The slick hens with yellow legs and smooth

poultry meat. They should be culled out of your
flock to make room for mature, ready-to-lay
pullets now on the range. As it doesn't pay to sell
laying hens, try to examine all individuals in your
flock carefully. A red comb and moist, expanded
vent are sure signs of layer. IF the vent is dry,
puckered and yellow, you may be certain that
hen has stopped laying for some time.

Reclaim CropIands
with Wheatgrass

Ranchers who have need of extra grass can often
bring abandoned croplands back into production
with crested wheatgrass. In tests conducted by
the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station,
in cooperation with ranchers, and reported by
Clinton H. Wasser, good stands of crested wheat
grass established on abandoned croplands in
northeastern Colorado have supported as much
stock per uo to four acres of good native sod
will in the spring and early summer. And it
makes pasture two or three weeks earlier in the
spring, and Later in the fall when the moisture
is good.
Time to Reseed: September is good time to
reseed lands to either crested or western wheat
grass. The job may also be done in the late fall
early spring. For best results, try six to eight
pounds of seed per acre drilled into grain, sudan,
sorghum, nillet or weed stubble. Land badly
grown up to perennial weeds may first require
heavy discing or even blowing before seeding.

Speaking of Things Inconceivable

Speaking of the job-freeze bill in Con- gress, A. F. of L. President William Green said, Tt is inconceivable that having reached g war stage where it is clearly evident that the German armies are de- cisively defeated, Congress would even consider passage of bill which smackS of slavery"
 We think MT. Green would admit that it is inconceivable that General Eisen- hover should issue some such manifesto as this: With the evident defeat of the German armies I am freeing all soldiers who wish to leave from the slavery which requires them to risk their lives for Sub- standard wages. We shall use only volun- teers to complete the defeat of Germany and prosecute the war against Japan"
 We had the Germans evidently defeat ed" last summer. Remember, MT. Green? At that time there was bolt from war industries to peacetime jobs. And the Army and Navy paid for it. The Army and Navy aren't letting down. Neither are the Japs. They're preparing for 20 years war.

Nazi Arithmetic

In his Washington column, Peter EdSon reports that the OWL wrestling with the problem of re-educating Ger many, thinks that perhaps some teachers who functioned under the Nazi regime might be trusted to teach such harmless subjects as arithmetic.
 Our advice to OWI would be to think twice before considering any subject harmless in Nazi hands. We recall few of Hitler'S mathematical formulas. There was divide and conquer, of course And the unusual teaching, forcibly impressed upon his own people and those of occu- pied countries, that the whole Reich was not equal to, but greater than, the sum of it's parts.
 We recall, too, that Hitler put consider able stress upon multiplication and it's product of cannon fodder, but sought to confine the course to those of "pure Aryan stock. There must be other ex- amples that elude us at the moment. But these are enough to convince us that a former Nazi schoolmaster, unless care fully watched, could somehow contrive to add two and two and come out with new scheme of German world domination.

Bernard Baruch seems to top all other Elder Statesmen for the reason that he is as Independent as a hog on ice." No one else could go to London and draw the American CTS around him in Hyde Park SxlG give notice that the "big Boys" must be watched and made to behave-and get away with the challenge. "Bernies" familiarity with national and interna- tional economy has been generally rec ognized during the past 25 years. He was one of Wilson's best men in the first World War. Baruch has recalled the collapse of 1921, and our failure to keep the bit in Uncle Sams teeth. He says we will have wave of prosperity after the war for five or seven years, and that we will remain on the up-and-up if we mind our p's and as. What happens after those five or seven years depends on the peace the big boys are preparing for us now," warns the wizard, who is about the only civilian able to convince Church ill and Truman of their faults and omiS- sionS.

German Dream World

A captured Nazi official said to an American questioner: "You can't i'm agine or understand the German people. They are living in completely different world, one of heroism and romanticism."
 Recent events seem to bear him out. The Germans countered the loss of the Ruhr by forming an underground organ ization, the Werewolves. And one of the new underground's first acts seems to have been the composition and broad cast of an official song, performed by a woman calling herself Lilly the Were wolf"
 The Germans have long confounded their analysts by the mixture of cold logic, stolidity, cruelty and sentimen- tality in their national character. Now the products of their science are nearly exhausted. Logic should tell them their fight is hopeless. But they seem now to be retiring into stubborn confusion of Wagner and Lilly the Werewolf" Their conception of romantic heroism has out lived their logic.
 It will cost them dearly before they are disenchanted. But unhappily, it will cost the Allies dearly, too

A Thought for Today
The Peaceful Okinawans

War, as Hitler or Mussolini or some body once remarked, is the natural state of man. Homo SapienS ct belligeranS is never happy for any length of time unless he is belaboring his fellow being with mace, longbow, poinard, tommy gun, or whatever the lethal weapon of the mo- ment may be.
 Maybe SO. But the theory didn't work out for the JapS on Okinawa - which must have been bit of disappointment to the bucktoothed sons of heaven, who are great drumbeaters for the glorious ineWtability of war.
 You probably have read that the Japs, apparently expecting the American light ming to strike elsewhere, left OkiraWa'S defense largely up to the home guard, reinforced and led by comparatively small force of trained troops. It seems they gave most of the ablebodied Okina- vans rifle, and trusted in their instirc- tive bellicosity to repulse the invaders
 Their defense was something new in the ancient annals of war, at that. Reporters on the scene tell us that though the Okinawans didn't know how to fight, they were equally ignorant of that less pub licized but equally important branch Of tactics known as surrender. So they just holed up in caves and had to be dug out.
 This, as we have intimated, must have surprised the Japs. And they must have been equally disappointed in what ap- pears to have been a complete unwilling ness on the part of the Okinawans to de- fend the Japanese way of life, or Asia for the Asiatics. But from what Americans have learned of these peoples history, the unwillingness will cause no surprise over here.
 It appears that the Japs treated the OkinawanS somewhat worse than John Steinbeck's Okies were treated in "The Grapes of Wrath" Although the Qkina- vans are blood brothers of the JapS, these country relations from the islands seem to have gotten thorough kicking around for long time.
 The Japs have made the same mistake with other Asiatics. The most repre- hensible example, of course, was their treatment of the Filipinos. Hence even the most backward islander must know by now that the real slogan of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was Asia for the Japanese. We should imagine that most of the tears for the twilight of Asiatic Co-Prosperity is being shed in the Japanese home islands.

Government by Radio?

We have long enjoyed the distant con temptation of Mayor F. H. La Guardla'S conduct of New York City affairs. And the longer we contemplate it the more we wonder if both the mayor and the city aren't governed to some extent by haunting necessity familiar to most news papermen.
 That is the necessity of having so many words of news or comment prepared for public consumption by certain time. In short, a deadline. Mr. La Guardia is no newSpaperman. He doesn't like news papermen very much. That is why he abandoned press conferences some years ago and since has addressed most of his remarks to New York citizens in 3O- minute broadcast each Sunday afternoon on the city's own radio station.
 But he still is beset by the newspaper mans problem Thirty minutes a week of new material requires lot of words. We can Sympathize with MT. La Guardia In his problem of finding those words. But we can envy him his peculiar ad- vantage of making news of the colorful sort that the listeners and voters - obviously like. And MT. La Guardia is nothing if not colorful.
 His style ranges from the chatty to the tIlG1CI1Cd1. tdAC0 d1I 4AICACoU III e~AAy thing of possible civic significance. Peo- ple's diets and pleasures enlist his fath- erly concern, and generally some sug- gestions on how to change both. He goes in for everything from recipes to threats. And while the recipes are eco- nomical, the threats are likely to be ex- travagant examples of towering wrath. Let the Mayor hear of betting in Man. 1.o+fon hlack-marketinU in BrOOklVn poker-playing in the Bronx or post curfew revelry in Queens, and the tidings can call forth dire warnings and predic- tions that would be the envy of an old fnshioned evangelist. But thousands and maybe millions of New Workers seem to love this synthesis of sportscast, Sisters of the Skellet, MT. Anthony, Raymond Swing and Gang Busters which MT. La Guardia gives them in his Talks to the People" But we shall have to admit to skeptical feeling that some of MT. La Guardia's advice, indignation and cru eading might be born of the stern neces-

Senate, at which time the Ryan Traction interests attempt to put across "Blue-eyed Billy" Sheean as U. s. Senator from New York. (Senators were elected by the State Legislatures in those days.) However, Roosevelt led a little band of progressive Democrats and Republicans who fought the appointment and had majority of about three votes.
 At the height of the battle, however, Roosevelt said that a Senator named Charlie Cusack hade come to him to say that the mortgage on his farm was going to be foreclosed if he voted against Sheean.
 "Seneca County hadn't elect ed a Democrat since 1856," the resident said, land Charlie Cusack was a political miracle. He was about B years old, had
 a long beard, usually stained with tobacco juice. We investi- gated, found the mortgage was 8 good investment, and that the Ryan Traction interests had presSured the bank. So some us raised the money to pay off the mortgage.
 "Then we found that two others on our side were threat ened with mortgage foreclos- ures. So we paid them off.
 "Then one night, in the Ten Eyck Hotel" Roosevelt con- tinued, Charlie Cusack was sitting with couple of other legislators, drinking beer. At midnight the bar closed and one of them suggested that they go down to speakeasy. The three legislators were sit- ting there drinking beer with three girls on their knees when suddenly the place was pinch ed."
 The President, with 8 flare for description. got great kick out of telling the story. He omitted no details, telling how the legisla- tors were afraid of political re- actions in their own districts If their arrests appeared on the po- lice blotters.
 "We're legislators you can't arrest us," they urged.
 "The hell we can't" replied the police.
 Finally one of the legislators remarked that he knew Charlie Murphy. the head of Tammany, who in turn knew Pinkie Mo- Cabe, who controlled the police of Albany. So this legislator slip- ped out to phone Murphy. After an interval he came back.
 "Its OK, boys," he reported to Charlie Cusack and the other legislator. "I talked to Charlie Murphy and he talked to Pin- Ne McCabe. Pinkie says he'll call off the police. Everything's going to be OK. "But," he continued, there's one thing you've got to do in return, Charlie" And he turned to Senator Cusack. "You've got to vote for 'Blue-eyed' Billy Sheean."
 Well" drawled Charlie Cusack. according to the Presi- dent, I've been thinkin' this thing over. I'm B years old. Down in Seneca County they call me Uncle Charlie.' But I

figure that if they read I'm arrested in this kind of 8 house they'll send me back to AL bany the rest of my life. Bring on the police"
 Naturally, this was plant by the Ryan Traction interests and a phony arrest. Roosevelt won his first great liberal victory. He defeated Sheean for the Senate. That marked the beginning of the many battles he fought for liberal government up until the end, last week.
 FDR BELONGED TO WORLD Shortly before the end of his second term, Roosevelt, still silent as to his third term plans, was under heavy pressure to run again. Jimmy Roosevelt was then a member of the White House staff.
 Roosevelt called in a group of advisers, including Harry Hop- kins and his son Jimmy. and asked them to submit their reas- sons why they thought he should run. One of those present made a particularly eloquent plea. When the conference was over and the group filed out, Jimmy rushed up and said:
 "What are you trying to dO- You're trying to kill my father! No man can live through three terms i'm that job. You can't do this to him. We won't let you do this to him."

doubt II he naQ been m WaSn- ington a total of two months since Election Day. But people always felt that he was here, that he had his hands on things, and so the town seems empty.
 Even the guards around the public buildings, the folks who sit on the park benches, the elevate: operators, the taxi drivers, seem little lost. More than any other man, Roosevelt was their Presi- dent. They felt he was work ing for them. And he was. They know it will be hard for them to get another such friend.
 It is hard to write about Roosevelt now that he is dead. It was easy to write about him when he was living. He was vivid, colorful copy. And batting out one column 8 day, seven days a week for 13 years, have probably written more about him than any other man in America-sOme things he liked, some he didn't like, and some he criticized quite frankly in public.
 But not everything was writ ten. And here are some of the unWritten things remember about Franklin Roosevelt.
 FOR EMITTED ARSENALS
 have always thought that Roosevelt turned the tide of the European war by a daring move in the late spring of 1940, when France fell and 1t looked as if England was about to be invaded.
 The British had lost most of their arms at Dunquerque. Their arsenals were almost empty. Ours were none too full, but the President, in one bold stroke, emptied them. He knew that if he waited, Hitler would invade England. He knew what the consequences were to the United States if that happened.
 He knew also that if he went to Congress, it would debate pro and con for weeks, and the iso- lationists might defeat him. So he took the law into his own hands. Probaly he acted illegally. But he acted. And England was saved.
 HOW DEWEY GOT MAD
 have always thought also that Roosevelt won his fourth term campaign by 8 very smart piece of strategy which only he would have devised. He got Tom Dewey mad. He deliberately set out to get him mad.
 Dewey had been coasting along, making semi-New Deal speeches which were beginning to win a few votes away from Roosevelt. His Seattle speech on labor, his old-age pension speech at Los Angeles, were almost identical with FDR's own policies. There was not enough basic difference between the candidates for people to get out and vote. And the Gallup Poll told Roosevelt that if there was not heavy vote, he would lose.
 So at the Teamster's dinner, he deliberately set out to prod and poke Gov. Dewey and stir him into a rage. Dewey fell for the trap and at Oklahoma City, came back with 8 smashing speech attacking Roosevelt on everything. Republican lead- CTS were delighted. So was the President.
 From that time on, labor be-

lie, for instance, never remains a little lie. Like the man who brought the gypsy moth into the country thinking that from 1t he could spin artificial silk, so we use little lies at times hoping that from them we can spin some advantage to our. selves. The little filtration that be- gins with an arch look and a cheery word, the little speculations which begin when an employe 'borrows' from the moneys left in his trust. the little words which uttered in anger end in a feud to the divi- sion of families-these are examples of how little pests grow into vast afflictiohs.
