Thursday; Feb. 24 perity. Its traditional fur business is not doing qultie as well as usual because pelts are'scarce, but it has a war plant which employs about 600 persons; its leather goods manufacturing is booming with war orders and the farmers who own some of the best dairy farms in Wisconsin are prosperous. Altogether this town of about 4,300 persons is thriving extremely well. Berlin, however, is not prospering quite as exuberantly as Paxton (111.), because dairying is not as profitable today as raising corn. Cattle have to be fed; and virtually every kind of feed is scarce. "Bootleg" corn--corn being sold above OPA ceilings^--is being bought in and around Berlin at $1.42 a bushel, even -as high as $1.65, compared with a legal ceiling of $1.05. Oats are bringing as much as 96 cents a bushel. With this background of prosperity the most prosperous people of Berlin are thoroughly dissatisfied with Washington. Many are convinced that President Roosevelt, or at least "Mrs. Roosevelt and the men who surround the President," a^re quite deliberately attempting tb convert the United States into a socialistic state, and are going about it jivith diabolical have wit: . 107 Head of Livestock Cons'sting of 33 Choice Holstein Cows and Heifers 2 Guernsey cows; 2 Durham cows; Holstein bull.

About 300 to 400 pounds of superphosphate for each cow, and 600 pounds for each 100 laying birds is enough, agronomists say. This should be used daily in the cow stable at the rate of two pounds for each cow, and in the poultry house at the rate of 20 pounds a week for every 100 birds. This r«Jnforced manure should be applied io the land at one-half to two-thirds the usual rate. This will cover many more acres of land on the farm, and improve crop yields more than heavy applications of manure and fertilizer to fewer acres.

' i'- seen several unfortunate demonstrations of bureaucratic bungling in their own town,' and they feel that Republican farmers of the North are being discriminated against in favor of Democratic farmers in the South. Coddling of Labor Unions Is Unpopular But above all, they feel that strong labor unions have been so "coddled" by the Roosevelt administration that they have acquired power out of proportion to their economic importance, and are responsible for many of the farmer's ills. Naturally, these generalizations are not universal, but they appear to be generally enough held to be representative. There is - little labor organization in the small industries of Berlin. In a vote takep among the employees of the Berlin-Chapman company, the local war factory, under the auspices of the National War Labor board, neither AFL nor CIO gained standing. People of Berlin still remember the granite quarry that closed years ago when employees struck to obtain higher wages for helpers. Workers were forced to accept lower wages in other quarries operated by the same company in nearby towns; and the Berlin quarry never reopened. One of the most vocal anti-New Dealers in the town is William H. Patey, editor and publisher of the Berlin Journal, a weekly newspaper. He believes the New Dealers in Washington are today's backward lookers. "Those reactionaries,he declares, "now say the people no longer have the mentality to run their own business--it must be done from Washington--give the farmers a will be ^wept out like autumn leaves." • I Mr. Patey uses the word bureaucracy a good deal. By that he means the overmultiplication of government bureaus by administrators determined to entrench themselves in public office and increase their political power. He sees evidence of this on all sides, but the demonstration given by the National Youth administration in Berlin has made one of the deepest impressions/ upon him. \ Big Business CanT Smash Little Fellow As for the place of small business after the war, Frank D. Chapman, owner and president of the Berlin- Chapman company, believes big business can never crush the small fellow. "Matter of fact, a man with real business ability can make more money running a small business himself than he can as president of a great corporalion," said Mr. Chapman. "Most of the smartest men I know in business are doing just that." So is Mr. Chapman. Before the war he made machinery for canning factories, having many patented devices to his credit. Now he is turning out machinery for the production of synthetic rubber, high octane gasoline and chemicals used in warfare. In addition, he is making compressors, which until recently were among the most critically needed of the critical components of war production. But he entertains no warmth for the administration, although in 1932 and 1936 he ran on the Democratic ticket. The local Democrats, who put most of their candidates into office then, could not accept him as a thoroughgoing member of their party. ^ "The administration is making a sloppy job of the war," he asserted. "The first New Deal taught people to be bums, and now they're trying to teach them to go to work, but they learned the first lesson too well. Labor leaders came out here ami told people to seize the factories. 'Maw' Perkins said she didn't see anything against sitting down. It'll take another generation of Americanism to get the workers back to working the way they did ten year* ago. "The New Deal has seen flt to place its ^ar contracts where it got its votes. It still places them in ! centers of the United States which I are short of housing facilities, labor | and manufacturing facilities. They i have closed up shops in Milwaukal, : Utah, and one factory in Kansas City; but they are still operating in the East. In my plant, we are : not working more than 50 per cent of maximum capacity, but we have j a surplus of manpower and plenty j of housing facilities. "The best brains don't go into the big companies, or they get out of them when they do get in. Small business will survive, despite the i growing power of the big boys, long as it keeps the best brains.' Don't Overheat Iron Guard against overheating your electric iron, if you want it to give good service. It not only wastes current but it causes a fire hazard and in time may cause the heater wire to break down. Form the habit , of disconnecting the iron every time you leave the ironing board, even to answer the doorbell or the telephone. You may forget to come directly back and a serious accident may result. It takes les» ,than two minutes for most irons to heat again to* the correct temperature for ironing, and it is always good policy to take time to be safe. Maintain pH Balance Test the soil and maintain corr rect pH (acid and a'kaline balance of the soil) for the crops you wish to grow. For the average vege* table garden, a pH, range of 6.0 to 7.5 is satisfactory. At th s pH rang® a greater proportion of the plant food in the soil becomes available and maximum growth and yields * are obtained. So do not lime you* soil until ypu have tested it. Overliming results in too much alkalinity:, and ti is is just as-harmful as a too acid condition. Simple soil testing outfits are obtainable at small cost from garden supply stores.

ELLA SCHWEMM Dwner . j Froelleh & Wick, Auctioneers * j Pabllc Aactlon Service O., Clerk j Editor W. H. Patey and a lot of people in Berlin, don't like big business because it reminds them of bureaucracy, and, in addition, the' dislike of so-called monopolies is an old Wisconsin trauition. Yet even in this area, Mr. Patey does not see the situation without shades of distill*. tion. "There's Henry KaiSfer, and Henry Ford, and Wendell Willkie. They have an attitude of helpfulness not selfishness. Take Henry Raiser. He hasn't anything against unions as such. Whep they are well managed, he says they take half the load off him in getting out production. Willkie wants to fight labor racketeers but he will fight for the men in the unions. But he's against the cheap racketeers who farm labor--mate their living from cheating workers." Treat All Birds When treatments for lice or mites are .made, all birds in the flock should be included. One or two left untreated will SOOB reinfest the entire flock. Diamond Tools * Diamon4 tools are used for cutting, polishing, and grinding highgrade steel alloys.
