Reed and Cannon
Lead Attacks on
First Food Bill
Survey and Measures for
Stimulation of Production
Opposed in Both Houses

Washington, May Reconsideration
of the governments first food bill,
providing for a survey and measures
to stimulate production, got well under
way to-day in both houses of Congress.
1t will be kept under debate almost
continuously until passed.
Speechmaking to-day was confined
largely to the opposition, vigorous if
not widespread, with Senator Reed and
former Speaker Cannon the chief OBJ
jectors.
Senator Reed declared that any law
which sought to interfere with supply
and demand was essentially wrong,
while Representative Cannon insisted
that the whole survey programme was
i'll advised and unnecessary.
Large future purchases by the Allies
were, in his opinion, Senator Reed said,
responsible for large measure in the
rapid rise Of prices. The Allies, he
said. had in all good faith bought from
100 1000, 900 to 15O,OO0,OO0 bushels for
future delivery. but there were not
enough transport facilities.
Doesn't Charge Gambling
The Allies. finding they could not get
the wheat across the seas, sold part OF
their holdings and bought more futures.
This. Senator Reed said, resulted IN
them taking virtually a control oil the
market $50. 80,
~ do not charge the Allies with gam
bling" he explained.
Senator Reed said such condition
could be remedied by negotiations be-
tween this government and the Allies.
He said another cause for the recent
advance in the price of wheat was the
statement attributed TO Herbert {.
Hoover. that -four might advance to $50
a barrel and wheat TO so bushel.
"Hoover has been worth millions OF
dollars thus far to the bulls" the Mis-
souri, Senator declared, adding that
Americans must expect to pay high
prices as long as government officials
announce to the world that 1t is about
10 starve to death. Consideration of a
flood dictator" and the boarding OF
food by housewives had helped to raise
prices also, he declared.
"We already have as good informa,,
ton as this proposed survey would
Give Mr.. Cannon said. 1--WE know the
amount of corn, wheat, oats and all
cereals which We have. We know the
amount of consumption, in a general
way. We know what our exports Will
be. What would a survey be worth
II would give employment to a. good
number of people
Cannons Motion Fails
| Mr.. Cannon made an unsuccessful
effort to have stricken from the Dill
the section authorizing the Department
of Agriculture to conduct an investiga-
ton of the food situation. The vote
in the committee of the whole, WAS Al
to Al.

When the record of this war gard
oning comes TO be written the activi-
ties OF the American garden clubs
scattered about the country will come
in for their measure of praise. The
get-together spirit that they are ex-
hibiting shows that they are not lack
ing in "those things without which
mere fighting would be fruitless.' II

den club in your town by all means
Join il. lend your gardening support TO
its various activities and be ready TO
contribute your bit of money to its
purposes. The garden club is one Of
the greatest influences for community
betterment existing in American sub
urbs, lifting them from the position
of jocular scorn in which they have
hitherto been held by city jewellers.
OF the so-called tender vegetables,
peppers and elephants are among the
best for the home garden. Both
should be started early in the season
under glass so that they will be ready

If for any reason you did not do this
il may be possible for you to buy
strong. well-developed plants from
some farmer or truck-gardener. Do
not plant them out. however, until all
danger of frost is past.
Peppers should be planted IN hills
fifteen inches apart in tho row, with
twenty -four inches between the rows
TO allow for the necessary cultivation.

vania. won fight against giving the
department blanket authority TO sum
mon witnesses from any point IN w
United States. Chairman Lever OF INT
Agricultural Committee agreed 10 an
amendment giving witnesses the rleht
TO refuse to testify at point more
than 300 miles from home.
An amendment by Representative
Moore. Of Pennsylvania, prohibiting the
employment by the government OF any
one who has been connected with an
organization that has violated the anti
trust laws of the United States, was
also adopted. II is aimed at certain
organizations which have offered their
services to the government.
Indications tonight were that the
House might finish consideration OF It's
bill tomorrow. Prospects OF hnal &C
ton in the Senate were uncertain.
Senator Walsh gave notice to-day
that he would move TO strike from the
bill the section giving the Secretary OF
Agriculture an appropriation to pur-
chase seed and sell to the farmers AT
cost when in his judgment 1t is neces-
sary. Various amendments are being
prepared by other Senator'S.
During the debate Senator Sherman
criticised the Council of National De-
fence for directing certain products to
be given preferential shipments by the
railroads. and declared other industries
were suffering, mentioning the cement
business. He charged the high prices
of wheat in part to the inability to get
cars

RAISE YOUR BIT!
Bv Richardson Wright, Editor Of House and Garden

A warm. light soil containing plenty Of
humus is the best for them, and each
of the hills before planting should be
enriched with fertilizer. As the plants
develop the earth should be worked up
around them a little so as TO protect
them against breakage during wind
storms or under the weight OF their
own fruit. Nitrate of soda is a good
top dressing to use. Keep the sur
face of tie ground well stirred, for
reasons already explained in this
Raise Your Bit" series.
The pepper which we use as a vege-
table is of the type which turns red
at maturity. The fruits which we are
interested in growing for table use are
merely unrpened and therefore green
in color. or the large fruited varieties
Ruby King is a good sort. For the
smaller kind Coral Gem Bouquet is a
standard.
Elephants call for much the same
treatment as peppers, but they should
stand twenty-four inches apart in the
row instead Of fifteen inches. They
need plenty Of water. although low
lying. naturally wet soil should be
avoided. Cutworms, against which
protective measures have already been
outlined in this series. are prone to
attack the young plants. Prompt and
thorough steps must be taken to keep
these pests in sheck.
Black Beauty is one OF the best sorts
OF egg-plants. New York Improved is
another that is well worth considering.

Memorial Day Plans
Women at Odds When Caps Fail
to Match Compilations

Nation Ready
To Mobilize
Harvest Army
Farm Labor Census First
Step in Supplying Help
for Whole Land
Recruiting in Cities
Great Force Will Be Put to
Work in Texas and
Moved North
Recruiting in Cities

Washington. May 25.-Plans for the
mobilization Of farm labor to handle
this years crops were announced To-
day by the Department OF Agriculture
The essential features OF the plans,
formulated after conference with the
Department OF Labor and state ohi-
cials, provide for state leader,
county leaders in each county, and
community leaders in each agricuit-
ural community.
The Department Of Agriculture VIII
cooperate from Washington, through
the Office Of Farm Management, with
the state organizations in devising de-
tails.
Farm Labor Census Planned
officials of the Department of Agrl-
culture say each community leader IS
to take a farm labor census in his sec
ton. He will report regarding the
number Of workers required by each
farmer and the available supply oil
labor.
As soon as this labor census has
been taken, which otficlal IS declare
should be a matter of only two or
three days, the community leader, ar
ter striking a balance between the De,
mand and supply in his section, VIII
report to the county director, ana so
TO the state and Federal authorities.
Officials Of the Department OF Agrl-
culture point out that the plan pro-
vides for the solution of local labor
problems by the community leader, as
far as that is possible. In cases where
interstate transportation of harvest la
borers is necessary the Department OF
Labor will cooperate.
Getting Workers in Cities
With this in view, the Department Of
Labor is making census OF available
farm labor in all large cities. A par
ticuiar effort is being made TO enroll
retired farmers, rejected applicants Tor
appointment as reserve officers, men
rejected on examination by military
officials, women, students, Boy Scouts,
industrial employees who may be spared
from their regular duties during the
harvest season and city residents VINO
desire a farm vacation.
The Department of Agriculture, 1T is
said, will utilize to a considerable ex-
tent the scheme of moving regular har-
vest crews from place to place during
the season. Large numbers Of men are
volunteering to work for a period OF
three months or more, it is stated. AS
many of these as can be used will be
started in Texas about June ! and
moved northward as far as North Da-
kota, where the harvest season closes
about September 10.
Officials predict that the farm labor
mobilization plan will be economical OF
labor and will meet all needs with a
minimum of industrial disturbance.

HERE'S TIP ROW
TO DRESS BABY
EVERYTHING EXPLAINED FROM
KIND OF GARMENTS TO USE
OF SAFETY PINS.
Wrap Him Up Like Loaf of Bread,
One Valuable Hint.

1t very often happens that the
father is called upon to dress the
baby. Sometimes he responds. In
such cases it is as well to know the
ground plan of "the little stranger"
and the combinations whereby the
various articles of clothing are made
to adhere.
In the first place, there is the
basic upper garment, or band"
This is slipped on over the head
like a shirt. In order to accom-
plish this hold the child between the
knees (your knees), wad the band up
so that the hole for the neck is on
top.
Then quickly slip it over the babys
head. You will then find that it is
the arm-hole through which the head
has been inserted which is obviously
wrong. Take it off and try it again.
This time it will be the other armhole
that is the lucky aperture.
This leaves only one other chance,
and you can easily make it three.
Inserting the arms in the arm-holes
is more difficult than inserting the
head in the arm-holes, but if you
can do it without causing the baby
to choke you may count yourself
lucky. Then pull the band down
snugly in front and back and attach
it to-well, if you started from
scratch there isn't anything to at
tach it to yet.
This leads us to the basic under
garment. You will find these in a pile
on top of the baby's basket. Select
one, and. taking it by the upper cor
ners with the thumbs and four fing-
ers, fold it into the approximate
shape of triangle. This will not
look right. In fact. it will not be
right.
The next thing to do is to unfold
it, and refold it into the approximate
shape OF paper soldiers hat. This
will look even worse. You may then
fold it into any shape that strikes
your fancy. They will all be wrong.
Then take the cloth and spread it
out on the bed.
Pull the baby from the laundry
hamper into which he has fallen in
the meantime and lay him on the
cloth, about in the middle. Wrap
him up in it like a loaf of bread
When all the cloth has been used
up and the ends tucked in look for
the safety pins. You will see them on
the table across the room. Insert
them at random. pinning the child to
the bedspread. This will hold him
safe until you can get his mother.

REINDEER AS MEAT SUPPLY
Secretary Lane Urges Wider Use Of
Venison by People.

Reindeer meat to combat the reign
of dear meat is suggested by Secre-
tary Lane of the Department of the
Interior, who is strong believer in
the future of the reindeer industry Of
Alaska
Right here at the gates of America,
the Secretary points out, is new
source of supply, demanding recogni-
ton, with rapidly multiplying herds.
which will in time develop into one
if the most important sources Of the
meat supply of the United States.
Secretary Lane believes.
He expects that the phenomenal
growth of the Alaskan herds will con-
TIME in the future as it has in the
past, and that. with the improved
transportation facilities resulting
from the completion of the new Gov
ernment railroad. reindeer venison
will occupy a conspicuous place on
the american dinner table of the fu-
ture.
