like an migrate to vote against

the Pope, they go to the polls in
droves to vote for him on election

Heflin is one of the picturesque
figures on Capitol Hill. He is a
massive man, grey-haired, always
CARRIED in a black, single-buttoned
frock coat, stiff-bosomed shirt,
flowing black tie, and double
breasted white vest. There are
striped trousers, too.
Visitors to the Senate gallery
ask to see him, not, exactly, in the
same tone that they ask to see
Borah, of Idaho, Walsh, of Mon
tana, or Norris, of Nebraska-but
still they ask to see him; and
when he announces before hand
that he will speak on such and
such a day he always is assured
of a gallery audience.
The new building intended as
the future home of the United
States Supreme Court will occupy
historic ground. When ultimately
built it will cover the entire
block facing North from the Con
"gressional Library.
Chief Justice and former Will
liam Taft is a strong champion
of the change, and he is said to
have expressed the hope that he
may live to see the Supreme Tri-
bunal finally housed in quarters
commensurate with its impor-
lance and dignity.
One of the structures that must
give way to the march of progress
is the "Old Brick Capitol" scene
of many stirring events in Amer
lean history. 1t is used as head
quarters today of the National
Woman's Party, which has
proceedings necessary to obtain
strongly opposed condemnation

In this building James Monroe
was inaugurated President and
Henry Clay presided as Speaker
of the House. Congress met here
from 1914 to 1919 after the Capt.
toll Building was wrecked in 1912.
During the Civil War it's cellars
used as dungeons for cap
tive Confederate prisoners, and
to it's rooms. before that time,
often came Calhoun and Webster
to discuss the issues leading up to
that impending struggle. Cal
houn died in the building then
used as an inn.
Of this militant editor an inter
story is told. President
seems, was reluctant to
be quoted on certain issues of the
day. Knowing of his fondness for
swimming, and furthermore be-
ing aware of his favorite swim
ming hole in the Potomac river,
Miss Royal followed the Presiden-
Dental parsonage as he made his
way toward the river on a warm
summers's day. BY a thanking
movement she placed herself be-
tween the President and his cloth
ing on the bank, and from this
vantage point she questioned him,
and the President answered, neck
deep in the waters of the Poto-
mac.

Agricultural Notes
Seed Treatment Stops
Smutty Wheat Losses

Smutty Wheat Losses
Greater use of formaldehyde and
copper carbonate in treating seed
wheat, as urged by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the eriment stations of Min
nesc' ID adjacent states, is re.
fl, I'm the reduction of the
quantity of smutty wheat reaching
Minneapolis in-1927 from north
west farms.
According to r. P. Woodwork,
chairman of the Northwest Grain
Smut Prevention Committee, only
one car in IL received in Mime
apolis in 1927 was graded as smut
ty as compared to one car in every
six so graded in 1925. Market
ings of smutty wheat were mater
tally smaller last year than in
1926. "The Improvement was due
in large measure to the intensive
efforts of the farmers themselves, .
says Mr.. Woodwork. ''Last year
they used nearly so per cent more
formaldehyde and copper carbon
ate for treating their seed, to make
it more smut proof, than in 1926"
Smut in wheat results both in a
reduction in yield of grain per acre
and in heavy price discounts. The
combined effect means a material
loss for each farm where smutty
wheat is produced. It is estimated

661 State Herds On
National Honor Roll

Names of owners of 661 Mime
sofa dairy herds, having 1913
cows, have been added to the Ma.
tional Honor Roll for 1926-27 of
the National Dairy Association in
recognition of the achievement of
developing herd of not less than
five cows to yearly production
average of 800 pounds of butter
fat or more. Beautifully engraved
diplomas under the hand and seal
red for original award, blue for
the second award, and gold for the
third-have ben sent to E.. A.
Hanson, in charge of cow testing
in Minnesota, and will be distribut-
ed through county agents or cow
testers. Acting upon suggestion
by Mr.. Hanson, local meetings
will be called in many cases to
present the diplomas.
For the fiscal year 1923-24,
Minnesota herds on the Honor Roll
numbered 222. In 1924-25 the
number increased to 388, and in
1925-26 to an even 500, having g.
1876 cows. -
The Askov association in Pine
county, with 20 dairy farmers on
the roll, leads all others in the
states in numbers. The Barnum
association in Carlton county is
second with Fl Honor Roll men
Dakota county association (north)
has 10 in the 300-pound class, and
the Clarissa association is close be-
hind with Is. H. A. Dilley's herd
of Holsteins in the Dakota county
association (south) leads in pro-
duction with an average of $40
pounds per COW. ......
w. H. Eddy's herd of Jerseys in
the Waverly-Howard Lake associa-
ton is second with average fat pro-
duction of sos pounds.
The roll becomes more imposing
every year because dairy farmers
are learning to develop more pro-
ductive herds, say dairy specialists
of the university. Gains CORES

of cow testing associations. In
1928 there were but 43 associa-
lions, says Mr.. Hanson. Now there

Livestock Losses Can

Livestock Losses Gan
Be Cut By Sanitation
"The major part of our live
stock losses, especially what may
be termed the infant mortality,
is directly traceable to parasites"
said DR.. w. A. Riley, head of the
department of biology of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, in addressing
a class at the recent Farmers and
Homemakers' Short Course. "We
are coming to know that such loss
es are, comfortable, just as the
hookworm in humans is control-
able. The round worm, which
causes large part of the loss of
young pigs, is a case in point.
Death losses are not the total eco
nomic toll. Stunted growth and
the general slowing down of the
livestock industry hit the farmers
pocketbook quite as hard. Proper
sanitation, coupled with the trans
fer of the young stock from in
tested stalls, pens and feed lots
to clean quarters and pastures, will
reduce the losses to a negligible
point /"

that in 1926 the reduction in yield
of wheat in this county because of
smut amounted to more than 33
million bushels.
In addition to being an effective
agent for killing the smut spores
carried on seed wheat, experience
has shown that the copper carbon
ate treatment has certain other ai-
vantages. 1t is cheap, easy to ap-
ply, does not injure the seed even
when sown in dry soil, and seed
treated with it can-be stored with
out injury. Furthermore, it serves
to protect stored grain from Wee

you want to change the color of the
willows, put the willow pieces in

In making the entrance, find out
what bird appeals to you, then go

and get from him the size of the
hole for the entrance, also, how far
up from the floor Of the bird house,
the hole should be. Also, where
the perch should be placed. This
is important, because of the fact,
the English Sparrow is likely to
make his home in your bird house
if the entry way is incorrect.
