LAWMAKERS FAVOR|NG
ONE . SIX-YEAR TERM
IN PRESIDENTS JOB
NEA Poll of Congressman Shows
lis Favor and 68 Oppose
Suggestion ot

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20
(By NEA Service)-Limit the
president of the United States to
one terml
One, term, preferably of six
years duration, with no posi-
bility of reelection.
Largely because of the death
of President Harding, this pro-
posal, which has been up be-
fore, has gathered more momen-
tum. And today strong SEN
timent exists in the 68th Con-
gress, which has just conven-
ed, to amend the constitution
and bring about this change in
our presidential election laws.
On the basis of aareferendum
lust completed for the Times
Recorder and other NEA news
papers, large majority OF the
new congress seem to favor the
measure.
Letters were written, in the
Times-Recorder poll, to every sena-
tor and every representative IN the
United States. Replies were re-
ceived from 206.
And this is the result:
For the one-term amendment
115.
Against the amendment-68.
Nnon-committal or undecided
%.
Various reasons have been CIV
en- in behalf of this measure
among them tina it would make the
the president Independent Of poll
tics by relieving him of another
campaign; that a six-year term
would give the executive more time
for a good job; that the unlimited
right of reelection is dangerous.
But
Beneath the strain of executive
responsibility, worry and man
killing regimen, Warren Harding
broke Without warning. His tragic
end plunged an entire nation IN
mourning and brought forth the
question
How shall we save our presi-
dents?
So today, and because President
Harding collapsed at the time
plans were being made for his next
campaign, it is argued that free
ing presidents of the worry and the
strain, the politics and the health
SCATTERING campaigning of a re-eiec-
ton, will leave them free to pay
more attention to their real work
and their health.
Majority in Favor.
Will the change be made?, At
least the effort will be made, for
Senator William J. Harris, who in
troduced the joint resolution in the
last Congress, will bring it up again.
Il plan to offer this same amend
ment in the 68th Congress and urge
action before the Senate Judiciary
Committee" said Harris.

move the chief executive from the
present field of politics in cam

make his tenure certain; it might

down under the strain of work.
There is nothing new in the
proposition as it has been discussed
for many years, and many times
legislation has been offered in
Congress-"
On the basis of the 1873 votes
cast in the Times Recorder poll, it
is apparent that majority in favor
is almost large enough for the two
thirds vote necessary to amend the
constitution. A typical cross-sec
ton of Congress is represented in

Practical Suggestions
on Storage of Potatoes

The purpose of storage is to hold
potatoes in a marketable condition un-
til they are in demand by the con
sumner In order that this be done,
potatoes must be protected from ex-
IRENE heat and cold, from excessive
moisture, and from light. If once
frozen, potatoes are unfit for market.
However, they should be stored at a
temperature sufficiently low to pre-
VEN termination, and to hold fungus
growth in check. Potatoes are not as
perishable as apples. A temperature
of 40 degrees f. will keep potatoes in
good condition, except that dry rot in
lection may occur. For this reason 1t
is best to store potatoes nj n tempera-
ture of 80 or Sc degrees F. The pres
ence of light will seriously lnjure the
quality of potatoes.

AT the present time the acreage of

now expended in wheat production
to be devoted to the production of

Storing Seed Corn So 1t
Will Dry Out Thoroughly

When Sec corn has been selected
In the field, the ears will contain a
large amount Of moisture, and If sub
jected to severe cold weather before
the ear dries out, termination will be
destroyed. The best way to handle
the iced is to take the ears that have
been selected to the barn or granary
and store them so they will dry out as
quickly as possible and not be SUBJ
jected to severe cold weather. The
best method OF storing this seed will
be so hat Zach ear has free clrcula-
ton of air around 1t. This may be
done by tying with string or Irvine on
lath racks or by a number of other
methods.
In the winter after the corn Is
thoroughly dried out and the farmer
has more time. he should resort his
field-selected seed.

Hogs Get Little Benefit
From Undigested Grain

Some people argue that hogs will get
the benefit from unmolstened and I'M
dlgested grain which passes thro"NsS
animals. 1t would appear that this
logic is no better than to contend that
the thrcshlng machine needs no special
adjusting because, after all, the flock
Of hens will get the grain which passes
out the wind stacker. Everyone knows
that when grain becomes wet and al
lowed to become stale, In case of hogs
following stock, the quality Of the
grain for feeding Is much reduced.
1t Is trLe that calves several month";

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Hungarian yetch is one of the many
promising forage crops introduced in
the United States by the Department
of Agriculture. First importations of
seed were made in 1905, but 1t was not
until 1912 that the strain being de-
velOped at the present time was
brought over from France. The crop
has been most extensively tested in the
Pacific Coast states, where 1t is espe-
cially well adapted, but it has also done
well in experimental tests in the
Southern states. Its winter hardness,
resistance to aphids, good seed habits,
and adaptation to poorly drained lands
make 1t desirable for extended trial
throughout the Cotton Belt the depart
ment believes.
Thrives on Wet Soil.
Hungarian vetch is much less why
than common vetch or hairy vetch.
One of its most striking character
lstics is its ability to grow OF heavy
lands and still produce a fair crop.
While there have been no feeding tests
to determine the relative value Of Hun
garian vetch as compared to other
vetches and hays, dairy COWS ut the
experimental station at Corvallis, Ore,
have consumed it readily. The crop
also makes a good pasture and is val
liable as n green manure crop.
Best Time for Sowing.
Hungarian vetch should be own in
the fall in all regions having mild
winter conditions. In regions having
w winters. however, fall planting
is impractical n paintings made as
early in the spring as the ground can
be worked will give the best results.
Seed is being produced in western Ore
gon, and at present this is h only
place where 1t is being grown The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has at present none of this seed
for general distribution.

Most Effective Remedy
for Intestinal Worms

From our experimental work, we
have found the best treatment for
worms is as follows: Make up a wet
mash Of bran or some similar ground
feed and into this put some ordinary
smoking tobacco; that is, the finely
ground tobacco. This should be used
at the rate of a pound to M hundred
birds. Before giving the wet mash to
the birds. l would starve them for a
feeding or two, so that they will be
sure to consume the mash. l would
give two feelings, n each on sue
cessive days and hen on the third
day, follow this with some epson salts,
also dissolved and mixed in with n
wet mash, at the rate of II pound Of
salts to one hundred birds. We have
found this to be the most effective
treatment for intestinal worms-H.
