BASEBALL SERIES ON THE AIR
Baseball fans of Dunlin County will again have the opportunity
of hearing the world series over the air. A combined network will
give play-by-play accounts of the annua spectacle and , bring home
to every listener, the wonder of science, combined with industry and
credit
The use of radio in this instance Illustrates, we think, the real
worth of the networks although the fact that Henry Ford has to pay
lino 000 for the rlcrht to. broadcast the tames, in addition to the
" charges of' broadcasting companies
pendent the public is upon advertisers to secure the benefits that
should come with the radio.
" We have believed for years
found to provide' programs for radio stations and chains. A govern
ment owned and operated chain of stations, serving the entire nation,
might be one solution. A tax on receiving sets, with the. money used
to operate iuid maintain stations
lomDinauon oi wese suggestions, wnu a jmriuu tuuiuiuouto ui us
present system, might be -the best. .." ' .
Anyway, the problem of the radio Is bound to grow in the fu-
ture. Certainly, the listening public la somewhat sick pt the tiresome
pronouncements and absorb buncome that comes through the air as
the paid agents of the, "sponsors"

FOR PEACE AT ITS PRICE .
The "Peace Ballot," recently reported from Great Britain
demonstrated -a hope for peace and an overwhelming desire on the
- part of some 11,000,000 voters to keep out of war. .However, the
'British people 'did understand the Issue and showed ithelr willingness
- to pay the price .that, the world inOst pay for peace.
,v For example. 8,657,606 voted for combined economic pressure to
K stop an attack, by a nation upon another. More significant, was the
. 6,606,777 votes: in favor of military measures, if necessary, to prevent
- a nation from i attacking another. In both instances the presumption
' was that other nations would combine to curb the attacker. Only
; 6607,165 voted against economic pressure and only . 1,265,261 were

"Fourteen years of consistent
effort on s. winter legume program
In Alabama have resulted in- the
planting of 29,040,602 pounds of
seed and have added $28,256,930 to
farms in the form of Increased
crop yields. '?r-&, ""4
" "Soil buUdlng- by use of winter
legumes offers the bestmeahs for
Alabama farmers to achieve" the
live-at-home program and the low
er the cost of cotton production",
declares J. C. Lowery, Alabama
agronomy specialist, who has been
working on this matter of winter
legumes for more than 14 years'.
The records clearly show the re
sult. A total of 6.649,89 pounds of
winter legume seed was used in Al-
aba ma In 1934, according to reports
of county agents. This to 600,000
pounds more than was used In 1933
despite the big Increase In price or
seed. Had seed been available at a
fair prjee, probably 12 to IS million
pounds would have been used. Two
limiting factors through the years
have been the high price of seed
and the limited supply.
Millions of Pounds of See
Although the early educated pro
gram did bear fruit,: the first real
1
progress was made when purcbas-,
ing agencies sponsored, by the Ala-
bama -Farm . Bureau " Federation
started buying seed cooperatively
In 1931. In 1920, 10,470 pounds was
used: In 1921, 35,508; In 1922, 19,
466; In 1923, 315,765, and in 1934,
505,905 pounds of seed was bought.
This consistent increase shows the
results of cooperative purchasing.
The biggest cooperative job ever ac
compltohed In the buying of winter
legume seed was done at a State
wide meeting of farm leaders in
Montgomery last May, when an or-
7C3
was already in their hands and
that they could handle what Jftr
tie remained.
. "Now let us see what has hap
pened in this SlouxOlty-Wynot
territory. First of all the grain
rate by rail to Sioux City and
the East waa three cents per 100
from the farthest, point on the
line. Now the rate Is 10 cents a
bushel to Sioux City. Coal was
laid down In the farthest town
for 20 cents a ton, whlleat pre- ,
sent trucks are offering to de
liver coal to close-in points at
two dollars a ton. Farm values
have depreciated from SO per
.cent to IS per cent .Some farm
er are 60 miles from a railroad.
Homes in the towns erected at a
cost of 14,000 are .begging for
buyers at. levels as low as $500
and there are no buyers. Lastly,
the Omaha road paid 28,0OO
each year in taxes and this sum
has been shifted over to the re
maining taxpayers. - ' '

yet If the rural merchants and
the rural community do not a

by the cooperative purcnase ox seea
in Oregon and the home production

Oregon,

grew the practice of buying large
Quantities of Oregon seed. Repre
sentatives go from Alabama to
Oregon to buy the seed pracucaiiy
every season. The Oregon extension
agronomist has spent some 1 time
studying the legume prdgram In
Alabama so that the Oregon, grow
ers may better meet their needs.

' The value of - these winter legu
mes to' Alabama farms to difficult
to estimate. Stated in one way, the
quantity of lugumes grown last
year should add nltrogent worth

Increased about ' 0,300,000 bushels,
worth' more than $4,000,000, ; ac
cording to the average of past
years. Since 1918, Alabama has
used 29,040,602. pounds of winter
legume seed, according to available
records It Is estimated on the ba
sis f conservative returns that this
