NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Congress Finishes Up Much Legislation and Ends the Special Session. By EDWARD W. PICKARD DEI 'EKMINED to bring the special Jon to a close before the Fourth of July, congress was very busy the first part of the week, clearing up'the pending legislation. Taking up the new World war veterans bill passed by the house, the senate again showed Its utter disregard for President Hoover's views mid its keen desire for votes next fail. It loaded the measure, down with amendments, chief of which was one increasing the' pension rates to the Spanish "ar level'. Another would permit veterans who cont ra, h d venereal diseases during their war service to obtain disability ullouumes. As passed then.- by the senate, the hIH it wan estimated, v <>u!d ei.- t in the neighborhood of * (.Mi1,.1 in.the fiscal year 1931. Slid.OQO.iMIQ in the fiscal year 1932. $143,(MXt.IMX* in the fiscal yca£ 1933. sl.m,QfKHKM* in the fiscal year 1934 and Slt>7.tS»*tstfi In the fiscal year 1935. a total of SOdl.tXXt.tMMi during the five years. S ’ The bill was sent to conference for elimination of the features that would be most objectionable to the President. Among the bills passed by the house wks the Wickersham commission’s border patrol bill designed to help in curbing ti e smuggling of ilduor from Canada and Mexico. It edahtlshes an enlarged and unified border patrol service in the treasury under the assistant secretary in chunk *‘f the coas't guard, increases the number of entry stations, and makes it a misdemeanor. subject to sh»i fifth, to cro-s the border except st an miry station, with cehaln exceptions. ,J The senate passed the house bill which authorized the President to consolidate am) co-ordinate governmental activities affecting the war veterans. SECRETARY of the Treasury Mellon announced that the fiscal year I'o3o closed with a surplus In the treasury of SIsi.OOO.OOO. This amount represented the difference between receipts and expenditures. The public debt was reduced during the year by g74O.tMMt.tXMi. There was a nat balance In the general fund at the close of the year of $318,000,000. While the surplus was substantially the same ns in the fiscal year 1929. Secretary Mellon pointed out that it Included the abnormal sum of $76,000,000 paid by foreign governments in June in cash instead, of In securities of the American government and also Included abnormal custom* receipts, due to anticipation of tariff legislation. SENATORS JOHNSON of California. Moses of New Hampshire and Robinson of Indiana with the senate their minority report from the foreign relations committee, setting forth their reasons for opposing ratification of the London naval treaty. These rea sons are already well, known to the public and need not be repeated. Dispatcher from Washington said that the national defense committee of the American Ix»gion had made a report two weeks previously recommending that the I-eg ion declare for rejection of the treaty, and that nothing more had been heard of the matter. One rumor was that administration Influences had succeeded in bringing about the pigeonholing of the report. Over In London two of England's most famous naval commanders. Earl Beatty and Karl Jellicoe, made hot attacks on the treaty, asserting that by signing it their government was throwing away "the sea power by which the British empire came into being and developed into what it is today." PRESIDENT HOOVER has named as head of the new federal power commission Lieut. Gen, Edgar Jadwin, who In hte service au chief of armyengineers gained a Thorough knowledge of the waterways of the country. His nomination, with those of the other four commission meml»ers, will be sent to the senate In special session this summer for confirmation. When two members have taken office the new commission will supplant the old one. which had as its members the secretaries of war. interior and agriculture, and which, since 1920. has supervised the expenditure of about $350.000.000 for power development. In the new commission applications for power plants are to be placed in the hands of five SIO,OOO a year men who. the act stipulates, may have no other occupation. Nvr may they have been connected in aAy way with, or hold any stock in, power companies.

At present 70 applications are pending with the copi mis-ion. IN A radio address tn the governors’, conference which met in Salt Lake City. President Hoover annotinced that federal, state and local governments had spent or contracted to spend a total of $1.700.<MM1,000 for public works during the first six months of the present calendar year. This figure, he said, exewsled by over S2<HOOO.OtM) that "f the booin year of 1929. He advised the governors that there is still need for ■continued serous effort" in every state and .community to bring an early business recovery, aud to reduce unemployment. Several of the western governors delivered addresses scoring th<> federal goveniment for Its invasion of states’ rights, especially with regard to the public' domain, unappropriated lands, and mineral and oil rights, PROHIBITION enforcement was transferred July 1 from the Treasury department to the Department of Justice, and Attorney General Mitchell became the commander In chief of the fc-deral dry army with C'oL Amos W. W. Woodcock as his chief of staff. It was understood In W ashington that the government's limited staff and appropriation will be devoted hereafter to detecting larger commercial boot- , while the effort to obtain greater cooperation by the states Will be expanded. Many changes have been umde already in the force of prohibition administrators,, the most, important being in the metropolitan areas of New York n,nd Chlcpgo. In the former Maj. Maurice Campbell resigned when ordered to Boston to take charge of alcohol jH-rmits and gave out a statement attacking “I’nited States attorneys with political aspirations." >nd Treasury department officials "ho "have not been sincere in efforts to enforce this law." He declared his experience had led him to the following conclusion: Trohibltion Is not the logical solution for temperance' under pur form of government, and I now publicly advocate the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment before the nation Is consumed iu the fires of its queucea.Col. John H. J. Herbert became the enforcement boss of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, displacing E. C. Yellowley. who remains In control of alcohol permits In that area. /C ONGRESSMAN E. E. DENISON of Um Illinois, a dry Republican who was indicted on a Charge of illegally possessing liquor because of a leaking suitcase, escaped being tried when Justice Gordon of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia sustained a demurrer and held that the indictment failed to particularize the charge against Denison sufficiently to enable the latter to frame a defense and plead nn acquittal as a bar to a subsequent Indictment. XITITII the stroke of midnight on W June 30 the last of the French troops of occupation departed from the Rhineland and Germany was freed from the incubus that had rested on It. for almost twelve years. The German people celebrated the event with the ringing of bells, with great parades of singing men and women, with the playing of hands and with fireworks. Especially Impressive was the Jubilee In the town of Speyer in the Palatinate. Torches and flares lighted the bridge across the Rhine over which marcbed the town’s police force of GCO men as thousands along the water’s edge ami In boats sang “Deutschland Ueber Alles," The final phase of the military evacuation began in Wiesbaden at 9:30 o'clock tn the morning. The inter allied Rhineland commteaion. which has headquartered at Wiesbaden since Se»>tember when the headquarters were moved from Coblenz, closed shop. A battalion of French troops lined up on Kaiserstrasse in front of .the commission's building where three fiags floated —Belgian, British and French. The regimental band broke into the "Brabanconne” and the Belgian flag iriowly descended. Then the military band played "God Save the King" and the Union Jack slid down the halyards. It was a tense moment us the strains of the “Marseillaise" burst into the air and the tricolor floated down. High Commissioner Paul Tirard and the other officials crossed the Rhine bridge in motors and a thousand French soldiers in full war panoply inarched to the railroad station and entrained for home. A proclamation by President Von Hindenburg said: "After years of bitter distress, after the acceptance of oppressive burdens, we have regained for the Rhineland a freedom that we shall preserve for the welfare and future of our fatherland. “Therefore, in this solemn hour, let

ns be united In the pledge, Deutschland ueber alles." The reiehstag Cheered this statement by President Loebe: “We arc ready for friendship with nil our former enemies, we are ready to enter the great peaceful family of Euro|>oan nations. Bur only as a member enjoying etjual rights and privileges." < I.MOST before the ouSMe world A knew anything about it. there was a successful revolution flown in Bolivia, caused by the alleged efforts Os Hernando Siles; resigned president; to regain the office of chief executive anil hold it in perpetuity. Troops led bv Gen. Carlos Blanco Galindo occupied La I’az. the capital, after a hot fight, ami Siles and' his friends fled or took refuge in foreign legations. The military junta took charge of the government and announced financial ami other plans for the immediate restoration of the republic to its normal condition on a constitutional basis. It Was understood that free elections would be held and a new president designated in such a manner that he cannot perpetuate himself in office. The populace in La Paz was delighted vyith the Success of the revolutionary movement, and great crowds surrounded the Brazilian legation which sheltered Siles. demanding that he be given up for trial by the courts. Gen. Hans Kundt. German chief of staff of the Bolivian army, who was accused not only of aiding Doctor Siles. but of Prussianizing the Bolivian forces, tied to the German legation. General Galindo took steps to protect all the former officials from violence. XJORTH AMERICA now has Its first saints in the Roman Catholic catalogue Pope Pius XI in a picturesque and elaborate ceremony in St. Peter's canonized eight Jesuit missionaries xvlio about three hundred years ago suffered martyrdom at the hands of the Iroquois and Huron Indians in the Great Lakes region. They are Isaac Jaques, Jean de P>rebeuf. Antoine Daniel, Gabriel Laleinant, Noel Chabanal, Rene Goupil, Charles Garnier and Jean de la Lande, all being of French birth. t The pope also canonized Theophile de Corte. a Corsican monk, and Cardinal Bellarmio of Naples. Next day the Holy Father dosed his jubilee year by naming these five new cardinals: Archbishop Da Silveira Clntra of Rio de Janerio; Bishop Llenart of Lille. France; Mgrs. Mar-clietti-Selvagglana. secretary of the Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith and former papal auditor at Washington., Mgr. Serafinl. secretary •of the Congregation of the Council, and Mgr. RaffaeloCarlo Rossi, assessor of the Consistorial congregation. The college of cardinals now consists of 31 Italians and 32 of other nations. GREAT BRITAIN Is taking relentless measures to end the "passive" rebellion in India. The latest of these was the arrest of Pandit Motilal Nehru, a Hindoo and acting president of the All-India national congress, and Sayed Mahmud, a Moslem, secretary of the congress. They were tried immediately and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment. These arrests created a great sensation throughout India and a hartal or cessation of all work was proclaimed In protest In, Bombay a “boycott week" was started and housewives were urged to refrain from buying British goods. The spirit of the Nationalists seems far from broken. In many cities the school studenis. both boys and girls, have joined the movement, quitting their schools, holding parades and assisting in the picketing of British shoj-s. 6 AMERICANS of 22 countries gathered in Paris with Frenchmen to cehhrate the France-America commit-’ tee's "week of American nations," heard Raymond Poincare, former president and former premier, take the United States to task for its new tariff law. M. Poincare presided at a dinner to national delegates. “There is a crisis in the friendship of the two nations which if not remedied promptly will grow worse." he said. “Countries that try to antagonize other peoples will find that they are attached to those other peoples by bonds they cannot break." TWO feats In aviation marked the week. First Roger Q. Williams with two companions made a nonstop flight from New York to Bermuda and back in the Columbia, the transatlantic Bellanca monoplane, in 17 hours and 8 minutes. Second, John and Kenneth Hunter of Sparta, BL, smashed to smithereens the refueling endurance record over Sky Harbor airport north of Chicago. They refused to come down until the motor of their plane was worn out Western Newspaper Union.)

PlactJ SOY BEANS MAKE GOOD DAIRY FEED They Are Very High in Digestible Nutrients. Soy beans make a very excellent high protein'concentrate for dairy cattle. Since they carry 16 per cent of fat; they are also very high in total digestible nutrients. , Investigations at the Purdue station show that sby beans are fully as valuable In the dairy ration, as linseed oil meal. Some experiments have shown that soy beans may not be palatable when fed over a> long period of time. How? ever, investigators at the lowa station, fed as high as four pounds per day to dairy cattle over a period of 100 days, and the cattle still relished them. These investigators also found that soy beans in these amounts were not unduly laxative; Soy beans should be ground or cracked before feeding. It is best to grind only sufficient beans for immediate use. If ground beans are left stored for any considerable time, they will become rancid. •' If difficulty Is experienced In grinding beans, this may he obviated by mixing them first with corn or oats The anx»unt-T»f cracked soy beans or soy-bean meal to use with corn and oats will depend upon the kind of dry roughage available. If you have a good quality of alfalfa hay, a ration composed of 300 pounds of corn and cob meal ; 200 pounds of ground oats ; 100 pounds of wheat bran and, 150 pounds of soy beans will make it a very desirable ration. It' clover hay is available, 200 pounds of soy beans may be used to advantage in this mixture. If such poor quality such as timothy ’uiy or com- stover is used exclusively, it will probably be well to use 300 pounds of soy beans and 100 pounds of cotton seed meal along with the amounts of corn, oats and bran suggested above. Soy beans are a valuable fertilizer when plowed under. However, if a crop of hay Is taken off first, very little if any nitrogen is added to the soil by this crop. Stop Feeding Grain to Cows While on Pasture Most dairymen, especially farmers who keep a few cows for the steady cash income which they provide, stop" feeding grain when the pasture season open&SSometimes that is the right thing to do, but more often it is not. Those who have an abundance of pasture and who maintain cows of medium product probably get just as economical returns without grain as with grain., but such conditions do not ordinarily prevail. As a rule the average pasture is cropped rather closely so that the cows do not get a full feed without grain. Then-again high producing cows, that is cows in the 300-pound butter fat class, cannot obtain enough feed from grass, no matter how good the pasture may be, to produce the maximum atnount of milk and butter fat of which they are capable. Holstein Testing Rules Are Being Standardized A new rule to standardize the question of feeding Holstein cows on semiofficial long-time test has been adopted by the HoTstein-Frlesian Association of America. It is that: "During any official test period in connection with a semi-official longtime test, the milking shall be done by the regular milker and there shall be no change in the content of the ration or In the quantity fed except such as may be required by the health of the cow. In case any change is necessary. it must be called to the attention of the supervisor and he shall explain it fully in his report of the test." Dairy Hints Make sure that growing heifers have plenty of fresh, pure water at all times. • • • Milk which sours rapidly has a better flavor than that which sours slowly at a low temperature. • • • Vitamins, so important to life, health and growth of farm animals, are contained in abundance in alfalfa hay. • • • Every dairyman should know his best cows and keep only the calves from these for his future herd. Here is where the dairy improvement association becomes a helpful friend. • • • Dairy products are increasing rapidly throughout the country in our diet. Rut we are demanding good products. • • • The cream separator on the ordinary dairy farm is sometimes a sneak thief unless it is given attention continuously throughout the year. • • • Regularity of milking and feeding methods, kindness, patience and close observation of one’s cows are factors that influence the persistency of the average dairy herd. • •• It is dangerous to pasture cows on alfalfa, but there Is little danger from bloat on sweet clover pasture. It is best to avoid turning in cows while the sweet clover is wet. Give a feed of dry hay before turning on the pasture. • • • In most cases the outward appearance of a cow does not reveal degree of Infection of bovine tuberculosis which may be present. Testing is the only sure method of determining whether tuberculosis is present in the herd.

By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answerquestions and give advice FREE OF COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of’his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is. without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address ali inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 407 South Dearborn Street. Chicago. 111. and only inclose two-cen< stamp for reply. Modern farm buildings are more than Jusf structures to house livestock and crops. They are designed so that the necessary work of caring for the animals and of storing the crops can be performed easily; they are equipped so that health and productivity of the animals are kept at the highest point. The investment in modern buildings is looked upon as one which will, over a period of years, repay the cost of the structures and return profit to the owner. In connection with this is shown the illustration of a modern daylight dairy barn, which has stood the test of experience and has proven that it is profitable to make an investment in it. Os course, the size of the building to be erected depends upon the need of the owner, nut in architectural design this design is correct and may be built either larger or smaller as the.size of the farin and size of the herd of live stock will permit. The building illustrated Is modern in every respect and is constructed In such away as to cut down the labor of the farm. The difference between profit and loss in handling a dairy herd depends upon two things. First, cows which have an annual milk production of sufficient quantity to return the profit over the. cost of feet! are required. Second, to reduce the labor cost of caring for the herd to a point where the milk checks will more than compensate for the feed and labor.

Foundation Is Weak Spot in Older Houses A house is Just as good as its foundation. Before.yon buy a house you should start with the basement and examine the house and walls for water stains and horizontal water lines caused by water seepage or water standing iu the basemenL The foundation and retaining walls should be inspected for proper thickness. A minimum width for main foundation of one or two stories should not be less than 10 inches thick, if of concrete; 13 Inches if of brick and 18 inches if of stone. Concrete walls that have a sandy or clay appearance are deficient In cement or else are constructed of bank sand and gravel containing a large percentage of hmm. Such walls should be examined for sand and loam pockets, which are detrimental to .he wall’s structural strength and permit the entrance of water. The wall plate or mud sill which lies directly upon, the foundation and upon which the floor rests should be

Cows to be the most- ffroductive must be housed so tliat the ffy’d they consume will go into milk rather than into heat to maintain their bodies. Milk brings a better price in cold weather than in warm and as a consequence where something like summer temperatures are maintained in the dairy stable, the cows are the most productive. In order to do this, stables are designed so that temperatures in winter may be maintained without much variation and at the same time the animals can be supplied with a constant flow of fresh air. Line breeding for production makes the modern pure-bred dairy ani mat more susceptible to disease and •as a consequence buildings are designed to insure their health. A system of ventilation which will carrj out the moisture the animals are con stantly throwing off and replace the dead, damp air with fresh, dry air, is necessary. It will be noted by the floor plan shown in connection with this dairy barn, that a number of pieces of equipment which will cut down the labor in the dairy stable are indicated. In this barn the stulls face a center feeding alley. Overhead is a carrier track which runs to the feed mixing room adjoining the silo. This is an easy method of transporting the feed to the mangers at the stall heads. This same track extends over the litter alley for the removal of litter. Stan chirms are of the modern, sanitary, steel type with drinking cups between each two stalls so that a constant supply of fresh water Is available to the animals. The floor of the stable is of concrete with the mangers ana gutters built into the floor. Also shown in connection with the floor plan is a cross section of the building which shows some of the details of construe tlon and specifies the dimensions of the materials used.

minutely examined for dry rot. This Is generally the first member of a dwelling's superstructure that goes bad Rot-Proof Woods Best Decay attacks indoor as well as exterior wood trim, so for that reason it is well to use those woods that are decay-resistant. White pine, sugar .pine, chestnut, express, redwood an J spruce are the soft woods that fall in this class. Other woods, widely used for trim because they take paint and enamel especially well, are basswood or whitewood, red or sweet gum. Textured Finish Textured interior finishes, according to noted interior decorators, are not merely a fad and as such doomed to early obscurity, but are a distinct contribution to the art of lovely interiors. Furthermore, they have a historical background in that textured Interiors were a part of almost all great architectural periods—the Greek. Italian, Spanish, French, English, etc.

FEED LESS GRAIN DURING SUMMER Keep Fowls Confined and Increase Their Mash. Summer feeding schedule for laying hens calls for reduction in the amount of grain and increase in the amount of'mash, poultry specialists at the Ohio State university have notified Ohio poultrymen who are keeping records in co-operation with the county and state extension service. ‘•Gradually reduce the aniount of grain feed and increase the mash consumption in order to maintain summer -production,” says one of the specialists, P. B. Zumbro. "It is wise to feed all the grain in the evening in order to make the birds hungrier for mash during the day. "Another good plan is to keep the birds confined to the house until afternoon. if the house can be properly ventilated. This will stimulate mash consumption and at the same time allow ample opportunity for green feed. “Another way is to put mash hoppers where you find the birds during the day —under a tree, lii a shed, or wherever they congregate. Mix enough milk with the ordinary mash to make it crumbly wet, and feed such quantities as the hens will consume in a half-hour.” Clean Feed Essential to Complete Success Clean feed is essential to the complete success of a sanitation program. It is not sufficient to mix or buy clean feed. The entire ration must lie kept clean until the chickens have an opportunity to eat it. No feed of any kind should be scattered in the litter or on the floor for the growing chicks. Nor should it be scattered on theground unless care is taken to throw it in a fresh place each day in order, as some one has said,.; to give the chickens a clean tablecloth. Grain. a< well as nlash. can be hopper fed with very good results, especially after the chickens are partly grown. After the chickens are ranging out-of-doors move the feed hoppers to a new location once a week; If possible, they Should be in the shade at least a part of the day in order to encourage the chickens to eat freely. The water fountains shouht be, so arranged that there will be no permanent puddles of water or mud as these make the finest kind of .place in which worm eggs can rest while waiting for some chicken to pick them up. Avian Tuberculosis Is Widespread in the West Avian or bird tuberculosis is widespread. The first case was discovered in a prairie chicken by Dr. 1,. Van Es when be was pathologist for the North Dakota agricultural* college. The latest surveys of the United States bureau of animal industry indicate that 6 per cent of the flocks on physical examination in 28 states showed tuberculosis. The disease affects a greater percentage of the flocks in some of the middlewestern states. Avian tuberculosis must l>e eradicated before tuberculosis is entirely eliminated from hogs. Campaigns are under way in the iniddlewestern states, where avian tuberculosis is the greatest, to stamp out the disease. Poultry Facts - Goose eggs require 30 to 35 days in which to hatch. Eggs are rich In valuable minerals and are a great source of vitamins * • • Grit in some form is essential tn ducks, and should be kept before them at all times. • » • Now that practically all chicks are hatched the male birds should be sold or used on the home table. Practically no male birds on the average farm should be kept more than one year. • * * It is important that the hens he provided with sonte source of green feed constantly. • * • A good way to feed hay to poultry Is to ctit It into inch lengths and then put it into a wire-netting basket feeder and keep it before the hens at all times. ♦• « 1 •Turkey hens like to find their own nests. Some time in advance of the laying season, make nests where it is convenient for them to lay, in a secluded place. • • ♦ The size of eggS\ is almost, if not quite, as important (as their number. Set eggs from hens (which lay stand-ard-sized eggs. • • • Early chicks are the' only type of chicks that will mature soon enough so that they will be matured and start laying at the best season of the year. • • » Dust wallows are a source of much pleasure to the hens during the summer months. Spade up the fresh, moist earth in the shade, and the hens will do the rest. * • • Hatching are worthless unless they hatch a relatively high percentage of chicks. • • • The Pekin duck is most popular for table use, but there are other- excellent varieties if one prefers them. • • • While she Is confined to the brood coop the turkey hen should get « mixture of farm grain, such as equal parts of oats, corn and wheat, with green feed, water and grR. Sometimes a little beef scrap or fresh lean meat helps.
