EFFECT OF STRAW ON SOIL.

Washington State College.-The eff
feet of straw on the soil, subject
especially interesting to the Palouse
farmer, is the subject of paper by
I. j. Murray, formerly bacteriologist
Of the Experiment Station of the
State College of Washington, just
published in "Soil Science" national
journal.
Why the addition of considerable
quantities Of straw have a harmful eff.
feet on the crop Immediately follow
ing is demonstrated by Mr.. Murray.
This effect is due to the changing of
nitrogen from an available to a non
available form in the soil. The more
straw applied the more rapidly the
change occurs from available to non
available nitrogen; and nitrogen is
known to be vital requisite for crop
growth. With time, however, nom
available nitrogen again becomes
available.
Farmers desiring copies of the pa
pei may have them by writing to

the Experiment Station, Pullman.

Nine boarder cows were butchered

production, it was found they aver

had an average production from the

ATTEMPT TO INJECT
POLITICS IN LAND CHOICE
FOR SOLDIERS, is CLAIM.

. Seattle, Oct. 12.-Attempted revis-
ioi. of the list of projects which have
been under consideration for the last
two months for a community settle
ment for soldiers, under the 100000
made available from state reclama-
ton funds, announced this week
from Spokane, is declared by Henry
A. Wise, State Adjutant of the
American Legion, to be barefaced
attempt to inject politics into the is
sue. 1t is evident that politicians ara
attempting to have land near Spokane
selected for the settlement expert
ment, even if the choice is detrimental
to the best interest of Washington
veterans, said Mr.. Wise today.
The state executive committee #
the American Legion, in session here
or October l, recommended the
White Bluffs-Hanford project as the
best one for veterans, under all con
ditions, and named the Manson pro-
ject on Lake Chelan as second choice.
This action was taken after state
land settlement committee appointed
ty the American Legion, at request of
state officials, had spent six weeks
in careful investigation of the II
projects formerly under consideration
and had made detailed report to the
executive committee for consideration
and recommendation by the govern
ing body.
Action taken 1T Spokane, in at
tempting to add tracts to the projects,
and reopen the whole question, Mr.
Wise said is looked upon as purel;'
political interference by members OF
the state land settlement committee
of the Legion, and by a majority of
the executive committee members.
"The American Legion investiga.
ton, upon request of the state, was
made primarily and wholly with the
idea of selecting the project for
recommendation which would insure
the success of the veterans with the
least possible cost, and in the shortest
length of time" the State Adjutant
said. "The property near Spokane
requires twice the expenditure of
these recommended on the part of the
veteran. 1t will be 1928 before the
Spokane land will produce a crop.
The growing season near Spokane is
cle-third shorter on account CT
frosts.
Zone thing which appears in the
new move move to reopen the ques-
ton is that Charles Hebbard, chair
man of the Republican state central
committee lives in Spokane, and that
Carl l.. Snuff, former secretary to
Governor Hart appears to be interest
ing himself in the matter" Mr.. Wise
said.
"Of course the Legion executive
committee acted in a purely advisory
capacity in its Investigations and
recommendations" Mr.. Wise said.
"The Legion, however, means to fight
fer square deal for the veteran in
every instance, and will not sit idly by
and see the best interests of the for
mer soldier set aside for political
reasons"
Final decision in the matter has
been left to Dan A. Scott, director of
conservation and development, by
Governor Hart, Legion officials were
informed when they made inquiry in
Olympia at the Governors office. A
decision is not expected before the
first of next month.

AVOID DODDER INFESTATION
Farmer Should Use Plants Known to
Be Immune to Attacks Of
Pestiferous Weed.

The necessity of selecting plants
immune to dOdder infeStatiOn when
cultivating newly cleared land was
emphasized by a report which recently
reached the United States Department
Of Agriculture concerning the destruc-
ton Of an entire field Of eggplant on a
newly cleared field In Pennsylvania.
So bad was the infestation that not a
single fruit was formed on the para
sitized plants and the entire field was
destroyed. The dOdder was determined
as hazel dOdder, q species not I'M
common on hazel and other wild
shrubs and on tick trefoil and other
wild herbs. but w previously re-
ported on cultivated plants. The de-
partment recommends that on land
known to contain the seeds of dodder,
farmers should use plants which are
immune to attacks Of the pest. The
following plants are not susceptible
to injury by dOdder; corn, soy beans,
velvet beans, cOwpeas, and small
grains such as oats, wheat, and rye.
Potatoes and buckwheat, crops
commonly used on newly cleared land,
are not very likely to be injured by
dodder, but truck crops should not
be planted on land known to contain
dodder seeds.

Must Not Wear Short Skirts.

Budapest.-The women's society of

eminent to direct the police to arrest
women who appear on the streets
wearing skirts with bottom more than
% centimeterS (about 10 inches) above
the ground and to present the offend

1t is proposed by the reformers that
the police carry meter sticks with
which to measure the height of skirts
from the ground. so that there will be
no mistaken arrests.
Countess Apponyi presided at the
meeting which launched the reform
and which also voted to boycott So
cially and otherwise men who accom-

condition Is practically impossible, road
engineers recognize that all factors
which increase OF reduce the impact
Of a load are Of the utmost impor-
lance in planning highway construc-
ton and regulation.
The placing of the larger part OF
the load on the rear axle is only one Of
several factors which lead to high i'm
pact forces. In general, the in
creased speed Of the truck will in
rease the impact, hence the necessity
for keeping the operating speed within
reasonable limits. Roads kept as
smooth as possible by careful main
tenance will reduce the possibility OF
trucks %exerting impact and pressure

impact and cause less damage to
the highways than those Of hard
