FIVE justices of the United States Supreme court have ruled. In the case of Prof. Douglas C.

SKCRETARY OF AGRICULTURE Hyde seems to be forestalling these Rapidan camp operations by planning considerable economies In his department expenditures, though this is difficult without curtailing lm- * portant services. He will be aided during the year by the termination of two emergency items—drought relief and highway construction. These totaled $100,000,000. providing aid for stricken farmers and jobs for the unemployed. Drought loans will be collected from fanners next fall, when their crops are harvested. States which have borrowed from the $80,000,000 emergency highway fund will repay the money over a five-year period through deductions from their regular shares of federal aid. After deducting extension service and land grant college funds, between M 0,000.000 and $50,000,000 remains for the department s actual expenses.

I NVESTIGATION of •. the building material Industry, especially those phases of it Involved in the letting of contracts for government buildings, has been begun by the federal trade commission. it Is believer! that the inquiry will throw a lot of light on the long existing fight between the Indiana

limestone men and the granite and marble men of New England. Such, at least, is the hope of Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota, who Introduced the resolution calling for the investigation. The trade commission, announcing that preliminary work already had been started, said: “In this Inquiry the commission will investigate and report facts relating to the letting of contracts for the construction of government buildings. particularly with a view of. determining whether or not there are or have been any price fixing or other agreements, understandings or combinations of Interests among individuals, partnerships, or corporations engaged tn the production, manufacture or sale of building nukerials with respect to the prices or other terms at or under which such materials will be furnished contractors or. bidders for such construction rork," Senator Shipstead said he Introduced the resolution because of complaints that such collusion between the purveyors of building materials did exist and because of further com-

plaints, seemingly aimed at the handling of contracts by the government Itself, that specifications for buildings were so framed that they unfairly limited the sources from which materials could come. The limestone-granite-marble controversy falls in the latter category. The charges are that Indiana's advocates have been too influential and have somehow or other put "Indiana limestone” into the specifications for too many government buildings. DIRECTORS of the American Society fbr the Control of Cancer have given out a report asking hospitals and universities to co-operate in the organization of special cancer institutes, services and clinics throughout the United States. This co-ordi-nated effort, the report states, offers a hope of making more effective the present attempts “to reduce the frightful mortality from this disease." The report says cancer took more than 100.000 lives in this country in 1920. being exceeded only by heart disease as a principal cause of death.-

Queen Helene

Experts from many lands were present when the inter|iath>nal tabor conference opened ' in Geneva, but the Unit- . . State* was not repretletited. Secretary of Lapor. I ’oak appointed Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the woman’s bureau, as the American delegate anti she sailed May 12. with the special hope that

Parliament is expected to adopt the measure as soon as it assem'do. an ] Helene will leave the | country permanently soon thereafter, terminating her uncertain marital statu- of- more, than two years. Observance, of the queen's saint, day last Thursday w:ts forbidden in an order issued by War Minister Stephanescu .! and authorized by Premier .Iprga.

Hanji Kanaya Geh, Nobuyoshl Muto; inspector general of military education. The ari:>\ personnel will Le redwood Ly 25.H00 and the savings will be devoted ; to making the army the best equipped , ' in the world, Tl.e people I. o’! hoped that the money would go toward lightening their tax burdens; but the war min- < ister explains that only $4,000,000 a year will be saved through the read- j justments planned, and this amount, ' while hardly noticeable in any tax , reduction program, will greatly aid I the nation in placing the army on a level With that pf Soviet Rus-:a and ■other countries which maintain effectively equipped forces.

SPAIN’S new Republican govern- ■ meat I* far from being stabilized yet. Its troubles, both exter-. nal and internal, continue to cause some uneasiness. According to the authorities In Andalusia, mar 11 a I law which was proclaimed there several weeks ago rriay have to be continued indefinitely because of

the turbulence of the Comnjunlsts, Al- [ so, martial law has been reinstated ’ in EMa. Valencia, where there was a ’ violent revolt last December.

Elections In i Catahmla resulted in Complete victory I f..r Colonel Francisco Maria's party. The assembly therefore will be dom-. 1 in.ited by those who demand autonomy for Catalohla under the authority of i the central government. ' I The other day the Republican government issued a decree guaranteeing absolute freedom of worship to all i religions. The pope regarded this as j a clear violation of the concordat still in existence between Spain and the I , Vatican, and he sent a formal protest ! , to Madrid after a conference with Cardinal Segura, the expelled primate . of Spain. * CHINA appears to be on the brink of another civil war. President Chiang Kai-shek bitterly denounces the Communist rebels of Kwantung and Kwangsi provinces and says the Nationalist government is forced to choose between accepting Communists Into the party, which it will not do. or resorting to war. Large bodies of troops were reported to be moving toward Canton to attack the insurgents. THROUGH its chairman, J, Weston Allen, the national crime commission makes a report asking all. states to pass a uniform law regulating theft information, ownership records and registration to check the growing evil of automobile thefts and the use of stolen cars by criminals. The committee also recommends the enactment by congress of the bill which makes criminal the transportation in Interstate or foreign commerce of property stolen or taken feloniously by fraud or with the Intent to steal or purloin. The bill passed the house of representatives but did not reach the senate during the last session of congress. T_l AVING changed his mind about appealing from his conviction ano 'sentence for bribery, Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, has asked the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse the decision of the District Court of Appeals. His brief attacks the validity of the indictment and the admission of certain evidence. , (£. lIJI. Wntira N'rvipapcr Uaton.)

DAIRY FEED EXPERIMENT WORTH MILLIONS Saving to Dairymen Total $6 for Each Cow. More than $6,000,000 a year is the difference between feeding more than a million of New York state’s dairy cows a 16 per cent or a 24 per cent protein concentrate grain mixture. This represent* a saving of $6 a year for each cow, to those dairymen who formerly fed the 24 per cent protein concentrate. The animal husbandry department at Cornell university has conducted the co-operative Grange League federation protein feeding trial since the fall of, 1928. or. E. S. Harrison says that, with i medium clover mixed hay and corn • silage, a 16 per cent protein concen- ; trate mixture of grain gave as much i milk as a 20 or 24 per cent mixture, , and that there was no evidence of anv i stimulating effect of protein on mila secretion; also that the total digest!- I Lie nutrients in the low protein ration were utilized by the" cows with the same efficiency that the high.protein ration slo wed/ the meaning of this being that 16 per cent protein content Is not low enough to effect the balance of a dairy ration so as to reduce the > relative efficiency of its other Ingredients. I Farmers who raise their own oars > ! and barley, will be further benefited j because they will be able to use a ■ much .larger proportion of home grown grains when, mixing their own dairy rations. Whereas.- it was necessary in mixing a ton of 24 per cent protein j concentrate ration, to use about 1.2U0 > pounds of expensive protein feeds 1 for every soo pounds of home-grown ' grains such ns ground oats ami barley. I it is now knbwnk us a resuit of the ■ I experiment, that a very satisfactory ; dairy ration with a 6 per cent protein content ; y be mixed, using .'ply <ot». ! pounds of the high protein feeds for j every I.2tMi pounds of ground oats and j barley. Table Tells Amount of Grain Daiify Cow Needs A dairy cow tiitt gives dally 3<> pound- of milk, testing 3 per cent of fat. should have 715 pounds of grain daily; if the butterfat content was 4 per cent she should get 10.1 po’tnds ■ of grain, accordin; to the new dairy | feeding table devised by J. W. AvetT of the New York State Col lege of Agriculture for dairy reVord club membe’s. For a cow giving 40 pounds of milk, ■ the same differenct in test changes the ■ grain requirement jfrom 11.2 pounds to 1'4.” pounds, and for a 50-pound cow. j from 15 pounds of grain to 19.2 pounds. The tabl ? gives the amount of grain ordinarily required by tow® giving from 8 to 52 pounds of milk daily, ranging In test /rom 2.5 to 7 per cent. The table emphasizes the need of , knowing both how much milk a cowgives and the test of feed economical- - ly. Mr. Avery suggests feeding more j grain if the cow its thin: if she is not 1 j eating her full allowance of roughage: if she <-c! Lt in -Q>'' give more milk : if near the end of the lactation period; . and heifer® still | growing should ge> j from 4 to 5 pounds more grain than ; the table indicates. ,| , Tft-- ' ng't:;! le with explanations ! of its u»e and suggestion* for rations i using honie-growii grains is available, free, on request to the department ' of animal husbandry at the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca, New York. Permanent Pastures Are Rich Source of Protein Permanem pastures may be made a rich source of valuable protein if a few simple practices are followed, aei cording to soil extension specialists at ! the »j I’o S::-:te tinivei sir v. The average pasture, they point out. returns from 6d to UM) pounds of beet This!at 10 <-ents a pound i dquals SG to SIP per acre less taxes, fences, mtscellarieous cost, and cost of wintering.

Wisconsin, i Vpnnont and New Jersey, all show i that with a sniall investment In Im- j I proving pastures they, may be made j one of the nm*t profitable pieces of land on the fJrtn. In an Ohio test, j 780 pounds of (protein were produced on one' acre sos improved pasture, which Is equivjalent- to S7S worth of dtliry feed calctrlated on the basis of , 24 per cent dairy feed at S4B per ton. In Wisipnsin 749 pounds of proteiq valued at $74.90 per acre were produced in a series of tests. Clean Milk Utensils ft is estimated that fully 75 per cent of the hacteriii in milk immediately after it is produced can be traced to the utensils ip which the milk was handled. The (contamination resulting from improperly cleaned and sterilized utensil* cin be reduced by rinsing the utensils Irf a chlorine disinfectant immediately before using. The disinfectant does -not take the place of proper sanitation and cleaning of the utensils, howetver. Thorpugh washing and scalding are imperative.

In the first ■ plate, being but 26 feet square, this I home may be built on a small 'lot ami I still leave a comfortable margin of , space for light, air and privacy be- j tween it and its neighbors on either ’ side. The square plan is, of course. | the most economical o'ne possible. gi'T ing the’greatest amount of floor spacein proportion. to the amount 'of wall and roof construction.

Equipment of Kitchen Must Be Up to Date In a recent house-planning contest in which 6.(mm) "ideal” plans were submitted the judgew'were unanimous in their report that the kitchen is the most carefully < studied part of each plan. As a matter of fact, the average housewife spends 76 per cent of her waking hours each day in the ‘'engine room” of the home. No wonder she is willing to forego a (,'ueen Anne front if she has to pay for it by having a Mitry Ann back. Ideally, the kitchen should have a central location in'the house, for easy access to all other parts. Ami in- order to save miles of walking during . the preparation of the thousand meals each year, it must be as small as consistent with the equipment which niust be placed there— a minimum of. say, 100 square feet for the average ■ home. ~~ | One of the most effective means of» cutting down needles* steps is the proi>er “routing" of the day’s tasks by the arrangement of permanent equipment and labor saying devices. The before-meal work must phigfes* along a path that does not cross and j recross Itself, and the after-meal work should travel along a similar short, direct path. Those same plans also indicated what the judges referred to as ".the tremendous demand for built-in features." The walls were fairly line<l with permanent furniture. Built-in i equipment which folds up is especially popular, as it has the added advantage of leaving the floor space free between times. The ironing board which folds up J into the wall has become an indisputable part of twery housewife’s plans. A close seconil is tiie folding breakfast table toAvhich we draw up the ( gayly hainted Windsor chair when the waffles are ready. Both of these.: are to be had ready-made in sizes through . lumber dealers. The j

Color Can Make Drab Home Place of Beauty More than ever before it is being realized that color can transform an uninteresting home into a place of beauty and cheer: that color can help make a room feel warm or cold; that color, wisely employed, can give brightness to a hallway that is dark or modify the effect of sunlight in a room that is overexposed. And the base of color schemes of the various rooms in usually the floor —heretofore restricted in hue to a few variations of the natural color of the wood. A new method of finishing maple flooring has made possible the employment of color in the floor. This uses an acid stain process developed recently by the Maple Flooring Manufacturers’ association in co-operation with the industry generally. The process may be used by any painter of ordinary skill, using the stans and varnishes recommended by the association. It imparts to northern hard maple a variety of delightful transparent permanent finishes, and -s

of every inch of the available space. Thjs is a four-room housewith the living room serving also as a dining room, an arrangement w hich has been gaining wide popularity in recent years with the demand for better utilization of s-pace. The separate diniftg jrooni is. from this point of view, a large waste, for it is used but a very small portion of the day. With the. arrangemetit shown here it L possible to provide in this small cottage two beerooms of a very comfortable size, and each provided with a good closet. Between the kitchen and one bedroom is the bath, and’ all of the rooms open onto a central hall space which occupies but a small part of the total floor area even though, it mus? also accommodate the basement stair. In exterior appearance this little home is particularly pleasing,” This is due, in large measure, to The roof lines which have ifeen §0 handled as to avoid the flat appearance which detracts from so many small homes of this type.

ironing board, especially, occupies stlch small wall space that it can be put into practically every kitchen. But when planning the house-that-is-to-be it is well to go'into the matter of fold-ups and other permanent furniture iri advance, and make mir plans conform to the standard sizes in which these things are available. This foresight will sav& unnecessary cost. Sanitary finish and appearance of the kitchens is a sine qua non. That floes not necessarily require that everytliing.be painted a flat white, like a ho'?oal. Sunshine ik T germicide, too—one-of the’ best. The kitchen ought to have plenty <>f windows, with cross venilation if at all possible. The matter of making the kitchen attractive arid cheerful while making it sanitary is ohe of the most important subjects to con ider. Noncorrocling Tank 4 Solves Disposal Problem. The individual sewage disposal system. for use in communities and districts M ithout sewers, has lieen the subject of intense 'scientific research within the last few years, and a type of TeiHfoice'l roncrote t:;nk Ims been eVolved 'vj‘a'h effectively itteinonstrates its superiority, over the • Id-fa'-I L'i.t-d, tins-iti-.raetory c.'"spool.

The tanks are iiitomle<l for installation where running vN.-er is available, but another type nittv l>e used in detache<l locations without water. No scavenger worla is nece-sary with either type.

their application brings out the delicate grain of the wad. creating a distinctive type of floor beauty never before achieved. • - in the application of the process the stain is covered by one coat of lae quer and two of finishing varnish Some of the colors adopted by the Maple Flooring Manufacturers’ association include Spanish brown, early American, autumn brown, silver gray, dove gray, royal blue, pastel green orchid and an ebony black. Obtain Expert Advice When Buying a Home No man can afford to lose more than two hours a day going to and returning from his work, unless the increased valu£ of the home property will repay that loss. The fact of going into debt is not in itself important if the value is right and it does not take too long to get out from under the load. Any man can secure expert advice on the wisdom of his proposed investment In home property —and free of cost, too. Your banker is the man to consult.

ILLS OF POULTRY ARE DISCUSSED Opportunities for Spread of Disease Greater. ‘‘Diseases of Poultry” is the title of a new bulletin which has just been published for free distribution to interested farmers and poultrymen, by the Colorado Agricultural college experiment station. Dr. I. E. Newsom, in charge of veterinary pathology at the college, is the author. "While knowledge of the cause of disease and its control is essential to the poultryman.” says Doctor Newsom. "the ideal should always be kept in mind of a system of management that will keep the birds in a state of health. Theoretically at least this is a possible accomplishment, and an outbreak of disease in a flock is evidence that the laws of hygiene have not been "With the increase in the size of flocks, opportunities for the spread of disease are greater, and the difficulties of housing and feeding are greatly increased. With the modern poultry plant of today careful attention must be given to these details r or the business cannot be maintained. ’’ Among the subjects discussed in , the bulletin in a general way are housing. feeding, water supply, yards, cleaning, disinfection and breeding. A large number of diseases'are discussed in detail.. Some of these are nutritional Youp. rickets ami leg weakness. cholera, typhoid, baeilliary white diarrhea, tuberculosis, roup, diptheria, ('ariadial,i tin. turkey roup or sinus disease. chickenpox, paralysis, coccidiosis. blackhead, thrush, parasitic diseases such as lice, mites and scaly leg; round worms, tapeworms, crop bound. cannibalism, constipation, dropsy, broken yolks, egg bound, air i tinder the skin, bumble foot, sod ilis- ( eases, tumors, botulism,poisoning, salt poisoning and arsenic poisoning.- ' Copies of the bulletin may be obtained on request. Steel Cut Oats Favored Young Chicks So many poultry .raisers lose sight ■/ of the fact that oats are lower in price than other grains, and at ,the same time one of the very best poultry feeds. They are > much better feed during hot weather than corn, being loss'’heatiriu' and -Containing less fattening matter, If oats are boiled, they w ill be more relished by the'hens. One quart of oats will swell into two quarts when boiled. Steel-cut oats also make excellent feed for young chicks. Sprouted oats are extensively used sis a winter green feed, and produce good results amongst the laying hens.. ■ c . Take Good Care of Eggs to Keep Quality Right At this season of the year it is important that eggs be gathered regularly. and it is a good plan to get rid of the male birds at the end of the hatching season. Eggs are a perishable product, in fact this is not siitlieiently recognized. Exposure to light, and especially to ■ sunlight, has a serious effect on eggs. Heat naturally is harmful, and the producer is Inclined to overlook tile effect that ’nest-boxes exposed to the , sun on the south side of, a fowl-house will have rapid deterioration of the eggs in the hot weather. Keep Poultry Healthy by Culling Sick Birds Culling out and isolating or dispos-’ • irig of sick birds is <>:ie of the most im.portant steps toward improved health .■i':-ong ;,'ultry, s.-iys .1. IL Claybaugti of the Nebraska College of Agriculture. He suggests that spread of disj ease may be somewhat controlled by i disinfecting the drinking water with chlorinated lime qr permanganate of potassium, TWo tablespoons of lime to three gallons of water is sufficient. The correct amount of ipotas-ium per- • mangate causes the water to become a bright wine color. Don’t Rush Pullets Those who hatched some of theli cfiicks early or bought them early doubtless have some of these pullets laving. Many owners of such flocks of early laying pullets are highly elated over the eggs they are getting now and probably have no further plans for these birds than to get "more and bigger eggs.” It will pay to give these birds some attention right wow and not rush them head-on into high production without considering a few points. Discard Roosters June 1 is usually set aside as the day on which to sell, pen, or cook every robster: This usually marks the end of the hatching season and the mates from that time on are a bill, of expense. The production of fertile eggs means a big loss during the summer by rots developing; This cannot occur when the males are sold because an infertile egg cannot rot. It can evaporate and lower the grade, but it is entirely fit for food. Prevent Disease Losses from pullorum disease or bacillary white diarrhea occur mostly during the first month of the chick’s life. This disease caqnot be cured. The best way to put a stop to the tosses is to buy or raise chicks from healthy parent stock and to be sure that all Incubators and other equipment have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The infection may be transmitted from the breeding stock through the egg or the chicks may contract it in the incubator.
