Juno 21, 1940 THE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE. PAGE THREE : I LABOR URGED 10 CONTRIBUTE to re cross SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 Calling upon lnbor "to do lis full pnrt at thli tragic period in the world'i history," Wil liam Orecn, president of the American Federation of Labor, today urged all affiliated unions and their members to support the American lied Cross drive for $20,000,000 war relief fund. In Joint statement with George Meany, AFL secretary treasurer, Mr. Green appealed to the membership as follows: "The American Red Cross has launched a campaign to ralae $20,000,000 for war re lief purposes. The officers and members of the American Federation of Labor have been asked to contribute to this cam paign. For this reason we are appealing to all national and International unions, state fed erations of labor, city central bodies and directly chartered local unions to respond to this humanitarian appeal . and to make such financial contribu tions as may be possible. "The Red Crou Is the one national and International or ganization created and equipped to collect funds and distribute relief to the victims of the cruel war which is being waged abroad. It Is a world-wide or ganization, established for one specific purpose, the extension of relief, the distribution of medical supplies, the extension of help and assistance to that part of the world's civilian population who have been vic tims of war and of war's ef fect. "The tragic stories which reach us from abroad, showing how neutral countries have been Invaded, cities been de stroyed, helpless women and children driven from their homes, many of them killed or Injured, touch us very deeply, It would appear from all the facts and Information which reach us that no previous war ever caused such wide-spread human suffering and destruc tion of property. Modern lm plcmenta of war have brought immeasurable- s u f f e r 1 n g In cities, villages, communities and homes with tremendous de vastating effects. At the pre sent moment we cannot ade quately appraise the extent of the destruction wrought and the number of lives lost. 'The need of the hour and tha call of the moment Is for service and help to the unfor tunate victims of the war who are passing through untold agony and misery in the war- Infected areas of Europe. The moment has arrived when we mutt make personal sacrifices. Let us give individually and collectively to the fullest ex tent of our ability. We can thus express our sympathy for aufferlng humanity In the most tangible and helpful way. "We can assure the' officers and members of the American Federation of Labor that the need for help and assistance Is very great. The probabilities are that even though we all give generously and freely we cannot meet more than the minimum requirements of suf fering humanity. Let us do that, at least. "Give Individually out of our earnings and your savings. "Give out of treasuries In such amounts as you may "find It possible to contribute." . DENTAL PROBLEMS MULLED AT MEET PORTLAND, June 21 CU.R, Socialization of medicine, and dentistry a n d the advertising dentist are the two big problems of tho dental profession, Dr. Leo M. Bolre of Portland, president of tho Stato Central association, told the group's 40th annual con vention Thursday. k. Ha warned that group power must be used wisely to protect the public from Ignorance of dental problems and "unthinking exploitation of politicians," in the trend toward socialization. Dr. Bolre said the dental board has "exhausted" Its' pos sibilities of regulating advertis ing dentists and further improve ments must come through legis lation. Ho complained that den tists still are allowed to adver tise In tho most blatant manner tho: fact that they give credit. Birds' nehts are Important export articles of the Malayan Islands.

Changes Noted in 1940 Spud Certification Rules Ring-rot will not be allowed In blue and red tag certified potato seed in 1U40, according to certlflctlon rules received at the county agent's office Thurs day. A special yellow tag grade may be used by growers which allows 1-10 per cent ring-rot In plants and not more than ono fourth per cent In tubers. Application for certification must be In the county agent's office by July 1. Tags from certi fied seed used and a skotch showing location of the planting must accompany the application. Fees to partly off-sot certifica tion costs are due at the time application Is mode. Two dol lars per acre for the first 10 acres and one dollar per acre for all acreage over 10 Is to bo charged. Tho minimum fee Is four dollars. Boys and girls clubs or Smith-Hughes potato projects are not subject to the fee except In excess of one acre. Wart Rejected Presonce of wart, eclworm, or tuber moth larvae will cause re jection. Requirements In regard to freedom from other diseases remain the same as last year. A maximum of six per cent vine discuses Is allowed. Of this, not more thun five per cent may be mild and similar mosaics, calico, giant hill or splndlo tuber, singly or In combination. One per cent may be witches broom and sim ilar diseases, rugose mosaic (in tuber-carried or current season forms), leaf roll, or similar dis eases, singly or In combination. Two per cent may be fusurlum wilt or other diseases and abnor mal conditions resulting In the prcmuture ripening of death of plants or Internal discoloration of stems. Not mora than two per cent blackleg may be present. Total percentage of vine diseases may not exceed six per cent. No potatoes can pass certifica tion when growing within 300 feet of potatoes too diseased to pass. Potatoes being grown on socond-year land are not likely to meet requirements of free dom from disease because of diseased volunteers which may be present. Refunds of half the fee will be made when rejection occurs at the first Inspection. Three field inspections may be made In addition to one or more bin Inspections at which time a thorough sample will be taken for fluorescence test or labora tory analysis. The fluorescence test consists of exposing cut sur faces of potatoes to certain length ultra violet rays. Ring-rot Infected areas reflect a pale bluish light Rogulng of diseased plants should start early In order to prevent spread, which occurs when aphlds move from plant to plant. The most successful grow ers of certified seed rogue four to eight times during the season. A bulletin describing potato diseases may be obtained at the time application for certification la made.

No charges are made until such year that a second application for inspection indicates that seed is to be harvested. Varie ties eligible for certification are Grimm, Ladak, Cossak, Baltic and Hardistan. New plantings for seed pur poses will give best results If seeded In rows about three feet apart. Plantings should be made only on land free of noxious weeds. Sweet- clover and any weeds present should be rogued from the field In order to pre vent lowering of seed grade or rejection.
