Washington Letter
~ uFpprpr r
BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON. April 9-What kind of a man is
the new senator from Missouri-the one who will sit
m the seat occupied for SO long by the ~illustrious Jim
Reed?
Inc question might be answered with the simple
statement that Roscoe Patterson is as opposite from
Jim Reed rs the two poles. There is scarcely a trace
of similarity.
Unlike Jim Reed, Senator Patterson is not regard
ed as a great orator. Not that he has a poor delivery.
but he sacrifices attempts at eloquence for logic. His
speeches also lack the biting sarcasm and vindictive-
ness of Reed.
He IS a successful attorney and comes from a fam
lily Of lawyers. His father and two brothers are MEM
bers Of that profession. Until he accepted appoint
ment as United States attorney he had lived all Of
his life in Springfield, Greene county. He is married
and has one son.
X INFORMATION
Patterson is a man of personal magnetism, makes
friends easily, and keeps them. His friends say that
he never is happier than when surrounded by people.
His sense of humor is hard to equal. He laughingly
confessed to this writer that he was always glad to see
anyone who had information, for it was difficult for
him to get hold Of enough to satisfy the demand.
re is a great theater-goer, but prefers classical
drama. He laments the passing Of Shakespearean
PLAYS from the stage.
If the senator is not in his office it is a pretty

his his one hobby. He and his family spurned the
train when they came to Washington. He drives his
own car, and has made extended motor trips.
COMMON PEOPLE" LIKE HIM
Nissouri's new senator is described by his friends
as being the most typical representative Of the com
mon people Of his state that the commonwealth has
had in the United States senate for years. They re-
fer you to the circumstances under which he was
elected. He comes from Springfield, one of the
smaller cities of the state. His opponents were from
the two great urban centers-St. Louis and Kansas
Citv. The common people" rallied to his standard,
and he was swept into office with a majority of 81 1000.
Senator Patterson is a conservative republican.
There is nothing Of the radical about him. He IS for
law enforcement first. last and always. His views on
prohibition are guided by this. AS long as the eigh-
teenth amendment is a part Of the constitution he
will uphold it.
He always has taken an active interest in politics.
From 1921 to 1923 he was a member of the lower
house of congress. He has been prosecuting attorney
for his home county two terms. He served for three
years as a United States attorney in Missouri, relin-
J gushing that office to enter the senate.

PASTURE FERTILIZATION STUDY
STARTED IN COUNTY


Through the active cooperation OF
Fred B. MARTENS, prominent farm
er located near Elkton, detailed
study of proper pasture fertiliza-
ton by means of commercial fertili-
GERS has been started and will be
conducted over a period of several
years, according to County Agent
Thomas H. Bartilson.
Due to the fact that much of the
cash income of farmers of Cecil
County is derived from dairy cows
and that pastures form the back
bone of the county dairy industry
for nearly eight months of the year,
this study in the maintenance of
pasture fertility should prove of the
utmost interest to Cecil County farm
ers. In fact in many cases the pas
lures are the last part of great
many farms to receive attention,
and it is hoped that results from the
present demonstration will empha-
size the need for changing this.
Cooperating with Mr.. MARTENS
and the Maryland Extension Service
in conducting this pasture demon
stration are w. C. Rohde, agricul-
turalist of the Barrett Company,
v. Y; E. K. Walrath, agricultural
agent, of the N. v. Potash Export,

Senator Burton X. Wheeler,

Senator Burton X. Wheeler Of
Montana, after three weeks spent in
Nicaragua, has returned to Wash
ington thoroughly convinced that the
United States Marines should be
withdrawn altogether from Nicara-
qua. Statement was made in Wash
ington late in 1928 that this would
be done in January, 1929, but less
than a third of the Marines were
then recalled. Senator Wheeler
says, at costs the United States
about $25O,OOO month to keep the
marines there. That means pros
perity for that country. Naturally,
the business men and the officials
want the Marines to stay, it is the
height of asininity to keep $500 U.
Is. Marines down there. All they
are doing is ordinary police work
that should be done at the expense
of the Nicaraguan Government.
Senator Wheeler also expressed him
self as opposed to the Nicaraguan
Canal construction, advocating i'm
provement of the Panama Canal IN
stead.

CLEANLINESS NEEDED IN
GROWING CHICKS

Cleanliness, the keeping OF rec
ords and separation of the sexes at
an early date mark the three inn
portant steps to success in growing
healthy marketable chickens, ac-
cording to W. II. Rice, poultry
specialist for the University OF Mary
land Extension Service.
Cleanliness is of paramount Inn
portance in every phase OF the poui-
try industry, Mr.. Rice declares, and
particularly in the rearing of young
stock. Only vigorous, disease-free
chicks or eggs from disease-free
hens, preferably from officially GER
tilted, B. w. D. tested focks, should
be used, it is pointed out. Good
chicks should weigh eight pounds
net per hundred or 1.3 ounces each
at Matching time. For chicks of this
quality, the parent stock must be in
first class condition and Matching
eggs should weigh at least twenty
four ounces to the dozen.
Mr.. Rice also emphasizes the inn
pOTLduC6 VI udVIu5 UAi6Ats NAONAA
surroundings for the chicks. The
buildings should be Systematically
cleaned, washed with I've, disinfect-
ed and whitewashed at regular in
tervals. In addition, the buildings
should be moved each year to loca-
tions where fowls were not kept the
previous year. This precaution,
plus a change of litter every five
days and daily disinfection of the
food troughs and drinking fountains,
will do much to prevent losses from
diseases and parasites.
Separation of the cockerels from
the pullets at an early date is advis-
ed, since the former grow rapidly
and have a tendency to monopolize
the feed troughs, drinking fountains
and roosts.
Keeping records is an important
factor in success with poultry, it is
asserted, otherwise the real reasons
for losses are not Always discernable

MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES IN
MARYLAND

The Department of Commerce an
nounces that, according to the re-
turns received, there were 24,226
marriages performed in Maryland

Attaching his signature to a
bill to establish airports for birds
was one of the closing acts OF
Calvin Coolidge as President, and in
accordance with It's provisions sur
vey will be made by the government
for sites in the various States. Some
of the larger commemorative will
have two or three such sanctuaries,
where birds and all manner of wild
fowls may rest with safety on the
passage between the north and
south, and where others may stop
and build their nests and hatch their
broods. 1t is anticipated that this
protection will check the destruction
of birds, and bring them back to
their former numbers. 1t will also
guard them against the degradation
of their furred or feathered foes,
that prey upon them, and assure

NEW FARM PRACTICES ADOPT.
ED AS RESULT OF PUBLICITY

Publicity is one of the most eff
fective modes used by agricultural
extension agencies in selling" new
ideas on farming and homemaking,
according to M. G. Wilson OF the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Mr.. Wilson recently completed a
study of the relative effectiveness of
the numerous methods employed by
the extension forces of the depart
ment and the State Agricultural col
leges in introducing new and better
practices in farming and home eco
Monies.
Methods classified as publicity, he
found, were the cause OF the adop-
ton of 80 per cent of the 27,032
improved practices introduced on 81
738 farms in IL states. The re-
mainder of these practices were
adopted as result of personal SER
vice methods, object lesson methods
and indirect influence, these three
groups being about equally infiuen-
tial.
In the publicity group, which in
cludes such mediums as news stor-
les, bulletins, circular letters, post
ers, exhibits, general meetings, and
radio, the printed or written word
proved strikingly effective. News
stories, bulletins, and circular let
ters caused the adoption OF 1882
per cent of all practices involved in
the study, the news story alone be-
ing credited with 10 per cent of the
changes. General meetings were
credited with causing 1873 per cent
of the changes; radio 1.53 per cent
exhibits 81 per cent; and posters
.04 per cent.
When all costs were considered
the news story was found to be the
most economical means of infiuenc-
ing farmers and farm women to
adopt the desired changes. General

Bulletins take a lower place In the

though they are credited with having

THE PREVENTION OF DEAFNESS

In connection with the aIl-the
year-round activities for the adj
vancement of the health and we'll
being of the children throughout the
country, advocated by President
Hoover in his proclamation settng
aside the first day of May as Chlids
Health Day, special thought is being
given in many places to the needs OF
the child who has some physical or
mental handicap-deafness bad
eyesight, or who is lame or other
wise crippled, or who is mentally
retarded. Organizations in Mary
land that are interested in helping
children who have any of these han
dicaps are represented on the Mary
land Committee for Child Health
Day, of which DR.. ]. H. M. Knox,
Jr., Chief of the Bureau OF Child
Hygiene of the State Department OF
Health, is chairman.
Some of the nationwide organi-
cations will have special exercises in
connection with Child Health Day.
Among them is the American Fed
Grafton of Organizations for the
Hard of Hearing which is coupling
up it's annual observance OF Hearing
Week with Child Health Day and
with the rest of the first week in
May. The Maryland Branch or the
Association, from it's headquarters
at 3 East Center Street, Baltimore
is arranging a program including a
radio talk on April 80 by DR.. M. L.
Breitstein, from station WBAL
which will call attention to the pos
sibility of preventing much of the
deafness that is due to neglect OF
lack of care.
I ''In order that the possibility OF
preventing large part of the deaf
ness that occurs among children and
| in later life, may be better appreci-
lated, there is great need DR.. Knox
said, s'for better understanding on
the part of fathers and mothers, q
the SgOse Connection between such
deafne&s and neglected conditions OF
the ears{ the nose and the throat,
following certain infectious diseases,
such as scarlet fever, measles, per-
sistent colds, the so-colled catarrhal
infections, or as result of adenoids
or diseased tonsils. A recent sur
lvey of children of school age show
ed that there are over three million
school children in the United States
who are suffering from the handi-
cop of defective hearing, ranging
from slight imperfections to COM
plete deafness. Inquiry into the
causes showed that much over halt
of this deafness could have been
prevented.
"The health supervision Of child
rem of school age through the peri
odical medical examinations made
after they enter school and OF the
younger children in connection with
the regular child health conferences
or by their family physicians before
they are enrolled in school, is of the
utmost help in locating children in
the early stages of deafness. But
after these examinations have been
made and conditions requiring cor
rection have been pointed out, the
responsibility rests with the parents
or guardians of the children. In
many instances. prompt treatment
will not only save much pain and
discomfort, and be of benefit so far
is the general health of the children
is concerned, but it will protect them
from the very serious handicap OF
either partial or complete deafness. -
