Farmers are taking advantage OF
every means to produce more food
for victory. That evidence is shown
in the fact that they purchased twice
as much fertilizer in the past twelve
months as in the year previous.
Assistant Farm Advisor George
l.. Winright says the fertilizer prob
lem does not stay licked and so
farmers are still buying heavily to
feed their crops. They are now
using over two million tons per year
more than they used four years ago.
Much of the increased production of
the past three years has been be-
cause of fertilizers farmers have
applied to their soil In Imperial
county the increased use of phos-

Farmers who have taken pride in

Milkwee6s may save the lives of

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has been requested by the War
Production Board to collect $780,
600 pounds of milkweed floss this
year to meet requirements of the
armed forces. Since it takes three
years to grow milkWeed as a crop,
this supply will have to come from

.20tb Century club
Hears DR.. HnnneL

Why China Is Democratic" was
the subject of discussion yesterday
by DR.. Arthur w. Hummel, head of
the Asiatic division of the Library
of Congress, at a meeting of the
Twentieth Century Club at the
YWCA.
A former resident of China, DR..
Hummel explained why the Chinese
could be trusted to take the lead In
Asia after the japanese are crushed.
Since before Christ, the Chinese
have been instilled with the spirit
Iof liberty, DR.. Hummel said. and
should be aided in the promotion
of these democratic ideals. Though
the Chinese still lack the actual
machinery of democracy, they have
Iplanned postwar constitution with
emphasis on local governments, the
speaker added The fear that the
400 100000 Chinese may some day
be deluded, as the Germans have
been, by wild man" who will turn
them against the Occident is hard
to believe, he argued. The Chinese
temperament is such that they
don't believe any man knows all
the answers. They therefore refuse
to go all out for anybody or any,
thing. THE Chinese are born skep-
tics and too reasonable to be fooled
by demagogues or doctrines" DR..
Hummel concluded.
His address was preceded by a talk
oy Lit. Helen SWEET, WAVE. She
said that the number of women in
the WAVES must be augmented
from $4,000 to $1,000 by the end of
the year.
