d EPUBLICAN members Of the house
IN ways and means committee hav-
ing rejected the sales tax plan for f.
mittee went on trying to devise other
schemes, with the alternative of adopt
ing bin that contains no financing
feature A subcommittee suggested one
plan which would not involve a heavy
drain on the treasury during the next
two years. This contemplates the elm
ination OF a cash bonus. Adjusted
service certificates would be issued
equal TO the sum Of the adjusted serv-
ice pay of the veteran Isl day for
domestic service and $1.25 day for
foreign service, less the $50 bonus paid
at the time Of discharge), increased by
40 per cent. plus interest thereon for
twenty years at the rate Of Al per
cent a year, compounded annually. The
total face value thus would be ap-
proximately 3.3S times the amount of
cash that veteran would have re-
ceived under the cash feature.
Immediately after the certificate
was received the service man could
obtain from a bank an amount equal
TO 80 per cent of the total of the ad-
tusted service pay. II at the expira-
tion of three years the sum thus OBJ
tained. plus interest, had not been
paid by the service man, the bank
could make demand on the federal
treasury for the amount due. The gov
ernment thus would take over and
carry the loan.
Some members feared the borrow
ings under this plan might affect the
financial situation harmfully, so treas
ury experts were called in to advise
the committee on that and other
points II the scheme is feasible and
goes through the government would
not have 10 pay any cash for two or
three years except for administrative
purposes.

THINGS TO M DONE IN APRIL.

Look Out for Bi0at.-lt is a strong
temptation to turn these cows out on
that nice green alfalfa field during
April. Look out for bloat! To pasture
alfalfa is counting danger. A liberal
supply of alfalfa hay from the year
before furnishes much better feed for
April thin does the new crop silage
hay would be most appropriate for the
month of May.
Prepare tor Insects.-Prepare early
for the coming battle with the garden
insects by laying in a supply Of poisons
this month. Every, gardener should
have on hand several pounds Of lead
arsenate for the leaf-eating insects
and some black leaf for the plant ice.
There should also he available cop.
per sulphate (blue vltrol) and lime for
preparing bordeau mixture. which is
excellent in checking many plant dis
eases CT the garden.
Drain Out Wet SpOts. Burrows
made with stirring plow will often
help drain out small wet spots in the
field. The patent ditcher is service
able for this purpose, for a small ba-
sin. also. Leading the surface water
of cultivated land in this way often
helps in cultivation.

no CONTROL FOR FAMOUS PEST

Latest reports from the office of the
state entomologist, at the state col
lege in Bozeman, indicate that no def
mite method of control has been found
fer the pale western cutworm. worst
of Montana insect pests. The two best
methods apparently are summer fall
low and early spring plowing. it is
said. The fallow must be allowed to
crust after July Is SO that the moths
will not readily deposit eggs. Warm
ing is given that many farmers nave
plCwed up fields where they found
worms. because they thought the pest
was the pale western cutworm. In
many instances the worm has been the
army cutworm. which can he controll-
ed effectively by poisoned bran mash.
Farmers should be sure which worm
ia causing the damage before blowing
up their crops.
