o. K. Rent Bill
Thursday
HRs. THeoooRe TlLtER

The House District Commit
tee will make a favorable re-
port on the Ball rent bill when
it meets Thursday morning, it
was indicated today.
This measure will be given
the right of way over all.other
legislation and proponents of
the bill predict its approval by
more than two-thirds of the
committee.
Congressman Frank c. Mills
paugh, of Missouri, plans to
make a vigorous attack on the
measure. He is gathering
figures which he says proves
that the Rent Commission is
costing the Government con-
siderably more than is saved
the people by the commissions
determinations.
Congressman Ben X. Focht,
chairman of the committee, and
Congressman Ralph Gilbert,

KITELEss WASHINGTON BOYS

Did you know that Washington
boys have for thirty years been
forbidden to fly kites in the Dis

attention to this fact and to the in
PRODUCTION of a bill in the House
by Congressman REBER, permit
ting kyle flying.
Mr.. Moses says: The making Of
kites is a good manual training
and flying them is a good, clean
sport. Colonel SHERRILL, in
charge of public buildings and
grounds, and Mrs. RHODES.
supervisor Of Fairgrounds. have
approved the measure"
We can't forget the experiments
Of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN with
kites, nor the many, other great
successss in sctence that have
come out Of this practice.
Yet the District Commissioner
will probably oppose the bill on
the ground that automobiles have
become such dangers to playing in
the streets that 1t would never do
for boys to start kite flying. An
other objection is the tangling Of
kites In telephone and electric
wires.
It's pretty tough on the boys.

to fly kites in the public parks,

FURNISH PROTECTION
FOR CRANBERRY B0GS
Beneficial Effect OF Sanding Is
Noted in Wisconsin.

Water Supply Conserved by ELM

b Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuiture.)
Observations by the weather bureau
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture on the beneficial effect Of
sanding cranberry Dogs have recently
been confirmed In report from the
cranberry experiment station near
Cranmoor, Wis. According to the re-
port there is an average of 50 days
between the last spring and first fall
frost (June 25 to August 22) over I'M
sanded bog, as against 118 days be-
tween the last spring and first fall
frost over sanded bog
This represents a gain OF 95 per
cent in length of frost-free season on
sanded bog. The item of sanding,
therefore, greatly reduces frost haz-
ards and conserves the water supply
by eliminating the need for frequent
flooding to protect against summer
frosts. Sanding not only permits but
requires deeper and better drainage,
and is an insurance against fires on
a bog In dry times. Sanding, together
with thicker setting of plants, reduces
labor and expense Of wedding, besides
earlier cropping on the bog.

HOW TO RENEW STRAWBERRY
Leave Only Enough Old Plants to
Start Runners-Patch Should
Be Moved and Raked.

The time to renew the Strawberries
for next years crop is Immediately
after this years crop Is harvested.
Only enough old plants should be left
in the rows to start the runners. The
best berries are produced on the new
growth. Before the plants are thlnned
the whole patch should be moved,
then thoroughly raked and all the old
leaves burned. This will destroy a
great many insects that had intended
to winter over on the plants. It will
also get rid of numerous diseases that
might be carried on the old plants. II

ture believes that attempts at eradi.
order to check the spread Of this dis.
ease, attention should be given to the
growing of varieties immune or high
ly resistant to the disease. In Aus
tralia. where conditions are similar to
those In some parts of this country.
fields sometimes show losses as high
as 20 per cent and the infection In
general Is like that of bunt or sinking
smut In our own wheat-growing re-
gions. In two states where this smut
has been found parts of fields have
shown losses as high as 20 per cent,
but 1t Is doubtful if field losses there
have ever been as much as per cent
of the crop.
Highly Resistant Varieties.
A number Of varieties of wheat
grown in this area have been found
not to take the disease at all, or to be
highly resistant to 1t. OF the soft red
winter wheats, Red Rock, Stoner or
Marvellous, Fulcaster, Mammoth Red
and Dietz are In this class. OF the
hard red winter wheats, Illinois 10-11O,
Kanred, Illinois 12-41, and P-106S. are
highly resistant, If not immune. Nu-
Inerous other strains and varieties
have shown high resistance, but some
varieties that have been very popular
In this district have been found to
take flag smut infection very readily.
Wind Carries Spores.
Investigations Indicate the probable
lty that the spores of the disease are
carried by the wind from field to field,
and for this reason 1t is doubtful If
any quarantine measures can be ef-
fective in preventing Its spread. There
Is strong indication that the growing
Of resistant varieties is the least ex-
Eensive and most dependable method
Of preventing loss. Crop rotation also |
will help to keep the disease under |
control. for. unless a variety Is COM
Dletely resistant. growing wheat after
wheat will Increase the Infection in a
field.
Farmers within or near the infested |
urea are urged to consult with their |
county agents or state experiment sta
ion and arrange to get supplies of
hese recommended varieties for SOW
