Washington There is the defi
nite belief at the Capitol that an
other New Deal Administration will
he even more New deal than any
thing to date, as each week that
goes by sees the power of the Rig
Union Bosses being felt more and
more in Washington.
For more than a decade the CIO
has been moving slowly hot effec
tively to take over control of the
Democratic Party. For labor to
have a labor party in this country,
the Big Union Chiefs must capture
ot>e of the two major political par
ties. So, the concentration of the
Big I ,ahor Bosses has been on the
Democratic Party and their pro
gress has been effective and is con
tinuing to he effective.
The union of the CIO and the
AFL will make the power of the
big unions much stronger . . . A
good indicator of just how far the
labor group proposes to go in the
field of legislation is perhaps best
.expressed by the way the CIO has
registered under the Lobbying Art.
Here is the ClO’s legislative pro
gram:
“Support all legislation favorable,
to the national peace, security, de
mocracy, prosperity, .alid general
welfare; oppose legislation detri
mental to these objectives.-"
Now, more than .one at. the Cap
itol has read this CIO declaration
with apprehension and has .also
read with apprehension what AFI
President George Meany had to say
in his first speech to the CIO about
politics. Here is an excerpt from
Mr. Meany ’s speech::
“Fears have been expressed that
there will he too much concentre
tion of power (in tin- merged labor
group), that it might in- used po
litically.
“Well, in my book it w ill he used |
politically —not with the idea in j
mind of running the country, not ,
with the idea in mind of seeking I
public office for trade unionist-, |
although there is nothing wrong |
with that . . . but with the idea in
mind of continuing the forward |
march of American labor, of gei
ting for American labor the fair
share of what we produce.
“Let those who Worry about
bor’s political power remember,
this:
“We didn’t choose the battle- I
ground, this political background
If they can pass laws that can ham-1
string, weaken and destroy the j
trade, union movement, then our!
place to defend ourselves is in the/
same halls where they passed those J
laws.”
This statement-by M ’Meshy..,'.
definitely shows that i merged V
AFL-CIO will move more a rid. more
into the political field. It i>; the *
opinion at fho Capitol that the CIO.
which is far more aggry-sive. will
emerge as . the. dominant, fac’nr.jn ti
the merger.

politics in Washington quit, ohiso- ."

Gardeners Need to Know
I Ways of Water in Soil
cVrTgV \~\ 'S‘ lßiyyr ,Adß@BßlhßW» i
A I-paky Canvas Hose Serves as an Irrigation Ditch.
An amateur gardener with a
garden hose practices irrigation
just as truly as a farmpr who irri
gates held crops. Both should un
derstand the behavior of water in
the soil.
Ideas about soil water are often
vague, and likely to confuse the
action of water in a lake or pond
with that applied to the soil. There
are few points of resemblance.
Water applied to the soil does
not seek its own level. If the soil
is dry. the soil particles attract
water to themselves and hold it
against the pull of gravity. Not
until the water holding capacity of
the top soil particles has been
tilled can additional water find
its way to lower levels. There is
never a substantial lateral move
men! of water in the soil.
if sufficient water is applied to
dry soil to wet it to a depth of say
4 inches, the soil below that will
remain dry. and the top soil will
dry from the top down. Root
growth cannot be active below
the moisture and thus even lib*
era! watering may confine roots
t< i this shallow level. .
To send moisture 8 inches
deep, almost twice as much wa
ter must be applied, sufficient to
rill soil holding capacity to that
depth. One way to make sure
of deep irrigation is to turn the
hose on after a good rain, pro
viding water for soil deeper than
the rain could reach.
Soil holds its water with con
siderable tension, but roots exert
a counter pull, and when the
moisture is plentiful can take it
away But as the soil dries, its
hold on moisture becomes
stronger until the point is
reached where the roots cannot
take it.
As the top soil reaches this
point roots will lengthen to find
moisture at lower levels. The
deeper the moisture, the longer
the . roots, enlarging the area
over which the plant can obtain
both food and water. This in
i creases’ the vigor of the plant
\ and its ability to withstand dry
weather. It keeps lawns green
• in midsummer and makes flow
j ers, fruit and vegetables grow
faster and larger.
Good practice permits the wa- j
ter to dry down., rather than |
wage from' 75 cents to $1.25 per
hour. Thf House Republican whip,
Mr, A rends of Illinois, had this to
-.ay:
“A ; evidence of politics’behind
die maneuver. called .attention ;
•o .the fact - that the ’Democratic-.1
■iintrolled committee on agriculture.]
without any consultation with the!
Republican--’members, had a special A
•omiuiftee document printed em
••>dy ng the testimony of only Wai- j
o r Reuther. President of the CIO, !
ind George Meany. President of]
AF of L. They printed and mailed
■>7,d(Ht’ copies of the publication as
in official, committee document."
Mr. A rends then pointed out that'
the House Agriculture Committee
took 100 pages of testimony on : the
farm, situation, including that from
national farm organizations, Mr.
A rends then asked, hut did not an
swer. this question: “However
much these two distinguished gen
iemen may know about the farm
program,, are we to believe that
keeping the top soil constantly ‘
moist, so long roots are devel
oped. But when drying has
reached the half-way point,
more water should be applied
Tests have shown that this prac
tice produces the best results
with most garden plants
To tell when more water is
needed .an instrument called a
tensiometer may be used, which
measures the tension with which
the soil particles hold water.
When this tension at a certain
depth is sufficient to prevent
roots from feeding, the instru
ment shows it.
Amateurs can keep informed |
about underground conditions by
digging a hole in the vegetable
garden, or a flower border ad
joining the lawn, which receives
the same amount of water. Dig j 1
this after watering, to deter
mine the depth which has been
reached by moisture, then fill it
up. Keep the space clear so you
can (fig again, to see when the
soil has dried down sufficiently
and needs another soaking. A 6
to 8 inch depth at each soaking I
should be the minimum
This kind of irrigation can only
be successful oh well drained,
porous soil A porous soil allows
both air and water to pass
through it. after its water hold
ing capacity has been filled. If
the soil particles are so small
and compacted that excess wa
ter cannot escape, air cannot
enter, and plant roots which
need oxygen are unable to func
tion for lack of it, not even to
take lip the water which sur
rounds them As a result the
top growth may die of drought,
while the roots are flooded with
water.
Water should be applied to the
lawn and garden areas as even
ly as possible Use a sprinkler
which spreads, it slowly so there
is no run off Vegetables and
flowers should be watered with- .
out wetting their leaves, if prac* I
tical Avoid allowing plane »
leaves to be wet at night, as
i this will spread disease

very little wear and needs almost

Demonstration Held
For Land Judging
A land judging school for agri
cultural workers was conducted on
Wednesday afternoon of last wook
by J. Frank Doggott, Extension
Soil Conservation Specialist. Mr.
Doggett explained the purpose of a
land judging school, its importance,
and the factors which enter into
the judging of soil. ,
If land is to he put to its host
use a farmer must be able to de
termine its capability, practices
needed, and treatments needed
from the standpoint of cover crops,
fertilizers, and lime recommenda
tions. Although maps have been
made of all the counties in North
Carolina, there are still individual
problems of different farms. The
use of soil test reports is one of
the best Ways which a farmer con
determine the proper amount of
lime and fertilizer needed for a
particular crop.
