Profitable to Discard
Misshapen Seed Tubers

] Many potato growers are finding it
profitable to throw out the long, slen-
der, or badly misshapen tubers from
their seed. These tubers carry the
virus of the spindle tuber disease.
The yield from them is practically
nothing. When buying seed, avoid
any lot of seed which carries large
number of these "run-out" potatoes.
Remember, when buying seed pota-
toes, you are not buying bushel of
potatoes, but rather you are making
an investment in crop. 1t may be
a profitable one or it may be unprofit-
able. Good seed is worth more money,
for it yields higher return on the in
vestment.

Geraniuns Poison
japanese Beetles
Found That Insects Are At
tracted to- Plant and
Are Paralyzed.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
An insect poison that seems to need
the aid Of the sun to develop its best
effects has been observed in cOnnec-
ton with the campaign against the
destructive Japanese beetle, now being
waged in New Jersey by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. 1t
has. been known for some time that
geraniol, an oil which occurs in ger
aniums and some other plants, is very
effective in attracting the beetles, and
this bait or attrahent has been used
to concentrate beetles on a single tree
where they can be killed by poison.
Feed on Geraniums.
It has also been known that the
beetles feed on geraniums, and that
such feeding is often followed by par
alysis or death. Articles suggested
that geraniums could be used for con-
trolling beetles have frequently ap-
peared in newspapers in the districts
infested by the pest.
The effects of geraniums on the jap
anese beetle were studied by Charles
FL. Ballou, of the bureau of ento-
mology, during the past summer. He
found that the insects are drawn to
the plant and eat it, both flowers and
foliage. Many of the beetles are par
alyzed and fall beneath the geranium
plants. In the ordinary course of
events some of the beetles recover and
others die. But in making observa-
lions Of the effect Of geranium poi
soning, Mr.. Ballou observed that if
beetles fed on geraniums in the sun
many more were paralyzed, than when
they fed on geraniums in the shade.
Flowers More Poisonous.
He also found that the flowers of
the geranium were somewhat more
poisonous than the foliage of the
plant, although either would cause the
death of a considerable proportion of
the beetles feeding. One of the most
interesting facts discovered was that
"a hours after death by geranium poi
soning the entire digestive system of
the beetle was destroyed,
Because of the poisonous effect Of
geraniums on the beetles Mr.. Ballou
suggests that thorough study of the
chemical nature of the plant might
lead to the discovery Of new and
better poison than any used for con-
troll of the beetles at present.

Agricultural Hints

In 1900, As per cent of the acreage
of tame hay was devoted to timothy !;
whereas in 1927 only 10 per cent was
timothy.
Order them on time-these baby
chicks-if you want the pullets to lay
next fall, and the broilers to hit the
early market.
From the standpoint of cleanliness
and disease prevention, it is an excel
lent idea to whitewash the inside of a
poultry house. Lime is good disin-
fectant.
Barley is a cheap feed and is often
included in the scratch feed because
of its variety. 1t seems to contain
more feed value than oats but less
than corn.
Peach and other tender trees
shouldn't be pruned until the buds
start-or even till after the blossoms
fall. Then the full damage done by
Jack Frost can be seen and trimmed
away-and maybe no pruning at all
will be needed.

Mythical Fountain

Pirene was a celebrated fountain
at Corinth, which took its origin from
Pirene. a daughter of Oesalus who
melted away into tears through grief
over the loss of her son, Cenchries.
At this fountain Bellerophon is said
to have caught Pegasus. The foun-
tain burst forth from the rock in
AcrocOrinthus.

ASK COURT TO RULE
ON POCKET VETOES
Indians Carry Case to U. S.
Supreme Tribunal for
Decision.
BY WILLIAM III. DOHERTY,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

The useless slaughter of Buffalo would
be prohibited and the time for carrying
mail between Missouri and California
would be speeded up from 38 to 80 days
IL the Supreme Court should decide that
presidential pocket vetoes are valid only
when made at final sessions of Congress
The question is before the highest
court in the application of the Okano-
gan and five other Indian tribes OF
Washington to sue the Government for
land they claimed had been illegally
taken from them. A bill authorizing
such a suit was pocketed by President
Coolidge last year at the end of the first
session of the SeYentieth Congress.
Altogether 100 measures have thus
received the disapproval Of Presidents
since the earliest days, including the
Muscle Shoals legislation passed by Con-
gress last year. If the Indians arc
sustained it will be mandatory upon the
Government to take over operation OF
the Alabama plant as provided in the
Norris resolution.
Much Interest Aroused.
The proposition has aroused much in
terest among lawyers as we'll as among
congressional leaders. Chairman Norris.
of the Senate judiciary committee, is
measure rightfully was passed, and the
House judiciary committee voted a
resolution to the same effect.
The bill to conserve the buffalo was
passed in 1874 and the speedier mail
service was called for by Congress IN
1859. Seven months after pocketing
the latter measure President Buchanan
wrote to the House of Representatives
that he had not had enough time to
examine it thoroughly and also that
the Postmaster General had informed
him that the contractors themselves
had offered to increase the speed on
this route"
Other bills pocketed by early Presi-
dents which would become law II the
Indians win their point provide for
the removal of political disabilities OF
Confederate veterans, creation of a
Lincoln land district in the territory
of New Mexico, extension of time for
of the Alaska Northern
Railroad and pensions for persons who
have been dead many years.
Among the measures pocketed were |
the Agriculture Department appropria- |
ton bill for 1920 and five-year build |
ing program measure for the Bureau |
of Fisheries. Grover Cleveland pocket |
ed SO bills.
The pocket veto delays legislation"

and violates the expressed purpose OF
the Constitution" Representative Sum-
ners of Texas, ranking Democrat on
the House judiciary committee, told the
highest court during argument OF the
Indians case.
Summers appeared as counsel for the
committee, which filed brief In the
case, and the unusual character OF the
controversy prompted Attorney General
Mitchell to join with the Indians in the
request that the lower courts opinion
be reviewed and to appear personally
to present the Governments side.
"Acuuiescence or sufferance for no
length of time can legalize a clear
usurpation of power or a power exer-
cised under mistaken conception"
Summers commended, adding that the
Constitution required that the Presi-
dents objections to bills be made public
and that "the pocket veto violates this
mandate"
The Attorney General asserted that
the To-day period provided for presi-
Dental consideration of congressional
enactments meant calendar and not
legislative days. and that any bill which
he did not return to Congress within
that period was dead, whether submitted
at the close of the first or last session of
y Congress.
