are likewise unsettled in their
opinions about the course of our
international relations. 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. The American
Farm Bureau Federation under
the leadership of Ed O'Ncil playj

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.

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.

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

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

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.
