Cites Union Gains.
 Promising Outlook

BOSTON-John J. Murphy, Regional Director of Organiza- tion for New England, predicts "an era of peaceful prosperity with the workers strongly organ ized under the banner of the American Federation of Labor" :"
 Writing in the current issue of the 'sAmerican Federationist'' the A. F. of L.'s official magazine, in an article entitled ''Report from New England," Murphy stressed gains made in several plant cleo tions.
 We ran up a total of 7,235 votes to the CLOS 554" in the election at the Pratt and Whitney Company in Hartford, he declared, and pointed to two cases where the A. F. of L. had wrested control from the dual organ ization.
 Broken ''Promises''
 At the Fall River, Mass, plant of ,Firestone Rubber Company, Murphy said, the A. F. of L. ended 19- month tenure of C.I.O. control which was characterized broken promises" and which was terminated by means of an N.L.R.B. election.
 The CLOS attempt to absorb the 'twell-established local union of the United Textile Workers at San- ford, Maine;" was crushed with the help of the Maine A. F. of l.. i'm am election whose final vote was ,285 for the A. F. of l.. and 668 for the CLIO.
 He cited legislative achievements including the Connecticut State La Dor Relations Act, the Massachusetts boost of worlunen's compensation from 5000 to $220O weekly and Rhode Islands establishment of sick benefits amounting to SIS weekly for up to 16 weeks-tfie only state to have such provisions.
 Labor Classes
 He commended the labor classes at Harvard University, which he had visited, and to which organizations have sent their officials and represent atives for specialized field training.
 'sNow that the War Labor Board is dead, we find many New Eng land employers attempting to wreck unions," he said, turning to the organizations future problems. tsWhile these employers are de- handing the right of free enter prise, they are not willing that labor should have the companion right of free collective bargaining" He assured his readers, however, that labor was fully prepared to s'use its economic strength to main- tain the right of collective bar gaining"
 Turning to the brighter side, he de- clared, Happily, we also have the other type of employer,-the sort who have sincerely practiced collective bargaining for years and are carrying on in the same way-bargaining in good faith"
 New Plants
 Pointing out that several firms have acquired sites in New England for factories, he said that unionism's pros- poets were bright in the coming boom expected in plastics, construction and rubber industries
 In conclusion, he said, ssThe future of labor looks bright and promising in New England.'

1t is time now, say University
of Delaware horticulturists, to
seed "a cover crop in the garden or
on the farm plot where vegetables
have been or are still growing.
One of the best cover crop for this
purpose is domestic rye grass. It
may be seeded up to September Is
and should be at the rate of 20 to
25 pounds to the acre,or about one
half pound per 1000 square feet.
Cultivate the garden and seed. No
further cultivation is necessary.
Other cover crops which may be
planted are rye, barley or wheat
at the rate of one and half to
two bushels per acre. Crimson
clover is also recommended cover
crop. 1t should be seeded at the
rate of 20 pounds per acre when
used alone or ten pounds per acre
when mixed with domestic rye
grass or wheat. Crimson clover as
a cover crop should be seeded i'm
mediately. Cover crops may be
seeded between the rows of garden
crops growing in the garden now.
They will not interfer to any ex-
tent with the growth of the vege-
table crops. The one exception to
this is strawberries. Do not seed
cover crops between the rows of
Strawberries.

SEEDING SCHEDULE LISTED

SEEDING SCHEDULE LISTED
For high yields next year with
the grains that will be seeded this
fall, Delaware county agricultural
agents suggest that growers fol-
low the recommendation listed by
Claude E. Phillips, extension
agronomist. Phillips says that
winter oats should be planted be-
tween September Is and October
is. Barley should be planted from
September 25 to October 5. Wheat,
which is injured by the Hessian
Fly, should not be planted until
the "f1y-free date" This is after
October Is in Kent and Sussex
counties and October 10 in New
Castle county. Late paintings of
these grains results in winter kill
ing and poor stand next spring
with reduced yields. Fertilizers
recommended for these grains are
Alps in southern Delaware and
3-12-6 in the northern part of the
State. These should be applied at
the rate of 300 to 400 pounds to
the acre. Recommended varieties
are Fulwing or Lee Cold Proff
winter oats; Wong or Kentucky
No. 1, Barley. and Nittany (pa.
44) or Thorne wheat.

DON'T push down on the
leather between fingers-it puts
strain on the seams.
Leather Glove Manufacturers,
lists these easy and helpful hints
on using the accessory which
every well dressed woman owns:
When you put on gloves, simply
slip them on your hand. Don't
pull and tug at the wrist. Place
the fingers of your opposite hand
on the back of your glove with
the thumb under the palm and
slide the entire glove onto your
hand.
Don't poke the leather down
between your fingers. It will
cause unnecessary strain and
break the seams. Use your index
and third finger with thumb un-
derneath to smooth gloves on

DON'T shove them carelessly
into your handbag. Crumpling
gloves ruins them.
from the fingertip downward: /
Don't crumple your gloves and
throw them into your handbag
when you've removed them.
Smooth the fingers carefully and
press the gloves into shape. Fold
them at the base of the fingers
and then place them in your
purse.
These suggestions provide a
sure way to keep your suedes,
pigskins and all your capeskins
looking like new. A glove, like
any other item of wearing ap-
parel, will serve you well if
treated with care. Try to remem-
ber these hints to insure longer
