VERSATILE MRS. BASS
AND HER COW

Being national chairman of the
Democratic women might take all of
some women's time, but what do you
think Mrs. George Bass has been doing
between meetings and speechs? Max
ing pantalettes for her pet cow!
! Fashioned Of burlap, tied at the
bottom of the legs and hooked over
Do1ly's backbones, the pantalettes
were designed to keep the flies off
Dolly. And why wouldn't they?
The week before Mrs. Bass left
for SanFrancisco, where she was gen.
eralissimo of the Democratic women's
political activities, she visited her
farm at Manitowoc, Wis. She was
met with the news that Dolly wasn't
doing very well, gave little or no milk
and was a nervous wreck, because of
the flies.
Mrs. Bass, who in her political ex-
perience has learned to produce a
panacea 70 rail- troubles, hurried to
look at Dolly, rushed off to buy bur
lap, and taking one width for each
leg, she stitched up the pantalettes
for the cow. Strings we're attached so
the garment could be tied about the
cows's body.
The back had to be covered SO, as
the versatile Mrs. Bass tells it, 81
just took a straight piece of burlap,
shaped it little and tied that on,
and Dolly was a picture no artist
could paint, but at least comfort
able cow"
Mrs Bass admitted that politics, es-
pecially during the oncoming cam
paign, is interfering with her farm
ing.

PLANS TO RETIRE
BIG PERCENTAGE
OF COTTON CROP
PRESIDENT WANNAMAKER MAPS
PROGRAM OF ACTION FOR
BIG MEETING

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 22.-J. -Skot-
towe Wannamaker, president of the
American Cotton Association, out
lined the program of action which he
will ask the big cotton meeting to
be held in Columbia to adopt. Every
other state in the cotton belt win be
asked to follow suit.
The Program calls for the formation
Of an export trading corporation with
a capital stock Of one million bales Of
cotton. All stock is to be paid in cot
ton, which amounts to the retirement
of 25 per cent of the growing crop
from the market, a most drastic reduc
ton in the acreage of the 1921 crop
The adoption of plan Of cooperative
marketing, prohibition of the importa
ton of Oriental oils and taking OF
steps looking to legislation require
ing tina tall cotton be classel upon
American classification also is urged
The melting in Columbia promises
to be one of the most largely attend
ed cotton meetings ever held in the
South and definite, concrete program
of action to be followed by the people
of the South in their fight for a fair
price for their cotton will be adopted
Mr.. Wannamaker said that he would
submit the following recommendations
to each state division:
Formation of an export trading cor
poration for the purpose of trading in
Europe the stock of which is to be
paid in cotton.

ducing states takes its proportionate
share. South Carolina raises approx
ma.ely one-twelfth of the cotton crop.
Her share of this stock would there
fore be between 1900 and 5000 bales
of cotton. Central Europe is in des-
perate need of cotton and this is the
only possible way we can get cotton
into Central Europe. Every bale Of
cotton we remove from the market will
increase the value of the remaining

SUFFRAGE AND A
"WoMAN OVER 81"

Miss Rose Young of the former Ma
tional American Women's Suffrage as
sociation-now the League of Women
Voters-says a woman's age is en-
tirely her own affair, so much so
that even Uncle Sam should keep
hands off. This opinion is expressed
following the refusal of Mrs. Helen
Hill McCarter of Kansas City to state
her exact aage at the registration
polls, and her statement that she al
So would fight to make it possible for
women voters to give their ages as
more than twenty-one."
Mrs. McCarter, who is a political
leader in the middle West, was a dele
gate from Kanss. Hers was the
honor of addressing the Republican
national convention.
There are two good reasons why
men and women should not be re-
CURED to give their age at the polls,
says Miss Young. The first is that
any woman's age is a personal matter
''The other reason why voters should
be allowed to say merely that they are
more than twenty-one purely CONNER
cial. It cannot but be a commercial
detriment to man or woman to be
obliged to unearth long procession
of years and to allow age instead of
real capacity to usurp identity"
Kansas officials are said to have
stated that unless Mrs. McCarter con-
fides her precise number of years to
the registration clerk, she will not be
allowed to cast her ballot in Novem-
Der.

state to appoint committee of its
most able men from its agricultural
and commercial life, numbering among
these its able financiers, for the pur-
pose of jointly meeting with repres-
entatives from every state for con.
ference with representatives of the
governors of tn federal reserve bank
ing systm and representatives of vari-
Gus of the leading financial institu-
lions of the country so that arrange
ments can be made for financing this
crop.
81 shall earnestly recommend the
adoption of plan of cooperation mar
keting as prepared by a committee OF
experts representing every state in the
belt. / shall also urge that steps be
takn to have measures put into eff
feet to stop the importatio nof Oriental
oils. These oils are largely unfit for
human food and come in competition
with ccttonseed oil and enable the
coolie Iaborer of the tropics to compete
q nequal terms with the American
farmer.
"Other recommendations" said Mr..
Wannamaker, will include legislation
looking to the collection OF 10 cents
per bale at the gin for putting into
effect and force economic reforms in
the handling and marketing Of the
cotton crop, legislation requiring that
all cotton be cIassed upon American
classification and the fixing of a min
imum price for cotton and cottonseed."

SEASON FOR MAKING
sILAGE is HERE

/ The season for making silage is
here and C. H. Staples of the Exten-
sion Division, Louisiana State Uni
versity, offers the following timely
suggestions on this subject:
Harvesting the crop at the proper
stage of ripeness and putting it into
the silo under the most favorable con-
ditions are the most important factors
in making the best quality of silage.
"Moldy silage is perhaps source
of the greatest loss that occurs from
crops made into silage and every eff
fort should be made to prevent its
formation. Molds in silage causes
only loss in feed but are dangerous
when fed to livestock and especially
to horses and mules.
"The following precautions and meth
DDS when observed in filling the silo
will prevent in large measure the
formation of molds, dry rot, ETC., and
insure a good quality of silage.
"Cut corn for silo when the fodder
is ready to pull, the grain has past the
dough stage and has become glazed,
up to this time the plant increases in
food value and is ripe. Sorghum
should be made into silage when ripe
and the seed are in the dough stage,
which is usually when the crop is
ready for making syrup. All crops for
silage should be cut not more than
one-half inch in length, should be
evenly distributed over the silo, pack
ed well and all air excluded. The ex-
clusion Of air from all portions of the
silo is the one means that will prevent
the formation of molds.
"Over-ripe crops and weeds, hollow
Stoned plants prevent proper packing
cause insufficient moisture for pro-
per fermentation to exclude all air
and furnish favorable conditions for
the development Of molds.
where the crop used for making
sflage does not supply sufficient mois-
ture by it's juices to moisten every
particle of the silage, then sufficient
water should be added to furnish this
moisture, this is best done by spray
ing the cut material as It passes
through the blower of the cutter, where
every particle may be moistened suf-
ficiently, this emthod never gives too
much water.
Crops when cut too green for the
silo makes silage that is sour and
contains az excessive amount of acid
the silage is not palatable, does not
contain list maximum food value and a
loss is sustained
"Silage made from good corn crop
this year viii be worth from $40 to
SIS per ton, which is sufficient reason
for using every precaution and apply
ing the best methods in the making
of same.
Although corn will sell at a high
price this fall as usual, we hope that
it will not prevent any dairy farmers
from filling their silos and it should
be remembered that when the corn
crop goes into the silo not only the
grain is prepared in the best way for
feeding dairy cattle, but the stalk and
fodder is also saved, and the entire
crop is used for feeding the dairy
herd"

The collection of stereographs now at the public library are proving to be of much interest the librarian reports. Recently there have been added 210 new views, 100 of which are of the European war. The library also has 250 views of the United States and it's various points of Interest such as the Grand Canyon, Yosemite. Yellowstone, Niagara Falls and others. Beside these, there are views of 26 other countries.
 Nor are the children forgotten, for there are 75 views of animals, birds and childhood. The table containing these views is a very popular place as it is surrounded at all times by adults and children.

TELLS ROTARIAVS
 IF CAME MEASURE

Reasons why Arizonans should SUD- port initiative measure No. BOA, known as the game conservation commission bill, were explained to local Rotarians by State Game Warden Joe Procheska at the meeting last Friday noon.
 The bill, he pointed out. provides for conservation commission of five members, to be composed of the gover- nor. the attorney general the president of the Arizona Sportsmeh's association and two civilian members, to be ap- pointed by the first three. These five commissioners will serve for a period of four years and will have the ap- pointment of a state game warden un- der their jurisdiction. One of the most important features of the measure, Prochaska explained, was the plan of taking the office of state game warden out of politics.
 Prominent sportsmen of the state drafted the bill Prochaska declared, and while his office was in no way as- sociated with it's introduction, it has sthe endorsement of the state game warden's office.
 A bill of this nature, he said in con clusion, wherein game of the state will be conserved, will make Arizona a sportsmen's paradise.

DIRECTIONS FOR GOOD LAWN
Good Judgment and Much Work
Necessary, But the Results Will
Be Found Worth While.

Success or failure in lawn-making is
based on the preparation of the seed
bed. which necessarily requires great
care and good judgment. The physical
condition Of the soil may be greatly
Improved by growing some soil-build-
ing crop preparatory to seeding. The
land should be turned and sub-soiled
to a depth of 6 to II inches, and
narrowed until 1t is thoroughly pulver-
lied. Before turning, q liberal appli-
cations g to 10 tons per acre. of
well-decomposed stable manure and
800 pounds of lime should be applied
When perfect seed bed has been
made, apply 600 to 500 pounds of
S-4-4 commercial fertilizer and harrow
thoroughly into the first few inches of
soil.
The lawn grasses should be careful
ly selected, and only those grasses or
mixtures used that are adapted to that
locality and are capable of making a
good sod under existing conditions. A
mixture of Kentucky blue grass, Ber-
muda, and white clover Is especially
suitable to the partially shaded lawn,
the blue grass predominating in the
shaded portions of the lawn and the
Bermuda in the sunny spots while the
clover keeps the entire lawn green
throughout the winter.
The mixture should be planted dur
ing early October, using 30 to 35
pounds of blue grass, four to five
pounds of clover, and proportionate
amount of Bermuda roots per acre.
The seeding of the blue grass and
clover should follow the planting of
the Bermuda, which should be planted
in rows Is inches apart, dropping the
roots II to Is inches apart and cover
ing three to five inches deep with al
ternating rows. Separate sowlngs of
blue grass and clover should be made,
sowing the seed broadcast by hand or
by use of mechanical seeder. The
seed should be covered lightly, brush
ing lightly or raking into the soil, and
this followed by light rolling.

CuItivatinu the Manuo.

The office of foreign seed and plant
introduction of the United States de-
partment of agriculture has assembled,
through the work of it's explorers and
through exchange with the British
East Indian departments of agricul-
ture, one of the largest collections of
selected mango varieties in the world
There are now fruiting at the plant
introduction field station, Miami, Fla,
about twenty varieties this year, and
these represent the selections from
more than seventy sorts of this great
fruit. Some of these have scarcely
more fiber in them than a freestone
peach and can be cut open lengthwise
and eaten as easily with a spoon as a
Rocky Ford cantaloupe. They have
an indescribably agreeable aroma rem
iniscent of pineapples. The mango
tree, when it is in bearing, is a gor-
geous sight, for it is long-lived tree
and the gOlden-yellow fruits as they
hang in great clusters from the dark
green foliage make one of the great
tropical plant sights Of the world.

WRONG TO CARRY A "ROLL"
Too Much Money Is Kept Out of Cir
cuIation Because of Currency
in the Pockets.

That extra wad of bills the average
man carries in his hip pocket is a
detriment to the national credit and a
direct instigator of crime, according to
J. III. Tregoe, secretary-treasurer of the
National Association of Credit Men
and formerly leader in the CONNER
cial life of Baltimore.
This opinion is agreed to by Secre-
tary Morningstar, of the Credit Mems
Association of Baltimore.
Scores of millions of dollars, If not
hundreds of millions, are estimated as
being carried needlessly in the pockets
of American citizens and willie in the
pocket the money is as definitely with
drawn from circulation as If 1t were
in the old sock or under the loose
brick in the hearth where the motion

boarded gold.

The workingman is factor in the
present-day situation, according to Mr..
Morningstar.
'It is not only the rich man who
carries large amount of cash on his
person." he said. "TEe workingman
today has money and he carries 1t
with him. Just recall a few of the
tales you have read about working
