SINCLAIR’S VICTORY
Perhaps the most unexpected devel-
opment in the political campaign of
1934, so far, is the nomination of Up-
ton Sinclair, veteran Socialist leader,
as the Democratic candidate for gov-
ernor of California. He won the nom-
ination over three prominent regular
Democrats, one of whom was the par-
ty’s nominee for governor in 1930.
Upton Sinclair has been an inde-
fatigable worker for the cause of
Socialism for more than 30 years,
having been the Socialist candidate
for Congress in New Jersey as far
back as 1906. He was also the So-
cialist party’s candidate fox Congress
from California in 1920, for the Uni
ted States Senate in 1922, and for
governor in 1926.
He is the founder of the Intercolleg-
iate Socialist Society, which has been
actively devoted to the spread of So-
cialism in American colleges and uni-
versities, and wherever else it might
disseminate its doctrines.
How President Roosevelt views the
nomination of Sinclair by the Dem-
crats has not been disclosed as this
is written, but the situation which
has created is most interesting, and
will furnish the subject of much spec-
ulation during the remainder of the
campaign.

It may be surprising to many, as it
was to us, to learn that around a
j million pairs of wooden shoes are
manufactured and worn in the United
States eveiy year, but such is the
case, according to the Department of
Commerce.
Ten factories in eight states special-
ize nx the manufacture of wooden
footwear, which ranges from sandals
for women and children to heavy
work shoes for men. Soles from half
an inch! to three inches in thickness
are used, for the heavy shoes.
Prices of wooden shoes range from
$1 to ?3 a pair, while high boots with
wooden, soles bring $6. They are in
demand by workers in damp fields'
in certain parts of the country, and by
those in factories who must stand on
wet concrete floors. The movies and
the stage also use some of this pro-
duct.
Wooden shoe factories are located
in New York, New Jersey, Massaehu-
sett, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Neb-
raska* and Florida. They keep stocks
on hand for immediate delivery, just
as makers of leather shoes do, but
those used on the stage are usually
made to special order.

“What Better Gift
to the state than to teach and
train youth.” -ace™
This hank joins the community in
extending a welcome to the men and
women who this week take up their
duties in our schools to “teach and
train youth.”
The youth of today must soon as-
sume the burdens of business, gov-
ernment, and homemaking. It is our
duty and obligation to see that they
have every educational advantage.
Keep the boys and girls in school that
they may completely meet their res-
ponsibilities.

following the September hurricane,

Keys has 400 citrus trees 14 years old j

will be no burning of the young plants

garden is none too much. Where j
possible the seed bed should be al-
lowed to settle for several days after
the manure is applied so that the soil
will be more compact and germination
will be hastened.

Falfurrias—Although most of the
surface storage tanks: holding surplus
water for irrigation: rtt Brooks (Cbunty
are well stocked with fish,, these are
usually too small! for table use. It
remained for Roy Flack,, farmer in the
Flowella community, to devise a
method of feeding fish to promote
growth. Once a. week Mr. Flack
hangs a kerosene lantern over the
water for an hour or so-* and the fish
feed on the insects, attracted by the
light. From, a, tank SO feet in di-
ameter, Mr. Flack’s family is suppled
with all the fish it cares to eat.—

Goliad.—While corn is just com to
some people,, the value of good plant-
ing seed which has been carefully sel-
ected for uniformity of ears, prolifi-
cacy* and ability to stand dry weather
is outstanding in a season like the
present one. J. M. Pettus planted
about 18 acres of fine yellow deni seed
corn obtained through the county
agent from John Haschke of Gonzales
County. This corn in the hands of Mr.
Haschke was developed originally
from Northern Reid’s yellow dent
after 12 years of painstaking selec-
tion. Mr. Pettus’s corn has had one
light rain on it since planting, yet a
conservative estimate of the yield is
around 600 bushels on the 18 acres.
Mr. Pettus states that every stalk
has one or more ears on it, while
much of his common corn has no ears
at all. A couple of sample ears meas-
ured 12 inches long and carried 24
rows of grain. Average corn has from
12 to 14 rows of grain to the ear.—
K. J. Edwards, County Agent.

College Station—“Sufficient rain
has now fallen in many parts of Texas
for fall gardens to be planted,” says
J. F. Rosborough, extension horticul-
turist, “and now is the time to clean
off the weeds and prepare the soil for
fall gardens in other parts of the
state.” Seed should not be planted
unless the soil is supplied with mois-
ture to a depth of six or eight inches.
Seed planted following a light rain
will germinate, but if there is not
enough moisture to sustain plant life
the sprouting plants will die, Mr. Ros-
borough says.
To prepare the soil, plowing should
be shallow, not going deeper han four
or five inches. Immediately following
the plowing, the soil should be pul-
verized to prevent clodding.
Rotted stable manure is the best
fertilizer, as this material serves to
