soon by the Senate farm bloc.
These subjects were discussed eX-
haustively at the first meeting of the
bloc at this session Of Congress, held
Friday night at the home OF Senator
Capper. republican, Kansas, chairman
of the group. Twenty-one senator's,
republicans and democrats were
present.
Senator Capper said yesterday there
was unanimity of opinion that the
question of agricultural aid was per-
haps the most important before Con-
gress. There appeared to be general
Endorsement, he said. of the pro-
posal to repeal the rate section of the
transportation act and to pass the
ernment corporation to buy and sell
farm products.
Favor Norbeck Bill.
Sentiment also was expressed in
favor of the Norbeck bill, which
would provide for government loans
to farmers of the northwest to enable
them to enter the dairying and live
stock business. More aggressive sup
port of the farmers cooperative
movement entered into the discussion
with suggestions that the work of the
Department of Agriculture be broad
ened to assist along that line.
Tax reduction was discussed only
in a general way, much of the talk
centering around reduced freight
rates. Senator Capper said 1t was
recognized that Congress cannot go
far in bringing about reduction of
transportation costs by direct action.
but that helpful changes could be
made in the transportation act par
ticularly by a repeal of the fair re-
turn clause. He added that there
was no suggestion of complete
repeal of the act.
The chairman of the bloc declared
also that there is no hostility to the
railroads and that the necessity for
their prosperity was recognized. He
said, however, that Arm bloc sena-
tors were of the opinion that the
roads had reached the point at which
they could and should carry some of

Wealth i'm Cherries.

GONE time ago the Department of
~ Agriculture initiated a special in
vestigation of the pit of the cherry
and other waste involved in extract
ing it from the ripened fruit 1t was
found that in the commercial end
of the business, namely, the canning
of the fruit for the market, that
fully 1900 tons of pits were thrown
away. In addition. more than 100000
gallons of juice were estimated to
have been spilled at each harvest.
If. while canning, those in charge
of this branch of the industry would
take steps to stop this waste, a very
snug sum indeed would be added to
their pockets, and the Nation as a
whole would be better off
From the last census we learn that
New York State produced in the yea,
recorded 2I1,695 bushels; Michigan,
33s,945 bushels; Wisconsin, Sl,S4e
bushels, and California, SOLO bushels
of cherries. Yet the pits of these one
million one hundred odd thousand
bushels were a total waste
Chemists going carefully into the
matter have ascertained that the pits,
when cracked and crushed, yield q
valuable cattle food equivalent to lin.
seed or cotton seed. This crushing
is done by hydraulic pressure. 4
fatty oil of pleasing flavor is also
thus obtained. This is said TO be
somewhat similar in flavor to sweet
almonds and is a delicacy that human
beings can find ample uses for.
