Schwab Advocates Economy
Economy is the keynote of quick re-
covery of business, said Charles NJ.
Schwab, chairman of the board of the
Bethlehem Steel Co.
There must be economy in labor and
above all else in transportation costs,
Mr.. Schwab declared. adding that the
steel business would profit BY the
economy to which il was forced by
business conditions.
I'VE are going to be forced to econo-
mize so as to put our business here on
basis with that of the steel business
in other countries" he explained.
Expressing belief that the money
shortage apd business depression would
end and that there would be a return
to normalcy. Mr.. Schwab continued
This is a time for encouragement, o
time to be hopeful, time to be opti
right, have never lost faith in the
future of the industry nor future OF
| America.
IndOrseS SChwabs views
The views Of Mr.. Schwab were in
,lorsed by James J. Campbell. president
of the Youngstown Sheet Tube Co., who
said railroads should have the power to
control and classify their labor.
The farmers of the country he
said. must receive more or purchase
less. Under present transportation
costs they realize very little on their
produce.
1--WE are not getting anywhere. The
slight reduction in railroad labor costs
is not enough. 7 hope. however. that
the building trades unions will see the
| light soon and railroad labor will come
10 their senses and bring down prices. y
Mr.. Gary replied that it was hardly
fair to expect labor to work for less pay
when commodities still were maintained
at q high price level.
Whether or not the railroads ar
receiving too much under the presen
rate" he added, depends upol
whether they are managing their bust
ness az well as they should and whethe
they are receiving too large net profit
In order TO justify a decrease in rate
there must be a decrease in the thing

SPRAY FOR ALFALFA WEEVIL
Increased Production Of one-Haif Ton
to Aero Secured by Application
Of Arsenate.

The county agent leader In Utah
reporting to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says the spray de-
veloped by the office of cereal and for
age insect investigations, bureau Of en-.
tomology, in the department has in
creased the production of the sprayed
over the unsprayed alfalfa fields by an
average Of one-half ton to the acre.
This spray is made of two to two and
one-half pounds Of lead arsenate or
calcium arsenate to 100 gallons Of wa.
ter. 1t is applied lp fine mist with
power sprayer at the rate of 80 to 100
gallons to the acre. The state leader
says 351 farms we're included In the
demonstration, which covered 10,113
acres. 1t Is estimated the saving ef.
fected by this form of alfalfa control
amounted to $69,967.

The excellent spirit with which live

were weaklings and deformed. For
the same reason we castrated two
scrub boars, and killed Off two cur

The present sires on the farm now
include purebred boar, four stand

and purebred Airedale dog. Cattle

FEED LITTLE CHICKS OFTEN
No More Moistened Material Should
Be Given Than Young Fowls VIII
Eat Up Clean.

Your. chicks should be fed little at
a time and often. They should be fed
early In the morning and just before
going to bed" at night, and not less
than two times In the intervening
period. For the first two weeks they
may be fed three meals OF soft feed
and two of hard, and after that age
two OF soft and three of hard, feeding
less soft feed as they grow older.
No more moistened soft feed should
be given at one time than they will eat
up clean. Poultry specialists In the
United States Department of Agrlcul.
ture say II any feed is left 1t should be
removed or II Will grow sour and cause
bowel looseness and dysentery The
finely cracked grains may safely be
used from the start, but the chicks do
not as rule grow as rapidly as when
part of the feed Is ground. When
the chicks are from four to six weeks
old the frequency OF feeding may be
decreased to three times a day.
From the very first chicks should be
induced TO exercise activity is a prime
factor In promoting health and
growth. Feed grain In the litter, and
make them scratch for It. A little fine
chaff or finely cut clover makes good
litter.

ERROR ON ALL BANK NOTES
Reference to "The Seal Of the rreas.
ury Of North America" 10
ManIfestiy Absurd.

Every bank note issued in the Uni.
ted States today bears an error on Its
face of which few are aware. The
same error has appeared on every note
circulated since the time OF the Con-
tInental congress, but no effort ever
has been made to change II. Some
where on the face Of these bills ap-
pears the seal of the treasury depart
ment, with an abbreviation OF a
Latin legend meaning ''The Seal Of
the Treasury Of North America"
That is the error. Such statement
is audacious and never has been true"
says a writer In the All America Re-
view, published by All America Cables,
Inc. In explanation OF the error, the
writer says: "The fact that this legend
was adopted In 1878 indicates a possl-
BILE breadth Of view Of the Continental
congress that may have included the
English possessions on the northern
part OF the continent, and constitutes
perhaps a continuing evidence Of the
aspirations. Of our forefathers to er.-
brace the entire continent In the or
ganization Of the new republic"
The Treasury department seal Is
older by six years than the great seal
Of the republic.

by multiplying the number OF man and
team hours by the prevailing local
rate and adding fertilizer costs

costs are, roughly. so per cent OF op-
Grating expenses, the total expense,

timating the use Of land the local cash

TOWN HAS PUREBREDs ONLY
Ohio Township is 100 Per Cent on
Right Side--No Grade or Scrub
Slres to Be Found.

The township of Jackson, in Hardin
county, Ohio, is entirely free from
grade and scrub sires. In notifying
the United States Department Of Agri.,
culture of this fact, Prof. John w.
Wulchet Of the Ohio agricultural ex-
tension service, adds, This is the first
township which has come to our atten-
ton that we feel satisfied Is 100 per
cent on the right side. No sire was
considered purebred unless 1t could be
proved that its sire and dam were
registered"
The survey Of slres included the
principal classes Of live stock, except
poultry. and was made for advance
credit by student In the college Of
agriculture. The survey showed that
the township included 1855 farms, on
which were 81 purebred boars, 20
purebred rams, 9 purebred beef bulls,
3 purebred dairy bulls, and 2 purebred
stations. No grade or scrub sires Of
any kind we're found in the township.

The farmers, 1t is said, have been
watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all of them do
not know yet that there is danger that
their corn may be dxmaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat Is
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and the rains have
delayed the planting of corn.
The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be so backward that damage by
the bugs is likely to be very severe.
1t Is well to expect the bugs to begin
migrating to corn as soon as the wheat
butts begin to harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe.
Any barrier work or creosote repellant
line work should begin as the bugs
will migrate in increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The
binder will shake loose those not al
ready out and stragglers will continue
to migrate In serious numbers for five

to pack the ground with a drag or
