ROADSIDE TREE PLANTING

All appropriations for road build
ing and Improvement should auto
matically carry provisions for road
side tree planting. Had this been
done when good roads were inaugu-
rated in this country, we would now
have a most beautiful country side,
comfort in travel and great enhance
ment in property values. The cost of
such program, considering the
amounts spent on our road systems
would be so insignificant and the ul-
innate results so desirable that it is
hard to believe we have not taken
full advantage of this wonderful
opportunity. Trees improve with the
years and furnish real permanent
improvement. Your support and en-
couragement of this idea would be
most helpful

HOW GOES THE NATION?
Ry Il IL Inuac

Washington, d. c., June 1.-THE
eastern section of the United States
has been headquarters for confusion,
administration problems, solutions of
manpower and housing and every
thing else that concerns the United
States, and heaven and hell for the
past four years.
Tie Southern States have troubles
and problems, some of which have
been run through the wringer by
their Southern States Council, which
goes on record as opposing wide
spread change that may affect ad
versely the South's industrial econo-
my. That industrial economy" is
also racial problem which TIE deep
South tells the North and the West
to "just keep your hands off our
affairs between the Whites and the
Negroes cause you all don't know
nothin' about our business; we grow
cotton and cane and grain and every
thing else that's good to eat and
we're coming to the front in all kinds
VI iuS anu luuu0ti idl
affairs-so, just watch us grow!"
The Central and Mid Western
States have done so muck towards
winning the war, and producing ma
terials in abundance that they face
tremendous problems in reconver-
sion. They have, as always, the
know how
The Pacific States have carried tire
mendous burdens of responsibility
because of their close connections tc
the war in the Pacific. War produc-
ton and every kind of industrial ac-
tivity has kept things booming il
the entire West. And what are We
going to do about it? Don't worry
tkey always meet all changes and ge
on top!

IT'S TEAMWORK THAT COUNTS

Right on the HEELS of the recent
had received the National Safety
Councils special wartime safety
award for the third consecutive year
comes the news that the Corporation
has been approved by the several
committees o fthe U. S. Department
of Agriculture and the state agricul-
tural colleges as sponsor of the 1945
National Farm Safety Contest.
This looks like a good team. Down
the years industry and agriculture
lave gone hand in hand and have
shown that one can't function Al
peak efficiency withont the coopera
ton and productive efforts OF the
other. So if industry can now give q
few pointers to the National 4-H
Club members ON lessons learned i'll
safety during the wars high-pres-
sured mass production it seems only
appropriate that this aid should come
from corporation which has main
tanned one of the nations highest
safety standards.
Many of the prizes in this years
contest are to be war bonds. Here il
another good deal. A war bond jus.
for staying healthy, being careful
and extending cooperative hand
shoGld be big incentive for all All
members as well as going far toward
promoting higher rural safety stan
dards.

CONSUMPTION

Hearings on Peace time Conscrip-
ton are being held in Washington
this week and next to help decide
whether this country shall adopt
program used for many years by
some other nations we all know
something about.
Lined up in favor of it are the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps, rep
resentatives of Veterans organiza-
tions, some officials of the State De-
partment, Editors and college pres
idents While opposing it are three
large educational organizations, the
Federal Council of Churches, and
many different church organizations
Labor groups, Farm groups, National
Woman's Christian Temperance I'M
ion, National Association for the
Advancement OF the Colored people
and many others.
Let us remember the part mill
tarism played in putting Japan where
it is today, and how Germany de-
pended on her military strength to
iubdue the world. Would we change
places with them now?
Nations do not learn the ways of
peace by flashing weapons of war in
each others faces and let us never
forget that both the present war and
the last World war have been fought
to overcome domination by force.
1t is true we Need to be Ready"
but may we not interpret that as the
great Boy Scout organization does
DE ready to live to help others to live
not to destroy. We must learn to live
together if we would build a betted
world, and not in fear and suspicion
of others.

LARGER FOOD SUPPLY IS
URGENTLY NEEDED

If you can add something to the
home food supply, either by growing
or conserving more food, it is urgent
ly needed, according to Dr.. 7. B. Sy-
mons, director of the University of
Maryland extension service.
The home food supply is so critical
he states, that President Truman has
appointed a Director of Home Food
Supply and series of regional con
ferences are being held throughout
the country to encourage all who can
to produce and conserve food. A
statewide effort in Maryland was
launched at a meeting in Baltimore
on June 4, and similar meetings will
be held in the counties.
While victory gardens are expect
ed to add materially to the food sup
ply, it is urged that every other
means possible should be employed,
including increased commercial pro-
duction where conditions permit, and
greater saving and preservation of
food products.
Almost every farm has a garden,
Dr.. Symons says, but many of them
might grow at least little more to
help make up for those who cannot
produce their own food. Those living
in urban and suburban areas who
have any knowledge of, or experience
in, gardening are urged to make ev-
cry effort to produce food for their
families.
There is still time ia plant good
garden and grow a lot of food, DR..
Symons declares. Because of the cool
weather that has prevailed. he said,
the main vegetables, if planted in tie
next ten days, can be expected to do
better than those planted a month
ago. Leafy vegetables. such as let
tuce and kale, and also potatoes, can
be planted until fall.

COUNTY AGENT WARNS
FARMERS

County Agent Miller warns all
farmers to inspect their fields of
small grain, especially barley, for the
presence of army worms and to be
ready to apply control measures at
their first appearance. THIS insect
has been reported to be causing dam
age in barley paintings in the south
ern part of Cecil County.
The army worm is about TWO inch
es long and dark olive green in color
when full grown with white stripes
ON the side and down the middle of
the back. The white stripes are bOr-
dered by darker stripes. Il present
n small numbers the insecrs usually
hide during the day, but when iii ar
l.ios, they remain feeding through
out the twenty-four hoIrs. The
worms feed on practically all 81 ASSES
small grain and corn. They feed in a
field until most of the succulent
growth is destroyed and viii, then
move in an army to an adjoining
field with fresh food supply. Some
times large numbers can be destroy
ed during this migration from field
to field by blowing fuIrrOw between
the fields and dragging a log back
and forth in the furrow to crush the
worms as they pass.
DR.. Ernest NJ Cory, State Entomo-
logist, says that the poison bran
mash is by far the best method of
control if it is broadcast in advance
of the army or, if it is possible, to
cut the crop in the infested field and
then scatter the poison bait. The re-
commended practice for making poi
son bait and its use consists of mix
ing thoroughly 2 lbs. of Paris green
or lbs. of calcium arsenate in SO III
of bran. When thoroughly mixed, j
should be wet with about six gall
Ions of water. This should be worked
thoroughly into the bran, and when
completed, the mixture should be
crumbly but not sloppy. The poison
bait should be broadcast over the
fields in the evening at the rate ct
20 lbs. per acres or it may be spread
around the edge of and infested field
from which TIE worms are about
ready to migrate to another crop.
The poison bait is applied in the ev-
ening as the worms feed mostly at
the night and it prolongs the active
life of the bait, the poison retaining
it's attractiveness as long as it re-
mains moist. If a second application
is necessary, it should also be spread
around in the evening.
Small amounts of bait may be
mada by mixing lbs. of bran, n III
Paris green or ~ Id. calcium arsen-
ate and qts. of water. Be careful
in handling, using or storing poison
bait.

PAPER SHORTAGE

Tie paper shortage is agitating
publishers and the reading public
alike. With the paper shortage acute
and no increase in production in
sight until after the war, the dailies,
as well as the weekly and the month
ly magazines have been forced to
curtail size and shorten items
Is there remedy for this situa-
ton before the wars end? There is
no 100 per cent remedy, but there is
a partial remedy. For one thing,
people in the know in Washington
are convinced there is considerably
more paper work in the various gov
eminent departments than is neces-
sary. Then there is anotehr leak, but
it is not in the Government. Adver-
Using firms which handle accounts
for manufacturing and retail con-
Germs continue to circularize on a
sacle almost as extensive as in peace
time, yet it is well-known fact that
a large percentage of these circulars
gok into the wastebasket The payoff
fDH the firms sending them out comes
in whatever orders may be produced
from the few circulars that are read
and favorably acted upon.
A cause of considerable irritation
to the newspaper reader is the Excess
sive amount of advertising carried
in proportion to the news. Often the
articl easdvertised are not to be OBJ
tanned by would be purchasers, and
store managers and owners reply by
saying that they have to advertise
to keep their names before the pub
lie in expectancy of the postwar re-
vival. Papers in some instances have
prorated their available advertising
space and this, of course, cnrtails
the abuses complained Of. It is one
more problem in the distribution of
scarce goods and services.

FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN
CONSIDER POSTWAR PROBLEMS

Agriculture cannot continue sue
cessfully on basis of full production
without the aid of industry, DR.. T.
B. Symons, director of the University
Of Maryland Extension Service, told
a group of farmers and businessmen
at Farm and Industry Conference
in Hagerstown, Md, on May %.
This meeting, which was attended
ty approximately so farm leaders
and a similar number of business
men, was one of series being held
20 obtain a closer understanding be-
tween TIE two groups in meeting post
war problems and conditions.
In sounding the keynote for agri-
culture, DR.. Symons stressed that
distribution is the greatest single
problem, particularly in the fresh
fruit and vegetable fields. In the
modern handling of farm products,
he said, processing, transportation,
refrigeration and storage, and mer-
chandising have ali become impor-
tant factors, and weakness OF at
tempts to extract undue profits for
the service rendered in any one of
these factors may constitute serious
0ottleneck. 1t may be responsible for
waste OF, food because it fails to reach
the consumers who are in need of it,
or increase the cost to the point tLat
it limits sales regardless of adequate
supplies at the source.
The conference was sponsored by
the National Association of Manu-
facturers. the University of Maryland
College of Agriculture, the Farm
Bureau, Grange, and Hagersotwn
Chamber of Commerce.

AUTO ATTACHMENTS AND
ECONONIIZERS

In response to an inquiry by the
Keystone Automobile Club concern
ing the value of so-called 'vacuuma-
tic" attachments or "economizers, I"
the National Bureau of Standards
replied that such devices are lacking
in TIE advantages claimed by their
promoters.
Tests by the Bureau show they do
not give more miles to a gallon of
gasoline, assure faster pickup or
give quicker starting. A bulletin has
been issued by the Bureau discredit-
ing such devices.

A Forward Step

The appointment of Judge Lewis
Schwellenbach as Secretary of Labor
is certainly move in the right di.
rection, especially because the Presi.
dent expects him to exercise full au-
thority over the affairs of the De-
partment.
The retiring Secretary of Labor
Miss Frances Perkins, has been able
to express her views during recent
years. She has been considered rath-
er sound. She won general approval
and sympathy-of Republicans in
Congress. Her resignation was held
up by President Roosevelt for several
years. She believed it her duty to
stand by ker Chief, even while she
was prevented from carrying out her
own policies, while one Administra-
ton group after another split the au-
thority of the Department over labor
issues. First, it was the National La
Dor Relations Act. then the Concilia-
ton Service, the National Mediation
Board, the Wage and Hour Public
Contracts Division, and whole strings
of special ''fixers" for every occasion.
What could the poor girl do?" She
finally succeeded in getting a release
from President Truman. Hail Fran
ces! Bye, bye!

NATIONAL EDUCATION

Tke Commercial Dispatch OF Co
lumbus, Miss, exposes the evils
which are likely to affect the public
schools of the country, if any of the
bills for federal financial aid for edu-
cation should pass the Congress of
the United States and be signed by
the President, and thus become law.
The Dispatch says:
The National Education Associa-
ton, supported by some schoolspeople
in the various states, is making a
drive for federal aid for the public
and common schools of the states.
It will be sad day when the
states permit the Federal Govern
ment to come into and control their
school systems.
So-called federal laid" leads in
evitably to federal control"
The Federal Government general
ly, or eventually at least, controls,
dictates and manages what it puts
it's money into.
1t is easy to understand tkis, de-
spite the fact that the original bill
would specifically prohibit federal
control of state schools.
1t is fallacy, and anyone who UNI
derstands federal bureaucracy can
see it.
The proposal now is to appropriate
$300,O0O,00O to the states.
This would be just start, as even
the proponents admit.
With more and more money appro-
priated the federal club would grow
to monstrous size.
And the states would be helpless.
1t works this way:
The state school system would be-
come so dependent on federal funds
that it could not possibly live alone
in the manner it had become accus
toned to.
Then the Federal Government
would impose and dictate its policies
foEethe schools should attend
them, who should teach, and how
they should be managed.
States would be told precisel!
what ito do, and if state failed tt
toe the mark, money would be with
held.
The states that would attempt tt
assert fheir independence of action
if any such rugged virtue is then lef
in any states, would be helpless ant
impotent.
1t is utter fallacy to argue tina
the states could build up vas
school system-with federal funds
based on top-heavy standards impos
ed by lot of crack-pot educators
and then attempt to assert any sor
of independence in the management
of their schools.
1t is time to call ahlt to the evel
increasing Capitalization and contro
of power and authority over The
states in Washington.
1t can only lead to a breakdown
of democratic, local government
principles on which this Republic
was founded.
Certainly the common or public
schools should be protected above al
else against the invasion of State
rights, which today has grown to al
alarming extent.

Truman Administration

president Truman has met all eX-
pectations in bringing men togeth-
err"
Newspaper men and Congressman
have been in the habit of disputing
statements and announcements from
the White House for many years be-
cause of the many frequent changes
and shifts in Administrations and
policies. But to show that there is a
determination on the part of Presi-
dent Truman to stick to his text is
shown in little item ON the front
page of Washington newspaper a
few mornings ago.
asked about the reports that
Stettinius will be replaced. the Pres
ident told press conference that he
could not make his position any
palmer than at the previous press
conference. Then, he was asked
whether he had any plans to name a
new Secretary of State and replied
with fat no."
The newspaper reporters have
been used to rumors of changes in
the Administration for a dozen years,
so it seemed perfectly natural for
them to inquire whether Truman in
tends to replace Secretary Stettinius
When the President said mo-, and
indicated that Stettinius had made
an entirely satisfactory record in the
State Department, the reporters knew
that President Truman meant just
exactly what he said.
