This assurance, in a form that our jes can accept, wilt enable them take some risks in setting up a w world organization for peace. Without it, the political leaders of lie other nations will, of necessity, Ike whatever steps they deem es- ntial to safemiard the security of leir people. After outlining the above views, r.

Early Repair Of Machinery Needed The vast production of foods and fibers called for this year will re quire tne erncient use or all aval early, repairing, servicing, and gen eral maintenance," Weaver says. This includes both old and new ma chinery. Weaver also urges a safety pro gram that will include protection of the machinery from damage, protec tion of the crops themselves in the operation of the machinery, and pro tection of the operator of the ma chine from injury. With present labor shortages on almost every farm, the sharing of labor and machinery will again be an essential pan. of the plan for getting farm jobs completed in 1946. Where farm families have work together in groups, utilizing all available machinery to the fullest extent, much time and lobar has been saved and greater production hah been obtained.

The extent to which Mr. Vanden- iirg has proposed American cooper- pion in the interest of peace is ap krent in his proposal that the president have power to deal with ;curring Axis threats of aggres on without the necessity of return- g to Congress for authority in bch specified case. Not Hnch Chance That Senate Will Agree When news is dull in Washinirton here is always a story, for a few onths at least, about the proposal House members that treaties be itified by a majority vote of both buses. . The Constitution now places treatv Btification power in the Senate and squires that two-thirds of them ap- roTe any pact made with a foreisrn puntry. ThiB has not worked too ejl, giving a veto power to one- fird of those present. we are easily persuaded that the hod proposed by the House mem- s is preferable to the present re- rement but- we have no idea that e Senate will agree to give up any i its power. The only way to get he change 1b through an amendment Mhe Constitution and this may be j and gives u8 the reasonable promise not refrained from cooperating with the isolationists in an effort to es cape the peril of taking a -definite' stand. The isolationists understand that there exists in the United States considerable ignorance and prejudice. 1 They will appeal to both. More . over, they will attempt to capitalize 1 on the disappointments of hyphenated ' Americans who will inevitably be dis gruntled over some item of the peace treaties. They will spread suspicions, express fears and coddle the cupidity of the simple. It all adds up to a dangerous at tack upon proposals now being con sidered for a concerted effort to se cure peace and prosperity for the world. Naturally, the various settle ments made and the various pro grams adopted will not please any person or any nation one hundred per cent. Nearly everybody will take exception to some of the conclusions and determinations. The isolation ists will attempt to magnify every tiny item. The fate of the world, in the im mediate future at least, depends very largely upon the decision of the American government. This, in turn, depends upon the attitude of the average American citizen. In formulating this attitude, it is im portant for the American people to consider the work of their statesmen and Allied powers,, as a whole, and to judge it on the basis of com plete entity.

County farm agents gave 85.6 per cent of their full time to assist ing farm families to expand food production through promotion of bet ter farming practices in the produc tion of vegetables and fruits, live stock and livestock products, live stock feed, in more efficient man agement of- farms," and in- the teach ing of better marketing practices. Basis for the above are annual re ports of Extension agents for 1944. For example, 9,371.4 farm agent days were given to assistance with production of dairy, beef, swine and poultry products; and 5,744.1 agent days were devoted to help in the pro ductjpn of feed crops for these live stock. A total of 167,338 livestock and poultry practices were recommended to livestock and poultry producers alone in an effort to expand and make' more efficient the production of livestock food. White home demonstration agents spent 16,426.9 agent-days giving aid in the preservation, selection and preparation of food. There were 113,627 families assisted with food preservation problems. These fami lies canned 8,211,911 quarts of fruit, 12,232,065 quarts of vegetables, and 1,850,142 quarts of meat and fish a total of 22,294,117 quarts of food. In addition, 24,894,466 pounds of njeat were cured by families assisted by farm and home agents, and 10-, 141,662 pounds of food were other wise (fried, stored, frozen, or cured by these families. Of the 278,276 families of farm owners and tenants in North Caro lina, white Extension Agents in fluenced 266,736 to adopt better farm and home practices in 1944 through visits to the farm meetings, demon strations, circular letters, or other Extension teaching methods. In ad dition, 96,045 non-farm families were leached with Extension information. White county home demonstration agents in 1944 gave 43 per cent of their time in assisting families with nutrition and health problems; 26 per cent to clothing problems, fam ily economics, parent education and community life; 20 per cent to plan ning and organization of Extension programs; and 11 per cent to edu cational marketing and other ac- iificult. intelligent Cooperation With Allies Advisable There ia a tendency to matmifv very question that .arises between e United States and another na- on as a great rapture, evidencing e end of the unity of the present Hies..

Hii bacterial ruearch, which gave hli name to th pasteurization procM provided th basis for one ol th widely accepted explanations of Chilean Nitrate's origin. k Vast beds of Natural Nitrate in Chile's desert region are nat ural deposits enough to last hundreds of years of one of the oldest and best known fertilizer materials. Mystery of their ori gin long has challenged science. Many theories have developed. Some say prehistoric plants were "nitrified" by bacteria in the soil. That's what Pasteur's work suggested. Others say they are decayed vegetation. There is a belief the nitrate beds are droppings of billions of birds. Another, that electricity formed them through centuries of violent storms. Some think the beds are rotted rocks; some think they are a crust pushed up from underneath. Perhaps the right theory com bines parts of all of them. Who knows? But there is one point on which all agree: Chilean Nitrate of Soda was created by tremendous natural processes. It Is com" pletely natural . . . the only natural nitrate in the world. Because of its natural origin, Chilean Nitrate of Soda con stains, in addition to nitrogen and sodium, small amounts of boron, iodine, manganese, cop per, 34 elements in all many of which are essential to healthy plant growth. Yes, a hundred years of re search and experience agree on the importance of Chilean Nitrate's natural qualities and their outstanding performance in continued profitable farming.
