The attitude Of the railway unions

here July to consider the boards

date.
Claiming they were hard hit by
the winter slump in business railroad
arrangements have been clamoring
for several months for lower wages
the first relief granted by the board
since It set the advanced scale more
than ten months ago.
The decision tomorrow will say
that since the 1920 wage award,
there has been a decrease in the
cost Of living" and the scale Of
wages for similar kinds OF work in
other industries has been reduced. "
These two points were the chief
contentious Of the railroads before
the board. Testimony was offered in
the hearing. which began April is
and ended May l6, to show reduc-
tions of 20 20 SO per cent in the cost
Of food and clothing. Varying re-
ductions in wages. mostly for COM
mon labor were also cited by the
carriers. The board believes" the
decisions says, that, based on the
elements shown, the decreases fixed
are justified and required"
Whatever may be said as to the
origin or contributing causess there
has been and is a marked depres-
sion in industry affecting the entire
country and some lines OF production
most seriously" The board says as
a result heavy financial losses have
been suffered. and many hundreds
OF thousands thrown out Of employ
ment and deprived OF all wages, and
this loss OF purchasing power by
them has accelerated the general de-
preston by reducing the demand for
the products they would otherwise
have purchased. While il has been
argued that the fall in prices has
not reached TO any large extent the
consumer, IL has without question
most disastrously reached and ar
fected the producers, especially some
lines of manufacture and the agri-
culture classes"

Onions require a mellow, rich soil
in fact, very few gardens are rich
enough to grow good onions without
some fertilizing. In preparing the soil
break it up with a spading fork, work
ing into the top or 4 inches of we'll

cialists of the United States Depart

high-grade commercial fertilizer should
also be spread over each square rod of

both good fertilizers for onions, but
must be used sparingly and well
mixed with the soil to prevent burn
ing the onion roots.
Require Frequent Stirring.
Onions grow very quickly and re-
qulre frequent shallow stirring Of the
surface soil. The usual method Is to
plant the "sets" in rows about Is
inches apart and 3 to inches apart
in the rows, covering them just so the
tops will be below the surface. A mar
row steel rake is a good tool for work
ing between the rows at first, but later
as the onions attain some size a wheel
hoe can be used. For the very first
working and for getting between the
individual plants in the rows there is
nothing better than a short piece Of
lath with three wire brads driven
through it at one end, making what is

AND SHE COULDN'T DENY 1T
One Time That Mr.. Hogg Scored on
the Partner of His Joys
and Sorrows.

Former Senator John w. Weeks was
lately recalling some of the happy
days of the long ago in Washington.
In those days, he said, there were
such things as bars, and his friend
Hirbutus Hogg, spent a great deal
of his time on the fringe of the GASES.
One night after an unusually long
sojourn near his favorite bar, Mr..
Hogg navigated painfully home and at
last reached mis- bedroom. Mrs. Hogg
was waiting for him.

appraisal of his condition, 81 am

1t is of little profit for a hen to sit
patiently for q days if the eggs over
which she tufts her feathers are in
fertile or if the germs in them have
died. Neither does it pay to run an
incubator for three weeks, with it's at
tendant care and expense, if the eggs
in it are not fertile.
All poultry owners who raise chicks
should be thoroughly familiar with the
method of testing eggs. An egg,
whether it is fertile or not, has a small
grayish spot, known as the germinal
spot, on the surface of the yolk. AS
soon as fertile egg is placed under
hen or in an incubator the develop
ment of the germ begins. All eggs
should be tested at least twice during
the incubation period, say poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart

BOYS SUGGESTION ALL RIGHT

What He Had Been Taught
About Electricity.

The family washing was going
through it's regular Monday electric
washer route. incidentally, the base
ment was damp, because there had
been no furnace fire.
When the lady of the house started
to wiring the clothes she found an
electric current in the water, due to
a short circuit in the motor. After
several attempts to wiring the clothes
before the current got in its work,
she was about ready to give up and
wiring them by hand.

old Harry. who knows all about Edi-
son and Franklin, "I'll bet if you put

New Windmill Idea.

A new French windmill, on the prin-
ciple of the water turbine, is encased
with a vertical cylinder bladed like a
Venetian blind. The cylinder is sta
tionary, but the blades or Stats guide
the wind from any direction to the
turbine wheel. After acting on the
wheel, the wind escapes from the bot
tom of the cylinder. The vertical
shaft transmits the power through a
succession of gears adapted to light
or strong wind, and centrifugal reg
ulator controls the speed. The appa-
ratus is designed especially for driv-
ing an electric generator.

apples and stone fruits, lime-sulphur
replaces bordeaux. On potatoes Dor

potato plant against fungous diseases,
but also prevents the burning of the

Poisoned bran bait Is the specific
remedy for cutworms. The accepted

quarts or more as needed. Mix the
bran and poison thoroughly in a dry
state, then add the diluted molasses,
and stir vigorously until thoroughly
mixed. Distribute the bran over the
infested field broadcast, taking care
to sprinkle it sparingly around each
hill. Middlings or alfalfa meal may
be substituted for bran.

those with dead germs, should then
be removed. White-shell eggs can be
tested on the fourth or fifth day,
whereas the development of eggs hav-
ing brown shells often can not be seen
by the use of the ordinary egg tester
until the seventh day.
A satisfactory homemade egg tester
or Gambler can be made with a shoe
box or any other box large enough to
hold the lamp. Cut a hole a little
larger than 25-cent piece in the side
of the box, so that when the lamp is
placed inside the box the hole in the
side will be opposite the flame. Make
hole also in the top Of the box large
enough to prevent the top from catch
ing fire from the heat of the lamp.
When the chimney is long enough, al
low it to extend through the top Of
the box. This permits the heat to es-
cape and avoids the risk of fire. Spe-
cial care should always be exercised
in using kerosene lamps in Gambling
to prevent fire. To prevent further
possibility of fire, wooden box may
be used in place Of a pasteboard one,
and, if desired, the opening through
which the chimney extends may be
lined with tin or asbestos.
Electric or gas lamps may be used
in box with hole in the same way
that the kerosene lamp is used. The
hole which is in the side of the box
should be on the same level as the
sunlight or daylight, using a shade or
curtain with a hole in it for the light
to shine through.
Testing with tester or GAMBLER
should be done in a dark room. Hold
each egg with the large end up, so that
the size Of the air cell may be seen,
as well as the condition of the embryo
or germ. An infertile egg when can
died looks perfectly clear, the same
as a fresh one; while a fertile egg
shows a dark spot known as the en-
bryo, with mass of little blood veins
radating in all directions. When the
germ is dead and the egg has been
incubated for at least 4S hours, the
blood settles away from the embryo
toward the edges Of the yolk, forming
In some cases an irregular circle of
blood, known as a blood ring. Eggs
vary in this respect, some showing
only streak Of blood.
All infertile eggs, and those with
dead germs, should be removed at the
end of the first test. Eggs with dead
germs soon decay and give off bad
odor If allowed to remain. The infer
tile eggs make good feed for young
chickens.
At the second test, on the fourteenth
day, the eggs containing strong, living
embryos will be dark and well filed
up, showing clear, sharp, distinct
line between the air cell and the grow
ing embryo, while eggs with dead
germs will show only partial develop
ment and lack this clear, distinct out
line.
The period Of incubation for hens
eggs is 81 days, but usually some of
the eggs hatch the evening of the twen-
tieth day. Sometimes 1t happens, how
ever, that the hatch will run over the
twenty-flrst day, especially during cool
weather. 8.

PLAN TO SMOTHER BINDWEED
Alfalfa Is One of Best Means of Con-
trolling Wild Morning Glory-other
Crops Useful.

Alfalfa, because of it's excellent
smothering effect and frequent cutting
II receives, is one of the best all-arOund
means of controlling bindweed wild
morning glory) in sections where
alfalfa grows well, United States
Department Of Agriculture experts
find. Cowpeas. sorghum, millet, soy
beans and buckwheat are also useful
as SmOthering crops but are rarely
as successful as alfalfa. 1t is we'll
to follow alfalfa with clean cultivated
crop, such as corn.
Hogs are fond of both the under
ground and above ground growth of
bindweed If the land is plowed it
will greatly assist the hogs in re-
moving the underground parts. Sheep
pasturing has been found helpful, but
it is not as useful a method as hog
pasturing. Grazing helps to hold bind
weed in check, but can not be de-
pended upon to secure eradication.
The use of chemicals other than salt
has not been successful except under
special conditions and is not rec
commended. Care should he exercised
to prevent the introduction of the pest
by means of % impure seed, especially
impure wheat seed; (2) manure
bindweed seed may be contained in
the drOppings or may enter manure
by the addition of bedding contain
ing bindweed seeds, and (3) thrashing
outfits, thrashing machines, unless
thoroughly cleaned, may carry the
seeds of bindweed from farm to farm.
