Reel America at the Cross Roads The United States of America is at the cross roads. Down one road runs the path to dictatorship and involvement in the European war. Down the other lies the path to neutrality and peace. Soon the Congress will be called upon to act on the most important piece of legislation that has ever confronted our national legislative body. Upon our lawmakers rests the responsibility of deciding whether or not our nation will remain a democracy and our people a free people or whether we will trod the path to dictatorship and strife. If the so-called lease-lend bitf, introduced under a misnomer of "a defense bill" for the purposes of propagandizing and hoodwinking the American people, with its pleasant sounding phrases but concealed therein insidious grants of unrestricted power to the Chief Executive, then whether the people of our nation like it or not and whether they believe it or not, we wilt have an actual dictatorship in tlje United States of America. During the pact week the House Committee on Foreign Affairs heard testimony given by Secret tary of the Treasury Morgenthau, Secretary of State Hull and Secretary of War Stimson. Numerous clashes occurred between interventionists and men who believe that our own national welfare should be our paramount concern. One of the highlights of the hearings to date was a statement made by Secretary of War Stimson that he would be opposed to any amendments to the bill* which would prohibit the transfer of United States Naval vessels to a foreign power. By this statement the Secretary implied that i# the President desired at any time to transfer the whole or any part of the Navy of the United States to the possession of a foreign nation, he, as a Cabinet member would acquiesce in the transfer. In the opinion of the writer this statement by the Cabinet minister discloses the objectives back of the bill which the Chief Executive is asking the Congress to pass. Apparently plans have already been formulated for the transfer of our Naval units to foreign waters. Surely there can be but one result if the sought for legislation is enacted into law. Hm people.of the United States will find themselves under a dictatorship, the nation will be plunged into the war, and it will not be long before our boys will be called to follow the ships. Millions are being spent for war intervention propaganda and terrific efforts are being made to get the American public into a 'war fever." Let's keep our feet on the ground, our heads clear, and our American boys in America. Our veterans' hospitals are filled to capacity now as the results of our participation in the last conflict. Your Congressman is against intervention and war.

PLATT . . _CA' •S MciaM PouUltrayi reHnuistbya.)n imtm, Rutgtn In selecting breeding hens this fall, consider physical development and breed type as well as egg production during the last 12 months. One of the best means of measuring the physical development is the body weight of the birds, and in the white leghorn breed no individual that weighs less than four pounds should be considered for breeding purposes, while five pounds should be the minimum weight for hens of the heavier breeds, such as Rhode Island Red and Barred Plymouth Rock. It fe likewise just as important that the eggs the b?rds have laid have been large enough to sell for the best prices; namely, that they have averaged better than 24 ounces to the dozen, and in addition, have been of good shell color and strong shell texture. These factors of egg quality must receive due considera tion in any selection of birds for breeding purposes. If sufficient breeding records are available, the pedigree of the bird should receive due consideration, care being taken to use hens that have had a good ancestry and whose sisters have shown a tendency to satisfactory egg production. Such a background is an indication of strength in the breeding value of the stock. While it may not be possible to obtain many birds that come up to the standards suggested, still a small pen of such individuals would give much more promise of better stock in future years than a larger pen of birds showing weaknesses of an inherited nature. &(axiouB-Weed Seed r DestroyetMfi Silage Put weedy hay crops in the silo instead of the stack or mow, to stop the spread of weeds. This is the substance of advice to farmers which T. E. Woodward, of the bureau of dairy industry, offers on the basis of experiments with seeds of noxious weeds buried in ensilage when silos were filled at the Beltsville research center. Of 26 varieties of weed crop seeds that went into the silo, 23 were killed outrjight, and the germination of the other three--bindweed, Lespedeza sericea, and American dragonhead mint--was greatly reduced. Many farmers have burned clippings from weedy pastures and hay from weedy meadows because they were unwilling to take a chance on fouling cultivated fields with the weeds in the manure hauled from the feed lot. When weedy material goes through the fermentation in the silo and then through the diges tive process of animals there is no likelihood that weed seeds will be troublesome. The silo and the live stock will safeguard the cultivated fields, and the farmer can safely get out of the weedy material any feed values that exist. Johnson grass seed was one of the varieties killed completely in the silo, and this suggests that making silage instead of hay may provide a new and safe way of making use of the good feed values of Johnson grass without the danger of spreading the. seed to cultivated fields through manure. Old, Used Wood Is Good as New Wood taken from old buildings can be safely used for other purposes, according to the U. Si forest products laboratory at Madison, Wis. Age in itself'does not cause wood to deteriorate in strength. If the material is free from decay, insect attack, checks, splits, or other defects, it should be good for re-use for any purpose for which the lumber was originally suitable, the forest products laboratory points out. The principal cause of damage to wood in buildings is decay and decay cannot occur unless a certain amount of water is present, says the laboratory. In old buildings in which the sheathing, roof boards, floors, and other wooden parts have been well protected from the weather the wood will, in practically all cases, be" as sound as when first erected. Wood may darken with age, but it has lost none of its original strength characteristics. There can be no objection to reuse of lumber simply because it has been in use.
