The President's discourse has provoked flocks of rumors about the Capitol and in sections remote from i- this whispering gallery. The pro1 clamation of an "unlimited eml-' ergency" stirred laymen more s ' than experts. The Lend-lease Act t-1 and other recent laws, coupled if | with powers of the Presidency o j unrepealed from the last war, n j actually clothed the Chief Exs j ecutive with broad authority to i-1 use at his discretion. In fact, 0 | there are many statutory provid , sions available to do about anyf j thing "when war is imminent." s | The proclamation has the effect s. | of making these laws operative e j without further legislation. So e j far no hints as to how Mr. Rooses I velt will utilize these extraordin j ary powers have been channeled a from the White House. e a private survey of Congres1 sional sentiment a few days - prior to the broadcast revealed - that 72 per cent of the legislat j tors interviewed did not favor -|"the government's present meth-s ods of handling defense labor con11 troversies". Probably this aspect 11 of Congressional thinking had 11 something to do with the Pres! ident's declaration that national l (defense production must not be 6 i interrupted or obstructed by ine dustrial disputes. Despite Cap itol Hill criticism the' White ^ House had handled the defense i strikes with kid gloves. Apparj ently the Administration followed the pattern of the British. Though nearly two years of active war has sorely tested their rate of production, reports show that the British are still seekj ing the required intensification of production along a number ! of paths. Their first head-on col: lision was with powerful labor groups and only recently the government was compelled to temporarily suspend "trade union privileges". It is doubtful that Mr. Roosevelt will take this step to speed production unless public opinion seems to demand such action. The defense situation has effectively submerged a merry batj tie between the Administration I and the powerful organizations of J farmers. The National Grange has never been sold on Mr. Roosevelt's farm policies but has ! gone along peacefu|ly in the I hopes of change.

INSURE polliu) * " * a Hybrid sweet corn is being extensively planted, following the lead of hybrid field corn, which has increased the yield of farms. Home gardeners may depend upon an increased yield, if they sow hybrid sweet' corn, and some varieties have been produced which are among the earliest, and at least rival in delicious flavor the old favorite, Golden Bantam. There is one point about the hybrid strains, however, which should be considered. All plants of a given strain tend to mature within a very brief period. This is fine for the market grower, but home gardeners may prefer a longer period of harvest from a single planting. The hybrids have another merit, resistance to Stewart's disease, and in regions where this trouble is prevalent, they should be used. But whether hybrid or open pollenated varieties are planted, every garden which has the space should grow sweet corn because only the home gardener can enjoy this first rank all-American delicacy at its supreme best. Sweet corn is best only when eaten immediately after harvesting, because the quality and flavor deteriorate rapidly after the ears are pulled from the plants. The higher the temperature, the greater the deterioration and the loss in flavor will usually be at least forty per cent in corn which is obtained in the market. A patch of six rows, each 15 feet long, need not occupy more than 15 square feet. In normal seasons, | planted to the pedigreed strains, it should yield 120 to 180 ears. | I In both white and yellow THE STATE PORT PI LP' Board, room, medical and dental services, and the opportunity to learn a skilled trade will be provided all youths enrolled in the center.

Warn Registrants They Must Comply With Rules (Continued from page one) count on an indefinite continuance of this policy of leniency." In an effort to correct this situation and to avoid the possibility of prosecution for delinquency, registrants were reminded by General Metts that they must complete and return their questionnaires within the time stated on the first page, they must report to examining physicians at the time and place stated in the notice and they must report for delivery to the induction station when notified to do so. General Metts warned that a failure to respond to any of these legal notices will subject the registrant to possible prosecution in the Federal Court. It also is important that registrants, when they move from the place given on their registration form as their home address, notify the local Selective Service Board officials when and how they may be reached. THIS WEEK IN DEFENSE (Continued from page 2) cause there is no justification for an increase. DEFENSE HOUSING President Roosevelt approved construction of 9,900 additional dwelling units for civilian industrial worker families and Army and Navy enlisted personnel in 32 localities, and use of 274 trailers, renting for from $6 to $8 per week, as temporary hous ing in defense areas. Defense Housing: Coordinator Palmer reported total allocations for family dwelling units to be 87,260 as of May 24. During the week ended May 24, 1,600 homes were finished making the total completed 12,261, Mr. Palmer reported. Labor Secretary Perkins reported more dwelling units were provided in non-farm areas during the first quarter of 1941 than during any corresponding period since 1929. New Registration For Service Set For July 1st (Continued from page one) it was understood, in order that men registering then would have time to find out before fall whether or not they might expect to be called for duty. This would permit them to plan ahead for their fall and winter work or educational schedules. The manner of integrating these new men with the first group of draftees in each local area has been under consideration for sandwiching them among the original registrants by lotter, the other for adding them to the end of the lists. Officials said Monday the latter method proIweet Corn Yield HIKE SUCCESSIVE PLANTINGS AftOUT TEN DAYS APART TO 'I ENJOY A LONG ?T i SEASON OF SWer.T f CORN. ? * % k Sr 40 PLANTING ^ THIRD PLANTING S^^^^^NOTE'THAT EACH KERNEL HAS ITS ^XSagggg- CORRESPONDING kemeled sorts, there are early, late and mid-season varieties.- The earliest will have ears ready ior table in seventy days, while the larger, later varieties require ninety to one hundred days. The ears are ready for pulling when the silk has turned black. Nothing is gained by planting corn before both soil and weather have become thoroughly warm? warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn. The seed is quite likely to rot in cold soil. The seedling plants are very delicate, and cold weather checks their development, so that often later plantings do better than early ones. Seed may be planted either in rows or hills. It is better to enrich poor soil in hills, dropping five or six seeds per hill, spaced 3 feet apart each way. If planted in rows, they should be spaced 214 to 4 feet apart, depending upon the height of the variety, dropping the seeds at the rate of five or six to the foot, and covering them about 2 inches deep. When the plants reach a height of about 4 or 5 inches, it is best to thin them to 8 or 12 inches apart, and to keep them well hoed until the ears are set It is considered better to plant corn in blocks of several short rows, side by side, rather than in one long row. The pollen does not fertilize the ears well when planted in single rows. A balanced plant food should be applied at the rate of 4 pounds to 100 square feet. Sweet corn is reasonably drought resistant so long as it is cultivated frequently. SOUTHPORT, N.
