There we're indications of rack
Ieteers attempting to tamper with
the courts and the Legislature.
Costello admitted helping a
magistrate get the nomination for
the New York Supreme Court
bench. There was testimony that
an ambitious assistant district at
torney asked Costello to put in
a good word for him at Tammany
Hall, got his promise of support
and was later appointed by the
then Mayor ODwyer to a SIS, ,000-
Ia-year job as justice of Special
Sessions Court.
There was the worried state
ment of a Florida judge that
judges are afraid to antagonize
the racketeers for fear racket
money will be thrown in to defeat
them in the next election.
And there was the peculiar fate
of the paddock suits in Louisiana.
"A group of citizens tried to close
down the gambling clubs through
these suits. The lower court
Judge held the suits unconstitu-
tional but the Supreme Court of
Louisiana ruled the suits were
Constitutional and sent the cases
back. The same performance was
repeated three times. Finally, a.
new judge was appointed to the
Supreme Court and the higher
court, which had previously been
unanimous, suddenly had three
judges reversing themselves. With
the new judge, that made a ma
jority of four holding the suits
unconstitutional. The clubs stayed
open.
AS for the State legislatures,
Ohio Governor Lausche recalled
that as a judge on the Common
Pleas Court bench, he issued the
search warrants that resulted in
the closing of a number of gam
bling clubs. Then, he said, "those
in charge went to the legislature"
and the legislature changed the
law to remove from judge of
Common Pleas the power to issue
search warrants.
And there was testimony from
New York State police, among
others, that they reported wide
open gambling operations and
waited for instructions that never
came. Political influence" must
have gotten involved, they sur
missed.
When racket money goes into
politics. the policeman down the
line faces these choices: He can
stick out his hand. too. Or he
can shut his eyes to the gambling
around him. Or he can make a.
gambling raid on his own hook.
That raid may cost him his
job or mean a transfer to the
sticks. And that's quite a price
to pay for a case that may never
come to trial.

Nine Year Potato Research
Shows Startling Results

Nine years of research on late
planted potatoes has just been
summarized by the plant pathology
department at the University of
Delaware. DR.. j. w. Heuberger,
chairman of the department, said
that in these nine years they have
continuously tested fungicides on
late-planted potatoes. Figures
show that the yield of plants treat
ed with Bordeaux mixture, fixed
copper sprays, and zineb show a
significant increase over untreated
potatoes. The increase, over the
untreated plants, are Bordeaux, 80
percent; fixed coppers, % percent;
and zineb (Dithane or Parzate), Sc
percent.
Said Heuberger, these figures
show that good yields can be pro-
duced on fall potatoes in Della
ware, once the disease problem is
licked. Perhaps now he comment
ed, we can bring some of the fall
potato acreage back to lower Della
ware.
The fact that potatoes were SER
iously afflicted by late and early
blight made them good research
tools for screening and testing new
fungicides, Heuberger explains.

Proper Machinery Storage
Means Farm Savings

Weather wear Is the greatest
cause of farm equipment repair
bills. BY storing equipment as
soon as it is used for the last time,
machine life can be heightened,
and repair bills cut down consider
ably.
Earl A. Grouse, agricultural en-
gineer with the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service, gives these
storage tips.
Shed storage is the best, says
Grouse. If outdoor storage has to
do on your farm, the machinery
should be protected from winds.
Preparation for storage includes
cleaning, inspection for broken
parts, fabrication, and application
of rust preventive compounds to
exposed metal parts. AL tarsh,
dirt, and grain should be removed.
Fertilizing equipment should be
thoroughly cleaned and covered
with used crankcase oil where
metal contacts the fertilizer.
The whole machine should be in
spected; loose bolts frightened;
necessary adjustments made, and
repairs listed for "rainy day" work.
Grouse recommends ordering need
ed repair parts as soon as possible.
With steel supplies tight, there
may be delays in getting new
parts.
All belts and canvas should be
removed, cleaned and dried, and
suspended from dry ceiling. This
prevents deterioration by sunlight,
weather, and rodents. Used bal
ing wire comes in handy for sus-
pending these parts. Check gear

Miss Pearce said that the prof.

Sewing screens are made from two
wooden frames, covered with fab

for sewing equipment, and fold
ing shelf. The whole is portable
and can be put away or set up very
easily. These handy screens elm
mate much of the inconvenience of
sewing in homes where a special
room is not available.
New fabrics and finishes should
also be practica. A multitude of
