POTATO SEED TREATING,
WILL Be DEMONSTRATED
Arrangements G omple$ed for
Week of Demonstrations in
This County Next Month

The farm bureau has arranged to
cooperate with R. c. Rose, extension
pathologist of the agricultural extern
sion division, in working out definite
plans for potato Improvement in Bel
tralni county Special effort will be
made along the lines OF disease con-
troll and that chiefly, through the
maintaining Of AJseed plot by. a lin
tied number Of TIE farm co-operat-
ors. The seed plot gives the farmer
opportunity to concentrate his eff
forts on a small area, thus enabling
him to maintain stock healthier,
more vigorous than would be pos
sible over large area with the same
effort. The new ruling adopted by
the State Board of Potato Inspection
and tCertification requires that such
a plot be maintained by everyone
growing certified seed.
Arrangements have been complet-
ed for a week of seed treating DEM
constructions to be held at various
points in the county during the last
week of April. At these meetings at
tention will be given to an explana-
ton of the seed plot, it's value and
how maintained. Actual demonstra-
tons Of seed treatment with corro-
sive sublimate viii be staged at each
place to encourage more general use
Of this treatment, and hence more
complete control of disease Demon
stration plots will be chosen in each
community and records kept through
out the season. These records will
be summarized at the end of the sea-
son and published, and will show the
value of the work in increased yields,
improvement Of type uniformity,
freedom from disease, etc. Several
communities have already applied for
one Of these demonstrations. Pref
erence will be given those making
application.

Revenue Legislation May Not

(By United Press)

Washington, March %. (By Ralph
| II. Turner. "A drive upon congress
in the interests Of farmer relief leg
islation may be started coincident-
ally with the opening of the special
session on April IL, it was learned
today.
On that date delegations from all
states will come here for the execu-
tive meeting Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, representing
million and half farmers.
| The house ways and means COM
mittee has started laying a perman-
ent tariff law in accordance with
program of congressional leaders ap-
proved by President Harding. This
program is a farmers victory.
| 1t contemplates passage OF the
Fordney emergency tariff In the same
form as planned by, President Will
son except that 1t will be limited to
six tbs. Next In order Is an
antidumping bill and measure pass
ing import tax on American inter-
state or foreign values and then per-
manent tariff revision followed by
revenue revision. While the Ford
ney anti dumping and valuation bills
are all emergencies, measures are be-
ing passed. The ways and means
committee will lay permanent
tariff and the senate finance commit
tee will hold all revenue revision.
This program will encounter DEM
ocratic and perhaps some republican
opposition, creating a doubt as to
whether it can be carried out. De-
! spite the fact that the, republicans
hope to show unusual speed, 1t Is
doubtful whether revenue legislation
can be reached before December.
Washington, March 2.-T he
Fordney emergency tariff bill, pre-
cisely as vetoed by former President
Wilson, will be rushed through con-
gress as the first important legisla-
ton Of the extra session.
AcceCling to the request Of Presi-
dent Harding for passage of a feat
ure designed to help the farmers,
asking for protection against foreign
competition, republicans Of the house
ways and means committee turned
about yesterday and voted to revive
the Fordney bill after agreeing al
most unanimously week ago not to
consider any emergency legislation
ahead OF permanent tariff and rev.
enue revision.
