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. • * * PRIVATE ENTERPRISE is promi¬ sed a chance to provide the 60 mil- tor. jobs it is estimated will be heeded. “But,” says the political o'g wigs, "if private enterprise government will have to take over.” With the rules and regulations pro¬ dded °r private to make enterprise it as hard to as succeed possible it ^ould seem those making the rules are hoping government will take r'' er - That would be very much in ** e wi *h the wishes of a radical Planned mority, who want a government economy.

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.

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.

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. • • • An American congressman urges that we introduce baseball to the Russians. Can you imagine what would happen under Stalin to a pitcher who pitched his own way? • * • Can You Remember — Away back when a small steak sold for 40 cents instead of $3.50? • * * Our big job is to select the war criminals of Japan. It would be a lot easier to pick the ones who are uot. if ENTER MOMENTS fresh Eveready Batteries "Hey, I said send up some quinine, not K-91" Until recently, our entire production of “Eveready” “Mini-Max’* batteries went to the Armed Forces for use in walkie-talkies, handy-talkies, and other vital communications equipment.
