THE many legislative differences
4 between city and farm factions
are both understandable and more
or less inevitable. That is because
of the frequently existing natural
conflict of urban and rural interests.
However, the current determine
ton of rural legislators at Lansing to
repudiate war time and put the state
back on "slow time" looks discoH
agingly like plain stubbornness.
Upstate legislators have pre-
sented no valid arguments to support
their insistence that Michigan fall
out of step with the rest of the nation
in the matter of war time.
THEY resort to the hazy conten-
Il ton that war time is inconvenient
to farmers. They say it makes the
farmers do most of their work in the
dark and that it annoys cows, &C
customed to be MIXED an hour later
than they are being MIXED now.
Such reasoning is stupid and I'm.
realistic.
There is nothing to prevent farm
ers beginning their daily schedule an
hour later than at present.
We appreciate that war time does
impose inconvenience upon them, but
they should remember that it works
the same inconvenience upon most
city jewellers.
THEY should remember that it is

A PROBABLE record for bureau
"A cratic bungling was attained last
Friday when the War Production
Board hauled off with its bewildering
batch of orders and counter orders,
first withdrawing entirely, then par

Detroit war plants and finally can
ceiling all the orders.
Before Detroit industries had re-
ceived the ultimate directive restor-
ing gas consumption completely, it
had cost more than 10000 man hours
of war work, upwards of half a mil

industries.
Farmers know these things but
obstinately ignore them.
And their representatives in the
Legislature are doing their bidding
with a contemptuous indifference to
the welfare of Michigan war indus
tries.

legislators will jam through slow

THEY are Boosting that after they
l. have passed it Gov. Kelly had
best sign it if he knows what's good
for him because "they elected him. "
Here is an arrogant and direct
challenge.
Gov. Kelly ought to meet it
equally directly.
The governor is cognlzanC OF The
confusion in war industries that
would follow Michigan's discarding
war time. He knows how it would
tangle up freight shipments of war
materials from Michigan. He knows
how it would arbitrarily slow war
production, and he knows that if
Michigan makes this ill-advised move
it may have a national impact.
He is the war governor of the
most important war production state
in the nation.
He should veto the "slow time"
bill-promptly and without equivoca-
ton.

NO MATTER what Henry A. Wallaee's future
~ official position in this country may be his
speech at the dinner given to him in New York by
the Union for Democratic Action ("action" in

That speech also gives the country notice that

THE continuous use of the staggering /, Me
l. and MY by him is symptomatic of totaltarian
complex.
By the reiterated zoe he meant all those
groups, including the vestiges of the old Demo-
cratic party, that will henceforth part with all
American traditions and tolloaO htm-the 'mes-
siah" of preetarian socialism in the u. S. A. and
his own brand of gobaunacy abroad
With few changes-keeping the personal pro-
nouns intact-this speech of Wallace's could have
been delivered by Adolf Hitler Nieolai Lenin or
Benito Mussolni on or before their ascension
to power
For it is the UN-AMERICAN speech of man
drunk with the idea that he has been designated
by destiny to conquer the world-lcih promises
TO BEGIN WITH
TT IS speech that from beginnngto end because
i of its Observation-Disclosures doctrine of the
divinity of the state with some cunning political
red behring's laid down for the business In
terests') could be read with profound satisfaction
in the Kremlin or wherever totalitarian doctrines
have hold on the popular imagination.
- Wallace in this speech demanded "dt or
nothing"
Indeed throughout the address there is not
single note of compromise.
That is the outstanding characteristic of the
psychology of the fanatical-minded.
1t carries the accent of a Hitler-as nut"
to speak in common parlance.
The egomaniac is in full swing in the speech
when he says that Senator Bailey, chairman of the
commerce committee "knows that senatorial re-
lection will ENHANCE MY PERSONAL
PRESTIGE"
Again:
THE measure of the power of this OCTOPUS
is the extraordinary attack which is going on
against ME right now
HERE is the delusion that all who oppose his
II state socialistic program take the form of an
octopus which would be the shape of 100000
Americans who voted against Wallace last
November.
Those who do not agree with this messiah"
from Iowa are either "Fascists" or "octopuseS."
Here, too, is the egomaniac who "incarnates"
himself as the spokesman for millions Of Ameri
cans:
what these people (the octopuses) don't
realize is that in fighting ME they are fighting
you and millions like you"
This whole extraordinary speech pululates
with these egomanacal "messianic' overtones,
undertones and buge blasts.
America may we'll fear this man Wallace.
He is, psychologicaly, our first totalitarian
product.
He is danger to our American way in any
office, for he has brought the worst aspects of
Europe today to our political and economic life.

FAIR Play
TO THE EDITOR:

III THE EDITOR:
IN THE Detroit Times there
L was a picture OF a woman in
the traffic court on a charge OF
negligent homicide. The caption
of the picture was in large type:
Woman Driver in Court.
On the same page was a pic
ture OF man who, while driv-
ing a bus, had struck and killed
a man. The caption OF this
picture was in small type: Traf-
fic Injuries Fatal to Two.
Why the discrimination? Why,
in the first mentioned case,
must the sex of the driver be
so singled out for criticism. Wit
ness the caption - w ON a n
Driver.
Now, at this time. when
women have proven beyond all
possibility of doubt their capac-
ity for doing all types of work
which heretofore have been
thought of being OF a nature
which demanded the falsely be-
lieved superior dexterity of the
male sex, it seems very improper
for a newspaper 10 carp on this
obsurd and greatly disproved
criticism.
Especially when this same
newspaper has recently pub
lished articles urging women TO
drive army trucks to eastern
ports of embarkation.
Isn't it about time to lay the
ghost of this type of enormously
conceived masculine humor? I
assure you it is not appreciated
by the women.

Room of Inlaid Wood
Creates Optical Illusion

A small room that has to b.
touched as we'll as seen to be be-
lieved is on exhibition in the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art in New
York, says Golfers. Acquired
from a 15th-century Italian pal
ace, it's four walls contain IL
wooden cupboards whose open
doors reveal on the shelves about
100 objects, including an hour
glass, a celestial globe, books and
musical instruments. The wall
space around the cupboards is
paneled, and benches line the
sides of the room.
However, it is all an optical IL
fusion, a fiat surface on which the
uncanny perspective and shadows
are produced by inlays of some
500,000 pieces of wood in a vast
variety of shapes and colors. So
convincing is the three-dimen-
sional effect that several visitors
have attempted to sit on the
benches.

Decomposition Will
Paw Good Dividends

Two or three turnings, as this
process is commonly called, will
usually give compost of satisfac-
tory fineness and composition. Com
post may aid in growing plants,
but it should not be considered as a
fertilizer. It is most valuable for
improving the physical condition Of
the soil, filling it with organic mat
ter. It is helpful for growing seed
lings, for transplanting, for cover
ing rows Of small seeds, for working
into the soil that is heavy with clay,
or unusually sandy, and it is desir-
able to apply more Of it as top
dressing Immediately after seedlings
to prevent crust formation and to
help keep the soil moist and spongy.
The compost pile is well worth the
effort of any gardener, who expects
to till the same plot of ground for
several seasons.
Much has been said and writ
ten about scientific farming and
scientific gardening. Farming
and gardening are essentially
arts, not sciences. Much can be
learned about gardening and
farming, too, by the facts
brought to light In the re-
searches Of scientists all over
the country.
After reading all that has been
written, gardening must be learned
as other arts are learned by prac-
tice and experience, preferably I'M
der the guidance of someone who
has already acquired the necessary
skill and judgment.
In the war against noxious weeds,
chemistry offers a new weapon that
opens an entirely new approach to
environmental pest control in and
around orchards and fields. The
new material, the active ingredient
of which is ammonium sulfamate,
has been found to be exceptional
ly efficient in the destruction of I'M
desirable weeds.
It has also been used successfully
in recent experiments at the New
Hampshire experiment station to kill
the common barberry, the alternate
or overwintering host of black stem
rust.

Care must be taken that cultiva-

ing the vegetable plant roots that lie

some opinions, there is little to be
gained by hoeing or cultivating the

a former belief that frequent shallow
cultivation during periods of drouth
