One Of the big problems that extern
sion workers are giving their attention
to this year is saving soil, according to
extension specialists of the United
State Department of Agriculture. In
many sections of the Central and Yves
tern states every effort is being made
by extension workers to prevent wash
ing and erosion of soil by building
dams or placing brush heaps in gullies.
A representative Of the department,
who returned recently from southwest
tern Nebraska gives the following as
an example Of what is being done
there:
In April, 1920, county agent assist
ed in building 10 small brush dams in
O. large ditch on farm where large
amounts of fertile soil were being
washed away. BY March of this year
the ditch was filed with soil. Follow
ing this demonstration many farmers
in the neighborhood, who had beef
watching the outcome Of the soil-saF-
ing work, built bush dams in wash
outs On their farms.
The representative reports that in
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and
Indians, the exters:o workers are
holding soil-service meetings and DE-
monstrations, and farmers are being
taught to make use of soil surveys.

UNCLE DUDLEY's COLUMN
THE PREsIDENTIAL VEToEs

Z xAkS9403ACN 4S44 vo4O60 e..
Congress appropriates. the money ne
cessary for conducting the affairs Of the
government of the United States. That
money comes from the pockets Of the
people.
The president has the right to veto
an appropriation bill as whole, but he
can not veto an Objectionable item Of
expenditure in that bill and yet ap.
prove the remainder. e,s'-s. s.s,sl
Presidents are often called upon to
approve appropriation bills that contain
items of expenditure that very abnox-
ious to a great class Of the people,
items which they consider prejudicia,
to great welfare of the country as a
whole, that serve but little purpose, and
that are forced into the bill at the last
minute upon demand of some powerful
politician who has an axe to grind.
If the president disapproves the bill
because Of the one Objectionable item,
he jeopardizes the affairs of govern
ment, for without funds, the govern
ment can not function. g..
On the other hand, if he approves
any portion Of the bill, he must approve
all Of it, including the Objectionable
feature.
While we are changing our budget
system, we should advance even further
and expand the veto prerogative.
The president should not be held per
sonally responsible for conditions that
are above and beyond his control.
Beware of the fellow who is over
solicitous Of your welfare. He probably
wants wal to sell you a gold brick.

"Thirty-two quarts make one

"Thirty two quarts make one
bushel," recites Young America glibly
and positively. But the housewife
who has purchased family supplies for
years is not at all sure but that this is
one Of the many rules that have their
exceptions. Specialists Of the Bureau
of Markets, United States Department
of Agriculture, say that the heaped
bushel varies with the price Of the pro-
duct and the weight bushel varies wide
ly in different States. A bushel Of
sweet potatoes is 46 pounds in the Da-
kotas and 60 pounds in Maryland. A
bushel of tomatoes is As pounds in Ok
lahoma and 60 pounds in Virginia.. A
bushel of unshelled green peas is %
pounds in Massachusetts, and Sc pounds
in Pennsylvania. The Bureau Of Mar
kets recommends the adoption of the
"struck' bushel-the Winchester
bushel of 2,15O.42 cubic inches-as the
unit for package standards.
Walker Pilot:-For some time, there
has been noticeable activity in our
great cities on the part Of men owning
or interested in apartment houses to
"get from under.' They were willing
to sell at what seemed exceptionally
reasonable prices or trade for other
property. Evidently there was q reason
ana there surely was. The secret IS
ROW cut. The telegraph announces that
there are 5000 apartment houses III
Chicago empty. 1000 in Kansas City
and no doubt many in the Twin Cities.
The trouble is that there are so many
people cut of employment that they are
compelled to take cheaper quarters. In
other instances, tenants have doubled
up to save expense and the result is
that the apartment house owne: is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. His
taxes are higher than ever and, looking
ahead, he sees fuel at war prices. AS
a consequence, he is wiling to do most
anycn ng to shove the care and respon-
sibility upon some gro else. Evidently
the lot Of the apartment: house man is
no5 al sunshine or profit.

League Council Ignores
Protest Made by America

PARIS. Feb. 25.-The League of
Nations Council yesterday in effect
decided to ignore protests of the
United States over the approval of
mandates by proceeding to the con-
sideration of Glass B mandates.
The United States made no spec
ific protests against the Class B
mandates. but in a note to the
council Secretary Colby protested
against action without consultation
with America.
The council is expected to draft
a reply to Colby's note, including
in it the suggestion that the protest
should have been addressed to the
Allied Supreme Council. now meet
ing in London.
Merely Approves Text.
1t is expected to state that the
League of Nations Council merely
approves the text of the mandate,
while the Supreme Council does
the actual awarding.
The council this forenoon pub
lished the Colby note regarding the
award of the island of Yap to ia
pan, but thus far has withheld
Colby's correspondence with Great
Britain in regard to Mesopotamia
Officially there was no comment,
but individual delegates were in
elined to the opinion that the
United States had forfeited her
rights under the Versailles treaty
by her formal withdrawal from as
sociatfon Of the powers and her re-
fusal to enter the league.
American Member Desired,
Nevertheless there was a senti-
ment among the delegates in favor
OF having an American made a
