CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN
FROM NOV. % TO DEC. 5
Leaders Of Both Houses Believe
Vacation Desirable to Avoid
Meddling in Arms Farley.

Congress will probably adjourn on
November %. taking a vacation until
December s, when the regular session
opens. If this is done. most Of the
members hope to get away on Nov
ember %.
This tentative "get away" date was
decided upon at q lengthy confer
ence in House Leader Mondelrs
office. during which it Is understood
that the House leaders consulted with
Senate leaders and had the assurance
that II the House wanted to get away
on November %. the Senate would not
stand in the way.
Leaders in both the House and
Senate said they thought an adjourn
ment was desirable at this time to
avoid meddling in the arms parley,
either through resolutions introduced
or debate started on the floor. It was
pointed out that the official repre-
sentatives at the international con-
ference are better informed regarding
the intricate details of disarmament
proposals than the members Of Con-
gress and that they should in no way
be coerced or subject to undue in
fiuence, that they should be allowed
plenty Of time for their deliberations.
since any worthwhile result must
come through concessions and COM
promises.

Declaring that the present period
Of industrial depression and the great

sweeping the country have also been
accompanied by an increase of what
Is commonly called commercial crime.
G. d. West, manager of the investiga-

exposed some of the schemes devised
to defraud creditors.
"While the numerous forms of social
crime are well known to the public,
the workings of the commercial
criminals are not familiar to most
PERSONS said Mr. West.
"The latter class deal principally
with fraudulent bankruptcies, the
mulcting of creditors and often, even,
the running of honest merchants. as
well as the defeating of the workings
Of the law.

firms with which he is dealing on
credit does his work carefully. He

BUSH VELVET BEAN FAVORED

Does Not Make Harvesting

Reports from 400 coopera tors of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture who tested bush velvet bean In
1920 for the first time are highly
commendatory. Three folIrihs OF
those reporting consider the bean
market success, and over half of them
believe 1t to be superior to any other
variety, everything taken into con-
sideration. Two uses Of the bean
meet with particularly enthusiastic
praise. FIRST is its use In corn,
where It's nontwning habit is very
desirable as it does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult

Irish potatoes are grown in most
home gardens, but there are just a
few points in the potato-growing game
that the home gardener is likely to
overlook which are very important.
First Of all, potatoes grow quickly, and
their food supply must be all ready
and waiting for them in the soil, See
ond, they are heavy feeders and want
plenty to draw upon. In other words,
the soil for Irish potatoes must not
only be rich but it must be rich in

The secretary to the President was

administration. But Cleveland brought

young man named Daniel S. Lamont,

extraordinary tact.
The man who happened to hold the
post of private secretary to Presi-

How to Use Fertilizer.


Common fertilizers give good re-
suits for growing potatoes, especially
IL the fertilizer contains potus h, rs po-
tatoes require more potash than is
usually present in the soil. Fertilizer
manufacturers mix special brands for
potatoes, and these are generally rnth
er rich in potash. How much fertil-
izer to use will depend upon the fertil-
ity of the soil, but as Il rule eight
pounds to each 100 feet of row will
be about right. A good way to APP
ply the fertilizer is to make the holes
or burrows and drop the pieces of seed
potato, cover them with an inch or
two of soil, then scatter the fertilizer
along the row so that 1t Will become
well mixed with the soil in completing
the covering of the seed Another
method is to scatter the fertilizer in
the furrow and mix it with the soil be-
fore dropping the pieces Of seed po-
tatO.
Best Kind of Seed.
Small, shriveled potatoes, left in the
bottom of the barrel at the end of win
ter, are not fit for seed. Only plump
disease-free potatoes, on Which the
sprouts are beginning to start should
be used for seed. Seed grown in
Maine New York, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, or some other special seed produc-
ing section will as Il rule give best re-
suits, Seedsmen get the seed potatoes
