THE EDUCATION BILL, BEFORE CONGRESS,
DEMANDED BY NATION

Washington, d. c., March 10, Scottish Rite News
Bureau.)-So many and such potent arguments
have been advanced for the immediate passage by
Congress of the Education Bill, providing for a De-
partment of Education unhampered by the super
vision and administration of the various welfare ac
tivites of the United States Government, and the
need of organization large enough to find repre-
sentation by Secretary in the Presidents Cabinet
that some, who have the cause of education at
heart, and the multiplicity of reasons for this legis-
lation confusing
To these the compact argument set forth by
George D. Strayer of Teachers College, New York,
viii come as an inspiration. Summarizing the bill
and its necessity Mr. Strayer says:
For FIVE years those interested in public educa-
ton throughout the United States have proposed
methods by which the Federal Government may
contribute to the development of more efficient
system of public education. The bill which has
been before Congress, providing department of
education with a secretary in the Presidents Cabi-
net for research and investigation in education and
for federal aid for the purpose of encouraging the
states to meet certain Deficiencies which are com
monty found throughout the Nation has been re-
peatedy Endorsed by this department and by state
district and local educational organizations
During the past month hearings have been held
before both the Senate and the House committees
Possibly the most striking fact in connection with
these hearings the number of laymen represent
ing national organizations who appeared in sup
port Of the measure. Twenty-one organizations
having membership running into the millions, sent
their representatives to Washington to ask that
Congress, through the passage of the education bill
take tie next step in the development of our public
school system
During the period that the education bill has
been before the public, there has been developed
clear recognition of the need for the support Of
fderal agency competent to provide leadership and
to undertake research and investigation that will be
signifcaut for the guidance of those charged with
the responsibility Of administering education in all
OF the states.
We have long been accustomed to the idea of
research undertaken by the Federal Government in
the fields of agriculture, engineering. commerce and
industry. The benefits which have come to all of
the people from these activities are commonly ac-
knowledged Many inquiries should be undertaken
IN education with respect to curricula methods of
teaching and of learning, problems of organization,
administration, and finance the results of which
when made available will contribute in large degree
20 the development Of efficient public school
system

PROPER USE or POISON

There is no reason why livestocl

L. Strand, Of the entomology depart
ment at Montana State College, who
has made a special study OF the ques-
ton.

one pound to kiln a horse. When the
mash is distributed in a field so that
It fays on the ground In great chunks II
may not take horse or a COW long

Poisoned bran mash should be
spread FOR the purpose OF killing grass
hoppers, says Mr.. Strand, and when It
is spread most effectively for this pur-
pose II is not dangerous TO cattle and
horses. The poison should be spread
thinly over the field and II Is both

TO COMBAT CANADIAN THISTLE
REQUIRES CAREFUL ATTENTION

Successful eradication Of Canadian
thistle may be accomplished by fall
lowing but constant attention and
careful work is required. The field
should be carefully plowed in the
spring, with all green vegetation turn
ed under, a jolnter and a drag chain
may be used to assist In this. After
blowing the field should be thoroughly
worked by dlsking and narrowing.
Then at intervals OF about two weeks
the land should be worked with a sharp
blade cultlvator that cuts off all weeds
about two inches below the surface.
If this effort Is followed by a cultivat-
ed crop the next year. any plants that
may have escaped viii be destroyed.
On land not adapted to following.
blowing should be done as growth con-
tinues. In the spring the land should
be plOwed again with repeated cultiva-
tons until time for seeding an inter
tiled crop. Careful and frequent cul-
tivation and the removal OF plants that
escape the cultivator by hand hoeing
viii usually prove effective.

FALL FLOWING ADVISED
FOR SUMMER FALLOW
Leaving Job TIL Late Spring Waste
fuI Of Moisture, Says Aeron.
ony Expert

Fall blowing Is best for land that II
to be summer fallowed but the jof
may be left until early spring with
good results. says Prof. Clyde Mckee,
agronomist of the Montana Expert
ment Station. Since seeding requires
first attention In the spring, blowing
for summer fallow must walt until
the early seeding Is finished. The
montheof May is favorable time for
summer fallow blowing, and 1t should
not be delayed after June 10.
The object should be, in all cases, to
get the land plowed early enough so
as TO get the benefit Of the early spring
rains, to have the soil in such condition
as to allow as great a percentage of
the moisture to soak In as possible.
Late spring blowing after most OF the
rain has fallen is Of little advantage,
and to wait until a heavy weed growth
has been established and then turn II
under Is actually wasteful Of moisture
On ordinary soils blowing should be
from five to seven inches deep and on
light soils four to six inches Is advis-
able. II It is desired to pillow a little
deeper than usual or to turn up little
more of the subsoil, It Is a good time
to do 1t when blowing for summer fall
low. This Is also good time TO apply
a light application Of barnyard ma
nure. providing the manure Is well
rotted. Spread the manure lightly on
the surface and turn it under when
blowing.
Spring blowing should be followed
Immediately by narrowing II the soil 4
is moist as this will prevent baking
and the formation OF Jumps. Immedi-
ate packing Of the soil is unnecessary
If the soil pulverizes readily and is In
good filth as It Is plowed, as rains and
the work done on the soil during the
season will firm the seed-bed suffi-
GENTLY. Packing is recommended only
after delayed spring blowing or where
the soil does not break up properly
when blowing and large air spaces are
left In the soil.
