STILL DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

According to the Department OF
Justice. the railroads and the In
terstate Commerce Commission have
done nothing right for the past fif-
ty years-the public was mulcted
and mistreated al every turn. AS a
sort of final broadside. the Attor-
ney General wound up the Depart
ment's fault finding expedition with
an antitrust suit against the rail
roads, seeking to break up the rate
making and regulatory machinery
which govern railroad operation,
and abolish the effective railroad
organizations responsible for the
magnificent manner in which rail
transportation has met the war
emergency. 1t is difficult to treat
such action AT the present time with
respect.
The views of Brigadier General
Andrew F. Mcintyre. Chief, Rail
Division. Army Transportation
Corps, as expressed before a re-
cent meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Shippers Advisory
Boards. are in sharp contrast to
those of the Department of Justice.
General Mcintyre referred to the
excellent spirit of cooperation be-
tween the shippers, the Association
of American Railroads (which the
Department of Justice hopes to dis
solve). and individual railroads. and
the Army, and added: THE war
department sOlicits the continuance
of your cooperation, and while we
may have gone over the hump in
the greatest wartime transportation
effort in our history, and while we
may have done ii without the con-
gestion of the last war. the job is
by no means done. Conservation of
transportation equipment and trans
portatiOn facilities and manpower
will for some time continue to mer-
it the same measure of efficiency
that has crowned your efforts. and
ours, with success during nearly
three years of war"
Clearly, the war would have been
immeasurbly if the rail-
roads had failed in any degree in
the critical months following Pearl
Harbor. Equally clear is the fact
that if the existing functioning me-
chanism of the railroads is disrupt
ed by legal dismemberment, coop
Grafton of the character described
as so necessary for the duration of
the war by General Mcintyre,
would be impossible.
Is this the way the Department of
Justice protects the public well
fare?

PROTECT STORED GRAINS
FROM INSECT DAMAGE

The production of a good crop OF
grain requires much effort on the
part of the farmer. But his Yigi-
lance cannot stop with the harvest
ing of the crop, or the saboteur in
sects will have a chance to do their
work. Several species of beetles
and moth larvae attack dried
grains and seeds, and they will do
a great deal of damage unless they
are eliminated promptly.
Fumigation provides the most
practical means of controlling
these insects on the farm, accord
ing to DR.. Paul l.. Rice, entomOlo-
gist for the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service.
An explanation of methods of
fumigating grain was prepared
last year by the Extension Service
in the form of Information Card
No. So, Delaware Farm Grain
Storage Calendar" and copies are
still available at the county extern
sion offices in Newark, Dover, and
Georgetown. This card gives up-tO-
date suggestions on storage and on
methods of fumigation. 1t has been
printed on durable cardboard so
that it can be tackled up on the
sranary wall for convenient refer
ence.
Three Immigrants are suggested,
each having it's individual advant-
age. A mixture of rs per cent ethy-
lene dichloride and 25 per cent
carbon tetrachloride is the safest
of the three to use. but it is also
the most expensive. A mixture of
ethelene dichloride. carbon tetra-
chloride, and metlyl bromide (sup-
piled commercially under the name
of Dow-Fume Br-10), is inexpen-
sive to use but it is quite poisonous
tc man as well as insects, and so
must be used with care. Carbon BIZ
suffice is also inexpensive. but it
must be used with care because ii
is inflammable and explosive. All
three are effective if used as di-
rected, and they can be employed
safely if proper precautions are
taken.
The Delaware Farm Grain Stor-
age Calendar" tells when and how
to use these fumigation properly. /
More than 125 people attended
four field meetings held in Della /
ware, November and 10 for tur- I
key growers. according to J. Frank /
Gordy, poultryman for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice.
Feature of the meetings was a
demonstration on selection of tur- !
key breeders by Wade Rice. exten- I
sion poultryman for the University
of Maryland. Points emphasized by
Mr.. Rice We're:
/. Prospective breeders should be
selected from well matured birds.
Choose those with strong, fairly
erect carriage with shoulders the
highest point on the entire back
line; full, deep, well-rOunded
breast, carried well up so as not to
give forward tilted appearance;
short legs, stout of
bone, placed well apart, with only
back joints showing below the
body line; smooth tight feathering.
showing a thrifty sleek appear
ance.

THE POLITICAL FRONT

The Democrats have clear ma.
jority in the Senate and House o.
Representatives and President
Roosevelt will likely have no trou.
BILE in working with members oil
his party in Congress on questions
of war and peace. The country
voted satisfied" with Mr.. Roose-
-velt's foreign policies, and in
Washington it is agreed that he
was elected and selected to carry
on because he is Commander-in-
Chief.
But he has plenty of troubles
ahead inasmuch as there will con-
tinue to be a challenge of New
Deal social and economic reforms,
plus a widening split with State
governments in the North and the
South. that have ambitions to pre-
serve their integrity in the face of
the constant attempts of Mr.. Roose-
welt to centralize authority of gov
ernment in Washington.
A surprising feature of the Pres
idential election appears in the
popular vote. While the President
beat Governor Dewey about three
to one in the eleven Southern
States he topped Governor Dewey
by less than a million and a quar-
ter in the remaining 81 States.
This wide difference between the
fesult in the popular vote and in
the electoral vote has raised the
question in Washington of poss-
ible changes in the system of elect
ing a President. One observation
that has been echoed again and
again seems to constitute an at
tack upon the Electoral College.
accompanied with the suggestion
that il should be abolished in Or
der to level off the disparity be-
tween the popular vote and the
Electoral College. AS Quentin Rey-
nOlds observed. could be. could
be-" as witness the historical fact
that only few years ago a change
was made through a Constitutional
by which members of
the Senate were elected by popu-
lar vote. thereby cancelling the old
custom of turning the election of
Senators over to the Legislative
branches of States.
Such a change would be thor
oughly Democratic procedure: but
inasmuch as Democracy isn't used
a great deal in these days. no one
is brave enough at this time to
become the prophet of a change as
il is outlined above. Americans are
more during recent years
about Democracy round the world
than Democracy on the home front

Dear Mrs. Harrison:
Yesterday, l received a letter
from Dad and in it he enclosed
VictOr's address. The moment |
saw it l knew he was pretty close
to me, so | started a search which
ended today.
l found Victor, though | hardly
recognized him. He was stouter
and much more tanned than when
last saw him. Not that this war
is doing any of us any good. but
Victor certainly looks we'll.
On looking him up, | located an
old school chum whom l have not
seen for several years and thought
it was a small world. Today, Vic
informed me that he'd seen his
brother-in-law not long ago. /
suppose it really is a very small
world.
l expect to see Vic again soon
and will inform you as to his health
again.
Sincerely,
