Urges More Women to Run.

Washington.-A much larger num-

congress in the coming elections, Miss
Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, the
only woman member of the national
legislative body said last week.
Women, she said, either should
"drop bridge, take off their kid gloves
and help put affairs right, or forever
hold their peace"

A Catch Crop increases the
Corn Yield.

At one of the eastern experiment
stations, a tract of land on which corn
was grown continuously without the
addition of vegetable matter, but fer
tilted with commercial fertilizer, the
average yield of corn for a series OF
e a was thirty-seven bushels an
acre. On a similar tract where rye
was sown in the standing corn each
summer and turned under green the
next spring, the yield was forty-four
bushels an acre. On a third piece of
land, treated exactly like the other
two except that legumes, instead of
rye, were used as a cover and green
manure crop, the yield was ffty-one
bushels an acre for the series of
years through which the experiment
has run. Thus, There was a gain OF
seven bushels of corn to the acre
where organic matter from rye was
added, and fourteen bushels when Or
ganic matter was supplied by le-
gumes.
The superiority of legumes. over
rye is explained by the fact that they
produce a greater quantity of organ
ic matter, gather nitrogen from the
air and improve the mechanical con-
dition of the land on which they

to ripen q. fair percentage Of pods,
which are gathered for seed and the
remainder p%astured. This method not
only gives a crop of corn but also
sufficient cowpea seed for sowing the
next season, and the residue makes
either a hay crop or a fair amount of
grazing for stock. In many. parts Of

farm stock. Both the sweet sorghums

low box or tray filled with soil and
kept in a warm, sunny place, until the
weather is quite warm. Eggplant re-
quires a rich soil and good cultivation.
Occasional applications of very weak
liquid manure also benefit the plants
greatly.
Eggplant is attacked by several
kinds of insects, the most trouble
some Of these being the little flea
beetle which works upon the leaves,
filling them full Of small round holes.
AS a remedy, dust the plants thor

attain good size the plants can be
kept fruiting until killed by frost.

CLEANING AND GRADING SEED
No other Single Farm Operation
Which Gives Larger Returns in
Producing Crops.

There is no single farm operation
so easily and cheaply done, which
gives larger returns than the thorough
cleaning and grading Of all seed sown.
Besides cleaning out the weed seeds,
the light weight seeds are taken out
when the job is properly done, thus
preventing the reproduction Of Che
poorer plants. This practice carried
on year after year permits the in
crease of the best and kills out the
poorest. Thorough cleaning and
grading of all seeds planted is the
first step toward a successful crop.
There Is no time like the present to
put the seed in proper shape for plant
ing.

rieties of cowpea require about the
same time to mature as the sorghums
and therefore should be used in place
of the earlier sorts. Harvesting with
a moving machine is most satisfac-
tory.
When sown broadcast" for hay, the
sowing is best done with a grain drill
on well-prepared land, the two kinds
of seed being we'll mixed and sown at
the same time. Usually the best rate
to sow is about one bushel of cow
peas and half a bushel Of sorghum
seed to the acre. Where the grain drill
is not available for sowing, the cow
pea seed should be disked or narrowed
In, and the sorghum should then be
sow while the land is rough, the
seed being covered with a drag har-
row or weeder.
Excellent results are obtained by
sowing cowpeas and sorghums togeth-
er in cultivated rows 2h to 8 feet
apart. This method requires about
IS pounds of cowpeas and about one
third of a bushel Of sorghum seed to
the acre.

Franklin's Love for Books.

Benjamin Franklin had an overpow
ering desire-a desire which gripped
him to the end of his life, and to
which he gave himself over without
stint. That was a desire for books. He
read omnivorously, if you know what
that means-and if you don't, look it
up in the dictionary. He stole time
from his work and play, and leisure,
and persuaded his fellow apprentices
to fitch books for him from their mas
ter's shops.
His first literary adventure was in
to Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress"
and it was followed by every other
book he could lay hold of. Of course
his field was limited. In those ancient
days little was published in Boston
other than sermons, essays, political
pamphlets and learned treatises. But
Franklin didn't care whether they
were interesting or not. What he was
concerned with was matter for read
ing He wanted to learn the language.
He. desired to write it and speak, it
more effectively than any man of his
time, and he certainly attained a
rank with the finest Of them.-De-

before the American Association for

"When the grubs reach the back of

make their presence apparent by the
lump or swelling their body causes.
Gradually they make their way out
through\the back of the animal and
drop off, to begin all over again their
life history. The only hope of dealing
with the pest lies in energetic action
by cattle owners in working out and
destroying the MARBLES from the backs
of their stock. The herd should be
gone over Systematically every 30
days, the grubs squeezed out and de-
stroyed. OF course, even then, there
is loss because of the holes left in the
hide; five punctures Of the back or

Democrats Join in Ratification.

Washington, March 24.-ln sharp
contrast to the partisan tactics OF
the Republicans when for purely po-
litical reasons they killed the league
of nations and "broke the heart OF
the world" enough Democrats raj
lied to the support of the four power
treaty, formulated by the Harding
administration, to bring about it's rat
ifcation, 81 to 81.
Twelve Democrats voted for rati-

of South Carolina, Fletcher and

were recordedin the following states,

which they could have confronted the
people in the congressional elections.
Certainly, they have no claim based
on congressional achievement. And
for the guaranteed peace in the Pa
cifc we can divide claims with them"
Senator Dial of South Carolina,
who supported ratification said, IF
it had been personal or political, 1
would have taken great pleasure in
giving the Republicans a dose of their
own medicine. But the Republicans
in defeating the league of nations
came near bankrupting the world.
