PROTESTS PROPOSED BAN
ON MARRIED TEACHERS
Wcmen's Federation Resents Sug-
gestion of Dismissals From
Schools.

A resolution protesting against the
proposal of William l.. Houston,
member of the Board of Education,
to stop the appointment of married
teachers to positions in the District
public schools and automatically re-
leasing those who are married while
in the service, was adopted yesterday
afternoon by the District Federation
of Women's Clubs. The resolution
was introduced by Mrs. Arthur Deer
heart and adopted after considerable
discussion. 1t urges that more stress
be put on efficiency than whether
teachers are married.
Mr.. Houston refused to permit
discussion of his proposal at a spe-
cial conference of the school board
last night at the Franklin School He
held that the question should be dis
cussed only at a public session of the
board.
When Mr.. Houston presented a
resolution designed to debar the ap-
pointment of married teachers to po-
sitions in the schools at the last
meeting of the board members were
not inclined to vote upon it at that
time. AS a result action was de-
ferred until the next meeting.

Many More Elemental Eggs
Than Any Hen Can Develop

A pullet at maturity has a certain
number Of elemental eggs which may
be developed Counts at the Maine ex-
pertinent station show from 1000 to
$500. More recent investigations show
even greater numbers. There are al
ways great many more elemental
eggs than any hen is capable Of de
yelopIng.
The rapidly with which eggs are
developed will depend upon the hens
Inherited ability to produce eggs and
upon the feed and management of the
flock.
Profits from the flock will depend
upon securing as many eggs as pos
sible during the first couple of years
Of each hens life. In addition to
proper housing and feeding we must:
l. Breed from the best layers.
2. Hatch chicks early so that pub
lets will be ready for winter egg pro
duction.
g. Break broody hens as soon ms
possible and thus avoid long resting
periods.

Vaccination Recommended
for Control of Blackleg

Regardless Of the perfection
achieved in the control of blackleg the
disease continues to exact consider
able toll every year. Treatment of the
sick animals, of course. Is fruitless.
after death the carcasses should be
disposed of by deep burying or, better
still. by burning. The best way to
combat the disease Is by building up
immunity in susceptible animals By
vaccination II should. however, be
remembered that protection is not
built up until after eight TO ten days
after vaccination. When the immunity
or protection is once established, It
continues from fifteen to eighteen
months. Ordinarily calves under six
months and cattle over four years are
not vaccinated. the disease being most
prevalent between these two ages.

Troublesome Weeds
a Menace to Alfalfa

Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricuiture.)
Weeds are, perhaps, the greatest
enemy of the alfalfa crop. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Dodder, which acts as a para
site on alfalfa plants, is very obiec-
tionable in seed-producing districts. It
does not ordinarily give much trouble
in fields that are devoted entirely to
the production of hay, but neverthe-
less there is great prejudice against
seed contaminated with dos1er, and
most states have stringent laws against
the selling of seed containing 1t. 1t is
relatively easy to kill out patches Of
dodder in a hay field.
Other troublesome weeds ere blue
grass and quack- grass in northeastern
United States; crab-grass and Ber-
muda-grass I'm the central and southern
states; and foxtall or wild miIlet in
the Middle West and the great plains.
In the irrigated sections of the West
the wild bafIeys. also known as fox
tail and squirrel-tail grass. are decid-
edly troublesome. as the boards ruin
the first crop of hay for feeding unless
It is cut very early.
Where weeds are troublesome in the
West, wheat is sometimes drilled in
the alfalfa in the fall, and as 1t comes
on early the growth Of weeds is
checked The first cutting " hay the
