Such Is the dictum of the American Federation of Labor as expressed by President William Green at the convention In Poston. Labors combined program for an ultimate golutlon of unemployment and for Immediate relief wns favored by Mr. Green and was adopted after a debate In the course of which the federal government and the federal reserve hoard were severely criticized. This program, suggested by the executive council, provides for the following: Reduction In hours of work, stabilization of Industry, efficient management In production and sales policies, establishment of a notion-widsystem of unemployment exchanges, adequate records on employment, use of public works to meet cyclical unemployment, a study of all proposals for relief and education for life. To meet the immediate problem of relief the delegates Instructed the federations executive council to go to Washington at the conclusion of the convention and ask President Hoover to appoint a national committee which shall recommend measures that may he put Into effect at once such plans to be carried out by private and agencies, departments of ttie federal, state, and municipal governments, counties and school districts. The executive council wus also Instructed to call upon all state federations of labor and all affiliated central bodies to request their respective governors and mayors to with the national committee by state and city committees.

The best way to get the crop back on the land for the benefit of soil fertility Is by grazing and the dropping of manure, rather than by plowing the crop under. Whatever is left of the rye after grazing next spring should of course be turned under, tint the growth should he either kept down by the stock or should he plowed when It Is not more than ten or twelve Inches tall. A rank growth of rye plowed under ahead of corn leaves the land so loose and porous that the corn crop Is likely to suffer unduly from drought. closed May 12. MARVEL of Wilmington.
