Acreage Wheat Allotments To Be Effective in 1951 Wheat acreage allotments will be in effect for the 1051 wheat crop, according to word re ceived today from the depart ment of agriculture by Frank A. Rowe, manager of the Jackson county production and market ing administration office. Rowe explained that each yeiir the national allotment of wheat acreage is fixed on the basis of estimated needs for the coming year, after making al lowance for the supply of wheat on nand after Julv 1, 1950 Proclaimed Each Year The legislation under which wheat acreage allotments are established requires that they be proclaimed each year by the secretary of agriculture unless a national emergency exists, Rowe said. Jackson county's al lotment Is being computed now ty. the county PMA committee and final adjusted figures should be completed by Friday. Farmers who seeded no wheat (luring 1 948. 1049 or 1B50 mnv apply for a 1951 wheat acreage allotment. To be considered for an allotn.eni on a new farm, the farmer must apply in writ ing to his county PMA commit tee by July 1, 1950, according to Rowe. The application must contain evidence that the land for which an allotment Is re quested Is suitable for the pro duction of wheat and that the operator will be largely de pendent for his livelihood on his farming. Uie MaU Tribune Want Adi New York Citv. N. Y.. June 14 Water restrictions on wash ing motor cars and building exteriors have been lifted. This in spite of the fact that with the dog days approaching, water outgo exceeds water intake by several million gallons daily. However, for the first time storage supply is practically the same this year as last at the same date (over au per cent), ana apparently, li is figured, a calculated-risk can be taken. A large portion of the apartments and residences in this im mediate neighborhood are either faced or trimmed with white stone. In modern Manhattan, this white stone doesn't remain white long, and with the lifting of water restrictions, clean-up gangs are now busy with special power hoses and special tools. Dark stone is turned to white stone as the workers move from section to section a more striking evidence of the effect of New York City's "smog" could hardly be imagined. Coincidcntly a new drive to clean up the litter from 14th to 72nd has been launched. (Why Harlem should be exempted we can't see perhaps that vile and unkempt section will face a clean up later.) It is amazing what a difference a bit of law enforcement can make. There were 371 "summonses" issued yesterday, and this morning we walked on East 70th to East river. In comparison with a week ago the street was transformed not exactly spotless, but empty cans, overflowing garbage containers and dirty papers fly ing about, had practically disappeared. When word gets around a riirtv sidewalk and front steos may mean a fine of from $2 to $5 even a greater improvement may be observed. The British eovernment's "executive committee" declares against cooperating in the French-German effort to integrate west ern Europe's economy because of the confusion that might result. Contusion is good! mere win rje someining iar more serious in Europe than "confusion" if Great Britain places its precious social istic ideology above ine weitare oi tne democratic wonai The Brooklyn Dodeers and the New York Yankees were both beaten last night by the Chicago Cubs and White Sox respectively. The Dodgers are now three games behind the league-leading Card inals, and Detroit is leading the "world champs" by 27 percentage points. Thus have the mighty fallen! We still exDect the Yankees will win out In the American League; but unless the Dodgers get a new and better pitching staff they will be lucky to end up better than third. Newcombe, the negro twirler, is the best they have but he isn't half the man he was a year ago. As lor the others tney etc., etc.! To return to "calculated risks." It has long been the belief of this department that u is not America's "billion dollar" military program that is preventing Soviet Russia from launching a "hot war." It is neither American might nor the Atlantic pact that is giving the Kremlin pause. It is instead the realization that if Russia should start a war, it would be a war to the finish and that in such a war. the superior in dustrial "know-how" and natural resources of the U.S.A. would ultimately render a Russian victory impossible. In other words. it is not America s ACTUAL, military mignt as oi today, dui ner military POTENTIAL via the long pull that is keeping Uncle Joe "a good boy" behind the iron curtain. No lool is Uncle Joe, he is not going to make the fatal mistake Germany under the Kaiser and Hitler made. So-o-o-o-o It WOULD involve a calculated risk. But we believe Uncle Sam could safely concentrate more and more on increasing indus trial nroduction. and less and less on increasing purely military expenditures, during the next four or five years. Certainly there is no justification for endangering a sound business economy, by the astronomical expenditures which some of the munition magnates and militarists now recommend, for war purposes only. There are Dan-handlers and beggars In New York not many but one pan-handler on Madison between 65th and 69th has solicited your correspondent nan a dozen times, in iaci we nave struck up quite an acquaintance we gave him two-bits a couple of times because the young man looked so sick, but have merely kidded him since then. He looks like a drug addict, pale, drawn, nathetic. and may be, but he aienies it: claims he has pernicious aenemia and is merely trying to get Vitamin 12 which is a sure cure but expensive. Quite a problem beggars and pan-nandiers, nere in new York or any large city. Some look so appealing and pathetic, as this vounii man does (he may be in his late 30's) and their appeal so convincing. And yet they must be fakes or worse, because if they were deserving they could get on relict. For relief is not dif ficult to procure in New York last summer two elderly sisters on relief comnlained because thev failed to eet their checks while on a tour oi Europe! yjon t laugn, mat s the trutni) Also there are "Drosnectors" in this bubbling and soiled cos- mopolis. They are not searching for gold in the hills, they are searching for money and jewels on the streets, and especially below the sidewalk gratings. According to the policeman in this precinct, they make a fairly good thing of it. With eight or nine million Deonle milline around, day after day, naturally consider able change is dropped, and some jewels ditto. At any rate these metropolitan prospectors spend their time looking along the curbs and crannies ditto the iron gratings for what they may procure. Some are equipped with fishlincs and horseshoe magnets believe It or not we saw one of them pull hatt-a-dollnr up from a sidewam grating down on Park avenue and 45th street. As has been ob served in this department often before it takes all sorts of people to make the world. The chattering and rollieksome bobby-sockers are grouped in front of the hotel again, so Bing must be back. He has been ex pected by the management but how these school gals get wind of It, remains a mystery. It also seems strange the Medford delegation never runs Into him he and his entourage nave a suite on the floor below and yet we never see or seldom hear him. In our last communique we referred to the fact the Harvard Rain-Maker had gone up again in his plane to seed the clouds the day before. Well it rained yesterday and is still raining today. Only once has the Rainmaker admitted his efforts induced rainfall, yet practically every time he goes UP the rain comes DOWN. How come? According to our special operator In the valley. G.T. is secret ly practicing up his golf game to increase his income when R.W.R. returns. Ok, ok. But the match will have to be played under P.G.A. rules, If a ball is picked up on the green, fairway or rough, It costs two strokes. At Ardmore Sunday, Mangrum picked up his ball on the green, merely lo shake off a green aphis and thereby lost two strokes to Ben Hogan. It will also be against the rules to tee up on a dandelion!

Mr. Rulil wrote a very good editorial on this verv same thing on July 12. 11141), urging the city to repeal or enforce the law. Same results, nothing done. About the first of April we got another so-called warning, being told that we had an ordinance prohibiting dogs from running at large and that they now had a dog catcher, and the ordinance would be strictly enforced. We checked with the police Judge and found that not a single fine has been imposed yel the do.s are running loose all over town. All we have Is another man be ing paid to fall to do his duty. Only a couple of weeks tea a car occupied by a couple of ncw lywedt followed by four other cars raced down Main street and passed through the red light at Central and a policeman looked on and did nothing.

Washington, June 20 (U.R) I have a young friend who has great promise of becoming a good journal- At a iftatter of fact, my pal already is in the newspaper business. Patsy Kirby divides her time between putting o u t a newspaper, go ing to school, in s e a s o n and playing with her dolls. Herman Nichols Patsy is all of 11 years old. Her daddy, Edward W. Kirby, used to be a newspaperman himself and now is a public re lations man about town . He claims he did not push or pull his cute little girl into the pub lishing business. She thought it up herself. Patsy has come a long way already. She has been hunt pecking a typewriter since she was four and can out-type this humble one and most other news men I know. The little girl mils out one of today's strangest publications. There is but a single typed copy and her news-stand is the coffee table at home. Family Reads It the family passes it around after supper on publication day. It comes out whenever the spirit moves Patsy, which is often. She does the whole thing her self, even to writing all of the headlines. A recent issue had this bannerline: "M. Kirby Buys New Ward robe, Accessories, Etc." (All the words sDelled correct ly.) M. Kirby is Marlone Klrbv her mother. The item read: M. Kirby is a bloomina model. In the short course of a week, she has accumulated a pair of red shoes, three new dresses, a red handbag and a bottle of perfume. Next week there will be other dresses. which have been altered. Next time she walks down the street." Musical Note. Written At this noint. younc Editor Kirby pencil-wrote some musical notes, h i n ti n g that the boys might give her mother the old wolf whistle. Under this item was another having to do with the family wardrobe. It was about E. W Kirby her old man. "E. W. Kirby," it said, "is also getting a new outfit. A tan suit, a blue suit, etc. There is one thing left on his shopping list; something to grow hair." Patsy doesn't leave herself out., bhe had one headed: "P. Kirby May be a Prize Winner." It told about the young lady placing an entry in a contest the first prize a trip to Alaska. The little "paper'' is section ized. after a fashion. For in stance, on one side of the paper she has a column called "Spell Our Authors" with some of the words spelled correctly and some not. Down at the bottom of the next column are the wrong ones, spelled right. 1 "They can't catch me." she said. "I look em' all up before I type them out."
