WOMENS CLUBS FEARED CENSURE
OF AN ADDRESS ON BIRTH CONTROL
If Mrs Margaret Sanger Had Spoken Subject Public
Might Have Believed Federation Had Endorsed
Her Teachings Convention Leaders Say

Women high in the councils OF the Penn
sylvana State Federation of Womens
Clubs explained today why the address
scheduled by the program committee intro
ducing Mrs. Margaret Sanger, New YORK
advocate OF birth control was Cancelled last
night and many women left the hall during
the address by DR.. II. TAFT Mackenzie at
the Drexel Institute.
Scores of women, unaware that Mrs
Sanger's talk had been Cancelled, went
from all parts of Philadelphia last night
TO Drexel Institute to find on the plat
form in her stead a Philadelphian, Doctor
Mackenzie, who had filled in TO prevent en-
barrassment for the hostesses who are en-
tertaining hundreds of delegates to the
convention.
Mrs. Edgar Marburg, president OF the
Philomusian Club this morning at the fed
Grafton meeting. gave the women "a little
lecture" for leaving the hall last night with
out mentioning the absence Of the scheduled
speaker and praised Doctor Mackenzie for
substituting. saying, He did 1t because he
was such perfect gentleman"
NOT READY TO TAKE STAND
Mrs Ronald p. Gleason, state president
of the organization, who attended the ex-
ecutive session of the executive board which
sent the ultimatum to Mrs. Sanger that
she must not talk on birth control II sne
appeared on the program, explained the ac-
tion OF the board
I'VE felt that II we allowed Mrs. Sanger
TO speak on birth control 1t would give
the laity and the public In general the
idea that we sanctioned her teachings We
feel we are not ready to take any stand.
We did not want TO go on record in such
a manner Consequently. when we found
that she was not going to talk on the
subject Of Immigration that scheduled
for the woman whose place she was to NIL
DIR. Katherine Bement Davis. New York,
we asked her what the subject OF her talk
was to be. We asked her TO omit all ref
erence TO birth control She refused ana
the talk was Cancelled"
Mrs Gleason had nothing to say about
the opinions of the members of the board,
who Cancelled the speech. for II was done
in executive session. She will not say II
the matter caused discussion or split In
the board.
Mrs. II. c. Boden, ex-president OF the
Philomusian Club. and member Of the
present executive board of the State Fed

covered the subject of the lecture which
Mrs. Sanger planned to give Moral and

POULTRY MANURE TAKES PLACE
OF HIGH PRICED FERTILIZERS

An important by-product Of tne
poultry business which is seldom coll
sidered seriously is poultry manure.
Tho value OF this product is of spec
ial Importance this year because OF
the high price of chemical fertilizers,
and all poultry Keepers should make
every effort 10 conserve this vast
amount of rertiizing material which
is frequently more than half wasted.
It has been estimated that the void
ings of an average hen for one year
weigh approximately fifty pounds.
One hundred pounds cf poultry ma
nure properly handled contains s OF
a pound of organic nitrogen. = of q.
pound of phospboric acid. aud % of
a pound of potash At the present
price of these fertili2ing materials III

one hen in one year are worth more
than fifty cents. Therefore, The
poultryman with hundred hens has
a sure income from his hens of 500
whether they lay any eggs or not, II
he goes to the trouble of caring for
his poultry manure properly. Poul-
Try manure contains more nitrogen
than any other farm manure, be
cause in birds the eXcretion of the
kidneys remains With the undigested
portions of the food. This form of
nitrogen is very readily available to
plants, but unfortunately is not staple

third to one-half Of the nitrogen
passes off as ammonia gas.
1t is frequently recommended that
stable manure be spread directly
upon the ground in order to prevent
the nitrogen from burning off This
method however. is not practical in
the handling of poultry manure be-

THE conclusion reached by the New
York State experiment station rela-
tive to the advisability of ringing
fruit trees to stimulate bearing is that
the practice is not advisable for gen
eral recommendation. Under some
conditions for a limited time some
favorable results might be expected.
Hardy, vigorous young apple trees
may readily undergo q single ringing
and be benefited thereby, but second
operations are injurious. Trees lack
ing vigor are often injured by this
practice. The gains received from
this practice do not, as q rule, offset
the losses. Ringing is very seldom
recommended for stone fruits, as such
trees usually come into bearing carrier
than apples, and pears are not as
hardy and are less resistant to ex-
ternal injuries. The experiment sta
ton found that of the apples, Bald
win trees suffered most from TINS
practice and were the least benefited;

results, in order to get increased

seven or eight hens TO use II at one
time. This will provide another
activity for the fowls during the
winter.
The morning ration for the hens
should be fed very sparingly, par
ticularly in extreme cold weather
when it will be wise TO feed once or
twice some of the grain during the
day-just a few handfuls scattered
well in the litter of palatable, whole

more activity for them, when they
are prone to stand about in the cor
ners Although green-cut bone is too
expensive to feed regularly, that Will
be another incentive for a great deal
of exercise on the part Of the fowls
for extra cold days. The feeding OF
sour milk at intervals curing llle ddS

Birds that are handled in this way

"RINGING'' FRUIT TREES NOT
4 ADVISABLE FOR GENERAL USE

weight in the clusters Of grapes.
The theory of ringing is that the
ring of bark from the tree trunk or
plant stem is removed at some time
in the season in such a way as not to
seriously interfere with the upward
circulation through the section oil
growing new wood, but does prevent
the downward flow of sap, which, with
plant food forms in the leaves. Thus
the food for the whole plant, includ-
ing the lower stem and roots. is con-
centrated in the section above the
limb. and should, and does, serve as
a. stimulus to the formation and de-
velopment of fruit buds. and in the
case of grapes into larger fruit in the
clusters.
The results of the New York eX-
periments show that crops in succeed
ing wears are oftentimes injured, and
in many cases trees die as result OF
this practice when it was repeated
two or more times. The net results
from the practice, therefore, would
seem to discourage people from tax
ing an interest in this method of in
ducing fruitfulness.
