WjiiW WASHINGTON Washington. Feb. 1. ? There is very decidedly a better feeling between Government and busi ness, if by Government is meant Congress. How far that is true if by Government one means the President is uncertain. There have been numerous conferences lately In which the President has sat down with leaders of business and industry, the latter seeking to get some sort of a definite statement of policy which ^hey could tie to from the President's lips, and the President, presum ably, seeking from them the facts about business conditions and their ideas of the causes of the current slump: Some of those who sat in on these conferences have reported tihat they had never heard a Pre sident talked so face to face in the tone some of those present used in attributing to him the major blame for the business re cession ? "depression" is not a polite word to use in Washington bhese days. Out of all the confer ences, however, the President himself emerged smiling, giving no sign of any Influence which his Visitor's pleas to let up on busi ness may have had on him. Political Strategy Sensed Smart political observers here believe that the failure of the White House tp utter reassuring words ati this juncture is part of a clever political stretegy, which has been In progress since the present slump first began to be visible. If the blame can be suc cessfully fixed, in the public mind upon "economic royalists," and along around the Spring primaries when the mass of consumers have just begun to feel the pinch of the slowing down of factory pro duction and increasing unemploy ment!, a new big Government spending plan is initiated, pour ing out a billion or more unex pected relief money, the effect upon the average voter will not be too friendly toward Congress men and Senators of either party who have refused to go along with the Administration in all its pro jects. Whether that is the conscious plan of the Administration or not, such a program would have the effect of strengthening the Admin istration politically. And the growth of the spirit of independ ence in Congress has become so marked since last Fall that it is time some attention was paid to the repairing of many political fences. t'ongressioiuJ Independence Grows Congress, for once, seems more definitely concerned with t>he_ eco nomic situation than with politics. Of course, no Congressman, will ingly throws away a political ad vantage if he can grab it honestly, but the few independent spirits on Capitol Hill who stood almost' alone, like voices crying in the wilderness in (he early days of the New Deal, have been recruit ed by so many others that it no longer calls for the courage of a Daniel to take a stand ln? opposi tion to the Administration's pet projects. The brave Congressman no longer has to stand alone. Mr. Roosevelt is still mindful of the support and encouragement he has long had from the "Left Wing" group with which he was once entirely surrounded. He has wrung their heartstrings on more than one occasion, by taking a too friendly tone toward princes of privilege, and failing to heed the advice of the starry-eyed young intellectuals who think that there is no sense in giving the capitalistic system another chance better switch right off to re gimented collectivism and be done with it. Nobody seriously believes that Mr. Roosevelt shares their radical views, certainly not to the extent' that he would substitute them for the Constitution; but they are nice fellows and they gave him a lot of bright ideas in the beginning of His first admin istration, so why not make an oc casional friendly gesture in t'heir direction dnce in a while? Water On Both Shoirtdei-s? That is the meaui/Ig, the Presi dent's apologists so/, for his occa sional fist-shaking in the direc tion of the very~'plutocrats with whom he has just been having such friendly conferences. It) is heartbreaking to his young radical friends to see their idol foregath ering with the wicked rich ? <? wicked because they are rich ? and refreshing to them to be reas sur?d that the President's heart is still in bhe right place. That is another view of the President's somewhat perplexing efforts to minimize the present "recession" and at the same time to urge his reform program in sistently upon Congress. But Con gress is no longer responsive t<o the cracking of the White House whip. It la doing its own analyz ing of the economic situation and working out its own remedies. Rcod Appointment Hulled The appointment of Solicitor General Stanley Reed to tihe Sup reme Court beich has met with unqualified approval in all quar ters but one. There has been some moaning among the young radicals that the President did not name "one of us" but otherwise politici ans of all parties, men in all walks of life, hailed t>he appoint ment as one of the best ever made To Be, Or r i PARIS (Special) . . .

Washington gossip is already busy, one hopes prematurely, over possible successors to Justices Car dozo and Brandeis. These two j great Liberal juris i>3, the only Jews -on the Supreme Bench, are regarded as likely to create the next two vacancies. Justice Car dozo's physical condition has been ! causing great alarm for some 'weeks, while Justice Brandeis, | past eighty, is said to be consid ering his own retirement. (UHDAY SCHOOL LESSON by HKV. CHART, TOS K. DCXN Challenging the Social Order Lesson for February <fth. Mark 2:13-22 (Jolden Text: Mark 2:17 We sometimes hear a plea for the preaching of the "simple gos pel." The underlying assumption is that -?he Christian message is spiritual and has nothing to say concerning controversial social questions. A writer to the Cleve land Press voices tile following complaint. When I g6 to church on Sunday I want food for my soul. Instead, I am reminded from the pulpit of the injustices in the world and even urged to assist in bettering conditions 011 the earth." This naive point of view ignor es the social passion of the Old Testament prophets, and the pro found ethical note sounded by Jesus. Consider the Lord's Pray er, The heart of it is the petition, "Thy kingdom come,, thy will be done on earth." and there are profund economic implications in "Give 11s this day our daily bread." The plain truth is that active righteousness is part' and parcel of God's service. And right living must be social. However much we may admire the heroic patience and resourcefulness of Robinson Crusoe it is obvious that his morality ' Ffepresents a minimum pattern of conduct. Man, in his normal state, is intensely gregarious. Hence the greatest of all arts is that of living together. We are, as St. Paul insists, "mem bers one of another."' Social action should, therefore, not- be considered a merely inci dental aspect of the Christian dis cipline. It belongs as its very cen ter. And it must be definite. In such a perilous world as ours, seething with discontent, i vague generalities will not do. We must follow some concrete plan, faulty as it may prove to be in the light j of actual experience. All plans re quire revision. They must be test ed by the meMiod of trial and er ror. Jesus would be the first to insist that his Church must cease to defend existing practices that no longer represent the Christian mind, and must move forward in tihe advocacy of "new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwell eth righteousness." 666 SALVE for COLDS Liquid - Tablets P prkm HftllTrops?SG IOC & 25C l-28-10t 1 More For Small Farmer; Less For Large Operator ? Washington. - Jan. 29.* ? Senate and House conferees on the farm bill said today that they hud agreed to limit large benefit pay ments and increase the size of checks to small farmers. An original proposal to make $10,000 annually the top figure was modified, the conferees said, so that individuals and partner- 1 ships farming in several states re- j celve this amount for complying with the Federal farm program in each state. However, a corporation could not receive more than $10,000 for compliance throughout the coun try. The provisions agreed upon would apply to producers of major crops other than sugar. Benefits for sugar growers are controlled by separate existing legislation. Senator Pope (D-IdahoK said t-he payment limitation probably would reduce government checks to "from 50 to 100 larger land- j owners," including many insur ance corporations. "* He said the increase in checks j to small farmers would be financ ed by using 10 per cent of avail able benefit funds for this pur- j pose. Since $600,000,000 is ex- 1 pected to be available this year, Pope said, $50,000,000 would be used to step up checks under $200. He said farmers who otherwise would receive $20 or less would get an automatic increase of $8; ^ f'hose otherwise receiving $20 to $40 would get $12 additional; i those in the $40 to $60 class an increase of $12 plus 10 per cent of the payment above $40; those from $60 to $186. a flat increase of $14? and those from $186 to $200, enough to bring the sum to | an even $200. Agpeement also wan reported ' on t'he creation of farmer com mittees for administration of thej program. Under the agreement, county farm committees, charged with al- j locating acreage and paying out j benefits, would be elected by all . farmers of the county.

KlitANKIilN COUNTY FAIIM 1'1'KMS ? * lly County I'lirm Agents * ? ??? ??????* * The County Agents' office Is prepared to receive and assist in soil analysis for the purpose of securing fertilizer recommenda tion. Many farmers last year had soil analyzed for tobacco " with good results. The following di rection for taking and sending samples is taken from the Form prepared at State College: "To be sure that the sample represents the true condition of your field, take four separate sam ples of top soil to a depth t<o which the soil is usually plowed, lie sure the samples are taken some distance apart. Mix the four samples of top soil thoroughly and place approximately one pint of the thoroughly mixed top soil in a clean container (pint size ta ret board ice cream containers are very satisfactory for this pur pose). Label. Top Soil No. X. Take lour samples of subsoil that ai;e topical of the field. There is sometimes a layer of lighter col ored soil between the top soil and the true subsoil. Be sure that this light colored layer is NOT in cluded wit'h subsoil. .Take the sub soil below that layer. Mix the four samples of subsoil, place in separate containers and label Subsoil No. 1. lie sure that the samples are properly labeled and packed.'* The directions above should be followed carefully. Special Fdrms ifre available at the Office to be filled out giving information re garding Cultural practices or his tory of the field. This is very im portant as the practices on farm may change the fertilizer recom mendations. Mi There will be a one-day Poultry School held at the Court House in Oxford Tuesday, February 8, at which time Prof. Dearstyne, Mr. Maupin and Mr. Brown, Ex tension Specialists, will discuss timely Poultry Topics.
