Although we see some wonderful
vegetable gardens in towns and on
farms, we find a greater number
than usual neglected this year. A
part of this neglect is due to bad
weather, but the fact that we have
some excellent gardens Is proof
enough that a much higher percent
of our people could have had more
vegetables growing at this time OF
he year if the proper effort had
been put forth.
From now on gardeners will need
to watch for insects and diseases.
The white butterfly is said to be
advance notice of the cabbage worm
that is active in Mississippi from
February to December. When you
see this fly, you should be reminded
that you will need to dust a little
later with calcium arsenate, or spray
with three teaspoonfuls Of lead ar
senate in a gallon of water. Use
either one.
Safer than calcium arsenate is
Derris Dust, containing one-half per-
cent of rotenone. This material is
not poisonous to man. Another rem
edy is cryolite, which IL slightly
poisonous but can be used safely on
any vegetable which will be washed
thorouhly before it is used. These
poisons should be applied again
within ten days or two weeks If
worms are still present.
Lice and cattle grub loss can be
easily reduced by treatment with
rotenone. Many farmers of the coun-
ty used this treatment for grubs
during the past winter. Reports COM
ing from some of these people show
that this treatment has been highly
satisfactory.
Keep the dairy herd healthy, is
a suitable slogan and especially so
at this critical time of our nation.

So This Is New York
BY Moth Cauohan

We Day was celebrated here In
typical New York manner. The PEG.
pie who live here like to celebrate
things anyway and this was a glor-
ious occasion to give vent to feelings
long pent-up by wartimes. Everyone
from the mayor on down seemed to
think that he should do something
individually appropriate. And when
mass hysteria strikes a place as big
as this city-big things happen. II
you love peace and quiet, it's no
place to be. But Gothamites put
peace ahead of quiet on this day and
the lid blew off.

Times Square, Of course, was the
center Of the melee. This magic tri-
angle, incorrectly called a square. Is
just like the courthouse lawn in any
small town when it comes TO gather
ings. The people naturally flock to
the middle Of the city and there find
themselves surrounded with support
Of each other. On We Day, 100000
damned into the Square and armed
with whistles, tin horns and bells
literally made the welkin Of the
sky ring. Now and then they would
pause to look eagerly at the huge
bulletin board news flashes on the
Times Building, then back to their
rushing and milling like some man.
mouth game of ring-around-the rose.
In the early morning, millions here
lowered around radios listening to
the Presidents short speech, and the
Hooper Rating people estimated that
throughout the nation, the largest
crowd In radio history heard the
program.

6. N. Head Says Unions
lqnore Public Interest
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Charles E.
Wilson, Detroit. president of Gen.
eral Motors Corp, declared yester-
day labor unions are using monop-
olistic power" as a tool of aggres-
sion" to promote industrial strife,
rather than to safeguard the rights
and equities of workmen.
In an address to the Executives
Club of Chicago, Mr.. Wilson said
the public interest was being COM
pletely overlooked" In the Nation s
widespread labor disputes situation
He added:
''T'he idea that a few thousand
truck drivers can shut off the gaso-
line supply OF the people. A few
thousand elevator operators can
keep hundreds of thousands of New
Workers from going to their work
The stockholders, management and
employees of a big utility could en-
gage in economic warfare to shut
of the light and power of one OF
our big cities-certainly these can
not be tolerated in modern society
The rule OF reason must be sub
stituted for the rule of force. espe-
cially when the public interest is at
stake. Sound procedures for solv-
ing such problems must be worked
out without jeopardizing the funda-
mental rights and responsibilities OF
all parties involved"

Credit for Postcapture
Battles Denied p0Ws
BY tho Associated Press,

BY tho Associated Press.
Former prisoners of war looking
forward to discharges on points got
bad news from the War DEPART
'nent yesterday.
They are not entitled to battle
participation stars - worth five
points each--which were conferred
on their outfits during their i'm
prisonment.
Rear echelon troops in official
combat areas received the stars IA
we'll as those who actually partici-
pated Ia the fighting. AS an ex-
ample, many WACs serving with
9th Air Force headquarters outfits
In England were credited with as
many as Ave stars.
But as for the prisoners, the War
Department figures this way:
Battle participation stars 60 only
to personnel assigned or attached
to units credited with participation
in the specified campaigns.
When man lis taken prisoner, his
name is removed from his outfits
rolls after 80 days SO that the COM
mander may request a replacement.
Several members Of Congress,
complaining that the system dis
eliminates against the men who un-
derwent hardship while in enemy
hands, have proposed that ex-pris-
oners Of war be discharged upon
request.
