Daughter Of English Baronet
One Of Candhii' Most Ardent DISCIPLES

New Delhi. India, Feb. 26-tP,-
Behind the scenes of the present
political drama in India is an Eng
lish woman, Miss Madeleine
Sladc, daughter of Sir EDMUND
Slade, for many years command
er-in-chief Of British naval forces
in India.
Renouncing all the pleasures,
comforts and amenities Of every
day existence. Miss Slade has
embraced asceticsm and the
mysteries Of Hindu life and has
become the ardent disciple Of
Mahatma Gandhi, who took her
to the sacred city of Benares and
after immersing her In The holy
Ganges river, initiated her into
the mysteries Of the Hindu rcli-
gion.
She has shaved her head In
monastic fashion, given all her
money to the poor, goes bare
footed, burned all her European
clothes and wears only the cheap
est homespun Hindu garments.
She has taken the Hindu name
Of Mira Bal" When asked by
her British friends If she Is Miss
Slade, she replies: mo. Miss
Slade has been dead and buried
for five years"
Miss Slade prays. fastS and in
dulges In various forms OF expia-
ton. and enters into regular Pc
RODS of silence and meditation.

She has charge Of Gandhi's
household, prepares all his meals,
sees that he Is properly clothed
and looks after him with =
mothers solicitude for a child.
Gandhi'S own wife, who is a
woman of advanced age, could not
show more devotion to the aged
leader than Miss Slade. who wor-
ships him with the ardor Of the
most intense religious zealot.
Mrs. Gandhi. who has not seen
her husband since he entered
prison nine months ago, keeps
quietly In the background, never
appearing among those who share
Gandhi's counsels.
Miss Sladc. who Is q woman Of
marked culture. ability and execu-
tive capacity. Is much more than
a mere servitor or disciple OF
Gandhi. She takes All active part
In the independence movement
and in addition to giving Gandhi
advice. she attends to his large
correspondence.
Her father diSinherited her for
embracing the cause Of Indian
independence to the detriment of
the British empire but the daugh-
ter did not care. She devoted
herself passionately to q life of
service and spartan simplicity.
which Gandhi has held up as the
only way Of salvation for midas
toiling millions.

MANY TURNING TO ALFALFA

San Francisco, Feb. 26.-P)-Re-
ouccd harvests appear as n hope
agriculture has in the far west Ior
1881.
A fair measure of success III check
!lg the downward rush OF peacn ana
yaisin grape prices in 1890 by limit
ing the size of the harvest mas
Brought agitation for extending. the
practice to other major crops.
Last year California canning peach
and grape growers left vast quantities
cf the fruit ~unharvested. Payments
were made by cooperatives for n
portion Of the crop which was not
picked.
Paid For Waste
In the Ease Of canning peaches the
PAYMENT was $40 a ton, less the $7.oO
which picking would have cost. Thus
the grower received virtually the
same for the part Of his crop which
was permitted to 60 to waste that ne
received for the part marketed.
Although this price was only ap-
rroximately a quarter OF that re-
ceived in 1920 and less than a third
Of that of 1929, F.. F. Schmitt OF the
California Canning Peach rover
organization believes the surplus
would have forced quotations to =
ruinous level IL such action had not
been taken.
elimination OF acreage that can't
produce a sufficiently high tonnage
is to be recommended" said Schmitt.
who is head Of one Of the agencies
taking the lead in limiting the size
of marketed crops. but putting It
into practice presents many difficult
problems.
Let George DO 1t"
'Who is to designate what acre
age is to be abandoned? The aver
ace man is willing for some n else
to pull up his trees. but after putting
in several years Of hard labor to
bring his fruit land to production n
thought Of pulling up his own trees
does not appeal.
There also is the problem Of find
ing some more attractive crop. At
present it is almost Impossible to
name a decidous fruit or a field crop
which is profitable"
Field agents. of the Gamers Or
sanization report numerous individ-
ual instances where growers are up
roofing trees, somc of them turning
to alfalfa.
Among the growers there is de-
clared to be sentiment favoring last
years plan Of limiting the harvest
rather than shrinking the acreage.
Wool Business Sound
Frank j. H~agenbarth, president OF
the National Wool Growers associa-
ton, says the wool industry Is on q
reasonably sound basis and that no
effort will be made in 1881 to increase
output bu. that. instead. growers will
strive for increased quality.
Western potato growers suffered
with agriculture as a whole. in the
slump Of farm commodity prices. yet
prospects of an increase OF approx
mately 100 per cent in the acreage
of spring potatoes has been forecast.
