(MPPEWMSS m M O TM By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member of Congress The long whispered stories about America's diplomatic difficulties tin China broke Into the open last week with the resignation of United States Ambassador Patrick Hurley, and the publication of his open charges that America’s Far Eastern policy was be­ ing sabotaged by State Department career diplomats. He -specifically 'charged his attempts to get China’s opposing factions to compromise their differences had been undermined and blocked by "double-dealing” State Be- partment officials, many of whom were seemingly interested in aiding the Communist group in China. As a result of Ambassador Hurley’s sen­ sational charges a full investigation of .a ll‘phases -of U.S. foreign policy, and the general -activities of the State Department, was started before the -Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate last Monday. Startling dis­ closures are expected to result there­ from. General George G. Marshall, who retired as Chief of Staff of the United States Army last week, after color­ ful ceremonies a t the Pentagon Build­ ing in which President Truman and many -high government dignitaries took> part, remained a civilian but a single day ., Within twenty-four hours after' his retirement he was called to the?WhiteiHouse and appointed as the new U.S.’ Ambassador to China, •to-succeed Patrick J, .Hurley, resigned.

The Bretton Woods Agreement, which was to solve the world’s monetary prob­ lems, haB been approved by but three nations and will expire on December 31st, Statesmen of many countries are predicting World War III is on |he way unless the United Nations Organization soon begins to function efficiently and well, or the Big Tbree- and especially the United States and Russia-reach a better understanding on world affairs. t Presbyterian Church To Be Rededicated IHMMmimiUllMIHIIM'Vfc j CHURCH NOTES j PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH .

FARM INCOME The 1945 income from farm market­ ings and government payments is now indicated at $21,200,000,000, about 3 percent more than the 1944 total. Receipts from sales of 1945' crops may be 5 percent more than the '44 income from that source and sales of live­ stock and livstock products may be slightly above thp 1944 total. Net income to farmers jn 1946 may decline as much as 15 percent from the 1946 lvel; but, even with that drop, the 1946 total would be more- than double- the prewar average .and would be higher than for any year prior to 1943. I COLLEGE NEWS The Presbyterian congregation, the services of which have been held at the college since September, is now occupying their church building, which has been redecorated during the time.

It is a plea- ure to watch young lives learning the ways of life. ■ SPRING PIG GOAL The goal for the 1946 spring.pig crop suggested as •a, guide for U.S, farmers is 52,000,000 head, which would be 11 percent less than the average for the past five years but would be about equal to the average crop ni the ten years proceeding the war. North central states are expect­ ed to have about 6,085,000 sows far- row_ next spring, with Iowa produc­ ing almost one-fifth of the 1946 spring pig crop.

METHODIST CHURCH QPpOgRS COMPULSORY TRAINING P r o t e c t Y o u r H o rn* f r o m T u b e r c u l o s i s The Methodist Church, through high officialdom, has gone op record a t a recent tnwtihg strongly opposing compulsory military training,!'main* taining it.is detrimental to the moral of youth of eighteen years of age. Mr, and Mrs, Lauris Straley, Fed­ eral Pike were hosts to members of McKibben Sunday School Class last Saturday evening with a farewell party for the teacher, Rev, W. P. Ghase, and, wife, who left Monday for Inglewood, Calif., where they will spend the winter with the former’s brother George Chase; and for Mr. and Mrs. T. g.

N arly -800 loads of cattle brought the top of $18 a hundred­ weight in Chicago, and 225 loads reached-that price in the first'week in November. Cattle moving into feed- lots have had a relatively large pro­ portion of cow’s and heifers, which in­ dicates plans of farmers to avoid long feeding period. PICKERS REDUCE LABOR Agricultural engineers at the Ohio State University say a farmer spends an average of 23 hours of man labor and six hours of horse labor to cut and husk an acre of corn by hand, but the man labor is reduced to three liQUrs and the horse labor to four and one-half hours when a 2-row corn picker is used in harvesting. FARMING DANGEROUS OCCUPATION Farming continues to be the nations most dangerous industry, the 1944 rate, being 53 per 100,000. Other in­ dustries -average an occupational fa­ tality rate of 35 pay 100.0QO, Farm machinery causes by far the largest, number of, accidents, about 56 per­ cent. Handling of livestock and var­ ious types of falls each cause 15 per­ cent. Over 6,000 accidents occurred in farm homes last year,, while 4,300 farm folks wore killed in motor ve­ hicle accidents, PLANT CORN CLOSER, WASTE LESS SUNSHINE Our traditional practice of plant­ ing corn in 40 or 42-inch rows, a pat­ tern probably set by the width of a horse, “wastes” a lot- of sunshine that would otherwise be used by growing crops. - * Spacing com in 42 inch rows,' 6 kernels per hill, would give 10,668 stalks per acre, assuming a perfect stand. With ideal ears, at One per stalk the yield would be about 110 bushels per acre, By contrast, corn planted in 38 inch rows, two kernels per ,hiU. 20 inches apart, would mean 16,607 stalks per acre. With 10 ounce oars the yield would be HQ bushels per acre. Even with 0 qunce nubbins, yield under this method 'would still bo nearly 135 bushels an acre, TIME TO HALT SOIL MINING Heavy cropping was justified dur­ ing the'war but it is time to reverse this process in soil mining. High- acre yields, tho key to efficient pro auction, cannot continue long on d« pletod soils no matter how good the weather may. be or how good a farm er may otherwise be, (Continued on Pag* th ree ) The YWCA Committal Service at the -Methodist Church last Sabbath night(was a; very impressive portrayal of .the -ideals of the organization. Miss Claire Stormont presided and the rendition of all parts was well done. A petition to the Throne of Grace that this beautiful service will not again be interrupted by the hor­ rors ofjyar should be lifted by every- one. Miss Helen McKenzie, an alumna of C.C., Springfield,. Ohio, was mar­ ried at her home last Saturday even­ ing to Mr,' John C. Beason of Xenia. The ceremony was performed by Dr. D.E. McKinny,. pastor of Oakland Presbyterian Church, Springfield. President Ira D. Vayhinger was the guest speaker for the Bellbrook Pres­ byterian Church last Lord’s Day morning. • William M. “Bill” Nagley, CC ’28, who has been in the .armed services of his country,has received his discharge from the Navy. Most of the time he was recreational director in the Pac­ ific area with headquarters on the Admiralty Islands. Before entering the Navy he was .teacher and coach in the Dayton school system. Prof, Clyde Walker, who recently returned from China where he served more than two years in the army medical corps, has been employed by the -local school' board to take the position resigned by Mrs. Mary Town­ sley Gibson, who has joined her hus­ band, Lt. Ernest Gibson, who is lo­ cated a t Pensacola, Florida. Clyde has had a rich experience since grad­ uation in 39. Popular teacher and coach, happily married to his college sweetheart, served his country three years on the other.side of the globe- isn’t that proof enough for the state­ ment? FARMERS GET LOMfERFRfCES Uncle Sam is going out o f the farmipg game, so fa r as finances are concerned, according to H R. Boyd, agricultural department extension service. Government guarantees will he lower, for 1946, possibly as low as the law permits, 90 percent of parity. Boyd stated that during the war prices of many farm products were supported — by government, guaran­ tees above parity to encourage crop production. He says for .1946 the only crop to be supported above parity will be sugar beets, sugar cane, flax seed, soybeans and dried beans. Boyd describes “parity’’ as follows: A theoretical price deemed by the government to -be. equally fair for producers and consumers. It is de­ signed to give farm commodities as much buying, power, in terms of non­ farm goods and services,.as they had. in a favorable base .period, usually 1909-1914. • ^ Editor’s note: Mr. Boyd, fails in trying to explain, parity price to state that prices in the 1909-1914 per­ iod were from panic years, followed by riots, labor union raids, burning , of factories by strikers, 'rail strikes and general unemployment- in all in­ dustrial centers. The New Deal-chose panic year prices as .a-base for parity on farm products in war time by regi­ menting the farmer. Now that labor produces what the farmer must purchase, and .is demand­ ing higher wages, the New Deal; once more regiments farm prices down­ ward so the farmer can pay more while receiving less for his crops. In the wods of the late A1 Smith, the New Deal parity is—BALONEY. 73rd Ohio State Grange Opens Monday Evening The 73rd annual Ohio State Grange opens in -Columbus, Monday, with a ' public reception a t the Deshler-Wal- lack, Joseph W.

England has protested against our manufacture of synthetic rubber once .he war is over that we might become the world’s largest purchaser of crude rubber grown on English owned plan* tations in the Pacific The result of local option elections in the state lost month has stirred the brewery interests and1,state liquor control.
