sweep in the races at Saginaw Mon

miles, Bob finished in 6:13 AS while
in the open race of 10 miles, he
rounded the 20 laps in 1925 3/5.

now, at 18 contestants. The man.
agement promises some fast compe-
tition and with the fastest time he
has yet made, just behind him, Bob

FINANCES FOR FARMERS

Congressman Louis T. McFadden,
Of Pennsylvania was energetic in Sc
curing the passage through the House
of the bill permitting the Treasury to
deposit with the Federal Farm Loan
Board sum equal to the difference
between the paid-in capital stock of
the Board and $4,000, 900. At tpres-
ent the paid-in stock amounts to
about $25, 100000, so that the new
deposits contemplated in the mea-
sure would amount at first to $685.
100000 also. But every borrower
is required to subscribe for stock to
the amount of 5 per cent of his loan,
so that the paid-in stock is constantly
increasing. AS new Land Bank bonds
are fioated, and deposits from the
Treasury are returned, new deposits
will be needed in constantly lessen
ing amounts until, when the S50,000,-
600 worth of stock has all been paid
in, the Land Books will be self-sus-
tanning. Mr.. McFadden's measure is
intended to provide additional work
ing capital for the use of the Farm
Loan Board, for the need Of which
it is now sorely pressed.

GARDEN NOTES
M. A. G. Horticultural Dept.

Mildew on Rambler roses may be
controlled by dusting the plants every
few days with finely powdered sui
phur.
Better cut out and destroy all old
canes of raspberries and blackberries
soon after the fruit is all harvested.
This aids in controlling insects and
diseases and gives one an opportunity
to thin out the new shoots so that
they make a better growth and bear
more fruit the next year.
When renewing the old strawberry
bed the tops should be moved and
burned as soon as possible after the
crop is harvested. When the plants
are grown in hills it is important
after cutting the tops to draw a lit
tie fresh soil over and around the
plants to induce the formation Of
new roots above the old ones. Mat
ted row plants should be thinned by
blowing or deep cultivation each side
Of the rows leaving only a narrow
row Of plants. The remaining plants
should then be thinned by hoeing to
stand several inches apart in order
to leave fresh soil for the new run
ner plants to develop.
When setting late cabbage and
celery plants clip off about one
half of the tops to prevent willing
and loss Of plants.

The vote by wards was as follows:

of the War Department in the hand
ling of supplies. 1t was in charge
of Congressman William J. Graham,
of Illinois, the chairman of a special
committee. discriminating evidence
was collected tending to prove the
connection of officers of the Army
with transactions that defrauded the
Government of millions of dollars in
war contracts. The mass of testi-
mony was turned over to the De-
partment of Justice for suitable ac-
ton, but the former Attorney Cen
eral and Secretary of War refused to
undertake any prosecutions. Attor-
ney General Daugherty has taken
hold of the matter in different spirit
and one result has been the cancella-
ton of contract to dispose of sur
plus harness valued at from $25,-
100000 to $100,00O,OOO. Criminal
proceedings against the men involved
are contemplated. A similar case
was the purchase by the War Depart
ment of $10,000,000 worth of canned
salmon afterwards found to be rot
ten and sold back to the Gamers at a
price that enabled the INTO make a
substantial profit on the whole trans
action. Mr.. Daughtery intimates
that scores of other cases involving
huge losses to the Government will
be investigated, and he has organiz-
ed special bureau of experts for the
purpose. He hopes not only to pun
ish the criminals, but to return much
of the loot to the Treasury.
