Tweedle-Dum and a Democratic

l. lie FDR, could not remain in
the party which has betrayed
the principles in which I believe"
Taylor, former Singing cow
boy" and Snowman, gained stature
when his relentless attack on the
late Sen. Theodore Bilbo Cd,
Miss) forced the Republican ma
jority in the Senate to fulfill their
pledge to prevent him from TAX
ing his seat.
Labor recognized the Idahoan
as one of its best friends when he
led the filibuster against over
riding the veto of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act, in an attempt to stall for
time until the public could reg
lister its protest against passage
of the slave labor measure.
AND consumers found one of
their few Senate friends in Taylor,
who recently introduced a bill to
roll back prices, re-impose price
controls, strengthen rent ceilings,
and resume rationing of scarce
materials.
1t should be clearly understood,
Taylor emphasized, that the new
party will join in trying to elect
those, Democrats and those few
Republicans who are liberals"
He said that there should be
no futile effort. to split the pro-
gressive vote by introduction of
a new party congressional candi-
date in those contents" but that
"the new party should fight to
select its own candidates" wher-
ever the two old parties run
hopeless" candidates.
MANY liberals and labor
leaders" who still are confused
by the lesser evil" fallacy will
eventually "be unable to resist
the clean, clear-cut appeal of the
new party and will join u.s."
Taylor predicted.
"But even if some leaders re-
fuse to change their position for
reasons of pride or PRESTIGE" he
added, II am confident the work
ers, the average Americans who
crave peace in the world and a
square deal at home will follow
their own convictions and help
insure the victory of this crusade
in behalf of the common man."

L
sive Citizens of America.
The l74 delegates at the Mary
land Hotel decided to disband
the Pea ward and community
organizations in Cook County
and downsfate.
They recommend that all Pea
members go into the ward and
community organizations of the
Progressive Party, which will
soon launch a statewide organi-
rational drive.
The sessions opened with a key
note speech by Grant Cakes, pres
ident of the United Farm Equip
ment Workers (CIO), who hailed
the decision as a chance ito weld
all the forces of progress into the
Progressive Party" and closed
with the election of officers. in
Guiding Curtis D. McDougan,
chairman; Dorothy Cole, secre-
tary; and Al Joseph, treasurer.
WILLIAM MILLER, executive
director of Pea, said that local
organizations would probably
hold one more meeting before the
units are disbanded.
The members will discuss the
change and plan effective action
within the Progressive Party, with
an eye to the forthcoming primar-
les and the November elections.
"The Progressive Party is very
pleased by the conventions deci-
sion," Zal Garfield, the party's
executive director, declared.
I'VE FEEL that it will be a long
step toward unity of the progress
sive movement in general and
the Wallace campaign in particu-
lar.
I'VE are looking forward to
an influx of Pea people expe-
rienced in practical political ac-
tion at all levels of the Progress
sive Party. from the top on
down." r
The convention decision fol-
lowed considerable discussion
within the local Pea units.
SOME CONFUSION about the
role Pea would play on city
and statewide level was cleared
up by Miller, who said:
pea will now aid the pro-
gressive movement - and the
campaign to elect Henry A.
Wallace President-bY working
in public relations. publicity.
Embarrassing. education. and re-
lated fields through It's divi-
sions: arts. science. business and
professional men. teachers. and

Delegates to the convention de-
cided that representation at flu
ture Pea conventions and con-
ferences would be determined by
the number of members in each
locality.

$35 am Acre to Leach
Alka1i Soils


leached in central Wyoming tests in
two years with a maximum appli-
cation Of 90 inches of water and at
an estimated cost of $35 an acre, ac-
cording to Wyoming experiment
station bulletin No. 276, Removal
of A1kali by Drainage and Leach
ing" by T. j. Dunnewald, associate
in soil investigations.
A series of test plots was set up
ON alka1i farm land in Fremont
county to determine (f) how much
water would be necessary TO reduce
the salt content to the point where
economic plants could again be
grown, (2) il the soil tends to seal
up when its salts are removed with
pure water, and (3) whether chemi-
cal treatment would be useful in
keeping the soil porous during the
teaching process.
1t was found that both the river
water and the irrigation canal water
were of good quality and did not
supply much salt to the irrigated
lands. The subsoil and drain waters
were found to have a high salt CON-
tent composed mainly of sodium
Su1phate. When these subsoi1 waters
would rise to within less than three
to three and a half feet of the sur
face of the soil, there was a capillary
rise of the water and its salt to the
surface, and the water, upon evapo-
rating, left a concentration of salt in
and on the soil surface.
Drain bitches
An open field drain was built 10
intercept most of this seep water,
prevent constant renewal of the salt
in subsoi1 water below the drain
and prevent high water tables be-
meath the level terrace lands. A re-
duction in the salt concentration was
considered possible then by wash
ing the surface of the land with
pure water.
This washing was done by irri-
eating each plot with six inches o.
water twice a month. Each irriga,
; ton caused q rise OF the subsoi
water of from 6 to II inches be
meath the plots. At first the sub
soil water stayed high a longe1
time after irrigation than it dit
after teaching had gone on for som,
time. This change was accompanies
by a more rapid drying out of tn,
plots after irrigation in the faI
months.
Irrigation
With rain and irrigation, q tots
of 81 inches of water was apple,
the first year and Al inches tn
second year. From 40 to IS per
cent of the original salt had bee
removed from the plots by the en-
i of the first year. Indications wer
that irrigations should be at leas
224s inches the following years t
keep the salt level low and gradv
ally to reduce it further.
The lowest salt content vas foun
. on q plot where both sulphur an
gypsum were applied along wit
| the teaching process. However, GOO
seed termination of alfalfa ar
sweet clover was obtained on a
plots after they were leached, so II
conclusion was that not all the sd

his desire to make the Republicans
uncomfortable over such matters as
high prices reveals his own inabil-
ity to be realistic about the
inflatlonary character of the unre-
strained government spending his
program would require. Nor do
such matters as the inter-relation
of . prices, wages, government
spending, ETC., seem to register
with him. He may have a lovely
bright new program, but the prob
ability is that he will present the
same general demand to which the
80th Congress with the co-opera-
tion of a considerable number of
non-New Deal Democrats has al
ready replied. It will be interesting
to see politics played in these areas,

wound up taking a nice ride. Bill
finally made it after an hour o-

The West Side boys waited un-
til the beach was cleared of peo-

Several East boys dared going
near the water. Namely, Carl

went with them only to wet our

we were all wet, even behind the
