The three charged with appoint
ing his successor are, under Ohio
law, Probate Judge John w.
Daley, Recorder Lawrence B.
Rhoads and Auditor Frank T. Nc
Curdy. They are the same men
who, in l943 named Mr.. Earring
ton to fill the vacancy created by
the death of the late Gail Spain,
of Washington Township.
C. o. P. To Reccomend Man
Judge Daley announced last
week he and his two associates
will follow exactly the same pro-
cedure this time that they did in
naming Mr.. Harrington, by ask
ing the Republican Executive
Committee to Recommend some
one to them for the position.
Accordingly, anyone interested
in filling out Mr.. Farrington'S
unexpired term as Commissioner
must first submit his name to f.
L. Price, Broadway, county G. o.
P. chairman, or other members Of
the County Committee. The Com
mittee will not make any recon-
mendations until after April /.
Mr.. Harrington, whose death
occurred suddenly last Thursday,
of a heart attack, was first ap-
pointed Commissioner in l943,
then elected to fill out the short
term in 1914. He was reelected
to a full 4-year term in Novem-
Der, 1916 and this term does not
expire until Jan. l, 1851.
Many Seek Job
At the time of Mr. Spain's
death, the County Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee recommended
Mr.. harrington from among a
field of several applicants, and
the three county officials accept
ed the Committees recommends
ton.
As was the case at the time of
Mr.. Farrington's appointment,
there are already several appll-
cants for the vacancy now.

Wheat Men Face Drop
In Income this Year
Wet Autumn Cuts
Total Acreage,
Grain Price Down
Still Further Loses
Possible on Late-Sown
Fields, Greeneisen Says

Union County's farmers face a
considerable" reduction in reve-
nue. from wheat this year, accord
ing to information from County
Agent Frank Greeneisen, with
possibility of still further loss If
growing conditions this spring are
not ideal.
The income, however, will still
be much greater than wheat
growers had before the war. Two
factors are responsible for the
known price decline:
/. The extremely wet wealth
er of last fall kept many farm
ers from getting wheat in the
ground at all. Mr.. Greeneisen
is unable to state just how much
less wheat acreage there will be
this year than last. but said it
was a substantial" amount.
2. Price of wheat is consider
ably less than it was during the
war years. Once as high as So
per bushel. wheat men hope"
that the price will be around
So this year. the County Agent
said. 1t will. however. take
government support price to
hold il at this level. he added.
Another factor which may cut
the total income still further, Mr..
Greeneisen pointed out, is how
much of the late-planted wheat
will develop. Right now, he said,
it is not looking too good"
Many farmers normally wait
until their corn and soybeans are
harvested in the fall before plant
ing wheat. Because it was so wet
last fall, corn and soybeans were
harvested late (much is still in
the fields, for that matter) and
the wheat planting was still lat
Cr.
Third Planted Late
About one third of the total
crop in Union County was planted
late, Mr.. Greeneisen estimates,
and consequently it did not get
enough of a start TO carry it
through the open winter. Febru-
ary with its repeated freezing and
thawing, was especially hard on
the late-sown grain.
Most of the late wheat is
brown at the present time, and it
depends upon the spring weather
how it will turn out. A warm
and moist April would be desired
for this purpose" Mr.. Greeneisen
said.
The wheat that got into the
ground in time to get a good start
last fall is in very good condi-
ton" he added.
Alfalfa Also Hit
Another crop which has been
especially hard hit by the open
winter, according to the Exten-
sion Agent, is alfalfa. In many
instances, plants are laying or
top of the ground, and where this
has happened, it will be almost
impossible to recover the crop
he declared.
Mr.. GreeneiSen said that hum
us in the ground is a big factor
in growing alfalfa, and where the
humus is gone, it is difficult t
hold this important hay crop ov
/ er the winter.

Psyehiatrists Warn
Fear, Greed Emotions
Will Lead 10 War

The American Psychiatric Associ-
alton today warned leaders of the
United States and other nations
that emotions of fear and greed
will lead to a third world war un-
less they are curbed.
The association, representing $500
psychiatrists, issued the warning in
q statement 1t said was occasioned
by worldwide tension over interna-
tional disagreements, among popu-
lations as well as national leaders.
Basically, the association said
there are only minor differences in
citizens Of various countries.
THE friendly kindness of the
common people, their willingness to
work for the common good, their
love of their children and their
homes, their diligence and their
self-sacriflce-these virtues and val
ues are shared by nearly all people
in all civilized countries" the state
ment said.
Self-Scrutiny Urged.
But If the common man begins
to fear he may lose these values
by aggression from with
out or unfair propaganda from
within by unprincipled leaders,
citizens can be induced easily to
hostile feelings, the statement de-
clared.
They may develop anxiety and
fears and even incorrect beliefs
about he common people in other
countries" it continued. In the
unsuccessful efforts to overcome
these fears and sense OF insecurity
actual warfare may result"
TO eliminate war, the association
said, leaders must make rigid self
scrutiny of national motives" re-
fuse to give spurious rationaliza-
ton for unfriendly behavior" and
sublimate the personal aggressive
hostility. which is present to some
extent in every one"

Urging support of the World
Health Organization and UNESCO
as groups attacking these problems
on an international level, the as
sociation stressed that its statement
was offered as IAN objective med
lcal document. not as a political
criticism of any nation"
The statement, prepared by the
associations Committee on Interna-
tlonal Relationships. was directed
to leaders because they so largely
guide the feeling, thinking and be-
havior Of the general public" 1t
added:
I'VE would point out that mutual
confidence between leaders Of the
people in all countries, combined
with mutual honesty, mutual for

Mulch, Sod, Manure
Help Apple Orchard

A combination Of sod, mulch, and
poultry manure, with the mulch
applied to the tree, and the manure
applied to the sod, is a good prac-
tical program Of apple orchard
management.
Recent tests by the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station have
shown that two management pro-
grams resulted in better tree
growth than the use Of cover crops
or sods did One Of these practices
was straw mulch applied to the
trees. The other was the use of
soybeans and poultry manure.
According to Professor G.. NJ.
Gilligan, who took part in the
work, the experiment was carried
on in a young apple orchard Of the
Georgetown Substation. Varieties
included in the test were Golden
Delicious, Richard, and Red Stay
man.
The scientists point out that the
use of poultry manure as a sub
stitute for nitrogen resulted in bet
ter tree growth. 1t was compared
with a complete fertilizer, CONNER
cial nitrogen, and various cover
crops and sods. Sod culture result
ed in less tree growth than cover
crop programs.

have just been published in Circu-
lar No. "a by A. L. Kenworthy and

Note to Mats: Bucs May Be 9th,
But They Don't Act Like 1t

The Pittsburgh Pirates, who
will face the Mats in an exhibi-
ton game tomorrow night at
Griffith Stadium, lately have re-
sembled anything but the sixth
place club they are in the Ma
tional League.
The Mats, on the other hand,
got off to a fine early start, but
at this stage very much resemble
the seventh-place club they are
in the American League.
The contest. which brings the
two clubs together here for the
first time since the 1925 World
Series, will be staged for the bene-
fit of Attorney General Tom
Clark's juvenile delinquency fund.
All the ball players will work for
free, with the Pittsburghers even
paying their own way down.
Had the Pirates got of to a
better start, they probably would
find themselves thick in the Ma
tional League pennant fight. For
there is nothing disgraceful about
the .568 mark they have reeled
off since June S. On that date
Pittsburgh had won only Is games
and lost 27 for a .372 mark.
