 SOLDIERS BONUS
Republican Forces of Con- gress VIII Debate Sales Tax as Means Raising
 Soldier Bonus

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Re publican forces of Congress will hold a caucus tonight at which ways and means for raising funds to finance the soldiers bonus wilt be considered. A strenuous fight will be made for the adoption of the Sales Tax method of raising the necessary funds.
 Considerable opposition exists to a sales tax. MT. Frear of Wisconsin, a member of the House ways and means committee, declared that he will fight such a tax because it will place too great burden on the pub lie ard would be the cause of the de- feat of many members of Congress by reason of the increased taxation.
 It is generally believed that unless the R" publican members can unite on sales tax at the caucus tonight the mateer of soldiers bonus will be postponed until a future date, Such delay will result in the ultimate defeat of the measure.

HEARST PAPERS TAKE UP FIGHT
 FOR GOvT. R. R,
Av:hoar Brisbane Appeals to Government to Retain Ownership of the
 Alaska Railway

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Arthur Bris- bane, editorial writer for the Hearst newspapers, has taken up the cause of government ownership of railroads in Alaska against Secretary Fall.
 Brisbane declared in this mornings publications of the Hearst papers: Are you going to take the Alaska railroad, now owned by the govern ment. and representing an investment of fifty-six million dollars of public money and lease it to private individ- uals who will work Alaska for all the traffic and territory will bear?"
 Brisbane declared that there were schemers at work to get control of the railroad in their own hands and on their own terms for a period of ninety nine years.
 Secretary Fall, who has been the mouthpiece for the interests who de- sire to get control of the Alaska rail- road has declared himself opposed to nearly all government restrictions and interference in the development of Alaska His idea is to allow private capital to exercise unlimited freedom in the development of the Territory
 The Hearst newspapers will throw their entire weight in the struggle to prevent the operation of the govern ment railroad passing into private hands.

PIant-Lice.
Practically all vegetables, especially
cucumbers, cabbages, and peas, suffer
considerable damage from attack by
small, soft-bodied insects commonly
called ''lice" or "aphis," but better
known as plant-lice. These work for
the most part on the lower sides of
the leaves, which become curled or
otherwise destroyed by loss of their
vital juices. They give off sweet
mixture called -honeydew, which at
tracts ants, flies, and other insects.

color from light to dark green or
nearly black, grayish, brown, yellow.
and red. They have comparatively
long legs and have feelers attached
to the head. Some forms have two
pairs of transparent or clear wings.
They feed by sucking juices of the
plants through a beak. Familiar ex-
amples are the melon aphis. pea aphis,
and cabbage plant-lice.
controI.-If the plants are grown
under glass, plant-lice may be killed
by fumigation with a nicotine prepara-
ton. The form suitable for this work
is paper soaked in nicotine which when
lighted causes a smudge. Sprinkling
plants with fine tobacco dust is Of
some value, especially if applied early
in the morning when the dew is on.

BEST TIME TO DROP CALVES
Question Best Decided by Farm Corr
dtons, Considering Feed Sup
ply, Pasturaee, Etc.

The best time to have calves dropped
is debatable Some farmers prefer to
have them dropped in late February in
March, or early in April, while others
prefer September or October. This
question is decided by the farm cOndi-
TONS taking into consideration feed
supply, pasturaEe equipment and labor.
When calves are dropped III the spring
they require less close attention and
labor during the first winter and less
pasture during the first summer, since
cows and calves run together. while
the COWS may be wintered more cheap
Iy by using a greater quantity of coarse
roughage.
However, if calves are born in the
fall, the cows are in better condition
at calving time; they give more milk
for longer period; the calves make
better use of the grass during their
first summer; they escape flies and
heat while small and may be weaned
just before calving time. Fall calves
should not be weaned until they are
put on grass in the spring. No mat
fer what system is used. all the calves
should be dropped within a period Of
go days to give as much uniformity
as possible to the calf crop.
