Assuming the permanent chair- manship, Rep. Bertrand Snell of New York called for a “crusade to restore to the American people their consti- tution and their liberties.” Thoughts of many delegates evi- dently were elsewhere. Impending state caucuses which could clinch the nomination for Gov. Alf M. Lan- don on the first ballot had the first call on the attention of many. The platform committee had an all- American job, but the great majority of the delegates were ftee—once the third session adjourned—until the time to gather Wednesday night to hear Former President Herbert Hoo- ver. Friends said he had a “devas- tating” speech against the Roosevelt ministration. Friends of both Landon and Sena- tor Borah of Idaho were seeking a formula to satisfy both on the mone- tary, monopoly and foreign affairs planks of the platform. Unless he is satisfied, Borah was assured of & chance to argue for his positions from the rostrum. Steiwer was given an ovation as - relinquished the temporary manship to Snell. Talk about the far westerner for second place on the ticket persisted, but some easterners did not want their section left out.

Beets Grow Better Here It is particularly desirable to grow sugar beets as far north as possible, he said, since less trouble theti’is en- countered with insects which feed on other foliage for a time, then swoop down and destroy the beet crop. After about 25 years it becomes necessary to abandon sugar beets for @ time, he said, and for that reason only two of the sugar beet factories once active in California are now oper- ating. Irrigation also would support vege- table crops, he said, and a cannery is a possibility. .
