It is an open secret at the conference that the Russian representatives are tensely waiting for news of an at tempted Jap sneak attack—in Pearl Harbor pattern—on the port of Vladivostok, or some other Seviet strong point. Word is said to have reached the Russian embassy Washington that Japan is moving troops out of China and Korea northward to the Siberian-Manchurian border.

The Japs, while they undoubtedly know that the game . is up, might expect to win a temporary advantage by a sneak attack in force, before Russia can transfer troops and equipment from the German theatre. They also know that Russian troops are at their best in winter warfare—and for that reason might hope to force the issue during the summer. _ Whatever the treacherous Nips may be up to, however, it is doubtful whether they will be able to duplicate the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

All the conquests that Hitler stood for—the exterminaspahaine of his death is one of those occasions, and that the body presented to verify the confused claims broadcast from Germany was that German leader died cowering in a Berlin cellar; another that he fell at tion of the Jews, the annihilation of communist Russia, world dominatoin by Germany-—are ¢ is concerned, Adolf Hitler, the little man who mesmerized his people'to murder and torture through years of bloody aggression, might as well be dead and gone, too.—Contributed. cone.

When the secretary of agriculture asked for an increase in pork production in 1941, the feed. hog ratio was unfavorable but the farmers delivered the increase. ‘The following years a production increase was ask. cover ed, but grain prices were lower and and swine producers turned out a record crop of 121,000,000 pigs. bers of all types of livestock had surpassed our feed production. There was a ceiling on live pigs and no stable ceiling on feeds. houses were unable to handle the peak load which moved to slaughter and hogs :sold at the floor insteaf of at the ceiling. This created an unfavorable feed, hog ratio. Ceilings on corn were raised twice, but the ceilings on hogs remained fixed. The 1942 corn, hog . ratio of 1 to 15 fell to 1 to 10.5 vy the summer of 1944. The pig crop of 1944 dropped 34,000,000 head. Slaughter for 1944 remained high because producers were liquidating their breeding herds. Pork was 52 per cent of our total meat supply. The slaughter of hogs is now under 50 per cent of that of a year ago, and this means a 26 per cent meat ¢ut in our total meat supply and a sharp reduction in fats. Last year we slaughtered a record number of: cattle, including 42 per cent of our total calf crop. Many of these calves should have been held over to go to market as yearlings or 2 year olds, next year. Range men were culling their herds heavily last fall, accounting for the heavy slaughter of beef cattle. At best, beef can make up only a small part of this year the loss of tonnage in pork production. PLAN 1946 CONSERVATION— Farmers in Nevada County are meeting this month to plan 1946 AAA conservation practices, according to L. .E. Sleeman, chairman of the local AAA county . committee, who stated: “The 1946 conservation program will be based on farmer recommendations as-far as is consistent wtih current legislation and budget.” The conservation handbook will be issued early in the fall so farmers may understand the practices thor-oughly before the program vear begins January 1. 1946. there wag a favorable feed hog ratio. .

The prob-. lem is to restore growing plants ta the soil with their leaves and hold it with their roots before rain can get to the soil and wash it away. Of nearly 100 plants tested for seeding, black mustard has proved<most desirable. It is fine and light—-275.,000 seeds to the ponnd—and smooth so that it settles quickly and evenly wheh sowed from plane. It sprouts quickly with even slight moisture . and roots rapidly, it is an annual that reseeds well, but dies the first year and forms a litter of dead tops. It heals the scar of the burn, but is not so persistent and permanent that it competes for long with the plants natural in chaparral and forest cover. The 1944 flood control act provides $100,000 for emergency work on watersheds whose patural cover has een destroyed suddenly. In areas where mustard thrives, the forest service is expecting to start planes broadcasting mustard almost as soon as the ashes cool, in the hope that the saving mustard will be able tio do its work before a destructive rain, JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder what may now be done, To educate the conquered Hun; To lead him in the coming days, From his black errer off his ways, And plant.in his benighted mind, : 5 here in America saws will sing ‘and hammerg ring.

A sense of kinship with mankind. * The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on’’, but with such kaleidoscopic rapidity that one can gearcely keep in touch with the} amazing events of each passing hour. ~The month of May has been one of astonishing historic interest and of general rejoicing throughout the civilized ‘world; ‘but these things the future does not seem to promise; periods of rest and relaxation, duties and responsibilities laid aside. No sooner is one great task accomplished that another one confronts us and each succeeding challenge is of vital and impelling importance. Early in this month of May 1945, the European war came to an end and ‘the black of horror was swept away Packing . from more than half of the world —the lights came on again; but even as we rejoiced, the question came, “what is to be done with the conquered Hun?’’ We and our allies have subdued his physical and material forces, but what of that dark, cruel spirit of evil which still plots and plans and is, no doubt even now laying the foundation for another world war. To reform, educate and reclaim an entire nation—that is indeed a stupendous task and it must be undertaken in a spirit of stark realism, founded upon a correct evaluation of the people with whom we deal. There can be no sickly sentimentality, no coddling of those whose atrocities have shock and terrified the world, This is an occasion when justice must be stern and unrelenting. How an outlaw nation can be brought to recognize and practice the humanities it has so long abjured, how it can be made fit to take an honored place in the family of nations, that is the question; but it will not be accomplished by condoning the crimes of the past few years or temporizing with the criminals. Is there a hint of procedure in these old lines. “Tender handed stroke a nettle and it stings you for. your pains, Grasp it like a man of mettle and it soft as silk remains.’’ As I write these words the security conference by the Golden Gate is making favorable progress, and this fact brings hope and confidence to the hearts of those engaged in the winning of peace and securing its establishment among the nations. Out in the future lies the great work of construction. In war torn lands there will be need of schools, of all sorts, bridges, homes, in fact there are entire cities to be rebuilt and emblem. ~ ATTORNEYS UNION HOTEL . . . —s"warp sueupon BEER.
