801 l Weevil Situation
Serious in State
Papers, Extension Directors and
various agencies have been talking
of the seriousness of the boll weevil
condition of Georgia which for some
time has seemed to be very critical,:
in fact it is stated by Mr. Walter
S. Brown, who is director of Exten-:
sion of Georgia, “The situation is
most critical it has been since the
early twenties.” Mr. O. P. Dawson,
who is county agent of this county,
states that he made some 15 to 20
personal inspections and has talked
witn several farmers in regard to
it, and at the time being, there
seems to be no serious trouble in
this county resulting from the boll
weevil. Mr. Dawson advised the
farmers to be on the lookout for
boll weevils and punctured squares,
however, and also advises that
squares which have fallen from the
stalks, be picked up and burned.
Mr. Dawson adds that if the early
hatching weevils can be destroyed
this will help to a great extent in
helping cotton reach maturity be
fore the boll weevils do so much
damage.
Indications are that the price of
cotton this year will be much bet
ter than the past few years, and
that any precautioins to increase
the yield per acre of cotton or total
production of cotton on the farm
will be increasing the farm income.
Mr. Dawson states that at the
time being he does not think it
necessary to use poison in many
cases, but if the situation does be
come acute that poisoning with cal
cium arsenate will be very profita
ble.
CHATTOOGA COUNTY FARMERS
HELP ROME PRODUCTION
CREDIT ASSOCIATION
Farmers and stockmen in Chat
tooga county have helped to in
crease the loan volume of the Rome
Production Credit Association dur
ing the first six months of the
year, according to R. P. Brison of
Lyerly, Ga., who is a director of this
farmers’ cooperative credit organi
zation.
Reporting of $47,645.00 loaned dur
ing the year, Mr. Brison said a good
share of it went to finance seasonal
operations of Chattooga county
farmers, stockmen and growers.
Reports from all over the nation,
Mr. Brison said, indicate that some
time during July some farmer or
stockman somewhere in the United
States will receive the two billionth
dollar to be loaned by a production
credit association. This two billion
dollars has been loaned to farmers
on terms adapted to their individ
ual needs thereby providing a de
pendable source of credit at reason
able cost.
Since the Rome Association began
operations in 1934 it has loaned
$464,285.00 to finance the needs of
its members in Chattooga, Walker,
Floyd, Dade, Catoosa, Polk and
Paulding counties.

Russian Help Welcomed
Despite Communist Bogy
Problem of Defeating Hitler Held Paramount;
Dykstra Returns to Wisconsin University;
Train 1,520,000 Defense Workers.
By BAUKHAGE
National Farm and Home Hour Commentator.
WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
WASHINGTON.—It was one of
those Washington mornings when
the clouded sky above lets in the
damp, heavy heat and an aching
glare on wall and pavement even
though it shuts out the sun itself.
The German armies were smash
ing through Poland and into the
Ukraine. With the Luftwaffe roar
ing eastward for a change, British
bombers were blackening skies and
shaking the earth of northern
France and industrial Germany.
A British military and economic
mission, we knew, was sitting down
with the Soviet leaders in Moscow,
offering them utmost aid in their
fight against Germany.
The papers were crying over a
drop in American airplane produc
tion, still reporting strikes in defense
industries and, very casually, at his
press conference, the President had
announced that the United States
would aid the Soviets as much as
possible.
Later, I sat in the office of a per
turbed government official.
“How,” I asked, “can you recon
cile to the American people the anti
communist feeling in this country
and aid to Russia?”
He paused and looked out over
streets, black with staggered shift
of government workers on their way
home—in another hour there would
be another echelon of hurrying men
and women, in another hour, an
other—recruits in the army of de
fense.
Americans Dislike Communism.
Finally, he spoke:
“Os course,” he answered, “that
is the problem we have to face. We
know that most Americans feel as
unsympathetic towards Communism
as they do toward Naziism. And the
subversive activities of the Commu
nists in this country have aroused
strong hatred against Moscow. Our
attitude on that score has been
plainly stated.”
Then my friend quoted the state
ment made by Undersecretary of
State Sumner Welles, shortly after
Hitler’s speech declaring war against
Russia.
Mr. Welles had stated:
“. . . doctrines of Communistic
dictatorship are as intolerable and
as alien to our own beliefs as are
the principles of the Nazi dictator
ship . . . but the immediate issue
that presents itself to the people
of the United States is whether the
plan for universal conquest . . .
which Hitler is now desperately try
ing to carry out, is to be success
fully halted or defeated.”
Then the man across the desk from
me said: “In other words, when
your wagon gets stuck in the mud,
you don’t look too closely at the man
who helps pull you out.”
What the government would like,
I suggested, would be to have the
Nazi gingham dog and the red calico
cat eat each other up.
“Perhaps,” he laughed, “that
would be the best solution. But it
isn’t as simple as that. The pup
seems to have so much stronger
jaws, in this case, that we believe it
might be wise to furnish the cat with
an extra claw or two.”
The trouble, I suggested, is selling
that idea to the American people.
He agreed; but he added that there
were certain things which ought to
be understood in regard to subver
sive Communist activities in this
country.
Subversive Activities Overestimated.
“Let’s take for granted,” he said,
“that we would have nothing to do,
if we could help it, with the fellow
who is helping us pull our wagon
out of the mud. But we do want
to get the wagon out, so there isn’t
much choice.
“Now, as things are today, a Com
munist is not likely to do as much
harm as we may fear,” the official
went on. “There are three reasons
for this statement: In the first place
the government has subversive ac
tivities under much better control
than is generally known.
“In the second place, pressure is
now being brought to bear effective
ly on the labor unions to promptly
remove all members of any subver
sive organizations from their mem
berships.
“Thirdly, in all probability, now
that Russia needs our help, the
Party line will probably order any

Dykstra Returns
To Wisconsin University
C. A. Dykstra, president of the
University of Wisconsin, has gone
back to his campus and his clois
tered halls beside that shining lake
in the Middle West. He did a
historic job here in Washington, as
director of the Selective Service sys
tem and first head of the Na
tional Defense Mediation board, two
great jobs that required all, as Ste
venson put it, that a man has of
fortitude and delicacy.
Mr. Dykstra, as readers of this
column know, did not get his knowl
edge of men and government solely i
from books. He was a successful
city manager of Cincinnati, he held
positions of civic responsibility in
Cleveland, Chicago, and Los An
geles. But he was chosen to head
the draft because of his deep and
sympathetic understanding of Amer
ican youth. When he left Washing- |
ton, I asked Mr. Dykstra for an ex- |
elusive two-paragraph valedictory, ;
just for the Western Newspaper I
Union readers. This is what he said
about his experience as head of
selective service:
“My experience with selective
service convinced me that the young
men of America are neither soft nor
indifferent. They can be counted
upon to give a good account of them
selves. Moreover, public accept
ance of selective service has proved
to be much more favorable than
was anticipated.”
Dykstra is an optimist, but not
one who can’t see the hole as well
as the doughnut.
“My experience on the Mediation
board,” he told me, “makes me
optimistic that labor and manage
ment are developing a better under
standing and a more co-operative
approach to a developing industrial
jurisprudence. On the w’hole there
has been a minimum of recalci
trancy on both sides. The appoint
ment of Davis is absolutely right.”

Train Workers
For Defense Industry
One record of achievement in the
defense program has come out
over a hundred per cent better than
promised, and you hear very little
about it. Much of the credit goes
to a little, dynamic man, from out
where the tall corn grows.
He is John Studebsker of lowa,
' commissioner of education, and he
is the drive behind the- federal pro
gram of training for defense indus
: tries.
' Commissioner Studebaker prom
ised congress last October that the
■ vocational training groups of the na
' tion would produce 700,000 workers
trained for service at lathe or bench
i by June 30, 1941. He now reports
that 1,520,000 have actually been
trained. Moreover, although the
1 one-third more than the regular pro
gram was undertaken, the cost of
! the Washington end was only about
1 per cent, and less money was used
for the entire project than con
, gress had originally appropriated—
, an achievement in these days!
> The average cost of training, per
i man hour, was 21 cents, and 97 per
t cent of the total amount of money
; spent in the training was spent in.
the local community. That was part
of the Studebaker idea—keeping th*
i training decentralized —using the lo-
I cal schools, shops, equipment and
s teaching force—leaving the running
: of the program io labor, industry,
■ and the local school officials.' 'This
1 not only proved efficient but it
served to bring labor and industry
> together on a thousand advisory
■ committees which were formed all
■ over the country. Labor and indus
try each furnished 3,500 members of
■ these committees. The rest were
made up of consultants. Five hun-
r dred systems provided the machin
! ery to carry out this task, and they
' worked 24 hours a day to do it.
All the tall tales don’t come out of
Washington. It is reported that in
Montezuma, Ga., Mrs. Christine
Baldwin planted some Paul Neyron
roses last fall which bloomed
heartily in the early spring. A short
while later, according to the Hosch
ton (Ga.) News, she found the rose
bushes were covered with black
berries.
Can you beat that? ’ .
