long way
from a good rating among the 1876
Founders to which he aspired when
taking on the former champion,
Jackie Wilson of Pittsburgh.
1t was case of the local boy being
pushed too fast as he went against
the wise, clever Pittsburgher in the
feature bout at Griffith Stadium last
night. Petro, previously winner Of
13 of his IA pro fights by knockouts,
found he didn't have the ring savvy
to stand up against the willy Wilson.
Wilson gave the southpaw walloper
general beating all through the
fight, and completed the punishment
by scoring a technical knockout in
1:12 of the 10th and final round.
Wilson on Top After First.
After an even first round, Danny
caught Wilson on the ropes in the
second and pounded him about the
face with that touted left that
previously had stopped Danny's
other opponents. But Wilson hung
on long enough to clear the cobwebs
away, and at the end Of the round he
had taken all Petro could throw and
was fighting back with a stinging
right that eventually was to put the
local boy away.
1t was Wilson'S stiff right that had
the advantage thereafter. He kept
jabbing it into Petro's face, bringing
blood to Petro's nose from the first
round on and keeping Danny of
balance. The inexperienced local
fighter was dazed and didn't know
how to keep away.
