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." .

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.
Alfalfa Rules Unchanged
Rules for alfalfa certification
have not changed. Certified seed
must be planted on land free of
volunteer alfalfa and not hav
ing been In alfalfa for five
years. Application for certifica
tion must be made at planting
time. A sketch showing location
of the planting and the certifi
cation tags from seed planted
must accompany the application.
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.
