NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Farm Board’s Experiment in Stabilizing the Price of Wheat May Succeed. By EDWARD W. PICKARD UNCLE SAM. through the medium of the farm board's stabilization corporation, is engaged to another noble experiment, namely, the support of the domestic wheat market to keep prices from experiencing unwaiTanled declines. Thus far the experiment seem* to be successful, for purchases by the corporation maintained the price on the Chicago lioard of Trade around the 73 rent level, while wheat in foreign markets was slumping far below that point. Before the week dosed, it was estimated. the stnfillization corporalioh was holding about HMMMO.OOO bushels, and it was said to Washington that the federal furtn board would. ask congress in the next session for another appropriation of $11X1.(100 JKM to continue the purchasing jHdicj. The coarse grains committee of the board at u session in the Capital strongly endorsed the policy adopted by the corporation. It pointed out that prices of coarse grains had failed to reflect the shortage caused by last summer’s drought, owing to the weakness in the * wheat market. A check to this decline has been essential if coarse grain prices are to show the strength (tar- • ranted by shortage this year, the committee declared. It recommended that the Treasury safeguard the Interests 'W domestic producers of roars** grain “by levying the maximum duty on all mixtures of feedstuffs." The government’s stabilisation efforts were nt first severely Condemned by many grain men. but their success In the admitted crisis brought about.® decided change In opinion and won general support for the plan. However. there remains the question of the disposal of the great surplus accumulated by the corporation. Whether any considerable part of it can be sold- abroad Is problematical, for other countries are getting ready to prevent th!>* by anti dumping _ legislation god decrees. PREMIERS and bankers of the western proxtm-es of t'amida are doing what they can to restore wheat prices and prevent a recurrence of the. slump, and with a measure of success. On the Winnipeg grain exchange prices were rising and greater ednfldeuce was manifest. The leaders up there declared, the Canadian wheat jmjol would not be broken by tbe crisis. The premiers of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan were in conference tn Montreal and suggested that th# government set a temporary mimimunt of about 70 cents a busliel. A dollar mind mum, however. Is the goal of Saskatchewan farmers, and wheat growers of Alberta urged a mlmimum of $1.15. Any plan for stabilization . by the Dominion government must await the return of Premier Bonnett from London, and he probably would put it up to the parliament, which *7 meets four months hence. THE immediate reason for the farm board's action is thus set forth by an expert: The western wheat cooperatives, both in the United States and Canada, have borrowed heavily from banks. As wheat prices declined, and the margin of collateral got thinner and thinner, the co-operatives were faced with Just one thing—the forced selling of millions of bushels of wheat. A drop of a few cents more a bushel might bring on a crisis of major propc rtions. American millers have bedp contending with plenty of can.vN *q „r ders upon the theory that wheat can be bought much cheaper at a later date. Possibly HMJ.OOO.OOO bushels of wheat were affected in these two situations. So, Mr. Legge and his associates of the farm board again entered the market to stabilise prices. WITH a stirring and optimistic speech President Hoover oftened Wednesday night the White House conference on child health and protection which undertakes to develop into a national welfare program the suggestions be made a year ago. Twelve hundred experts have been working on the problems he set forth at that time and it was for this conference to co-ordinate their solution*. When the big gathering had been called to order by Secretary Wilbur, its chairman Mr. Hoover delivered his address to which be asked for safeguards and services to childhood beyond the reach of the individual parent

and which can be provided only by the community, the state or the nation. “If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated and healthy children" he said, “a thousand other problems of government would vanish.” His solution for the questions concerning childhood which he said should stir a nation was “much learning and much action." "! In closing, the Chief Executive said: “In the vision of the whole of our social fabric, we have loosened new ambitions, new energies; we have produced a complexity of life for which .there is no precedent. With machines ever enlarging mhn's.power and capacity. with electricity extending over the world its magic, with the air giving us a wholly new realm, our children. must be prepared to meet entirely new contacts and new forces. They must be physically strong and mentally Placed to stand up under the increasing pressure of life. “These are a part of the problems (hat I charge you- to answer. This task that you have come here to perform has never been done before. These problems are not easily answered. they reach the,very root of our national life." PILLOWING the collapse of the in “ vestment banking Jiou.se of Caidwell A Co. of Nashville. Tenn., more than fifty banks have closed or! suspended payment. Most of them are see. but some are in Arkansas. Kentucky and Missouri. The affairs of Rogers Caldwell, head of the investment concern and formerly regarded as h finiCnciai wizard. had been to parlous state since September, when a state bank examination of a subsidiary of his company, the Ilank of Tennessee, caused the authorities to require a deposit of $3.840,<)00 In securities to cover liabilities. Incidentally, the attorney general of Tennessee now announces these securities are missing. Thursday morning the Central Bank and Trust company, largest financial institution In Asheville. N. C.. failed to open for business. A notice was jiosled stating the bank was closed by order of the board of directors “for the conservation of Its assets.” The bank’s latest statement of condition showed deposits of more than $lB, 000.000. * William Virgil Bell, president of the First National bank of Horse ('aye. Ky.. which closed early in the week, committed suicide by hanging. TRUSTEES and faculty of the Uni verslty of Chicago have sanctioned a radical experiment In education. The traditionally -equired four-year course will’be abandoned ard a system substitute*! whereby a student may be graduated whenever able to pass examination requirements. The undergraduate school and the graduate college, as such, will be abolished The institution hereafter will consist of the nrofessfon'til schools and five divisions in art®—the humanities, the biological sciences, the social sciences, the physical sciences and the college. President Robert Maynard Hutchins says of the reorganization: “It means that we shall be aide to co-ordinate our teaching and to coordinate- our scholarship. The student who hitherto has been prevented by departmental limitations from working In fields related to his special Interest will get such an opportunity from the divisional program- Co-or-dination achieve*! hy divisional program means a saving to the university In that duplication of courses will be eliminated. ' ; ”Our research program will be aided because the divisional organization puts In one group all the faculty members who have a common Interest and relation in their work., “Those students who wish to obtain only a general education may get It as fast as they are able, and if that is all they want, they may depart from the university with honor. By enabling a student to acquire a general education as quickly as his ability permits. a considerable saving In time should result fnr those who wish to go into professions such as lajr or medicine." ENGLAND is hearing some unpleasant statements concerning her rule of India from the native delegates to the roundtable conference tn Ixmdon And those delegates, representing the princes, the Hindus, the Moslems, the Brahmins and the untouchables, are united to the demand that India be granted at least dominion status with federal rule. Among the distinguished Indians who voiced their country's wishes last week were the maharajah of Bikaner, noted fighting prince; Sir TeJ Ba handur Sapra. leader of the Nationalists; Mr. Jayakar. a brilliant young lawyer; Dr. B. S. Moonje, a Hindu leader; Muhammed All, prominent Moslem, and the beautiful Begum*Sbah Nawaz. The attitude of the Tories of England was set forth by Lord Peel, former secretary of state for India, who

surprisingly asserted that no promise of dominion status, now or in the near future, had been given by Great Britain. After defending the British rule in India he suggested that a beginning be made by giving the provinces a certain amount of autonomy, while maintaining a strong central government unchanged from the present one. CTRIKES and riots prevailed In many cities of Spain for a week and strenuous effortswere made by the Republicans and Communists to convert them into r political demonstration that would overthrow the monarchy. But the government adopted stern measures and succeeded in quelling the disorders. The biggest of the strikes was in Barcelona, always a center of disturbance, but after several days its abandonment was ordered by the labor federation that started it. In Madrid and Salamanca there, were strikes by students, who demanded a republic. The wiser antimonarchists in Spain believe they will succeed before very long in their aims but that the time Is not yet ripe. STENIO VINCENT, editor of the Haiti Journal, a lawyer and former diplomat, was ele* ted President of Haiti by the national assembly to suc<?ee<l/feicene Roy. Vincent is one of ther thost strenuous opponents of American occupation and his victory was rather a surprise. He is the first regularly elected President of the republic since American intervention In 1916. Following the recommendation of the Hoover commission that went to Haiti In February, that the office of American commissioner general be terminated. Brig. Gen. John H. Russell has left the Island, and the new Amer lean minister, Dana G. Munro, has arrived in Port Au Prince, the capital. GEN. CHARLES P. SL’MMERALL on Thursday concluded his fouryear term as chief of staff of the army, and was succeeded by Maj. Gen, Douglas MacArthur."ln his farewell statement General Summerall spoke enthusiastically of the reorganizations that have given the country its best organized army since the armistice, and gave high praise for the officers’ and enlisted men's intelligence, loyalty and devotion to duty. General Summerall, a native of Florida, was appointetl to the military academy at West Point in 1888. Vpon graduation in 1892 he was commissioned a second lieutenant of Infantry. The following year he was transferred to the artillery.

ALFALFA HAY IS BEST COW FEED Good Practice to Supply It With Silage. (By JAMES W. LINN. Extension Dairyman, Kansas State Agricultural College.) Alfalfa plays an Important part to the ration for the dairy cow. When fed with silage it should be about onefourth of the entire ration; that is. one pound of alfalfa hay for each three pounds of silage fed. If alfalfa !•» fed in a combination with other roughages which are dry. then it > hould be about one half of the ration consumed. It is a go*ai practice to feed alfalfa with silage, for silage has other beneficial effects, such as adding succulence to the ration. To a certain extent the silage takes the place of green psisture grasses. A very well balanced dairy ration where alfalfa and silage are fed is one pound of alfalfa to three pounds of silage. This combination leaves but one reason why something else should be added to the ration, and that to the fact that not enough pounds of food nutrients can be consumed in these roughages to supply the needs of a heavy producing dairy cow. To meet this need it is necessary for the dairyman to feed grain. When alfalfa and silage are the roughages used by a dairy cow the recommended grain ration. Includes: Four parts corn chop; two parts, of oats chop, and one part cottonseed meal. The dairyman may substitute for his corn chop barley, kaffir, or milo seed. In the place of oats he may substitute bran, and in place of cottonseed meal, linseed meal whenever any of these products are cheap er than those named in the ration. To Produce Clean Cream Obey Few Precautions Dairymen can increase the demand for their dairy products and thereby benefit their Industry by being careful to always produce clean cream, says State Dairy Commissioner Walter R. Freeman at the Colorado Agricultural college. By following a few simple precautions. he says, dairymen can produce clean.' well-flavored cream that will raise the score of butter. These, precautions. listed in n new circular just issued by the college extension service. are 1 as follows : 1. Daily grooming of milk cows. 2. \yashe*l and sterilized equipment. 3. Proper cooling of cream, 4. Frequent deliveries. “Elaborate barns and expensive equipment are not necessary to produce clean milk." the commissioner says to this circular, copies of which nwy be obtained on request. “As the milk comes from the cow it is clean, provided the animal is healthy. Outside contamination then is the chief cause of laid flavors, rancid or yeasty conditions." Use Production Records to Locate Best Animals More and more we are understanding the mode of inheritance by which the chief economic function of dairy cattle is transmitted from parent to progeny. For a long time it has been known that breeding the best to the best would tend to beget that which is desired in animal breeding. Our chief problems now seem to be (1) Improving our means of finding the best animals. and (2) getting dairy farmers to use the best means we have. Testing for production records is the best means we have of measuring the chief economic function of dairy cattle. It works for good in two directions. It finds the best and the poorest animals. It enables the breeder who nses'it to purify the transmitting powers of his best animals by removing the influence of animals with undesirable characters. CXXKXXXXXXXXXKXXXXXXXXXXXX) Dairy Hints 00000000000000000000000000 Torn silage does not keep well. See that the knives are sharp. • • • There are 42 tons of settled silage in a alio 12 feet In diameter filled 20 feet high. • • • Cows that freshen to the fall produce more milk than those that freshen at any other time. • ■» • It is well to bear >n mind that milk from a given row In normal condition always has the same composition.

Ito the opposite —feed her all she can eat. • • • A good bull pen solves all them problems *>f'handling the bull. They should never be allowed to run with the her*!, especially during the fall and winter. • • • Ice cream can t»e easily and Inexpensively made on the farm. Try your favorite recipes or use the following: 2’4 quarts of 25 per cent cream; three-fourths pint sugar, and a tablespoonful of vanilla. Freeze quickly with a nHxture of one pound coarse salt to six to eight pounds of crushed ice. • • • Where cows are stabled continuously water can best be furnished by the drinking cup method. Where they are turned loose—or where the barn teaches freezing temperature part of tbe time —most of the time this method will not work. Why wait until breeding time to purchase the dairy bull? The dairyman bas tbe advantage of more time tor selection as well as a price advantage at this time of year. It may >e a wiser practice to buy a half inerest to a neighbor’s proven bulk J

Homes to be built on wooded sites or where there are natural surroundings oftentimes are prettiest when they are of the cottage type of home building design. The house shown in the accompanying illustration suggests a cottage but it is a full two-story frame home containing seven rooms and bath. The suggestion of a cottage is achieved by the unusual roof lines which come down at a steep pitch from the ridge at the front, giving the

Explains Methods of - Insulating the Home , The best advice that your architect or your friend or your home builder can give, whether your house has been built or is to be built, is insulate and insulate thoroughly and well, writes Roger B. Whitman in "Better Homes and Gardens.” Your home is neither modern nor economical, nor healthful unless it is insulated, not to mention being as comfortable. Insulation, continues Mr. Whitman, is a new, practicable application of a long-known scientific principle applied for many years to refrigerator cars and ice boxes, but now applied with equal success to our homes. It Involves the use of storm windows, weatherstrips and .insulating material in the walls. With insulation the heating plant can be smaller, the saving in the cost and installation of the, heater going far to pay for the beatproofing. It is a matter of course that the fuel hills will be reduced, and as the house will be tight and free from drafts, there will be less dust in the air to discolor walls, ceilings and draperies. A house from which heat cannot escape is also protected against heat from outdoors. An attic that in a house of ordinary construction would be unbearably hot during the summer may when insulated become the coolest part. While insulation is. principally used to offer resistance to the passage of heat, the same materials wilt absorb sound waves and deaden noise. Insulating walls and roofs is accomplished either by the use of rigid, flexible or bulk insulating materials. Rigid sheets are popular because they can serve for other purposes besides insulation, replacing the usual boarding or as a support for plaster. They can also be papered or calcimined. The sheets may be nailed to either side of the studs. A space of from one-eighth to one-fourth inch should he left between adjoining sheets to allow for expansion, for otherwise there will be danger of buckling. Two layTake Precautions When Foundations Are Built There are many panaceas for the damp or flooded basement but the only successful ones are those which will keep the water out.. Where the foundations are of poured concrete, as is often the case, the integral waterproofing method is very practical, In this a water repellant is mixed in with the concrete, and bars the entrance of water after the concrete has set. The weak points of this system are the tie wires which may have been left extending through the wall when the forms were removed and joints between parts of the work poured on different days. Where the foundations are of block, stone or brick the Integral method is not possible. Waterproof mortar may be used in laying up the units of the wall but it is not a complete protection. In order to keep the water out it must be prevented from entering the wall at all. To attain this a waterproof coating is customary. This may consist of a waterproof cement trowled on and allowed to set before back fill- / ■

The floor plans show a bedroom on the first floor adjoining the enclose*! stairs with three other bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. The other three rooms on the first floor are the usual living rodm, dining room and kitchen. The size of this house is 24 feet by 26 feet exclusive of the porch.

one to another.are shown by the floor plans reproduced. , . . > How attractive this home may be with its well planned interior, and the open porch is ghown by the reproduction of the exterior. It has a roomy inviting appearance and still is simple and suitable for a lot on which there are trees and. shrubs or which has trees and shrubs as a background for a house. This is the type of economical frame home which will appeal to a great many prospective home builders. It has abundance of space in the inside, is attractive from the exterior and it is low in cost which will be au added inducement. « era are almost twice as effective as one, particularly if there is an air space between. Flexible materials are either applied on the sheathipg and underneath, the exterior finish, to the frame horizontally, outside or inside, or within the stud spaces vertically. Bulk materials, fibers and powders, are either poured into place, applied by hand or air pressure. With one type, water added to a powder swells the mixture and in 20 minutes it hardens into a mass. This insulation can also be readily cast into blocks to fit between rafters or elsewhere. Brick on Hollow Tile Makes Good Sound Wall A brick masonry house is a profitable investment always. Not all of these have solid brick walls, although to casual observation such may seem to be the case. Hollow tile is often used as a backing for the brick ; while the face of the wall looks like any other brick wall, the inner jiortion of the wall is of hollow tile into which the brick are thoroughly bonded. The results in a wall lighter in •weight, which is important in some types of construction. The air space results in a dryer and wanner wall. It is something practical to plaster on the inner surface of this wall when the total wall thickness is 12 inches or when the walls are not exposed to driving rainstorms. The inner surface of the wall can be readily damp-proofed with a bituminous coating which will not affect tbe plaster bond. The all masonry feature of the wall is an important consideration for those who would shun fire risk. Modernized House When the exterior lines of a house have been modernized, the dwelling virtually becomes a new. one. To strangers there is nothing to identify the residence as being one built 20 or 30 years ago. ing. or if the wall Is sufficiently smooth a bituminous coating may be brushed preferably in two coats. Homes Indicate the People Living in Them People reflect their environment Those who live in shabby* down-at-tbe-heels houses are likely to feel depressed and discouraged. We borrow much of our confidences and spirit from our surroundings. If they have nothing to give—no hope or confidence, no pride in home or joy in living—then they become a liability of such proportions that only the most herculean strength can resist them. Shingle Exteriors Good A complete absence of artificiality characterizes the home with shingle roof and side walls. Shingles, with their slight irregularities, their flexibility In style of laying, the lovely tones and blends possible in their coloring, offer to the home builder the distinction of individuality-tbs charm of naturalness. w-

INCREASED FEED IN WINTER BEST Good Way to Bring Up Production of Laying Fowls. With a 50 per cent production for young stock as a practical economical limit for their production. J. B. Hayes, poultry specialist at the University of Wisconsin, advises that careful feeding should attend their introduction into the class of producers. “Forcing," he declares, “should not be attempted on young. stock, nor should it be expected of them that production on top of early maturity gained from forcing will be the best for flock production." For poultry stock which is in condition to be forced, such as pullets that are well along to maturity. , and hens that have fully recovered I from their molt and are again in good J condition, increased feeding during thsf winter months is a good way to bring up production of the flock. One of the best of rations for the flock to bring them to better production Is this one: Scratch Feed Mixture — Cracked corn, 2 pounds; wheat. 2 pounds; oats, 1 pound. Mash—Bran. 100 pounds; wheat middlings, 100 pounds; buckwheat middlings. 100 pounds; ground oats, 100 pounds; oil meal. 50 pounds; salt, 3 pounds. Practices in feeding that have been found to - be the -best, according to Hayes, include the feeding of grain In two or three portions during the day. The mash is the true “forcer" of the feed for-the flock. Watch for Bumblefoot in the Chicken Flock .During the winter months when tha flock Is confined indoors on hard concrete or board floors, a few cases of bumbiefoqt are likely to develop and to require attention. Bumblefoot results to an abscess or corn on the bottom of the fowl’s foot, usually caused \by a jar or bruise received in jumping from a perch that is too high to a Irard floor. Occasionally the trouble \is caused by sharp corners on the perches or by perches that are too large for the fowls to rest on naturally. \ One of the best remedies for bumblefoot is preventions See that there are no sharp corners on the roosts and that the roosts areas low as they can be placed conveniently, particularly if one of the heavy breeds is being housed. Another Item that Is of value in prevention Is the matter of keeping a liberal supply of clean litter on the floors. In cases where buinblefoot develops, a few applications of tincture of iodine will usually effect a cure. If applied at the first signs of foot soreness. Egg-Eating Vice Needs j > Immediate Attention Whenever there is a tendency towards the egg eating vice the eggs should be gathered several times daily. It may seem a laborious task, but it to the only safe course The trouble may also be prevented by arranging the nests so that the fronts do not face the light. By turning them around, facing them towards the wall, the eggs are hidden from view, and there is less likelihood of any inquisitive bird locating the eggs. All nest boxes should be arranged so that they are at least a foot from . the floor of the house, thus preventing the hens from corning into direct contact with them. Poultry Notes r Clean straw in the nests insures clean eggs. • • • Poorly hbused. Improperly fed chickens are O>re susceptible to invasion of worms. , * * • Clean. ’ comfortable houses, good feed, clean drinking' dishes, clean feeders, will help keep chickens in good health. • • • Alfalfa, red clover and soy bean hays are all valuable. ..ranking in the order in which they are named. • • • Nob all pullets having a high beginning rate will be high producers, but those starting with a low rate of pro- ’! duction seldom succeed to paying for their feed. • • • Many farmers do nut seem to realize the value of some sort of green food for hens. It is absolutely essential that they have It if heavy egg production is expected. • • • The poor layer is through working until next spring. From now on she is* boarding off of her owner. • • • Give the breeding birds free range during pleasant weather. The addition of one pint of cod liver oil to each 100 pounds of mash will increase fertility and batchability. • • • A straw toft provides the best insulation above, although paper and sheathing on the under side of rafters with sawdust between gives effective insulation and is much used. • • • Six clean practices are advocated by poultry specialists for the growing of healthy birds. These are clean chicks, clean houses, clean litter, clean feed, clean management, and clean ground. All of these are possible and profitable. Approximately one dime of every 4 dollar expended for food goes for poultry products —six cents for eggs and four cents for poultry meats. • Thia indicates the esteem tn which poultry products are held by tha American consumer.
