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.

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

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

to make the world.
The chattering and rollieksome bobby-sockers are grouped in

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!

(let's rail a spade spade) bluff to
the people, that we have an oral-
nance prohibiting the sale 01

year it will be strictly enforced.
We have been getting (hat same

asked why the ordinance was not

old story, nothing done."
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

Only a couple of weeks tea a
car occupied by a couple of ncw

cars raced down Main street and
passed through the red light at
Central and a policeman looked
on and did nothing.
The police force has more to
do than take the monev out of

tickets for parking overtime. We
find that we have about the most
perfect, method to encourage a
disregard for law, also a disre

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."

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

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."
