"In 1908 you turned your attention to
prison reform, in that year being ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt as a
member of a commission of three to
make recommendations for the penal
institutions of the District. Notwith-
standing the widespread personal in
veStigations which this commission car
ried out, the report was rendered within
seven months and so appealed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he made 1t sub
ject for special message to Congress.
Your fellow commissioners have
given you credit for significant phases
Of the report, out of which have come
striking departures in the conduct of
penal institutions as worked out in
practice at Occoquan and Lorton, with
recognition both at home and abroad.
II have said enough, hope, to sug-
gest to you why the Board OF Trade
wishes this afternoon to make formal
| presentation to you and why I deem 1t
great honor to be their spokesman"

citation, had difficulty in collecting him

OF his fellow citizens and the satisfac-
ton of having contributed to the well

Carolina Farmers Find
 Relief in Credit Unions

RALEIGH, N. O., Sept. 9.-North Carolina farmers are not depend ing on the government for their farm relief.
 They are setting up individual financial organizations under a law passed Is years ago by the state legislature, providing for the estab- lishment of savings and loan asso- citations or credit unions, similar to those in operation in Europe for nearly a century.
 Fifty-eight credit unions are now in operation in 26 counties, and more applications have been re- ceived for permits to organize in the last 60 days, than in the his- tory of the credit union in Ameri- ca.
 The credit union is operated un- der the supervision of the depart ment of agriculture and is similar

JEWS AND ASSYRIANS
 HAVE COMMON PLANT

BAGDAD, 1rak. Sept. 9.-Jews and Assyrians, in olden times foes, today have a grievance in common. The British government in Pales- tine, has restricted the return of Jews to their country, and the gov- ernment of Irak, under British mandate, has barred the gates of their old home in northern Meso-. potamia to the Assyrians, because it fears that some foreign power may be promoting Assyrian settle ment on political grounds.
 At present there are some 10000 Assyrians in Irak. Some 100000 others are scattered in adjoining countries. Tn the war they fought with the British against the Turks and after the conflict, fled from the Turkish into British mandated ter ritory.
 Even today they speak Aramaic which, at the time of Christ, was a current language in the Near East.

If Connie Mack had any sug- gestions to make about the outcome of the National league pennant race
 the probability is' that he would nominate his old rival, John Mc-
 Graw, to carry the opposing banner in the worlds series this October Since there is every reason to suspect the As will repeat in their
 own circuit, the question of the
 National leagues entry in the big series may be said to occupy some of the spare thoughts of MT. Mack and his athletes.
 The Pirates, the Cardinals and the Cubs all have been tried and found wanting in the last few
 championship battles, so much so that in three successive years these clubs have collected an aggregate of exactly one victory in thirteen starts against the Yankees and Ath- letics.
 Brooklyn, which has not won since 1920 and was not much of a series factor then. has lately shown signs of fading rapidly from the pennant picture. The Cubs may repeat, but the Giants still have a
 lot to say about the matter. It is fairly safe to suggest that
 National league men as a whole in addition to MT. Mack, would be delighted to have John McGraw
 do the master -minding in the se-
 ries again, though the motives in- yolved would be somewhat different What the N L. wants is fight ing team in the main event scrap
 ping to regain the old circuits
 prestige McGraw has the outfit
 calculated to do it, plus the experi-
 ence that such leaders as Bush, McKechnie and Mccarthy have
 lacked.
 Connie believes the Giants would
 be the most troublesome of any of
 the National league teams in the
 short limits of worlds series. but
 he would rather match wits with
 McGraw again than anyone else in

ST. LOUIS.-The grin that helped make Sunny Jim" Bottomley an idol of St. Louis Cardinal fans for eight years has turned to a grim smile this season.
 Sunny Jim" has lost a lot of his popularity. The cheers that have rung through the ball park each time he has been at the plate since 1922, this season have been mixed with jeers.
 Even the women with whom Bot tOmley was especially a favorite no longer chant Come on, Jim when he goes to bat
 Bottomley's play this season has lost the dash and fire of a few years back, and his home run punch is missing. The fans have been quick to note the lack of ag- gressiveness and already are specu- latihg on where the first baseman will be next season.
 Rumors among baseball authori- ties here are that Bottomley's smil- ing face will not be in the 1881 lineup.
 Branch Hickey, yice-president of the Cardinals, already has said that James A. Rip" Collins, sensational first baseman of the Rochester club, will be Redbird next sea- son.
 Collins has earned promotion, and he will get it." the club official said.
 Only once in eight years has Bot tomly failed to hit above the 300 mark until this season. That was in 1925 when his average was 299 This year his hitting mark has how cred just below 300.
 Bottomley has been handicapped this season by an injured thumb, which perhaps has been the reason he has appeared to slow up.
 In a recent game Sunny Jim" came to bat with the tying run on base. He fouled out and the fans, forgetting the past. booed. Bottomley.s smile faded, his head dropped slightly, and dropping his bat, he walked slowly to the dug out.
 Reports that he wants to be traded have been denied by the first sacker.
 I've given my best for the Car dinals," says Bottomley. I'm satis- fled here in St. Louis, and natur- ally it's going to hurt If I'm traded. But I'll be playing ball some place next year, so why worry?"
 Bottomley. 30. won the leagues most valuable player award in 1928

The years have not dimmed Con- nie Mack's memory of his famous battles with McGraw in the world S series of 1905, when Christy Ma thewson hurled three Shutouts against the As of 1911 and 1913, when Macks greatest team turned the tables on the New Workers.
 "MatheWson was at his height in 1905 and I have never witnessed greater pitching than he showed against us"
 Mack told me in a recent chat over old times: Tt was wonderful. Six years later Matty was still the toughest of them all to beat. have never seen his equal, taking every thing into consideration.
 After all Is said and done, Me- Graw seems about the only major league manager qualified by success, experience and wits to make it in- teresting for Mack, who has no ri- vals wh atever in the American league.
 Pilots like Johnson, Wagner, Bush, Shawkey, Killefer, Peckinpaugh and Harris have done well but they were either in kindergarten or just blossoming out on schoolboy dia- monds when Connie Mack was win ming American league pennants Shawkey was one of his pitching pupils.

SAVE THE LAYING HENS
(By Prof. H. D. Munroe)

Mortality figures, taken from the
demonstration farm flOcks of Penn
sylvania for a period of ten years
and on about 100000 hens, show that
February, March, April or May are
the months of highest mortality.
During any one of these months
twice as many hens die as do dur
ing any of the other eight months.
A large percentage of this mortal
ity can be traced to the trouble COM
monty called prOlepsus or inverted
oviduct. The causes of this poultry
trouble, though not definite, may be
due to one or more of the following
factors:
1. Pick outs.
2. Weakening of the muscles Of the
oviduct brought on by the strain
of heavy production.
8. An overfat condition of young
pullets just starting to lay.
4. Constipation due to not enough
laxative feeds such as green and
succulent feeds or lack of liq-
uids.
5. Lack of lubricating material in
the oviduct brought on by an in
complete ration.
6. Difficulty in laying large eggs.
Even if some trouble does not ap-
pear it is a good plan to prevent it
as far as possible by using liberal
supply of succulent, green feeds.
Such feeds as sprOuted oats, cabbage
and mangles should be used. Some
kind of milk in the ration is impOr-
tant. A dose of some laxative such
as epson salts Il pound of salts per
400 pounds of poultry may be need
ed as often as once a month if no
succulent food is available.
A suggestion worth trying is to
reduce the amount of corn to 25 per
cent of the scratch grain mixture.
Such grains as wheat, oats, barley
and buckwheat can be added to take
the place of corn.
AS prolapse appears in a flock
is like ly to cause
heavy losses. Birds are likely to
start picking at the vents that shaw
a trace of blood.
Some hens have the habit of stay
ing near the nests and picking those
while in the act of laying. For this
reason it is advisable to keep the
nest darkened. Whenever q bird is
caught picking another, her beak
should be trimmed. In bad cases
Of pickouts it is necessary to trim |
The whole flock. Often picking in a
hen can be stopped, as with chicks,
by feeding a moist mash once day |
made up of 2-3 alfalfa meal and 1-3
laying mash.

FARM NEWS

COwpeas for hay are better il
grown with other crops than alone
The sorghums (sorgos and Kafirs)
Sudan grass, Johnson grass, soy
beans, and millet are suitable. Sor-
gos or kafirs, when grown with cow
peas, make a good hay or silage
This mixture cures more easily than
cOwpeas alone, makes a well-bal-
anced ration, and is relished by all
kinds of livestock.
If the dairyman buys all his feed
hires all of his labor, and disposes
of the milk at current wholesale
prices he will make little if any
money. If he buys all his feed and
does all his own work he may make
day wages. To make the greatest
profit raise most or all the feed and
market it through the dairy cow at
a price at least equal to what the
same feed would cost on the market.
It's a good idea to make a small
outdoor seedbed, with specially pre-
pared soil, in corner of the farm
garden, to start the plants. They
will be more stocky if started here
and later transplanted. A good soil
mixture for the seedbed is one part
of well-rotted manure, two parts of
good garden loan or rOtted' sods,
and one part of sharp, fine sand. The
addition of leaf mold or peat makes
the soil better. Mix the materials
well and sift the soil.
The most profitable pig is the one
that never stops growing till it goes
to market. Pigs are less likely to
be fed irregularly and to lose weight
If they and the sows are fed in self
feeders where several days or even
4 weeks supply of feed may be
stored. At the U. S. Department of
Agriculture experiment farm in
Maryland sows and pigs on self
feeders have proved more thrifty
han those that were handled. In

USES OF WIRE FLOOR
FOR BROODER HOUSE
AND SUN PORCHES
BY Jos. H. Bodwell

More and more people are control
ling disease in the poultry flock by
prevention. In the southern part OF
New England many of the poultry
plants and the soils about them
have become contaminated with
many different diseases such as cOc-
cidiosis, chicken-pox, worms, etc.
The use of clean chickens and new
land in a new poultry house has
been advocated, tried and proven to
be of great value. Many plants have
used up all the land available and
have already as many brooder
houses and poultry houses as tney
need for their business, or as deslr-
able to use on their plant.
Many of these poultrymen hnu
that even under these new condl-
tions that disease became prevalent
again very quickly. This was due to
the fact that the old land was hoC
fenced in to prevent people ana an
imals from going across it, thus they
took the disease to the new section.
About the only thing left for many
of these men to do is to make con-
ditions such that reinfection IS I'M
Dossible. This can be done by the
use of wire-fioored sun porches, ana
wire-foored brooder houses. The oo-
iects of the sun porches are to give
the birds the benefit of the direct
rays of the sunlight, to double the
floor space of the brooder house anu
prevent any chance of disease rem
fection. Wire-foored brooder
houses probably prevent disease IN
fection, where properly managed, at
the least cost of any known method
There are many suggested meth
ods of constructing the sun porches
and floors. The big thing to remem-
her is to build it strong enough so
that the attendant can walk upon II:
The wire mesh should be small
enough to prevent chickens from
going through, and large enough so
that the droppings will go through
without staying on top OF the wire
for any length of time. The wire
floor should be high enough ABOVE
the board floor or ground to prevent
the dropping from collecting and the
birds picking up infection from IT,
Also the floors should be built IN
such a way that they can be easily
taken up and the droppings cleaned
out. Precautions must be taken
when chicks are fed on wire, the
same as any other way but this IS
certainly an economical way to pre-
vent diseases from getting started
where they are prevalent. !

were that in the self-fed lots the

was materially less and the sows

The farm horse is less likely to get
sore shoulders if it gets special care
in early spring until the muscles
harden and the winter hair sheds.
Clean the shoulders carefully after
the days work and before Harvesting
in the morning. After removing the
harness, wash the shoulders with
warm water and CASTLE soap, and
rinse with cold salt water. Keep
this up for two or three weeks. It
is worth while to spend a little time
on the horse in the field. Raise the
collar and clean the sweat, dirt,
and dead hair from the shoulders
and collar. Whenever possible, lift
the collar forward and let the horses
shoulders cool off.

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES
Supplied by U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, Bureau OF Agricultural
Economics, Market News Service.

The potato market position shows
little recent change around the frs
of the month. Supplies of old stOcl
continue liberal in eastern markets
with demand limited. Total daily
output from all sources is about
800 cars per weekday, which is
fairly close to the rate of shipment
year ago. Canadian arrivals aver.
age from to cars daily in each
of three or four large eastern cities
Price changes have been slight but
mostly downward, with further los
ses of to 10 cents in various city
markets and in northern Maine pro-
ducing sections. There was not
much change in the situation in
western New York, nor in the West,
although demand at shipping point
was slow and the tone weak. Hold
ers in the Rocky Mountain sections
were refusing to sell at slightly low
er prices. Bulk stock was $3.50 per
100 pounds and sacked stock 50 to
$2O5. New York round white varie-
ties held fairly steady at near $3.50
per 100 pounds sacked in eastern
markets and Pennsylvania stock
followed a jobbing range of $3.50 to
S2.70 near the first of the month.
Onion markets continue dull with
few price changes around the first
of March. Daily output is usually
below 100 carloads with New York
and New England averaging about
10 per cent of these. Supplies are
reported moderate to liberal in cas-
tern cities and demand slow. New
York yellow varieties ranged $1.50
to 50 per 100 pounds in city mark
cts and $1.75 to $1.80 in the ROches-
ter district, but weak market tone is
prevalent in some eastern produc-
ing sections and at various Colora-
do shipping points. The new Texas
crop seems to be making good pro-
gress under more favorable growing
conditions. The Egyptian onion
crop is reported unfavorably affect
ed in quality and quantity by cold
and rainy weather during the middle
of February.
A few carloads of old cabbage are
still arriving daily from western
New York. The price is still near
the high point of the season and
city markets range $65 to
$40 per ton. Some midwestern mark
cts quoted up to $85 around the
first of the month. New cabbage is
in fairly good supply but prices con-
tinue at a level of $3.50 to SIS per
barrel in northern markets and
around $50 per ton in Texas pro-
ducing sections. Dutch cabbage at
SO to 81 per 100 pounds appears in
half dozen large eastern markets.
Supplies of apples are moderate in
New York but reported liberal in
most other eastern cities. Prices are
unchanged with Bald
wins at $1.75 to 1925 per bushel
and $3.50 to Sc per barrel in large
markets. Most sales in the wes-
tern New York producing districts
are around 50 per bushel and $3.50
per barrel, with demand slow. A
few sales of New York Wealthy
were reported in Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati and Cleveland at $1.70 to
50 per bushel. New York Mcintosh
near the end of the season sold
higher in New York, recent sales av-
eraging about $40 per barrel. Maine
Baldwins brought $3.50 to SIS per
barrel in New York and Boston.
New York Greetings are firm at
$3.50 to 81 per barrel in New York,
but reached top of SO in Chicago.
