POET ATTACKS I TROTSKY BOOK cormer Friend Pens Poem Ca!l ing Commissar New Munschausen Moscow—(UP) — A violent attack *’» the autobiography of Lecn Trot sky, which was published recently h\ Germany, has appeared in the col* iimci cf the government mouth* piece, Izvestia. It took the form of a poem by Dc-mian Byedni, the mest popular writer of topical verse in the soviet union, in which he calls the former commissar of war a “new Baron Mhoschausen” who “outlies all the old MunschauscnV’ M. Byedni takes as his text a sentence of Trctsky to the dices that the communist party bound up especially his name with the revolution. He spares no virulent rdjectives in characterizing this imt.ement as “the boasting of a political charlatan.” Moreover, M L.vedni promises that he will sub* nit o'her statements in Trotsky’* u'itwriograpJiy to the ordeal of hi* * it; tal pen. The attack is especially notable because the poet was a good friend ot Trotsky in the early years or" the revolution. He concludes the verse by placing Trotsky in tho *a a body ai revel-headed men, fairly in touefc vd.a reality. One cannot but won* tier from what fount of inspiration perrons speaking for it have ac« «;unrd the fears and terrors which to be agitating them. It is an no;.reed that, the Chamber has ’x ur.ched a “militant fight" against the Communists. The interviews speak of the "Communist menace, s ad the executive secretary declarer that Frankly, a lot of our members v.e sort of scared." T -is kind of talk seems incredible. There is no communist menace in this country and never has been. Irr »r country is there less sympathy vit.'i the theories or aims of com* ju-mism. In none is the prospect of rational conversion to communism More utterly hopeless. But even if ■-Is were not so. communism would h: cn altogether lawful subject ot i scussion. The federal constitution r '.'J most of all the state constitu ■*-cos provide that no person shall M deprived cf property without due process of law. The wisdom of such •« prevision is as legitimate a sub let of debate as anything else in the constitution.

The first gener al type of poultry advertising was that of difterent poultry breeders. This made it possible for them to dis tribute improved blood to all parts of the country. The demand for im proved breeding stock made It prof itable for the breeders to pursue this line of work. The breeding stock in turn helped to make the poultry business more profitable by improv ing the stock on the farms. During the last 25 years there also ha3 been a large growth of different manu facturers that have furnished equip ment or feeds that were needed by the poultry breeder or producer. The incubator manufacturer was the first manufacturer of this type. The advertising of these incubators in formed people where they could be purchased, educated them in regard j to the value of the different types of machines and the sales made through advertising made it pocsibe for incubators to be manufactured cn a large scale. This large scale business made economical manufac ture possible so that incubators were priced within the reach of everyone. Since that time there has been a gradual development along other lines. The development of mam moth incubators, the shipment of chicks through the mails and the demand on the part of the public for better chicks, made It possible to de velop hatcheries. Advertising or babv chicks created sufficient sales so that the hatchery business is now run as a large scale business with resulting economies winch aie passed on to the ultimate consumer. Today hatcheries are supplying from 40 to 50 per cent of the clucks that are used by farmers. In recent years there has been a rapid growth in manufacturers of poultry feeds and miscellaneous equipment. Advertis ing of these products has In ormed I the buying public that they are available and the resulting sales have made it possible for these feeds and cquiomsnt to be manufactured on a large scale basis so that it wav economical to use them. The owner of any well managed business de pends on securing a large portion of his future business from repeat or ders This means that satisfied cus tomers are the goal toward which every reliable advertiser is working. This in turn means that the adver tising of standard goods from reli able manufacturers Is In guarantee of the reliability of the product. EXTRA EARLY TOMATOES. Tomatoes can be removed from the vines as scon a3 they reach the green-ripe stage. They can then be ripened with ethylene gas in halt the time it would require to ripen them on the vines. A tomato fruit is green-ripe as soon as the seeds slip to one side when a tomato is cut with a sharp knife. If the seeds are cut by the knife the tomato is not yet green-ripe. So far as is known at present, ethylene-npeneo fruits are of higher quality than air rioened fruits and are nearly com parable to vine-rtpened fruits. The cost of gas ripening is almost neg ligible. Ethylene gas is practically odorless, nonpoisonous, toxic to plants, and is only slightly lighter than air. thus it diffuses through a rocm and its contents of fruit. One part of the gas to 4.000 parts of air is approximately the correct con centration for ripening tomatoes. To determine the quantity of gas to use, measure the number of cubic feet in the ripening room and di vide by 4,000. This will give the number of cubic feet of gas to ap ply at each dose. Valving equipment is needed to release the gas in exact quantities. Reasonably air-tight rooms should be used and the doors kept closed. It is advisable to apply the gas just before closing the rooms for the night. One or two doses ev ery 24 hours is usually sufficient, denending upon the tightness of the room and the frequency with which the doors are opened. It may be ad visable to open the ripening room a few hours every day for aeration to eliminate any possible oxygen de ficiency. The green-ripe tomatoes are placed in the ripening room in ventilated crate?, and stacked in tiers on racks to insure free circulation of the gas. Fruit wrapped in paper will ripen very slowly. The optimum temperature for rapid ripening is 70 to 80 degreesFahrenheit. Storage of the fruit at low temperatures .before treatment slows up the subsequent ripening process. Fruit could be kept as long at 20 days at 52 to 54 de grees and then normally ripened with ethylerie if such a method was desired, as in the fall of the year. The crates are removed every few days to sort out the fruit that is colored sufficiently to market. Fruits that remain only partly colored after eight days might as well be discard ed, as they are too immature to be come edible. There is no danger to men working in a room where the gas is released in the recommended proportions. In high concentrations —one part of the gas to three parts of air—the gas Is explosive. In the low concentration used for ripening, the air-gas mixture is not explosive. --- PAINT FOR PICKOUTS Pickouts occur in the adult as well as in the growing flocks, and are not necessarily the result cf poor diet; as a matter of fact, probably few of these cases can be traced 'o this cause. The trouble Is mostly due to viciousness on the part of a few, and rapidly becomes a habit. Various remedies are used, but the best seems to be to put something on the birds that looks like blood and has a bitter taste. Some commercial preparations come in the form of a paste. This is ap plied in the vicinity of the vent or on the feathers; one of two picks cl it are enough to satisfy the birds, and the habit is quickly broken. One poultryman recently made up LAMB PROFITS The secret of lamb profits (and it really isn’t a secret) is this: Get spring lambs to market early in summer. This requires docking and castrating, liberal feeding, control cf parasites. Liberal feeding helps the lambs to withstand stomach worm infestation. It can net be relied on as a preventive, however. The same observation is true In con nection with roundworms of swine. Liberal feeding should be the rule always, and if the animals don't put on weight as a result, it’s time to suspect worms and to get rid of them. Lambs are inclined to be In dependent about eating grain when lus owr mixture, scarlet vermilion paint and quinine sulphate, usmg one ounce of the quinine to one half oint of the paint. He merely paints this anywhere on the feath ers, and the birds do not take a sec ond pick after one taste. SEED POTATO FACTS Most potato growers would like to know how many eyes thera should be on a seed piece. 'I hey would also appreciate a leal explan ation as to the size of such a seed piece and the relationship of the size of the seed piece to the time of planting. For growers of the Russet Rural main-crop potato an answer L» found in the recent work of one experiment station. This section finds that the earlier a Rus set Rural potato seed piece is planted the more likely it is that such a seed piece will produce a single sprout. When single-sprout seed pieces are planted more than 12 inches apart certain varieties, such as the Russet Rural, produce a larger proportion of big tubers. These overgrown potatoes are fre quently hollow hearted. Recent ex perimental work points out that where potatoes are held dormant un til the first of April and then planted, part will produce two sprouts and part will produce one sprout. Tire larger the seed piece the mure likely rt is to produce two sprouts. This same seed if held dormant until May and then pirn ted will produce two sprouts per piece with a few each or one sprout and threc-sprout pieces. If held in good condition until June the average number of sprouts from an ordinary size seed is about three. The longer the time elapsing between the end of the dormant period and the planting date the more sprouts there are produced per seed piece. The number of eyes on a piece does not have much in fluence or. the number of sprouts. The size of the piece is more im portant than the number of eyes. When one-ounce pieces produce an average of two sprouts per piece, tw'o-ounce pieces produce an av erage of three sprouts per piece. The two-sprout hills are the de sirable kind when spaced close enough. The minimum size piece which will support vigorous sprouts is about three-quarters of an ounce in weight. The sprouts from smaller pieces are noticeably weaker. Dan ger of large size tuber production is eliminated in such plantings by closer spacing. From 9 to 12 inohts in the rows and from 23 to 32 In ches between rows are best where such seed is used and when the soil is real potato soil. Early Mav plant ings on rich soil, where the best po tato-growing Dracttces are followed, make such close spacing and size of seed piece practical. transplanting One of the essential operations of gardening is transplanting. When a man can start with 200 lettuce seed lings, put them through two trans plantings and produce 200 lettuce plants in the garden, he must have some knowledge; that record isn’t due to luck. The first step in trans planting is to keep as much of the soil about the roots of the little plans as possible. Resetting may be such a shock to a plant that its death will follow. Careless removal from the plant-bed means that practically all the feeding roots of the plantlet have been left behind and serious wilting is certain to follow the operation. Do the work in the afternoon or on cloudy days. Make the hole in the row large enough to take the ball of earth about the plant. It is a good plan to put a small amount of water in the hole before resetting. Put the plant in its new heme, rake in some dirt, and press firmly into the soil. Be careful not to injure the base of the plant with the thumb and fingers. Pour a little more water on top of the hole and after it settles cover with dry soil. In warm climates, it is an excellent plan to put a shingle on the south side so as to protect from the midday sun. Also put a small paper collar around the plant to protect it from cut worms. This lat ter is of special importance when transplanting tomatoes, peppers and plants of like character. If there is danger of late frost, look Into the matter of plant protectors. Plants properly hardened off and careful ly set in the field seem to be chocked little, if any, by the opera tion of transplanting. PREVENTING LOSSES Some farmers prevent losses among calves, pigs, and poultry by being well informed on the causes of loss, and by being forehanded in knowing what to do. when to do it, and by actually carrying out the required practices. Take the prevention of “necro” and parasites in pigs, for example. The farmer who has his pigs farrowed in clean places miat. Effective fa smaller doses.
