CONGRESS OPENS
FARM AID DRIVE
Enactment of Legislation Being
Demanded in Both Houses.
Senators Organize.

Washington-A concerted drive for
enactment of real farm relief legisla-
ton before adjournment was launched
in congress. House leaders laid plans
for consideration of such legislation
next week, and at the same time q
group Of senators from western states
agreed unanimously at a luncheon con-
ference to oppose adjournment vigor-
ously until an adequate agricultural
aid measure is passed. After con-
ference with President Coolidge at
the White House, Representative Til
son, the Republican floor leader, an
nounced that the three bills reported
by the agriculture committee, would
be taken up in the house soon. Four
days will be allowed for general
debate, with possibly one or two
night sessions, so that there will be
full opportunity for the membership
to express its views on the administra-
ton corn belt relief and Curtiss-As-
well measures.

Paris Asked To Revise Debt Plan

Observation-Disclosures must revise
its new offer for settlement of its war
debt to this country, the American
debt commission decided. The deci.
sion was reached at the second meet
ing Of the American commission to
study the proposal put forward last
week by French ambassador Berenger.
Secretary H. w. Mellon will confer
with the ambassador before negotia-
tions are resumed. Although France
will be asked to modify it's offer, it
was emphasized by the American COM
mission that the latest discussion
have not been terminated. One Of the
principal bitches is how much France
shall pay at the outset. Mr.. Berenger
proposed initial payment Of $25,000,-
900 annually, but the commission is
understood to desire higher first pay
ments.

FRENCH WAR Debt
IS AGREED UPON
Terms Provide $780, 900, 900
More Than Offer Made
BY Caillaux.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for a set
Element of the $4,O25, 100000 French
war debt was reached by the Amer
lean debt commission and Ambassa-
dor Berenger. Frances latest offer
for a total payment Of $6,S47,674,000
over a 62-year period was received by
the commission and after an hours
consideration it was laid before Pre-
sident Coolidge, who gave it his ap-
prevail. The offer exceeded by more
than $500, 100000 the best proposal Of
the unsuccessful Caillaux mission Of
last summer and its acceptance ended
more than eight months of almost
constant bargaining between repre-
sentatives Of the two countries. The
settlement not only concluded nego-
tiations with Americas second largest
war debtor, but substantially COM
pleted the commissions work of
funding the $1,000, 100000 foreign
world war debt of this nation. Only
1926, 100000 of this amount remains
unfunded, If this agreement is rati-
fed.

New Idea in Control of
Apple Blotch Developed

A new idea In the control OF apple
blotch has been developed at the Pur-
due experiment station.
It is we'll known by all fruit growers
that the blotch disease will produce
cankers very abundantly on the limbs.
Furthermore, these cankers are, Ordf-
narily, perennial in nature, serving
each year as a source Of infection on
the apple tree. The usual recommended
ton for the control Of blotch Is to
spray, two, four and six weeks after
the petals fall. 1t is very evidently
more difficult to control this disease
satisfactorily when these sources Of
Infection are scattered throughout the
tree.
How shall we get rid of the cankers2
A fortunate popularity makes It pos
sible to destroy canker quickly with
out doing the slightest damage to the
tree. The cankerous tissue is only
skin deep, and with a sharp knife one
can readily shave off the brown, dis.
eased bark without penetrating into
the cambium. Such wound needs no
subsequent treatment, but the shay
lngs ought not be left in the orchard,
since they contain the fungus and may
start trouble. This process would prob
ably not be practical for large trees,
but on the younger and smaller trees
It has proved to be a great benefit to
the Indiana fruit growers. 1t Is Of
particular value in a young orchard.
Canker-shaving is best done early In
the spring, during the dormant sea.
son, since the cankers are most easily
seen on the leafless limbs. The re.
moval of this diseased tissue removes
the sources Of the infection which
would start trouble later on.

EARhNQIES

A way to kill chicks; give them
moldy feed. ~. 81
Chicks should be kept on the grow
ing ration until they are well estab-
lfshed physically. ~
Plant one acre of pasture for each
two animal units on the farm. One
COW, one horse, five hogs, seven sheep,
or twice as many Of the young Of each
class, comprises an animal unit.
80
Housing, feeding, breeding and
brooding are the four problems faced
by every poultryman. One Of the I'M
portant rules for securing a profit in
poultry raising is to feed balanced ra-
lions. 80
Ground oats do not make satisfac-
tory feed for. chicks unless the hulls
are sifted out. This is usually too
much trouble and mill feeds in the
shape of bran and middlings can be
purchased cheaper. i
- @sll
In, feeding chicks, never overfeed or
feed an amount so that there Is feed
left that may spoil or become musty.
Success in chicks is in keeping them
growing and developing and this Is
brought about usually by feeding little
and often Of the grain feeds.
