FRIDAY, MARCH 27 , 1986 SENATOR PONAHEY HAS RIGHT IDEA Senator Vic Donahey baa suggested tha t the government should appropriate $10,000,600 to aid the victims in the Ohio valley flood territory. Whether the amount is under recent published estimates of the flood loss or not enough probably no one knows a t this time; The striking point made by the Senator' is that wh§t ever sum is appropriated should be turned over to the Red Gross and let tha t organization allocate the relief where needed. If such a sum was left to the administration to spend in the Ohio valley the first thing the New Dealers would do would be to list all the Democrat politicians and give them desk jobs where fifty per cent or more of the funds would go instead of to those in need, The Senator by this time has probably found out tha t his administration has enough party workers on the government pay roll without making places fo r any more. The experience Donahey has had in public office is probably the background of his statement tha t the Red Cross is the best organization for relief work. Few of those in need of relief would benefit if the gov­ ernment was to spend ten million dollars through political channels, irrespective of who constitutes the New Deal or for which it stands. I EMPTY WHISKY BOTTLE—DEAD CHIEF OF POLICE Its a short story, gasoline and liquor will not mix. . . Eight after-midnight celebrants in one car on the wrong side of the road ; an empty bottle of what had been state store liquor and side trips to dance-beer parlors brings the story up to—instant death of Police Chief Fred F. Kundts, Co­ lumbus on CCC Highway near Sabina., ' ’ Eye-witnesses to the tragedy confirm the story tha t cost the life of an innocent officer. The law of a state govern-, meiit the officer was sworn to enforce made illegal the tfse of liquor on the highway; but the, same state government through . a state liquor store sold the liquor that blinded the driver of the car that caused the accident. You will soon hear it said the officer was a t fault—ra drunken automobile driver could not be. When the George White Democratic administration put the state in the liquor business, Ohio with other states followed the RCusevelt New Deal for one more grand glorious drunk The prayers of the officer’s wi.dow and three young daugh­ ters over the sudden loss of husband and father will not be directed to any New Dealer.

There is much speculation as to what the new Soil Conservation pro­ gram will have in store for the aver­ age farmer. Already we hear of open rebellion in the south, where “crop­ pers” are said to - be .shared out. The owner’s of the worn out cotton land, millions of acres of land made useless by soil erosion, would profit by the proposed program . but tire tenant v/ould get nothing, We have received a press bulletin from a dairy organization that lists many objections to the New Deal set up to get ■around the dead: AAA., Evidently a lot of farmers are going to get fooled but will not know what it is all about until after, the coming election. The dairy interests say they have hundreds of millions invest­ ed in well improved farm lend, dairy cows and equipment and, under the New Deal must now face additional competition in the production of mainly dairy crops that will lead to millions of acres being turned to the production of milk and cream, thus breaking -the market and | making it impossible to earn a profitable income for thousands that liave a large dairy investment Our attention some days ago was called to the fact that the Grange has never been a supporter of the new plan. etc. He would grunt a little, while his insides were fairly shouting Fine! FINE!! . Afterwhile, he would hitch up; and with his. nose 45 degrees in the air; he would drive the longest way through town, and a t slow pace. And there were many admirers. Presently he would reach home; and the mother and children would come fluttering out with many “Oh’s and intensifying exclamations, as they climb over the shiny thing. And Father would look wise as if say­ ing—That’s one of Huffman’s best. I know where to get a good wagon! How places, things and names, once familiar, pass away. Huffman was once the busiest place in town. Not long since,.I asked a company of young man—‘lVhat is a jockey-stick? Not one could tell. ’ “Does it have tp do with horse- racing?” I asked also—-What is a stump shot? One said—"Shooting at a stump.” What is a blacksnake whip? How many Herald readers can answer? Perhaps Editor Bull will allow us to recall some of these old things of two . generations ago; many of them gone with no possibil­ ity of ever coming back, as Hand­ made, wagons. ,v. While Mr. Huffman specialized on Wagons of all kinds—farm; medium- tread, broad-tread and saw-log, he made buggies and carriages- Spring wagons were first called “Spankers,” because a chuck-hole would throw you up and the seat would spank you as you came down.

If the „seed la heavily Infested, a full cop of the disulphide or tetrachloride may ba used. After two or three days, examine the seed. If any insects are still alive, repeat the process. The seed should be kept in ytr tight containers until ready to plant, or insects will relnfeat I t When ready to p lan t spread out on the floor and the gae will evaporate In a short time.

Air slaked lime may also be used In treat grains for Insects. In treating quantities of seed, equal, parts of itme and seed may be used. For small amounts, the ratio of lime should be larger than that of the seed. Drouth Com Not Likely to Hurt Farm Live Stock There Is little danger of poisoning live stock by feeding drouth-damaged cornstalks If samples* tested a t 'the college of agriculture, University of Illinois, are typical of corn throughout the country, says Dr. Robert Graham, chief In animal pathology and hygiene. Innumerable Inquiries have been re­ ceived by the University of Illinois pathology laboratory relative to the possible poisonous properties of drouth corn, as well as Sudan grass, and ap­ parently many stockmen are afraid to feed either of these roughages. Of the many samples of auspicious drouth corn that hare been tested In the laboratory, not a single specimen has proved to be poisonous, Doctor Graham said. Although It Is knowp that sorghum plants can develop fata) amounts of hydrocyanic acid under ar­ rested growth, the danger In the case of corn seems to be rather doubtful. The poisonous properties of sudan grass have also been recognized dur­ ing certain stages of growth, but here again bona fide evidence of Injury when /Fed to live stock was not ob­ tained In one Instance. An experimen­ tal horse was fed the grass for a pe- rlod of three weeks without showing any 111 effects. Illness which may be mistaken for food poisoning Is sometimes caused'by too sudden change In rations, Doctor Graham points out. Huge Wheat Crop in Canada The 1034 wheat crop of Canada la officially estimated at 277,804,000 bushels. This Is an Increase of about 7,000,000 .bushels over the unrevised estimate for 1033, but fa considerably lower than tbe average for recent years. Previous to 1008 the smallest Canadian wheat crop in,the last ten years was 904,520,000 bushels In 1020; tho highest was over 500,000,000 In 1028. - The low 1034 production Is due mainly to unfavorable climatic condi­ tions in large areas of the western provinces where most of Canada’s wheat Is grown. The average wheal yield an acrerfor all Canada In 1034 In placed at lLe bushels, compared with a long-time average of 17,1. The esti mated production of other principal grains In Canada shows an Increase over the previous year, Oats are up about" 87,000,000 bushels, barley up about 5,440,000 bushels, rys up about 2.200.000 bushels, and flaxseed up about 400.000 bushels. Repeal is a blessing in disguise. Put over with no administration to enforce it, beset by lawlessness, assailed by \ falsehood, followed by a revel of drunkenness* adultery and crime, the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment has revealed as never before the curse of drink, and prompted its final and titter destruction.—A* P.

Although the acreage grown this year was about 50 per cent larger than was grown last year, the. chances are that, on account of thg drouth, more was cut for hay than waf the intention at the time the seed was planted. In this connection, do not overlook the fact that soy bean straw Is a comparatively nutritious forager- worth enough to make It profitable & save as much as possible. That there -will be an exceedingly strong demand for soy bean seed next spring cannot be doubted, first for the reason that It Is a most'excellent crop to grow on land contracted to the government, and, second, that it is one of the very best crops to grow, In chinch bug In­ fested areas.—Wallaces' Farmer, Damage by Meadow Mice The common meadow mouse is a harmless looking little ebap, but he is bad medicine for the farmer.
