who will be the chairman of the
subcommittee on the District budget
of the House appropriations commit
tee in the next Congress? Repre-
sentative Charles r. Davis of Min
nesota, the veteran member of the
appropriations committee, who has
for four years been chairman of the
District subcommittee under the new
budget system and who is now in
charge of hearings on the District
appropriation bill for the next fiscal
year, will not be in the Sixty-ninth
Congress.
With Representative Davis gone,
Representative George Holden Tink-
ham of Massachusetts, will be in line
for tho Craftsmanship under the Sc
nLority rule. AS Representative Tink-
ham has asked to be relieved of duty
on the District subcommittee this
year, and Representative Frank Muir
ply of Ohio has been serving in his
stead, there are strong indications
that Representative Tinkham Will not
care to assume the onerous work of
handling the District appropriation
hearings and drafting the supply bill
for the National Capital.
Selection by Seniority.
While it is certain that Representa-
tive Tinkham can have this chair
manShip if he wants il. it is equally
certain that in selecting Representa-
tive Davis successor as chairman the
veteran members of the appropria-
fions committee will be considered
fn order of seniority, whether they
have ever served on the District sub
committee or not.
Representative William S. Ware of
Pennsylvania will undoubtedly be
Isl hn ha
cancy, but judging from his attitude
in the past in declining positions Of
fered him by Chairman Madden of
the appropriations committee, 1t is
not at all likely that Mr.. Ware will
serve as District chairman.
Next in line will be Representative
Edward II. Wason of New Hampshire
The friends of the District will strongly
urge preventative Wason TO take
the District Craftsmanship. He is a
careful, dependable man. with excel
lent business judgement, and with
him as chairman the District would
be assured of Conscientious considera-
ton of the real needs of the District
and a sympathetic desire to make ap-
preparations cover such needs.
Those who have had an oppor-
tunity to observe at close range Rep
resentative Wason' - committee work
are certain that he would make an
ideal chairman for the District sub
committee.
The next probable choice would be
Representative Frank Murphy of
Ohio, as he is senior on the appro-
priations committee to Representa-
tive Frank II. Funk of Illinois. al
though the latter has had longer
service on the District subcom-
mittee.
With Representative Wason as
chairman and Representatives Funk,
Murphy and AyreS of Kansas CDemo-
cratl the District would have about
the best subcommittee it ever had to
draft the annual supply bill.

PL]\IL. Try
COMFORTABLE HENS
ALWAYS LAY WE'LL

Do everything you can to make
your hens comfortable. If their health
and vitality are kept at the highest
level, it will add many eggs to your
basket. If your hens are worried by
lice and mites, then they cannot lay
the maximum number of eggs An
ounce of prevention just now is worth
a pound of cure later on.
This is good poultry gospel, accord
ing to d. HI. Hall, extension poultry
specialist, who warns uS that with the
warm weather coming on we will have
more trouble with lice and mites than
we had during the cooler months, and
that everybody should take extra pre-
caution at this time Of the year to
get rid of these parasites.
Mites can be controlled by spray
ing the house with whitewash to
which has been added enough dis
infectant to make a per cent Solu-
ton. A good coal-tar product, such
as creosote or taroleum, may be used
as a disinfectant. Carbolic acid is
also good. In spraying the house be
sure to spray every square inch OF
surface. If you miss a few mites,
then you will have multitude to deal
with the following week. 1t is also a
good idea to paint the perch poles
with mixture of equal parts of kero-
sene and used engine oil.
Lice are found on the individual
hens They Snand their entire life
on the body, laying their eggs and
sticking them to the feathers in small
colonies. they can be found in the
fluff feathers and under the wings
No hen will go about her business Of
producing eggs with any degree of
efficiency with lice covering her body.
The best method of getting rid Of lice
is by busting with good insect pow
der: Sodium fiuoride is good para
site killer. Take a pinch of sodium
f1uoride and dust tt into the fluff
feathers, under each wing, on the
neck, back and body of the fowl.
Work the powder down into the feath-
ers to the skin. Another good powder
can be made from one pound of snuff
and one-half pound of sulphur mixed
with one gallon of road dust or ashes.
1t is a good idea to build dust box
and allow each hen to dust herself.
Look over the hens in about ten
days to see if all the lice were killed,
and if necessary give them another
good busting.

Pure Bred Live
Stock in Favor
Experience of Owners Who
Are in Position to Make
Comparison.

prepares by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A report just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture on
the progress of the better sires-
better stock campaign for the improve
ment of domestic animals states
briefly why pure bred animals excel
other kinds. The information is
based on the average experience of
hundreds of stock owners who have
been in position to make compari-
sons. 1t thus points to the results
which other farmers who are consid-
ering the Improvement of their live
stock may expect from pure bred sires
and also from the combined use Of
pure bred sires and pure bred dams.
Summary of Points.
Following is a summary of the
points in which pure breds excel:
Based on utility alone, pure bred
live stock has an earning power from
a third to one-half greater than scrub
stock. Pure breds excel other stock
in Superiority and uniformity in con-
formation and type, greater sale value,
early maturity and economy in the
conversion of feed into meat, milk,
wool and work
Surplus pure breds are salable at
cases.
The progeny of pure bred sires has
practically so per cent greater sale
value than the progeny of sires not
pure bred
Better breeding, combined with
proper and adequate feed, practically
prevents runty live stock, of which
the average farm has about per
cent.
Well-bred beef cattle, sheep and
swine yield from to 10 per cent more
meat than inferior animals Of the
same live weight, and the meat is Of
better quality.
Profitable Use of Feed.
Improved live stock makes about 40
per cent more profitable use of feed
than common stock Pure breds excel
grades, and grades excel scrubs.
The use of pure bred sires leads to
the ownership and use Of fully six
times as many pure bred female ami
mails.
The foregoing brief conclusions are
based on thorough analyses of large
numbers of reports. The movement
for better live stock which the depart
ment is conducting, in cooperation
with the various states, has resulted
in a gradually increasing recognition
of the many points in which well-bred
animals are superior to ordinary i've
stock. The study and control of ami
NAL breeding are among the most inn
portant and practical means of maxi
ing live stock enterprises more profit
able to farmers and also of improving
the quality of meats.

Crops to Follow Early
Vegetables in Garden

Spinach, mustard, lettuce and rad
ishes are off the ground early and the
ground is released for other crops, but
we should plant something that will
not be troubled by the insect pests that
are common to any of these. A second
planting OF beets will be good for this
purpose, for the aphis is the worst
pest that is likely to be on these early
vegetables and the beets will not be
troubled After the bean crop is
picked follow it with sweet corn,
planting even before the beans are off,
After any crop coming off in early
June plant rutabagas, and in July
plant turnips, Chinese cabbage, winter
radishes, or set any of the midsum-
mer cabbages to head in the fall. The
potatoes may be dug in July and fol-
lowed with sweet corn Of an early
variety, which would be planted ear
lier and be large enough to permit the
potato digging to serve as cultiva-
tion.

Barley Is Superior for
Fattening Farm Stock

Barley Is unsurpassed as nurse crop
for clovers and alfalfa; it Is better
feed than oats for fattening hogs,
sheep and cattle; and since it is one
of the best substitutes for corn, it's
early maturing quality will make this
grain doubly valuable in a short-corn
summer.
The early maturing quality of bar
ley gives it distinct advantage over
oats. This is especially true during the
present corn shortage. The grain can
be threshed about the same time as
wheat, eliminating two threshings and
making available midsummer grain
feed.
Barley is decidedly superior to late
oats as nurse crop for clovers and
alfalfa because it shades the ground
less, and, by its early maturity, leaves
more moisture in the ground for the
young clover.
Chiefly because of it's lower per-
centage of hulls, barley is better
feed than oats for fattening hogs,
sheep and cattle. Barley contains more
carbohydrates than either wheat or
oats, has less fat, and contains only
one-third as much crude fiber as oats,

Potatoes throughout the United

,ers that potatoes run out" says Pro-
fessor Bolley of the North Dakota
College of Agriculture.
The best experts in the potato bust
ness also admit that potatoes often
do run out" become quite worthless
as to type, etc. These deterioration
diseases which are now being studied
have always existed, but were not
recognized. They are of such nature
that under ordinary methods of Gull
tivation and handling, potatoes may
he expected to run out. We are, how
ever, quite hopeful that potatoes can
be kept from running out.

FARM, NOTES,

Break land as early as possible.
Purchase fertilizers before planting
time.
Procure legume seed for summer
planting.
Mixing Of fertilizers is also like
charity: 1t should begin at home.
1t pays to treat the seed oats for
smut. Are you planning to do it?
A soil without legumes is as "unful-
filed" as an orchard without bees.
The county farm agent is your farm
trouble shooter" Tell him what to
aim at on your farm.
Wouldn't you encourage a boy to
spend his spare time in the. develop
ment of lamb, pig or calf?
1t takes manure to make good pota-
toes, so don't forget the potato patch
when you are cleaning the stables.
If one horse carries his head too
high or drives Aore freely than his
mate, adjusting the coupling reins
will make a difference.
Every producer should remember
that quality counts and is paid for in
the markets final analysis. Sooner or
later the consumer pays for quality
and some seller gets the quality price.
This hint ought to make money for
the farmer who will set it to going on
his place

INSURE ALFALFACR0P
BY ANNUAL SEEDLINGS

Wisconsin farmers must rely upon
annual seedlings to maintain their
needed alfalfa acreage.
L. f. GRADER, alfalfa specialist at
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture,
is telling that new seedlings of alfalfa
are much harder and they stand the
winter better. He insists that farmers
make a mistake when they depend
upon their old seedlings for hay the
coming summer. Due to the shortage
Of snow this winter and the alternate
freezing and thaWing there are great
possibilities of Wisconsin losing many
acres of her valued crop. If winter
killing is extensive in Wisconsin the
majority of the fields next summer
will be fields of new alfalfa. Unfor-
tunateE not enough new fields are
planted in Wisconsin to supply any
where near the needed amount of hay.
The winter of 1922 had very much
in common with the past winter. Ice
sheets destroyed over 10000 acres of
old stands Of alfalfa in the southern
Wisconsin counties. For a period of
four years prior to 1922 there had
been little winter-killing of alfalfa. AS,
result farmers depended quite large
ly on their old stands for hay in 1923.
There was a great shortage of alfalfa
hay the next year due to the loss of
the 10000 acres. Since these losses
seem to come about every three years
farmers should keep new seedlings Of
alfalfa coming along rather than de-
pending entirely on their old stands,
GRADER advises.
Wisconsin needs a milffon acres Of
alfalfa, according to estimate of the
college crop specialists. Just because
old seedlings yielded well last year is
no reason why new fields should not
be started this year. Wisconsin needs
new seedlings to protect her, farmers
and to maintain her feed supply. New
seedlings and hardy seed are combi-
nation that will protect Wisconsin
from a possible alfalfa shortage.
Success with alfalfa can be made
doubly sure through the use of Grimm
alfalfa Fields of Grimm are much
more resistant to winter-killing. New
seedlings of Grimm are practically
safe. GRADER suggests that Wisconsin
farmers tie more and more to alfalfa
as the source of their feed supply.
When the barn is filled with alfalfa
hay there is no need of buying high
priced protein concentrates. Make
dairying more profitable by insuring a
supply of alfalfa hay through the fire.
uuent planting of new fields, is Grab
er's earnest request.
