Michigan State college agrclul-tural engineers warn that corn moisture should be checked this spring. If it's more than 20 percent during the winter months, and the corn is stored in a poorly ventilated crib eight feet wide or wider, spoil-age is very likely to occur In the spring when weather gets warmer.

Keep your temper. No one else wants It.

The more arguments you win, the more friends you lose.

Folks on the east side of Kent County who didn't attend the f irs t annual farm and home day at Low-ell laat week Tuesday missed an en-joyable event.

Sponsored by the Lowell Board of Trade the day's program went off without a hitch, only more folks should have been there to have partaken of the good dinner tha t Lowell businessmen prepared and served.

Russell Horwood's pictures of Japan, Dr. Hardin 's discussion of European conditions, Dr. Perr ln 's talk and pictures of new materials used In agriculture were well re-ceived. Music by Lowell school band, the picture of "A Miracle In Paradise Valley," plus the band f rom Detroit all went to make a well-rounded program. The com-mittees on the Lowell| Board of Trade are to be commended on the f ine way all details wore handled.

.Extension Service would like to see this a f fa i r made an annual event. Am sure another year would see many more f a rm folks present.

Three Kent County 4-H Club members had entries In the annual S ta te 4-H Club Market Show last week Friday and Saturday. Charles Werner of Walker, Russell Falea of Sparta , and Joan Carlson of Bowne townahlp.

These animals will be Judged and •old. Reports later about Kent 's re-sults.

The State Seed Testing: Labora-tory at Lansing are getting many samples of seed right now, one sign t h a t spring Is not far away. Charles Stahl, state s ied analyst, reports tha t 2,428 samples were received in February; a third more than a year ago. Testing seed Is not a hur ry Job and to do a good Job the person doing It cannot hurry. Some seeds such as radish can be done In six

days, but other varieties t ake as high as thirty days.

If you don't get a quick answer to the sample you sent remember there may be others ahead of you or the ' seed might be a slow ger-minator.

C d i t o r i a l FEDERAL ENCEOACHMENT

•Angered over the tax-free advan-tage of numerous Federal Agencies anu corporations," wrote John P. Callahan In the New York Times of Janua ry 18, "the American Munic-ipal Association last week girded itself for a drive on Congress to enac^L legislation tha t would add more than a billion dollars to municipal treasuries all over the country."

Federal business activities, which have little or no connection with the basic constitutional duties of the government, h a v e reached plague dimensions in the last f i f-teen years m so. More and more land has been acquired by the Fed-eral agencies, which now own al-most half of the eleven western states. The military forces own various industrial properties which have been leased to private bus-iness but which, because of their ownership, escape all or part of the taxes they would otherwise pay. And, most Important of all, the Fed-eral government has goqe Into the electric power business on an enor-mous scale, depriving the munic-ipalities and all other units of gov-ernment of the heavy tax revenues the private utilities would pay.

This would be a grave mat te r at any time. I t Is especially grave now that the burden of taxation and the task of servicing and retir ing the national debt are among our tough-est national problems. The Munic-ipal Association, whose membership represents close to 10,000 commun-ities, will perform a service to all the country If it can make publicly operated business which competes with private business, comply with the tax laws that apply to all pri-vate citizens. It is high time to weed out the tax dodgers.

Governor Kim Slgler haa a tough nut to crack; Htow can he success-fully . dissociate his personal am-bitions from his new p rogram of constitutional reform?

It 's not an easy task. The proh-blem boils down to something like this.

Slgler Is asking the legislature to submit amendments to Michigan voters next November. T h e s e amendments. If approved, would lengthen terms of the governor and other state officials f r o m two to four years, would permit the gov-ernor to appoint the secretary of state and attorney general, would permit legislators to set salaries of their successors and elective state officials, and would permit the

[calling of a consti tutional conven-tion by a majority of the votes cast for such a convention call, not a major i ty of all voters who go to the

'polls.

Governor Slgler Is convinced that these steps would make for better and more responsible government In Michigan. But a number of legis-lators are yet to be convinced. They link the reforms to personal am-bitions of Slgler, a desire to get greater power for himself, not for his successor.

If Slgler is re-elected In Novem-ber for a second term, the four-year te rm amendment would de-prive him of one month of thia sec-ond term. He would go out of office on December 1, 1950, Instead of on

j Jan . 1, 1951, As Slgler sees It, the Dec. 1 in-

augurat ion date Is evidence Itself tha t he would deprive himself of one month and that this would benefit his successor, not himself. While he has not said he would re-tire at the end of a aecond term, he had plainly inferred it.

Fur thermore, the governor has emphasized repeatedly tha t he does not look upon the governshlp as a stepping stone to the United States Senate or other political pjibllc service. He would like to do some-thing about bet ter government, and he Is not satisfied to hold the office of governor unless he strives to accomplish this.

In the governor's mind, the re-form program should not be auoc l -ated with Slgler's political future .

But it Is Inevitable tha t some leg-islators will want to be convinced. Frankly, they're not altogether sold.

For one thing, the governor's amendments would s t rengthen the power of the governor and other elective officials, but they would do little for legislators. The right of the legislators to Increase salaries would not apply to themselves but to their successors. Legislative In, cumbents would be exempt. State officials would not. While terms of elective officials would be stretched to four years, terms of senators and representatives would remain a t two years.

Speaker Victor A. Knox of the !Soo said, "there is a feeling among .many members that If we are to grant a four-year t e rm to the gov-ernor, the same reasoning would apply to the legislature Itself."

And there you have It—human na ture Inevitably In action. Unking a man's program of change to his

personal ambitions. Governor. Slgler poinU out tha t

since the 1908 constitution waa adopted, only five governors have served more than one term. "Most of the time we havo had a shif t of administrations every two years. In the light of these facts, can any-one wonder why a well planned pro-gram of state government has not been carried out?

"Does anyone seriously contend that a worth-while program can be accomplished In two years? . . . Governors a re not In office long enough to lay out a program and see It through."

| As for greater power for the gov-ernor, here Is a quotation f rom Slg-ler's message to the legislature: "It is the governor to whom the people look for administrat ive accompllsh-

iment, and whom they blame for lack of It. The tools of administra-tion, however, have not been pro-vided to enable the chief executive of our state to fulfill this respon-sibility. . . . There should be author-ity commensurate with that re-sponsibility."

Governor Slgler asks the legis-lature to create a s ta te depar tment of administration which would take over function of numerous s t ^ e boards and agencies. The govei ror would appoint Its director. This de-partment would handle budgeting, purchasing and accounting. This department! would give the gov-ernor, says Slgler, "the means to get a Job done," a "right a rm" with powef to get results. I t Is a good Illustatlon of what Kim Slgler wants.
