last night that If his plan appear
otl to have a reasonable chance for
success they would welcome heart
ily the 2(0 families he propones to
bring to southern Oregon but they
don't believe it will work.
Directors discouraged Wilson,
president of the Long ft each, Calif.,
"Pioneer club" at a special meet
ing Tuesday evening, but their ad
vice hud little 'nppurent effect on
his good humor and intention to
bring 00 migrants to make a co

Wilson aid that on Wednesday
he was to make down payment In

families would be settled. The mi
gration is to begin from Long

Objections Listed
Niel R. Allen, at ate veteran lead
er und lawyer, summarized five
reasons "why this board does not
think your plan will succeed."
They were:
1. The SI. "00 to be set aside for
transportation home if the club
fails, l.iiT per head, is nut a suf
ficient amount.
L'. The SS.OiiU alloled 1,0 feed the
members for the initial five-week
period, which would mean H a
week or less than five cents a meal,
is an Insufficient amount.
:t. The cfub cannot market fil
ths basis locally, in tho directors'
opinion.
4. The club cannot obtain logging
equipment on a percentage of pro
fits basis locally. I nthe directors'
opinion, and cost of renting It for
cash would be tiw high to be feasi
ble. ii. The club will be unable to en
force its by-law t hat any member
may be assessed to t lie nmii oi uih
assets should the funds be needed.
Wilson, who said he had not yet
collected the required $25 per fam
ily, reported he had bought a $:HV

S. F. Italians Said
Teaching Fascism
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.
(AP) Carmelo Zito, editor of on
Italian language newspaper here,
asserted today that prominent Ran
Francisco Italians were spreading
fascist propaganda in northern
California and teaching fascist poli
cies to Iialian children in "after
hours" schools. . '
Zito, talking to interviewers, nafd
Italy's entrance Into tho European
war had split San Francisco's large
Italian colony into two sharply op
posed factions, but he said only 10
per cent of the Gn.floil Italians here
were fascist sympathizers. ...
Zito, who left Italy several years
ago because he opposed Mussolini's
policies, Ic editor of Corriere Del
Popo1), which circulates in the
densely populated north beach
Italian sector.
Zito said he had gathered text
books used to teach children in af
ter school hours, and that they
were full of pro-fas cist passages,
such as; t .
"Duce, If tha fatherland need
-us. rail us-and wo shalL.couie'.j.
"When I am big and when at last
I am a soldier, 1 too, as my lather,
shall fight for tho fatherland." ."I
shall take many flags and many
prisoners. I shall earn I don't
know how many medals. This is
(he duty ot all Italian children.
This Is your duty too, little Italian
child."

Here's Vegetables
To Plant in June
What chance hits thn Juno
pluntml ve(ietul)lo Ranfcn?
IhlK in a iniL'Hlioii ankoil by
many h late starter those days,
and the aiiHwer is good. Almost
alt or the vcnt'tnblos can bo plant
with succetts in late June.
Some of I he cool weather leaf
croiH, mii'h na lettuce and spin
ach, will not do so well, but al
most any of the root crops, tho
vtnoH, eic. will thrive.
Here is a list of veRetnblcs thnt
can be planted even in July: Kale,
ttweet corn, carrots, bush squash,
leans, summer and fall radishes,
celery, cabbace, turnips, swtss
chard, beets, cos lettuce ami en
dive; and there aro no doubt oth
ers. llrmember, when sowing late,
always sow early (quick nuilur-
iiir) varieties.
The thing to remember about
late pluntiiiKs Is tho length of
Ihetr season. In some of tho ex
treme northern climates, where
the season is very short, some of
these vegetables mtglit not be
successful if an early frost gets to
them. In practically all communi
ties, however, the list may be
planted with complete assurance
well into July.
Crops May Be Forced
The short season may be com
pensated for by forcing your
crops with good care, plenty of
moisture und plant food. Tho fact
lhat the weather is warm will
cause them to germinate ijulehly,
and If fed properly, or If planted
in a rich soil they will make con
siderably faster progress than thd
spring planted crops.
Sweet corn Is ono of tho best
crops to plant late. It Is a fast
grower In warm weather, und al
though an early frost might get
the best nf it. the cbanco of suc
cess is well worth your efforts.
Such crops as turnips and sunash
will not bo effected by a slight
frost.
Hint on Late Planting
If you got started very late, you
can always buy plant h of the
most tender crops, sucli as toma
toes. cnhlmgCf and H r u s s e I s
sprouts. Grow in i; them yourself
in little boxes is better.
If you will remember that a
lute planted garden must have ex
tra care In order to bring it to ma
turity in a shorter time, your
June or July plantings will be
successful. Good cultivation,
plenty of moisture and an applica
tion of t pounds of balanced plant
food to each HM siiuaru ieot, ure
the three watchwords.
