The fruit develops reddish, wart-
like growths. AS rule the dis
eased leaves drop off.
In eastern Washington, leaves
which come out after dry wealth
er sets in are usually free OF the
ton and during the wet wears In
the eastern part of the state the
disease, but in western Washing
new leaves become infected as
they grow out and the disease
continues to infect the tree until
late in the season.
Webster is advised by M. r.
Harris, w. S. c. extension plant
pathDlogist, that although two
sprays are usually necessary one
may be enough in the drier por-
tions of the state if it is properly
timed. The second spray should
be applied in late winter or early
spring before the buds begin to
swell or make any growth. Har-
ris explained that it is essential
that the spray be applied before
the buds swell because once the
bud scales part the fungus spores
grow into the young bud between
the scales. After that time no
spray will destroy the fungus.
The pathologist adds that peach
leaf curl is perhaps more easily
controlled than any other peach
disease, although control is inn
possible unless sprays are applied
at the proper time. He said
the best material to use is a
Bordeaux mixture at a strength
of 8-8-100, made of eight pounds
of copper sulfate, eight pounds of
hydrated lime and 100 gallons of
water. Application should be made
with good sticking agent, which
is available at any spray materials
store. For home gardeners and
others having only a few trees
he recommends the use of Pura-
tized agricultural spray. He said
three ounces of the Puratized ma
terial should be added to five gall
Ions of water and the spray
should be applied thoroughly ov-
er the entire tree.

or some other protector. "Above
all, keep that concrete from freaz-
ing" he says about pouring this
winter. Don't pour concrete into
frozen forms, against frozen soil,
or mix it when the said, gravel
and cement are frozen"
Some farmers think they can
use salt to keep concrete from
freezing, but Webster says this is
not true. According to r. N. Mill
er, extension agricultural enginee,
at Washington State college, when
five per cent salt is added, the
freezing point of concrete is re-
duced only six per cent but the
loss of strength resulting is
around 30 per cent.
Salt is sodium chloride, Miller
explained, and SO is quite differ
ent from calcium chloride, which
is sometimes used to reduce freez-
ing trouble and is mot too bad"
for the purpose. Calcium chloride
is also used instead of lime (cal-
cium oxide in cement. The names
are similar but the chemical re-
action using calcium chloride and
lime are not.
The engineer recommends two
to four per cent of calcium chlor-
ide in the cement for reducing
freezing danger. A two per cent
mix would mean two pounds OF
calcium chloride to bag OF ce-
ment, and four pounds for a four
percentmix. Hesaidaquart materla
per cent mix. He said a quart
of water should be used to DIS
solve each pound of chemical. TINS
water should be part OF the us
ual amound used for mixing
the concrete.
His best recommendation, now
ever, Is to use no chemical but 10
keep the raw concrete from freez-
ing. eff you must pour concrete

quick-setting cement. TINS Is
harder to work with, but Will set
quickly and won't require being
kept above freezing temperature

Agent Gives TIPS
On Cold Weather
Concrete Pourinu

The best advice is not to pour
concrete in freezing weather, but
if it must be poured in winter
there are some ways to minimize
the danger of freezing and avoid
having weak concrete as result,
County Extension Agent Frank
Webster reports.
He said there are some Benton
county farmers who have been
too busy during the rest of the
year to get at the job, and who
will want to do their concrete
work in December, January or
February. They probably know
they'll be taking a chance and
they may wonder later why they
have weak concrete.
The agent points out that

be covered with soil, straw, tarps

SHOULD TRUMAN THREATEN
 TO RESIGN

Ex- Congressman Howard Mo Murray of Wisconsin has proposed a daring plan to Senator McGrath, chairman of the Democratic Ma tional Committee.
 He proposes that President Tru> man resign-unless the Republican Congress adopts a detailed six point program on foreign policy, taxes, housing. cost of living. race discrimination and social security.
 The ex-Wisconsin Congressman urges that Truman go before a joint session of Congress and pro- pose that either this basic pro gram be adopted or warn that he will resign on May 6, thus making Joe Martin President. This would then place all responsibility square ly on Republican shoulders.
 Note: :-McGrath didn't particu- larly like the idea

Bonus Talk
Cincinnati Enquirer


 According to the Veterans Administration records, the veteran population of the United States now stands at an al-time high of 18,569000-of which IA 685 OOO are service women of World War II.
 We commend those statistics to the attention or any politicians who might wish to seek favor by pre- ferential treatment of veterans. Eighteen and half million sounds like lot of votes-and is But if that figure is compared with the number of wage-earners and taxpayers it be appreciated readily that vet erans compose large percentage of the wageearners and therefore the taxpayers of the nation In other words to very large degree, the veterans themselves would have to pay for any supposed argesse the pol ticians might promise them
 This reflection was prompted by news story i'll our Kentucky edition the other day referring to the formation for a "steamroer drive" (the term being applied by the sponsors themselves the Kentucky Iegisature to pay bonus to veterans of both World War I and IT. The packers evidently figured that they would go a step beyond the precedent Of other States and make the proposed bonus payable to veterans of both warsthe idea being that the political slpport would be increased proportionately. That remains to be seen
 In their status as taxpayers, the veterans ol World War I may not be enthusiastic about tre- mendous outlay of funds Considering that State finances chemically are in precarious stuation). Furthermore in trying to cover too much ground in their generosity the bonus sponsors very likely are minimizing the hope of World War II veterans getting anything

POSTWAR" IS NOT PEACE

Before the Second World War came to close a number of studies made by disnterested organi- zatie ms of the postwar budget situation The lowest estimate made of Federal expenditures contalneo Tn these was S16 billions, the highest $50 billions
 Yet the year l948-49 will be the third year after war and the President recently asked Congress TOT $397 billions for that twelve-month period senator Brewster of Maine finds it matter of profound regret that three years after the are able to reduce o,,r domestic expenditures by such small amount. .'
 This regret will be widely shared. Yet it would be mistake to think of the Federal budget of l948-49 as peacetime" budget in the sense that the budget of 1921 22 was peacetime budget By the third year

PROBE OR POLITICS

Sen. Homer Ferguson of Michi- gan is trying to keep the lid on a hot feud that is raging inside his appropriations subcommittee, now supposed to be investigating Sen. Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma and other grain spectators.
 At a closed-door meeting last week, Sen. Theodore Green of Rhode Island, Democrat, charged that Ferguson and other Repub- lican members were deliberately prolonging the probe so that hear ings on the speculations of T'hom- as, Ed Pauley and White House physician Wallace Graham can be held during the coming Presiden- tial campaign.
 At the rate we are going, this investigation will last until next November" Green asserted angri- ly. I'm not in favor of the in vestigation being used as politi- cal football"
 Republican Sen. William Know land of California, presiding in Chairman Ferguson's absence, de- niea that the COP. was trying to get any political advantage out of the speculator probe. It would be foolish to start the hearings until the committee has made a full investigation of the market trading of Senator Thomas and others, Knowland argued.
 well, how long is that going to take?" demanded Green. How soon can we get started on the hearings and in what order do we plan to put on witnesses? It's high time we reached a decision about these things
 Senator Knowland replied that he couldn't answer Greens ques- tions because no one knew as yet how long the preliminary in- vestigation would take, However,

 Ross read the ;-sJ later ln his office and hit the ceiling. Taking Vaughan's slip of paper, Ross rushed back to the Presidents office and asked if Truman had read Vaughan's memo thoroughly. The President looked at it. Then he also hit the ceiling.
 Meantime, Vaughan, irked at Ross for withholding the news from the press, held his own press conference, and announced himself as boss of all White House aides.
 For the next three hours the White House was in an uproar. No one inside the White House IS supposed to make statement to the press except Press Secretary Ross, and debate ragged on the expectancy of repudiating Waugh ans unauthorized statement to the press. Truman was furious at his military aide, hut hestitated to slap him down publicly.
 Finally, it was decided to an- nounce that Vaughan's self-pro- motion announcement was ''mis- apprehension" Privately. however, Truman used much stronger lang uage in dressing-down Vaughan for the trouble he had caused. After it was ever, the precocious ex- manufacturers representative from St Louis seemed quite content to keep his old job in the ranks of the four Armed Forces aides to President Truman.
