want about 100 plants, we would
suggest leaving about lis to 100 after
the mechanical thinning. This means
the procedure will be quite severe
and farmers should be al
toned to do the mechanical thin
ming when the beets are small, that
is, less than 3 inches high.
Finger Weeders Effective
Tools such as the bean or finger
weeders can then be employed after
the mechanical thinning to tear out
weeds in the blocks of beets. Farm
ers in many areas have found IN
the last couple of years that the
finger weeder effectively takes out
grass and small weeds without in
jury to the beets themselves, if they
have as many as three to four true
leaves.
Weeds can be pretty well ON
trolled by going " the field two,
three or four times with ordinary

obtained which makes for better
filth. In dry springs, it would seem
advisable to do the finger wedding
in advance of emergence of the
beet seed to control small weeds.
Where this was done last year, it
definitely reduced the need for hand
weddings.
Another indication of the tests
was that within reasonable limits,
spacing distances between blocks
made little difference in. yield.
Blocks spaced 8 inches apart, aver
aged 1884 tons, 12-inch spacing av-
eraged 1857 tons and 16-inch spac-
ing, 1856 tons.
There are many tools which can
be used for mechanical thinning.
Many growers have found that sat
isfactory work can be done with
discs and duckfeet, discs and knives
or Weeder knives alone arranged on
the tractor tool bars and going at
right angles to the row. This is the
system employed in the Red River
valley where about 10 percent of
the beets in 1916 and 1947 were so
handled.
Two Things Important
Two things are important in
spring mechanization-uniform ger
mination of beets and weed control.
Where mechanical thinning is to be
the practice we suggest planting 5
to 6 pounds of segmented seed per
acre in 20-inch rows. To assist in
getting uniform planting, use the
best drill possible and do not plant
too rapidly. Bear in mind that at 6
pounds an acre and 3 miles per hour,
the drill is planting at the rate of
Sc seeds per second. Do not plant
faster than this for good results.
There are many things being tried
out, both mechanical and chemical,
for weed control, but at the present
time we suggest that beet growers
stick to tools such as the finger
weeder or side delivery rake until
more conclusive recommendations
can be made about new things now
being experimental with.
Bear in mind that the crop car
be grown mechanically without sac
rificing yield or quality. Perfect re.
suits should not be expected the

Pay day came twice to Harring-
ton Hotel "kitcheteria" employees
this week.
They lined up for their weekly pay
day Thursday, and yesterday every
body from the manager to the dish
washers picked up their first divi-
dends from the cafeteria's new prof.
it-sharing plan.
Revolutionary in the cafeteria
business, the system was installed
when the remodeled eatery reopened
for business on August 2. Every en-
ploye working there at least month
was entitled to share in distribution
of one half the net profits.
Yesterday they sliced the first
melon-$3,14185 including $62s.37
for the manager, r. Vance Bryce,
who draws a salary as manager Of
the hotel but depends on a percent
age of the net cafeteria take for his
work there.
Agree System Is Fine"
One and all agreed, as they picked
up their bonus envelopes, that the
system is working fine. This in
cluded the man on the paying end,
Brunson s. McCutchen, part-owner
of the hotel, who set the ball rolling
and came down from Princeton,
N. j., to see how the game was going.
"I got the idea from reading how
other businesses were letting en-
ployes in on profits" said Mr.. Nc
Cutchen. 1T may be the answer to
a lot of headaches, if more indus
tries adopt the plan-the answer to
the race between higher wages and
prices.
1T encourages teamwork. Now
when an employe breaks a dish, he
knows half Of that dish is his, and
if food is wasted, it is not food be-
longing to company Of infinite
wealth, such as most employees re-
gard corporations"
Blond Mrs. Minnie K. Richard
son, a cashier who netted an extra
$37 80 for about As days work, smiled
happily.

I've been working around hotels and
restaurants for a long time" she
said. Now we have an incentive to
treat customers with extra courtesy,

hoping they will come back. And
there is much better teamwork and
feeling among the employees"
16S Wage Raise Estimated.
The management figured that the
wages Of all sharing employees were
increased by 1875 per cent for this
first distribution. Next to the
manager, Erwin H. Faller. the chef
who once served Emperor Halle
Selassie Of Ethiopia, drew the fat
test bonus, $2l3.70. One dishwasher
earned an additional $57.77, equi-
valent to two weeks pay.
The 40 employees are union men,
bers, drawing union wages with the
exception of a few whose salaries
are higher.
Less than two years ago the res
taurant was operating at loss. A
year ago yesterday the management
had no trouble counting house
of 349 patrons, contributing $3l1.35
in gross receipts.
Yesterday 1,643 persons had
breakfast, lunch or dinner there
and the receipts were $1,048.11.

TAX REDUCTION

Top domestic news Of the week
was the action of Congress In pass
ing the compromise tax-reduction
bill, ,hus putting the fate of the
measure squarely up to President
Truman. AS this is being written,
MI. Truman had not yet acted, but
he was expected to veto the bill,
In Which case both houses of Con-
gress would have to override the
veto by a two-thirds vote in order
to enact the measure into law In
spite of presidential disapproval.
1t appears that there is an am
pie margin of votes in favor of the
bill to override a veto, since the
Senate passed the measure 1911
and the House voted 1886 in ia
vor of the bill However, there is
no assurance that upon a recount,
the same number of votes would
be obtained for tax-reduction, since
some legislators will undoubtedly
switch their votes in favor of up
holding the presidential veto. This
is especially true of Democrats
who Reluctantly joined with Re-
pub,icans to vote for tax-reduction
on initial consideration; an about
lace on their part on second vote
would be no surprise, politics being
what they are
The pros and cons of taX-reduc-
ton both present strong cases. On
the one hand, 1t is felt that the
pre- sent rate of taxation should be
continued in order to act as a
brake upon initiation, to keep the
budget balanced and reduce some
of the huge public debt, and espe-
cially In view of the unsettled in
ternational situation and the needs
of our armed forces. In favor OF
tax-reduction, it might be said that
the present high rates make II
well-nigh impossible for the average
man to save for the future; that
private enterprise and business are
being stifled by high taxes; and
that the American taxpayer is en-
titled to some sort of relief after
the heavy tax burdenof recent years
It the tax-reduction measure be-
comes law, relief will Of course be
most apparent at the bottom of the

! Red Army, not the theology of Karl
Marx, which enabled the Russian
government to expand its frontiers
1t is the pressure of that army far
beyond the new frontiers which
makes the will of the Krelnlin ir-
resistible within the Russian sphere
of influence.
1T is the threat that the Red
Army may advance still farther
west-into Italy, into western Ger
many, into Scandinavia-that gives
the Kremlin and the native commu-
mist parties of western Europe an
ebnormal and intolerable influence
in the affairs of the European con-
tinent.
Therefore, the immediate and
the decisive problem of our relations
with the Soviet Union is whe-
Their, when, on what conditions the
Red Army can be prevailed upon
to evacuate Europe"
The evacuation of Europe by the
three European armies of &C.
cup tion can be accomplished only
if a treaty of peace for Germany
and for Austria can be negotiated,
signed and ratified. The Red Army
will remain in eastern Europe as
long as it remains in Germany and
in Austria.
Lippmann points out that there
is a contest between the Truman
Doctrine on the one hand, and the
Marshall Plan and the support of
the United Nations on the other,
within the State Department, with
in the Administration, within the
government as a whole.
An attempt is made, the author
states, by Molotov and the Soviet
propaganda abroad and by the
many publicists here in the United
States, to represent the Marshall
proposals to Europe as an applica-
ton of the Truman Doctrine.
The political analyst concludes
his little book by pointing out the
fundamental differences between
the Truman Doctrine and the Mar
shall Plan. The Truman Doctrine,
he says, treats those who are sup
posed to benefit by it as depend
encies of the United States, as in
struments of the American policy
for containing" Russia. The Mar
shall Plan, on the other hand, treats
the European governments as in
dependent powers, whom we must
help but cannot presume to govern,
or to use as instruments of an Anne
rican policy.
