because OF their great activity. Be
cause OF this the use of a repellant has
been found to be the most effective
remedy for this pest.
Bordeaux mixture will keep prac-
tically all of these insects off the vines
and, therefore, will greatly reduce the
tipburn. Three s%prayings are neces-
sary, one when the vines are about
eight inches high and the other two
at intervals OF about three weeks after
the first. Bordeaux mixture can be
combined with the regular bug spray
Of paris green or lead arsenate and
in this way two troubles can be
checked with but one operation.
Commercial powdered bordeaux
mixture is very expensive but a good
homemade bordeaux a be made
very cheaply and with but little work
and equipment. 1t is made from blue
vitrol, fresh stone lime and water. The
extension service at State college will
gladly send directions for making Dor
deaux mixture to anyone interested"

COUNTY AGENT CULLS FREE

Every member of the Bookings
County Farm Bureau has an opport-
tunity to receive many times the cost
Of his annual membership fee in hav-
ing his poultry culled by the county
agent. In 40 poultry culling demon
stration meetings where entire flocks
were examined it can be shown that in
the average flock Of 100 hens 1t is
actually worth $40 or more to dispose
OF the non-producers and diseased
birds. These demonstrations have
been conducted by Miss Clara Suffer,
state poultry specialist; Professor
Stevenson, State college; Professor
Beard, Brookings high school, and
Harry j. Boyts, county agent.
The important facts learned at these
demonstrations re-:
There were As per cen slackers and
diseased birds.
About 20 per cent of the flocks had
tuberculosis or some bad disease.
Poultry houses need d~isinfecting
spring and fall and much better venti-
lation. Many are over crowded.
There are 100 hens kept on the aver
age farm in ~Brookings county. To be
conservative and use the government
figures that 40 per cent of the hens
are slackers, it would mean 40 hens
on the average farm should be dis
posed Of. 1t is very c~onservatively
estimated that it costs 81 per year
to feed, house and care for a hen on
the farm. Thus, there would be a
direct annual gain Of $40 to the aver
age farm to be able to sell off the UNI
desirable hens. With the high per
cent Of tuberculosis in the flocks it is
worth much more to any farms to
clean up their poultry flocks.
The Brookiugs County Farm Bureau
realizes the Importance of this work,
and the county agent will examine
poultry for members and Gull them
free. This work gives the best results
when done in July, August and Sep
TENDER. Arrangements can be made
now.
Poultry is the most neglected live
stock on the farms Of the United
States, and it is most profitable to
raise when good attention is given.

ST. PAUL STOCK MARKET

Cattle receipts for the week total
about IL, 900 showing a loss Of around
1000 compared with last week. A new
high price for the year to date vas
set on heavy beef steers when a string
OF SO head of good to choice heavy
beeves sold at SO in Fridays trade.
Best dryfed yearling steers and heif-
ers also equalled this price. Bulk of
the cornfed steers brought IS to $S.75,
a few shortfeds 81 to So, grass steers
Sc to 81. Receipts of butcher she
stock were practically all Of the grass
fat variety, with bulk selling at 81 to
$3.50, a few of the latest offerings of
the lighter weights up to $3.50 or
better. Gamers and cutters sold
from $2.25 to s3.75, bulk $3.50 to $3.50.
Bulk Of bologna bulls moved at $3.50
to 81, a few choice heavies $4.25. Re-
cent eve losses in prices of veal
calves were partially recovered, clos
ing prices being 25 to soc higher than
a week ago, with best lights selling
from 81 to So, bulk S7.25 to $3.50.
Stockers and feeders went to the
country at "a to $3.50 for the most
part, being largely common and
medium grades. Good and choice
stockers and feeders are very scarce
in current receipts and are nominally
quotahle from s5.75 to s6.75 or slight
ly better. Cattle trade for the most
part was strong to Csc higher, some
OF the best offerings up more.
Hog receipts of $4,000 here this
week were the heaviest since early in
March. The market is closing about
10c lower on the average compared

has reviewed the building of our ships

then he recites the story Of the slump

TO ELIMINATE TIPBURN

"Tipburn Is n of the greatest yield
reducing factors with which the POI
tato growers of South Dakota have to
contend" points out A. L. Ford, extern
sion entomologist at State college. 1T
Is caused by a small greenish insect
known as the potato leaf hopper.
Where tipburn is showing up on the
young vines, II will mean dollars and
cents to the grower to reduce it as
much az possible.
by eliminating the leaf hoppers It
has been ~conclusively shown that
much of the tipburn will also be elm
mated. These insects cannot be
poisoned by an arsenical as they do
not have biting mouth parts. Further
more. they cannot be successfully
checked by the o Of contact sprays

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
BY j. Il. Ionaa

BY ]. z. Jones
The FOrdney tariff bill passed the
house Of representatives on July 81,
1921. The senate found it a pretty
good bill, except in 1000 exceptions,
where 1t made changes. The bill was
reported by the finance committee to
the senate April IL. Prospects for
passing 1t Immediately are not bright.
Likely it will be fall before the bill
gets through the senate and the differ
ences between the upper and lower
houses are adjusted. Most people are
not bothering their heads about the
different provisions Of the bill. Sena-
tor Broussard made the debate OF
popular interest the other day when
he told how his state of Louisiana
worked for zee years to establish the
reputation of Louisiana molasses, only
to be defeated by the Cubans who sub
stituted blackstrap for the genuine
article and then profiteered in 1t. New
Orleans molasses and blackstrap re-

holding in his hand some bread and
butter smeared over with molasses
and happy in the %devouring of a
piece" But most OF the tariff
items are not sweet, nor even inter
esting. The country looks upon the
tariff as the cause Of the economic
upset, and In the popular mind we
will v get back to 'normalcy"
until the tariff is out of the way and
business knows, as Grover Cleveland
used to put it-"where are we at"
The Republican party is pledged to
enact q tariff law. In fact the party
has been pledged SO long on that
score that the leaders are getting SEN
sitive about being twitted with de-
lays. Quite recently many attempts
have been made to lay aside the tariff
bill and to take up other legislation.
The soldier bonus was picked out by
some OF the leaders as a sufficiently
important to replace the
tariff bill. But the caucus Of Republi-

Veterans Need Not Worry Over War Gas

"During the last yenr the medical
division of the chemical warfare serv-
Ice has been making a careful study
of the after effects of warfare gases.
AS result of these studies the fol.
lowing conclusions have been drawn.
'As to the occurrence Of respira-
tory troubles resulting from exposure
to gases there is little evidence to
show that gas played conspicuous
role In this connection. 1t is doubt
full If the incidence Of these diseases
among ex-service men Is really greater
than among those who were not
gassed.
"Those who develop respiratory
troubles at this late date since their
discharge have no basis for. claims
that their disabilities were the result
of their war experiences. Such dis
abilities would probably have devel-
oped If they had never been in the
service at all. If Il year or so elapses
from the time of gassing until symp-
toms develop, it is quite probable that
gas had nothing to do with the mat
ter. provided that the lungs of such
claimants were clear at the time of
discharge"

A Business Court to Settle Disputes

proposed would consist of settlement
OF local controversies by local com
mercial bodies: of settlement of dis
putes within an industry by trade as
sociatiOns and of the handling by the
national chamber of cases that do not
fall within local or trade Jurisdiction
The national chamber already has pro-
vided machinery for handling dis
putes that may come to 1t.
The plan provides. aside from arbi-
tration, for the use of good offices on
the part of business organizations rs
means of settling differences wher-
ever possible by conciliation without
resort to arbitration.
Attention is called to the advantage
of arbitration over court procedure in
paragraph which says that it af-
fOrds means for decision upon the
merits of as business TRANSACTION as
it is understood by business mel.
There is no chance for the result to
turn upon some technicairy nr rule
of which neither party had thought.
A conclusion can be reached speedily,
because there is no opportunity for
dilatory proceedings and the case does
not have to take its turn on long
list of other cases. When decision
is rendered it is final: the way is not
open for appeals upon unsubstantial
matters to other bodies.
