FARMERS BREAKING WAR FOOD
RECORDS

New war food production records
are being established this year by
Maryland farmers.
The average number of dairy cows
per farm (12.9 head) is the largest
of record. The States dairy cow pop
ulation also exceeds all previous
numbers.
Milk production per cow has in
creased six-tenths of one per cent in
recent months and the production
on June 1, of this year, (18.6 pounds
per animaD has been equalled or ex-
ceeded only four times in the last
eighteen years.
The Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association reports the
May II milk production of it's MEM
bers the highest of record and their
May daily volume 24OO gallons above
last year.
Dairy production payments by the
State AAA indicate milk production
increase of 100000 pounds in April
of this year, over October of last
year.
Monthly egg production jumped
A 100000 eggs.
Wheat, rye, oats and barley pro-
duction this year will exceed the
1933-42 average.

CONSUMER GOODS SURVEY

Several thousand representative
American families have been queried
by the War Production Board to de-
termine what merchandise needs and
future buying needs to escape re-
strictions.
The questionnaires show that there
is an extremely short supply of wash
boilers, carpet sweepers, tea kettles,
lawn mowers, alarm clocks, garbage
cans, radio tubes, window screening,
electric heating pads, extension
cords, can openers, frying pans, and
double boilers, wash tubs, and step
on garbage cans.
Inconvenience and hardship from
inability to buy are highest in the
case of unsatisfied demand for heat
ing pads, alarm clocks, window
screening, wash boilers, wash tubs
and outside garbage cans and lawn
mowers.
The $500 families interviewed, Sc
lected as proportionately representa-
tive of the population, serve as a
base from which national supply and
demand is statistically projected.
These lists may be found to act
as ''tip" for many local business
houses and factories.

WHEAT-sYMBOL OF VICTORY

At big gathering of wheat grow
ers in Kansas few days ago, FEEDER
al officials from Washington and the
farmers agreed upon statement
from one of their number that 1.-THE
reaper and the threshing machine
are symbols of victory now just as
they were in World War l, but
thanks to many things, the present
position of wheat as it concerns the
Nation is vastly better than it was
at the time of the last war"
The Kansas Wheat Improvement
Association apparently reached this
conclusion in a review of conditions
showing that after we entered World
War l that the United States OBJ
served "wheatless Wednesdays" and
in 1918 the British were begging
Washington to send them wheat. On
July /, 1914, there was carry-over
of 800 million bushels. Hurrah for
our wheat growers!

THERE'S NO INDISPENSABLE
MAN

In the not too distant future
Americans will have the privilege OF
electing a new President. This ira
ditional heritage epitomizes the
strength and virility of our form of
government" observed Eugene W..
Castle, New York businessman, with
out political ambitions, in an address
before a joint meeting of the Adver-
Using and Kiwanis Clubs of Toledo,
Ohio. The President of Castle Films
analysed the indispensable man"
as a politically inspired untruth-
an untruth because never before in
our history has there been such
a need for a fearless and vigorous
Administrator Nevertheless, he in
sisted, there are available human
supplies to be found among scores
of Republicans and Democrats, all of
whom have wide administrative eX-
perience in government and who
would qualify as IAN able and worthy
President of the United States
You can always depend on Castle
for the right answers-for the reason
that all his interest and purposes are
in the welfare and progress of his
own United States. He rang the bell
at Toledo when he stated: ANY man
who is worthy to be elected to the
highest office within the gift of the
American people becomes known to
the entire world, and overnight
That's a good little classic to store
away in ones memory! "If we really
mean that one indispensable man,
who presently happen to be in the
world lime light, is the only Ameri-
can capable of guiding our future
destinies, then the rest of us will
have to beseech God to give this
man eternal life," he added.
All of which leads us to reflect on
the famous Castle Concepts of Free
dom, viz:
FREEDOM FROM amateurish
management, bureaucracy, pressure
groups, and from violation of States
rights"
However, he challenged: 1--WE do
not wish to provide more freedom
for foreigners and less freedom for
Americans"

POSTWAR MEDICAL PROBLEMS

Medical officers of the Armed
Forces are showing their interest in
postwar problems Their concern is
how their future economy and ideals
are cared for at a period when they
can have little voice for or against
Socialized or Federalized medical
practice.
Threatening to their place on re-
turn and threatening to public well
fare is Senate Bill 1851 sponsored by
Senators Wagner, Murray and Din
CELL as an amendment to the Social
Security Act of 1885. This 9O-page
bill is in the most modern style of
legislative writing and contains new
terminology and confusing matter.
Six per cent of the individuals
wage matched by six per cent from
the employer would be collected into
a medical benefit fund. There is also
a method of collection from the self
employed No one would do other
than he does about his Social Securi-
ty-he would pay it, Estimated fig
ures only can be offered, but on the
basis of 1940-42 employment some
60.4 millions of persons would have
an estimated deduction from wages
of 2339 billion dollars.
This vast fund for medical and
hospital care collected at luxury and
exorbitant rates has no provision for
the care of the INDECENT 1t is SO pow
erful and extended that the health
of man and his family may be used
for the service of a political agency.
There is no part of it that will foster
the imagination or initiative of any
individual practicing physician or
scientist
Bill S. 1851 would destroy the
present system of medical practice
as it is known today. The United
States, which for twenty years has
been the leader in medical progress
and administrative, would be classed
with Russia, England, Austria, and
Germany, where state medicine is in
effect.
Maryland physicians find them
selves opposed to Senate Bill 1161,
the Socialized Medicine Bill, or the
ner-Murray-Dingell Bill They
teel that Maryland should work out
her problem and not the United
States Government unless it's aid is
requested. Maryland physicians and
not S. 1161 put in motion in 1899
machinery looking toward the care
of the medically INDECENT and toward
the distribution of medical care.
Maryland physicians feel that the
public can be educated by themselves
and individuals and organizations,
how best to utilize the services avail
able at the moment. They feel that
everyone can insure voluntarily
against the financial strain that ill
ness provides as the prudent man
against the momentary losses caused
by other accidents and they feel that
they must protect that vital thera-
peutic role of confidence between the
patient and his doctor then the indi-
vidual has the choice of his medical
attendant.

PLANT SCIENTISTS AID
MUSICIANS

Scarcity of wood+wind musical in
struments has resulted in efforts to
produce them in this country, says
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The best reeds in the past have
come from cane grown in Southern
France. Recently musicians have
found that equally good reeds can
be made from the giant reed or freed

Southwest. AS further aid to the
musicians, the Agricultural Research
Administration scientists have found
a tasteless chemical, ethyl cellulose,
that waterproofs the reeds, thus in
creasing their utility and life. The
scientists say musicians have report

PAINLESS WORLD AIM OF
SCIENCE

A world without prolonged physi-
cal pain looms as a result of the tre-
mendous strides made by physicians
with the armed forces.
Scientific knowledge of pain, its
measurements and control, makes it
certain that our children and grand
children will suffer less pain than
any generation in world history.
''In the last few years our neurol-
ogists and neurosurgeons and physi-
ologists have learened more about
pain and how to end or control it
than doctors ever knew BEFORE" AL
Der @. Maizel writes in the June is
sue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
''They have learned SO much they
are almost afraid of their new know
ledge. Things that once seemed sim
pie they know now to be infinitely
complex. Knowing more than they
ever did before, they realize how
much they have yet to learn"
Much of the knowledge which
these scientists have garnered has
been amassed through hideous ex
periments in pain in which they
themselves served as guinea pigs,
the writer states.
But the results of these self-tor-
lures mean that you and your child
rem will suffer far less pain than
people ever have before" he asserts
To-day they have made yesterdays
miracle a commonplace. Yet their
eyes are on tomorrow's miracles
miracles which will make this, for
ever so many of us, an almost pain
less world"

MILKwEED SCOUTS

The "Milkweed Scouts" this sum-
mer will include most of the mem
bers of the other varieties of boy and
girl scouts, and practically all the
other clubs and organizations-not
excepting the schools themselves
that include youngsters of school
and high school age in the populous
northeast part of the Nation.
Whenever there is hike, or pic
mic, trip to swimmin' hole or a
Journey to a farm to help farmer
on the food front, it is expected that
youthful eyes will be kept peeled to
'spot" milkweed plants that will be
ripe for picking about the time school
starts in the fall.
Milkweed pods are needed as a
substitute for kapok. Kapok, the U.
S. Department of Agriculture ex-
plains, is the material that has
proved most useful for filling life
Jackets that will keep sailors or sol
diers afloat if their ship is shot cut
from under them in war. Kapok
comes from the East Indies and the
Japs have cut off the supply. Floss
from milkweeds is the next best
thing, and the children of the country
are being asked to gather milkweed
pods when they are ripe enough-but
not until they are ripe enough.
Milkweeds grow wild. Theya are a
weed. BY scouting for milkweeds
durino tho ciImmor and making q
note of where they were seen a milk
weed scout will know where to go to
collect the pods later. With scouts
out all summer it ought to be pos
sible to make nearly a clean sweep
of the country when the pods are ripe
enough to gather
Milkweeds grow wild in Minnesota,
Iowa, and Missouri, and in all States
east of these and north of the Ohio
River-also in Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, and northward
There will be an organized campaign
and milkweed scouts can get infor-
nation from schools, the local War
Board, the county agent; or the Soil
Conservation Service office. In each
county arrangements will be made
for collecting and shipping the pods
The collecting agency will furnish
open mesh bags for gathering the
pods and will tell the collectors how
to take care of the pods and gel
them dried.
1t will take about 500 pods, on
| fhn fn fill n ho Tho
will be 20 cents for a bagful. Milk
weed scouts may not get rich, but
they will be able to buy some extra
War savings stamps if they want to
| put the money to good use. 1t will
take the floss from about two bags
of pods to make a life saving jacket
and two bagfuls gathered by a milk
weed scout may save the life of a
! fighting man.

More Horses In Their Laps

in 24-cylinder design and rating
up to 5000 horsepower, has just
been announced by it's builder, the
Allison Division of General Motors.
This new engine is described as
the most powerful aircraft engine in
the world, and stands as another fine
technical achievement in American
aviation towering. 1t advances still
more the prestige of liquid-cooled
airplane engines, which already have
made remarkable showings, and is
tribute not only to General Motors
