THINKS CONGRESS Will
| GRANT TEACHERS BONUS
DR.. Abram Simon Regards Pros
pect Good for $500 Emergency
Allowance.

Efforts of District public school
teachers to obtain emergency financial
relief from Congress in the form of
bonus Of $500 appear to have more
successful prospect than at any time
since the beginning Of their concerted
movement. This was the belief ex
pressed today by DR.. Abran Simon. a
member Of the board of education who
was appointed at the last meeting of the
body to ascertain from members Of
Congress the feasibility of granting
the bonus to teachers.
Since the board meeting last We'd
nesday DR.. Simon has sounded out
members of both Legislative branches
at the Capitol. Naturally. he has con-
ferred with some members who are
opposed to legislation providing the
desired financial relief. but many of
them he believes will support any
measure designed to grant the Wash
ngton teachers funds to tide them
over the summer vacation period.
Although Congress has many impor-
tant bills to act upon before the re-
cess on June 5, DR.. Simon and leaders
in the movement to obtain the bonus
for the teachers believe that some time

the question Of the bonus.
Evening star., 1920-05-26

DR.. Simon intimated today, he will
recommend that the school governing
body refrain from lobbying in Con-
gress for relief for teachers.
Things are making progress" he
said. II think the best policy is for
the board not to do any lobbying"
Leaders in the bonus campaign also
have conferred with members OF
Congress to urge early consideration
of legislation providing relief for the
teachers. The executive committee of
the movement Saturday conferred with
the. subcommittee on appropriations

will be given to the consideration of
the teachers pleas. Unless Congress
does grant the bonus. 1t has been
pointed out. hundreds of teachers will
be forced to seek employment during
the summer in Industries, due to their
present stringent financial crcum
stances.

of the school board to ascertain from
members of Congress the likelihood of
the teachers being granted the bonus

suit to the board. With his report,

MANY GARDEN CROPS
ATTACKED BY PESTS
Rotation Is Recommended as One
of the Best Remedies.
Exposing insects to Unfavorable Tenn
perature Changes and to Attacks
of Birds Helps Materially
Observe Sanitation.

(By JAMES G. MOORE, Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture.)
Practically all garden crops are at
tackled during their development by
one or more pests. These pests are
ordinarily classified IS disease or in
sect. The greater struggle on the part
of the gardener usually has to be
waged against insects.
Frequently the seriousness of the
attack is due TO neglect on the part
of the gardener TO follow some of the
simple practices which tend to reduce
the danger to the minimum.
One of the first things for the gar
dener to observe is garden SANTA
ton" Frequently garden pests both
insect and disease, are carried over
on the waste material of the previous
seasons crop. While working refuse
material into the soil is commonly
recommended, one should be sure that
in so doing he is not inviting trouble
for next season by providing pest
TO be controlled. Burn leaves and
stems or other refuse if there is the
least suspicion of its being q source
Of infestation.
Rotation of crops is one of the best
methods of avoiding pests in ordinary
farm operations. In the case of those
insects which pass the winter in the
upper layer of soil, fall tillage, which
exposes the pest TO the unfavorable
temperature changes and TO the at
lacks of birds, helps materially.
Another sanitation measure is the
removal from the garden or immed!
ate vicinity of weeds or other plant:
upon which garden insects may feed
Very frequently there would be NJ
serious trouble from n particular in
sect if its presence had not been en-
couraged by such plants.
