To Start Signature Drive.
The conference was addressed by
Bert Miller, organization secretary
IF District 2, who spoke on the pro-
gram of the Party, and Rebecca
Grecht, state campaign manager,
who reported on the signature drive
and the problems of organization.
It was decided to begin the sigma
ture campaign Immediately. The
services of sympathizers will be en-
listed in every section. Various
headquarters will be established in
each assembly district where candi-
dates have been nominated, from
which the drive will be conducted.
All Sections of Workingclass.
Special emphasis was laid on the
need Of reaching workers in shops,
the mobilization of all left wing
forces for the campaign in the unions
and unorganized factories, and the
problem of reaching the workers in
language, fraternal and other labor
bodies. The decision to organize
campaign committees in every indus
try and in all language organizations
met with hearty support.

in addition to the charge of deser-
tion from the U. S. army, which the
young vice president of the Textile
Mills Committee, John Porter, is
facing, it is now learned that the
army authorities are planning to
weave around him net of numer-
Gus other charges by which they hope
to sentence this militant worker to
the maximum penalty of 80 years
imprisonment. These charges are:
participation in a strike, activity on
the picket lines, and civil arrests in
connection with these activities.
Others Jailed.
While civil strike leaders are also
being jailed for similar activities
here, mere participation in strike
while under army jurisdiction, is
punishable by a life term in prison
as maximum sentence.
More facts are being brought out
to show with what premeditated VI
ciousness the mill owners planned to
get rid Of Porter. This was done in
SO open a manner that patrolmen on
the picket line threatened Porter
three times that the federal authori-
ties would be notified of the fact
that he was deserter, if he didn't

Porter in prison, with life term
staring him in the face, answers this
with the same militancy as was his
answer to the demand of police that
he quit strike activities, according to

HOUSTON, June 29.-Joseph T.

Houston convention as vice-presiden-

was named fourteen hours earlier In
a cut and dried program exceeded for

Nothing here failed to take place
as expected, from the staged public
statements of endorsement by Wall
Street spokesmen to the switching of

Of Smith. Both facts happened on

Morgan interests had passed out the
word to name Smith, that Smith would
exert his influence to secure Robinson

In the naming of Robinson, today,
the same calculated and methodieal
program was carried out. Robinson
fully answers the demands of the

Use Of Fly Traps

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
While the logical method of fly con-
troll Is to prevent the multiplication
of these pests by proper disposal of
or treatment Of their breeding places,
some degree of control can be main
tanned by the use of traps. Both the
house fly and blowflies may be cap
tured in traps, according to the ento-
biologists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, but the character
of the bait and the location of the
traps are important considerations in
trapping the different kinds of flies.
Farmers Bulletin 734-F, "Flytraps
and Their Operation" by f. c. Bishop
of the bureau Of entomology of the
department, gives directions for con-
structing a number of different kinds
of traps, the same general principle be-
ing used in all these fiytraps though
they appear to be different. The flies
are attracted into a cage through
passage, the entrance of which is
large and the exit small. Once In
side there is little chance that the
flies will find the way out.
Light is an important factor in the
success of all fytraps because flies
have tendency to go toward the
light, after having been attracted be-
meath 1t by the odor of the bai or

Plenty of clean, fresh water and

necessities for the dairy herd.
busting plants and the surrounding
ground with air-slaked lime or land
plaster has a tendency to keep slugs
away.
The only real basis for measuring
success in the production of farm
products, be they parsnips or pigs, Is
by the net return.
Keep a close watch on your birds
for the appearance Of lice and mites.
Poultry mites may be controlled by
painting the roosts monthly with
used crank case oil.
Efficient dairy cows will return a
profit on grain fed even when the
pasture is good. A small quantity
of summer grain keeps up the milk
flow and builds up the cow for win
ter.
More and more farmers are apply
ing scientific principles to the pro-
duction of crops and livestock, with
the result that 1t is becoming more
difficult for the unframed to prosper
on the farm.
If farmer has suitable facilities
and wants to raise colts, this is an
excellent time to start. In most parts
Of the state it is probably more prof.
liable to raise dairy heifers and pur-
chase horses.
Small patches of quack grass can
be killed by covering with roofing pa
per or by hoeing every time green
spears of the grass appear If pa
per is used weight it down with stones
or other heavy objects to prevent the
wind blowing it off.
Calves on pasture should be visit
ed frequently, and IL the feed gets
short they should receive grain or
some other supplemental feed, say
State college dairy specialists. A
check in growth always is expensive
because it dwarfs the animal and de-
lays the time that the heifers should
come into milk.

Grow Cucumbers
for the Market
Now One of the 20 Impor-
tant Truck Enterprises
in This Country.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Cucumber growing for table sup
ply, in contrast to production for
picking is now one of the 20 impor-
tant truck crop enterprises in the
United States. In 1926 nearly 10000
acres were devoted to the crop of
slicing or salad cucumber which was
valued at nearly 100000. This Is
exclusive of the crop grown in green
houses. Cucumbers are grown for car
lot shipments in % states, but IA
states produce the great bulk of the
market supplies with Florida by far
the most important producer. APP
proximately $4,000 acres are planted
for pickles.
Business Increases.
From a shipment of 1889 carloads
in 1920 the business increased to
nearly $500 cars in 1925 and 7,1SO
in 1926. "The present outlook for
table-cucumber consumption does not
warrant any great expansion of acre
dSCs says W. IL. DcdIIlC VI Tic Cnll-
ed States Department Of Agriculture,
the author of Cucumber Growing"
which has just been published by the
department as Farmers Bulletin
1563-F. There is need" he adds,
''for more intensive culture and the
production of higher grade table
stock"
The growing of high-grade table
cucumbers is rather difficult, owing
mainly to the prevalence of insects
and diseases which must be overcome
by spraying and by other special
methods. The bulletin includes de-
scriptions of these difficulties and the
methods of control. Returns from the
cucumber crop average about $3.50 an
acre, but production costs are high
enough to limit profits. Intensive pro-
duction of cucumbers under sash in
the Norfolk (Va.) section and at 9TH
er points along the Atlantic coast is
fairly profitable, especially to grow
ers who are giving the work close
attention. Overhead sprinkler sys-
TENS or subirrigation are in use in
some places, and the tendency at pres
ent is toward the provision of all
the necessary facilities for making
a high-grade crop.
Packed for Market.
"Cucumbers should be shipped
packed for the market, according to
the United States standard grades"
the bulletin says, "and under refrig-
GRAFTON wherever conditions require
it."

4 few new school dresses are need
ed by every child in the fall, whether
because of unexpected growth during

year. until the children reach the up

states cotton may be worn late into

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, Indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, combination OF SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results IN a mild
and safe way by using DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. 1t is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,
