Iron in Many Mineral
Mixtures Does Not Help

"The principal use for iron on
the farm is still in farm machinery
and not in mineral mixtures for
live stock" according to DR.. II. II.
Mitchell, chief in animal nutrition,
University of Illinois. Experiments
at the university indicate that COM
mon forms of iron used in many
complex mineral mixtures are
worthless in general live stock feel
ing, he states. Treatment of nutri-
tional anemia affords the only
known legitimate use for iron salts
in live stock rations at the present
time The disease, which is rare,
is traceable solely to strict milk
feeding.
Iron oxide. the most commonly
used form, did not appreciably
benefit anemic pigs. even when
given in large doses, although they
responded readily to soluble iron
salts. When rations are fed con-
tanning iron-rich food like tankage,
the feeding of iron in minerals
seemed to cause tendency toward
an unfavorable effect, Mitchell con
cludes.

Swine Sanitation Cuts
Feed Cost 20 Per Cent

BY practicing the system of sani-
tation developed by the United
States Department of Agriculture
to control internal parasites of
swine. Frank Street. a Kentucky
farmer. raises more pigs at less
cost than formerly. This year his
~ brood sows farrowed 594 pigs,
an average of SH pigs per litter.
Some of the sOws farrOwed in the
spring others in the fall. Accord
ing to information which Mr..
Street furnished the department,
the swine sanitation system result
ed in 30 more pigs raised from
the ~ brood soys, compared with
former experience. Besides, he re-
ported the entire absence of runts
and saving of 20 per cent in feed
cost. The system consists essen
TALLY in having sOws farrow in
clean quarters and preventing pigs
from becoming infested with para
sites by raising them on clean pas
ture instead of in old hog lots.

Hl.lVE
STOCK@
WELL NOURISHED
HEIFERS FAVORED
Two-Year-Old Is Not Too
Young to Bear Calf.

Many progressive Colorado ranch
good breeding has enough feed OF
good quality, she can successfully
produce and raise as satisfactory
calf as a twO-year-Old. says B. w.
Fairbanks, associate professor of
animal husbandry at the Colorado
Agricultural college.
Death losses among such heifers
that are given plenty of nOuish-
ing feed will not be high, Fair-
banks adds, and the heifers will
be just as big at maturity as they
would have been if they had had
their first calves as three-year-OldS.
In other words, two-year-Old is
not too young to bear a calf if she
is in sound physical condition as
the result of a generous supply of
wholesome feed, it is emphasized.
Ranchmen who are successful In
this practice as a rule have reserve
pastures in which there is plenty
of good grass and water and in
which they put their twOyear-Old
fore and after calving. When heif-
ers calve before these pastures are
available, II Is necessary, of course,
to supply sufficient feed to meet the
additional requirements of these
young cows that have not yet at
tanned their full growth.
Some ranchmen say they would
never have a heifer calve until she
is three years old. if they could
prevent it, but that it is impractical
or impossible for them to maintain
pastures that will separate the
yearling heifers from the bulls.
Under such conditions it would be
advisable to see that these young
cows obtain good feed for at least
two months before the calves are
born, and during the sucking pc
riod.

Lambs Born With Goiter
in Northwestern States

Lambs often are born without
wool. especially in the northwest
ern states. and in such an enfeebled
condition do not long survive. This
condition is associated with goiter,
and close examination shows the
thyroid glands on both sides of the
upper part of the neck enlarged
The cause is an absence or marked
deficiency of iodine in the feed of
ewes during pregnancy. 1t can be
prevented by adding small amount
of iodine to the drinking water of
these ewes. Dissolve One-half ounce
of potassium of iodide in a pint
of water, add to the drinking wa
ter, and mix well. This quantity is
sufficient for each 100 ewes If given
every day.

Keep Stock Cattle OFF
Grass Early in Season

In the case of stock cattle that
have been carried through the win
ter on hay feed only. it is always
much better if they can be kept
off grass until there is a good
supply of real food nutrients in its
makeup. Even then it is better if
the animals can be turned on grass
only part time each day and en-
couraged to eat hay as much as
possible. Just how far to go in
this respect will be influenced to
some extent by the amount and cost
of feed on hand. The man who
has plenty of homegrown hay on
the farm will not hurry his cattle
onto grass as much as will the man
who must pay high cash price for
hay and perhaps haul it several
miles to his farm.

Interest Fallacv

Probably the great majority of
unthinking business men believe
that interest is low when money is
plentiful, and high when money is
scarce. This view, however, is fall
lacious and the failacy consists in
forgetting that plentiful money ul-
timately raises the demand for
loans just as much as it raises the
supply. Therefore it has just as
much tendency to raise interest as
to lower it.

UNION PAY URGED
ON D. C. PROJECTS
BY SECRETARY D0AK
Continued From First Page.)

Mai. H. L. Robb, assistant Engineer
Commissioner in charge OF the Dis
trict's building program, several weeks
tracts for municipal work the wage
scales paid by the District to its own
workers as a minimum. He Withdrew
the recommendation, however, when
advised by the Districts legal authori-
ties that this would be unwise.
The minimum scale proposed by Maj.
Robb was considerably less than that OF
the union workers, and was strongly
opposed by organized labor, who con-
tended the scale on which it works
constitutes the prevailing wage scale"
referred to in the Bacon-Davis act.
So far as Is known, complaints have
been made against only two contractors
engaged in work for the District for
failing to adhere to the prevailing
scale" Secretary Doak named them as
the Charles S. Bennett Co. of Phila-
delphia and the w. p. Rose Co., in
letter to the Commissioners August 81
In this communication, he said COM
plants had been filed at his office re-
garding these two concerns. He asked
the Commissioners for the rates paid
on their work in the District.
The Rose company is building the adj
dition TO the Woodbridge School. Farm
buildings are being erected by the Ben
nett company at Blue Plains, D. c.
The scale of the Rose company has
never been disclosed. but District ON
Gals said it is lower than the union
scale. The Bennett company scale was
reported to be IS cents an hour for
common labor, 10 cents for carpenters
80 cents for steel workers and brick
layers, rs cents for plasterers, 90 cents
for plumbers and steamfitters, 20 cents
for electricians, 80 cents for tile set

Newly Married Women Drawing Money From
Government, although SUPPORTED by
Husbands, Present Problem.

the married women who would work If
given the chance from those who would
not, since under present circumstances
it is not possible to offer either a job?
Amendment Holly Debated.
An amendment recently discussed in
Parliament to make every married
woman qualify all over again after
marriage in order to catch the shirk-
ers was hotly debated and brought
warm defenders of the present system
who became eloquent uplofders of q
prosecuted sex. Mr.. Buchanan, who
having first declared that he had in
his district the biggest biscuit factory
in the, world" employing women, said
in part;
are blamed. When q cabinet minister
goes wrong, We look for any excuse
and say It's woman If member OF
Parliament fails to keep his promise
some one comes along and says It's a
woman What are we proposing? A
married woman must qualify after mar
riage. II she does not marry, but CO.
habits with a man, she gets benefit. II
you go straightforwardly and marry
you are penalized, but If you live in
sin you get your weekly benefit from
the government"
1t was etimated by the debaters that
800, 900 married women would be affect
ed by Legislation upon this anomaly"
Anot'ic: Anomaly Presented.
Mr.. III .hanan did not mention an.
other anomaly, along the general line
of his thought about wronged virtue
1t was disclosed that dependent women
living with men to whom they were not
married drew the same dole that a
dependent wife drew It was finally
ruled that a dependent thus abiding
must be the housekeeper and that the
man must have tsleast two children
before taking into his home a depend
ent housekeeper.
Another anomaly has to do with en-
ployed married women about to become
mothers. These women are often dis
charged by their employers some weeks
before there confinement Is expected
They claim they are still At for light
work and often claim their unemploy-
ment benefit up to the very birth OF
the child, even though by the very ma
ture Of things the expectant mother has
not the slightest chance of obtaining
work, and could not perform 1t If
she did.
Therefore, many thousands are actu-
ally born into the dole, justifying the
somewhat peppery claim of an irritated
Conservative author of prominence who
said they live on the dole. get married
on the dole and have babies on the
dole"

DRIVE MAKING IDLE
!. PICK COTTON GAINS
Police Roundup of Joblsss
Spreads From Arkansas
Into Two More States.
BY the Associated Press.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September 2e.
Warnings went out today to the I'M
employed in several towns in Arkansas
and neighboring States to go to the cot
ton fields or to Jail.
Inaugurated at Helena. in Southeast
Arkansas. few days ago, the cam
paign of police authorities to drive the
idle loiterers from the city streets with
threats of arrests for vagrancy. and ct
the same time supply a shortage OF cot
ton pickers. had spread to at least one
other town in Arkansas and into
Mississippi and Texas.
Sheriff J. j. Holmes at Devalls Bluff,
Ark, began a drive there to force the
unemployed into the cotton and also the
rice fields, where labor shortage exists.
Ofi1cials of Bowie County, Tex, on the
Southeast Arkansas border, prepared to
take similar action beginning Monday.
Meanwhile, at Helena. where the cot
ton-picking enforcement drive started,
police and county officials continued to
round up loitererS and send them into
the fields. Trucks leave with the work
ers every morning and return them from
the fields at night.
The low rate paid fer cotton picking.
35 and 40 cents a hundred, has not at
tracted sufficient number of pickerS in
many sections of the cotton belt.
Although the situation has not vet
become serious, agricultural leaders
said that with shortage Of pickere,
period of rainy and stormy weather
would result in heavy damage to the
cotton crop.

Maryland Legislature, through many
high posts in the Government to a
term Of % years as the head of the Su-
preme Court, during which he admins
tered the oath of Office to seven Presi-

Where the Chief Justice concerned
himself almost entirely with the works

Former United States Senator and Governor
of Kansas

Former United States Senator and Governor
OF Kansas
All over England I have heard of the
growing problem of married women who
are taking advantage of the dole in a
fashion not intended by the act. The
interim report OF the Royal Commits
sion cites it; the subject broke out in
the parliamentary debates last month
lust before Parliament adjourned This
subject is on the mind of the manager
of every labor exchange who sees a
large contribution going out weekly to
a class which is not dependent upon
the dole, but which under technical APP
plication Of the act is within strict legal
rights.
1t works thus: A woman who has
engaged in an insurable employment
marries. Prior to her marriage she had
paid her contributions OF pence q
week to the unemployment insurance
fund. Many employers refuse to en-
gage married women; they dismiss them
upon the theory that the woman can
depend upon her husband for main
tenance and the Job she held will be
filled by some one who needs 1t.
Still Eligible for Dole.
The newly married woman, even
though her husband may be making a
wage ample for her support, remem-
bers that she has always kept up her
insurance The fact that she has been
dismissed from an insurable employ
ment for no other fault than that she
has married makes her eligible to col
lect the dole. She may have been a
weaver in Manchester and moved to
London with her new husband. There
is no weaving here, but she can apply
for any other insurable occupation.
She may signify her willingness, for
example, to take job as a char
woman. She knows that this occupa-
ton is overfull and that there Is no
danger of her getting work at this.
Nevertheless her failure to find work at
this lob which she did not want, and
probably would not take, renders her
eligible to her dole, and she goes upon
the unemployed register at Is shillings
per week. Her husband may be draw
ing $40 per week, which would be pig
wage in England, but this In no wise
interferes with her right to take about
81 per week from the government.
1t Is a problem not easy to settle
because in England many women do
work after marriage, especially in dis
tricts where women are employed In
large numbers in the industries.
But" says the Royal Commission,
1--WE cannot avoid the conclusion that
under present conditions married wonn-
en- who have no wish to work have no
difficulty in obtaining unemployment
benefit. We are satisfied on the EVIL
dence before us that there are many
! married women receiving benefit who
since their marriage have not worked
and have no intention of doing So"
But how are you going to separate

complete withdrawal of troops from
positions occupied in Southern Man
churia since the conflicts of last Satur-
day and that withdrawal already mao
begun.
was Forthcoming. government leaders
privately said the Geneva news was
discouraging and disappointing; emma pa
had hoped Its recently acquired seat IN
the League would be a big factor In
settling its differences with Japan.
The note of Henry L. Stimson,
American Secretary of State, urging
Japan and China to confine military
opera lions in Manchuria to require
ments of international law, reached
Marking only today through american
Minister johnson at Peiping. Hence
no official statement was made.
The Chinese press and government
circles were made aware of the Arneri-
can note yesterday. and expressed
deep qualification. Some newspapers
interpreted 1t as a stern rebuke TO
japan.
Bitterness against Japan has resulted
in the old Chinese weapon-the boy

be the most severe ban on Japanese
trade since 1919.
