While the political pots are beginning to boil and
to call the kettles black, there are rumblings of explo-
sive portent in the air. Events and conditions grow
daily more complicated, with evidence on all sides of
inefficiency in leadership. At a time when the future
of this nation is at stake and the fate of freedom
throughout the world hangs in the balance it behooves
every American to face facts, however unpleasant they
may prove.
It is an old American past-time to grumble and
growl at those in public office, but the loudest critics
are usually the ones who are too busy to vote or who
piously explain that they don’t want to mix in “dirty
politics.” And so the stay-at-homers decide most elec-
tions and the apathetic citizens find themselves on the
side of the "dirty politicians’’ after all.

belongs to the right club or who knows the right
people, regardless of his proven ability. Mr. Average
Voter ignores all too often the need for sound business
experience in those who are elected to run his munici-
pal or state or national government. A background of
practical qualifications should be required of every
person who aspires to any office of responsibility or
leadership. A simple standard of efficiency based upon
proven business ability should be set up for those who
have the handling of the taxpayers money whether it

It is easy to carp and criticize while persisting in
giving aid and comfort to the enemies of good govern-
ment "by simple negative action. It is hard to hold up
the mirror of truth to ourselves and acknowledge the
fault is within us. Unless we are willing to elect men
and women of proven ability, loyalty and experience
we are deserving of muddle-headed misgovernment.
Never was it truer that “birds of a feather flock to-

The pear harvest will continue to go full swing for the rest of
this montth, and Winter Nelis and apples will be picked next
month The peach harvest is pretty well over except in some of
the later orchards
As soon as the fruit is off, the growers are faced with getting
in their winter cover crops The best cover crops are those which
are sown early in the fall
Vetch has been the standard cover crop in most orchards for
years, but in many cases it has not been doing very well, and when
cultivation time comes in the spring there was hardly enough
