Middle West Situation Bears
Out Optimism Expressed
by President.
IMPROVEMENT IN GRAIN
Rail Conference at White
House Tonight to Further
Harding's Program.
Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. May 10. !
President Harding has undertaken
to prepare the way for the return of
business prosperity and 70 assist in
realizing it's return.
The conference at the White House
last night with representatives of the
steel industry and the conference the
President will hold with the railroad
executives tomorrow night are part
of the program.
Reports reaching the White House
show that prosperity is returning
rapidly to the United States and the
belief was expressed that within
ninety days there would be a general
shortage of common labor. Such a
shortage was reported to be already
manifest in Detroit, Chicago and Ohio
cities. The representatives of the steel
industry who met with the President
last night entertain the same belief,
while railroad executives point to In
creasing railroad business.
So far as the basic farming industry
Is concerned, the Administration. under
stands the grain industry has attained
better standard, with prices greatly
Increased. This has been brought about
by the return of generally normal con-
ditions and by the aid of the War FL
nance Corporation. The stock industry
still complains Of untoward conditions
stressing objections to excessive freight
rates and other obstacles. chiefly of a
marketing character.
The President purposes to deal with
both difficulties in direct manner. The
twelve hour day he regards as economi-
cally unsound and as tending to a pro-
longation of the differences between en-
ployers and employed. Since the aboli-
tion of the twelve hour day rests with
the representatives of the steel industry.
he has undertaken to interest the steel
men in the matter
The President Is pleased with the re-
suits of his conference. especially with
the appointment of q committee repre-
scnting the steel institute to investigate
the question of shorter hours. The
steel men themselves are willing to make
the change. but find much of the objec-
tion coming from the men themselves
who prefer to work the longer hours with
increased returns

PRESIDENT CONFIDENT

Conpers Disagrees and Criti-

WASHINGTON. May 19.--1t was de-
clared to-day by an Administration
spokesmen that President Harding is
confident the confercnce at the White
House last night with men controlling
the steel Industry had started a move
ment which would result in abolition of
the twelve hour day.
The same confidence was not held In
certain labor circles, however. Samuel
Gompers. president OF the American
Federation OF Labor. said the meeting
was typical OF present day effrontery

was accomplished. Mr.. Gompcrs con-

Presidential approval was placed to-.
day upon the use of the naval transport
Henderson to convey members of the
Naval Academy class of 1881 to Japan
on a junketing trip described as a visit
of international courtesy"
The President SO enthusiastically ap-
proves the trip that he would be willing
to pay the extra coal costs out of his
own pocket, IL he had the money, and
that were necessary
Objections made in the Senate and
elsewhere to the junket were described
at the White House as perfectly in
excusable fuss"
The White House utterance apparently
closes the incident, SO far as the use of
the Henderson is concerned. Tho Presi-
dent. as commander in chief OF the army
and navy. has the authority to direct the
transport to go where he pleases. al
though the Senate may have something
further to say on the subject.
Accordingly the Henderson will leave
Norfolk tomorrow bearing the class. in

"sTAR sATHsr

We have heard of wise old doc
tor who prescribed for his nervous
patients who were fretted, and anxi-
Gus, and troubled, what he lightly
called "star baths" His patients
were directed to read astronomy;
nothing very difficult, or erudite-
just simple books, beginners books,
even.
"a woman who can read an hour
day Of easy astronomy" he said,
land in addition to that can look at
the stars for ten minutes at night,
before she goes to sleep, and can
then still hold onto her little fretful
troubles, is pretty sick. But, to tell
the truth, l don't often find people as
sick as that Most of them benefit
enormously by my treatment of what
call star baths They come out
of them refreshed, and for time at
least are self-forgetful, and have a
better sense of proportion"
1t is not so much merely material
astronomy, as we understand it, that
constitutes the old doctors "star
baths" as sort of spiritual &C
quaintance with the stars. We have
seen people study birds with an OPP
era glass, who cared more for the
classification of species than for the
thrush's note in the twilight; we
have seen people read mathematical
astronomy and study star maps, who
could point out to you every constel-
lation, and who knew the name and
position of every important star, who
still somehow managed to miss what
we believe is the full benefit of star
study. In other words, though he did
not exactly say so. we believe that
the wise physician intended that the
"star baths should be. so to speak,
warm, not cold.

WEED DESTRUCTION IN MAY
Is EASIER THAN IN AUGUS

is EASIER THAN IN AUGUST
1t is easier to kill thousand young
weeds in May than dozen old ones
in August, soils and crops special
lists at the College of Agriculture de-
clare. Immediate steps, therefore,
will be helpful in preventing these
robbers from stealing much moisture
and plant food from crops later in
the season, it is said.
"a ton of weeds growing on an
acre will deprive a profitable crop OF
about $50 pounds of water during
the growing season." according to r.
E. Stephenson. one of the specialists.
This amount of moisture is required
by a ton of average farm crops, but
weeds take an equal amount. In ad-
dition, weeds of ten make the diff
ference between success and failure
in getting good yields largely be-
cause the crop has been robbed of
plant food
Successful weed control depends
upon beginning early before the
plants get start. On cultivated land
early breaking is desirable. This
gives time for many weeds to be ger
minated and destroyed before the
crop is seeded. A harrow used when
weeds are just sprouting will do
more effective work than blowing at
ter they get start.
Constant tillage is essential in
controlling weeds that grow from
underground stems. Two years of
clean cultivation will destroy most
Of the stems of such weeds. Many
weeds reproduce from both the stem
and seed, in the latter case the seed
being especially abundant in many
cases. A single plant of rag weed
has been found to produce more than
$4,000 seeds, pigeon grass more than
100000. lamb quarters more than 6O0.-
900, barnyard grass more than 1000
600, and tumble weed more than g.
100000. When seeds are produced
SO abundantly, only a few plants are
required to seed a large acreage.
This makes II important TO pre-
vent weeds from seeding. Few OF
them decay in less than three years.
the seeds Of some weeds having pro
duced plants after being buried for
more than 10 years"

STATE BANKS WIN

Kentucky state banks have won
the first round of their fight to pre-
vent the state tax commission in
specting their files and records to
find what securities have been de-
posted with them as collateral on
notes to be checked against the tax
return of borrowing customers of
the banks. Judge Robert L. Stout,
of the Franklin circuit court, over
ruled a demurrer of the commission
to the petition of the Capital Trust
Company, Frankfort, seeking to en-
join the commission.

MANY HENS SCRATCH FOR
LICE AND NOT FOR FEE

Make the hens scratch for their
feed and not for lice" has been sug.
gested by poultrymen at the College
Of Agriculture as good watchword
for Kentucky farmers during the
coming summer. At least rs per
cent of the flocks in the state are
troubled with lice and mites each
summer, this condition not only low
ering the egg production of the hens,
but also weakening the vitality of
the birds so that they are more apt
to becoms infected with disease, it
was pointed out.
This is a good time of the year to
get ahead of many of the lice and
mites, which multiply more rapidly
in hot weather, by having a spring
cleaning of the poultry house, the
poultrymen say. Such cleanings have
been found to be effective means of
reducing the number of pests in the
houses and on the hens.
Lice live on chickens while mites
stay on the roosts and in the cracks
of the house and trouble the chick
ems only when they go to roost or
are on the nest, ]. r. Smyth, one of
the poultrymen, pointed out. This
makes it necessary to follow differ
ent methods in Kidding the flock of
the pests.
Sodium fiuoride which can be pur-
chased at any drug store is used
either as a powder or a dip and has
been found to be an effective means
of controlling lice. When it is used
as dip for hens one pound is added
to ten gallons of luke warm water
1t is used full strength when the
hens are busted with it,
In controlling mites, it is necessary
first to clean the house thoroughly
and then spray it with a three to
five per cent solution of some good
stock dip. The roost poles are paint
ed with a full strength solution of
the same material or crude oil.
