CONSIDER FALL
IRRIGATION NOW

Fall offers a good chance to get
a number of irrigation jobs done
and they may be started as soon
as this seasons crops r harvest
ed.
One of these jobs, is to fall
pillow heavier soils SO that a good
firm seedbed can be established
in time for early spring seeding.
Fall is also a good time to do
any land leveling while the fields
are dry. Land leveling in the
spring is not too satisfactory since
fields may remain wet for so long
it may be too late to plant a crop
after the land is leveled.
Many farmers also find that fall
is a good time to give their fields
a good irrigation to fill the soil
reservoirs with moisture. This
may be done any time after the
crops are off and up until freez-
ing weather. However, it is usually
best to do the fall irrigating before
October Is.
Hay and pasture crops that
make some fall growth will bene-
fit from a late irrigation.

vITAMIN C

vITAMIN c
"An orange a day is the vita
min c way" is a rhyme all of us
| should keep in mind. An orange a
day-or its equivalent-provides
the vitamin c recommended for
maintaining good nutrition.
In a food consumption survey
among over 5000 families, one in
four families did not receive re-
commended quantities of vitamin
c. Except for calcium, vitamin c
was the nutrient most often lack
ing in diets.
Citrus fruits are thick in vita
min c and a days supply is avail
able in one average serving of an
orange or grapefruit half. This
vitamin is also contained in can
taloupe, strawberries, potatoes,
peppers, turnips, and rutabagas.
Or you a choose vitamin c foods
such as tomatoes, vegetables of
the cabbage family such as broc-
coli, brussel sprouts and cabbage,
or in green's such as spinach, mus
tard and turnip green's. Some of
these do not supply the amount of
vitamin c needed daily.
vitamin C is not stored in the
body. That is why it is so i'm
portant to get a regular day-to-
day supply.

CRITICAL SEASON FOR
PREVENTION AND CONTROL
OF RURAL FIRES HERE
by Dean c. Davidson

IF a grass or grain field fire
breaks out on your place tomor.
row, would you be prepared tc
fight it?" Remember that from
now until fall rains come will be
the peak of the fire season.
Every precaution will be need
ed, to prevent fires from starting
as vegetative growth cures UP and
becomes more combustible. This
year there will be a considerable
amount of cured range vegetation
and heavy grain stubble over
most of Richland county, so extra
care must be taken to prevent
heavy fire loss.
Among the steps for the pre-
vention and control of range and
crop fires are these:
Be extra careful that all cigar
cites and matches are dead out.
Equip the exhausts of all trucks,
combines and other motorized
equipment with spark arresters.
Plow new fire guards or scarify
old ones around grain fields or
across the range, especially areas
bordering highways and railroads.
II the farm has a power weed
sprayer, keep the tank filled with
water and hoses and noZzles ready
for immediate use. Sprayers make
excellent fire fighting equipment.
Have blackjack pumps, mat
tocks, heaters, shovels and other
fire fighting tools in a handy
place and ready for use.

SEWING MACHINE
TENSION

1t is wise to test the tension
of your sewing machine before
beginning to sew. Here is one
easy way to make a test before
stitching on the garment.
Use a six inch piece of material
left over from cutting. Fold it
into a triangle and stitch one-half
inch from the fold, along the true
bias. Pull the stitching line evenly.
If it looks even and if both threads
break at the same point, this
means the tension, the pressure
on the presser foot and the length
of the stitch are in balance. They
need no further adjustment.
However, if the top side of the
stitching looks tight, loosen the
top tension. If the under side of
the stitching looks tight, loosen
the tension on the bobbin case
but only slightly. After adjust
ments, test the stitching again and
keep adjusting it until the stitch
is in balance.
Remember, too, that the pres
sure on the presser foot should
vary according to the weight of
the fabric. 1t is regulated by a
screw at the top of the machine.
When you begin sewing, the di-
rection of the stitching must be
considered. 1t is important since
it may affect the fabric grain on
bias and rounded edges.
For instance if you are stitching
x.- --~1xl.-@ &--x -
shoulder with the stitching meet
ing at the center. When sewing
bias seams, stitch from the wide
part of the garment section to the
narrow part.

SOME 60 FREE
Paradox Of the Turncoots

BY an ironic twist three Of
the 81 turncoats decided to
come home at a time when
the 10th case was being liti-
gated. These men, former
Corpls. Lewis w. Griggs Of
Jacksonville. Fla; william
A. Cowart of Monticello. Ark,
and Ohio G. Bell of Hills
boro, Miss, were taken into
custody by the Army after
their arrival in the United
States.
Subsequently all three were
released and no action was
taken against them. They
had been discharged by Sec
rotary Wilson, and the 10th
decision now made it impos-
sible to try former military
personnel for acts committed
during their time Of service.
Article 3 of the Code Of Mil
itary Justice was, in effect,
of the books.
Seek Their 'Poy'
Making the situation even
more of a legal nightmare,
the three turncoats. Griggs,
Cowart and Bell, filed suit
early this year for pay and
allowances from the time
they were taken prisoner in
Korea until Secretary Wilson
gave them dishonorable dis
charges. In their suit now
pending before the United
States Court of Claims, Bell
is asking $3.50 in pay and
allowances, Griggs. S4,071,
and 'Cowart. $5.057. Should
the petitioners be successful
the United States stands to
pay out nearly $4,000 to
these three who remained in
Red China.
In the years since Cowart,
Bell and Griggs came home,
others have followed them
eight in all. Twelve of the
original 81 are still with the
Communists, one member of
their group having died.
With none of the 81
brought to trial it is impos-
sible to compare their coll
laboration with that of Dick
enson and Bachelor. It is
a fact. however, that Dicken.
son and Bachelor were serv.
ing time in the United States
while the 81 others were still

SOME co FREE
BY RICHARD wATHEN

An ironic paradox involv-
ing United States soldiers
who detected to the Commu-
nists in the Korean war is
brought to mind by a recent
Army announcement that on
November "a former Corpl.
Edward S. Dickinson, who
became known as the turn
coat from Crackers Neck.
Va. will be eligible for re-
lease from prison.
Dickinson was the first of
the CTS who had decided to
stay with the Reds after the
war to change his mind and
come home. That was dur
ing the prisoner switch after
the armistice agreement Of
July 81, 1858. His return
was followed shortly by that
of former Corpl. Claude
Bachelor of Kermit, Texas.
Twenty-one other United
States servicemen remained
with their Communist cap
tors.
The. paradox - and the
irony-is that had Dickinson
and Bachelor chosen to stay
a few weeks longer behind
the Bamboo Curtain they
might have avoided prison.
That is what others who fol-
lowed them home have done.
But both Dickinson and
Bachelor were brought to
trial by Army court-mar-
tial in 1854. Dickinson got
10 years confinement, sub
sequently reduced so that he
may be released next month.
Bachelor received a life SEN
tence, later shortened so that
he may be eligible for re-
lease in 1861. Significantly,
in view of what was to hap
pen with later returnees,
Dickinson and Bachelor re-
ceived their dishonorable
discharges from the court
martial boards before which
they were tried. The others
got them from Secretary of
Defense Charles E. Wilson
personally.

showed up back home. Mean
time, Secretary Wilson had in
January Of 1854 ordered dis
honorable discharges for all
of them. The Secretary's ac-
ton was taken against the
advice of the Army's Judge
advocate general. but he was
supported by President Ell
senhower and his ruling was
upheld.
While many authorities on
military law insisted that a
dishonorable discharge could
only be given by a court
martial, it seemed safe to say
that the American public ap-
proved of what Secretary
Wilson had done.
Also in support of Mr.. Will

that these 81 turncoats were

The crucial difference be-
tween the situation of Dick

that of the 81 who remained
behind might not have de-
veloped had not a decision
come down from the Supreme
Court in 1855 which was to
upset the validity of Article 3
of the Code of Military JUS

1t was handed down in the
10th case, which did not in
volve a prisoner of war but a
former Air Force sergeant
accused after he had been
honorably discharged of hav-
ing shot a Korean national
while on duty. Seemingly
this had nothing to do with
turncoats in Red China.
But in the 10th case the SUI
preme Court ruled that the

thority to court-martial dis
