Long Range Agriculture

Big question of the day is "When do we recOnvert?'. In the case of the worlds basic industry, farming, it is a question of conversion rather than reconversion. What about converting agriculture from the power animal to the power machine? How about making a twentieth century industry out of one that in some respects is still operating as it was in the Middle Ages
 An industrial leader who left his busy factory in Detroit the other day to talk to members of the Cleveland Farmers Club gave his hearers a challenging pie ture of postwar possibilities. Roger M. Kyes, president of Harry Ferguson, Inc, of Dearborn and Detroit, manufacturers of mechanical farm equipment, is an authority on agriculture and economics. Millions of farmers are still working with hand labor methods or with power ani- mals, he declared, and just as industry has become more and more productive as the capital invested to aid the worker has increased, so should the same proce- dure be applied to agriculture.
 This would require investment of forty billion dollars for soil conservation, re- foreStatlon of waste farm lands, reclama- tion, drainage, rural roads, farm struc- tureS rural identification, machinery and equipment and the creation of part time farms The program in it's entirety would require 13,000,000 man-yearS Of labor, according to Kyes.
 Agriculture, the basic industry, upon which all other industry depends for most raw materials, is in the rear ranks ir the Parade of Progress. Let's get 1t up in front where it belongs. Let's not be content merely to continue hand labor methods. Let's give the farm boys who became fighters and who will return to the farms, and to the millions working alongside them on the farms the benefits of modern, twentieth century methods and machinery. Let's forget about Ire conversion, as fas as the farm is con- cerned, and make it an actual and steady conversion. Look at these figures: From 1869 to 1887 the output of agricultural workers increased at the rate of 2.1 per cent per year, while that of industry in- creased at an average rate of 3.9 per cent per year. In other words, industrial workers increased their production al- most twice as much over that long period.
 A fraction of the energy, "know-hoW" and long range planning applied to agri- culture that has been and is being ap- piled to industry will produce marvels. Men like Kyes, who have the vision, are leading the way.

Lidice - Not to Be Forgotten

The civilized world reacted with con- Sternation and anger to the German broadcast of June 1O 1942. Srlugly and with no sense of damning guilt, the Nazis told the world that that day they had wiped out the Czechoslovakian village Of Lidice-killing every man, killing or en- slaving every woman, herding the chll- dren off for "education," and blowing the village of 90 homes into shapelesS rubble The world was stirred, not by Czechoslo- yak or Allied "atrocity' propaganda; the shameless Nazi criminals themselves were the first to tell the story, later con- firmed by one survivor who escaped to France and lived only short time until the Gestapo completed the job of ex- terminating Lidice. The murdered vil- lage became overnight new symbol for liberty-loving people of the whole world
 Why were these simple, harmless, hardworking people - farmers, miners, mechanics, the innkeeper who watched the sobriety of his customers and the venerable priest of St. Margaret's Church who guarded their souls - why were they selected for this dreadful ven geance? The Nazis explained Callous to human sympathies and sensitivity, they said that Lidice was suspected of having sheltered the Slayers of Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi obergruppenfuehrer of CzechoSlovakia, known to the civilized world as "the Hangman." They advanced no proof. They thought none necessary Let the world know that all who crossed the German will would meet the fate of e-eXternination.
 Within "A hours, it was plain that they had not destroyed Lidice and the ideals which it's freedom-loving Bohemians had cherished. They had made it immortal. They had given civilization another Solidly convincing reason for the utter up roofing of the scar of bestial Nazi die tatorship. New Lidices have arisen in other lands, including the United States and Mexico. On this third anniversary of June 10, 1922, Czechoslovakians are again free, to rebuild, if they so wish, the village that, in it's very ruins, stands as symbol of humanity triumphant over the Hangman's bloody philosophy.

Old Fears and the New Peace

It is easy to grouse at the Russian gov ernment for it's adamant stand for veto power in the United Nations organiza- tion that would permit the Big Five to Squelch action, investigation and even discussion of international disputes. It is easy to foreSee that, under such an arrangement, the organizations would be powerless even to begin doing the job en- visioned for it. It is easy to say that the new League would not even be what the old League of Nations became, 'debat- ing society,"" But it is extremely difficult to find reason for Russia'S determined stand which, if persisted in, might wreck the organization before it is formed. By all the rules of reason, Russia needs peace and breathing spell more than any other of the United Nations. Her people have paid a heavy price for vic- tory in lives and incapacity and exhauS- tion. Fierce fighting, the scorched-earth policy of defense and German retaliation have done great damage to her most populous and industrially developed re- gionS.
 If any country needs friendship, help and a quiet atmosphere for economic convalescene, it is Russia. Yet, by her governments stubborn defense of de- structive proposal she is alienating many would-be friends and causing a split among the Big Five. Why? The most plausible conjecture is that the Russian position reflects an old, deep-seated fear fear of Winston Churchill, frank op- ponent of the philosophy of communism; fear of the United States, which belatedly recognized the Soviet Union under an administration now passed into history; Of 0tl in1o ol nI g. sia around in the old League when her government was suspect, unstable and unpopular. All these are political, bal ance-of-power fears which seem to fall within the sphere of temporary advan- tage. They ignore the original purpose of the San Francisco conference, which was to draft at least the first form of lasting charter to guarantee peace that should endure beyond the life span of Mr. Stalin, MT. Churchill, and other heads of government
 World peace is too heavy a respon- sibility to assign to the mortal, fallible men who happen to be the chiefs of the worlds five great states. Leaders die and governments change and power shifts from one nation to another What is wanted from San Francisco is a char ter which will come nearest to guaran teeing the peace under good world gov- ernments and bad, a charter based on justice, not power. What is wanted is peace mechanism to work for the benefit of the anonymous millions who fight, suffer and die in the worlds wars and who pay for them. These are the people for whom the world peace plan was de- signed. And these are the people who seem to be remembered less and less in the diplomatic vacuum by the Golden Gate

tiful gesture of devotion that a great Christian made to the sacred- ness of his work
 In this case the work happened to be the designing of House of God. But all work is noble; and how must better life would be if men could look upon it's everyday task as sacred duties toward which they must maintain a revent devotion It lightens the drudgery of housework when women realize that this hum ble service results in happy home for their loved ones. When men look upon businss as means of serving God, or practice a profession with deep sense of responsibility to the Most High they get real hap piness out of their work and do a real service to the world.

Death of a Rumor

Admiral Nimitz has dispatched with frankness and finality the silly but per sistent rumor that the United States wants no help from the British Fleet in our "private war" in the Pacific. As "a person of some responsibility in the Pa cific," to quote his own words, the Pacific Fleets cOmmander-in-chief has assured Britain that her help is needed and vel comed
 It is remarkable that anyone should have believed the insulting suggestion that our government or the chiefs of it's armed forces would sacrifice lives and prolong the war for reasons of politics or jealousy.
 But so many Americans and English men did that Admiral Ninitz was forced to take cognizance of the rumor and kill it. Let us hope that no one will feel called upon to attempt any resuscitation.

BRADY BABIES IN THE
 SERVICES

Every little while some proud father or mother tells me his or her son, fighting in Germany, Italy or the Pacific is Brady baby-and once in a while the Brady Baby proves to have joined the Wacs. Waves. Spars or the Marines. You can still get the Brady Baby Book (revised of course) if you con- template or have already gone into the baby business, by sending wrapped in paper but not rivitted, stapled, glued, or otherwise messed up, one negotiable dime and stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress. If you are an eXpectant father or mother, you had better inclose an extra dime and ask for the booklet Preparing for Mater nity" at the some time. If you are service man or service mans wife never mind the dimes, just ask for one or both booklets, and inclose stamped envelope bearing your address.
 It is no boast, I assure you, and indeed no particular credit to me, for after all, I'd be an awful flop if I couldn't put worth while 1n- struction and advice in such form after working at it all these years. But I do believe that these little pocket manuals "The Brady Baby Book and Preparing for Mater nity'' have done and are doing enough good in the world to war rant this suggestion:
 I give the booklet to service men and their wives without charge because I have been so imprissed by the sad circumstances in many such instances. But I wish we could offer these booklets, to all young parents or expectant parents on the. same terms. I'll contribute my share in the authorship and the subsequent health service t h a t grows out of the ideas in the book lets Who will contribute the cost of printing, handling and distribut- ing the booklets? There, 1t seems to me, is an opportunity for some one to do his bit of philanthropy with comparatively small amount of money.
 Some day, when America grows up, perhaps We shall teach in com mon school the things every young father and every young mother must know about the baby busi- ness, instead of leaving our chil- dren to pick up what secret and too often, false information they can get he'd of on the q. |.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Arsenic

Some members of our garden club use the term "arsenic of lead" and insist that is correct. believe it is arsenate of lead, which is so much used to deseroy pests on plants. (Mrs. P. O.
 Answer-You are right. Lead arsenate is the name of the insec- ticide Chronic arsenic poisoning may occur from ingestion of resi- dues of the spray left on green leafy vegetables and fruits. Ordin- ary washing does not certainly re- move such residues. Rinsing in dilute hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) solution in water removes the traces of arsenic, if any. Such solution is prepared by diluting a pint or pound of standard medicin- al Dilute Hydrochloric Acid Q0%) with a gallon Of water. Rinsing in running water removes all of the hydrochloric acid.
 Anglo -neurotic Edema
 My nine year old daughter has suffered much from giant hives, mostly in summer, after swimming, eating huckleberries. Have you any information or advice on this?

 Reference is Not Copy
 I'll be glad to receive a copy of Dr. Jolliffe's original statement which you quoted-you offered to send a copy on request.

GOOD READING
(NeW York Sun)

Into the Al pages of his annual
 report covering the year 1914, Dis trict Attorney Frank s. Hogan has packed lot of interesting informa- tion. There are, first of all, the statistics which show another new high record for the successful prosecution of crime-98.58 per cent of the 2,185 defendants on felony indictments were convicted. There are summaries of the work done by the new Youth Part of the Court
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-09

of General Sessions, of what the rackets, frauds and other special bureaus have done, and of the strides made by MT. Hogan's spec ial weapon in the war on delin- quency, the Youth Counsel Bureau. There are enough resumes of the more spectacular cases in numerous crime categories to satisfy the most avid detective story addict. It all makes good reading for New York CTS; the better because implicit in it is the assurance that their most congested county, the heart of their greater city, has prosecutor who conducts his office as nonpolitical agency to combat all types of crime. MT. Hogan would be the last to claim that New York is free from all lawlessness, but he deserves no small amount of credit for the fact that it is as clean as it is
