increased the use that dosage costs
declined from so to 10 cents. This
station likewise introduced copper

When the New England coastal
hurricane damaged 10 to rs per cent

Control Fever Tick.
Colorado potato growers were
faced with an infestation of bacterial
ring in 1888. The station found a
remedy. Cattle fever tick had pre-
vented development of cattle rails

Make Seed terminate.
When Iowa farmers reported sweet
clover seed didn't terminate proper
ly, the state agricultural experiment
station discovered the cause was
hard seed and made a scarifier that
corrected the trouble. That was 80
years ago and was the forerunner
of many more modern devices and
methods, the most recent of which

Then there was that matter of
"Laryngot racheitis" down in New
Jersey. Sounds professorish, doesn't
it? But it has an earthly connotation
to any poultryman who has lost 20
to go per cent of his flock. The New
Jersey station found an incubation
that protects the birds from this
disease.
A shortage of spraying machinery
threatened the crop of certain Penn
sylvania potato growers in 1912. The
state college extension service met
that threat by organizing so spray
rings to serve $500 farms and pro-
tect 10000 acres. An average of 80
farmers used each machine. In
creased production was estimated
at 1,376,OOO bushels.
So the story goes. One of the
troubles that plaques farmers on the

the warm weather enabled nearly all
of the threatened corn and soybean
acreage to mature before frost. The
dry summer and fall also helped
most farmers to complete their 81
gantic harvesting job.
The 1913 harvest totaled about
347, 500, 900 acres, exceeding 1912 by

GRASSHOPPERS and locusts are
among the worst scourges in many
farming regions.
1888 the investigation in coopera-
ton with Texas which made control
of Texas fever tick possible. A
mysterious livestock disease, OBJ
served by Marco Polo in China more
than 800 years ago, which afflicted
army horses at Fort Randall, Neb.,
was explained only in 1881. The
trouble is caused by feed grown on
soil containing selenium. The South
Dakota station has announced con-
troll and remedies.
The list of achievements is almost
endless. Substitutes for pyrethrum
have been produced by the Della
ware station. Beginning in 1900 the
West Virginia station worked out the
f1y-free date for controlling Hessian
fly. Tennessee discovered and in
troduced cryolite to replace scarce
arsenicals as an insecticide. Mon
tana instituted the feeding of TO-
died salt during pregnancy to pre-
vent goiter losses of newborn pigs,
lambs, calves and colts. Nebraska
checked the potency of commercial
serums offered in control of swine
erysipelas, with resultant standard
ization of effective protection.
BY breeding a wilt-resistant cot
ton strain, the Alabama station
saved the cotton-growing industry
of the southern part of the state.
Purdue experiment station in Indi-
ana has produced a new Hessian-
fly resistant wheat. New York has
announced a new organic spray
which kills late fruit blooms, ma
terially reduces the hand labor of
thinning, and induces annual bear
ing in varieties which normally pro-
duce fruit every other year.
Develop Borer-Resistant Corn.
The Ohio station has demonstrate
ed that milk fever can be greatly
reduced by feeding four ounces of
irradiated yeast daily to COWS for
four weeks before and one week aft
er freshening. Another Ohio sta
ton project was the development of
borer-resistant corn hybrids.
Experiments at Pennsylvania and
elsewhere disclose that fowl paraly-
sis, which caused SAB 100000 loss
in 10 poultry states one year, can
be controlled by selective breeding
and culling.
But lest any farmer get the no.
ton that the scientific research job
has been completed and that he
can get along without it, Mr. Beeler
suggests that he remember just one
menace-wheat rust.
"Ceres was stem rust resistant
variety distributed by North Dakota
in 1885," he points out. "By 1888 it
occupied 100000 acres. But GER
tain physiologic races of rust in

ceptibility to leaf rust. But the Min
nesota station announces New-hatch,
outyielding Thatcher by SO per cent

AND SO, NO ATLANTIC
CHARTER AFTER ALL

Crowded by insistent reporters at his
first conference after his election vaca-
ton and the first regular one after the
November vote battle, President RooSe-
welt gave the astounding information that
there never has been an Atlantic Charter.
The disclosure came in connection with
the reporters wanting to know when the
much-talked meeting of the President,
Churchill and Stain Will be held.
1t turns out, according to the Presi-
dent, that no official or even completed
document was signed in the mid-Atlantic
parley in the summer of 1941 when
Roosevelt and the British premier had
their first meeting after England had
entered the war against Germany. 1t
seems that both initiated or signed copies
of memoranda and that each has the
copy the other signed.
incidentally, in passing, the chief exec
utive declared that it is his belief that
the United Nations are sticking TO the
principles of the charter"
Since that mid-ocean meeting the prin-
ciples of what has been termed all this
time The Atlantic Charter have been in
the limelight of debate. The document
had to do with the rights of all nations
and in the process of the war before the
United States actually marshaled arms,
it was held that Britain was choosing ar
bitrarily to what nations it might apply.
At no time during the time since 1941
has there been by hint of any kind that
the charter actually did not exist; that
it was a Pigment of the minds of the two
men. At the most it only could be dec
claration of principles since both con-
gress and parliament necessarily would
have had to approve of it. However. it
did hold out hopes of nations striving
for independence and British colonies
were among those nations.
The Presidents admission of the nom
existence of the charter can have no eff
feet on the document itself as it general
ly had been conceded that it had been put
in the discard anyway. The point is that
plain deception has been practiced again
on the public and with the same disre-
gard for the intelligence of the people.
Even in the recent presidential cam
paign much mention was made of that
"epochal event. in the Atlantic. But not
a word from the President to set the
matter right.

DEWEY AND THE
as NOMINATION

(RiVerSide Daily PreSS)
Governor Dewey will have to decide
whether to try to hold on to his leader
ship of the Republican party, or to retire
to the sidelines in the contest for the 194S
nominations. The Republican National
committee is scheduled to meet in jan
uary. If it retains Herbert Brownell,
Jr., as chairman, Deweys chances of con-
troll will be strengthened, but there are
rumors that Brownell is determined to
quit.
Of course, if Dewey is defeated for gov
ernor in 1916, he will be out of the politl-
cal picture. The CIO-PAC will work
against him again Paul E. Fitzpatrick,
New York state Democratic chairman,
has predicted that Dewey would lose the
governorship two years hence.
If Dewey should be nominated for
President again in 194S, another preced-
ent in American politics will be broken,
for the COP has never yet renominated
a defeated presidential candidate. The
Democrats have done so thrice-Cleve-
land in 1892 (he'w won, too), and Bryan III
1900 and 1908.
After the 1914 election Colonel McCor-
mick of the Chicago Tribune called Dew
ey a weak candidate, in part because he
represented the New York outlook So
if Dewey tries for the 194S nomination, he
would have to overcome determined op-
position from the Chicago Tribune camp.
Some defeated presidential candidates
in the past have called it day, and have
stepped aside to let new leaders take
control. Others have tried to stay in the
saddle.

Brock Estimates
Food Supplies
Will Hold Levels

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 20. (UP)-
California'S consumers will find as
much food on store shelves during
1e45 as was available in 1914, A. A.
Brock. director of agriculture, esti-
mates.
Some commodities may be more
plentiful but relative shortages in
others will result in an overall total
of about equal to present supplies,
Brock said.
There will be less pork. but ade-
ouate supplies of veal and beef, al
though the latter will be utility
grade instead of the higher priced
finished" beef, he said.
BEEF SITUATION
He pointed out that most of the
beef available to civilian consumers
during the past year has been utility
type.
Brock added that higher per cap
ita consumption of meat has con-
tributed to an appearance OF short
ages"
However, there will be a smaller
quantity of dry beans for sale be-
cause of a very low 1914 crop. and
butter also will continue to be
scarce, Brock said.
He said the supply of potatoes
will be short during the first part OF
the year until the early crops start
moving from southern California.
rrCc nDnnU UENT
Brock said conflicting reports are
current regarding eggs, some agri-
cultural statisticians predicting a
curtailed supply in spite of the fact
that the War Food Administration
apparently intends to buy up sur
plus" eggs in new price-support

The state agricultural director said

GERMANNS' COUNTER MOVE
SOUNDS LIKE LAST GASP

The most that will come out of the
sudden and terrific counterattack on the
western front in Europe is higher cas-
ualty list 1t is sheer murder because
there isn't chance in the world that the
Allies will be defeated. 1t does, how
ever, back up the warnings from military
leaders in the field that much hard fight
ing lies ahead.
1t is a terrific price to pay for brief
morale builder for the deluded German
people. What if the Nazi propaganda
should be right and the Nazis be in Paris
by Christmas. 1t all would only postpone
the end by a few weeks or months.
There is little doubt that the strategy
is that of the Himmler- -Goering- -Goebbels
leadership which few now dispute has
taken over and forced Hitler's retirement
to the Job of running the Nazi political
party.
While the whole picture is gloomy,
there are encouraging bits of news trlc-
king through the usual biackout ON
word from the front. At many points
the drive has been stopped cold, in others
the initial speed materially has been slow
ed. Also the enemy is suffering losses
that cannot be replaced, while all the
American armies are drawing tremend-
Gus fighting supplies.
The brief reverse does not reflect on
Eisenhower or other generals driving on
Berlin.
