FL|ERS HERE To
GET HOP D. K.

Roger @. Williams and Ted
Lundgren yelled their plans for
a forthcoming flight to Europe
with such secrecy today that they
even denied their identity to re
porters at the State Department.
Before they held q secret con-
ference with r. H. Barkalow,
chief Of the departments protocol
division, they conferred with Clar-
ence M. Young, Assistant Secre-
tary Of Commerce for AeronauticS.
There they did not bind Young
with the secrecy they requested
from Barkalow, and Young an
llolnced their presence here was
to ask the State Department TO
seek permission Of several foreign
countries, especially England, for
them to fly over their territory.
A few months ago, Williams
license was suspended for q few
days because he violated Eng
lands regulations by flying over
Bermuda without authority during
his nOIlstop. round-trip flight
there from New York.
Young said the United States
will also seek an agreement with
England. similar to that held with
Canada, by which an American
pilot in England or its posses.
sions will have the same priv.
leges as q British pilot, the same
applying to British fliers when in
this country.

Lower Revenues and Higher
Expense Seen by Treasury
As Compelling New Policy

Hope for a continuation of the
one per cent tax reduction on in.
comes earned in 1880 virtually has
been abandoned by the Treasury
Department, it was learned from
high officials today.
The Treasury, however. has not
yet considered the possibility Of
increasing rates over those in the
1928 revenue act. It appeared
that every effort would be made
to maintain the 1928 levels, in the
belief that business will pick up
during the late fall and winter
and move back to normal in 1891
thus assuring increasing revenueS
next year.

Turkey Business
on Stable Basis
Heretofore Industry Has
Been Regarded as Side
Issue and Gamble.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Turkey raising in the United States
has been regarded as side issue and
a gamble, but increasing knowledge Of
parasitic diseases and their control is
putting the industry on a more stable
basis, says A. r. Lee, poultry husband
man of the United States Department
of Agriculture. "There are now more
than three and half million turkeys
on farms in this country, and they con-
stitute ~ per cent of all poultry.
The 1929 crop of market turkeys fndi-
Gated decided advance in the bust
ness as compared with 1928. The es-
timated increase was about 8 per
cent"
Information Needed.
In recognition Of the Increased in
terest in turkeys and the need for
further information concerning para
site diseases, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has estab-
lished foundation flock of turkeys
at the United States range experiment
station at Miles City, Mont. This
work got under way last spring. OF
600 birds raised last season, 300 were
selected for the breeding fiocks. Ever
EFT E. Weir, a research worker, is de-
voting all his time to the investigation
of parasitic diseases. The work at
this station will also include study
of the comparative cost Of raising tur-
KEYS in. confinement and on free range.
The flock was established by pur-
chasing Matching eggs which were In
cubated artificially. The young birds
were brooded in special brOoder houses
with clean yards until they were about
eight weeks old. The investigators
took these precautions to prevent in
festations of the poults by such par
asites as are introduced by adult tur-
keys. When large enough to range
the young poults were provided with
large fenced lots and inexpensive shell
tiers for roosting.
Modern Improvements.
."Modern improvements in mechanl-
cal means of Matching and brooding
have done much to develop the turkey
industry" Mr.. Lee says. "Day-old
poults are now produced by CONNER
cial hatcheries and shipped by parcel
post in much the same maner as baby
chicks. Artificial brooding has been
of particular value in preventing losses
from blackhead disease which at one
time threatened to destroy the In
dustry."
Research workers have determined
that this disease is caused by a para
site which cannot live long in soil, but
which may be transmitted in the egg
of another parasite, the cecum worm.
The blackhead parasite survives for
long periods in the worm egg. AS
both turkeys and chickens may have
blackhead, usually in chronic form
in mature birds, and as both may also
have cecum worms, prevention OF the
acute. destructive form of blackhead
IN Young turkeys calls for rearing on
clean ground away from chickens and
older turkeys.

Muskmelons May Pay
Well on Local Market
Any Garden Soil Is Suitable
for Good Crop.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.l
Muskmelons produced locally and
sold in small towns and on roadside
markets could often be grown to ad-
vantage in small acreages In many
parts Of the country, according to
Farmers Bulletin 146S-F entitled
"Muskmelons," recently revised by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture and available to anyone request
ing it. The country's carlot markets
are well supplied from the big produc-
ing centers, but local growers In many
sections can advantageously produce
and sell melons on the smaller markets
which are now not fully supplied by
the carlot movement. says the author,
w. r. Beattie, horticulturist of the
bureau Of plant industry.
Well drained, warm, sandy-lOam or
silt loan soils are best adapted to
melon growing although some of the
finest melons grow on sandy river bot
toms and rich clay loans, Mr.. Beattie
points out. Warmth, drainage, abund-
ance Of quickly available plant food
and humus are essential for success.
Any garden soil is suitable for melons
grown for home use.
Insect pests and diseases are the
greatest obstacles to muskmelon grow
ing, according to the bulletin. This
crop must be rotated. appearing not
oftener than once in five or six years
on the same land and with no related
vine crops in the rotation If the soil
is to be kept uninfested. Seed treat
ment and busting or spraying will be
necessary for success, the bulletin
points out.
The author also comments on vari-
cites and types of melons best suited
to the local markets and home gar
dens, on the preparation of soil, cul-
tivation, harvesting and packing OF
melons. In established melon growing
sections the most urgent need is for
improvement of quality and standard
ization of packs, says Mr.. Beattie.

Edible Period of Many
Vegetables Heightened

Many of our best vegetables are
edible for very short period OF time.
For example, sweet corn is used for
food only when it is in the roasting
ear stage. When past this stage 1t
cannot be used. The same is true OF
such crops as beans, peas, lettuce,
spinach, radishes and many others.
THE edible period of such vegetables
can be greatly heightened by sue
cession of paintings at different dates.
For example, If row or two of sweet
corn is planted every two weeks from
early in May until the first of July.
the roasting ear season will be ex-
tended from two to three weeks to
nearly two months. This succession
of paintings can be practiced for many
other vegetables as well with the re-
suit that the fresh vegetable season
will be greatly heightened.

Human Deaths From Rat
Poison Are onDecline

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 indi-
Gated 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 confer
ence concluded that the diminishing
death rate is due to the increased,
nationwide use of powdered red
squill, which is unique as an ex-
;erminator in that it is deadly to rats
live stock, dogs, cats, poultry and
mice but harmless to humans, and
even baby chicks. 1t is highly rec
commended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

Bordeaux Mixture Good
Spray for Leaf Hopper

Bordeaux mixture has been found to
be an effective remedy for the control
of the potato leaf hopper and the dis
ease known as chopper burn" which
accompanies attack by this pest. says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Leaf hoppers may migrate
from the early to the late crop, and
spraying should begin when the pests
first appear. The spray should be a
fine mist and should thoroughly cover
the plants, including the undersides
of the leaves. Each side Of every row
should be sprayed. When leaf hop
pers are abundant, three applications
should be made, and four are some
times necessary in hot, dry summers.
busting with commercial copper-lime
dusts is also effective.

Oats Grown With Wheat
as Succotash Are Good

There is very common notion
that oats grown with wheat as a
succotash are not good for seed. Just
what the foundation of this notion
Is no one seems to know. There is
nothing in the association of the
wheat with the oats to in any way
disturb its inheritance and it there
fore is just as good for seed as oats
tat have been grown alone. The
main difficulty in using such grain
for seed lies in thoroughly separat-
ing the wheat and oats so that
clean crop can be raised.

ing freak addresses will be sent to
the dead letter office if they do not
bear addresses of senders. Postal au-
thorities in the past have been in
dulgent toward violations of the rule
that all letters and post cards should
bear proper addresses, but this re-

was forced by an increase of first
class matter bearing freak addresses.
