Fort Worth. Texas, Oct. 24.-(SpeciaD
Henry n. Pope, President Of the AS
ISOLATION of Texas Farmers Union
presidents issued a statement today in
pamphlet form to- members of the I'm
ion, pointing out determinations in the
Underwood Tariff against the agricul-
tural interests and favoring protection
on all farm products. and demanding a
revision of the tariff SO that the farm
ers will not be compelled to sell in a
free market and buy in protected one.
In discussing the subject the head of
the union said:
THE effect OF the Underwood Tariff
Act is to protect capital and labor en-
gagged in manufacturing and to expose
to world competition capital and labor
engaged in production. 1t is perhaps
the most antagonistic expression con-
gress ever made toward the agricul-
tural interests of this nation and had
not the European war arrested it's
operation would have wrought disaster
to the farmers of the country.
This tariff gives a protection of ap-
proximately six billion dollars per an
mum to capital and labor engaged in
manufacturing but gives no protection
, to the farmers. When released from
war influences this tariff will reduce
the selling price of farm products ap-
proximateIy a billion dollars per an
mum. It brings capital and labor en-
ployed on the farm in direct competi-
ton with free lands in primitive coun-
tries and compels the farmers to COM
pete with wild men who live in trees
and caves and raise their children in
nakedness and ignorance.
THE only purpose and the only re-
suit Of taking agricultural products of
the protected and placing them on the
free list was to reduce the price. The
Act was, therefore. deliberately I'M
friendly to the farmers Of the nation.
The next session of Congress should
revise the tariff and get back. to the
soil with protection. giving to the pillow
the same friendly consideration that is
now given to the factory"

a clear meat soup of that kind-al-
though there is considerable merit in
such soup as the first course for din
ner because it tempts the appetite and
prepares the stomach for the digestion
Of more complicated viands.
But for most folk the soup should
be more than an appetizer 1t should
contain nourishment as we'll, and,
when the soup is nourishing it does
very we'll for a substitute for the meat
course or as the main dish for luncheon
or supper.
One of the most wholesome and ac-
ceptable ways of taking milk is in the
form Of a PURGE and there is infinite
variety by way of f1avoring for such a
soup. When you have had chicken
there is usually little gravy left, and
this added to the pieces of neck and
back that have not been served should
be simmered very slowly together for a
half an hour or more. The LIQUID
should be drained off-about a cup be-
ing sufficient if four plates of soup are
needed. Meantime a pint and a half of
milk should be brought to the boil and
thickened slightly with flour and water.
After the addition of the flour and
water the milk should be kept over the
fire for four or five minutes to cook the
starch of the flour. This done, the
chicken broth should be added, stirred
well, and seasoned with pepper and
salt.
Milk brought to the boil, thickened
with -four and water and then cooked,
may be the foundation of all sorts of
vegetable soups. and very often the
vegetables added may be those left
from previous meal. A little spinach
left from dinner, may be boiled very
tender, chopped and added to the water
in which it has boiled, and then rubbed
through a colander and added to the
milk foundation. Beans and peas,
onions, potatoes, carrots-almost any
sort of vegetables left over from an
other meal can be thus used in flavor
ing milk soup.
OF course the bones from a joint of
meat should always be saved for soup.
If you have heavy mallet the bones
should be cracked so as to free the
marrow. A ham bone is an excellent
addition to cream of split pea SOUP
and lamb and beef bones are excellent
additions to a clear tomato SOUP. There
is really no reason why the bones left
from chops and chicken at dinner
should not be used for soup-that is in
a household composed of the family
group. One rather resents the idea of
having the boarding house cook resort
to such rigid economy. though there is
no reason hygienically why this should
not be done. OF course the bones
should be used only when the meat has
been cut Off daintily and left without
being touched by the other food. The
fact that they are boiled thoroughly
would render them perfectly acceptable
as food. even though they had been
served before. They should all be
thrown into the soup kettle, simmered
gently for an hour and brought grad
ually to the boiling point. The LIQUID
poured from these bones makes SCUM
stock that is a good substitute for soup
stock made from the regular soup bone.

The wise housewife may keep her

housewife will daily throw away. With
the additional allowance of an occa-

4ions to the overseers OF the poor con-
cerned:

General conditions: Cleanliness, sup
erintendent's part, good, inmates, dirty.
Repair. the place really consists of two
houses, with a connecting shed, one to
be used for the inmates, the other for
the superintendent and his family. Both
houses show their age on the exterior:
on the interior, the superintendent
house, with the possible exception of
the floors, is in good repair; the in
terror Of the inmates house needs
much repair throughout. Furniture,
there was no furniture in the inmates
part except one old bedstead and an
old stove. The bedstead had on 1t only
m old coverlet and a straw tick. At
he time Of inspection there were no
inmates. There was one during last
winter. A member of the board of
overseers of the poor informed the in
specting officer that he understood the

the inspector was informed that he had
occupied the bed above mentioned.
Sanitation. the earth closet was badly
out Of repair and dirty.
Recommendations: That the build
ings be kept in repair, and If the place
Is to be used as an almshouse, when
occasion required that it be kept clean
and ready for occupancy. and when
there are inmates, that suitable furni-
turs and bedding be provided.

VELVET BEANS GOOD
FOR COVER CROP

Those farmers who want a cover
crop to grow among trees should
consider early velvet beans. A crop
that does not climb the trees is de-
sirable. For this reason cowpeas
are frequently used But their seed
are subject to weevi1, and several
fungous diseases injure them Then.
too, most of them are subject to root
knot.
Velvet beans are liable to few dis
eases and insect enemies, except the
caterpillar: and if early varieties
are planted early they will escape
even this. For grove planting, John
Belling, assistant botanist to the
University of Florida Experiment
Station, recommends several early
beans, The first is the Georgia
(called the 10O-day velvet beam i,
which Is a sort of the Florida and is
grown extensively in Georgia.
Planted in April or May, it pods are
ripe from August to September. It
does not climb much. Except for its
