Harold Ickes. who" was a Re - ! publican until President Roosevelt j made him a member of his cabinet. This movement has been going on I for months, and shrewd observers i here think they see signs that it is I waning. The best opinion among Washing- ! ton soothsayers today is that Air. !

Jackson for j second place on the ticket. Such a j 1 ticket would go far to avert a seri- ; i ous split in the party, since both Mr. i ?

Watson, extension, nort cullurist of State College. *Tfc only danger now." he state, ' would be to some of the tend* plants, such as beans, cucumbers, tc ir.aioes. com and sweet potatoes, i the mountain section. These may t planted safely in the west after Ma 1 to 15." Watson said there is little excus for any farm family1 failing to plai a garden now. It is almost irr perative that we grow something t eat this year to Offset an mevitabi decline in income from tobacco/' h declared. "The vegetable garden will b worth far more to the farm famii than an acre of tobacco given up i the control program. The vegetable which can be grown on an acre ? garden land would cost the house wife $450 if bought at retail price. This compares with tne average acr value of tobacco of about $135, an an acre value for cotton of $35, an corn $20. Watson pointed cut that the agri coucaRn cofiservaii|ffl program is ol fering this year a payment of $1.5 for each home garden of at leas lone-tenth acre for each member o the family. Details of this AAJ practice, and other valuable infor mation on home gardens, are con taincd in extension folder No. 45 which is free upon request to th< agricultural editor at State College Raleigh.

The belief here is that the Rcpub iicans will make these trade agree mcnts a major campaign issue in th* agricultural regions of the Missis sippi valley. The farm vote ma: easily decide next fall's election. an< there is a strong element ol farm cts who believe that Mr. Hull's tradi agreements opened the door to for cign competition with Anierieai farm products District Attorney Thos. E. Dewe; or New York, made himself man; iriends in tin agricultural states o the middle west bv his speeches 01 the farm situation, in which he tool exception fo the Hull policies. Bu Mr. Dewey did more than that. H gave the leaders of his party th surprise of their lives by his sue cess in the primary elections o delegates to the Republican nations convention. Everybod> in Washington alnuv was certain that Senator Vaudcr berg would get at least two-third ui the Wisconsin voters. But M Do why cot the whole 24 of then This clean sweep was the most con vincing demonstration Washingto has had yet of young Mr. Dewey1 pi pularity with the voters of hi own party. Added to his other pri mary victories, it lias given his part leaders something to think about sc riously. Regarded as Outsider In Washington whore Senator Yandonbcrg and Taft are familin figures the tendency has been to rc gard Mr. Dewey as an outsider \vh might be good enough for sect in place but whose youth?ho is 311and alleged inexperience in the ad ministration of public affairs rule him out as the nominee for the hea of the ticket. So the Republican leaders are bf ginning to study Mr. Dewey's othe qualifications much more seriously In international affairs he recent I talked Jike nri isolationist, but h still believes that congress wa right in repealing the arms einbargi in agricultural matters he has sat isfied the Republican spokesman < the farm group.

Democrats Active It is significant that some prom inent Democrats, as well as Rcpu'c si can backers of other candidate! are taking a more or less active par in the effort to stop Dewev. Wheth L-r he is regarded as the most dan Serous opponent, from the Dorno cratic view, is not quite clear. There arc some who say that i VIr. Roosevelt should decide, at th ast minute to seek a third term Torn Dewey is the only Ropubhcai vith a strong enough personal ap ic-al to have a chance against him 3ut the conventions are still mori ban two months away, and Senato l'aft is believed to have a very largi lumber of delegates already safel; pledged to himself.
