Army Clarifies Policies q
Regarding Farm Labor y
Military Units May Be Employed on Crops Dur
Ing Emergency Situations; Individual
FurIoughs Not Contemplated.
BY BAUKHAGE
Nesus analyst and Commentator.

One farmer wrote me he'd rather
have grasshoppers than city folks on
his place.
EngiGnds Method
The President said to us that in
England they have increased food
production go per cent. And they
did it with the help of land army,
mostly women with no previous
training. They got the training. A
lot depends on the training.
I talked with a farmer near here
who took on city boy, green as
grass. The boy probably thought
shorts were something you wore
and probably would have looked in
the toolbox for a boar.
Maybe you heard him talk on the
Farm and Home Hour. Well, met
him and the farmer, too. The kid
is crazy to get back this summer
and the farmer told me he was
sick when he had to let him 60 back
to school. City folks are dumb in a
lot Of ways. But so are farmers.
It's true you can lead horse to
water but you can't make him drink.
Also, lot of horses have got the
sense to drink if you've got sense to
lead them to the water.
In spite of dumb help or none at
all, in spite of lack of machines
and q lot Of red tape, the farmers
of the country have signed up to
raise bigger crop than they've ever
raised. I believe with little horse
sense and patience, they are going
to pull through.
No team pulled together until they
were in harness.
If they don't, God help US and the
army at meal time.

And He Did

At an eastern camp q chaplain
saw a new soldier, in civilian
clothes, about to leave camp. He
had been discharged, he said, and
was going home. Then he unfolded
the story:
After IL days in the army, the SOL
der told his sergeant he didn't like
it thought he'd go home. The
sergeant, busy at something, looked
up. "Scram, buddy" he said brief
ly. "And," the soldier told the chap
lain, where I come from 'scram'
means go home.'" ...5s !.

The Weather
A Dead Topic

, AS you know, mention OF the
weather on the radio these days is
forbidden. The newspapers can de-
scribe snow storm or hot spell
but the radio commentators cannot.
There is good reason for this.
A lurking submarine could pick up
newscast, and if enough facts con-
corning the weather were revealed
by stations in enough widely sep
arated localities, even an amateur
meteorologist-and the Germans are
no amateurs-could make pretty
good weather forecast by putting two
and two together.
But being unable to describe the
manifestations of nature that I see
on my way to work in the morning
is terrible handicap to me. Re
Gently I've gotten around the diff
Guilty by talking about last weeks
weather, and before going on the
air, reading what / was going to
say to the censorship officials and
getting their o. K. In no case did
they restrict me. The other day,
however, I forgot to call up the Gen.
sorship office but the Blue Network
didn't forget. I got this message:
Censorship says you have to cut
out all references to weather from
now on. They say that there was
nothing actually censorable in what
you have said or what you have
written today but so many COM
plants have come in from other
stations that you were violating
the regulations, and so many other
stations have been using your COM
ments on the weather as an excuse
for violating the rule, that we will
have to ask you to stop discussing
the subject entirely"
The following is what censorship
didn't let me say but what it has no
objection to my printing:
ut was pretty hard the past week
not to mention the swiftly changing
scene which nature provided Wash
ingtonians-one day, not so long ago
a top coat was far too heavy for
comfort and in the park, the dark
patches were beginning to be studded
with jeweled buds and the sunlight
seemed to turn into solid gold on the
bursting forsythia. On that balmy
day remarked-'Well, we must be
due for a blizzard
"Twenty-four hours later the fine
snow began to fall and late that aft
ernoon and the following morning,
the tree limbs and trunks were
wrapped in great soft blankets of
down--even the high branches were
wide bands of white-but when we
went home from work in the eve
ming, the streets were dry and clean
again and only here and there in
the shadow of a hedge or in the
sheltering cups of the brown ivy
leaves was dust of snow-like
a meager sprinkling of precious
sugar on the rim of a doughnut.
