TEXT BOOK
BILL To PASS
HOUSE SOON

After months of delay the Cap
per-zihlman bill to provide free
textbooks for Washington high
sCllooi students was to go through
Inc tlnal legislative stages in the
House this afternoon and probabl,
Will be law during this week.
Representative Mcleod, acting
chairman of the House District
committee, obtained the consent
OI majority Leader TilSon to call
Cne Dill up today before general
oeoate is resumed on a pending
appropriation measure. The mea-
sure passed the Senate about a
month ago.
A similar measure also passed
tne House in the past Congress,
OuC When it reached the Senate
acClon was prevented by Senator
Hetlln OF Alabama, who was then
IN the midst of his anti-Catholic
crusade and insisted that the bill
should be amended specifically to
forbid textbooks teaching any
Cnlng contrary to the separation
OF church and state.
AT this session Senator Capper
persuaded the Alabaman that this
amendment was not necessary and
the bill went through and was
sent over to the House, where it
has been the only measure on the
District of Columbia calendar in
recent weeks. Unanimous ap-
proval Of the bill by the House
was in sight today.
The free textbook bill has been
endorsed by the District Commits
slonerS, the Board of Education
and a number of civic organiza-
tlons. Cost of the legislation will
be comparatively small. 1t is said
that Is States, with others about
to follow, now provide free books

Cutting Small Trees Is
Quite Costly Business

Parker o. Anderson, forestry spe-
cialist of the extension division, Uni
versity farm, st. Paul, advises farm
ers in the handling of their woodlots to
avoid the cutting of small trees. He
says that the cutting Of such trees is
poor business. that the leaving Of
small trees Of desired species means
increased future profits. When small
trees are relieved Of the competition
Of larger trees they grow in height
and diameter at a cOrrespondingly
higher rate. This means a speeding up
of the future crop.
Mr.. Anderson says that cutting trees
under u inches in diameter is ordi-
narily Improbable. This is because
they yield only small amount Of
lumber whereas if they are left to
grow until they are from 16 to IS
inches in diameter they give a much
larger yield and command the prices
Of higher grades. He cites certain tests
made by the Lake States Experiment
station which show that for 1000
board feet from eight-inch logs the
cost is about $50 whereas from o.
inch logs the cost is about S9.37.

Regular Schedule Adds
to Dairy Farm Profits

A regular schedule for the feeding
and milking Of dairy cows has been
shown to increase profits, according
to report made by Carl Stadig, test
er of the Dairy Herd Improvement AS
ISOLATION No. l of Nicollet county,
Minnesota. The report was made to
Ramer Leighton, head of the dairy
herd improvement association work Of
the state at University farm, st. Paul.
According to Mr.. Stadig, one Of the
members of his association, who is
good feeder and manager but who
has been irregular as to the time Of
feeding and milking, adopted a def
mite schedule. AS result, his pro-
duction increased Is per cent.
Paul STAY, tester of the Harmony
Preston association, reports that strip
ping by hand, following the use of the
milking machine, increases the but
terfat content of the milk. In report
to Mr.. Leighton he says that one cows
milk without the stripping tested 2.5
per cent butterfat whereas with the
. strippings it tested 3.S per cent.
The monthly report of Mr.. Leighton
shows that in January 3S,955 cows
were under test in Minnesota. Of these
1854 gave in January more than 40
pounds of butterfat. The report says
also that 1918 herds in the association
averaged more than % pounds of but
terfat per cow.

Peas at Canneries
Lead All Vegetables
Usually Grown Along With
Other Crops for Canning.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Since 1905 the volume Of garden
peas grown for canning has multiplied
more than five times, and since 1922
this crop has headed the list Of vege-
tables grown for canneries. In 1928
pea Gamers packed 100000 cases,
according to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Peas are usually grown along with
other vegetables for canning, and the
of canneries, according to Farmers
Bulletin 1867, "The Production of
Peas for Canning" recently revised by
v. r. Boswell of the bureau of plant
industry. The bulletin may be OBJ
tanned free from the Office of Informa-
ton, United States Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, D. G.
The bulletin points out that peas
are not exacting in their soil require
ments but demand soil that is well
drained and not too dry. A coolA eli
mate is preferable and planting should
be as early as the soil can be worked
in the spring. The individual growers
acreage is limited by the suitability
Of his soil and equipment and by the
availability Of labor at rush time. Ten
or fifteen acres of peas usually fits
well into a 100-acre rotation.
The pea is a legume, and when the
proper bacteria are present it enriches
the soil by accommodating the expensive
element, nitrogen, from the air. The
bulletin notes instances Of increases
Of wheat yields in New York state
ranging from five to eighteen bushels
an acre as the result Of previous
pea crop.

Fertilizer Aids
Farmers Income
One of Best Means Of In
creasing Productivity
and Helping Soil.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
"If all the fertilizer-7, 100000 tons
Of it-used annually by farmers of the
United States were sold in bags 1t
would take nearly a hundred million
of them," says DR.. Oswald Schreiner,
chief of the division of soil fertility
of the bureau of chemistry and soils,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Help Productivity.
"The use of chemical fertilizers" he
says, lis one of the best means of in
creasing productivity and improving
soil fertility. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that for every dollar invested
in fertilizer the average return is
about So. The reason that farmers are
buying $25OOOO,O0O worth of fertilizer
a year is that the best farmers of the
country know that it pays them to use
fertilizers"
Summing up the relation of fertili-
cation to farming under present eco
nomic conditions Doctor Schreiner
says: with the present high cost of
labor, increased acreage is not so ad-
visable as increased production per
acre. Under present costs of produc-
ton the proper use Of fertilizers Of
fers one of the best ways for the
American farmer to increase his farm
income. An acre Of underfed plants
struggling for growth and reproduc-
ton, means not more, probably less,
than an average yield of crops, the
selling price of which is absorbed to
meet the costs of interest, taxes,
cultural operations, and seed. If
there is to be any profit it must come
from a higher yield. Therefore it is
better to produce high and profit
able yield on less acreage than an
average yield on the full acreage.
This is true of all crops"
Doctor Schreiner says that intelli-
gent application of lime and complete
fertilizers makes it easy to double or
triple yields of pasture grasses and
a point which is more important but
is often overlooked by dairy farmers
to increase by this means, the pro-
tein, lime, and phosphorus content of
the grasses. Such forage often Inn
proves the health of the stock and
insures against mineral deficiency dis
eases and nutritional abortion.
Don't Expect Magic.
Doctor Schreiner warns farmers
that they must not expect fertilizer
to work magic or to make up for short
comings of crops, soils, poor seed, in
efficient spraying, poorly plowed and
cultivated land, poor drainage, acid
soil, or for low supply of humus.
"Use manure to improve your Soils
Grow green manure when you cannot
get stable manure. Then you will
have better returns from your fertil-
izer," he advises farmers and points
out that there is specific quantity
of fertilizer which yields the maxi
mum profit in any given case and the
amount varies greatly with different
crops and different soils, and is great
er, by far, for high-price crops than
for low-priced crops.

New Tomato Pollinator
Is Electrical Vibrator

One thing that occasionally cuts
slice from the tomato-grower's income
is the failure Of early blooms to set
fruit. Apparently the weather has to
be just right for pollination; and
though plants may blossom early.
there will be no sets without pollina-
ton. In order to have satisfactory
pollination, the air must be warm and
dry.
Artificial pollination is the answer
to this difficulty, of course. Several
methods are in use-shaking the vines.
tapping the blossoms, and actual
transfer Of pollen by hand.
Now comes a new wrinkle-an cleo
trical tomato pollinator-a device not
unlike an automatic pistol, with vi
orator on it. This electric vibrator
seems to do a good job, even on damp,
sunless days.

Serious Insect Pest

The most serious insect pest on po-
tatoes is usually the leaf hopper, a
small green insect that lives mostly
on the undersides of the leaves and
feeds by sucking the juice from the
foliage. This insect causes the leaves
of the plant to curl up and turn brown
at the margins. In some years the
yields from unsprayed fields have been
reduced so per cent or more by leaf
hopper injury. Bordeaux mixture, a.

material in controlling leaf hopper In

Many Miniature Farms
Not Listed bv Census

Government officials estimate that
there are 5000 farms of less than
three acres in this country to which
individuals gave their entire time last
year. In taking the 1890 agricultural
census, areas Of less than three acres
were not listed as farms unless they
produced as much as $3.50 worth of
farm products in 1929. Small areas
of more than three acres were classed
as farms regardless Of the value of
products if the land is actually being
farmed.
