Washington June 1.-After brief discussion, the House today adopted resolution providing for adjourn ment of Congress sine die Saturday next at 4 p. m., and sent it to the Sem ate, where similar action is expected by leaders probably tomorrow.
 No record vote was taken and some Democrats, opposing the resolution, were unable to force roll call. Fail ing in this, they vainly sought re- consideration, but were defeated, 129 to 52.
 Along with the formal action on the adjournment measure both Senate and House adopted speed-up programmes to clear away mass of legislation. The Senate begain it's session two hours earlier than usual and continued work tonight, as did the House.

DEMAND CAUSE OF
 GASOLINE ADVANCE.
CONDITION IN OIL TRADE IS GREATLY IMPROVED WITH RE- sPECT TO PRODUCTION AND IMPORTS.

Washington, June 1.-Recent ad- vances iii the price Of gasoline and other petroleum products were as- scribed "omre to varying conditions of suply and demand in the light of emphasized and pessimistis statements as to the future supply, than to a combination in restraint of trade" by the federal trade commission tonight in report to Congress.
 Strong demand is the primary cause of the higher prices, the commission said, adding that conditions in the ol trade now appear to be greatly improved with respect to production and imports.
 The commission said it was unable to say whether the prices of the re- fined products were "disproportion- ate" to advances in crude oil prices, and likewise impossible to report on the companes' profits for the cur rent year, though in 1919 "the profits of many of the lare oil companies whether producers, refiners or dis tributors of oil, were large"

HOW LATE TO CULTIVATE CORN

How late we shall cultivate corn must be largely determined by the circumstances. I believe there are conditions unoer which it may be safe to stop cultivation before the tas sells come out, but ordinarily I think
 ashallow cultivation may be given up until the time the tassels are fully out. Of course it is very essential that this cultivation be shallow, other wise it may do more harm than good through breaking the roots of the plants-B. L. Moss, in The Progress sive Farmer.

RESIDENT SALARY FROM TAX
.,,uA,, JUDGES ALSO WIN IN |,', ln,spT RUIING--MAJORITY OP- |sy .',,nN REQUIRRD AN HOUR FOR DELIVERY

,.-xton June 1.-Provisions of
 R .,.r revenue act requiring the
 ..;dent and all federal judges to pay
 ,s.o,ne tax on hteir salaries were
 ,.wod unconstitutional today by the
 .onoe court, in a seven-to-two de-
 son.
 ,rndar the act, the president paid
 h;s salary of $75,000 a year, ap- [.v;mately $l6,OOO in taxes. |pavenues already collected under !, invalid provision, will, under the
 ,.ps decision, be refunded by the kasury.
 rbo supreme courts decision was
 snpeals by Federal District Judge E.lter Evans of Louisville, Ky, from
 vsr courts decrees dismissing a I,t brought by him for taxes invol- htary paid. He contended that the |asral constitution prohibited judges |laries being diminished during con- huance in office"
 |Justce Van de Vanter, who render 4 the majority opinion, held that the rtion of the revenue act violated provisions prohibiting Ie diminution of such salaries. Such Etax, he argued, could be gradually creased until the entire salary was ken. The majority opinion held, swever, that federal judge was not tempt from tax on his private in- me or on his property.
 Justice oHlmes rendered a dissent ,g opinion, in which Justice Brandies incurred. He declared that no req n existed why federal judges should exempted from the income tax. The majority opinion required about 1 hour for delivery and was one of e longest rendered by the court in cent years.
