Should Lord Refuse to Restore
Items Protest Will Be Made

Unwilling to accept the edict OF
the Bureau Of the Budget slash
ing by millions the 1925 esti-
mates of the District, the District
Commissioners are planning t.
vigorously protest to Brig. Gen.
n. NJ. Lord, director of the bu-
reau.
Failing to receive satisfaction
at the bureau, the Commissioners
may carry their case to President
Coolidge.
Commissioners to Act.
The Commissioners have decided to
act. They have completed the task
OF slashing the estimates from $780,
100000 to $25,150,O00. In doing 80
every Improvement planned for the
District has been eliminated.
A letter setting forth the views OF
the Commissioners is being prepared

BACK FROM CALIFORNIA

I. H. White, former chief Of police
at Blackfoot, returned from Los
Angeles the last of the week, to at
tend to some business matters here
and in the Caribou country.
Mr.. White says he expects to re-
turn to Los Angeles after a few
weeks. That is his home, and bust
ness is looking very good. He has
been selling real estate, and there is
always somebody wanting to buy.
Mr.. White says the impression
that most people get when they go
into southern California is that it
is a bubble and that it may be ex-
pected to burst sooner or later, but
that as one studies what it is based
on he realizes that large percentage
of the population that is there and
coming in, is prepared to remain
whether they make money or not,
and the fact that they remain ac-
counts in part for business holding
up. AS often as thousand families
go into the country to stay, that
makes demand for thousand shell
ters, and adds to the volume of
every kind of business that serves
families.
When asked about the manufac-
.uring that is reported to be growing |
here. he replied that good many |
eastern firms find it possible to oper-
tie branch factories near Los Angeles
instead of shipping the finished pro-
lucts in from the east, and they are
changing to that basis.

department points out, however, that
1t is still so early in the season that
definite forecasts regarding either
supply or demand cannot be made.
An influx Of Mexicans into the sugar
beet regions to relieve in part the
shortage of farm labor is reported.
Agricultural prices show relatively
little change. Slightly higher prices
for some products are shown but
most of these products have left the
farm. The index of purchasing
power of farm products stood at 70
for April as compared with 50 in
March. The general Industrial stu
alton is receiving considerable at
tention by the department in chart
ing the prospective demand for ag-
ricultural products. Competitive
bidding for labor and materials and
strikes in the textile and building
industries suggest that the indus
trial boom may be entering the
phase of highest costs, the depart
ment says. The building boom has
received some preliminary
shocks in the shape of strikes and
suggested curtailment of credit, it
Is stated.

used up, and that they are looking
to the prospective boulder dam in
the Colorado river - their next bis
source Of supply to enable the. city OF
Los Angeles to keep abreast of the
demand for power. The water sup
ply which they thought had been so
nicely solved q few years ago, is
also approaching its limit, and they
are seeking new sources for storage
of mountain streams to bring in.
Mr.. Mulholland, the engineer who
designed and managed the construc-
ton of the city water supply in the
great enlargement of ten years ago,
is such q hero now, they are making
a great driveway hundred feet wide
and nineteen miles long on top of
the coast range, named in his honor,
and when completed, people can
drive the full length of 1t, viewing
the ocean to one side and the Los
country on the other, such
a fine scenic attraction that nobody
will consider that he has seen that
country unless he has gone over the
highway.

NATIONAL COMMANDER HERE
CONTINUED from Page u

there has been great activity in Am
erica seeking to destroy our form OF
government. More than six hundred
newspapers have been established
that are printed in foreign languages,
and most of them are teaching the
destruction of the American govern
ment. The Legion stands squarely
opposed to allowing that kind of
thing to go on; it stands in favor
of ferreting out every one of those
people who want to destroy this
government, and deport them. We
are in favor of stopping immigration
until we can absorb and adjust what
we already have; until we can get
all of us employed who are here, and
until we can educate the illiterate

FORMALDEHYDE TREATMENT
IMPORTANT FOR POTATOES

Brookings, S. D., May 17.-Diseased
| potatoes are undesirable for seed, and
such tubers, including even those
which show no signs of disease,
! should be given the formaldehyde or
corrosive sublimate treatment to elm
mate potato disease, suggests DIR. A. 4.
Evans, associate agronomist at State
college. Such treatment usually in
creases the yield, as well as market
condition. Directions for the treat
ment are given by DR.. Evans as fol-
lows:
"If hot formaldehyde is used, mix
one pint of formaldhyde with each so
yallons Of water, heat this solution
to 122 degrees F. This can be done in
a steel tank. Dip the potatoes into
the solution from two and one-half to
three minutes. Remove and cover
with blanket for 80 minutes, cut and
plant. The formaldhyde does not pass
cut of the heating solution to any ex-
tent. IL is advisable to have a guam
tity of boiling solution at hand so that
if the solution i'm the tank is lowered
by immersion, the temperature may
be raised by pouring sufficient guam
itv into the tank to bring it back to
122 degrees. Formaldhyde solution
may be used cold if the infection is
light.
"The corrosive sublimate treat
ment is used by dissolving four
ounces of this chemical in hot water.
1t is then mixed with 80 gallons of
water. The potatoes are immersed
unsacked for n and one-half hours.
The second lot immersed is treated
'or one and three-quarters hours.
The third lot is left in the solution
Tor two hours. This is the reason
the corrosive sublimate is gradually
used up and the solution becomes
weak. 1t must be used in a wooden
as the chemical corrodes
The solution is poison and
be handled carefully"
1t is not good business to plant
scrub seed, or seed which is badly
sprouted. The flatter the potato be-
the higher its stage of develop
usually, the higher the yield,
ess waste in pairing and the more
1t cooks. Choose for seed your
best stock, as good quality seed in
creases the yield.

WINTER KILLED

Examination of many fields over
the country shows severe winterkill-
ing of alfalfa and sweet clover. Some
alfalfa fields that produced abundant
.ly for the past FIVE years are almost
which last year stood knee high un-
til pastured or cut, have failed to
come this spring.
In all probability the main rea-
sons for the loss Of alfalfa are: l.
lack of a hardy variety. 2-too close
cropping Or %pasturing in the fall; 8
lack of fall and winter moisture.
That hardness of variety of alial-
Ca as a factor is evident from several
reports from adjoining farmers who
have fields OF alfalfa with but a fence
between the hardy variety, under
Identical conditions, came through
In good condition, the other is dead.
The cause of sweet clover loss ap-
pears to be largely the lack Of fail
and winter moisture, and the short
age of covering. Pasturing or close
cropping prevented sufficient growth
for winter protection.
Much ~re-seeding of alfalfa and
sweet clover Is being done this spring.
Reports from west of the river indi-
cate that heavy loss, due to winter
killing occurred in that section of the
country. Farmers who have had
sweet clover or alfalfa will plant
them again as Don as possible. Those
whose alfalfa was winter-killed will
be particular in the variety they Sc
lect for re-seeding. Farmers who
contemplate seeding alfalfa will do
well to investigate the hardest varie-
ty.

Canning Season Starts - Rhubarb
fresh from the garden starts the CAP
ming season. and this fruit, in addi-
ton to making fine pies and sauces,
can be canned TO use during the win
ter with ~raisins, oranges, prunes or in
marmalades. These recipes are worth
trying.
Canned Rhubarb-R Remove skin and
cut in one-inch lengths. Put into
sterile jars, cover with water which
has been boiled and cooled. Seal.
When opened for use, sweeten and
cook. You will find that the fruit
tastes like fresh rhubarb.
Rhubarb Buttcr~-Chop 2 quarts rhu-
barb, 2 oranges, " lemon and " ID.
seedless %raisins, or put them through
food grinder. Cook fruits with 2 cups
sugar n hour, or until butter is al
most smooth. Pour into sterile Jars
and seal.
Rhubarb Marmalade-Cut 2 lbs. rhu-
barb in one-inch pieces; boil with "
Id. nutmeats in one cup water until
nuts are soft. Add 1 cup sugar and
2 thinly sliced lemons, from which
seeds are removed. Cook until sy-
rup is thick; seal in sterile fruit Jars.
Black Stockings should always be
washed in blue water as this preserves
the color much longer.
