Plant food worth more than
2,O0O,O0O,000 is washed away
from the farms of the United
States every year. This is twenty
times as much plant food as is
removed from the land by growing
crops. The loss occurs on gently
sloping hillsides and on fairly level
land subject to "sheet' erosion as
we'll as on steep hillsides. Proper
terracing will often remedy the
condition.
A rabbit experiment station was
recently opened, under the direc-
ton of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, at Fontana,
California, where studies will be
conducted to determine the best
methods of breeding, feeding, and
housing rabbits. This is the first
+, station of it's kind in the United
States where rabbits are studied
exclusively, and it is expected to
be great help to the fast growing
rabbit fur and meat industry.
Under average conditions, hatch
ing chicks with incubators is not
only more satisfactory but also
more economical with hens, par
ticularly where large numbers of
eggs are to be set. Besides, the
incubator has the distinct advant-
age of Matching a few or several
hundred chicks at one time, and
with the use of the coalburning
brooder stove the problem of re-
producing the fiocks from year to
year is materially simplifed.
The United States Department
of Agriculture listed 10,803 agri-
cultural cooperative associations
doing business in 1925. The to-
tai membership of these associa-
tons is estimated at 100000.
This is considerably larger than
the total number of farmers served
by cooperatives as many farmers
belong to two associations, some to
three and a few to four.

POOR HOUSE SISTERS
 SAID TO BE WEALTHY
Claim Descent From Geo. Washington and Cousin
 ship to Justice Holmes

Natick, Mass. July 2S Rl-Three aged and eccentric sisters who claim descent from the family of George Washington as well as cousinship to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Of the United States supreme court and who for past year have been cared for at the town farm have been dis covered to be comparatively wealthy.
 The women. all of who are more than 70 years of age. are the Misses Electa and Lizzie Morse and Sarah Morse Tibbets. They have been helped by the town for the past h years and when their 15o-year old home burned . year ago they were removed to the poor farm while an aged brother. Rufus. was taken to hospital where he died of malnu- triton.
 Belief persisted, however. that the sisters were not as poor as supposed and investigation was started. When Charles L. Kopff. chairman of tho board of public welfare, was named conservator for the women at the petition of the town, the sisters ap. peared in court to enter vigorous protest and to assert that they had been put on the farm against their wills and were able and anxious te pay the town what 1t had expended on them.

 While the dean makes no mention of the students custom of appropri- ating the neckties, socks. cigarettes, tuxes and roadsters of his friends, he has expressed himself strongly against borrowing money to pay tui- ton expenses.
 The student who graduates from college with debt hanging over his head is held back at the outset of his career" Dean Wendell said. He is given the wrong incentive at the very beginning and instead of build ing steadily toward the future. the young mans energies are absorbed in an effort to pay off debts hang ing over him.

SMITH TAKES REST
 AT THE SEASH0RE
New York Governor Foreets Politics. Temporarily
ENCOURAGED BY RIYCHlE
Talks With Maryland Executive in New York and Hears Favorable Reports Regarding the Election Full of Enthusiasm.

New York, July cS Pl-Thoughts Of the White House took second place today to a desire for rest and recreation in the mind of Governor smith as the democratic nominee for president set out to play for few days at the seashore.
 Keyed up by words of encourage ment from the governor of a border state. Ritchie of Maryland-Smith dismissed politics from his mind while he and his family got ready to motor to Hampton Bay, on the south shore of Long Island, for a week end vacation.
 The governor of New York met the governor of Maryland here last night. There was a chat on the po- litical outlook and they had dinner together
 Although nothing was given out to the public regarding their conver- sation, no one doubted that the two governors were in complete harmony as to the lines on which the demo- cratic presidential campaign should be conducted. Smith sought the advice of his friend from Maryland. not only as to strategy but as to the line of his campaign argument, and he got it.
 Arc of Same Mind
 Particularly on prohibition, the two governors are of about the same mind. Ritchie, like Smith, has been assailed for his views on the ques- ton. He has emphasized states rights, and has been put on the black list of more than one prohibi- ton organization for his stand.
 shortly after the arrival of Gov ernor Smith, with his family. from Albany, late yesterday. Ritche. as had been agreed. called on the presi- dential nominee at his suite in the Biltmore hotel. With him was How ard Bruce, democratic national con- mitteeman from Maryland. Both had dinner with the New York governor, who invited in also few close friends.
 Return to Maryland
 Both Ritchie and Bruce returned to Maryland on the midnight train. Although they had little to say about their talk with Governor smith. they were highly optimistic as 10 his chances in November. As Ritchie saw it, Maryland is safe for the democrats this fall and Senator Bruce is certain 10 be reelected.
 The Maryland governor. who was a candidate for the democratic pres idcntial nomination himself but withdrew in Smiths favor before the Houston convention. urged his friend to conduct an intensive and exten- sive campaign. He said he was con- vinced Smith could win votes by coming in contact with the voters al- strongly advised stumping campaign that would take the nominee into all debatable states.
 Although Gov. Smith had dis claimed any intention of soliciting advice regarding the prohibition declaration in his acceptance speech to be delivered at Albany, August 22. he was able to obtain first hand from Ritchie his views as to states rights on the subject, states respon- siblity as the Marylander prefers to style it.
 Visits New York
 Smith came to New York yester-
