out that money cannot be
made unless we get an in
creased yield per acre. You

SO far, he said. Mr.. Olson then
mentioned the fact that he
had secured the services of an
expert from Puerto Rico. In
stead of planting cane 80 to "a
inches apart they. are being
planted II inches apart. He
was told that fertilizer could
not be used successfully here.
During the past year all Woo
fields received 800 punds of
commercial fertilizer. AS a re-
suit the supervisors and others
experienced in sugarcane cul-
tivation estimate that the
the yield will be better than
20 tons an acre and then con-
tinue right on until they can
get 80 tons per acre.
He then said that unless
farmers can get more than 10
tons per acre they are licked.
! Mr.. Olson then told his aud
fence Of the experiments
with drought : resisting cane
from Barbados. AS the Cor
poration meets with success on
each project he promised that
an expert will be detailed to
assist any farmer who makes
the request for aid in improv-
ing his crops and in planting
short crops, free of cost.
Mr.. Olson mentioned the
plan to bring in experts
from other areas to find out
what other crops can be grown
here at a profit to the farmers.
This would assure an income
to them all year. round,
he indicated.

the workers that not a man or
woman will lose his job. He
pointed out, however, that
there are not sufficient workers
during the crop to do the work
therefore experiments are be-
ing made with a loader.
He then thanked the people
on behalf of Mrs. Olson and
himself for the hospitality
shown them since their arrival
here. Heavy applause greeted
Mr.. Olson as he finished his
speech.

all the success in the world.
Mr.. Olson then said he
would like to discuss how we
can use the soil to our advan-
tage. How we can create big

find the answer we can get a
better standard of living for
everybody.

After Failing in First
Test, Magazine Says

NEW YORK, July 5.-Andrei
Y. Vishinsky is on the way out
as Russia's foreign minister, the
United Nations World said yes
terday.
The United Nations World is a
magazine devoted to international
and U. N. affairs. but has no con-
nection with the U. N.
In its July issue the magazine
says Mr.. Vishinsky made an un-
qualified failure in his first crucial
test as Soviet foreign minister and
his standing with the powerful
Politburo went to its lowest point
Two Incidents Cited.
Quoting "the most authoritative
diplomatic sources" the magazine
said these two incidents during
the recent Foreign Ministers Con-
ference in Paris confirm the re-
port of Mr.. Vishinsky's fall from
his high standing:
81. Vishinsky, eager to have
Stain act as his pilot when the
U. S.-U. K.-French diplomats
thwarted his early optimism,
failed to get through to the Soviet
Premier by phone. despite frantic
round the-cloc efforts.

private dinner when Secretary OF
State Acheson was present, Wish
insky's customary aplomb was OBJ

placed by uncertainty and anxiety
He conveyed the distinct impress
sion that he was dissatisfied with
his own performance in the diplo-
matte sphere and stated. in SO
many words, that he would prefer
to devote his energies to his life
time vocation, Jurisprudence.
French Treaty Hinted.
The magazine says Mr.. Vishin-
sky in most diplomatic language
limited to French Foreign Min
Iister Schuman that the Soviet
Union would welcome a French
Russian pact similar to the 1885
accord between Prime Minister
Stain and Pierre Laval.
The yelled invitation was said
to mean that Russia would dis
sociate herself as sharply as pos
sible from activities of the French
Communist Party If France would
vote, from time to time at least
with the Russians in the Foreign
Ministers Council.
The magazine said the Offer
never was directly made and Mr.
Schuman never had chance tt
refuse it outright. but that Mr.
Schuman left no doubt that
France would remain in close as.
