Economic Madness
How nfuch longer can the United
States stand the mad spending of
the last 13 years; and what be6omes
of us when the till is empty? This
question is worrying economists
and business men not only here but
all over the world, because when
we collapse we will take the rest
of the world with us.
Lord Keynes, who has Just ar
ranged our $4,400,000,000 loan to
Britain, and the cancellation of our
$25,000,000,000 lend-lease credit,
originally hypnotized the New Deal
with the scintillating theory that
financial success depended upon
spending one's capital as rapidly as
possible, thereby hoisting one’s self
by the boot straps.
Well—we’ve almost overworked
that theory and it still doesn't click.
So now we’re trying to discover new
ways to spend what little we have
left of this World’s goods. Up to
now we only owe $272,000,000,000 so
our economically brilliant adminis
trators have committed us to fur
ther advances of $1,350,000,000 to
UMBRA, $3,500,000,000. to Export-
Import Bank. $3.175,000,OQO to Inter
national Bank for Reconstruction
and Development, $2,750,000,000 to
International Monetary Fund, andi •
now $4,400,000,000 to Britain. TQtal
$15,175,006,000. ,A fair beginnings,
but give the boys a chancer Russia

wealth.

hwnum being in all Washington who
possesses enough foresight - to see

If someone had started ugbn .the

ERNIE PYLE’S
“STORY OF G. I. JOE”
Clemson, Dec. 29.—Growing well
over one million acres of smal
grain annually, South Carolina
farmers need to make only a small
increased average yield per acre
to greatly increase the state’s to
tal production, says W. H. Craven
Clemson extension agronomist.
This increase is within the
range of every grain producer
through proper use of fertilizer
Mr. Craven declares, and fertilizer
prices are among the lowest fac
tors which enter into crop produc
tion.
The small grain crop, like other
crops, requires a complete fertili
zer. This fertilization should b
applied at planting. In this way
the plant nutrients are incorpor
ated into the soil. This method
of application also allows suffici-
pnt time for plants to utilize these
nutrients.
On average soils the agrono-
b*i?t suggests an application of
300 to 500 pounds of 3-9-9 fertili
zer per acre at the time of plant
ing as an aid toward increasing
the yields. This fertilization
should be supplemented in the
spring with a top-dressing appli
cation of 16 to 32 pounds of nitro
gen per acre. The common prac
tice of top-dressing small grain
with nitrogen in the spring and
expecting a normal yield can no
longer be depended upon.
“With most of the large acreage
of small grain planted in South
Carolina planted in a regular ro
tation, it must receive both phos
phorus and. potash as well as ni
trogen if we are to increase or
even maintain our average yields,”
Mr. Craven advises.

“If we are to channelize the
people’s loyalties to the United
Nations and the principles of col- I
lective security, UNRRa must suc
ceed in Europe this year”, Repre
sentative Emily Taft Douglas, of
Illinois, told the United Council of
Church Women recently. “There
will be no heat in most of the
homes of Europe, and there will
be a shortage of food and clothes
everywhere. If the minimum ra
tions which UNRRA • furnishes
should be cut off, there would be
starvation, increase in epidemics
and perhaps social chaos in coun
tries in which UNRRA is now
functioning.” Morse Salisbury, of
the UNRRA staff, declares that if
this program of international co
operation fails, “we shall be back
in the international jungle where
the law of the tooth and fang is
the only arbiter of man’s affairs.”

Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam,
president of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in Am
erica, and other prominent
churchmen returning from official
visits to war-devastated Europe,
have been unanimous in their
emphasis upon the great need for

UNRRA 100,000,000 garments, plus

Diseases Give
Growers Trouble
Clemson, Dec. 22.—Diseases of
winter legumes. pay affect soil
building and grazing unfavorably
in various parts of the state, W.
C. Nettles, Clemson extension en
tomologist, says, pointing some
suggestions to lessen such a draw
back.
“My Austrian winter peas on
that piece of land made good
growth for several years and then
something happened,” one farmer
said to Mr. Nettles recently. “They
just wouldn’t grow—died out.
Stems decayed and turned black.
Why, and what can I do about
it?”
Mr. Nettles points out that di
seases such as black stem and
leafspot or root rot are involved.
Other factors such as root knot,
poor innoculation, and poorly
drained or infertile soils, lack of
fertilizer or lime, and time of
planting also account for winter
oea failures. Continuous culture
of peas or related legumes tends
o increase the trouble from year
o year.
“Less loss will result if the peas
are, planted on the same land not
more often than once every three
or four years,” the specialist ad
vises. “Other legumes such as
vetch are affected by the same
diseases and should not be includ
ed. in the rotation. Hairy and
purple vetch are seriously affect
ed by leafspot and black
