Editor Times-A few days ago a
letter appeared in your paper in
which the writer stated that the
children of working mothers would
be better off if they did have to
wear a few patched dresses. 1 am
one of these and let me tell you
that it would mean more than a
few patched dresses if 1 stayed at
home lin my place"
Through an accident my husband
was crippled some years ago and at
first 1 did try to earn a little at
home. but it was only a drop in
the bucket. Now 1 hold fairly

Does this man think we working
mothers are doing so for a thrill?
Don't We have to give up the So
cial side of life because there are
so many, many things to do when
we are home. to say nothing of the

We never have a minute We can call
our own?
Another thing, our children are

We realize that we are cheated out

better to give them a fair chance
in life by fitting them for it with
an education and I know that chill

ably dressed are the ones who want
to leave school because they are

I think that if one can do more
for their children by working out

will say this that my children
are as well trained as many whose
mothers are at home all the time.
AS for my husband, it does make
things harder for him than if I
were home. but he feels as 1 do,
that it is better to have things as
they are and live comfortably than
to barely exist and after many years
of married life We are happy.
I know other mothers who work

Editor Times-In your issue Of
Nov. 26, in the editorial, THE Sta
lin Interview" among other things
the writer said Recognition Of
the dictatorship of Russia by the
United States would carry with it
no more of the stamp Of approval
than does the maintenance of dip
lomatic relations with the equally
repugnant Mussolini dictatorship"
Does the writer mean to say that
Mr.. Stain is dictator Of Russia?
Did he CNdr. Stalin) not make it
plain that it. was an impossibility
for any man to become the dictator
of Russia?
Does not the testimony given by
these men on trial for treason prove
his statement? Mr.. Kalinikov says,
"a man reared like myself never
could understand why lowly work
ers should rule. I was unfit to sub
NIT to the proletariat."
Is not this a government of, for
and by the people? Who has
better right to dictate and rule than
all the people?
You speak of the be-damned at
titude of Russia toward the United
States, while in fact it is the other
way The world at large has be-
damned attitude toward the Soviets.

dictator with a huge army trying
to hold down the pressure of
starving people forced to endure
complete embargo against the mar
keting of their only crop (sugar).
This to allow the sugar trust to ex-
plot American millions. According
to Mr.. Lyons report in a recent
issue of The Times Russia is pros
pering. She is coming to the front
faster than any nation ever born.
Poverty, crime, insanity, and suicide
are practically gone, or greatly on
the decrease.
A great many people of late are
giving up the erroneous idea that
the Russian people are being led
by a few mediocrities, or common
convicts, as our own dear blind
leaders would have us believe.
Thank heaven, the time has come
for the redemption of humanity
While we suffer the fear of want
in this land Of the fearful and home
of the slave, where multiplied mil
lions are living in poverty and want,
and the hungry starving hordes are
bowed, bruised and broken under
the heel of the most tyrannical die
tatorship that ever existed. We see
the dawn of the new day, and
it inspires us with new hope, and
it is this that enables us to bring
Joy out of bitterness and blessing
out of despair.
We remember how poor suffering
humanity has tried so many times
in ages past to throw off the
CALLING yoke of slavery, only to be
prosecuted, prosecuted, condemned
and slain.
The time of reckoning is at hand.
We sincerely hope it will be
brought about by peaceful means,
but however it comes, we will well
come the blessed year of jubilee,
and kingdom of peace.

down to the present time tell of

Rat Poison Fatalities
Show Material Decline

AT the second annual conference OF
the Eastern Rodent-Control district,
held in Washington, it was reported
that clippings from thousands OF
newspapers throughout America in
dictated a material decline in the num-
Der of accidental human deaths from
rat poison during 1929.
Since the sales and use of extermi-
majors have not decreased, the con-
ference concluded that the diminish
ing death rate is due to the increased,
nationwide use of powdered red
squill, which is unique as an eXtermi-
nator in that it is deadly to rats and
mice but harmless to humans, live
stock, dogs, cats, poultry and even
baby chicks. It is highly recon-
mended by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Make War on Pocket
Gophers in October
Spread Out Poisoned Wheat
in Systematic Manner.

Pocket gophers, pests of alfalfa
fields, have life habits that tend to
lull the farmers into allowing them
more security than they deserve. In
spring and summer when the alfalfa
grower is in his field cutting his hay
crop he finds new evidences of the
multiplication of pocket gophers in
the form Of new mounds Of loose
earth thrown up from the tunnels
they dig. 1t is not until late in Sep
TENDER or until October that the
mounds multiply. All during spring
and summer the pocket gophers are
rearing their young and working from
the old tunnels, clipping and eating
the tap roots and laterals of the al
falfa and causing scanty nourish-
ment or death to the plants. The ami
mails are out of sight, but they are
really busy at work. Each pair of
old pocket gophers is raising four or
five youngsters that are intense indi-
vidualists and that in fall will strike
out for themselves, dig their own bur-
rows, make the fields bumpy and diff
ficult for the hay makers, and prepare
for more multiplication the next
spring.
The practical procedure for Kidding
the fields of pocket gophers is to let
them make fair start with their new
burrows in the fall, and then put out
poisoned wheat in systematic man.
ner so that all may have their fill. In
the autumn fields the new burrows
can be located easily and effectively,
and this is the season when the pock-
ct gophers are laying In their winter
hoard of food.

Made to
Avoid Hog Flu Losses

The following suggestions are made
as offering means of avoiding losses
due to hog flu:
l. Have animals accustomed to their
winter quarters before time for unsea-
sonable weather. Do not wait until
cold rains or snow have fallen to pro-
vide good shelter. Herds that are
hogging down corn should not be all
lowed to sleep in the open but should
be trained to seek good sleeping quar-
tiers every night.
2. Furnish an abundance Of clean,
dry bedding for sleeping quarters.
Avoid dampness or dust by frequent
change Of bedding.
3. Avoid closed, unventilated shell
ter. Overheated hogs are the ones
most apt to contract respiratory dis
eases through chilling on leaving the
house in the morning.
4. Keep the hogs bowels in good
condition, not with drugs but with
proper feed. Linseed meal is laxative
and may well be used for this purpose.

Cutting Sweet
Clover for Hay
Many Farmers Make Big
Mistake in Allowing
Crop to Stand.

Many farmers make grave mis-
take by allowing sweet clover to stand
too long before cutting for hay. Sweet
clover should he cut while it is in the
bud stage and not after it is in bloom.
The biennial white blossomed sweet
clover develops a coarse stem as it
Is passing through the bud stage. This
fact makes it SO succulent that it is
an impossibility to cure it and poi
sonous substances develop in the stem.
North Dakota has found that many
animals have died by the eating of
this half-cured sweet clover.
Avoid Spoiled Glover.
We desire at this time to warn our
farmers against the putting up OF
spoiled sweet clover hay, says r. A.
Moore of the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture. Unless one can cut 1t
at the proper time for hay, it is al
together best to leave it run into the
seed stage and cut it for seed or pas
ture the same. Undoubtedly the great
est good derived from sweet clover
will be from pasture and from the
turning of sweet clover as a soil en-
richer. For these two great purposes
sweet clover has no equal.
Sow With Cereal.
1t really pays any farmer, no mat
ter what cereal crop he grows, to sow
sweet clover with such cereal crop
mainly for blowing under. Often one
gets a good cutting of hay in the fall
when the sweet clover has been sown
with oats, barley, or spring wheat.
The fall cutting. of sweet clover, as
a rule, makes exceptionally fine hay
and no evil effects so far have been
discovered from the use of the hay
which is acquired from sweet clover
the first fall after seeding. We also
usually have good hay. making weather
in August and September when this
first cutting can be taken and do not
have the frequent showers that usual
" obtain in the early part of June
when sweet clover is ready to be cut
for hay the second year after seeding.

Selecting Boar Pigs to
Be Used for Breeding

The season is at hand for sizing up
spring narrowed boar pigs to be used
for breeding purposes. If boar pig
is six months old and has been nor
mally developed to that age, he will
show any tendencies he may have to-
wards undesirable conformation. In
selecting a young boar one should see
his sire and dam and make inquiry
into the breeding qualities of his an
cestry, particularly with respect to
proifcacy. In addition TO this infor-
nation concerning the feeding quail

Contaminated Hog Lot
Is Cause of Diarrhea

Diarrhoea in young pigs is usually
caused by being in old contaminated
hos lots and is due to infection. Pigs
at this age also get diarrhea when
kept in apparently clean quarters, If
not allowed to get out on clean ground.
Keep them in clean dry quarters and
out of old muddy lots. If they get
outside, put them on clean pasture,
not previously used for hogs for at
least one year.
Add middlings to the milk and make
a thick slop. 1t would also be bet
ter to feed shelled corn until they are
older.
Give two ounces castor oil, then
give five grains each Of salol and sub
nitrate of bismuth, three or four times
daily.

Feeding Soil Bacteria
to Release Fertility

'Feed the bacteria and they will
feed you," is slogan that is true in
relation to soil fertility, according to
o. FL. Sears, University of Illinois.
Bacteria are largely responsible for
the changes in soil whereby soil fer
tility is liberated to produce good
crops.
'Plowing under straw just ahead Of
a corn crop has a detrimental effect
on the corn crop, as the organisms
that break down the straw use the
nitrates of the soil that should go to
corn, while if the straw is plowed under
in the fall the straw may favor the
utilization of nitrates by bacteria and
thus prevent the teaching of nitrates
during the dormant season Of the
wheat plants"

Alfalfa in Egypt"

Alfalfa, the best of hay crops, can
be grown in southern Illinois if con-
ditions are made suitable for the
rlaEt, according to d, G. Maxwell Of
the University of Illinois.
The first requirements of the south
ern soils is good drainage, which is
bad in some sections of the state due
to impervious subsoil The rolling
and well-drained soils need lime and
some humus in general to make
success of alfalfa production.

Rotating Glover

If a large field of clover is grown
as a part of crop rotation and hogs
are moved from one field to another
during successive seasons, as part
of sanitation scheme, the crop may
be handled in the following manner:
A cultivated crop such as corn should
preferably precede it but this is not
necessary. 1t is most advantageous
to follow sweet clover with a titled
crop to eradicate volunteer plants not
desired in the rotation.

Smaller Turkeys

It is too often the rule that all
turkeys reaching marketable weight
are sold on the Thanksgiving market
and the process repeated at Christ
mas time, those left constituting the
next seasons breeding flock. The re-
sult of such a practice is smaller tur-
keys raised with each succeeding sea-
son-and fewer of them-for this
practice insures the retention of the
least thrifty birds.

EARN EACT&e

Plenty of exercise, less grain and
more roughage, such as alfalfa, will
tend to prevent a large amount Of
paralysis in pregnant ewes.
When the COWS fall off in produc-
ton rapidly it indicates lack of suf-
ficient nutrients. Some supplement
should be provided at once.
Sunfower seeds in limited amount
make splendid winter feed for chick
ems. Because of the tough fibrous hull,
it does not do to feed in great
amounts.
Low prices for eggs and making
room for the growing pullets are two
good reasons for reducing the laying
flock at the same time the ROSTERS
leave the farm.
One of the more common troubles
on many farms is Overcrowding in the
hog house. Hogs compelled to pile up
become too hot and the building will
likely be damp and steamy.
The calf's digestive capacity is not
large enough to allow it to consume
enough grass alone to meet its needs.
