European Methods
Shock U.S. Farmer
I OARNER, Iowa P Big
boned Jack Dethmers, comfort
nlilv well to-do after years of rugl
Bed work in the black rich suit
of Iowa, went abroad to see how
the farmers of other lands were
taring.
He was one of 22 curious Iowa
farmers who paid out $1,500
(l niece for a monthlang air trip
to see European conditions first
hand.
Pethmers has come back ap
palled at the hopelessness of
Europe's economic situation.
"Seems as If we knew less
when we got back than when we
started," he said soberly.
"We'll have to feed them the
people over there. And we can't
sell It to them because they're
already bankrupt. We'll Just have
to give it to tncm.
"It's either that or turn them
over to the Communists. The
feeling is pretty strong over
mere already.
The six-foot farmer, who work'
ed his own way un from hired
hand, was considerably shocked
lit caste and class barriers in
European lands which make it
difficult for men to better their
lot. Summing up his memories
Of Europe's distressed, he said:
"They can't understand why
we were so lucky to have been
born here and they so unlucky
to have been horn In Europe."
He told with a look of wonder
on his face of hungry Germans
searching potato fields that had
already been harvested.
"They picked up potatoes r.o
nigger than a bean, he said.
"But I suppose when one is hun
gry he'll pick un anything.
Dethmers said the English
farmers generally were trying to
deal honorably through regular
trade channels, but that In France
the farmers attempted to sell
their entire crop on the black
market. But the French have
thrown in the towel compared to
the English. The French beg for
help and make no bones about it.
The English still have their pride.
They say "We'll get along' and
they hate the thought of charity.
Of the eight countries visited,
he said, England was the only
one in which money didn't count
against the rationlns lules. He
recalled how one Scottish family
politely turned down his Invita
tion to take them out to dinner.
"We have no clothes to wear
for going out," the elderly wife
told him, "and even If we did It
would be Just for one meal and
we'd have to come back to our
old rations. But would you re
member n Just a little bit at
Christmas?"
Dethmers brought back a con
viction that European farming
methods are outmoded and will
have to be changed before ma
chinery can be used well.

Cut Costs on Turn.
It looks like the turkey grow
ers are going to get Into a tough
spot again this fall. Last year
about this time, the removal of
OI'A controls Just at the time
turkey grow-ers were ready to
sell knocked the spots off tur
key prices, with the result that
growers were lucky to break
even, and many lost money.
With everything plenty tough
agtiln this year, and prices Just
barely high enough to let most
growers out, we are asked to
go on an "auslerity program,"
to help tho starving, (and loaf
ing) peoples of Europe. As a
big part of that austerity, we
are to have a poultryless and
cggless Thur-tday every week
Of course the fnlrhaired hoys

so. We predict that the next

Horse Halts Operation
At Chicago Airport
CHICAGO, Oct. 13. IJF) A
stray horse got off the beam last
night and stopped operations at
Chicago's municipal airport for
30 minutes.
The horse appeared on the field
suddenly, IllcKed Its tall assembly, ;
and without clearance from the
control tower, galloped around
the busy runways.
Thirty planes were held in the
air awaiting an unobstructed run
way. Air takeolfs were delayed
while a squad car took off to
round up the frisky nag. The
chase took a bit of squad car ;
ground-looping before dobbin ;
finally was brought to nailer. i

Women's League
Wants Rationing
PORTLAND, Oct. ll.l.ipi
The Oregon league of Dmeo
cratlc Women said today that
Portland housewives apparently
feel they were better off under
price controls, and would like
some kind of rationing to bring
down high living costs.
The league said the first 300
questionnaires returned in a sur
vey to obtain data for the "cost-of-living"
congressional hearing
here Oct. 20 indicated these
trends.
Nearly all the housewives who
reported are using less meat now
than six months ago. Potatoes
and macoroni are their favorite
subsitute.
Nearly all are using less but
ter. Some have cut down on milk
and bread. Several eat fewer
eggs-
A number of answers said sav
ings were being used for day-to-diiy
expenses.
The noise of beetles, produced
by scraping one part ef the body
against another, is believed to be
a mating call.

Wormy Birds Don't Grow.
Make sure that your pullets,
turkeys and other poultry either
are, or are not full of worms.
If they are, there la one big
paying job for you to do, and
that Is to give each one a worm
pill. It will amaze you the dif
ference you will see In a few
days. You surely can't afford to
use high priced feed on poultry
worms.
At the Douglas Flour Mill we
have several worm treatments
and a coupla different kinds of
Individual pills. If the birds are
heavllv Infested, be sure to use
the pills.
