Electrical Drying
Soft Corn Practical
Ohio Farmer Develops
Own Economical System

The problem of drying soft corr
is not the difficult chore it once
was, according to farmers who
have experimental successfully
with Incorporated, forced air sys-
TENS installed in their own cribs.
Heat is not an essential factor in
most installations, particularly when
drying operations are conducted in
the fall or early spring. The dam
ger in cribbing immature corn is
that it may spoil before cold wealth
er arrives to restrain spoilage proc
esses during the winter, or mold
during the first few warm spring
days.
Forced air drying is practical and
economical without heat in temper
atures as low as so degrees. High
er temperatures, however, speed
up and cut costs of drying opera
tons. Karl Mohr, Ohio farmer, for
example, reported having spent $40
for electricity to crib-dry 60 tons of
immature corn by forcing air
through it for 100 continuous hours
during a period when daytime tenn
perature reached 80 degrees.

q letter from a listener lamentlng
what she called lone Of u greatest
troubles today"-lack of faith in our
leaders.
She then described her "conster-
nation" when she heard Senator
Barkley's "gushing and howery
TALK nominating Franklin Roose-
welt for President in 1914, after
hearing the senator's famous ire
VOLT speech sharply c%riticizing the
Presidents veto message in the tax
bill the previous February.
To Washington, there was nothing
inconsistent in those two perform
ances at all. What happened was
this: two persons who had worked
together in a common cause fell out.
Amends were made, and still loyal
to that cause, the nan who had been
affronted registered his complaint,
and then, feeling that the virtue Of
his position had been recognized,
took up his labors in the common
cause again.
Perhaps that explanation would
satisfy my disillusioned listener, had
1t not been for the fact that she not
only misinterpreted the significance
of Senator Barkley's speech, but
actually put into his mouth words
that he didn't use.
She said that Barley had said
that the President was dishonest,
and that he (Mr. Roosevelt) knew
he was dishonest.
Now, by interesting coincidence,
something had recalled that speech
Of Mr.. B%arkley's to my attention only
a day or so before I received the let
ter.
A loyal toiler in the Democratic
party had remarked to me that the
senator from Kentucky. having
served as majority leader longer
than any nan who has held that job
in the senate, had increased tre-
mendously in stature in the eyes of
supporters and opponents. And, my
friend explained, it was his ire
volt" Of February %, 1914, which
marked the moment when Barley
began to wax in the favor of op-
ponent and supporter alike!
AS a result of the coincidence
the letter and the remarks of my
friend-I reread the revolt speech.
Nowhere in it did Senator Bark
ley accuse the President of being
dishonest. But it is easy to see
how a listener might have missed
the shades of meaning in the speak
er's words. However, those words,
correctly interpreted, I feel GER
tain, reflected precisely the feeling
of the senator. Had he wished to
go further, he could easily have
done so.

He said the President used a
method Of calculation (which obvi-
ously was handed to him by a mind
more clever than honest"
1t was natural to assume that
some White House advisor had pro-
duced the data, and in all likelihood,
that some literary aide had written
the veto message. Indeed, one of
the columnists consistently an
nounced at the time that it was
the work Of Judge Rosenman.
As a matter of fact, I can state
with absolute certainty that that
was one Of the few speeches which
President Roosevelt, who was good
and mad because congress had re-
fused to give him the tax bill he
wanted, wrote himself, inditing
the entire philippe with his own
hand.
Whether Senator Barley would
have replied with greater or less
vigor had he known the actual au-
thorship, I do not know. The fact
remains. however, that he said what
he meant and meant what he said.
Nowhere did he call the President
dishonest. He did establish his

Resent Personal
Slap at Congress

There were two especially sharp
passages in Barkley's talk. The
President had charged in his mes
sage (vetoing the tax bill) that "it
is squarely the fault of the congress
of the United States in using Ian
guage in drafting the law which not
even a dictionary or a thesaurus
can make clear"
There was a biting, personal fla
vor in that sentence which congress
as a whole, and Barley individually
and as majority leader, could not
help resenting.
Barley said: If it (the above
statement) was made by anybody
who ever sat in a tax committee
meeting, it was a deliberate and
unjustified mis-statement in order to
place upon congress the blame for
universal dissatisfaction with tax
complexities and in order to pro-
duce the illusion that the executive
departments have in vain protested
against this completely"
Here one can see that Barley is
defending the integrity Of the con-
gress. He did not spare his anger
at the affront. But, since he knew
FDR had never sat in a tax COM
mittee meeting, he wasn't placing
the onus entirely on the President.
There was n other sharp riposte
