SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS

The u. S. 1916 fall pig crop is esti-
mated to be IT per cent smaller in
number than the 1945 fall pig crop.
These pigs normally are marketed in
the spring so the supply of ham, pork
chops, and bacon next spring is likely
to be shorter than during early 1916.
Loan facilities formerly provided
by the Farm Security Administration
and by the Emergency Crop and
Feed Loan Division of the Farm
Credit Corporation now are furnish
ed by the new agency Farmers Home
Administration.
Fall or early winter is the best
time to apply sprays to control peach
leaf curl. Materials recommended are
a combination of six and one-fourth
gallons of liquid lime sulphur with
100 gallons of water or 6-S-100
Bordeaux mixture.
u. S. farmers produced the biggest
wheat crop in history in 1916, but
national authorities warn that the
enormous harvest does not mean the
present wheat supply is the greatest
on record. Wheat supplies were down
to the bottom of the bins when the
1916 harvest began because exports
and short livestock feed supplies took
the reserve from previous crops.
Foreign nations will want more u. S.
wheat before another harvest.

moth in severely infested orchards,

beetle, European corn borer, and
thrips. 1t also will be recommended

to gather winter stores of food from
goldenrod and asters. Most colonies
are we'll supplied, but w. E. Duniam,

their yards for weak colonies. He
says the best practice is to unite
weak colonies after making sure that

Allied prisoners of war was studied
and deliberate, witnesses told the In

Tokyo.
Gen. Jonathan Wainwright, hero of
Bataan, and other high ranking Al
lied officers in Formosa prison camp
were beaten daily by guards on orders
OF their Japanese officers.
An Australian officer, Brigadier Ar
thur Seaforth Blackburn testified: Il
nave seen beatings administered to
'Gen. Wainwright, Gen. Percival (Sir
Arthur Percival, prewar commander
at Slngapore) and the governors of
hong kong and Malaya."
Blackburn said Wainwright had a
lump on his jaw after one such beat
ing.
The cause for punishment was
elther non-existent or for an offense
SO trivial that prisoners did not know
such rules existed.
one trick sentries played repeatedly
was to hide behind bushes near the

COAL: Private VS.. Public Welfare

THE climactic court battle over
L coal held the center of the
stage as the nations heavy indus
try ground toward a stop as a dl-
rect result of the showdown be-
tween John l.. Lewis and the gov
ernment.
A year ago, the President called a
acknowledgement Conference to at
tempt to iron out industrial troubles
before they reached the strife stage.
When it failed Mr.. Truman tried TO
set up fact-finding boards but both or
ganized labor and capital were cool to
that proposal.
The first big wave of strikes in key
industries last winter and spring
stalled reconversion in the steel, au-
tomobile, rubber, meat packing, oil
and electric appliance trades. The
men went back to work after general
18 percent pay increases but the two
and three-month walkouts were a
factor in snarling highly geared, mass
production lines.
New cars, refrigerators, washing
machines and housing material have
not come through on schedule. There
were cars without batteries, bumpers
or heaters, vacuum cleaners without
motors and green, unseasoned lumber
but no nails.
Public Interest
Other strikes directly affecting the
public were the two maritime dis
putes, the railroad walkout, the Pitts
burgh power blackout, the New York
tugboat and trucking strikes.
The Oakland, Calf. general strike
called by AFL unions in protest at
police conduct in two local depart
ment store strikes tied up tranSporta-
ton and industry for 100000 East
Bay residents and stranded thousands
of San Francisco commuters. The
walkout halted deliveries of such es-
