NEWS REVIEW OF / CURRENT EVENTS Ruler* of Soviet Russia Demoralize Wheat Markets of the World. By EDWARD W. PICKARD SOVIET Russia <9>cs with her might what her hands find to do, especially if It Is something that may annoy find embarrass the “capitalistic" nations—meaning all that are hot Soviets. i»f late the Communist dictator*, in Moscow have liven devoting much attention tn wheat, selling short on the Chicago Board of Trade and dumping grain on the European markets at cut prices, resulting tn the lowest prices for wheat In many years and much Indignation and alarm In various countries. The Russian operations on the Chicago board were made public by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, who asked the pfflclal* of that orgai n to do. something about it. Those gentlemen, while Instituting an investigatlon. intimatod that a* the board was open to th* world for trading thej might not be able to do much to prevent such hedging in the future. Any! ow, these operations were in themselves far less Important and portentous .than the. dumping of llti*s>:in ■w. G.-.-st and the evident fact that Russia was becoming n serious competitor in the grain market -of the w#t Id with the United States, Canada,' Argentina and other wheat growing countries: The Soviet r •r- ' - . ,'■ s ' the | tlon and marketing of grain in Russia, and though that country Is not yet. producing: enough for its own needs, they are-keeping the Inhabitant* on ahoyt rations and selling the grain i bro.td' because they need the money. Soon.. maybe by n> \t year, t|ielr system of mass production aided by the Use of American’farm machinery will be In full effect, ami apparently the farmers of other eouht:,e!. wbl have to meet the situation by similar mass production methods, or go under. DURING the week many suggestions for relief were made in many quarters. A Romanian in the League *t Nation* assembly pleaded for a European preferential tariff to protect the farmers of eastern Europe. The Swedish bead of a .great Argentine wheat firm - ert method would be f<>r the world to boycott Russian wheat. In the Baltic states there were demand* for government action against the Russian dumping that threatened the ruin <>f local industries and trad*. • rs. Four representatives of the Canadian grain trade sailed for I.ondon with the dominion premier and other cabinet members to attend the imperial conference opening October 1. making it likely that the grain situation would be considered by the conference. Officials of the American Farm Bureau federation, the National Grange and the Farmers’ Educational and C<vopcrative union announced they had been Investigating the disastrous wheat slump situation and would report their findings soon. The farm federation. Secretary Winder states, lias had under consideration for some time legislation designed to more thoroughly- regulate the boards of trade to “prevent just such manipulation as has occurred during the last f-w months." .Congressman Fish of New York, chairman of the house committee on Communist activities, summoned the members of the committee to Chicago for a hearing on the Russian short selling on the Chicago board. Toward the close of the week wheat prices recovered somewhat in the United States and Canada, due to liberal buying and to reports that the Russian'lnterests were covering their short deals. In Chicago the Russian scare was regarded as about passed, bpt from London came a dispatch saying that Canadian and Russian grain was competing for sales and that American hard wintec wheat was in •mail demand because ft was held at higher price levels than either the Canadian or Russian product PROSPECTS for early disarmament In Europe, or even reduction of nrtnament. were put on the skids when It was officially announced at Geneva that negotiations between France and Italy for settlement of their naval problems had been discontinued. The only point of agreement between the two governments, said one of the Italian experts, was on the naval building holiday to last until the end of the year. Some of the League of Nations delegates, including the British. seemed to think it would be st least advisable to postpone the conference of the League preparatory disarmament commission, scheduled for November 3.

/ The French and the Italians blame each other for the failure of the conversations, but at this distance the Italians appear to. have the better of the argument. After France refused the Italian suggestion that British experts aid tn the conferences, Italy, still insisting that her right to naval parity with France be nominally admitted, proposed a new yardstick whereby the number of units as well as tonnage would be considered. The plan- would give France a big advantage In actual tonnage between 1930 and 1936. France rejected the offer and made a counter proposal which Italy considered so drastically unfavorable to her that it could n<>t be considered. THIS Frnnc<>T.tallan situation. In the opinion of some observers, may imperil the three-power Londbn agreement, because England depends on a satisfactory reduction of the French and Italian naval programs In order to maintain the two-power' Standard which she Insists upon for the British .navy. It may well mean, too. the renewaUnext year of the naval building race among the powers, and it is likely to have effect on tlie debates in the next ct,across of the United States. J. J. Loudon of Holland, chairman of the League preparatory disarmament commission, outlined before the assembly commission the status of the' general question, and. despite the Italo-French deadlock pledged the commission would meet November 3. "Apart from naval questions, there are the questions of available .man power, war material and hudgetry expenditures and the matter of creating a permanent disarmament committee as wed ns deaiing with arbitration Mnd security,** he said. “We are determined to reach a conclusion in November and the January council can then fix the date f<’r a general disarmament conference." LtNEMIT.OYMENT In the United ' States decreased considerably In the < ir!v weeks of September, according to William Green, [.resident of the American Federation of Labor. He said: “Trade unions in 24 cities report September unemployment of 21 > .-.r oent compared with 22 per cent out of work in July and August, "’e welcome this more definite trend for the better. It Indicates improvement In the business situation, at least seasonally. This Is the first time Ln the thres* years since we have collected figures from trade unions that employinent has shown so definite and general an improvement in September, “However, the upturn in employment has been only slight In comparison to the large numbers still needing jobs. Even if conditions Improve further in October, as they Sometimes do, millions will have scant substance to provide against the dreaded winter months ahead.” CHANG, dictator of Manchuria, has moved emphatically to put an end t<> the clvll4var in China. His armies marched to Peiping, occupying Tientsin on the way, and taking possession of (he old capital glty posted proclamations demanding that the fighting cease and assuring peace to northern China. Chang gained complete control of Chihli province without the firing of a single shot, and his troops settled down for a long stay. The le;id« rs of the northern rebel alliance withdrew* to the mountains of Shansi province and their future movements were uncertain. . ' - The collapse of the rebellion and the action of the Manchurian war lord lead the Soviet Russian government to consent to the opening of the Chinese-Rjissian conference in Moscow on October 11. Russia had been holding up this meeting in the hope that the Nationalist government would fall. SENATOR NYE'S campaign investigating committee went to Lincoln. Neb., and learned a lot about the Republican senatorial primary campaign tn that state that is pleasing to the insurgent Republicans and correspondingly annoying to the Republican national senatorial committee. It appears from the evidence that George W. Norris, young grocer of Broken Bow. was induced to enter the primary in order to force Senator George W. Norris to run as an independent, and that the scheme was engineered by Victor Seymour, now assistant vice chairman of the above mentioned senatorial committee. Witnesses said Grocer Norris received a SSOO bond after completing his filing. Nicholas roosevelt as vice governor of the Philippines was decidedly obnoxious to the natives, who asserted he was against Independence for the islands and also was out of sympathy with and prejudiced against the Filipino people and Orientals In general. Therefore Mr. Roosevelt wrote to President Hoover last

week that his usefulness there was impaired and it was best for him to retire. The President accepted the resignation “reluctantly" and immediately announced the appointment of Mr. Roosevelt as minister to Hungary. In that post he will succeed J. Butler AV right, who will be made minister to Uruguay to succeed Leland Harrison, resigned. Who will be vice governor of the Philippines was not announced. NTEW YORK Republicans went wet ' in their state convention and nominated for governor Charles H. Tuttle,Who recently resigned ns fed-, oral prosecutor tn New York city. The liquor plank, adopted over the strenuous objections of the drys, favors repeal of the EightfM*nth amendment and restoration to each state of the right to deal with the liquor problem as its citizens see fit, but with the proviso that the saloon system and private traffic In Intoxicating beverages be outlawed everywhere by the Constitution. KENNETH MACKINTOSH, a member of President Hoover's law enforcement commission, says that when that body reconvenes on October 8 he will Insist that it “go to the guts of the prohibition question." He regards the issue as one of the most Important economic and social prublerfis since the question of slavery, and wants the commission e to say whether or not the dry law is enforceable, and if not. what can be done about it. Former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, who is being boomed by his admirers for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1932, has just returned from Europe and in the interviews he granted he made it evident that if he is a candidate it will be on a wringing wet platform. CHILE’S government frustrated an attempt at military revolution which was started at Concepcion. Five Chilean exiles landed there in an airplane and tried to induce the garrison to revolt. They were at once arrested by military authorities, as later a number of others, officers in the army. The plane uspd by the exiles was piloted by two Americans, Edward O. De Lorin and Reed S. Doyle. BEFORE the German-American mixed claims commission in The Hague Robert W. Bonyngd. the American agent, produced a mass of evidence to show that the-German government waa responsible for the Black Tom and Kingsland munitions explie sions in 1916 and 1917. and to back up Americas claim for $40,000,000 damages. He also showed that thousands of horses and mules gathered on Long Island for shipment to the allies were infected witli anthrax gerins. by German agents. This latter charge was admitted by Von Lewinski. counsel for Germany, but he denied the allegations about the munitions blasts. * DOLF HITLER, head of the ramXX pant Fascists of Germany, declares bis party intends to destroy the treaty of Versailles, by legal means if possible, otherwise by means looked upon by the world as illegal. Hitler made this assertion when he wsts called as a witness at the trial of three reiebswehr officers accused of treason. “The National Socialists do not regard the International agreement as law, but as something forced upon us," he said. “Germany is gagged by the peace treaties. We do not acknowledge our guilt in the war, especially nQt the guilt of future generations. When we_ shall oppose these treaties by every possible means we shall find ourselves in the midst of revolution. “We shall oppose these treaties both diplomatically and by completely evading them. That may be looked upon by the world as an illegal method, but we will not employ It until the party has been victorious. After two or three more elections our party will be tn the majority.” Again and again he stated with emphasis and emotion that he was planning no armed revolt “We don’t need an armed revolt," he said, “all we need is another election.” Encouraged by the success of the Hitlerites in Germany, the Fascists of Austria brought about the downfall of the Scbober cabinet DEATHS of the week included those of Representative Charles M. Stedman of North Carolina, last of the Civil war veterans In congress; Henry Phipps, retired steel magnate; D«. J. T. Torrance, originator of condensed soup; Frederick L. Mandel, leading Chicago merchant; Mrs. f Emma Ashford of Nashville, Tenn., composer of “Abide With Me” and other sacked music; Philo A- Otis, a civic leader in Chicago, and Gen.

wvi'ipy HENHOUSES LEFT* IDLE KILLS LICE When Fowls Are Removed Pests Do Not Survive. Cnder K ordinary temperatures a louse will not live more than a week removed from a bird, so if louse-free chickens are to be placed in it henhouse previously occupied by other poultry, it is necessary only to clean the house' a week or so In advance, according to F. H. Wilson of the department of entomology of the New York state ndlege of agriculture. In-cubator-hatched chicks can bq reared louse tree quite easily if they are isolated from other chickens, he says. To rid birds of lice the soiiium fluoride treatment is recommended. I‘incties of this material distributed among the feat tiers is the usual procedure. It is a rather irritating subtance so precautions should l»e taken to prevent its getting into the eyes or widely distributed over otiej’s skin. Mr. Wilson warns. If the bird is dusted over a paper, the duri which does not stay on the bird can be saved and used again. A new method to kill lice suggested by the makers of nicotine sulphate is to paint the upper surfaces of the roosts with tiie sulphate, undiluted. It is thought that the fumes from this material rising among the fejitliers of the HM>sting chickens will kill the lice and cause them to drop,off. To merely clean the henhouse and leave it a few days will not kill red mites, tiowever-. These are small reddish colored creatures thin live in cracks and crevices arid crawl over Hie birds at night to feed, [and then they return to hide during the day. Painting or spraying the roosts with kerosene or a properly diluted solution of nicotine sulphate usually eliminates the mites, ' Weed Out Boarders and Save High-Priced Feed Weed out boarders that host thou- I sands in feed. Failure to ! weed but and sell the unprofitable hens during the summer costs poultrymen thousands of dollars each year. Profit that could be realized from the laying hens is used to feed those tmarder hens that eat high-priced without producing any eggs. Thisj loss can easily be stopped by cull-inti the flock a! out once each month during the summer. Culling at regulnf intervals makes it possible to removtf- from the flock of unprofitable hen's shortly sifter they cease production.

By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A Radford will answer qiH-stii-ns and give adv: e .FREG > -F. O'ST Un all problems pertaining to the subject >f building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On acco.untiof his wide exflerien’ce as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Ad dress all inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 407 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, IU., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. While building costs today are greater than they were 15 years ago, dairymen throughout the country are finding It economical to build a modern barn to house their milking herd and the fee<| required to carry tbeanimais through both Hie fall, winter and spring when there is no pasture. And even in the summer it Is advisable toadd a grain ration to the pasture, in order to keep up milk production and keep the dairy operation on a paying basis. Shown in the accompanying design Is a combination’ horse and dairy barn for the farm where a small herd of dairy cows is kept. It will be noted (hat a concrete wall separates the dairy barn from the horse barn. This is In conformity with the laws of many states which prohibit the lions Ing of horses and dairy rattle in the f.irir stable. The floor plans x»f the stable floofr show single stalls for twelve cows. There are stalls for four horses in the other section of the stable floor. This barn is 34 feet wide and 46 Color Scheme Plays a Part in Many Illnesses A room is not well decorated unless you can convalesce happily in it. Try ywr color schemes out this winter when you have the grippe. That is the test-before you choose your new spring wall paper. A woman who would decorate a briiroom In the dismal combination of blue and gray deserves to have a rick spell in it. She never would expect to get well if the walls are painted gray and the woodwork white A bedspread of white candle wicking on a gray blue ground, gray rugs, a blue flounced dressing table and white dotted swiss curtains may have seemed like a harmonious ensemble in theory, but they are very weakening to a lady down with them. The few pink pillows and lamp shades and trimmings are not enough to cheer the room. To recover she should fasten her mind on the changes she will make. She cannot throw away the materials in use. But she could bring in a unique as well as cheering note with

feet long. The width—-34 feet—has been found, to be the most economical for a dairy barn. This allows for a driveway through the center and litter alley hack of each row of stalls. This floor plan specifies steel stanchions, i concrete manger with a drain so that it can be hosed out and kept clean, automatic drinking fountains at each .stall head, an overhead carrier track for the transportation of feed to the mangers and removal of litter, and an automatic ventilating system. AU of these things are labor savers and tend to make the herd more profitable. Cleanliness i*s an essential in the dairy stable while an automatic ventilation system keeps the constant flow of fresh air coming in for the animals and removes the foul air whicii is bad for the animals and for the purity of the milk. Besides the floor plan there is reproduced an architect’s cross section of the building showing how the frame Is set up and some of the details of construction. This cross section and the details will be of great assistance to anyone who is contemplating building a barn of this type. Paint a Protection Three coats of white lead house paint make a film which measures about nine one-thousandths of an inch in thickness. Yet this thin coating will protect a surface against snow, sleet, rain and hot sun for many years, yellow. A yellow wall paper would be tonic if it had tiny blue and pink flowers in the design to tie up witli the present furnishings and silver dots for interest and to repeat the gray In tiie rugs. Yellow wall paper is a better foil for mahogany furniture than gray. And now* that the lady has such a pleasant room to lie in she will probably never fall ill again. Best Materials Needed for Protection of Roof Since the beginning of the human race the word “roof’ has been a symbol of home, security and comfort. Modern houses are designed to protect the tenants from rain and wind, lightning and fire and from snow and sleet. Upon the power of the roof to resist these. constant attacks depend the comfort and security of all civilization. One unfailing protection against the ravages of rust and decay is the use of pure copper. It never rusts, it is called the everlasting metal. The best roof is. the 'one assuring maximum protection at minimum upkeep.

USING PASTURES TO REDUCE COST Dairy Cow Pays High Returns for Good Grass. Pastures that will provide at least seven months of good grazing, and a plentiful supply of legume 'nay for the winter months are the two principle Items needed to reduce the of producing milk. “If our dairymen are to compete with those from other sections, the cost of producing milk for market must be reduced,” says A. C. Kimrey, dairy extension specialist at the North Carolina State college. “The best way to do this is to provide more and better pastures which will supply profitable grazing for at least seven months of the year r.nd to grow an abundance of high quality legume hay for winter feeding. Grass is the cheapest source of,nutrients for milk production. This grass may be grown anywhere in North Carolina where the dairymen will use fertile land for the purpose. It is impossible to build a good pasture on poor soil just as it is impossible to secure a profitable corn yield on poor soil.” Mr. Kimrey says this does not mean to use the more desirable fields of the .farm as pasture; but there are many farms with good rolling land which will wash badly when cultivated that may be profitably planted to grass. Good creek bottoms could also be used. The dairy cow will pay a high return per acre for good pasture. Rec-j ords kept on four North Carolina herds, embracing 123 cows, showed a return of an acre for the grass consumed during a grazing season of six months. This was an average .of more than $7 an acre for each month. In securing these figures.-tbe milk was valued at the average wholesale prices paid by milk plants. Mr. Kimrey says similar returns can be duplicated on any dairy farm in North Carolina. He claims also that pastures are essential in growing out the young stock so badly needed. Proper Sterilization of All Dairy Utensils The proper sterilization of dairy utensils is:somewhat difficult in farm dairies where there is no Live steam. Boiling water is effective if it is really • boiling but in too many cases it is just hot and this does not kill bacteria. A neighbor, who is fortunate in having all his buildings, wired with electricity. lias installed an electric water heater in the dairy room at the barn. All milk pails and the metal parts of Ins milking machine are thoroughly scalded and he reports fewer com,p>alnts from the shipping plant than was the case when boiling water was carried from the house. Where such is not possible the use of sterilizing ■solutions should be considered. The hyiktchloritee are best for this purpose _ and may be had in both powder and liquid form. Your druggist can advisees to what he carries in stock. All that is necessary in a container,to hold the sterilizing -solution and into tliis dip the milk vessels. The directions for making the solutions and the frequency of changing it. should be strictly adhered to if good results are to be obtained. Dairy Notes Only a few days are usually necessary to tench the calf to drink from the bucket. • • » Old, low-producing cows should be made ready for the butcher at the earliest possible date. The better calves should be properly grown and given a chance to become profitable producers. •• * ♦ Dry cows should be fed some grain during the entire dry period which is usually of about six weeks’ duration. Hay is fed to calves as soon as they will eat it. They also receive whole grain and wheat bran as soon as they have a liking for it * * * It is just as hard to make milk In summer as it is in 'winter, and Hie heaviest producing cows will pay well for a little extra feed if they are on thin, dry, scant pasture. • • • The usual falling off in milk flow in most dairy herds during the late Summer.months is due chiefly, to an insufficient amount of feed and the hot weather. • • « The calves should be put in clean, bright, dry quarters out of sight of the cows. It is best to wait 12 to 24 hours before attempting to teach the calf to drink, as it will be hungry by then. • • • After the heifers are bred they must be fed enough grain and hay or pasture to meet the demands of the developing calf and to keep them growing and developing at the same time. Too often they are. turned out on the pasture and neglected until a week or two before calving. ( Care should be taken to prevent calves from nursing each other immediately after each feeding, as this practice sometimes causes blind quarters in their udders when they calve. This can be done by using calf stanchions or tying the calves up for 30 ■ minutes after feeding. Every separator should test the skim milk regularly to detect any loss of butter fat. Most creamery operators are glad to do this for their patrons. However, the matter needs constant attention.
