A fistful of garden lime worked

The best plants are stocky,

Stakes, six to seven feet tall,
should be set first, two feet
apart each way, and a single

Plants should be set to the

Care must be taken when plant

plants should not be removed
while the soil in the pot Is dry.
Plants should be set about four
inches from the stake, firmed

take hold and the clusters OF

CHANGE in farm
LABOR PROBLEMS

There is a report in Washington
that jurisdiction over farm labor will
be taken from the Department of Agri-
culture and turned over to the Depart
ment of Labor This is a part of a
general move to place all labor prob
lens under one roof. This is all to
the good. Farm labor would cease to be
an orphan if such a shift were made
Once the. shift is made, experts in
Washington foresee the same prob
lens for the new Secretary of Labor,
Lewis B. Schellenbach, as were ex-
perienced by Farm Security Admins
tration. AS long as the agricultural
extension service retains control oyer
farm labor locally, it will continue to
prohibit programs for wages, housing,
health, and sanitation, from being
established. The extension service is
administered by county agents whose
interests in the south are those of the
large plantation owners organized in
the Farm Bureau Federation.
Decisions made in Washington with
respect to farm labor while county
agents retain their present power, will
be subject to veto on the local level.
Political pressure will prevent any
effective programs for farm labor de-
veloped by the Labor Department
from being carried out.

RURAL HOUSING
LEGISLATION
INTRODUCED

Senate Bill 1912, the General Hous-
ing Act of 1874, was introduced in the
senate last week by Senators Robert
f. Wagner and Allen J. Ellender,
along with the Taft committee report.
Both the Wagner-Ellender bill and
the Taft report point to the need for
rural housing. although the bill only
provides concrete proposals. The pro-
visions for rural housing contained
in the bill are basically of two types:
% Non-subsidized housing on a basis
similar to the Tenant-Purchase pro-
gram of the Department of AgricuI-
ture providing go loans and long term
payments, and (2) Substituting housing
to be administered through local hous-
ing authorities by Federal Public
Housing. Five million dollars a year
for five years for subsidies is asked.
1t would make possible approximately
10000 rural units
The Taft report points to the lack
of adequate information and proposals
regarding rural housing and stresses
the urgent need for study in this field.
Federal Public Housing badly needs
a rural section stated by specialists
in the field. It's present staff is total
ly inadequate for this purpose, and
although officials recognize the need,
they are prohibited from doing sig
nificant rural work by lack of funds.

MOVING In ON
ELECTRIC C0-OPS
Drive On by Profit Power
Interests to Buy Out Electric
Coop; New Profit Power
Propaganda Headquarters
Set Up in Washington.
By JOHN CARSON
Washington Representative
The Cooperative League

WASHINGTON (CLNS) = Rural
electric co-operatives are being thrust
into another rapidly developing battle
on the old issue of public power YER
sus profit power"
Reports have come to Washington
that the profit power interests have
organized to seduce and then buy
rural electric cooperative properties.
1t is reported that the purchase of one
property in Pennsylvania has neared
completion, that discussions are being
had looking towards the purchase of
two more properties in Maryland and
that an active campaign to acquire
properties in Arkansas is under way.
The campaign propaganda appears to
be well organized around the old and
very questionable theme of consumers
Of power having everything to gain
and nothing to lose" The co-opera-
tive owners are offered a price which
will be greater than their investment
and then they will buy power at fair
rates fixed by the utility commissions
of the states"
The campaign will force Claude r.
Wickard, administrator of the Rural
Electrification Administration and the
entire organization into a determine
ton of policy. He will have to be-
come the militant advocate of rural
electric co-operatives and ownership
by the consumers of those facilities
or remain silent and neutral. And
neutrality in this fight will, inevita-
bly,, result in giving assistance to the
profit power interests. Right now,
Wickard is faced by the issue Of en-
or discouraging the develop
ment and ownership by co-operatives
of productive facilities.
Harry A. Slattery and John Car
mody, predecessors to Wickapd as
of REA never faltered
in the battle over this general issue
hesitation they encouraged
the ownership by co-operatives of pro-
1uction facilities wherever it was nee
essary to protect the interests of the
co-operatives.

DELM0 LABOR
HOMES
BEING SOLD

Farm Security Administration has
extended the date for bids to be re-
ceived on the Delmo Labor Homes
| in southeast Missouri until August
23rd
In the meantime, housing corpora
tion has been formed in Missouri by
a group of prominent st. Louis citi-
zens headed by Bishop William Scar
lett, to aid the residents and others
to purchase the homes, small tracts
of land, and household furnishings.
Residents and other farm families
have raised $4,000 cash at the rate
of 800 per family to be offered as
down payment on the homes A sim
liar amount has been pledged to be
paid within so days. If the bid made
by the corporation is accepted by FSA,
the residents will pay monthly pay
'ments over a period of years and re-
.ceive a deed to their homes.
The plan for private purchase of
the project was worked out following
the failure of congress to act on leg
islation introduced by Congressman
Frank E. Hook of Michigan. Hearings
were held in Washington on July 10,
attended by residents of the project
and others interested in saving the
housing project from being broken up
and sold as salvage to large planters.
Rev. David S. Burgess, Congrega-
tionalist minister who has been work
ing with the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union in attempts to save the hous-
ing project for the farm families,
charges that reactionary officials of
the Farm Security Administration are
more interested in "the High Dollar"
than in the human values Of poor peo-
pie owning their homes.

Inree resolutions we're COil-
sidered the following one be-
ing adopted after much de-
bate:
Whereas, Business. industry, farm
ers and workers of the states compris-
ing the Tennessee Valley are unani-
nous in their praise of the benefits
to the entire area, through the devel-
opment by IVA, and,
Whereas, A bill has been intro
duced in congress which would set
up a Missouri Valley Authority pat
termed after IVA, and,
Whereas, The states comprising
the Missouri Valley drainage area
have far greater natural resources
than any of the states comprising the
IVA, and the development of these
natural resources would open new
frontiers of commerce, industry and
agriculture which would give employ
ment to our returning soldiers and
Whereas, Opposition to this ma
tional project has developed from a
group whom we believe are influenced
by the great power and other selfish
corporate interests DESTROYS of monop-
olistic control of our great streams,
power sites and other natural re-
sources, and which in the case of the
irrigation dam at Toston, Montana,
gives us foundation for this belief;
also the fact that hydroelectric power
sites are and have been under monop-
olistic control thereby depriving the
people Of full use and benefit of these
most important natural resources, and
Whereas, 1t is our considered
opinion that the interests of irrigation
navigation, flood control and power
development can be best served by
the establishment of one authority
with full authority to develop and pre-
serve the peoples interests; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we urge and re-
quest congress to establish a Missouri

Tennessee Valley Authority, designed
