SALARY INCREASES
/. At PRINTING OFFICE
REFUSED BY BOARD
House Committee Declines
to Sanction Recommends
tions of Senate.

Striking out every increase of salary
passed by the Senate, the House Com
mittee on Printing yesterday recon-
inended to the House the passage of a
bill which effects economies of approx
imatejy s75O,OoO in the administration of
the Government Printing Office.
The bill presents no other radical
changes from that passed by the Sen
ate. and the following are the more
important amendments to the measure
rs presented to the House:
The positions Of deputy public print
er and superintendent OF work are con-
solidateG, and duties formerly per-
formed by the former are assigned to
clerk above Class l.
Provision is made that either house
may abolish its folding room; $3.50 is
fixed as the maximum annual salary
which may be paid by the Public Print
er without specific appropriation; and
the compensation of principal classes
of skilled trades in the office under the
general term Of printers and bookbind-
ers is fixed at so cents an hour.
Compensation of job compositors, i'm:
posers, pressmen, gilders, marblers, and
bookbinding machine operators Is fixed
at & cents an hour higher than the
compensation to be paid to the other
ton. This is an increase Of cents
an hour in the compensation of jot
compositors and pressmen. The COM
pensation OF proof readers, makers-up
I fprinter-linotype operators. printer-mono'
type operators, stereotypers, and electro,
typers is fixed at so cents an hour.
The House committee recommends the
salary Of the Public Printer remair
at IS, 500. although the Senate bill rec
commended an increase to 5000. The ap'
pointment of a foreman Of binding, a.
a salary Of $500. Is recommended in the
bill.

Senatorial Primaries
In Iowa Tomorrow

The question of who will be the next
Senator from Iowa to succeed Senator
w. s. Kenyon will be settled tomorrow
IN Statewide primaries which will be
held there.
Interest in the struggle over the SEN
atorship is keen, not merely in Iowa but
outside the State. The Republican
contestants are Senator Kenyon and for
mer Senator Lafayette Young The for
mer Is a progressive. Young is a ma
Chine politician, a standpatter, and dur
ing his brief career in the Senate was
closely affiliated with the old Aldrich
crowd in the upper house.
, Victory for Young in Iowa would be
hailed by the Old Guard in Washing
ton as defeat for progressivism In
the middle West.
Senator Cummins has gone to Iowa,
and last night spoke in Des Moines in
behalf of Kenyon.
An element of importance in the situ-
alton Is the fact Kenyon, as assistant
ito the Attorney General, led the fight on
the meat packers. He has also fought
Lorimer and Stephenson. The packers,
big lumber interests, and other corpor-
alton interests are fighting him.

HuMuS AND SOIL MOISTURE

The volcanic ash soil of Central
Washington is rich in all mineral
elements of plant food but is not
very we'll supplied with decaying
vegetation or humus. Wherever
the annual rainfall is more than
fifteen inches this soil will produce
a crop every season if properly titled.
The same beneficial effects, which
are obtained by summer fallow
tillage, namely destruction of weeds,
conservation of moisture, and
making fertility available, may be
accomplished by growing cult
waited crop on the land.
With less than Is inches of annual
rainfall, summer following is gen.
orally necessary in order to conserve
two years moisture for the use of a
single crop; but the ability of the
soil to hold moisture does not de-
pend altogether on the tillage. A
large part of the water-holding
capacity of the soil is due to the
humus which it contains. Sum-
mer following causes much loss Of
humus from the soil because it per-
mits burning out of the humus from
the unshaded land during the hot
summer months. To counteract
this effect and to maintain the water
holding capacity of the soil, all the
stubble, straw or other vegetable
matter, which can be grown, should
be plowed under. Such things can
be plowed under without injury to
the succeeding crop if they are
disced thoroughly before blowing.
Deep fall blowing and thorough
surface tillage will make the best
use of the moisture in the soil and
at the same time permit the plow-
ing under of humus-producing ma
terial in the best possible condition
to maintain the productivity of the
soil.

RED SPIDER AND MITES

The red spider is not an insect,
but a mite. 1t sometimes is red
dish in color. hence the name, but
it is often brownish or greenish-
yellow. There are red spiders of
the orchard, of hops, of raspberries
and Strawberries, of greenhouse
plants, etc., as well as of grass and
shade trees, like locust and cotton
wood. The true red spider passes
the winter in the ground in partly
grown condition. Other red spiders,
like the clover mite or orchard mite,
lay thick shelled but microscopic
winter eggs on the bark of the plants
they infest. Often the eggs are so
numerous on certain twigs of Or
chard trees as to give a red color to
the bark. Such eggs are general
ly resistant to spray. Sulphur-lime
has but little effect on them, but
the Blackleaf spray destroys many.
All mites are susceptible to sui
phur. Plain cold water has also a
detrimental effect on their growth.
Summer sprays containing sulphur,
such as weak sulphur-lime Zone
part of concentrate with thirty parts
of water) or sulphured kerosene
emulsion, work we'll in checking
either the brown mites or red spiders.
In making the kerosene emulsion
add one pound of sulphur to each
gallon Of: kerosene used. A COM
mon formula is to add sulphur to
soap solution Us pounds sulphur,
and two pounds whaleoil soap to a
barrel of water. Instead of soap
as a sticker f1our-paste is sometimes
used. Sulphur may be mixed with
paste and added to weak sulphur
lime. Simply busting sulphur into
the trees is effective in summer
time.
Blackleaf tobacco extract is very
dependable. It may be used one
part to seventy five, or the stronger
Blackleaf 40 may be mixed one to
eight hundred of water. It would
be we'll to add this to the whaleoil
soap and sulphur spray. A simple
treatment that often proves entirely
effective is to turn garden hose on
the infested plants. Where this is
impossible stream from the spray
pump may be employed.

house, sulphur is commonly placed
on the heating pipes. The fumes
