its policies were reflected by the
Farm Security administration, a ri
val Of the more conservative Farm
Credit administration which minis
tered to the financial ills of the big
ger farmers. The friction has never
ceased.
A blow-up came when Wickard
started his food administration. AS
an old farm bureau man, he always
leaned over backward in an effort
not to be prejudiced against Farm
Security. Also, as cabinet men,
Der, he couldn't stray too far from
White House prea chments. So he
named Parisius, a Farm Security
man, to head up his food conserva-
ton machinery and Immediately a
nest of hornets was loose. There
was no choice. It was a question
of making a left turn against traf-
fic. Parisius had to go.
Wickard was accused of turning
right by one group but that didn't
save him from the wrath Of those
opposed to the administration. Nor
did his incentive payment policy
which would not help the Demo
crat cotton raisers in the South nor
the Republican wheat raisers in the
north since what we don't need to
feed America today is more wheat
or more cotton.

gardening experience. Back on
Spruce street, of course, there was
a whole orchard and the garden was
so big, it was ploughed. But big or
little, the backyard could produce
plenty for mother to put up" Eve
never called it "canning'D, every
thing from tomatoes and corn and
those cucumbers-'what memories
the name conjures up'-to those
wonderful watermelon pickles.
I was talking with another old
timer, and he isn't so old either,
about his little Kansas town. He
said he couldn't remember anybody
who didn't have a garden; or had
milk delivered to the doorstep Ell
Their.
When the onions and the radishes
stuck their sprouts up, I used to
watch them with an eagle eye hoping
would be able to deliver luscious
bunch of them before the corner
grocer had his somewhat wilted
product to display. Of course, I
never could beat him by much and
by the time the fat tomatoes were
asking for a piece Of lath to keep
their chins out of the dirt, all the
neighbors had them too. But that
didn't matter. Came the day when
the kitchen was redolent with en-
trancing odors and the womenfolk's
aprons were stained red as VIC
torious banner, and when evening
fell, the mason jars were cooling in
the pantry before they were stored
in the cool cellar.
In those days, about the only time
q can opener was used was when
somebody preached Sunday eve
ming can of sardines as special
treat to go along with the fudge
(made in a chatting dish if you were
a little doggy and favored with
songs around the piano to mandolin
obligato.
And what about the dry threats?
No ice cubes. No cocktail shakers.
Perhaps a bottle of raspberry shrub
from the top shelf from the pre-
serves closet-a rich purple liquid
which had been squeezed through
cheese cloth bag with strong and
loving hands, the fat berries inside
plucked from those sprawling bushes
along the back fence.
What good things came out Of
the backyard garden by way of the
fruit jars and the jelly glasses! Can
you forget the ounces, smooth and
shiny and hard that hung on the
gnarled tree, harsh fruit that mys-
teriously turned into a delightful
pink delicacy, which spread over
crisp cracker like a benediction.
The German people, who are get
ting about an ounce Of fats day on
their present ration cards, began to
get less butter and more margarine
during the present ration period
which began March 8, according to
D.N.B. dispatch transmitted from
Berlin.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, ID. G..

You will read in your favor1te
newspaper that congress is out to
"get" Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard. The reason being offered
is: There's going to be food
shortage and he's responsible. That
isn't the half Of it.
In the first place, the folks who
have been leaning back with their
feet on the Washington cracker-bar-
rel and watching administrations,
wars and panics come and 60, aren't
taking these fiery debates, these
charges and counter charges too Sc
riously.
The fight in congress today on the
surface is the farm bureau, the big
farmer (who isn't so big in many
cases) versus Wickard. One layer
below the surface, you'll hear it
called the fight Of the extension
services against the Farm Security
administration. Back in the crack
er-barrel corner it's just the fight
against the administration and
what's left of the New Deal.
Criticism Political
One of these old timers shifted
his stogie, took down his feet and
said to me: "This is just politics.
The idea is that 1914 is coming up
and if you are an honest out you've
got to do all you can to discredit the
'ins' I think Wickard will weather
the storm. The Farm bureau peo-
pie have nothing against him except
as a symbol of the administration.
He's an old farm bureau man him.
self"
But" 7 interjected, what about
the war effort, what about hiking
up the farm prices and smashing
the price ceilings? You can't give
the farmers higher prices without
having to boost wages"
My friend caressed his stogie and
smiled. Don't worry" he said,
nobody is going to do anything in
the long run that will interfere with
war plans. But in a political fight,
everybody leans as far out of the
tree as he can without falling. Ev-
erybody says the other fellow is
playing politics - but everybody
plays the game just the same"
What is this extension service"
versus Farm Security fight? Well,
it goes back long way.
In the old days, the extension
service, the idea of the county
agents" was started by commercial
organizations which wanted to i'm
prove farm prosperity SO they could
sell more city goods. Later, the
system was financed by the states
with the help of federal grants. But
the states dominated. Then the
American Farm Bureau federation
was formed, officially in 1920.
The organization pushed certain
ideas for attacking SURPRISES not
very different from what the AAA
developed later. AS the farm prob
lem grew worse, farm conference
was called in Washington in 1882.
This group prepared bill contain
ing many features similar to those
finally incorporated into the Agri-
cultural Adjustment act.
Then came the first friction be-
tween the farm bureau and the adj
ninistration. There was good deal
of politics in that, too. It was
struggle between the AAA repre-
sentatives in the field and the state
set-ups.
