GARDENS NEEDED IN 1946

Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
has sent to each State Governor the
following telegram. 1t tells compactly
why gardeners should renew their
efforts in 1916 and try hard to equal
or surpass the excellent Victory Car
den records of the war years:
President Truman has strongly
urged vigorous home gardening pro-
gram in 1916 in view of worldwide
food shortage. Foods from rural and
urban gardens can sustitute for foods
needed for shipment abroad and help
maintain good diets at home. Victory
Garden program was outstanding in
production and preservation of mil
lions of tons of food. There is every
need to make this years program as
successful. May we suggest, there
fore, tkat you appeal to all home gar
deners."

One hundred fifty American lead
ers of education, religion, labor anG
agriculture have Joined in an appeal
to President Truman mot to take am
step in the opposite direction from
collective security through world or
ganization" by enacting compulsory
military training in peacetime. Tht
appeal was headed by the National
Council Against CONSUMPTION, Phila-
delphia, which announces that it is a
"non-pacifiist organization" Peace
time conscription, the signers say
threatens UNO and all efforts toward
world cooperation; provokes nations
into competitive ornaments and hos
tile camps; follows the disastrous
pattern of European militarism; is
based on obsolete notions of warfare
and has little relevance to the atomic
age; regiments youth and exposes
them to the dangers of barracks life
at a crucial age; and would establish
'an undemocratic system aimed at
wnquestionable obedience to military
authority, and constitute a totalitar-
ian threat to religion, education, la
Dor and business"

TIMBER MARKING SERVICE

On the recommendation of State
Forester Joseph F. Kaylor, the Com
mission of State Forests and Parks
has established a plan under which,
the timber marking service provided
by the State Forester may be made
available to landowners throughout
Maryland.
For the first 25 acres marked, no
charge will be made. For acreage in
excess of that figure, the charge will
be $500 per day. Applications for
the marking service, Kaylor says,
have been received in steadily mount
ing number, and the Department of
State Forests and Parks is hard
pressed to handle them with reason
able promptness. The cost of mark
ing, which is done by technically
trained foresters in the employ of
the department, has also shown
marked increase and the $500 per
day charge is necessary to defray in
part the expense entailed by this
state-sponsored service. In every case
Kaylor declares, where merchantable
timber is marked, the owner receives
the maximum money returns from
his tree crop, while the land is left in
shape to produce successive timber
crops in the future.

FEED SHORTAGE THREATENED

UNLESS some bold and effective
action is taken Immediately by the
Government, the feed deficit area In
the East could experience feed
famine" J, f. Givens, executive vice
president of Cooperative Mills, Balti-
more, declared at the grain shortage
hearings held in Washington several
days ago by the House Food Investi-
eating Committee. Cooperative Mills
is a subsidiary of Southern States
Cooperative.
Mr. Givens stated that feed condi-
tions ia this area are steadily getting
worse Ingredient supplies at feed
plants are being rapidly exhausted.
Purchases cannot be made to
cover requirements" he said. BOX
car shortages make delivery sched-
ules uncertain. Inventories of mixed
feeds in warehouses and on farms are
at an all-time low. ANY semblance of
an equitable distribution of feed sup
plies has been destroyed"
ALLEGATIONS of feed to Southern
States patrons have been reduced by
40 per cent since August. Feed for
mulas have been changed to conserve
critically short feed ingredients.
However. the formulas now being
used are emergency formulas design
ed only to meet present chaotic con-
ditions.
Further cuts in allotments are
inevitable and additional reductions
in feed quality must come unless
some action is taken to assure farm
ers in the East their share of the ma
tion's feedstuffs," Givens said.

Traceable To Strikes

sDon't fall for big, big shouting,
promoted in official circles in Wash
ington that business is getting back
to normal. There has been a business
setback created by the strikes, and
while some settlements have been
made o.her new strikes are being un-
wrapped.
The Government has promoted
wage increases. The OPA is still lead
ing the procession and keeping tough
on prices. That doesn't balance. 1t is
a half way scheme that makes full
reconversion impossible. Tie big
breakdown started with an unreason
able strike against General Motors.
Settlement of that long struggle does
not guarantee production of automo-
biles sufficient to meet the demands
for many months to come. T.
The individual doesn't have to
look very far to find out for himself
that there is still business setback
right now and il will not recover i'm
a hurry. Number one problem is not
oil in Iran, snooty behavior in Argen-
tina, or foreign trade. The real prob
lem is to pull our own country out OF
the hole and get jobs and rehabilita-
tion for CT boys and civilians. The
Government is moving all too slow in
these matters.

FREE MEN WORKING TOGETHER

The experience farmers are now
getting through their own coopera-
tives is strengthening the spirit of
self-reliance which throughout our
national history has made the rural
element of our population a, bulwark
against attacks on our freedom. The
nation and the world today need the
example of free men working togeth-
er, in cooperation with a government
of their own choice, in undertakings
too big for them as individuals.

Just Keep The Harness On

White-hared and fair-haired Ber-
nard Baruch won the confidence of
his countrymen in World War l. That
is the reason why he is called an
"elder statesman" and is trusted by
eve, the people," He is rs years old
and he has been drafted by President
Truman to help harness atomic ,ner-
gy for peace.
Despite the fact that controversy
exists in Washington over the issue
of civilian VS.. military control of
atomic energy, there is real cause to
fear the atomic bomb. There is no
question but what the United States
Government distrusts Soviet Russia
Under ordinary circumstances the
way to handle the atomic energy
question would be to lock it up
and keep the secret key. The logic of
this conclusion is found in the fact
that there is no probability, or possi-
bility, that the United States will
ever start foreign war. The posses
sion of the atomic secret by the USA
SHOULD remain weapon of defense
nothing else.
