laughing at the circus effect they repainted them a somber brown

'Clean7 Land Best
For Growing Seed
For Certification
Growers should make sure
land on which they intend to
plant is eligible for certification
before buying and planting high
priced seedstock, County Exten
sion Agent W. B. Tucker stated
today. Land requirements are
an important part of seed certi
fication, he said.
Certification rules include re
strictions on field history to pre
vent contamination by volunteer
plants from previous crops, ac
cording to the county agent. In
order to avoid crop mixtures, a
certified field must not have
grown a different variety of the
certified crop for one or more
years, Tucker explains.
Clean Field, Clean Seed
One of the best ways to pro
duce clean seed is to begin with
a clean field, he adds. Most leg
ume seed crops are inspected in
the seedling stage for certifica
tion in Oregon. The main reasons
for this seedling inspection are
to check for volunteer crop
plants nad for proper field iso
lation. Fields must be free of
volunteer plants of the crop to
be grown for certification.
Tucker suggests that, in order
(o avoid expensive mistakes,
growers should study certifica
tion rules carefully. Complete
rules for certification are on file
in the county agent's office.
Man Finds Stranger
Meant What He Said
Spokane (U.R) Eugene J. La
velle told police this story:
He was walking in a down
town area minding his own busi
ness when a hefty stranger stop
ped him.
The stranger said, "Don't say
a word or I'll punch you in the
nose."
"Go ahead," Lavelle replied.
Lavelle received emergency
treatment for a deep cut on his
nose and forehead.
Bricks in Front Yard
End Man's Retirement
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) A min
ing bonanza in his own front
yard brought 80-year-old Tony
Battalia out of retirement.
-'Battalia dropped his life of lei
sure to become a brick miner.
Battalia was leveling out his
yard when he struck a brick. He
kept digging and presently had
uncovered over 3,000.
Battalia isn't sure whether it's
an old brick wall. He thinks his
lot once was the site of brick
yard. Anyway, common bricks bring
$35 a thousand.

Primed for Annual
AAA Economy Run
Los Angeles T went y-nine
new automobiles entered in the
1952 Mobilgas economy run are
lined up in the General Petro
leum Corporation garage here
awaiting the signal Monday
which will send them on a three
day trek to Sun Valley, Ida.
The first lap on the run is a
515-mile, 13-hour drive to Grand
Canyon, where the contestants
will spend the night while the
cars are kept under guard. The
second day will be an even
longer haul, 575 miles in 14
hours to Salt Lake City.
Long Trips
Wednesday's trip into Sun Val
ley will cover 325 miles in eight
hours. On arrival at Sun Valley
the drivers will have traveled
a total of 1,415.4 milei in 35
hours driving time.
In addition to the driver, each
car will ' carry a relief driver,
American Automobile associa
tion observer and one other pas
senger. The observers are Cali
fornia Institute of Technology
engineering students deputized
by the AAA to see that the rules
are obeyed.
Elaborate arrangements have
been made with authorities in
all four states to smooth the way
for the automobile entourage.
The cars will stop for refueling
at Blythe, Williams, Marble Can
yon, Beaver, Salt Lake City and
Twin Falls. Nine AAA officials
will be posted at each of these
stops to supervise refueling and
to see that none of the 80 seals
on each car is removed except
for legitimate reasons.
Awards Posted
Trophies will be presented in
11 price classifications and the
sweepstakes. Each car will com
pete for top honors with others
in its own price range and all
vie for the sweepstakes award.
The sweepstakes is determined
by the ton-miles-per-gallon sys
tem. The weight of the car and
passengers is multiplied by the
number of miles travelled and
the result divided by the gallons
of gasoline consumed. The sys
tem is designed to give all cars,
heavy or light, an equal chance.
The purpose of the event is to
show the average motorist the
potentialities of the modern au
tomobile when it is properly
driven, serviced and fueled.
Brussels U.R) The failure
of King Baudouin of the Belgians
to attend the funeral of King
George VI of Britain has alerted
Belgian parliamentarians to sev
eral potential dangerous ques
tions. The questions remained un
settled after King Leopold had
abdicated in favor of his son
last July.
Both government and opposi
tion members have been seeing
the king frequently In an effort
to settle the problems. The issue
ould wreck the uneasy truce
on the royal question which fol
lowed Leopold's abdication.
The most important question
under discussion between the
king and parliament, according
to parliamentary sources, is that
of Leopold's residence.
Prince's Status Questioned
The status of Prince Alex
andre, nine-year-old son of Leo
pold and his morgantic wife,
Princess De Rethy, is also re
ported to be under discussion.
The government moreover has
the task of explaining to the
young monarch just who wields
the power in Belgium.
The potentially dangerolus
character of these questions was
thrown into relief by Baudouin's
failure to attend the funeral of
King George. Baudouin was re
ported to be resentful over Brit
ain's treatment of his father.
The government was threat
ened when the failure led to a
motion of censure against it by
the chamber of deputies
Public opinion was left with
the uneasy impression that Bau
douin acted without the govern
ment s consent and was more
loyal to his dethroned father
than to his state responsibilities
It was Leopold s surrender of
his army in 1940 without the
government's consent which led
to six years of strife and near
revolution in Belgium.
Although it has never been
publicly mentioned that Leopold
was influencing his son, the
problem of their living together
in Laeken Palace has been
raised privately by parliamen
tarians. Many are in favor of
giving Leopold a new residence.
At various times it has been
speculated that Leopold would
take up residence in the Belgian
Congo and recently questions
were asked in parliament about
renovating the royal villa at
Knokke on the sea coast.
Prince Alexandre's status Is
a tough constitutional problem.
When Alexandre was born, Leo
pold decreed that the prince
would have no rights of acces
sion to the Bclginn throne, but
legal-minded Belgians point out
that no matter what Leopold
decreed, the prince is constitu
tionally third in line of acces
sion.
The Belgian constitution states
that male descendants of Leo
pold I have a claim to the
throne.
Alexandre, as Leopold's third
son, thus could claim the throne
if Badouin and Leopold's sec
ond son, Albert, died, no matter
if his mother is a commoner.
Alerted by the uproar and diD
in Baudouin's popularity over
the funeral, the government and
opposition are now taking steps
to tie up the explosive loose ends
of the royal question.
While these delicate negoti
ations are proceeding between
the young king and his parlia
ment, King Leopold prepared to
embark on a long sea voyage
which it was reported would
take him to Cuba and Ceylon.
