Only the mest foolhardy labor lead-

PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT
What is the matter with cur so-
called business and political lead-
ers who chant: “Capitalism has one
mere chance,” or, “Private enter-
prise has one more chance after the
war,” or we will have 2’ totalitarian
goverment? Do they really believe
what they say? If so, they beiter not
advertise their panic.
We are fighting a war to preserve
freedom. We wouldn't he licking the
Axis if we would surrender the
right to say and do what we please,
and raise our families as we please,
because someone promised to fill cur
stomachs.

DESERTERS, WHAT ELSE?
The head of the American Legion,
in addressing labor leaders, said that
a man whe lays down his tools on a
war job to strike is just as guilty of
an act of treason as a soldier who
deserts his post of duty.
Labor leaders bitterly assailed
this viewpoint, but their arguments
are unconvincing, Morally, it is no
less treasonzble for a man to throw
down his toels which provide a sol-
dier with equipment to fight than
it is for the soldier to throw down
Lis weapons and refuse to fight.
Strikes cannot justify desertion of
war jobs. In leaving their posts,
they are traitors to a common cause,
even though they enjoy immunity
from punishment such as would be
meted out to soldiers who desert.

AN INVASION
.Up in Maine several bears have
invaded a village and done damage
to the poultry, sheep and pigs of the
commurity. The residents have had
te establish a night watch and still
the bears are getting livestock. They
have chased sheep into the town
and a man to his doorstep. We then
read of a woman in Texas going out
on her front porch and finding a
wolf asleep in her perch swing! A
reader suggests that the two stories
might be credited to the animals
suffering along with us in the meat
rationing and that they have their
own way of running a black market.
Bat with a shot gun handy the bear
is running a pretty big chance, for
he would save some red coupons in
steaks. War is no respector of the
animzl kingdom, man or beast.
AN EQUAL INCOME?
Here are a few facts to think
about when you hear someone speak
of equalizing the income eof the
whicle world, in the peace that is to
of this country is 36 per cent of the
TOTAL income of the entire world.
Although we have only six per cent
of the population of the world, we
have 30 per cent of all the nation’s

THE EDITOR’S VOICE
FACING FACTS
There has been a change of policy
with regard to the showing of pic-
tures in both press and films of fa-
of planes, ships and tanks. It was
formerly felt that pictures of our
dead and injured wouldn't help the
public merale, that it was unneeces-
sary to pour on them the fact that
losses can be suffered by beth sides.
But new the policy is being given
an about face. Due to too many
Americans feeling that the war is
about ever that we are just “clean-
ing up,” women are guiting vital de-
ferse jobs, excuses are made for not
buying bonds, production is slowing
up. Sx our government feels we
need some of the herrible details to
remind us, to keep us remembering
that the war is far from over. We
have ster: pictures of our advances,
can we take our rewerses, the pic-
turcs of boys on stretchers in jun-
gles, paratrocpers lying in groups as
they were mowed down, our ships
sinking. It is true, it has been a fact.
Here we are working to put an end
to the pictures by working to end
the war.

INDIAN SUMMER AGAIN
Folks here still find time to put
faith the yearly argument and fol-
low it with active debate, as to
when ard if en Jrdian Summer!
There are always sides, those who
claim it has been in October, those
whe awszit it 2lways in November,
those who insist it fell in September
this yeas, and these who think it’s a
silly belief in the first place. But a
non-believer must be told again the
Indian story and of how the red
men started the whole business in
the first place. At least, Indian Sum-
mer bears his name and we look to
kim for the reason. It goes that the
good, thrifty Indians tock advantage
of the fine days in early autumn and
kept busy harvesting their craps for
the leng winter to come. But the
lazy Indians who would rather go
fishing, hunting and sleep, insisted
that celd weather would wait for
them. According to the folk legend,
the Great Spirit decided to show
these indolent fellows a thing er
iwo, and had Jack Frost touch the
earth to awcken them. How they
bewailed ard heseeched for another
charce to gather theis crops, and the
generous Great Spirit sent them
their opportunity in Indian Summer.
But this is not what the Indian him-
self calls it, for he speaks of the
days as “the lazy ‘farmer’s chance.”
Not only those Indians were putting
off until finer weather ahead. Even
today you will find folks putting off
the garnering of crops until the very
last. They still depend upor Indian
Summer to see them through. But
the wise farmer, the one who stud-
ies weather ard his fields, knows
that you can’t depend upon this sea-
son to come at zany certain time, if
come it does. Killing frosts won't
hold back for an Indian legend, you
know.

Enlisting Idle Acres
For Food Production
New Goals Demand Full
Use of Available Land
Getting idle acres back on the job
is ‘high on the list of “must” activi-
ties for the farmer-committeemen of
the Agricultural Adjustment agency
during 43. Stacy
With production goals adding up
to a tremendous total in food and
fiber, maximum use of all agricul-
tural resources will have to he em-
ployed to meet minimum demands
for farm products, Secretary of Ag-:
nounced. Land as well as machin-
ery, labor and other tocls of produc-
tion is included in the department of
agriculture’s program.
As with other aspects of the
Triple-A farm plan, each com-
munity will do the job of enlist-
ing its own idle acres and idle
farms for duty on the food front.
Secretary Wickard has requested
that Triple-A cornmitteemen, both
county and community, locate avail-
able tracts of land in their districts
which are not now producing, and.
take whatever steps are feasible to
put them into useful activity.
Assistance will be given by the
county USDA war. boards: where
cases cannot be taken care of lo-
cally, and these boards have also
been instructed to be prepared to
help wherever possible in locating
operators, in financing operations if

required through available loan pro-
grams, or in helping the operator
obtain labor or machinery should
these items stand in the way of
any land use.
Farmers have also been urged
through Triple-A to rent to other op-
erators acreage they themselves
cannot put to work. Persons capa-
ble of managing a small farm, or
of taking on additional cropland, will
in turn be able to rent acreage
from operators who already have
under cultivation all they can pos-
sibly handle but who wish to see
every square yard of their land in
production.
Grow Some Crops Seed; |
Country Will Need It
If you have a field to spare, put
it to work for Uncle Sam and grow
seed of grasses and legumes on it.
The nation needs such seed for mili-
tary, lend-lease and domestic use,
and will pay you fair prices for what
you produce.
This suggestion is made by C. 8.
Garrison, assistant extension agron-
omist at Rutgers university, in
pointing out that the department of
agriculture has developed a price
support program on 20 kinds of hay
and pasture seeds as an incentive to
production.
“The list includes seeds of crops
such as alfalfa, timothy, orchard
grass, meadow fescue and red,
sweet and alsike clover,” Garrison
says. ‘And where a farmer has a
field which could be harvested for
seed, this program will guarantee
him a minimum price, as well as
the satisfaction of hélping to insure
