COALITION HITS

The Democratic Insurgenf coali-

long range attack unon the Admin
istratiOn. The Republican tariff
having fIuttered into the Senate
as dove Of peace. the Democrats

Under this authorization, a special

OF Senator Norris, that President
Coolidge sought to influence the de-

Norris made specific charge that
the President tried to obtain pre-
dated resignation from Conlmis
sfoner David J. Lewis, OF Maryland,
before appointing him to the com
mission.
With rufnors persisting that the
COMMITTEES may even go So far a.
to invite the President himself ~
q witness or at least to subpoena
official White House correspondence
relating to the tariff, Democratic
chieftains looked upon the inquiry
as an issue. for the 1928 presi-
Dental campaign.
Revival Of the Democratic-I nsur-
gent coalition came as distinct
surprise to Administration leaders.
It was the first time In the Sixty
ninth Congress that the Democrats
have got behind anything suggested
by q Progressive Republican. In
this instance Senator Norris de-
manded the investigation and Sena.

minority floor leader, sponsored the

Moderate Pruning Best
in All Fruit Orchards

If you're an extremist, don't try to
prune any fruit trees. No pruning at
all is one extreme; pruning too much
is the other. Both are Improbable,
experienced fruit growers will testify.
The middle course Is best.
Young trees thrive on light pruning.
Bearing trees require more and more
pruning as they get older.
In pruning apple trees one aim is
to give all the branches breathing
space and sunlight The lower limbs
and spurs won't develop and bear with
out sunlight.
Thin out by pruning the outer and
upper portions of the tree, but do not
prune to leave large holes that allow
direct sunlight to strike large branches
and induce sun scald cankers. Con-
fine most Of the cutting to small
branches, well distributed, taking out
large branches only where crowding
exists, or to keep trees from getting
too tall.
AS peach trees come into heavy
bearing begin pruning for an open
center. Keep tall branches cut back
to strong laterals, and where neces-
sary do additional heading back on
these laterals. Fruit is borne on one.

The largest increase in the produc-

Total production of eggs in 1926

Worms Infest the Roots
of Cucumber or Melons

The worms that infest the roots of
cucumbers and melons are the larvae
Of the striped cucumber or melon
beetle. They are slender white worms
that burrow into the roots and under
ground stems. The adult beetles eat
the foliage. These beetles carry the
bacteria wilt disease which is clso
very injurious to cucumbers. To con-
troll these insects. dust the plant with
mixture made Of ] pound calcium
arsenate and 20 pounds gypsum or
land plaster. Apply this mixture first
when the plants come through the
ground and repeat often enough to
maintain coating on the foliage for
three or four weeks.

Salt Is necessary for swine as for

Improper feeding and not infection

money for 1t to secure an animal with
satisfactory breeding and individuality,
remembering that the better bred bulls,
with high production records are
scarce. The testing of cows is very
costly and for this reason many good
COW are not developed, therefore this
