Deal Allegedly
Made To Get Farm
Vote for Sen. Tait ,
Dallas, Tex. U.B Secretary
Of Agriculture Charles F. Bran
nan charged Thursday that Alan
B. Kline, American Farm Bureau
Federation president, would" be
in line for Brannan's Job if Sen.
Robert A. Taf t were elected pres
ident. Kline denied it.
Brannan told 50th anniversary
convention delegates of the Na
tional Farmers Union, chief rival
of the Farm Bureau, that Kline
bad promised Taft the farm vote
in the 1952 election.
Brannan, who voiced the
charge in his address, said the
national leadership of one farm
"organization" had made a "de
termined attempt ... to take
the organization they head into
a political party, lock, stock and
barrel."
He called it "a policy of pol
itics first, agriculture and the
nation second."
In Chicago, Kline replied that
Brannan's charge of deals was
"falsification."

Remember this; Tree grow!
Every year they grow they make
money for you. You don't pull up
the carrot patch when it is half
grown and expect to make any
money. You do thin the carrot
patch and get bigger carrots and
more cash. .
Let's talk about your woodlet for
just a minute and discu3s some ot
the types and kinds of trees grow
ing there before we talk about
managing your trees.
If you have a typical farm wood
lot found throughout Washington
and Oregon west of the Cascades
here's what you'll find: (a) some
young seedlings . and saplings,
(b some poles about 35 years old,
and (c) some saw log trees.
Seedlings and saplings: Here is
a young forest which has seeded in
from close by seed trees. Fire has
been kept out There will be about
2500 trees to an acre, 10 to 12 feet
tall and 2 inches in diameter. What
good is this "brush" you may ask?
A sapling stand will yield Christ
mas trees, posts and fuel. You may
even find some old cedar wind
falls or big trees left by early
loggers. These are worth money
today. .
Your poles will be about 35 years
old and there will be about 350)
trees to an acre. They will range
from 6 to 16 inches in diameter and
the trees will be TO to 90 feet tail.
These trees will produce -fence
posts, fuel, pulpwood, occasional
poles and piling and small saw logs.
Some of your woodlot will have
saw log trees. These trees will be
about 80 years old, will range from
6 to 30 inches in diameter and will
average from 110-150 feet tall.
There may be anywhere from 50
to 100 on each acre. The larger
trees will be Douglas fir, the
shorter ones hemlock and cedar
which will grow in the shade of
the larger trees.
These forests contain many valu
able products, and generally ex
perienced foresters should be
consulted' to get best possible re
turn as well as to develop a good
harvesting plan. Larger trees will
make good saw logs. Best logs will
bring premium as peelers. In addi
tion you can take off crops of poles,
piling, fuel, pulpwood, posts each
year and still leave a good, growing
stand. N'ext we'll tali about how to
keep the goose-trees that lay the
golden eggs.
(For more particulars write your
Stare Forester aft lympia, Washington
or Salt-m, Oregon for your frre copy of
"YOUR TRKKS A CHOP," how to
grow and harvest them in the Douglas
fir region.)
WOULD LET KIDS SMOKE
Greenwich, Conn. (U.R) The
board of education is sounding
out" parents on the idea of per
mitting high school students to
smoke on school grounds during
stated periods. A member of the
board, Leonard S. Clark, said,
"In these days when parents per
mit smoking it makes it impos
sible for us to prohibit it."
DRUNK MUFFS BALL
Jackson, Tenn. U.R). A
drunk, out to satisfy the police
man who had let him go on con
dition that he run straight home,
was under custody moments
later. The suspect started run
ning, looked back over his shoul
der to see if the cop was follow
ing and crashed into a store win
dow.

New Braunfels, Tex. -U.P
Two blind -flying B-29 Super
fortresses collided in flight and
crashed and exploded on the
barren brush country near here.
The Air Force said Thursday
that all 15 men . aboard were
killed. .
D. C. McDonald, an eye wit
ness to the crash, said one of the
B-29s approached the other from
the left and rear. It .chewed into
the leading plane's fuselage,
shearing the tail off.
Falls on Back
The forward section of the
crippled plane, carrying eight
men, "fell right down on its
back,"- McDonald said, and
burst into flames when it hit.
"Its tail section floated down
a few minutes later," McDonald
said. The second plane "main
tained its altitude and course for
several minutes longer," Mc
Donald said, "then . . . went into
a steep glide and hit."
Explodes on Impact
It also exploded on impact,
four miles from the spot where
the first plane crashed Wednes
day.
Authorities at Pandolph Air
Force base, where the B-29s were
based, said both planes had can
vas covers over the cockpits as
part of the instruction of the
students on transition training.
Officials could offer no ex
planation of why none of the
seven men in the second pla"ne
parachuted. No radio distress
signal was sent out by the plane.
England Austerity
Reduces Rations;
Food Still Cheap
London (U.R) England is the
home of austerity, and this is
what austerity means:
Meat, bacon, butter, margar
ine, fats, cheese, sugar and tea
are rationed. What there is of
food is relatively cheap for the
English worker, however.
The average manufacturing
worker makes 165 shillings
($23.10) a week. The average
metal worker gets about 179 shil
lings ($24.76) and the building
trades worker 161 shillings
($22.54).
The worker gets one shilling
and twopence (about 16 cents)
worth of meat each week for
himself and the same amount of
each member of his family.
Meats differ in price but steak,
for example, is about two shil
lings and eightpence (37 cents)
a pound.
Not Much Meat
That shows how little meat
he eats, even when the meat ra
tion goes up slightly over two
shillings a week, which it does in
peak periods.
He also gets four ounces
three or four slices of bacon
a week. Bacon is from two
shillings eight-pence (37 cents) to
three shillings onepenny (44
cents) a pound.
Margarine Cheaper
He gets four ounces of mar
garine at one shilling twopence
(16 cents) a pound; one and a
half ounces of cheese at around
two shilling (28 cents) a pound,
and two ounces of tea at around
four shillings (56 cents) a pound.
Potatoes are two and a half
pence a pound (about three
cents). A head of lettuce costs
about one shilling (14 cents).
Austerity doesn't much affect
the night life, sports attendance
and movies. Since food is subsi
dized and cheap the British fam
ily has money left for some entertainment.
