HarYesters Save Money

The combined harvester-thresher
is making its way eastward. Success
full in California for many years, the
combine has given general satisfac-
ton in harvesting wheat in the
Great Plains Region. The combines
cut down the cost of harvesting and
threshing, they reduce the amount OF
labor needed, and shorten the har-
vest and threshing period. Combines
shouldn't be expected to make the
success in the moist, Eastern States
that they have in the semi-arid wes-
tern wheat-growing regions. How
ever, a farmer who has big acre
age of crops to be harvested, or who
can use his combine on neighboring
farms, may find the machine prof
liable investment. Indications are
that the combine will be used more
in many sections of the East in the
next few years.

How It Paid To Keep Books

An Iowa farmer and his son work
ed the farm and kept accounts for a
year. At the end of the year they
compared their results with &C
counts kept by other farmers and
summarized by extension workers.
They made list of what has proved
to be their strong and weak points
as revealed by the comparison. Their
strong points were found to be Sood
crop yields and good returns from
hogs. Their livestock returned $40
for each 500 of food consumed, and
the hog receipts amounted to $149
per sow. The weak points were
found to be that dairy product re-
ceipts were only $94 per COW; also
that the farm allowed for only Al
crop acres per man, II crop acres
per horse, and that it was cut Up
into II small irregular fields. AS the
result of this analysis the father and
son made some changes the follow
ing year. They rented more land to
bring up the number of crop &C! es
per man and horse They replanned
the fields and reduced the number in
the interest of efficiency of labor.
They introduced a minor rotation
for hogs. They sold two scrub COWS
and purchased three of a good dairy
breed. The results were 81 crop
acres per man, 20 per horse, and an
increase to $45 in receipts per cow

Pointers On Painting

Spring is a good time of year to
paint farm buildings and imple-
ments. Not only does paint improve
the appearance of buildings, but 1t
protects them from the weather and
is the cheapest way of keeping them
in good condition. Painting should
not be delayed too long; if wood has
begun to rot or iron to rust, the de-
terioration will continue even after
paint has been applied. Outside
painting should be done when the
surfaces to be painted are dry and
the weather is not too damp or cold.
Buildings should be painted every
three to five years, sometimes often
er than this. New wooden buildings
should be given a printing coat OF
paint as soon as possible and nm
fishing coat within the next month or
two. Before exposure to the wealth
er or to dampness, both the wooden
and metal parts of farm implements
and machinery should be painted.
When painting outside surfaces two

is slogan suggested to arouse in

The huge economic losses caused
yearly by woods fires should make
everybody realize the Importance of
fire prevention. The South is re-
sponsible for the burning yearly of
about 20,00O,000 acres of forest and
cut-over land, or about four-fifths of
the total forest area burned in the
United States. This represents a
money loss running into many mil
lions of dollars.
Young dairy heifers should at all
times have plenty of roughage which
is best furnished, in late spring and
summer, by green pasture. In addi-
ton, enough grain should be fed so
that the heifer develops steadily and
gains from 1 to IL pounds a day. If
skim milk is plentiful and cheap, it
may be fed advantageously to the
dairy heifer until she is or TO
months old
Specialists in the United States
Department of Agriculture have
found that when farmer keeps ac-
counts he has the best guide for inn
prOvement of his business. Farm
accounts show which of his activi-
ties have proved most profitable,
and which have been conducted with
little profit or loss. The farmer is
then able either to concentrate on
the profitable ventures or to substi-
tute other activities which may
bring good profits for those that
have not been profitable.

Tonight the nominee is to speak here.
He came here early yesterday and spent

Former Gov John G. Townsend of
Shelbyville, is the Republican nominee
against Bayard.
Bayard is the most recent of a long
line of United States Senators of that
name, one of whom was not only Sen
ator, but served as Secretary of State
in the Cleveland administration. Re-
publican leaders insist that they are
going to put through their whole ticket,
and there are indications that the pow
erS that be in Delaware will go down
the line for Townsend. A few weeks
ago it looked like a pretty sure thing
for Bayard, but it is not so sure today.
Mr.. Buck has had large hand in
giving Delaware a system of improved
highways, which is the boast of the
State. He is widely popular and should
win, it is said. He has running against
him Dr. Charles M Wharton, known in
his college days at the University Of
Pennsylvania as Buck" Wharton. He
played guard back about 1896 and was
selected for the All-America team in
his year.
The reelection of Representative Hous-
ton, Delaware'S sole member of the
House. is regarded as foregone con-
clusion.

large delegations to Baltimore today to
greet Gov Smith, who arrives there at
8 o'clock this afternoon, to make an
address tonight at the Fifth Regiment

LAS VEGAS, New, October 90
Pointing to Herbert Hoover's official
part in the Boulder Canyon Dam de-
velopment program during the last five
years, his secretary, George Akerson,
said in a special message to the Las
Vegas Age that there has been sufficient
evidence that he (Hoover) Is in favor
Of its construction by the Government"
The message was a reply to an in
quiry from the local newspaper asking
that Hoover make clear his stand on
the Colorado River development prof.
ect.
Considering that Mr.. Hoover started
advocating the construction of the
Boulder Dam five years ago, and has
consistently supported it ever SINCE"
Akersons reply from Hoover,s Wash
ington Office read, Having made 10
public addresses, appeared before con-
gressional committees on six different
occasions in support Of it, recommend
ed it In every report Of the Depart
ment of Commerce for four years, it
would seem that there has been suf1-

made up of farmers, or those who de-
pend upon agriculture for their liveli-
hood.

sentative Thomas Walter Harrison Is

Harrisonburg is the county seat, be-

recognized as the Republican leader OF
the district is working quietly for
Hoover, but is leaving the real leader
ship of the fight against Smith to the
anti-Smith Democrats, with whom the
Republicans have a working agree
ment.
It is an interesting fact that at the
meetings held in HarriSonburg and
nearby towns the greatest amount of
applause comes when a speaker raps
Tammany, which seems to be regarded
here as representing all that Is wrong
in politics and is looked upon also by
the ProtestantS as the embodiment of
Roman Catholicism and a center OF
anti-prohibition activity.
Future Control at Stake.
The deepest concern of the regular
Democrats of this section, including
Gov. Byrd, seems to be that control OF
the Democratic party in the Old
Dominion may get into the hands of
Bishop Cannon and the other anti
CY,1tth nar1nnrofc Mo Y1oftnr hnn tho
campaign ends, the bitterness that Is
being engendered in the valley and
throughout Virginia by the campaign
is causing real alarm to the regular
Democrats.
The Democratic leaders who are now
in control of the Democratic party and
government Of Virginia fear lest one
result of this campaign be situation
that will weaken their hold on the
State. They profess to believe, and are
telling many Democrats who are lean
ing toward Hoover, that Hoover vic
tory in the State, or even In any con-
siderable section of it, might result in
turning the State over to Bishop Can
non and the political preachers" and
end In the election of q governor next
year who would not be In sympathy
with Gov. Byrds program of State de-
elopinent-perhaps an anti-Sm1th gov
ernor, or even Republican, they say.
This, of course, Is campaign argument
and it is said to be having some effect
in the valley upon straying Democrats.
From many other Democrats, how
ever, The Star reporter learned that
they have no intention Of leaving the
Democratic party, or Of voting against
anybody on the Democratic ticket ex-
cept Gov. Smith of New York. They
might even vote for Senator Robinson
for the vice presidency, they said, If
that were possible.
Certainly many Of these boiling
Democrats intend to vote for as many
other Democrats on the ticket as they
can, and to vote hereafter as loyal
Democrats in State elections, both pri-
mary and general, unless they are pre-
vented from doing so in the primary
election next year by an adverse in
depreciation of the State primary law.

BIGOTRY IN POLITICS
ASSAILED BY THOMAS
Socialist Candidate Speaks In
Springfield on "Rum, Race
and Religion"
BY the Associated Press.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October 49,
Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President, spoke plainly before an
overflow crowd at the State Theater
here yesterday on 1.-THE Three Pernicious
RS of This Campaign-Rum, Race and
Religion" stressing particularly his de-
sire to be clearly understood on the re-
ligious issue.
He condemned bigotry in politics. Re-
ferring to the defeat of the child labor
amendment in Massachusetts in 1924,
he named Cardinal O'Connell as the
chief factor in that defeat.
1.-THE Protestant bigotry which I
heartily condemn will not be remedied
by turning to q bigotry of another
kind" the speaker declared. 1.-THE only
way to deal with the religious issue is
to ignore it, for there has been too
much bigotry on both sides. In this
campaign vital issues are not discussed,
and for this reason men are forced to
divide on such things as religion"
