MANURING IN COLD WEATHER
Particularly Advisable to Make Appli- cation in Winter, Says Pur-
 due University.

The Purdue university extension de- partment particularly advises applica- tion of manure in winter when it con- tains a great amount of straw and un- decomposed matter. The loss of plant food because of the teaching of the manure will be offset by the advan- tages of winter application As far as possible coarser manures should be applied to the heavier clay soils, since these will respond in fertility and will be made more mellow and porous.

Re-enacted Alien Exclusion
Act Gives Authorities
More Power.

Washington. June 22.--Armed with
broadened powers provided in the re-
cent enacted alien exclusion act, de-
partment of justice officials today an
nounced new drive against radical
ism.
Orders have been issued. officials
said, for strict watch on the activi
ties of those who preach radical doc
trineE or assist in spreading such
theories, while themselves refraining
from actual anarchistic activities.
1.-The theoretical red" and the par
lor bolshevik" are to be especial OBJ
jects Of the campaign, it was said.
Provisions of the new act have great
ly widened the scope of the depart
ment's power to rid the country of
aliens who stir up discomfort with
guarded revolutionary doctrines.
Advocacy either Of sabotage or op-
position to all organized government
by aliens or their organizations Is
sufficient to bring them within the
new law, according to the depart
iments legal authorities. Sabotage in
this connection is construed by the
department to mean Opposition to
the administration of the govern
ment' and aliens who publish writ
ings advising against organized gov
ernment-even though the United
States is excepted-are liable to de-
portation, it was said.
The financial resources Of radical
associations are being : carefully
scrutinized, officials declared, and II
