GENERAL APATHY, whose pres
ence has been noted in past cam
paigns is reported as being in al
most entire command of the voters
at the present time. Here we are
within sling shot reach of the NO
vember election, and it is agreed
that politics is about the last thing
being discussed. True, the world ser
les has run across our VISION ana
even during the national campaign
of 1924 the ball sluggers came close
temporarily at least to putting the
noliticians out of the picture, but
this year, it is reported the lack OF
interest is greater than ever.
The trouble is we are so blamed
prosperous, in the average at least
that many of the good people have
lost all interest in political activi-
ties. In addition, what with jazz
movies. orchestras, bands, bathing
beauty contests, parachute jumps
and stock market gyrations, we have
been fed on such highly seasoned
food that the homely virtues OF our
government fail to interest US. We
are having prohibition debate
which at times touches fever heat
bnt it is not countrywide. Massa-
chusetts Democrats adopt a wiring
ing-wet platform, hut Ne% Hamp-
shire Democrats declare exultingly
for a dry. New York citizens are
yelling for and against modification
of the Volstead Act, but on the Pa
cific Coast, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike, are demand strict en-
forcement.
What the campaign is lacking IS
hair-raising issues generally under
stood. The chiefs in both political
camps are seriously distressed over
the situation as they find it. Today
a substantial prize awaits the mir
acle-worker who can instill enthus-
iasm and a desire to vote into the
citizens at large. The other alterna-
tive is for us to adopt the Australian
and New Zealand laws, to penallze
non-voters with cash fine.

THE CAMPAIGN now being waged
is not without it's flashes of humor.
The Democrats have recently issued
an economy appeal which is worthy
of the pen of the shade of Mark
Twain. It is a warning to the people
of the country that for the purpose
of real economy in governmental ex-
penditures they should elect a DEM
ocratic congress. The Democrats, the
statement declares, are the real
economists, the real money savers.
Those Of us who have been
through Democratic administrations
can remember times, when eXpend1-
lures were curtailed, but the reason
for the curtailment was that the
Democratic financial control, and
tariff mal-administration, had Great
ed a situation where we did not
spend money because we did not
have it. On the other hand it has
long been notorious that no red rag
ever excited bull the way surplus
incites the Democrats in power to a
wild spending debauch.

Heavy Tree Losses Laid
to Many Kinds of Bugs

There are 100000 kinds of bugs
preying on the trees Of this country.
They cause an annual loss of millions
and but for the song birds would more
than double the cost Of their depreda-
tons.
Certain experts say that the loss
due to the ravages Of the insects is
far greater than the loss due to forest
fires. In a single section of Oregon
these pests destroyed enough trees to
build 5000 homes, costing $4,000
each.
Pine beetles, borers, timber worms
and various kinds of moths and flies
that leave eggs on the leaves are to be
eradicated If man Is to win in his IN
equal fight.
Bark beetles have killed many
spruce In the Adirondacks. The larch
has become a victim of the sawfly.
The pine beetle has laid waste the
lodge poles Of the beautiful Yosemite
national forest and many other sec
tons of the Rocky mountains and
western forests.
Protection Of our birds Is a phase
Of forest protection that must not be
overlooked.

BYRD FLIES over

Plane Covers 1900 Miles From

discoverer of the north pole, con-
sumed eight months in negotiating by

His giant three-motored airplane
carried him safely over wastes which
Amundsen last year pronounced I'M
safe for airplane flights, and the dis.
lance travelled, roughly 1900 miles,
was equal to more than a months
mushing in the Arctic under the most
ideal conditions for dog teams.
Commander Byrd left Kings Bay at
1915 o'clock, and returned safely at
APO o'clock. Byrd was accompanied
on his flight by Floyd Bennett. chief
petty officer in the naval air service.
The entire population of Kings Bay
turned out to welcome the Americans
on their return. Captain Amundsen,

their airship Norge, on which they
plan a similar flight, congratulated
Commander Byrd upon his descent.

BRITISH GENERAL
STRIKE is ENDED
Termination of General WaIkout
Declared Absolutely Uncondi-

London-The great British general
strike has been called of. Announce
ment of the settlement was made from
Downing street, where the general
council of the Trades Union Congress
met Premier Baldwin and his cabinet.
It is authoritatively stated that the
termination of the general strike was
absolutely unconditional. 1t Is under
stood that neither the minters' atti-
tude nor the effect upon the miners
strike was mentioned in the 80 min
ute interview between the general
council OF the Trades Union Congress
and the cabinet in Downing street.
Telegraphic instructions calling on
the strike were being sent to the I'M
ions through out the country by
the leaders. This action was taken.
Chairman Arthur Pugh said, in order
to enable resumption Of the negotia-
lions for settlement of the miners
grievances, which negotiations the
government had declared could not
be resumed while the general strike
lasted. The Trades Union Congress
forthwith dispatched kilograms to this
effect to the affiliated unions through
out the country.

Penn State Earliana Is
Most Profitable Tomato

Producing 500 worth Of tomatoes
from LOO plants is the new record of
the Penn State Earliana variety. A
central Pennsylvania grower recently
sent this information to the depart
ment of horticulture Of the Pennsyl.
vania State college, which developed
the Penn State Earliana.
In growing his large crop the seed
was sowed in the hotbed March 8. The
plants were transplanted twice, and
were set in the open ground May 10,
three by three and one-hslf feet apart.
On July ii the first fruit was picked,
and picking continued up to July 30.
"Earliana for an early tomato is
the money-maker for me-" this gar
dener testifies.

Improved Seed Corn
Will Swell Profits
More Bushels Can Be Grown
With Same Labor.

Use Of improved strains OF corn Is q
big factor In efficient and profitable
corn production, for when such strains
are used more bushels Of corn can be
grown with the same capital and labor,
thus lowering the cost per bushel and
swelling the growers profits, G. M.
Woodwork, chief Of plant breeding at
the college Of agriculture, University
OF Illinois, points out.
THE discovery Of disease-resistant
strains Is the only permanent means
or control Of plant diseases. The
growing Of such resistant strains not
only reduces losses from the diseases
themselves, but also entails no cost
for material and labor in seed treat
ment. The same holds true for strains
resistant to insect attacks. There Is an
added advantage from the standpoint
Of quality Of product. Resistant
strains produce more sound grain than
susceptible strains, and there Is often
q premium in price on this account.
Harvesting and threshing costs are
high. How may they be reduced7
Types that stand erect throughout the
har, est period are to be preferred be-
cause practically all the grain can be
gathered with less trouble, expense
and loss Of grain. In corn, this is prob
ably more important than for other
grain crops, particularly when harvest
ing machinery is used. On account
Of increasing labor costs more de-
pendence is being placed on machinery.
Improved strains may be said, in gen.
eral, to make the wider use Of ma
chinery possible and practicable, and
hence from this standpoint, also, they
constitute factor in efficient produc-
ton"

Cultivating Alfalfa to
DESTROY Noxious Plants

The question Of cultivating alfalfa
sod has been much debated in recent
years, and some careful experiments
have been conducted to determine It's
value. It is now considered doubtful
If cultivation actually increases the
yield of alfalfa or thickens the stand,
or kills out grass and weeds in any
amount sufficient to justify the opera
ton. The most important cultivation
that alfalfa receives is before the
seed is put into the ground, when the
soil is thoroughly cleaned and thor
oughly prepared.

Teak Has High Place

Famous throughout the world for its
amazing durability, teak wood Is said
to be the most useful of all woods. In
the old cave temples of western India,
says the National Geographic Maya
zine, teak beams have been found SOL
Id and sound, which must have been
put in place 1000 years ago. Once sea-
soned, 1t does not warp or split.
Unlike oak, teak will not decay
when it comes in contact with nails,
and the white ants. enemies Of most
other woods, will not eat holes in the
teak beams. Teak Is raised on many
plantations Of the Malay peninsula to
produce lumber for use In railway
coaches, the interior finish Of steam
ers, in furniture and wherever a hard,
durable wood capable Of taking a bril-
liant polish Is desired.

Cutworms Are Likely to
<. Be Troublesome in Sod

Cutworms are likely to be trouble
some in sod land. 1t Is safer to plant
q grain crop on such land than corn
because the larger number Of plants
will not show the injury so much as
the fewer corn plants. Fall blowing
and early spring cultivation are help
full In destroying cutwOrms. Fell
blowing causes many Of them to be
killed by frost and spring cultivation
keeps weeds from growing and helps ia
starve them out. Late planting Is also
helpful as the worms do most Of their
damage before June 1 to June Is.
