A well-cared-for "home" forest will

the comfort of the farm home, and en-
nance the value of the farm as an In
vestment, says new publication,
Forestry and the Farm Income" is
sued by the Forest Service, United
States department of agriculture.
Farm forestry, properly practiced sup
plies timber for farm needs, enables
the owner to market surplus timber
probably. furnishes employment for
men and team in winter, makes waste
land yield d profit, and increases the
sale value of the farm. Even If
land pays. says the bulletin. The time
and money saved by having tirewood,
fence posts. and material for repair
and construction conveniently at hand,
and the protection afforded the crops,
farm buildings, and stock are worth
considerably more than the slight
trouble and expense of raising and
caring for the trees.
Need Not Occupy Productive Land.
Farm woodland need not occupy
land that will grow other crops, Ii is
pointed out. On the contrary, the
trees should be located on ground too
poor to cultivate. a little care given
in the winter or at other times when
the farm work is slack will make such
land produce valuable timber. If fully
stocked with trees and well cared for,
an acre OF hardwoods should grow
from one-half to one cord Of wood
yearly. while pine should produce
from one to two cords.
The prime essential for success In
, farm forestry. the bulletin states, is
adequate protection against fires. For
est fires kill the little trees outright
and weaken full-grown ones, so that
they may become diseased or infested
with insects. Ii also destroys tie
humus cover and causes depletion of
the soil. Burning over the ground for
the purpose of improving grazing Is
characterized as an expensive mis-
take. Although II Is possible to Sc

DIPPING METHOD EXPLAINED
First Requisite for Treatment Is
Sunny Day SO That Fowls May
Dry Quickly-Has Big Ad-
vantage over busting.

There seems to be general senti-
hent among poultry raisers against
the practice of dipping fowls. This
is probably partially on account of
the fact that the dips tried have been
Of an oily or caustic nature and have
tended to soil the feathers and In
some cases injure the skin of the
fowl and give the feathers a thorough
wetting. The experience Of poultry
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture does not JUS
tify this aversion to dipping in sodi-
um-fuorid solution. The dipping
method, however. is most applicable
to the southern states and to summer
treatments in the North.
VAIN Sunny Day Necessary.
The first requisite is q rather warm,
sunny day. so that the fowls will dry
quickly. Windy weather should be
avoided. In dipping fowls as describ-
ed the feathers do not get thoroughly
wet, and If the operation is finished
an hour before shutdown the fowls
VIII become thoroughly Dry De1Ore go
ing to roost. In the rather extensive
tests made Of this method no III effect
whatever from the dipping has been
observed. AS compared with busting,
this method has an advantage in that
1t reduces considerably the cost OF
materials: is more rapidly done, and
the discontinue to the operator is
avoided. 1t is just as effective as
busting.
The lice die much more quickly fol-
lowing dipping than when sodium flu
Grid is applied in dust form. 1t APP
pears that all those which are touch
ed by the liquid die very promptly,
and the others succumb In few
hours.

cure green grass for the stock week
or two earlier in the spring by such
practice. many of the rich leguminous
plants ana annual grasses are killed,
leaving only the hardy bunch. wiry
and other coarse perennial grasses.
Discretion in Cutting Necessary,
Grazing almost inevitably causes
damage 10 the trees. Experiments
have shown that If the best results
are TO he secured stock should be ex-
cluded from the woodland. When
timber Is needed. the cutting should
be done so aS TO cause the least posi-
Bile waste of valuable wood and should
not damage other living trees. The
first trees to be cut should be the dead
or dying and deformed and diseased
specimens. which shade out healthy
trees. Less valuable kinds. such as
gray birch. aspen. blackjack oak. dog
wood, SOW wood, blue birch, ironwood.
and others, should be removed In
preference to the more valuable kind.
By following this practice the wood
land is constantly improved and It's
value Is Increased.
Preservative treatment VIII con-
siderably increase the life of timber
which is used for fence posts and 9th
er similar uses. and Is distinctly worth
while. Treatment with coal-tar creo-
sote has been found 10 he by far the
most satisfactory process.

Court, who held that reserve officers

The Secretary said that he still held
to the opinion that while any officer
W ho incurred total disability while on

believed that an officer who had
served but one year and incurred a
minor disability was not entitled to
the same treatment as a man similar

five years. He spoke particularly of
defective vision or hearing. such as
would not incapacitate a man from

The two organizations involved
were the Private Soldiers and

the World War Veterans. Among
the witnesses who took turns on the
stand, making all manner of charges
against each other, was Marvin G..

Private Soldiers and Sailors
Legion. who by his own admission
was court-martialed four times dur
ing his army service.

Another of the witnesses, S.
Lovenbein. chairman OF the Rank
and File Veterans association, who
was vehement in his denunciation of
Sperry and Martin. As backfrc
against Lovenbein the other crowd
put on George w. Boyce, a private
detective formerly with the naval in
tclligence service, who testified that
he had been under investigation by
the department of justice for dis
loyal speeches and by the postoffice
department for receiving subscrip-
tions to a soldiers paper after the
paper suspended publication.
Boyce said that he had in.
vestigated Levenbein's organization
and never had been able to find but
four men who had any connection
with it.
All of the spicy testimony of the
day was brought out as result of
the charges before the committee
earlier in the week by H. D. Halper,
former secretary of the Private Sol
diers' and Sailors Legion, but now
an associate of Lovenbein, against
Speery and Martin. Speery during
the day produced what he claimed

that account he was ousted as secre-
