As has been argued before this road
bed has stood the test of many Years
of travel and today is firm, almost
the entire - miles TO be rebuilt.
To tear it up will mean additional

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
From O,o .Speciol Correspondent

From O,W Speciol Correspondent
Washington May lit is expected
that the Senate Finance Committee
will present to the President some
time this week, new bouS bill result
ing from the recent conferences held
by members of the Committee with re
preSentatiyeS of veterans orGlniza-
tions and that thy will ask the Pres
ident to approve the bill.
Although the new bill Is similar to
the House bill there are a few
changes namely:
The bank loan feature of the House
has been eliminated and loans on the
certificates or life insurance policies
to be given 10 the veterans will be
obtained from the government.
Instead of permitting the veterans
to borrow 30 per cent of the face
value of their certificates at the start,
the McCumbcr bill would only author
ize loans of % per cent of the face
value of the certificates.
The loan value of the certificate
would be increased by 5 per cent each
year, up to the point where, at the
end of eleven years. the veterans
could borrow so per cent Of the face
value of the policy which would be The
greatest loan value.
The certificates would mature in
twenty years and have the same face
value of the certificates Of the House
plan, the maximum value of the certi-
ticates being approximately $500
The bill with these changes made
over the protests Of the representa-
tives of the veterans is expected to
be presented to the President early
next week.

PUT TREES ON WASTE SPOTS
Conditions Demand That All Land
Should Produce Something
Trees Are Favored.

Modern conditions demand that all
the wastes and leaks be eliminated,
and this means that all the land
should produce something. It is not
always possible to make every portion
OF the farm area yield annual crops,
but in such cases one may wisely and
probably try trees. If one-twentieth
of each farm tract were set aside for
forestry, in time there would be tim
Der to spare.
A great many cliffs and hillsides
along our many rivers and streams
are fit for little else, and hill land
that is very stony may be planted to
post-timber trees with much profit.
Black locust and catalpa are the most
profitable for posts, the locust being
given the preference on account Of
it's manner Of growth being smoother
and the quality Of timber the very
best.

Mixed or impure stock, under mod

able seed which may ruin the entire
output OF canning factory, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The Gamer should buy direct
from the seed-grOwing scotsman rath-
er than from jObber. Particularly
In the case Of smooth Alaska peas,
which furnish IS per cent Of the
canned peas on the market. there Is
risk taken II a Gamer buys seed the
history of which cannot be traced.
The Gamer is in a much safer position
II he buys only from seed growers
who control their own stocks.
Must Be Productive.
To be good canning pea. variety
must, first Of all, be productive; all
plants must ripen uniformly all pods
on individual plants must be in disable
condition at one time-that Is, none
must be too ripe or too immature; the
peas must remain green after process
ing. The Introduction Of the viner
which eliminates Manipulating Of the
pods, has had decided influence on
the varieties Of peas used for can
ming.
The return on q planting Of peas
for seed is far less than that on either
corn or tomatoes. two other impor
tant canning crops, and the utmost
care is necessary throughout the
growth Of the seed crop to discover
and weed out undesirable types Of vol
unteer plants or those due to ware
house mixture, so as to keep the stock
uniform. The scotsman sows about
three bushels Of peas per acre, getting
a return Of Is bushels. Three Of these
must be kept for stock seed, leaving
II bushels to sell. The eastern grow
er for the cannery plants four or five
bushels to the acre. SO that the aver
age seedsman's acre Of peas supplies
about three acres for the cannery.
An acre Of corn yielding 40 BUSH
els would provide seed for 100 acres
of canning crops. and an acre Of tOma-
toes yielding 100 pounds of seed would
plant 1000 acres in canned crops.
With this small relative return per
Gcre, the scotsman must take every
precaution to maintain the purity Of
his stock, or he may run the risk Of
very heavy losses IL he loses his repu-
tation for good seed. 1t Is safest for

SUPPLY YOUNG CHICKS MASH
Where Alfalfa 10 Available Il Makes
Excellent Green Feod-AvoId
Hot 6rooder.

Plenty Of mash for young chicks
means more rapid growth. say poultry
men at Iowa State college. Allow the
chicks two parts Of mash to one part
of scratch feed for best results. Where
alfalfa Is available 1t makes fine green
food for young chicks.
Another important point In handling
young chicks is not to have the brooder
temperature too hot Decrease the
temperature little a day and keep
1t regular. Chicks are. more often
killed from fluctuations in heating
than they are from cold. 1t is better
to have the temperature too low than
too hot. Too hot brOoder makes the
chicks stupid.
It Is not necessary to put young
chicks on the ground during the early
weeks of their life. All that is needed
is to supply an inch Of gravel on the
floor Of the house and this will supply
the necessary grit. This kind Of
floor can be kept clean and dry more
easily than a dirt floor and It will
