This disclosure by the COM

ESQ Farmers
Meet al Romeo
Organized Control
Urged by Speaker

Agricultural gains made in
Michigan during recent years
must be consolidated and pro-
tected by a united farming
front, $50 members of the Ma
comb County Farm Bureau were
informed Wednesday night at a
meeting held in Romeo High
School, under the bureaus
sponsorship.
The urge towards organized
control of their vital industry
was made by Stanley Powell,
principal speaker, and legisla-
tive counsel of the State Farm
Bureau, who deserted lobbying
work in the farmers interests.
PROTEST STALL RENTALS
Principal action of the we'll
attended meeting was the pas
sage of a resolution vigorously
protesting to the Detroit Com
mon Council its recent action in
raising Eastern Market stall
rentals, an action which hit
many truck gardeners and was
the basis for a mass meeting of
protest at Waldenburg Tuesday.
The farm bureau meeting was
conducted by Allen Rush, presi-
dent of the Macomb County
bureau. County Agricultural
Agent William Murphy was
among the speakers.
Speaker Powell described the
farm bureau legislative set-up,
whereby each county bureau and
grange has local legislative COM
mittee members who keep in
close touch with farm prob
lens, taxation, rural education,
highway financing and other
matters. These representatives
pass on vital information, reso-
lutions and expressions of opin-
ion to the state bureau, which in
turn studies them.
Policies are determined on the
basis of general farm welfare,
and pending legislation is dis
sected with this in view. New
legislation is designed where a

Russian troops push d
through the outlying suburbs OF
Odessa today within nine miles
of the heart of the besieged
Black Sea port, and the caco-
phony of battle already filled
the ears of the estimated 200,-
900 Germans and Rumanians
pinned down there.
The third Ukrainian army OF
Gen. Rodion Y. Malinovsky
pressed in for the kill from
three sides and Soviet bombers
laid a barrage on sea and ferry
escape channels.
Some 1875 miles behind the
front in Rumania, American
heavy bombers dealt Germany
another staggering blow yester-
day with an assault upon the
rail yards and oil refineries of
Ploesti. Massed tank cars were
exploded, tracks were ripped,
columns of black smoke swish
ed three miles high.
VITAL TO REICH
Germany obtains 100000
tons of oil annually from Ru-
mania, about a third of the
Reich's requirements. With the
great Ploesti fields imminently
threatened by Russian armies
and Allied bombs, the deputy
commander of the Mediterran-
can air forces, Air Marshal Sir
John Scissor, declared:
1.-The Germans could not pos
sibly carry on without them"
AS a by-product, the bombers
and their escorts destroyed
more than 40 planes. A dozen
heavy bombers were lost. Sew
eral dozen other Nazi planes
were destroyed aground and
five aloft by U. S. Mustangs
from Britain which shot up
German airfields near Berlin
and Munich and in France.
Eight attackers were lost.
Heavy British bombers struck
German aircraft repair shops at
Toulouse in Southern France,
losing a single plane.
