tion ever recorded in the state.
Fertilizer consumption in Ohio
was two and a half times as great
in 1949 as it was 10 years ago. In
1899, BAG, ,224 tons of fertilizer were
used on Ohio farms. Important in en-.
couraging this trend has been the
work of the state agricultural college,
For the entire United States the
1949 fertilizer consumption totaled
6,579, 900 tons. This was the high
est in history and exceeded the 1948
record by 623, 900 tons. More than
twice as much plant food was used
In the United States last year as in
1899, when the total consumption
was 7,707, 900 tons.
The steadily increasing use of fer
tlllzer on the nations farms in the
past 10 years is attributed to these
factors: CD Fertilizer has proved
profitable in boosting crop yields
per acre, cutting production costs
and increasing net income. (2l

For Farmers Lies
In Radio Address

Delivered over selected Ohio sta
tions, November 2
ANNOUNCER: The following
is a Transcribed message from
Senator Robert A. Taft to the
farmers of Ohio. Senator Taft
SEN. TAFT: The Political
Action Committee of the CTO has
now distributed to every rural
mailbox in Ohio three copies of a
scurrilous sheet, which they say
was prepared by the Farmers
for Ferguson Committee. The
first sheet named only two farm
ers. They were hardly known to
the farmers of Ohio. There is no
doubt that the sheets have been
prepared right out of the Political
Action Committee in Washington.
Every statement made against me
is taken from the CIO so-called
source book prepared months
ago and practically every state
ment is a direct lie. The sheet
talks about the expenditures in my
campaign. Why, the drawing, pre-
paration, and mailing of one of
these sheets that you have re-
ceived costs about $4,000 for the
State, SO that the CIO has put
$4,000 into this little project
alone. They have flooded the state
with all kinds of similar propa-
ganda, including comic books,
which indicate their low opinion
of the mentality of the people of
this State. That miscalculation has
already cost them many votes.
Both the Go and the AFL for
more than 16 months have been
raising a tremendous political fund
based on $500 a member-mil-
lions of dollars. William Green,
their president, said: Cost what
it may-we're going to bring
about the defeat of Senator Taft.
Well beat Taft with money"
In the last copy of the social
ed Farmers sheet, there is the us
uai number of lies and misrepre-
sentations. Mr.. Ferguson has said
that / am against human needs,
human welfare, human happiness,
and the common dream of man.

TAIPEI, Formosa, May 10
American officials and other for
eigners on the spot believe that
Chang Kai-shek can hold For
mosa indefinitely if-and it's a
big if
First. the Russians do not sup
ply too many planes and a cover
ing air armada to the Chinese
Communists for the invasion.
Second, the Nationalist can get
some requirements for the mill
tary equipment which will be de-
pleted in repelling the invasion.
The question Of holding For
mosa is as simple as this to the
men who are closest to the mill
tary situation on this anti-Com-
munist hastion. q bare 100 miles
from the China coast.
The Red China air force is not
yet very strong and the National
lists are not worried unduly by
the Communists 277 obsolete
planes, they say. But the Nation
alists are worried that the Rus
slams will step in and supply the
Reds with a modern, ready-made
air force.
Evidence that something like
this is happening is indicated by
Chinese Army intelligence reports
that the Russians already have
turned over 80 jet fighters to the
Communists Shanghai airbase.
So far, the Russians haven't
turned over any bombers to the
Chinese, but Americans says the
Nationalists are definitely scared
Of the Russian Yak-2l jet fight
ers and fearful it will mean the
end Of their air superiority.
Nationalist intelligence officers
claim that a total of $4,000 Rus
sian military advisers have now
arrived in China. About 5000 OF
them are said to be air force ex-
perts.
Admiral Charles M. Cooke, jr.,
retired, who formerly commanded
the United States 7th Fleet in
China, says the Soviets are estab-
fishing airfields all over China
and supplying the Communists
with expert gunners.
Although the State Department
already has written of Formosa
as lost, Admiral Cooke believes
the Nationalist can hold For
mosa as long as they wish-pro-
vided their economy holds up.
II believe we should pour equip
ment here in sufficient quantity
to match what the Russians are
doing on the mainland. Then 1t
will be an even fight" he says.
Admiral Cooke says the Ma
tionalists have been giving up the
smaller islands one by one to
conserve their equipment.
Up to now. Chiang's strategy
has been to let these small is
lands fall rather than risk rum
ming out of ammunition and mill
tary supplies before the big as

must be done now.
In that connection, almost
every other American on the is

The consensus seemed to be
that the next three months would
be critical for Chang and that if
he could get by this summer he
would be safe for at least another

ARGUMENTS
WITHOUT BLOODSHED
by kdeIa Rogers st. Johns
AUTHOR OF NEVER AGAIN AND oIHER STONES"
DEAR MRS. ST. JOHNS: How do you
feel about the conduct of an argument?
ANSWER: Arguments. being based on differ
ences of opinion, give us new viewpoints and
information. They often force us to clarity
our own convictions. They can also lead to
broken friendships family feuds and hurt
feelings.
In my large family and circle of friends
who differ frequently, vociferously and pas
sionately on everything from President
Truman to the T-formation in football, from
woman's place in or out of the home to
the care of roses, we've developed few
rules which allow the fun and benefit of
argument without the sleepless nights after
ward:
Be careful not to state opinions as facts.
Label what you say at once - This is in
the record book. " This is my personal
opinion If you state thing as fact, be
prepared to prove it.
ONcE fact is established by any recog-
nized authority, map, encyclopedia or cred
liable eyewitness, quit disputing it
Keep some polite phrases handy, such as
That's logical enough" or even just the
good old, Il see what you mean"
1t is always possible to follow these with
But taxing II step 1dltneI, or Dut
nevertheless it has always seemed to me,
or just plain BUT ="
Give the other fellow credit when he
scores point If you We lost round, admit it.
Never never, never permit yourself per-
sonal remarks or any reference to an oppo-
nent's weaknesses outside the argument.
This really leads to bloodshed.
Watch vo,,r voice No Use making il
constant irritant And if you have to get to
your feet, rise, don't leap.
Evening star., 1950-12-10

A pointed finger must be at least three
feet from the adversary's nose.
Try not to interrupt. This is tough, of
course. When you're talking, be sure you
return the floor to your opponent after a
decent interval.
If you're the older of the two parties,
don't harp on how much you know - so
much of it has been proved wrong. If the
younger, bear with the old fellows - all
history is valuable to YOU
Watch out for fiat statements If it's as
simple as that you wouldn't get anybody
to argue about it with you.
Be honestly kind about any sensitive per-
sonal prejudices or circumstances. If a man
has just lost his mother don't try to con-
vince him immortality is a myth.
When stalemate is obvious, end it quickly
before dull repetition turns into insult.
Hyou can't keep your temper, don't argue.
OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTIES are
fun, but remember you'll hare to
face everybody in day or t,cO. Read
Margaret Fishback's article next ,reek.
