CHESTER DAVIS AND HIS DEAD PIGS .Secretary o f Agriculture, Claude Wickard, lias been cast to the wolves as was Leon Henderson, both victims of the out­ come of their effort; to regiment the nation hn®J*” ? peart Communism. . Chester Davis, a New Dealer who had part In the pig slaying back in 1933 under Secretary ^enry Wallace and the- Supreme Court out-lawing the AAA , had a taste of public reaction and Roosevelt kicked Davis “ ^-stairs by giving him a Federal Bank job. Both Davis and Wickard have had their,taste of the Communistic influence in the De­ partment of Agriculture, all the work of Henry Wallace. Davis takes over the farm problem but with his hands tied behind his back. Farm leaders have tried this week to find out just how much power Davis is to have, They know how' and so does Davis that the same Communists are behind the scene with White House approval, Wickard has never been anything but “ window dressing” for the Bowery back- yard directors where actual farm labor is a Jiovelty* There is no. need of the Farm Bureau, Grange ,or any farm organization to fuss and’ storm about price fixing and long work hours with- out pay as returned in market prices. BothDavis and Wick" ard are the small-potatoes in the Roosevelt patch. If you want to be treated as a decent American citizen /worthy of :your hire, you had better direct more attention to the gentle­ man in the White House, “ Changing horses in mid-stream is poor policy” , so we were told in a recent political campaign. “ AND THE CHILD’S NAME SHALL BE— ” The New Deal has finally brought forth. • And what a baby! ' "" Its name is Aid— its full name is Federal Aid. ' - Federal aid for the ill and disabled— federal aid to - youths who want to go to college— federal aid and control for the extension of .social security-!—federal aid to local commun­ ities to build this and that— federal aid for the aged,blind— -federal aid for other groups receiving public assistance— fed­ eral aid for the guaranteeing of jobs to everybody— federal aid "in proportioning food after the .war— federal aid in the conduct of. business— federal aid for labor— federal aid in the operation of railroads— federal aid for labor— federal aid for deciding what and -Who should be in certain businesses after the w a r . ■ •" _ ■■■■■■■ 7 ■. ■ ■ Yes, sir, the baby’s name is’ Federal Aid. x What fools our forefathers must have been. The “ dunces” thought a man had to work, toil, sweat and use his. own private noggin for thinking. That was before the New Deal They didn’t know money grew on trees, What “morons” the Pilgrim fathers must have been. They went out into the wilderness, pulled down trees, built log huts, cleared the ground and tilled the soil— and it brought forth an abun­ dant harvest'and they established a-day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His. Blessings. Little, did they dream that all that wasn’t necessary. All they needed to have done, had they known it, was to have or­ ganized a federal government, and the government would have supplied their life of abundance. If they had only, in­ stituted federal aid— if only that baby had be ' born then— and they had looked to the government, what u lot of sweat they would have saved. That was before the New Deal and folks didn’t know any better. They, thought a life of abundance came from honest toil,' honest barter, wherein every man was privileged to the conquest of fife, liberty and the pursuit o f happiness. The New Deal is proposing in its latest postwar plan to do all that for us; The New, Deal would have Federal Aid, when itrgrows . up into full child and weds and brings forth Socialism, to look after, our lives, our happiness and our liberties— only there won’t be any liberties. . But why go out in conquest of life, liberty and, the pur­ su it of happiness when the New Deal through Federal Aid will look after the whole thing for you. All that is necessary is to set back and enjoy it. What a day— what dream— what tom-foolery, „ ^ Pardon* us, we gotta go to work— so will' mankind ever if. there is to be such a thing as an abundant life. The Lord Almighty needn’t get uneasy about His job. He hath said “ by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread,” and Federal Aid or no Federal Aid that it will, always be. But what a pity that the Social’ Security plan with its broad implications should have been submitted to the. Congress at this time.

With excess purchasing power in the hands of the people (who after all constitute the government) there was nothing that could stop what has been .termed hoard­ ing. The recent meat rationing is nothing but applying the old rule of “Self Preservation being the First Law of Nature” . , The New Deal acontrol of government now stands proven as the greatest hoarder of food and' meats. That such is true is proven by the fact packers have been given license to drop the quota killing for ten days, and this without danger of re­ ducing our army supply of meat. Under present control, “ lease-lend” probably is first with the New Deal even over our military or civilian supply. The government is charged with having a two year supply of canned fruits and vegetables now in storage. ♦ In the First World War the Democrats in control of the military purchased 500,000 branding irons for 35,000 mules, when one iron would brand a hundred or a thousand mules. But that is no different thah to purchase.50,000 sets of work harness for 19,000 horses, part of which would be for saddle purposes only. The public should make its own decision of ■ not only when they will eat, but what and how much, under the New Deal ,plan of farm scarcity, “ It Ain’ t Hay” Hated Funniest o l Abbott and Costello Comedy Hits At Regent 'v..

When Wendell Willkie ran on the Republican ticket in 1940 Indiana laid claim to Willkie aa a favorite son, Even Gon. Ballade made the nomination speech at the convention, Now that 1944 is nearing Indiana wants no- more o f Willkie. A poll has just been taken among the 1,000 ■Republican committeemen and 913 voted against Willkie. This news probably is more shocking to the Roosevelt forces than Willkie,* In­ diana Republicans now lean to John W, Bricker. It is well they express themselves against the New Deal internationalist, Willkie, Drew Pearson, noted radio com­ mentator may be put o ff the-.air, es­ pecially if he makes such comment as he did last Sunday night. Drew let a little light in on Mrs. Roosevelt and how .nine Southern Latin Republics felt even while Vice President Wal­ lace was spouting his second hand Spanish dialect, coaxing all to get in our lend-Iease, which comes out of the income taxpayers o f this country. A year ago these nine South American countries paid Mrs. Roose­ velt $1,500 weekly to broadcast the age o f coffee; A few weeks ago she gave a public 'statement where she urged FDR to drop the use o f coffee md drink milk daily and he was -en­ joying it more than coffeg. Now the question arisSs, “Has the milk trust financed a campaign to combat the use o f coffee?” While the nation is rationed and the White House is an “ institution" (FDR’s term) and not Subject to rationing, out comes the story that Mrs, Roosevelt was draw­ ing $1,500 weekly to sell coffee while the nation was being told there was a shortage. Now the truth is every coffee market in Ncrtli and South America is over-loaded wjth coffee, yet rationing continues just as it is in,Germany and RussiA Deal support at the expense o f th# taxpayers o f the^jiation. Food, mobs in New York City and Brooklyn do not sound much like bally-hop for Roosevelt and the New Deal. John X,. Lewis, head pf.the United Coal Miner#, appeared before a Sen­ ate Committee in regard to the pro­ posed coal strike and a new contract calling for $2 a day increase, Lewi# says little about a strike but he point# out law . and court decision# that without a contract the miners cannot trespass coal company prop­ erty. Roosevelt uses the lowly farm­ er as a goat to get around the Lewis demand. He would hold down and reduce farm prices to keep the epBt of living down so the miners cannot claim the cost of living calls fo r a wage increase. The New Deal is in plenty.of hot water these hectic days. Would it not be interesting if the Congress should require an official investigation into the New Deal tire tourists. Millions of good tires were turned over to the government weeks a go , on the plea more rubber was needed fo r the war effort. From re­ ports in circulation those who con­ tributed good tires have been as 'well as robbed from the checks returned. For instance one motorist says* he turned in an extra tire in excellent condition that cost him $10.50, yet the government only allowed him $2.40 for it. Another had an $8 tire and was allowed $1.25 for it. The used tire stunt, under the New Deal is a public disgrace and jio proof is be­ fore the public that i t was the gov­ ernment that profited financially by forcing-tire, owners to give up extra tires. ■, : > ...... Mi*. Pearson made an interesting prediction on the next presidential nomination fo r the Democrats. He ■lays FDR fears running again with­ out facing probatfte defeat at 'the hands o f his own party leaders. He says the solid .South will split' if Roosevelt is nominated with the re­ mit Sen, Byrd will head a Jefferson- Democratic ticket that would break ip the solid south and take several northern Democratic states with them dius electing a Republican. He even mentioned Jim Farley,’ national Dcm- ncratic chairman, as one o f the Byrd backers. Democratic papers might :omment on. the Pearson prediction. Mark Sullivan -in his column this week> places Governor John W. Bricker, at present leading all sug­ gested candidates as the Republican presidential nominee. Willkie is so busy trying to use this nation to pull foreign chestnuts out o f the fire, he will not have time to run for the nom­ ination. . He secured it before on a fluke with utility backing, which he probably could not get this time. The Utility boys know a “ dead-one” when they see it. ,1 ALONG FARM FRONT E. A. Drake, Co, Agricultural Agent YOUTH TO PRODUCE FOOD Greene County farm boy# and girl# are eligible to participate in « $9,- 000 .war' time food production and marketing contest sponsored by the National Junior' Vegetable Grower# Association, The program i# de­ signed to help offset critical adult farm labor shortages by -stimulating food production by workers under draft age. Registration blanks may be secured at the. county extension agents office and entries must be made within two weeks. We had quite a surprise one day this week when one of* our farm readers opened a discussion on the pay-as-you-go tax' and why in his opinion such a' law should* be passed. He cited the report that several thou­ sand organized'employees in a Cleve­ land1 plant did not file income tax returns while farmers were required to file and nuist pay because they have property, real and personal. That the New Deal administration policy was’ not to.his liking, we were told of how the income tax had taken quite a slice out of his' income last year a sum he considered unjust, be­ cause had it not been for the labor o f a son and daughter along with himself and,wife, the tax payment would have been less than fifty per­ cent o f what it was. Yet, as he says, the NevVDeal contends the labor of myself aqd family should not be :omputed in fixing parity prices' on farm products. & . The Iowa legislature wants to join other progressive states like Ohio, Michigan and Georgia, and adopt slow time to aid food production and re- m6ve a great inconvenience to the •average citizen. The lower House in that state has passed the bill backed by the farm interests. What a shock to Hen Wallace, who once boasted he held the state under his thumb. The voters have proven different the past some good,” jtwo ejections, ‘Hen* is not there any­ more. Anyway he could not use his newly adopted Spanish on^a state that has enough pride to stick to the En­ glish language and uphold American principles. Iowa cannot be sold the Wallace brand o f Communistic’ gov­ ernment. He pointed out the son could go to the army soon , or enter industry and draw one dollnr an hour for his labor. The daughter in another year could do likewise, or be-paid much more than she could earn on the farm. I clothed and fed both fo r a.year and yet could not take credit for any­ thing like what both cost-in the way o f decent upkeep, Before I will pay income tax at the rate it cost me for last, year, I can reduce my operations and probably will be compelled to do so, thus reducing' income. He stated the week previous he had sold two milk cows that went tp slaughter and there would be no more turkey* for "the wife to worry .about. When, we get a ceiling on eggs and chick­ ens *1 will reduce the poultry output. Continuing he said: “ It just burns me up when I hear about farmers not being entitled „to pay for their labor. If that goes,' then what’s the use of one breaking his back 72 hours a week to feed • labor drawing ten. or twelve dollars a day.’ ’ The govern­ ment will always find food for our army, but a little hunger might do certain New Dealers in Washington, A Dayton writer to the DSyton News wants to know why it is nec­ essary to force American citizens to take oleo if- they cannot get butter, while the New Deal sends butter by the million pounds to England and Russia, The writer might upon in­ vestigation find out that England and Russia under lease-lend want no sub­ stitutes, They have -learned they might just as well ask for the best even if it is a gift. Look up the New Deal ration chart. You will find “ points” for hog ears, pig snouts, pig tails, kidneys, and even chitterlings, (better known in certain quarters aa hog guts). We are to have a liberal supply o f this list for al] meat mar­ kets as England and Russia refuse to take -anything but the best joints (hams and shoulders). We recom­ mend liberal use o f tbe list to all 160 per cent New Dealers. And England wants boneless hams, none other.

The “ Little Flower” is said to realize that another .term for him is out o f the question. He has admitted the many blunders o f the New Deal and the.control o f New York now in the hands of Jim Farley, makes his political future uncertain,. For that reason FDR is to repay him for New The Saturday trade around local as well as city meat stores reminded us of the day before advent o f prohibi­ tion when everybody Stocked up, It is safe to preset that more meat was sold here last week, and especially Saturday, than any time in the his­ tory o f the town. It was amusing to meet peopie here from Xenia, James­ town, ..Springfield, London, South Charleston, South Solon, all lined up trying to get meat, It was inter­ esting to hear the comment not only from those who laid in a supply but those who were out o f luck. The '■supply was exhausted by 3 p. m. that iuy. 4 TheHout o f town trade on meat ’ms been very noticeable the past month. The home slaughter continues both or town ''people as well as those >n the farm. The situation has come, (ionic to city folks that the “ farmer cats first” before the city,, can get a rite. The Dayton News, which has ;n the past, termed the farmer as one who would bring on inflation by ask­ ing pay for his labor, appeals to the rural element “ not to eat more than oidinary but to leave a little fo r the rest o f us” , Probably the News has discovered the New Deal after all cannot put bread or meat on the table. Both must come from the farm, not Washington. FEED A FIGHTER “ Feed a Fighter” is the new nation­ al 4-H slogan. In Greene County there are about the same number o f 4-H club members as there are farm boys in the armed forces. .To make this slogan a success each member is asked to * increase food production enough to support both the member and the boy in the service. Food is ammunition and the new 4-H War Time Victory projects are outlined in a circular which has been furnished all. club leaders. Governor ■John W. Bricker has proclaimed the week o f April 3 to April 10, as Ohio 4-H Organization Week and ail'club groups are asked to .meet and select officers on or before April 10. The statement and .proclamation .by the Governor will be broadcast over VHIO April 3, at 12:15. V HORN HYBRID TEST- v- .. RESULTS AVAILABLE.; ' Results o f the official Ohio corn lerformance tests for 1942 are now available in Special Circular 66 of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta­ tion. The circular reports results from the more than 4,000 plots in 27 counties used to test 131 strains o f :orn in 1942. From the! 1942 comparisons, it is ;stimated that the 2,780,000. Ohio veres .planted to com hybrids yielded at least 22,000,000 more bushels o f (helled grain than they would have yielded • if planted to open-pollinated mrieties. • EASIER TO BUY LUMBER Higher priority ratings have been -ivetrfor the purchase o f lumber to >e used in productive farm buildings, These do not include construction of aew dwellings, garages, machine sheds or repair shops. - , • 30ST OF FEED The cost of 100 pounds of digestible cQUtrients is variable, depending upon "he feed from which they are ob- nined. The amount o f nutrients ‘rom Corn at 60 cents per bushel will lost $1.33, frm hay at $8.60 per ton ’lie nutrients will cost 85 cents, and from pasture the 100 pounds o f nu­ trients can be obtained for 25 to 50 :ents. SEED OATS EARLY Farmers who intend to plant oats this spring are urged to take extra pains to secure a good yield. Feeds of all kinds will be needed for live­ stock and labor is too scare to waste’ on partial harvests. Good seed is the big start; The Columbia and Gopher varieties are recommended for Greene County. All seed oats should be treated for smut. Early seeding is important to insure good yields. On tests over a period -of years at th& Ohio Experiment Statipn'the highest yield was obtained when seedings were made Match 2,2 toncJO.. Those planted a month later yielded 16 bushels less per acre. which kills the grub* before they { mature. A formula which gives good ( results l#12 ounces of finely ground derris or cube dust (5 percent roten- one content) two ounces neutral soap flakes and one gallon o f soft water. Thft formula Is sufficient to treat 12 to 16 adult cattle. Gasoline To Be Cut One Half According to a published state­ ment o f an OPA inspector in an Indianoplis paper, farmers and others in the mid-western states are doing an excessive amount o f auto driving. To keep the farmer on the farm at work, and his family as well, it is re­ ported the use o f gasoline for all “ A” cars is to be cut one half. The No. 5 coupons must be made to cover all “ A” driving until some time in July. In as much as a good part of the “ A No. 5” coupons have no doubt been used now, many will be back on “ their feet” when the new order goes into effect. ' ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT CANNED GOODS No more canned apples, applesauce, figs, grapefruit segments, blueberries, orange juice, beets, carrots, pumpkin or catsup will be made available for civilian use after present stocks are sold. Uncle Sam will take 58 percent of green beans, 56 percent o f lima beans, 46 percent o f com, and 48 per­ cent o f tomatoes from the 1943 pack.
