Like modern fleeing before the deluge of a blight, botanists at North Carolina State college are rearing young chestnut trees here, tremulously hopeful that the Asiatic blight will not find them out this far from the chestnut's natural habitat. When the scourge has killed the last tree in the highlands and has no further victims to feed upon, the young trees thriving on the campus here will be available for the eons-lon- g task of replenishing the earth. They will not have long to wait. Two decades ago the chestnut was one of North Carolina's most lordly trees. Highly prized as lumber, it also was valuable for chemical extracts, and for pulp. But chiefly it was heloved because of its fruit the succulent chestnut. Twenty-fiv- e years ago, mountain wagons, drawn fcy oxen, brought full loads of the chestnuts down into the foothill towns, making trips which lasted a eek nr two.. Once Furnished Bread.

It's the same way with his recent experiment in housing, much publicized as surpassing the Federal Housing administration in economy. Actually there's no comparison because the two FHA demonstration homes in Uvalde have 50 per cent more floor space and are pretty elegant homes compared with the Garner cottages. The vice president sank an average of $1,500 in each of his houses, gave them from two than 95 per cent of North Carolina's chestnut trees are dead or dying. A few survive, but rather by chance than resistance; and they, too, are doomed. Every effort to halt the scour r;c failing, forestry men at the stale college several years ago transplanted healthy trees here, 200 miles from the chestnut belt. After four years, the young trees are healthy and thriving, and their guardiais speculate that when the blight has run its course, their thin little line of sprouts will be the progenitors of another mighty chestnut forest in North Carolina. Navy Represents Second Largest U. S. Expenditure With the excepWASHINGTON. tion of emergency relief agencies, the navy is Uncle Sam's greatest expense, representing an investment of approximately $4,000,000,000 by the end of the next fiscal year on June 30, 1940. This is the estimate included in the navy's annual expense account, a model summation of income and outgo whose &6 pages itemize every piece of equipment from live stock valued at $33 to the aircraft carrier Lexington, listed as an item of $44,202,620. Other listings include expenditures for agricultural implements, cigarettes, pills, hay for live stock and airplanes. A summation of annual naval appropriations since the nation was founded shows a marked increase from the $768,888 spent in 1794. During the entire period since then the navy has cost American taxpayers $16,634,002,603, of which $13,032,828,-84- bath and natural gas heat.

In other words, there are fewer doodads ard thingumabobs, which is a good indication of the Garner He's philosophy. enough to question some of the more unusual features of the New Deal. And he's the classic type politician who holds party solidarity above immediate expediency, which explains why he doubts that the Democratic party will hold together unless it regains the confidence of business. Garner independence didn't assert itself until the winter of 1937 when the vice president demanded action to curb strikes. It gained strength the following spring when he refused to participate in the Supreme court enlargement fight. If John Garner is elected President, December 17, 1938, will go down in history as the day his boom started. It was then he returned to Washington and found conservative Democrats trying to decipher handwriting on the wall. Did the November election defeats mean a national trend to Republicanism? President Roosevelt thought not, maintaining local issues alone were involved. Jim Farley thought otherwise and it was time for all good Democrats to come to the aid of their party. Mr. Garner Talks Harmony. What happened during Jack Garconference with Mr. ner's Farley may never be known. Neither will the discussion with President RooseveJt be divulged, but when Cactus Jack emerged it was quite obvious the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 citizens had been talking party harmony. Subsequently the Garner club grew. Paths were beaten to its door by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, Secretary of Commerce Hopkins, Treasury Undersecretary Hanes and many a big and little congressman. Sometimes they came singly, at other times in groups, but always they came. It could mean only one thing: Cactus Jack had been chosen leader f the conservative Democrats. This leadership is a peculiar thing, almost a negative quantity because Mr. Garner doesn't make speeches against his boss, indeed has never committed himself in public. Some arch-NeDealers think he's plotting craftily to overthrow Mr. Roosevelt, but the men who know him understand better. It's the magnetic charm of a man who's been mellowed and wizened by 37 years in congress, and who today is more than just a vice president but a patron saint as well. His hobby is helping congressional youngsters get a start in the world. If you've any doubts about this, count noses among Texas' numerically insignificant representation and you'll find a powerhouse. In the house, Marvin Jones heads the agriculture committee, Milton West the elections committee, Hatton Sumners the judiciary committee, Fritz. Lanham public buildings and grounds, Joseph Mansfield rivers and harbors and Martin Dies, activities. Sam Rayhurn is majority floor leader. In the senate Morris Sheppard heads both military affairs and camcommittees expenditures paign while Tom Connally heads public buildings and grounds. Both make their voices heard often in other committees. The 1940 campaign is still far from cut and dried, but there is no better Hoovwatchword than er's admonition in 1929 to a fledgling Washington reporter: "There's one man on Capitol Hill you will always want to watch. He is that man from Texas, John N. Garner one of the shrewdest and ablest men in American political life." sit-do- 2; no choice, 1.

Toil.iy they're booming this id southwest plainsman for President. It's a boom which light thinkers call a slap at Rooseveltian ipendii.g, but to congress it means much more. Any member of the Capitol Hill Garner club will explain it this way: Congress Feels Its Oats. Since 1933 indeed, for a half centurycongress has slowly surrendered its power to the executive branch of government. Today's trend demands a restoration of that power and Jack Garner is the logical veteran to lead the battle. That's about all there's to it, except that the boom has reached alarming proportions in the four months since congress convened. Down Texas way, where they've had a native son boom of their own for many years, no less than Son Elliott Roosevelt recently told his Texas State Radio network listeners: "John Garner is in the driver's seat rifiht now, well in the lead as a Lkely Democratic candidate for the presidency in the 1940 election." The American Institute of Public Opinion shows Garner stock rising from 20 per cent (of all Democrats) last December to 42 per cent in And Emil Hurja, Jim early April. Farley's political statistician, believes that early leaders in popular polls invariably stay in the lead. How Texas Judges a Man. What kind of a President would Jack Garner make? Folks down Uvalde way test a man's mettle by the wuy he behaves on a camping trip, his poker playing and his ability to judge whisky. They give the president of the senate 100 per cent on all three points, and it therefore stands to reason he must have a lot of horse sense. Economy, for instance. Like most westerners who go to Washington, he's a lawyer and a banker. Jack brc BACKING --m bas been known to official jtse'.f lific P7B H allowed Gardeners formerly vegetables to grow as large as possible. According to Harold N. Coulter, vegetable expert of the Ferry Seed Breeding Station, this practice gave a higher yield in pounds, but very often lowered the quality of the vegetables. Some vegetables, of course, like tomato, must be mature to be palatable; but carrots, cucumbers, beets, summer squash, turnips, radishes and others are more tender and tasty when not much more than half grown. To keep a regular supply of vegetables of proper eating size, gardeners are finding also that it is advisable to plant oftener than once or twice a year.
