BLACKTOP AND
CEMENT WAR TO
FLARE IN COURT
Decision in Paving Feud
Object of Suit to Be
Aired tuesday.

Marion circuit court will be the
mecca of paving material attorneys
and promoters Tuesday when the
more than decade old controversy
between cement and blacktop in
terests is to have its day in court.
Although the docket discloses
merely an injunction suit brought
by a taxpayer against the state
highway commission, in the back
ground looms the clash of big bust
ness during a time of falling mar
kets and depression.
These interests include the once
highly organized and standard
priced Portland cement producers
and the various blacktop products
with such significant sponsors as
Standard Oil.
Blacktop Variants Hit
Whether "blacktop, blacktop and
blacktop" specifications meet re-
quirement Of the Indiana state
highway law for three types of paw
ing in all competition for bids is the
question involved in this suit.
Blacktop boosters say eyes" that
there is sufficient distinction be-
tween the various asphaltic con-
structions to meet the laws de-
mand.
Cement contractors and statesmen
say no" yet feel that if all bids
were on concrete there would be
sufficient competition between con-
tractors to meet the laws require
mentS.
Appeal Is Likely
They assert confidently that all
things being equal, brick or black
top never, under present knowledge
OF construction, can compete with
cement for the prize of the paving
dollar.
The suit was filed by Robert
OConnor, Fort Wayne road builder.
as a citizen and taxpayer asking
that the commission be inioined
from proceeding with the blacktop
construction on State Road 9. near
Huntington.
Whichever side is victorious, the
case likely will be taken into the
supreme court for a final ruling
which will give the commission
absolute legal backing for their
future guidance.

DRESSER BLAST
Supports American Ideals,
Defenders Retort.

By United Press
WHEELING, w. Va, June 81
West Virginia state and labor off,
Gals today answered charges made
by Theodore Dresser, the novelist,
against the American Federation of
Labor by defending the federation
as IAN organization based upon
American ideals as opposed to Com
muniSm.'
Harry Norrington, vice president
Of the state federation of labor,
said the American federation al
ways had discouraged radicalism. He
declared that the National Miners
union, which is sponsoring strikes
in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Ohio, fostered Communistic ideals.
Dreiser'S attack on the United
Mine Workers of America, aff1li-
ated with the American Federation
Of Labor, was answered by John
Cinque, president of SubdistrictS 5
and of the union. Sinque scored
the novelist's charges that the union
and federation were aligned with
capital.
In reply to the novelist's remarks
lauding the National miners union
Cinque said 1.-The N. M. U. must get
away from its radical ideas if it

Zeddie was the son of Frank

He has ordered the arrest of all

Home Grinding of Feed
Versus Custom Grinding

In many sections of the country
farmers are purchasing their own
grinding outfits and are no longer
hauling grain to the grist mill and
then back home, according to time
immemorial custom. 1t has been
stated that a good COW will eat an
average of 1000 pounds of grain per
year. Perhaps half of this will be
bran, oilcake gluten, etc.-material
that does not require grinding. The
amount of homegrown feed TO grind
for a 10-cow dairy, therefore, would
be about 10000 pounds yearly. Add
80 per cent for young stock, etc.. and
the farm requirement for grinding
would be 1900 pounds of grain year.
ly. With five-horse power motor the
time required for this grinding would
be 20 minutes each week; for a 20
COW farm, 40 minutes weekly. and so
on up the line 1t would seem, there
fore, that the time saved by home
grinding would be an important item,
especially when we consider that, with
proper arrangements, the grinding
could be done while the operator goes
on with other chores. The cost of
grinding at the custom mill is usually
10 cents per hundredweight, or S13 for
a 1O-cow farm and other sizes in pro-
portion.

Asparagus Valuable
Forward Truck Crop
Well-Cared for Plantation Is
Profitable for Years.

prepared by the United States Department
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Service.
Within the last ten or twelve years
asparagus mas become perhaps the
most important of all the perennial
vegetable crops in this country and
one of the most valuable early truck
crops. the United States Department
of Agriculture says.
Between 1918 and 1928 the aspara-
gus acreage of the country increased
from 10000 acres to- 94.930 acres.
More than % per cent of this acreage
is in the six states, California, New
Jersey. South Carolina, Georgia, ILL
nois and Maryland. More than half
of it is in California alone. About
half the asparagus is grown for fresh
consumption and half for canning.
The Sacramento and San Joaquin riv-
er valleys of California grow almost
all the asparagus for canning.
A wel-cared-for plantation may
yield profitable crops for 10 to 20
years. but as a rule it is advantageous
to renew the beds after eight or ten
years.
Ross @. Thompson, associate horti-
culturist in the Office of horticultural
crops and diseases, bureau of plant
industry of the department, outlines
conditions of soil, climate and culture
necessary for successful asparagus

Show Window Is
Latest Feature
New Bag Useful as Contain
er for Large Volume
of Produce.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture l-WNU Service.
The public, long advised against
buying pig in poke" can now dis
regard that bit of warming; that is,
if the poke happens to be one of the
new cotton bags with the "show-win-
dow" feature, recently devised by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the North
Carolina State College of Agriculture
and Engineering.
Suitable for Farm Products.
The new bag is result of the de-
partment's search for new uses for
cotton. 1t is now being offered to the
trade in small sizes suitable for pack
aging potatoes onions and other
farm products for sale to the retail
customer. The bag is woven in one
piece of cloth, but one side is of very
open mesh so that the contents may
be seen readily by the buyer. The
other side of fine mesh permits the
printing of the brand.
This "duplex" bag saves the retail
grocer the time necessary to weigh
each individual order. 1t also pre-
vents customers from picking over
the produce. This bag is more adapted
to the ready package in many in
stances than is paper bag. and when
the bag is empty the housewife can
rinse the sizing out of it and use it
as dust cloth
Promises to Be Popular.
The new bag was produced and put
into use too late last season to be
used as a container for a very large
volume of farm produce The attrac-
tiveness of the package, however. and
the fact that bags made from this
duplex" material can compete with
other bags in price are two of the
features which promise TO make it
popular during the coming year in
packaging farm products for the con-
sumner.
