About 200 men and women are now employed at the General Electric plant, 25 going to work Monday. For several weeks past, employment has been steadily increased and indications are that the trend towards better things will continue. In addition to giving more employment the company also announced a five per cent wage increase, effective July 3. Everybody is feeling better and there is no disputing the fact that we have turned the corner towards a busy and steady growth. Former Governor Alfred Smith will be given an honorary degree by Harvard university. Although not a college graduate and not professing to be a man of letters, Governor Smith has been honored by other institutions of higher learning, Harvard being the latest to confer upon him a degree in recognition of the attainments wrought during a busy and brilliant career. The former executive's life depicts vividly the opportunities in this country if one is of the desire to j wedge his way and play the game I square. The Harvard award is I truly American and is conferred on j a great citizen. Membership in the Decatur I Chamber of Commerce will cost ■ only $2.50 this year. It's a bargain [and by joining you are supporting : an organization around which civic problems are discussed and functions of interest to the community are carried through. Not to be I bothered, as Some say, by a solicit- . ing committee, I. Bernstein, retir;cd merchant here, has volunteered to ca l on every individual and ask him to join the organization. It's important that every city has a Chamber of Commerce, for it shows a united and cooperative spirit on the part of those who engage in business here or expect their | means of income from the com- | inunity. Decatur should have about I 200 members. President Roosevelt has a two-thousand-acre farm and ranch near | Warm Springs, Georgia. It has I lieen a paying proposition and bei sides engaging in regular agricultural pursuits he has been able to ■ do more or less experimenting with I 't. When the peach and cotton I crops failed to bring in sufficient i income he stocked the farm with i beef cattle and also planted a vineyard. The president believes in diversified farming and in addition to raising cattle and crops, has planted several hundred acres in trees, carrying out part of his reforestation program. The farm is , not a show place and the president does not intend to make it one. His orders are, "this farm must make its own way and we must be good neighbors to everyone.” The future success of the Roosevelt farm program will be Watched with j deep interest.

Cary Grant

grabbed up by the producers. Charles R. Rogers, a smart showman, is going to do one with Cary Grant as the first of his new 10-pic-ture program at Paramount. He’ll film it from Gael MacLean’s novel, ’‘Swift Arrow,” which tells the story of a famous Indian athlete who graduates from

West Point but who is forced, by circumstance, to return and become chief of his tribe. Going other producers one better, Rogers plans to photograph the entire picture in color. This means the audience will see the West Point graduation exercises, the painted buttes of Montana in their natural hues. As the film gets under way upon the return of Harry Joe Brown from Europe (he’s due about the 19th), it looks as if there’ll be a race to see whether “Swift Arrow” or M-G-M’s “Laughing Boy” bunches the new cycle. Also, the fans will be able to draw interesting comparisons between the performances of Cary Grant and Ramon Novarro. Warner Brothers are giving a long term contract to the son of one of the most famous matinee idols of a few years ago. He is Phillip Faversham, son of William Faversham, whose record in ths theater needs no recital here. It was back in college that Phillip first took up acting. Later he became a professional, and several months ago was engaged to play the juvenile lead in the Los Angeles production of “Another Language.” From this part, he went to Warners to do a bit in “Captured,” a picture now awaiting release. When Warner sales executives previewed this film recently, they singled out young Faversham for high praise. Then came the contract,

Out at Grover Jones’ house, the melody ace was playing a mean piano for the boys of the Westside Asthma and Riding Club. A vaudevillain, who also taps the ivories, kept leaning over his shoulder. “Think you could play that?” someone asked the vaudevillain. “Could he play it!” flipped Akst. “It’s so tough he can’t even turn the pages for me.” HOLLYWOOD FARADE.

The results, announced by H. L. Blood of the Division of Horticultural Crops and Diseases, at a meeting. June 12, of the Utah Academy of Science at Salt Lake City, also provide an example, say officials of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, of how technical progress in farming sometimes creates a new problem that requires solution. .Bacterial canker is a serious disease affecting tomatoes which has been much more common and disI tractive since 1927 than it had been before. As a nseult, scientists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and at several State experiment stations have been seeking m thods of control. They learned . that the seeds carried the disease and wene experimenting with various chemicals as disinfectants. H. L. Blood of the Department was working along this line in Wisconsin. In n. cent years canneries and seedsmen have been using high speed power machinery for extracting tomato seed from the ripe tomatoes. In general, the older and slower method of placin tomatoes in vats to ferment until the seeds loosened from the pulp had been discarded. But Mr. Blood had a lot of tomatoes which he knew were infected with the canker disease. He wanted Lais infected seed for I tests of disinfectants. He did not I have a power extractor, so he went | about it in the discarded way by I fermenting the fruit pulp. From

this lot he planted untreated seed and seed treated with various disin fectants, And to his surprise he found that the untreated seed which came from severely infected fruit was practically free from the disease —-as good or better than disinfected seed from the same lot. He repeated the experiment in Utah, where the disease has been destructive. Again the fermented seed from infected fruit proved from disease, and for this reason superior to mechanically extracted seed. Those experiments are being continued to determine how long and at what temperature the seed tomato pulp should l>e fermented to get the most desirable control of the disease, but it seems evident from the experiments so far that power extraction of tomato seed that the seedsmen will have to abandon power extraction ofdomato seed and go back to using the vats in which the tomatoes were fermented, and in which they devel oped a solution which seems to have disinfected the seed more reliably than any commercial substitute. o From One Cooler to Another Marshfield, Ore., —(.UP)—"Out of one cooler into another," said police when the found Sam Fisher hiding in the refrigerator of a local grocery store.
