BY FRANK NORRIS

Preparing for the opening of

the decisions toward dawn on
Saturday. The delegates later in
the day will be expected to ratify
these decisions.

UAW-CIO; Richard T. Franken-
Steen, vice president, and others.

ton to the national convention.

given a cold shoulder to Fry's
suggestion that he run for secre-
tary of state, this place on the
ticket may go TO Joseph Wisniew-
ski. public safety commissioner OF

PIon To Provide
Forms For
War Veterans

In formulating principles of guild
ance for establishment of veterans,
war workers and farm youths on
farms after the war, the Interbu-
reau Committee of the Department
of Agriculture points out that most
of the good agricultural land in the
United States already is in. farms
Approximately one and one-half
million veterans with farm expert
ence will be demobolized following
the war, many of the three million
war workers with farm experience
may wish to return to farming, and
thousands of farm youths will be
looking forward to a place in agri-
culture. the committee reported.
'Intensification, improvement and
further development in productive
land areas might make $50, 900 fam
lily farms available during the five
years after the war, and if addi-
tfonal farms are needed, perhaps
100000 more could be developed
within 10 years through reclama-
ton, the committee said.

Sugar Harvest
To Set Record
Florida Everglades Crop to
Yield 100000 Tons in
Six Months.

CLEWISTON, FLA.-The largest
raw sugar mill in the United States
reached capacity output of almost
1000 pounds minute as 1000 pick
ers harvested the war-rationed crop
in the Florida Everglades.
From the 10000 acres OF cane
under cultivation in the rich muck
soil surrounding the southern banks
OF Lake Okeechobee will come more
than record 100000 tons Of raw
sugar during the next six months.
This together with sugar produced
in other sections Of the United States
must partly supply the needs OF
nation whose imports have been cur
tailed by the war. Before Pearl Har-
Dor, the United States depended
upon Cuba, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines for more than two
thirds OF its total consumption.
Destroyed Four Years Ago.
Four years ago the U. S. Sugar
corporation. which operates II plan
tations in Florida, was destroying
acres Of the new precious cane. The
federal government, under the sug
ar act of 1887, had. limited Florida
production to per cent of the to-
tai amount used in the United
States.
Shortly before December I the re-
striction was lifted by presidential
proclamation. But 1t was too late
The producers who. suddenly were
called upon to step up production
found that machinery and other ma
terials needed for the expansion
were. not available.
Today they are attempting 70 re-
place with research and efficiency
Of operation what they lack in ia
cilities.
The Florida corporation maintains
two laboratories and staff of sci
entists who are constantly expert
menting with varieties OF cane in an
effort to get the utmost return from
planting. The sugar house, which
formerly operated on two shifts q
day, has been placed on three
shift, 24-hour-a-day schedule.
Sugar for the Soldiers.
This forced-draft tempo Of opera
ton has spread to the fields and
the plantation homes OF the Negroes
who reap the cane. It is reflected
in the made-up songs they sing as
they swing the machette-like cane
knives.
"Cut it short and get it all in ]. ;.
gotta send more sugar to the soldier
men," is the type Of chant that is
heard above the metallic ring Of the
sharp blade against the brittle cane.
The Everglades harvest will con-
tinue until the middle OF May, al
most month longer than last year
Jay W. Moran, vice president Of the
corporation, predicted that it would
be the largest in the Florida indus
try's history, more than doubling
that Of FIVE years ago.
