X l mmMm iM h. February 42,1943 A 1IMS1I H M M B M wm iffinN By CLARENCE J. BROWN .Member of Congress, Boventh Ohio District COtMT Mftm? I t has been proposed that the goy< eminent ship several hundred Japs, now In concentration samps in the. "waefei to aid Indiana farmers with their farm crop# this season.. The farmer# aroundGoshensre up"in the air 1 on the proposition. The; Rotary: dub, the’ Junior Chamber' of Com- merce, the American. Legion, Veter­ ans of foreign wars, Elks and bpth labor group# have taken concerted ac­ tion, Again the plan. More than that the farmer#, themselves do not flunk much of the plan. With all these groups*opposing Jap farm labor wh^t la McNutt,to do? He is a native of tha t state but both Republicans and Democrat# recall his ■New Deal ad­ ministration. and want ho more of it. - A week* ago McNutt wanted the bankers,! Store proprietors, physician# *and professional men to get' out their work clothe# and give the farmer a heeded lift when the time. came. The *’ Manpower bos# h it another idea that certainly wifi.appeal to farmers. He say# there are many -“hoboes in the country and these should he herded onto .farms far- harvest labor. The farmer# would--welcome any of these suggestions about as much as being forced to place some of the proposed ‘Mexican greasers’! in-the spare bed. -We -seem to he leaning more and more,to possible' events afte r the war *than -winning victory. The speeches the free-traderenre making indicates the old William‘Jennings Bryan rule of cheap foreign goods in this country to meet our own products is more im­ portant than, victory. With a Score or more' wanting to tax American la­ bor along with th'ewidow’S income to feed the world and then have England and ;oiher\European countries send- in gm . their products free, alt to be sold less than our own productsVis goftigttp stir up mOte trouble, than our rationing prdgram. - With our shirt tails shortened arid grandma’s night gown 1 reduced not only ;in .Width hut, length, the Sunday news following the morning services was rationing of shoes for all but -the‘bgbies, starting last Tuesday- It was a shock, to shoe'dealers. Now that spring, and summer.are’soon here we can, pH go barefooted like they do in Russia., The ladies are not to have a . Choice of colors and styles and no Wedding slippers to match the gown. No wonder one. of our tody friends expressed herself too vehemently,last . week when she stated she could not wait until thb.next Presidential elec­ tion to help’ campagin and Vote out what She- termed ‘.‘the rascals” down in Washington. She has more to fear than thate-there. might never be another election in this (country. We are now where Russia,- dermany and ■Italy found themselves when by de­ cree all elections were abolished after ' the dictators were once in power. To abolish election* would* be a very easy thinjr.when the local dic­ tator could assume the right to issue $650,000,000 in green backs without even asking, congress for such power. Moreover this money has neither gold, silver or even bonds to back it. When Germany started her printing presses turning out money after the first World war if was not long till value of the money dropped Until it took a million marks .to.get a loaf of breach Don’t be ■surprised Some of these day* when yoh hand the grocer one of the $feWDeal five, dollar bills, the inflation issue, that it will be put back in your hand. The grocer will tell yog the banker cannot take it at face value. The manufacturer Will not want it and certainly labor Will turn i t down. Prance had the same plan on issuing government bonds a f ­ ter the Dim; World war. Her money became Worthless and of course bonds did likewise. There are some in the na tion that We can name tha t .have nev­ er found wbuyer for French bonds or, the German marks that were jrarchas ed- with good U. S. money.

Such a transaction left a bad.taste in the farmer’s mouth. Now.he is purplexed whether to make. his own butter or let the calves do the milk­ ing..

An 800 or 1000 m m BOYLAND TRAIL By Fred M, Mandwdl There was a rambo appla ire* at the comer of the front yard, also, a blapk-beart ebarry the Rk* of-which have not seepia this region for mspy years. There was also a grape arbor, and. many old.-fs*hioned rose bushes, th* beauty and fragrance*of which I hay* yet to see. matched by any of the highly touted hybrids-of the present day. The pump was of wood, one of the hiccoughing type wlficih.always needed thawing out on frigid winter mornings and which rs^oirsd over its snout a cloth bag to, catch the water, bugs, There was another large .“early harvest”, apple tree>whose limbs- hung out over our summer kitchen and kept apples tumbling down ou^; roof each year with 1 never falling regularity. The wood-shed of bur house; was I glpomy, dirt floored affair with a oft textending out over a two-room' annex,' It just seemedt that Grand­ father had-’sort of a phobia to get the, dwelling and outbuildings all unddr one-roof.' To'do it; he resorted o as lot pf hodge-podge and ginger­ bread architecture. Anyway that woodshed loft provided a place fo r exploration .among; its dusty cobwebs and grimy comers.. It was also the i s a n u t R f f l g i m m m > m m m w pound calf that- had the association choice living quarters, for,- pigeons of its mother in pasture one summer with a ration of corn that fall would bring the owner $120 to $160 in the present day market. ■ Using the $150 as sale-price of the fatted calf the farmer, find# that is eqnal to 650 pounds of milk a t the low government price of $2.75 a’hun­ dred- pounds,for milk: The net profit in feeding the calf fa r exceeds the net received for the 1 550. pounds of milk. and “conserves labor” as our farmer friendt explains.
