Springs The Time to get poetic,
even if we have to borrow some
one else's brain child. This one
is apropo the new cars and the
fellow who's thinking of buying a
new one:
The differences between my car
And the new ones would fill a
tome;
There's difference in the axle bar
And difference in the chrome.
There's a difference, and it's very
much
(Of kind as we'll as degree),
In space for luggage, in brakes
and clutch,
In paint and upholstery.
There's difference, too, in rid
ing ease
And in pickup when passing

There's also difference (note
well, please)
Of at least a thousand bucks.

That Huge contraption which
has been attracting so much at
tention this week out Of the Jo-
hannsen Farm Supplies on South
Fulton road is sprayer and can
be used for spraying either ap-
pie or peach trees. One person
likened it's size to a submarine or
an airplane without wings. It's
equipped with large bomber tires,
56 inches high and % inches wide,
the spray tank has 500 gallon
capacity and the spraying solu-
ton can be discharged in TX
minutes. That should give you a
big idea of the size of the thing.
1t was trucked in Tuesday from
Florida, and, if all goes accord
ing to Hoyle, will be demon
strated at the Liam Fruit Firm
this Friday afternoon. This par
ticular model is the first in this
territory and will be sold by the
Johannsen Farm Supplies.

Five Western European Nations
Make Preliminary Defense Plans

While it is difficult to forecast the outcome Of
the defense plans of the five Western nations of Eu-
rope, considerable preliminary work is being done,
with some attention being paid to the important
problem of financing rearmament.
Unofficial dispatches from Europe indicate that
an army of some 100000 is in the program
with about twenty armored divisions with modern
weapons and machines. The bulk of the manpower
it is assumed would be provided by France but the
British Dutch and Belgans would be expected to
contribute some divisions
The European defense leaders attempting
to set up schedule for themselves before seeking
the assistanc of the United States. It is believed in
Europe that something like Lend-Lease program
will evolve which will permit them to receive SUBJ
stantal aid from this country in the form of weapons,
equipment and supplies
AS economic recovery is pronounced in Eu-
rope, the presumption is that the five countries
do something in the way of their defense.
That of course is the prime factor in plans for
army but the French it appears in no condition to
support the cost of army a large scale. Mean
while, it is obvious that the three million men, if
trained, armed and equipped are no match for the
millions that the Red Army can throw into fray.

Horch, the grand exalted Nou-
gat of the nut-house on the
drive, hoping that Louie would
be able to drag his lamasery out
of debt and complications. Now
l find that the cult was doing
big business importing art,
free of duty, and selling it at
prices higher than an English
mans pants, They rang up Sll3,-
665 in a sale of two days at the
Anderson galleries, in New
York, in March, 1890, and those
figures may help you under
stand the passionate appetite
for culture that Louie got about
that time.
In December, 1882, the chief
of the division of enforcement
of the customs laws notified a
man in New York who had
squealed on the bunch at the
Jossery that he was awarded
Sl27 for his information. An
informer gets Is per cent of the
amount recovered SO this would
indicate that the government
collected only $500. However,
gross figures do not faithfully
represent taxable amounts.
Some smart art politician seems
to have got in some ticks on the
Revenue Act to permit these
monumental esthetes to keep
it all in many classifications of
their merchandise whereas
man importing canaries, cuckoo
clocks and camembert pays a
terrible price in duties.
We get more and more puz-
zled about the strange bashful-
ness that Horch has developed
since l began to ask him ques-
tons, The cat seems to have his
tongue. That is a dramatic
change, when we remember that
he once courted publicity and
kept his press agents busy.

governmental activity is a ser
ious problem. There is some
duplication of effort among ma
ny departments. Game and fish
supervision ties in with forestry
and water resources as well as
with agriculture. Forestry and
and agriculture can hardly be
completely separated. Parks,
forestry. all sorts of recreation
get mixed up with commercial
vocation resorts. Development
of state potentials in commerce
and industry get tangled with
traditional functions Of depart
ments of labor, employment Sc
curity and general agricultural
progr ess. State advertising
deals with all of them and more.
1t is impossible to draw clearly
definitive lines of distinction, and
apparently almost impossible to
adequately coordinate functions
of all divisions into a unified
workable whole. Question is
whether these functions can be
efficiently integrated into other
departments headed by elective
officers.
FORESTRY-It is known. for
instance, that some of those
close to L. Y Ballentine, COM
missioner-elect of agriculture,
think his department ought to
control forestry. There is logi-
cal support for that claim. But

the transfer would not be sim
pie.
PRO - In favor of putting
forestry under supervision of
the department of agriculture
is argument that timber is be-
coming an important agricultur-
al crop. The national forests
are integrated in the federal de-
partment of agriculture. Forest
ry has. an important relation
ship to problems of erosion and
general soil conservation. From
these viewpoints forests should
be under agriculture. But -
OVERALL - So it seems that
a department of conservation
and development should be the
most important segment OF
state government. including in a
its purview all the natural, phy-a
steal and human resources OF
the state; or it ought to be dis
membered and its varied func-
tons assumed by other depart
ments under executive SUPER
vision for further coordination
and central direction.
CON On the other hand,
forestry ties in very closely with
game conservation. Lumber,
main product of forests, goes
into buildings or furniture, and
therefore is intimately related
to industrial development OF
state resources.
