NEW ASSAULT ON LIZZY'S FATHER

The assault by five members of the House Military Affairs Committee on Henry Ford $ proposal to buy from the government the great Muscle Shoals plant serves purpose only in that it opens new angle to the handling of this gigantic government enterprise that will arrest attention. The protestants charge that the Ford plan is part of "the most insidious propaganda that the nation has witnessed for many day'' They contend the plant has cost the government $85, ,487 300, and that it is proposed to sell it to Ford for less than $5,OOO, OOO They contend the contract does not en- force the manufacture of fertilizer by Ford, and that this fertilizer propaganda has been spread to gain the backing of the farmer. Further, they sheer at the plea to labor m stories of the possible employment for mll~ lion men, The chief cause of objection IS, however. that MT. Ford "does not agree to make fertilizers at all unless he can make them at profit to himsef.' This is ter rible arraignment. By what rule of thumb do these very patriotic congressman condemn the moral standard of man because he wants to make profit out of a business enterprise. II we had in the national congress few men ot sufficient business acumen to think of profit for the public, we would not be worrying to- day about the disposition of the Muscle Shoals plant It would be operated by the govern ment, supplying to the farmers fertilizer at cost or near cost; it might even be turning out standardized farming machinery and put ting an end to the exploitation of the farmer at the hands of the machinery trust. Farmers mean food, and food means life. Ii the op- position can bring this about, then by all means scrap the Ford plan, but if 1t cannot if the country must await the slow dlslntegra- tion of the plan, if it must stand idle until It rots and falls to pieces like so many of our wartime ships, if it must follow in the wake of the thousands of wartime automobiles, left for months in the open, to be made Junk by the weather, while our patriots bubble ~l Ike the three little Tailors of Tooey Street, then the sooner we get some action and some sal wage from the incompetency of our reclama- tion authorities the better.
 The shocked congressman say Ford It not an Alladin plus the lamp. True, but he IS a pretty sound business man, and his past per formance for labor bespeaks well for the work man in the future if he be permitted to turn government floundering into private energy. q.

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT

Interest in "Area Plan" Devel-
oped in Many States.
Valuable Supplement to Accredited
Herd Work Which Has Resulted
In Eradication Of Many Head
of Tubercular Cattle.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.l
In addition to systematic eradication
Of cattle tuberculosis by the accredit-
ed.herd plan. interest in the 'area
plan," as it Is called, has lately de-
veloped in many states, according to
the report issued by the United States
Department Of Agriculture describing
progress during March. The eradlca-
tion of tuberculosis under the compre-
hensive plan generally includes coun-
ty as unit and all the cattle In the
county are tested. The report shows
that in states where the eradication
work was concentrated In certain local
tiles in an effort to wipe out the dis
ease entirely, great many more an
imals were tested than IN states where
the area plan is not Yet followed to
any appreciable extent.
In one month, Nebraska, working on
the area plan, tested 21.00O cattle. A
number Of other states made high rec
ords as result Of the concentration Of
effort in few counties. During March,
Michigan tested 1887 head; New
York, 1906; Missouri. 1900; 1ndi'
ana, 1888; Wisconsin. 11,788; Iowa,
II. 1.25O, and Tennessee, 8.455. The total
number tested In all the states during
the month was 228,779.
The area plan of testing Is valu-
able supplement to accredited-herd
work which has resulted In the eradi-
cation of many thousand head Of tu-
berculosis cattle and the establishment
of more than 1900 herds accredited
as free from the disease.
There are now more than 305.O00 &C.
credited cattle In the country; over
1,25OOOO tested once and found free Of
tuberculosis; more than 2,133, 900 un'
der supervision; and about 100000 on
the waiting list. Wisconsin leads In
number Of accredited cattle with &c.
1873. and Minnesota follows with SO, 750.
However, the rate at which the work
is going on in some other states, these
two will have to keep very busy to
stay at the top.

"'Each department conducts at least
one of each of the two general types
of projects. One of these types is the
kind of experiment in which an i'm

INDICATION OF LAYING HENS
Spread Of Distance Apart Of Pelvic
Bones ls Valuable Sign Of
Fowls Condition.

AS hen stops laying there is a
tendency for her to take on fat. This
Is noticeable in examining the pelvic
bones, the two bones which can be
felt as points on either side of the
vent. When the hen Is laying these
bones become comparatively thin and
flexible. When she is not laying they
feel thicker and less flexible, due to
the fat which has accumulated there.
The spread of distance apart Of these
pelvic bones Is also a valuable indicao
tion Of whether or not the hen is lay
ing. When laying they are wider apart
than when not laying.

tecting his garden when an utomizer

less.
The powders may be shaken from
a muslin bag tied to stick, or various
forms Of busters, bellows or blowers

Dry powders are best applied when
the leaves are wet with dew.
Mechanical Methods.
For garden insects there are several
control methods that do not require
the use of insecticides, but too much
must not be expected from them. OF
these hand picking is useful for large,
comparatively inactive insects such as
the potato beetle. cutworms and other
caterpillars, and the squash bug. An.
other method is jarring or beating ILL
sects from low plants into large pans
of water on which thin scum of kero-
sene, being on the surface, kills the ILL
sects with which 1t comes In contact.
Collecting nets are valuable for some
pests; for example. the tarnished
plant-bug. Brushing by different means
is used to considerable extent and
consists in beating or brushing insects
from the plants with pine boughs or
similar brush. This method has proved
of great value in combating the pea
aphis. Covering with cloth Is Of use
as a preventive for the striped cucum-
ber beetle when the cucumbers are
quite small. and for root-maggots.
! Trapping by different methods with
old boards is useful for squash bugs
and cutworms.

ers. large and small birds in every
breed" Embleton explains. 1T Is the
strain more than the breed that is
really the more important thing to
consider"
"There are threa recognized general
classes of poultry" Embleton says.
"the small birds or the s0-called egg
producing class, the medium-sl bird
or the so-called dual purpose class, and
the extremely large or the meat class.
There Is no great distinction between
the egg class or the dual so far as the
egg production Is concerned, for many
OF the medium meat breeds are good
egg layers, and In the small-sized
birds which are considered for egg
laying only, there are oftentimes
found individuals that will weigh from
five to five and one-half pounds and
these will make fairly good meat

"Now, in regard to the breed you
would like to have, have first to sug-
gest that you decide upon whether you
want eggs primarily or whether you
want general-purpose breeds. When
you have made this decision pick out
the breed which you like best because

picked the breed that you like best

Diversification Of croNs; emancipa-
tion from the thralldom of single crop
farming; eradication of weeds; these
are indeed three great amendments to
the agricultural constitution Of the
sovereign state Of North Dakota.
Inspection of our fields in June and
July will tell whether or not we have
really started to incorporate these fine
phrases into our agricultural practice.
Diversifcation means first Of all, more
cultivated crops; more cultivated crops
means getting at the job of weed eradi-
cation.
Is that corn field going to be made
means toward weed destruction, or is
It, through neglect, to become sore
spot, a weed breeder? Is that potato
field going to grow potatoes alone or
is it to become nursery for weeds
<.as well? We are not concerned at this
time with those more serious weed
pests which claim entire fields; the
battle against quack grass, SOW thistle,
and Canada thistle is a seperate story.
These enemies rear their heads so
flauntingly; and entrench their roots
so securely that every one recognizes
the peril that lies in their spread.
The perennial weeds are hardened
sinners; every one will admit that they
must suffer the death penalty. 1t is
not these arch criminals that really
take the great toll in the average corn
or potato field; But it is the ANNALS
which, like bad habits, are permitted
to grow in the poorly cultivated field,
and like all bad habits that are not
up-rooted, will SOW the seed that works
harm to the following generation.
French weed, mustard, pigeon grass,
kinghead, Russian thistle, wild oats
these are indeed bad habits and how
they do increase. Some of these bad
habits are worse than others; none of
them are welcome in the society of a
Dakota wheat field.
Most annual weeds can be eradicated
through growing cultivated crops but
-the following principles must be OBJ
served:
Thorough use of disk and harrow
in order to prepare seed bed.
2.-Check row corn-drilled corn will
