Of last year in memory of Mrs. Per-
cival Dodge, late wife of the Ameri-
can Minister to the kingdom of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, who,
during her short visit home in De-
cember, was accidentally killed in
the elevator at the home of her
parents, Admiral and Mrs. Adams, in
Sixteenth street. The sad event
cast a gloom over Washington So
ciety on the eve of the new year.
1T was felt by the members of her
family and her friends that the
most fitting tribute to her memory
would be making Of garments for
children, to be sent to the Ameri-
can legation in Belgrade, where
they will be distributed by her
daughter, Miss Alice Dodge. a young
girl of I6, who has courageousIy
taken the head of her fathers
household since her mothers death.

BILLS OF IMPORTANCE TO FARM.

hers will watch the progress of the
bills for collective bargaining and
bonded warehouses. recently introduc-
ed in the legislature, with keen inter-
est.
II these two bills can be passed as
drawn it will clear the way in Iowa
for broad general plan OF market
ing farm products in manner more
businesslike and orderly than the pres
ent system, something along the
line recommended by the Committee
of Seventeen.
These two bills are companion meas
ures. being closely related and de-
pendent upon each other for support
and In their probable influence upon
marketing conditions in the future
The first would authorize producers
OF agricultural products grain, live
stock. fruits, dairy, etc..-to associate
themselves collectively for business
purposes and to make agreements and
contracts. 1t would give the right to
impose penalties for breach of con-
tract between an association and its
members, and it also carries strict pro-
visions for dealing with attempts at
profiteering or unfairly exploiting the
public.

! Delaware Co. Farm Bureau

Z
Under the provisions OF the second
bill elevators and storage houses thru
out the state could be, handled and
utilized for storing grain to be car
ried on warehouse receipts. Receipts
of this kind. showing ownership Of
grain that has been inspected and
graded. would be satisfactory security
and enable the grower to do business
with this banker in case he needed
money in advance Of the sale of his
grain.
Following these bills, of course,
must come definite, systematic plan
of financing the proposition on COM
prehensive scale. and In way that
will not conflict with the Constitu-
ton Of the state. A bill covering this
very essential feature Il being drawn
and will probably be introduced in the
Legislature the first Of the week.

PRUNING GRAPES

A great deal OF interest is being
shown in the care Of grapes the past
year or two. and now is the time to
prune, before tire sap begins to flow,
When the soil is poor less bearing
wood must be used in order not to
overtax the vigor OF the vines. Black
rot is also common in this part Of
the state and this disease can be con-
trolled by arranging the canes on a
trellis SO as to have good circulation
Of air. The old non-productlse wood
must be removed and the one-year
canes kept for the production Of fruit.
The weakest fruit buds ON cane are
the buds at the base and the tip,
whereas the strongest are located six
or eight buds from the base. Cut the
fruit canes back to ten buds and bull
canes to one spur for the next years
canes to grow from.

also asked to send spokesmen all with
the hopes Of developing some plan
Of immediate and friendly adjustment
of the present exhorbitaHt freight rates
that operate to keep middle west pro-
ducers out Of the eastern markets.
An early downward revision of the
rates is Of the greatest importance
to the public in general as well as to
farming interests and 1t is the hope
OF this conference that 1t will start
what everybody knows must be done,
and that soon.
