Like Rexford Tugwell In one par ticular. this department would probably starve to death if tossed into a cotton field. But we appre ciate the people who work in them just the same. Last week, Cleve land farmer* struggled with an al most insoluble dilemma. Those drowning freshets of rain had brought the grass up in smother ing carpets all over the cotton fields; and at the same time, it was wheat cutting time. What to do? Let the wheat go and save the cotton- Or save the wheat and let Nature have her own way with cotton reduction? The farmers tried to save both wheat and cotton, and apparently the;, succeeded. Driving around the, county to cool off these hot even ings. we saw hundreds laboring in the fields. The women were at it, too. falling in beside the men like the Trojan ladies of old. Some of them were pretty cute looking in biue overalls and poke bonnets. They were wielding hoes with de termined chops, and the little boys were scampering between the spring house and the fields with sloshing buckets of water. Mo6t of them were men struggling with, awkward look ing tall bladed machinery, sliding rows of grain in broad stripes. The' Southern farmer lazy?

They're thinking, and so are we. that '34 is trying its darnedest to emulate that summer of 1916 when it start jed raining and had a time getting jstopped. It rained, if you will re jcall, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes day. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and twnce on Sunday for weeks jand weeks. There wasn't any pray img for rain that summet. Instead, ! the farmers met and prayed for jdry dirt, but it. continued to rain, so their prayers were all wet and muddy. ‘ Deciding that it was going to rain all summer long, the farmers rolled their overalls to their knees and went forti^ to shoe, singing "1 11 roll my overalls to me knees and oh my Gawd how I will hoe!" And they did hoe Some wore overcoats, some wore raincoats and some wore their wives’ petticoats, and with jmud gushing up betwen their toes, they sought to save their crops jfrom the flowing crab grass. That :summer many crops never saw a plow. A man was telling us the other day that the big rain came on the night of July 16. Bridges left their moorings and swam down the over flowing streams. The bridge over the river below Boiling Springs was washed away, it will be recalled. The night after the rain, this man said, there was an army of black frogs Jumping across the field near where he lived singing to beat all the noises of a forty odd brass band They were larger than toads and as black as soot. They had never been In this sec tion before, nor have they been seen since. Men fished in their backyards that summer. And the lowland folks visited their neighbors in dug outs and flat-bottoms. Plows were to be seen churning water In the furrows. Mules mired down and had to be pulled out with other ani mals. One man put snow shoes on his horse. Yet, quite a number of cotton patches looked like jungles in September, —WAKE, THEY TELL IT AT WAKE FOREST The story Is told that up toward Mooresboro, a young man went to Wake Forest college last fall. Short ly after his arrival, his father re ceived a leter In which' there was something like this: "Dear Dad: Please send me some money to buy a pair of shoes for everyone here Is wearing them." NOTES Some young college swain, ( or his girl) has lost a fraternity pin. They may secure It by seeing Cobby Horn, the solicitor.

Back in 1928, when Colorado was in the throes of a bloody mine war. she amazed the coal moguls by buying out her associate stockholders ir the Rocky Mountain Fuel Co., assuming control and inviting the workers to unionise her properties, at on* , of which, the Columbine Mine, six men had been killed and 35 injured in battle with troops a short timi before. The result of that bold stroke is that today Colorado miners are the best paid in the entire cottntri and Miss Roche's company made money all through the depression. A graduate of Vassar College and Cof umbia University, Miss Roche has held many municipal posts in Denver. She is sure she'll be next Govar 1 nor of Colorado and promises a ‘‘New Deal"'in State government. i i Etching in Black and White by U. S.
