INDIANA COUNTRY EDITOR
BI ILT CHEMURGIC TRADE
the LAST TIME I VISITED with
Wheeler McMillen, something over
year ago, he was wearing, as he
a skim milk clothes.
expressed it,
That included his hat and an attrac¬
tive tie.
His garb of that day represented,
at least partially, the realization of
his ambition. As a boy, on Ohio and
Indiana farms, he worried about the
waste of farm products. On his own
Indiana farm he saw much the farm
produced unutilized. The corn stalks,
the grain straw, the skim milk and
other things brought no financial re¬
turn. As the editor of an Indiana
country newspaper, he continued to
think and write about those farm
wastes. Later, as the editor of a
farm publication of national circu¬
lation, he solicited aid in finding a
solution for the farm waste problem,
and along with that, a use in indus¬
try of farm products that would in¬
crease the farmer’s market.
The result was the Chemurgic
council, of which Henry Ford has
been an enthusiastic backer. Un¬
der Wheeler McMillen’s guid¬
ance that organization has found
many industrial uses for farm
products, including farm wastes.
Some of these are still, more or
less, in the experimental stage,
though their practicability has
been demonstrated. Many others
have passed the experimental
stage, and are in daily use in
the production of commodities,
they form the basis of many
plastics, in fact, make such
plastics possible. What were'but
a few years ago farm wastes, to¬
day are used in the production
of automobile upholstering ma¬
terial. The industrial use of soy
beans have made of that plant
a major farm crop in the United
States.
The days of throwing away the
corn stalks, the straw, the skim milk
and other farm wastes are about
over. No other one man is so much
responsible for this revolution in
farm markets, respresenting in¬
creased farm revenues, as is
Wheeler McMillen, editor of the
Farm Journal.
Wheeler McMillen insists the great
majority of American farmers do
not want governm'ent hand-outs for
not producing; that they do want,
and are entitled to, a profitable mar-
ket for what, and all, they do pro-
duce. To secure that market the
products of the farm must be
utilized for more than food pur¬
poses. They must have a place in
industry. He Is a practical farmer
of the "dirt” variety, and has ap¬
plied his own farm needs to all the
farms of the nation.
The countless innovations in
peacetime commodities, that will
now be coming along, will utilize in
their production, to a very consider¬
able extent, the products of the
farms, thanks, largely, to Wheeler
McMillen.

Government Family Thrives
On Milk of Patronage
HOW THE GOVERNMENT family
grows. A new bureau is born of an
emergency. It grows and thrives on
the milk of patronage, paid for by
the tax payers money. The emer¬
gency passes. The purpose for which
the new- bureau or department was
born ceases to exist. As a bureau,
it is abolished, but the patronage
appointed individuals who were,
during the emergency, feeding on
tax payers milk are not deprived of
their sustenance. They are but
switched to another nipple. That is
what happened in the case of OWI.
Its thousands of American em¬
ployees in foreign lands have been
switched from the OWI nipple to that
of the state department. It is but a
repetition of the same methods
that have marked the creation of
that enormous institution we call
government. The expense goes on.
The tax payer continues to pay.

A NEW YORK CITY friend,
Edward Anthony, publisher of
the Woman’s Home Companion,
sent me a book of pictures of
New York City. It is a photo¬
graphic debunking of the glam¬
our, romance, adventure and
success to be found in a metro¬
politan center. It is a book the
boys and girls of rural America
should see and consider. It would
quickly demonstrate to them
that a great city does not con¬
stitute a success mecca. Those
pictures depict the life of that
three-fourths of New York that
is either on the edges of, or in,
the gutters. Seeing those pic¬
tures would keep many a rural
youth in the clean environment
of the home town.

Dramatically Look Styled Furs Have
of Luxury and Distinction
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
'T'HIS is a season of fabulous furs,
distinguished by dramatic styl¬
ing. It would seem almost as if mir¬
acles are being performed in fur
manipulation. The regulation coats
of the past, designed for the most
part to keep you warm, are no
more. A new era dawns in fur coat
design, one that is breath-taking in
luxuriousness, in top-flight styling,
in assured winter warmth and in all
the finesse that women of fashion
seek in fur coats.
Never a lovelier evening wrap
could fancy picture than the exquis¬
ite stole of precious white Russian
ermine shown in the magnificent fur
revue presented recently in Chicago
by the State street council. Note in
the illustration herewith the superb
grace and beauty of this enchanting
evening wrap. The full deep cape at
the back flows into wide front pan¬
els, which are heavily tipped with
ermine tails. It is in such gracious
modes as this that fur artristry
reaches the ultimate.
The handsome coat illustrated at
the right was also in the showing.
This sumptuous model in black Rus¬
sian Persian lamb brings a most
important message in that it is high
style this season to trim one fur with
the same fur in striking color con¬
trast. In this instance, natural gray
Persian lamb is used in banded
treatment about the wide bell
sleeves of this very elegant black
Persian coat. There is also a trend
this season to trim one fur with an¬
other.

LOG OF A MAN IN QUEST
OF BETTER FISHING
1. —Man who has the ambitions of
Mike Lerner but not the time, equip¬
ment or information, tires of fairly
good fishing in his own area at In¬
dian river.
2. —News of big run of stripers at
Wahoo beach 300 miles away,
coupled with pictures of man who
got a 40-pounder there last week,
causes him to decide to pack im¬
mediately and leave home grounds,
where only snapper blues have been
biting.
3— Start of trip delayed by long
job of packing outboard motor,
extra rods, tackle boxes, slickers,
boots, gear of all kinds, utility cloth¬
ing, etc. Drives 80 miles for first
stop at Kickapoo Inlet. Finds bass
were there last week, but are far
away now. Asks if anything is run¬
ning and gets answer: “Small snap¬
per blues.”
4. —Drives 50 miles to Big horse
Cove, well - known striped bass
grounds. Sees numerous boats in bay.
Rushes eagerly to boathouse and
asks “What’s doing in stripers?’*
Gets answer: “You know how bass
are?” Replies: “No. How are they?”
Is told: “Ain’t heard of one caught
in ten days. Nice run of snapper
blues, though.”
5. —Calls it a day and spends
night deploring the luck. Starts early
next morning for Roaring Rip, 60
miles away, on a report a feller got
20 nice ones, ranging up to 35
pounds, a few days ago. Finds
bridge and beaches crowded with
people getting snapper blues. “Any
bass?” “Not lately. Ought to be
good next month.”
6. —Remembers hearing of a
striped bass fishermen’s paradise at
Killikowowie Point, always good in
October. Drives 100 miles more.
Finds famous guide, Stew Woodson,
half asleep in a skiff in a small in¬
let. “How’s the stripers?” “You’re
late. They was here last week. Nice
run of snappers now.” Asks Stew if
any reports of stripers at other
points. “Chet Baker got over half a
hundred big ones four days ago at
Winnepesaukee Ledge,” is reply.
7_Gets up at daybreak next
morning and drives 90 miles to Win¬
nepesaukee Ledge. Not a surf-cast¬
er around anywhere. Boats all at
moorings. “Ain’t been a striper took
in last three days,” says the guide.
“School moved to Mulligans Bay, I
guess. Snapper blues runnin’ as big
as six inches.”
8. —Consults map and finds he is
within 150 miles of Razzeldazzle har¬
bor, famed for its stripers. Decides
he might as well try it there.
Reaches there at sunset. No bass in
six weeks. Guides look for ’em
around November this year. (But
snappers are in!)
9. —Reaches home weak, sore and
disgusted. Crossing iron bridge over
Indian river, two miles from his own
house, sees Ernie Perry and Ed
Dudek casting for stripers. “Any
luck?” he asks. “Boy, where’ve you
been?” is reply. “Best run of
stripers this season here for last five
days.”
10. — Throws outboard motor, fish¬
ing gear, maps, etc., into river and
shoots self.

THE TROLLEY CAR PASSES.
New York City, one of the last
strongholds of the surface car, an¬
nounces that they will be removed
from the streets by January 1. We,
for one, feel a little sad, not only to
see the trolley car pass from the
streets of Gotham but from any
other place. It was a symbol of a
happier, more philosophical and
more comfortable America.

_ _
The swifter, more up to date and
less restricted bus has replaced it
all over the land, but to us a bus
is as satisfactory a substitute for a
trolley as a witch’s broom would be
for a ride on a cloud.
_*_
Not that we have been on a trol¬
ley in years. We don’t remember the
last time, but our childhood mem¬
ories of the trolley ride are bright
and glamorous. We can recall
trolley cars on the Sylvan avenue
line back home that we loved. And
trolleys on the run from Merwin’s
beach, miles through a leafy pas¬
sage by Woody Crest, Rocky Ledge,
Prospect Beach and West Haven
that still seems like something out
of a fairy tale.
_•_
We have a particularly soft spot
for the first trolley we ever remem¬
ber. Grandma took us for a ride.
It was winter. And it had a stove
in the center and a conductor with
side whiskers who put in a shovel
of coal now and then.
