Three Brothers
Up Beet Acreage

SCOTTSBLUFF, Nebr.. May g.
A three brother combination of
Joe, Ed and S. Otsuki, who farm
one mile west and one mile north
of Stegal located is miles west of
here, have increased their beet
acreage from 100 to 100 acres this
year.
The brothers use many of the
latest implements and methods in
raising their beets.
They are using a new six-row
John Deere precision drill with a
phosphate attachment with a disc
arrangement for cover crop plant
ing. The disc throws ridge of
dirt over the seed row with t he
ridge acting as a wick to draw
moisture to the seed for speedier
termination. Later, the ridge is
removed. Cultivation Is also OBJ
tanned through this practice and
weed growth reduced.
Ed is back on the farm this year
after spending 10 months with the
Army in Germany and his help is
counted on in working the in
creased acreage. They have one
topper and another ordered and
expect to handle the harvest with
the aid of another helper.
Last year they harvested their
100 acres of beets in 81 days with
the single topper.

Japan's new democratic consti-
tuition goes into effect today,
marking another step in the most
far-reaching political, social and
economic reform program ever a.
chieved by any nation in a COM
parable period of time.
The constitution is largely the
h andiwor of neral
of the Army Douglas Macarthur
but some alterations were made
in the original draft by the Diet
In its final form it was adopted by
the freely expressed will of the
Japanese people at a special cleo
ton six months ago, after it had
been approved by the cabinet, the
Diet and Emperor Hirohito.
The new charter contains what
are probably the clearest and most
explicit guarantees of individual
rights and freedoms to be found
in any similar document. 1t was
necessary to specify these rights
and freedoms in detail, because
many of them were unknown OF
had been long suppressed under
the Japanese system of feudalism
and the tyranny of the war lords
1t also provides for a system of
representative government, pat
termed somewhat after the British
parliamentary procedure.

Mothers Day

Mothers day, a sweet reminder,
Coming to us once year,
Prompting our neglectful nation
To remember Mother dear.
e:
Wives and husbands often
quarrel
Separate and go away;
Brothers often fight with
brothers,
Sisters mingle in the fray.
But whenever some misfortune
Seems too much for lis to stand
We may go corfide in Mother;
She will give a healing hand.
OF our loved ones, she is dearest
Savior in our every need;
So write this song to Mother,
To remember her, indeed!

ex-schoolmate Paul Louie, who
is still young man in his twenties,
recently became a full-fledged min
lister in the Chinese Baptist church
here.
Months before he was ordained
we had a rather pleasant talk in
a drug store, stumbling awkwardly
from one topic into another until
we struck one which hit a unai-
mously favorable accord.
The subject was the matter OF
better relations between Chinese
and Japanese Americans through
The churches. Neither of us put m
any opposition to this thought.
So, it may be stated here that
chances of better Chinese Japa-
nese Americans ties are definitely
bright.

delivered groceries for the store

After I had bought my ticket and
packed a borrowed suitcase, &C.
quaintances advised me not to
make the trip. They said I wouldn't
be safe, that feeling was running
so high in Georgia that outlanders
were liable to be met at the ter
minal station in Atlanta by men
who demanded passports, a declara-
tion of faith in the current govern
ment, and a conviction that polka
dot supremacy was fair and just.
Part and Parcel of State.
Having been born In Georgia,
knew how to protect myself while
in its confines. I arrived in Atlanta
wearing a wool hat, hickory shirt,
a pair of "yaller" brogans, and ac-
companied by pair Of rib-showing
hounds. I have been here day
and half now and not once have
I been molested. I have been ac-
cepted as part and parcel Of the
State.
Since I have been here I have
been in touch with Georgia's lead
ing artists, and have had many long
and interesting talks as to just what
type of memorial should be erected
to the late Eugene Talmadge. I have
walked all over the lovely capitol
grounds, where the memorial is to
be erected, looking for a suitable
site.
I have even offered my services to
the State, and have gone on record
as willing to design a shaft, an
equestrian. statue, or anything else,
for free.
What would be a fitting memorial
for the late Gene?
The first thing I thought Of was
a statue of George Washington
Carver, with Gene riding him pick
a-back. But that would cost too
much, as it would require two marble
figures.
Shape of Sheet.
Then I considered great slab of
white marble, sunk in the grass of
the capitol grounds, in the shape of
a sheet. No man looking on that
especially if the stonecutters had
drilled eyeholes in the marble
could fail to remember Mr.. Tai
madge.
An artist friend said he didn't like
either one of these designs, He
thought that granite spittoon-
pure and simple, cold and aloof-
would be more fitting memorial.
"a place." he said, where all who
chew tobacco could find solace and
relief"
Frankly, I didn't like that sugges-
ton. There was more to the late
Gene than g. plug of tobacco.
Granted, the massive spittoon would
serve purpose, but it wouldn't in
corporate the spirit of the man who
four times was accorded the COVER
norship Of Georgia. The spittoon
shouldn't be cold and pure. It
should have handles in the shape
of red gallusses; it should rest on
q base carved from the bones of
the downtrodden and helpless, and
atop it should be a torch which
would beckon all those who care to
share in seeing that the ignorant
and unenlightened weren't given a
chance.
Yes, Georgia must see to it that
Gene has a memorial. He did too
much, too, too much, ever to be
forgotten.
