deal with them - he could trade
where he got the most value and
the best treatment. They also
knew that crop failure was an
even greater reflection on them
selves than on the farmer.
Now, with governmental con-
troll, what happens to the farmer
seems to be a matter of small i'm
port He is supplied his seed, must
pay cash for it, and keep his fool
mouth shut if it proves worthless.
The same goes for fertilizer. II is
none of his business what the
analysis is. He must take il and
like it.
Over the years the Legislators
of Florida have made IA conscien-
tious effort 70 protect the farmer
by requiring that seeds and fer
tilizer sold in this state meet GER
tain standards. Commissioner OF
Agriculture Nathan Mayo is
charged with the duty of making
necessary tests and inspections 70
see that such materials are as rep
resented.
But now the Federal govern
ment contends that what il sells
the Florida farmer is It's own bust
ness and the State of Florida has
no right to go poking its nose in.
Maybe that's the way the bulk OF
the farmers want it, maybe they
like being nurSed and cared for
and slapped around, but it's con-
trary to all the principles we are
supposed to be fighting for, and
maybe that's why our farmers
everywhere are getting together
and forming Farm Bureaus with
the view of having something to
say about it, as a unified group. in
the future. -

said.
Thousands of persons are in
jured or killed on highways
where there are no sidewalks
because they fail to walk on the
left side facing traffic" Mr.. Fin
ley declared Such persons do
not realize that it is difficult for
the driver to see them, especial
ly during hours of dusk and
darkness when the majority of
such accidents occur. A pedes-
trian accident in rural area is
five times more likely to be fa-
tai as in a city, the American
Automobile Association found IN
national survey of pedestrian
mishaps. Few persons realize,
too, the difference IN hazard as
between walking with traffic
and against traffic. Data from
Connecticut study show that
four times as many pedestrians
walking in the roadway are kill
ed while walking with traffic
as while walking against traffic.

added, "is one of the unique

There is an old gag, afs0It. the
government enumeratDr, who MAS
taking a census of farm lKSstockA
He had counted the horses, pigs,
and cows, and was getting along
all right until he encountered an
animal in the field that he couldn't
identify.
Rushing to telephone, he got
the Department of Agriculture on
ne wire and appealed for help.
He explained that he had listed all
the animals but one, funny look
ing critter that was old and dirty,
with long beard and a sad face.
How should he list it.
Unperturbed, the Washington
official replied: Don't worry,
what you saw was undoubtedly
the Farmer, and you don't have
to take him into consideration.
During the past few years the
Federal government, through the
creation of various agricultural
boards, bureaus, commissions,
committees, administrations and
authorities, has reduced the mis-
termed independent" farmer to
a puDpet on his own plantation
Desk men, city slickers, smart
young lawyers and bureaucratic
lounge lizards now do all his
planning and thinking for him. Of
course he is still supposed to do
all the dirt" work and produce
more and better crops, but the de-
tails are all taken care of by mas
ter minds.
They lend him money for his
operations; tell him what to plant
and where; furnish him seeds and
fertilizer and control his every
move. Now if this amazing SER
vice was of a sane and practical
nature and worked in practice like
it does on paper, everything
would be swell. But the pitiful
part of it is. it just don't.

government even controls the
manure spreaders, I'm told.
!. Now if the farmer needs a felt
for his cream separator, instead Of
calling a dealer and having it de-
livered, he must contact the near
est government wet-nurse, fill out
a lengthy application blank and
fool around a month or so while
some guy up in Washington de-
cides whether or not he really
needs a belt.
Florida farmers have been
asked to grow more peanuts. In
order to do so, they must make
application, get a permit and be
properly signed up. If they want
seed, and most of them seem to
have the crazy idea that they do,
the government will take care OF
that, too. All the farmer has to do
is sign an agreement, agreeing to
pay cash for the seed and at the
s,iae Tune waiver all protection
under the Florida seed law if they
fail to terminate. In short, the
farmer holds the well-known
bag" He isaguaranteed nothing

If Clothes Rationing Comes
A Girls Best Friend Will Be Her Accessories
BY DOROTHY ROE
APP Fashion Editor

@. If Uncle Sam tells you one
of these fine days that you may
buy only one dress a year, what
are ou going to do about it?
A. You're going to make the
best of it-and the best will be
pretty good, with the aid of some
of our bright young accessory
designers, who can turn a little
fast switching of hats, dickeys
and gloves.
Two of the leading lights in
this movement to better the
state of underprivileged dresses
are Merry Hull, who whips up
gloves and matching dickeys out
of anything from Bingham to
sequins, and Helene CARMEL.
who employs the same tactics
with hats.
These two benevolent young
women recently teamed up with
a fashion show at the Ritz to
demonstrate what girl can
really do to expand the horizon
of a simple costume, if she sets
her mind to it.
They started out with a few
odd bits of striped bed ticking,
lowered dimity, plaid Bingham
and white pique. They finished
with a collection of matching hats
and gloves that had the effete
luncheon crowd at the Ritz
pounding the tables and calling
for more.
Says Miss, Hull, who is deco
'rative blonde and the inventor of
the finger-free, glove: '3is' . |
Give a girl enough gay die
keys and gloves-and, of course,
hats-and she can be we'll
dressed with one basic dress.
Says Miss CARMEL. who is a
decorative red-head and a mil
liner who arrived in New York
via Paris and Hollywood:
"Give a girl enough inspired
hats-and, of course, dickeys
and gloves-and she doesn't
need more than one dress"

ALASKA: U. S. WAR Frontier

ALASKA, sitting high on the globe, is a place of
great potential military importance. Whether it is
best fitted for offense or defense is a secret closely
kept by U. S. military leaders. But probably no man
can completely foresee the vast potentialities of Alas
ka as a defense bastion of the future. One glance at
the distance lines radiating from Fairbanks, however,
will give even the novice an idea of Alaska's place in
the world of the future. AS the range of bombers
increases-and this occurs at an amazing pace-more
and more of the world is drawn into the Alaska
orbit. Military experts have stated that the day is
in sight when three-ffths of the worlds land area
and most of its metropolitan centers will be within
bomber range of this great potential military outpost.
Alaska has served America well-it may some day
save it.
The Territory is at the top of tho world where
distances seem strangely drawn in on the map. This
map shows most of the northern hemisphere, looking
down upon the world from a point directly above the
North pole. While this projection will appear strange
to most people it is a comparatively good picture of
the northern world and with relatively little distor-
