Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion Head Attacks Rank and File Veterans Leader.
INSISTS GOVT. IS
 NOT VERY HARD UP

Washington, March 5.-Differences between organizations of former Serv- ice men were aired again today be- fore the house ways and means conn mittee which is considering relief legislation. Marvin Gates Sperry, na- tional president of the Private Sol- diers and Sailors Legion, who ap- peared to urge a fiat payment of $500 to all former service men and women, charged that J. H. HaIper. a member of the legislative comittee of the Rank and File Veterans association was a socialist and communist and had tried to turn over the Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion to the communist party of New York;"
 Letters from the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Protective association of New York city asked the amalga- nation of all soldier bodies, was read by the witness, who said this organ ization was raided and it's literature dumped into the streets.
 Claims Charge Was Admitted.
 What proof have you that Halper is 8, socialism" asked Chairman Ford ney.
 He admitted it to me before wit nesses," Sperry replied.
 Only three signers are needed to
  ting the formation of a soldier organ ization with the privilege of soliciting contributions in every state, Sperry said in answer to a question by Rep resentative Treadway, republican, Mass, as to how Sperry'S organization had been incorporated.
 That's a curious provision" Rep resentative Treadway said.
 In urging the payment of lump sum of $500 to each person who serv- ed in the military or naval forces of the United States, MT. Sperry opposed proposals of representatives of other soldier organizations for adjusted compensation varying from $3o to $50 for every month of service, and said the services of 4,0O0,000 young Am orleans never could be paid by "the skimping. miserly additional compen- sation bills pending before congress-
 Regrets Haggling.''
 '"The $500 grant, he told the con- mittee, would not be paid for time at so much a day or month, but as 8 helping hand from the government to aid in restoring former service men and women to positions in civil life from which they were called, without bargain or contract without money and without price, to serve in time of need.
 "Haggling over payment by the day or month is contrary to the wishes of the American people,"
 Determinations in regard to periods of service, he added, would only cre- ate confusion, delays and favoritism and breed jealousies and bad feelings.
 The witness declared that the fund ing of $4O0,00O,00O annual interest due on foreign obligations proved that the government was not weak finan- cially and could give financial relief to all former service men,

start with wild oats and other fast

start with wild oats and other fast
growing weeds. Too much cultivation
can hardly be given the land before
seeding. The farmers who have been
markedly successful have given the
pea land the best possible preparation.
Too often, in the past, the crop has
been considered secondary one and
was put in when all other spring work
was finished. The result was, as might
be expected from any crop similarly
treated.
Some growers prefer spring plow-
ing on account of weeds and the more
mellow condition of the soil to receive
the wheat crop which is to follow the
peas. Where this practice is followed
it is essential that the soil be proper
ly packed so as to avoid drying out.
So far as yields are concerned our OBJ
little or no difference.
InnoculatiOn.
Where peas are seeded for the first
time it is very essential that the seed
be innoculated with the bacteria cap
able of utilizing the nitrogen in the
air. Unless the nodules are present
on the roots when the plants reach an
age of weeks, a full crop cannot be
expected. Pure cultures may be pur-
chased from the University of Idaho,
State College, at nominal
cost or may be secured from various
commercial firms.
Summary.
Peas have become a staple crop in
the Pa1ouse country. They are grown
as substitute for summer fal1ow
They return cash crop without re-
ducing the fertility. Fumigation of
seed and rotation of crops are neces-
sary- Innoculation is absolutely nee
assary.> To make successful returns
good cultural methods must be
Dracticed.
