COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct.
%. - Jack Kroll, chairman
of the CIO Political Action
Committee of Ohio today
asserted, that Ohio was safe
ly in the Democratic column for
Roosevelt, Truman and Lausche.
He said that while William A.
Pickrel, Democratic opponent Of
Robert A. Taft in the U. S. Sen
atorial contest, was beating Taft
in the contest for voter support,
Pickrel's election would not De
clinched until a fair count was
assured.
Kroll's statement was issued
following an all day conference
of congressional district chair
man and state PAC regional rep
resentatives from every county
in Ohio in the Fort Hayes Hotel,
where reports from every Sec
ton of the state were submitted
and analyzed.
Predict Largest Vote
The PAC field men reported
registration results in their re-
Spective territories and political
analysis of the eligible vote, on
the basis of which Kroll said
that registration in the state
would top that of 1910, and pre-
dicted the largest vote in the
history of the state.
The PAC meeting made two
decisions: first, an all out fight
for Pickrel to defeat Taft; and
second, to have watchers of the
count in every voting place
where the CIO and PAC SYM
pathizers were in sufficient
strength to get them.
"This is one election where
there are not going to be any
stolen votes or phcny tabula-
tions in Ohio" Kroll said. In
the recent primary there were
charges of fraud in the contest
for the governors nomination,
so l am inventing no libel on
the Schorr- Taft Stewart Cincin-
natl machine when l say that
the voters of Ohio must take
precautions.

Fred NJ. Vinson, with a three
part report. One part will
give the pros" and ICONS" on
changing the formula. The sec
ond will deal with 'inequities"
charged against the Boards

final section will deal with pro-
posed wage policies for the re-
conversion period after We
day.
Labor Bides Time
Laborites on the Board aren't
expecting too much comfort out
of the Boards report, but they
are biding their time, awaiting
its release, before renewing
their onslaught on the Little
Steel" freeze.
Some Administration lieute-
nants have given out hints that
Immediately after the election
there will be relaxation ir wage
regulations, and that substantial
concessions will be made to the
workers in the mass production
industry cases pending before
the Board, such as steel. Union
chiefs, however, aren't counting
on that-until they see what the
concessions look like.
Other Administration officials
are letting out word that there
won't be any change in the
Little Steel formula until after
victory in Europe The proposal
to delay action until that date
drew an attack from Secretary
Treasurer George Meany of the
AFL.
Unions Position
By that time, war contracts
will be cancelled right and left"
Meany said. 'Layoffs of nil
lions of workers will start.
Other millions will be reduced
to shorter working hours. One
would have to be gullible, in
deed, to believe that employers
at such time will raise wages
even if the Administration says
they should. In fact that's when
they'll Try to cut wages.
A promise to lift wage con-
trolls after We day is just a
gold-brick so far as the workers
are concerned. 1t won't mean
anything to them. If the Ad-
ministration wants to avert an
economic collapse after the de-
feat of Germany, if it wants the
workers to have adequate post
war buying power to sustain the
nations business, then wages
must be raised now, when such
increases can still be enforced.
Delay will be fatal.

Cooperation With Mexico

know about eradication: the fall
clean up of the infected stalks, the
sterilization of seeds before they
are shipped out or planted and other
measures. We, on the other hand,
have had the facilities of an office
in Monterey, Mexico, where we are
assisted in the study of the life and
habits of the pest at first hand and
improving our techniques in fighting
it.
Mexican Fruit Fly
Another large project is directed
against the life, liberty and evil pur-
suits of the Mexican fruit fly. That
insect, flourishing in western Mexi-
CO, has not disturbed us as yet but
preventive measures are being
worked out and the Mexicans have
learned to sterilize their own fruit
so that it can safely enter the United
States.
AS a result of the joint efforts and
studies, an obliging wasp has been
imported from Panama, which likes
nothing better Tin fact likes nothing
else at all) but these fruit flies for
breakfast, dinner and supper. The
wasp has been introduced into Mex
leo as "predator." The meaning Of
that title, you can figure out for
yourself.
Other projects might be men,
toned but this is not meant to be a
technical article, it is merely the
record of one kind of international
cooperation which has been made eff
fective with the admixture of lit
tie patience and some wisdom.
Great strides have been made in
agriculture in Mexico in recent
years and side by side with this
growing progress and increased eff
ficiency has developed a feeling of
mutual confidence on the part OF the
two nations which have shared their
experiences.
Minister Gomez is more than a
political appointee. He is trained
agriculturist. Under him are many
trained men, large number who
have attended American universe
ties, notably in California. Mexicos
department of agriculture employ
ees are far less subject to political
Whims than formerly.
Mexican agriculture is progress
ing and turning to the United States
for advice and counsel. A veritable
parade of Mexican agriculturists
passes through the office of P. M.
Amlee, of the Latin American divi-
sion of the bureau of foreign agri-
cultural relations. Most of them
speak English. If they can't, they
can still pool their experiences,
thanks to trained interpreters.
This arrangement is not a war
baby. 1t started before the war and
an effort is being made to empha-
size the common problems which ex-
lst in peace time so that the pro-
gram will rest on a more perma-
nent foundation. Of course, some of
the war time ventures are embraced
in the work of the United States
Mexican commisson-like the rub
Der growing projects, but the more
profitable, solid and permanent arts
of peace are the basis of the whole
cooperational program.

Thomas Jefferson Was Americas First Scientific Farmer

Jefferson's ideas with reference to
agriculture were far in advance of
his day, declared James E. Ward,
head of the division of social sci
ences at Clemson college in a talk
on Monticello: An Experimental
Farm" at the meeting of the COM
mittee at Monticello. He was among
the first to practice crop rotation.
He was a scientific farmer and in
arranging for his system of rotation
he divided his cultivated lands into
four farms Of 280 acres each, and

nate any land to be fallow, but
rather cultivated certain plants, es-
pecially legumes, because he &C.
cepted the idea that such plants
would absorb fertility from the at
mosphere and store it in the soil,
Another observation can be verified
by study of this rotation system.
The crops planted on the various
fields provided continuity of en-
ployment for both the labor force
and the work stock and thereby
avoided excessive peak demands.

where the Dalrymples were located
and have information about them.
The lumber camps of the same Pc
riod in Michigan and Wisconsin no
longer exist, yet we have volu-
minous records of particular COM
panies and a few tracts of virgin
timber are still standing. 1t would
still be possible to acquire wheat
land and timber, and to reestablish
and operate bonanza wheat farm
or an old-time lumber camp.
There are a number of we'll
known tobacco, cotton, rice and
sugar cane plantations in the south,
and cattle ranches, diaries and stock
farms in the Middle West and West
where original ownership of land
has passed and original agricultural
activities are now changed. Some Of
these could be acquired and reestab-
lished to operate as formerly.
In other instances the ownership
has changed, but the original land
holdings have been held together
and still produce agricultural crops,
though not always the same as be-
fore. Westover and Curles Neck
and Claremont on the lower James
are plantations of this type. Again,
there are a surprising number of
famous holdings which even today
are owned by the same families
which were in possession hundred
or more years ago. Shirley, the
Carter estate on James river; Folly,
the Cochran plantation in Augusta
county; Walnut Grove, the McCor-
mick farm in Rockbridge county;
and Berry Hill, the Bruce planta-
ton near Halifax, all of which are
located in Virginia, meet this pat
tern. The same is true of the Middle
ton estate on the Cooper river, and
Hampton Hall, the Rutledge planta-
ton on the Santee river, both in
South Carolina. In Louisiana, Rose
down, the Bowman family estate
and the Cottage, longtime resi-
dence of the Buffers, should be
added. The list could be con-
siderably enlarged. In other cases
such as Mount Vernon, Washing
tons estate, Stratford, the Lee plan
tation, Monticello, the residence of
Jefferson, and the Hermitage, home
of Andrew jackson, memorial asso-
Citations operate these places as mu-
seums, with major attention given
to the main dwellings. The ma
tional park service operates Wake
field, the Washington house, and Ar
lington, the Lee residence, as well
as other wellknown places.
In keeping with the establish
ment of branch agricultural mu-
seums in various parts of the United
States it would be appropriate to set
up Jefferson Agricultural Memo
rial association which might oper-
ate in connection with the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial foundation at
Monticello, Shadwell, Poplar Forest
or other places directly associated
with Jefferson. On one or more of
these original Jefferson plantations
two types of activities might be on
display. One would be to carry out
and reproduce the agricultural
experiments recorded by jefferson
in his Garden Book and his Farm
Book, including his development and
trial of the moldboard pillow. A Sec
ond would be to relate these early
enterprises to the latest and most
advanced agricultural experiments
of the present day. Set up side by
side on the same plantation they
would provide striking contrast be-
tween the early time and today and
would indicate the evolution of
agriculture in the United States,

try and engineering also merit
adequate attention.
The National Agricultural mu-
scum should serve as the headquar-
tiers of important national farm or
CARNATIONS and provide appropriate
quarters for this purpose. This
would add prestige to the institution
and increase the opportunity for
service.
An essential feature of the mu-
scum would be to establish close
relations with educational institu-
tons and organizations. On its part
the museum should offer general
and special courses in the form of
lectures, seminars and laboratory
research pertaining to various
phases of the history of agricul-
ture and of technology in this and
other countries. These courses
should be open to the public, and
qualified students should be per-
mitted to take them for educational
credits. In addition, the museum
should provide internships for indi-
viduals desiring to specialize in the
history of agriculture and tech
nology or to learn agricultural
museum technique. In reciprocity,
educational agencies should invite
members of the museum staff to
lecture and to give courses to the
students of the institutions and to
arrange for regular visits of STU
dents to the museum for the pur-
pose of information and instruc-
ton. In all the activities of the
museum its facilities should be de-
veloped to promote better under
standing of democracy, as illus
trated in our agricultural develop
ment. These and like activities fully
carried out would undoubtedly justi-
fly the designation of the National
Agricultural museum as a Living
Agricultural museum.
Establish Branch Museums.
In addition to National Agricul-
tural museum located in Wash
ington, there should be associated
with it branch museums situated in
different parts of the United States.
These would be of such character
as to merit the designation, Living
Agricultural museums, to an even
greater degree than the national in
stitution.
These branch museums should
take advantage of the existence
in numerous places in this country
of notable sites of representative
agricultural activities which -four
ished in former day and for a
considerable period. Where pos
sible such activities should be re-
created at the original locations.
Among those which come to mind
are the production of wheat, corn,
tobacco, cotton, rice, sugar cane,
indigo, hemp, fax,. vegetables,
fruits, flowers, cattle and livestock,
dairying, stock farming, maple sug-
ar, turpentine and numbering. AS
far as practical in each instance op-
erations should be shown for sew
eral periods such as the colonial,
post-revolutionary, ante-bellum, Civ
il war, reconstruction and early Goth
century. Likewise, wherever earlier
periods are shown, some attention
should be given to present day
operations to show contrast and evo-
luton. Collections of physical OBJ
jects, such as implements and
machines, should also be assembled
where pertinent to the particular
activity.

Neu Projects

That started something which was
continued by long correspondence
between the two countries furthered
by American Ambassador to Mexico
Messerschmidt and Secretary Wick
ard. Plans were laid for merging
various projects on which there had
already been some cooperation and
others which were in the making.
AS an illustration, let me mention
two projects which are supported by
both governments. Carrying out
these projects by the department of
agriculture has required no extra ap-
preparations from congress. 1t is
merely an extension of already ap-
proved programs for getting (gratis)
assistance from the Mexicans. In
doing it, there has been a bilateral
exchange of information, facilities
and personnel.
Take the largest project which has
to do with the pink boil worm.
This story starts in Egypt where
the wicked foe of the cotton plant
may have been flourishing since the
days of the Pharaohs, for all know.
Anyhow, the worm turned up in Mex
leo in about 1911, having sneaked
across the Atlantic from the banks of
the Nile in infected seed cotton.
By 1916, the boll-worm family had
grown and some of the more am
bilious members decided to migrate
again. They took wing and flew
across the Rio Grande into the Unit
ed States. Measures were taken
against the pest and it never got out
of control in the main cotton area.
But in the Laguna area in Mexico,
it has a firm hold and southern
Texas is threatened. Naturally, the
United States wants to keep all pests
out of the United States and the best
thing to do about it is what the Mex
leans want most to do-destroy them
at the source.
So, American experts from the de-
partment of agriculture have taught
their Mexican colleagues what we

In a few weeks now, international
cooperation will probably be the
subject of heated political debate.
The opponents of this benevolent
concept will, having exhausted other
arguments against it, probably end
up with the usual statement that
cooperation between nations might
be all right in theory but it won't
work."
While this controversy is going on
up and down the land, number of
scientific gentlemen, who won't lose
their jobs if the administration
changes here in Washington, and who
poster themselves not so much about
votes as about pests, will be calmly
reading the reports of an interna-
tional organization which has al
ready proved that it does work.
The Inter-American Conference on
Agriculture meeting in Mexico City
will have concluded its second ses-
sion by that time. 1t is making a
lot of progress but preceding it was
another meeting: the United States
Mexican commission, reports of
whose session have not yet been
made to the department of agricul-
ture but interested officials know
that when they are made, they will
record definite, practical progress.
They know this because they know
that this commission has already
furthered cooperative projects which
have resulted in the saving of many
dollars to both the United States
and Mexico, to say nothing of pro-
noting good will in each country
through mutual assistance. The
commission has furnished con-
crete examples of international CO.
operation which prove that it is both
possible and practical.
Today, more cotton blossoms are
unfolding under the Texas sun, more
American fruit has the assurance
of ripening and fewer cows will per-
ish of tick fever because of Mexican
American cooperation-to mention a
few of the many positive achieve
ments attained when wise men sit
down together to work toward their
common good.
The story of this particular effort
really begins back in July of 1912 at
the first meeting of the Inter-Ameri-
can Conference on Agriculture. At
that meeting, energetic Senior Marie
Gomez, Mexican minister of agri-
culture, took Secretary Wickard by
the lapel, and said, in effect:

ricultural interests in common. But
