BONUS LOANS

Congress is struggling with the
proposition of making loans through
the Veterans Bureau at Washington,
at 6 per cent interest. This legisla-
ton is being crowded through be-
cause so many of the banks of the
country are refusing to take the SOL
diers' notes.

Rotation Benefits

Crop rotation is beneficial IN a
number of ways. 1t aids in control
ling weeds and certain crop pests
and diseases, and may render man
ure and chemical fertilizers more et-
fective. 1t increases the soil supply
of organic matter and nitrogen, i'm
proves tilth, and conserves the soil
reserve of plant nutrients. Further
more. the different crops in the ro-
tation may in themselves exert ben
eficial effects on those which fol-
low.

Lime for Soils

Agricultural lime is used to i'm
prove acid soils. 1t includes ground
or pulverized limestone, shells, mar
BILE, and lump lime, air-slacked lime
quick lime, mari, refuse lime, etc.
The best form to use is that mater
ial which is finely divided and in
which a farmer can get the greatest
quantity of lime carbonate equiva-
lent for a dollar. Lime improves an
acid soil in other ways than by sup
plying lime to crops. When a soil is
poor in lime it is difficult to grow
crops that are heavy feeders on
lime, as alfalfa, red clover, and
sweet clover. Detailed information
relative to lining soils may be OBJ
tanned from State Agricultural Col
leges, County Agricultural Agents,
or the United States Department OF
Agriculture.

Pruning

In commercial orchards where
much pruning is necessary it is
commonly done throughout the win
ter. whenever the weather condi-
tions are suitable for working in the
orchard. Where it is possible to Sc
lect the time, probably a little While
before growth is renewed in the
spring is desirable, as only a short
period elapses then before growth Is
resumed and healing begins. In gen
eral pruning during the dormant
season is advised.

four hearts but whatever he does is
guess work, and may cause a big loss
The hand is certainly a good argument
for those who advocate the double of q
three bid as an informatory double but
it is just as easy to find other hands to
prove the contrary. The hand is given
as an illustration of a we'll known con
vention and to bring out the differing
viewpoints. 1t is a close question but
whatever you decide to do under such
circumstances stick to it and inform
your partners of what you are doing

Scarifed Seed

Scarifed sweet clover seed is that
which has been run through a
scratching machine to break the
hard seed coat so that the seed can
absorb moisture and germinate
more readily, according to the Uni

ing between March Is and April Is
but unscarifie ed seed for earlier

Cream intended for whipping pur-
poses should contain at least 80 per
cent butterfat. Either raw or pas

On extremely poor land, cowpeas
will make better growth than soy
beans. Soybeans have a wider use
than cowpeas, are richer feed,
more easily cured for hay or har-
vested for seed, and yield decidedly
more seed than cowpeas.
Even at ordinary temperatures
gasoline gives off a very explosive
vapor, the vapor from a single pint
rendering the air in an ordinary
sized roomexplosive. Whenever it is
used indoors for cleaning. it is i'm
portant that there be no fire in the
room and that the doors and wind
ows be open so the vapor may es-
cape. Often some cleaning agent
that will not take fire can be used
as satisfactorily as gasoline.

In any discussion as to the inform
atory doubles, there is usually an agree
ment that double of an original bid of
one or two in a suit is an informatory
double and requires a bid from partner.
A double of an original bid of three in
suit, however, means an informatory
double to some players and business
double to others. According to the
generally accepted rule, double of an
original suit bid of one, two or three is
an informatory double but there are
many very good players who doubt the
value of this rule when applied to the
value of a bid of three. They claim that
it is so seldom of any value that it
should be eliminated as an informatory
double and maintain that a double Of
three should always be regarded as a
business double. The writer has fire.
quently stated his opinion that such a
double is on the border line but inclines
to believe that the better result is OBJ
tanned by regarding it as a business
double. The following hand, however,
happens to be one where the inform
atory double would have worked beau
tifully:

The three day session or the Epis-
copal convention Of the diocese of
Easton, Nd, assembled at Princess
Anne, Md, on Monday. Over 100
guest members, lay delegates and
clergy heard the annual address of Rev
George w. Davenport, Bishop of Eas-
ton, in which he reviewed accomplish
ments of the diocese during the past
year. At the session this morning a
resolution from the Protestant Epis-
copal Laymen's Association of Kent
county was presented, which would
make the name of the diocese "Dio-
cese of the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land" in order to avoid confusion by
Eastern Shore men, who have been
assuming that the present name ap-
piled merely to the town of Easton.
The matter was laid aside for further
discussion.

poems or to sing of the Revolution in
ballad and verse. The staccato pat
tern of his art, like a drum, served
to whip tired emotions into activity,
to add strength and pungency to
mass appeals. In the realm of the
theatre there sprang into being the
revolutionary satire of the workers

cult theatre, and later the Living
Newspaper" of the "Blue Blouses"-
half cabaret shows, f-"Chauve
Souris', given by troupes of actors
who toured the factories and workers
clubs, illuminating and explaining the
topics of the day in verse and song
and ballet. Art was used for direct
and immediate ends; and what this
early work (Which was often crude
and hasty) lacked in form and finish,
it gained in vitality, in originality
and in riot of color and rhythm.
Moreover, it was close to the masses
and was direct product of their own
mass experiences.
