The American farmer can
thank Henry Wallace's scientific
nosiness, however, for present
day record rural prosperity. He
is the man who developed and
marketed the famous hybrid seed
corn which forms the basis Of
us. boom hog production and
prices. Twenty-Five years Of corn
br din g experimentation by
Wallace led to the agricultural
scientific masterpiece, Cooper
Cross hybrid seed corn. 1t grows
bigger, quicker and with more
bushel-yield per acre and higher
disease resistance than naturally
pollinated corn.
=
THE MOTTO of the seed corn
company which he founded in
Des Moines is: Developed, not
discovered. Made to fit, not found
by chance" The slogan applies
to the New Party 1913 Presi-
dental candidate.
Today Wallace is only small
minority stakeholder in the seed
corn company. He hasn't been
active in the business in recent
years except as an adviser.
Wallace developed his revolu-
tionary seed corn by applying the
Mendelian Theory of Genetics,
the newest branch of the organic
sciences, which now gives Amer
lean agriculture superior strains
of crops and animals. Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace issued
three Government Year Books
which told how genetics could be
applied to the farm.

THE LESSONS of this ex-
perience, plus his organizing in
railroads, mines, and the I.W.W.
turned Debs to socialism. After
long years of organizing and
stumping for principles he ran
for President of the U. S. A. on

Holy Bible as the speech Of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Offstage, Wallace is a better
listener than a talker. When
F.D.R. called him "Old Man Com
mon Sense" he undoubtedly
meant Henry's ability to listen to
the people and put longing into
law and policy.
WALLACE takes people as
they come. He was raised in the
Midwest, and he naturally looks
at the next man as an equal,
without regard to his color,
money, manners or clothes, or
his creed and religion.
His savage campaign speeches
against racial discrimination in
America arise from a homely
haired of people who set Them
selves above others. His first in
formal teacher of botany was
George Washington Carver.
Negro graduate student at Iowa
Agricultural College bacl. in the
nineties. when Henry was six.
Wallace's interest in people diff
fers from political baby-kissing
and memorizing first names OF
voters. He often fails to make
big impression on a new ac-
quaintance because he doesn't
glad-hand or join in nervous
small talk. In fact he has been
known to lower his head and 90

gushing over him. In campaign
councils when long winded
speeches are being made he cat

derstand that gets up at $50 am,
winks for staying up late at night
politicking.
WALLACE is always learning.
His world-ranging interests vary
from statistical studies of post
war cartels to boomerang-throw-
ing, which leads to fearful sus-
plcion of Henry Wallace by safe,
hidebound and ignorant citizens.

Henry's a mem
OF n1onY ports

nj OF since Thomas Jefferson
IN have the American voters
been looking over a presidential
candidate with such diversified
accomplishments as Henry Wal
lace.
Jefferson was scientific far
mer. inventor, architect, lawyer,
musician and author. AS a first
hour fighter for democracy, he
wrote the Declaration of indie
pendence, and in six years was
called by the people to defend
his deed by leading them to
political victory over the Hamil-
ton tories, who had jailed patriots
and tried to pick fight with the
world.
Henry Wallace has as many
sides. All his life a working
farmer. he is also the scientist
who gave American agriculture
heavy-Yielding hybrid corn.

son Henry are making genetic

cites is a Russian plant, which

the people to lead a new party
to power.
WHEN old parties decay into
cabals of militarists and mono
poly, democracy labors into be-
ing new instruments of the popu-
lar will. Thus did Jefferson found
peoples party and saved the
Republic from the autocratic
Federalists of 1902.
Thus did Lincoln destroy the
Wings with the new Republican
Party in 1860.
Henry Wallace carries the
standard of a new party in ls48
against the Republocrat dictator
ship of Wall Street and West
Point. against The monopolist and
military usurpers who sneaked
into the White House over Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's grave.
THE NEW PARTY candidate
for President is a sturdy, BASH
ful-smiling farmer with big sun
burned hands that know the heft
of farm tools.
For more than a decade in
Washington he had to wear
striped pants and clawhammer
coats, or fulldress on big occa-
sions. He did it as well as the
next man: it was duty, and he
will do it again.
But the real Henry is a man
in comfortable suit without
vest. His pants are held up by a
belt, and his pockets are full of
seed corn, which he likes to give
to farmers in Montana or Siberia.
HE is man who received an
important visitor in Washington
while haboring a sick rabbit I'M
der his radiator. When the rab-
bit came out and dirtied MIR.
Secretary's carpet, Wallace ex-
planned that he was waiting to
take it to veterinary. The rab-
bit belonged to his little son.
His stubborn greying hair
shoots out over his forehead like
Lii Abner's. His speech has an
Iowa resonance and his language
on the platform draws as strong

Snavely Has Vital Interest In
Deacons, But More Worries Ahead
In contest With Maryland Terps

Richmond, Va, Nov. 9-(P)-I
1t was somewhat debatable to-
day whether Carl Snavely or
Peahead Walker was most anxi-
Gus for Wake Forests Demon
Deacons to keep up the high
scoring antics which have given
them two upset triumphs in a
row.
Ordinarily, Walker-the Deac-
ons' personable coach-could be
expected to hold the kenner in
terest. But Snavely's stake in
Wake Forests success grew by
leaps and bounds when his
North Carolina Tar Heels were
tied by William and Mary last
Saturday at Chapel Hill.
That deadlock, the only scar
on the Tar Heel record SO far,
enabled the undefeated, united
Clemson Tigers to climb into
undisputed possession of first
place in the Southern Confer
ence standings.
Now, apparently, the only
hope North Carolina has of
latching on to the 1948 league
championship lies in the posi-
bility that Wake Forest can
whip the Tigers this weekend at
Winston-Salem. Clemson looks
to be lin" if it can slip by the
red-hot Deacons, who have lick
ed N. c. State and Duke, two
of the circuits leading lights,
on successive weekends. No one
figures the Tigers will have
much difficulty with the Cita-
del, the only other loop foe on
the Clemson schedule after
Wake Forest.
Snavely, of course, had plenty

Jackets Begin Prepping For Contest
With GreenviIIe There Friday Might

Jackets, fresh from their 1Z-O
setback at the hands of a strong
Oxford High School eleven dug
in for practicing for two conse-
cutive out-of-town tilts yester-
day, with the Greenville Geeen-
les as the next item on their
schedule.
Coach Dan eagle, Yellow
Jacket mentor, said after the
game here Friday night his
team turned in its best home
field performance and the Sec
ond-best game of the year. He
said they looked better against
New Bern's bears than at any
other time during the season.
Oxford came to Roanoke Rap
ids last Friday night as four
touchdown favorites and were
held to only a pair of scores,
one of them set up on a fun
bled pass that gave them
"break". Roanoke Rapids put
up strong defense against the
big, fast Oxford backs, however
the Jacket offense, which still
has not worked except in the
New Bern game, kept begging
down and the Jackets never
pulled off a serious scoring
! threat.
Against Greenville next Fri
day night the locals are expect
ed again to be on the upgrade.
The Greenies have been caus-
ing little trouble so far this sea-
son in Northeastern Conference
circles and if eagle does not
find his injury list mounting a.
gain as it has in the past couple
of weeks the Jackets will pro-
badly be favored to win the
game at Gceenville Friday night

with more than 40 more pros
