NEW FIVE YEAR
 PLAN DEvEL0PES
Use of Mineral and Non- Metallic Materials
 Is Sought

MOSCOW, July 21.-Wider de- velopment and use of mineral and nonmetallic materials take a prom inent place in studies now being made prerapatory to drafting Rus jas new Five Year Plan
 The planners hope to find new ]ources of energy, phase in which hey admit Soviet Russia hereto fore has Jagged.
 "One of the fundamental ques- ions of the second Five Year Plan that of mineral raw materials as | base for the development of in- iustry," said Academician Fersman member of the commission for pre- ,aring the plan.
 This raw material occupies a ow place in our economic life since ts preparation for exploitation Is far from satisfactory. We must find new beds of ore, salts and non- metallic minerals like coal, petro- cum and lime
 The laws of economic geography must give us the answer as to where our industrial centers must be located.
 Furthermore, we must find cheaper electro-induction materials.
 The establishment of new sources of energy during the next five year period will mean com plete change in ideas about useful minerals. What we do not consider valuable now in relation to cheaper power may suddenly become the base for whole line of new prod ucts.'

Rudy Reueals His Taste in Beauty;
 And She's EsactIy Like His Wife!
By c. E. BUTTERFIELD GA. P. Radio Editor)


 NEW YORK, July 21.-Rudy Val lee has revealed his idea of femi- nine beauty through the girl he has taken as his wife.
 She is not blonde, which gen. tlemen are said to prefer, but 8 pronounced brunei. Tall and slen. der, the top of her head is just level with Rudy's eyes, and she has flashing black eyes, together with very dark hair, and Is of the so-called feminine type. Her name, now familiar to news paper readers, was Fay Webb and her career was the stage and the movies. Incidentally, Fay Webt was the name under which she was christened by her parents in Santa Monica, Cal.
 But now that she is Mrs. Rudy Vallee, wife of the young man who came from college to introduce a different type of singing and or chestra conducting to radio, her as- pirations to a career behind the footlights and movie cameras are to be forgotten.
 Her sole purpose in life now Is to be centered in her wifely duties, which are to include the manage ment of the $10,0o0 a year apart ment in New York, where they will live for some time because of con- tracts that will hold the husband in the metropolis.
 The romance of Rudy and Fay covered nearly two years. They feel they are ideally suited.
 Rudy in speaking about his bride, said that while she might be of "the theatrical type, she is home girl and my ideal
 She can sew" he said "and makes many of her own clothes. She can cook, too, but I never have had an opportunity for demon- startion yet.
 "Our marriage was not sudden move. We have known for a long time when the date would be.
 Mrs. Vallee is a good pianist and loves music. She can play Rhapsody in Blue She likes golf"
 Fay isn't going to be jealous of Rudy's feminine admirers, she de- clares.
 ITO me Rudy Is Just like an ordinary man. I never have been jealous and I'm never going to be" she says.
 But to Rudy the fact that he was to leave bachelorhood caused him to ponder considerably over the effect 1t might have upon his audiences.
 T thought over that situation seriously, and finally came to the conclusion" he declared, that the support of our fans was not en- tirely due to my eligibility as bachelor.
 T do not believe there will be any falling off in their interest. That interest all depends upon the material one gives them in the way of entertainment"
 Getting back to the subject now closest to his heart, Rudy did not hesitate to say we are very happy together"
 Mrs. Vallee's stage life has been devoted to dancing. She doesn't sing.

Sweet Clover Pastures
of Important Benefit

"All in all the benefits from sweet
clover under pasture are largely due
to the uneaten residues left on the
soil, to roots left in the soil, to the
general improvement of the physical
condition of the soil and to the sup
preston of weeds by pasturing,"
states Fl. L. Walster, in charge of
agronomy work at the North Dakota
Agricultural college.
"Under pasturing there is consid-
cradle return of nitrogen through
both the liquid and the solid manure
left in the field by the live stock.
The liquid manure, however, is sub
ject to rapid nitriication and leach
ing so that it is unlikely to be of any
material benefit to the succeeding
crop, while the solid manure is un-
evenly distributed and some teaching
losses take place in it, ALSO"
Just what are the effects Of pas
turing as compared to the effects Of
other treatments upon the soil mois-
ture conditions is not known, DR.. Wal
ster says. 1t seems likely that a
closely pastured sweet clover field
does not draw as much water from
the soil as when two crops of hay are
taken.

Care of Young Turkeys
Is of Much Importance

When the poults are very young the
hem should be placed in an enclosure
made over four boards foot wide and
twelve or fourteen feet long set on
edge and well nailed together to pre-
vent falling. In a week the little turks
will learn the call of the hen and not
be so likely to follow moving objects
and thereby become chilled. When the
hen is first turned out, care must be
exercised not to let her go to branch
or get in swampy land Until poults
are six or eight days old, they seem
to relish and to grow on rolled oats
and chopped grass or soy bean leaves.
They should have all the clean sour
milk they will drink. After ten days
they may be gradually given cottage
cheese, dry bread crumbs and wheat
bran. A change of feed for turkeys
should always be made by mixing with
a former food or they may refuse to
eat enough to keep up the growth Of
body so important to combat disease.
If turks are to be allowed to range,
at an early age, they may be turned
into a pasture field where the grass is
short and it is dry. They soon follow
the mother hen and in few days they
will come up for food at any regular
time. They always come in before
night if they find food waiting.

Grain Rusts Formed
by Natural Crossing
New Importance Given to
Burberry Eradication.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )-WNU Service.
The reason certain rust-resistant va
rieties of wheat and rye lose their re-
sistance to stem rust is that new n.y.
brid forms Of rust constantly arise.
DR.. Moses N. Levine and DR.. Ralph
q. Cotter, pathologists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, sus-
pected that new rust forms were orig
mating by the interviewing Of old
forms and were overstepping the
bounds of resistance of certain So
/ called resistant varieties Of both
wheat and rye not formerly damaged
by either parent rust. The reaction Of
this hybrid was almost identical with
that of rust, described in 1911 and
scientifically termed Puccinia grami-
mis- Hordei, which, the scientists now
assume, originated by similar proc
ess Of hybridization in nature.
The discovery gives new Importance
to barberry eradication throughout the
wheat belt, for it is while the rust
spores inhabit the barberry leaf that
various strains interbreed and create
new hybrids. For many years it has
been common knowledge that stem
rust survives in northern wheat-grow-
ing regions only by means Of the stage
produced on barberry bushes. In
warmer regions rust can survive with
out barberry bushes. 1t now becomes
evident that no plant breeder can be
sure his new variety Of wheat or rye
will remain resistant to rust in the
presence Of barberry bushes on which
new hybrid forms of rust may arise.

Old Fertilizers
Coming Into Use
Many Less Common Ele-
nents Considered Nom
essential Find Favor.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )-WNU Service.
Although fertilizers have generally
been considered complete with only
the principal plant food elements, nj
trogen, phosphorus, and potash, the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture has found that many Of the
less common elements heretofore con-
sidered nonessential or present in the
soil In sufficient quantities may de-
serve a place in the fertilizer bag.
Deficient In Elements.
In large areas in the United States
some Of the soils are deficient in man.
ganese, sulphur, iron magnesium, and
chlorine. Experiments in the green
houses have shown beneficial plant
growth responses to applications Of
copper, boron. iodine, zinc, arsenic,
barium, nickel, and other less common
elements.
The everglades and east coast re
gions of Florida, where trucking is
the chief form Of agriculture, have
been found deficient in manganese
and have been made highly productive
by application of about so pounds of
manganese sulphate an acre. Within
the last two years this new fertilizer
has come into general use. 1t has been
credited in some cases, with improv-
ing the yield Of tomatoes by IT'S to
450 crates an acre, the yield of beans
by 81 tons an acre, the yield of cab
bage by 42,1O7 pounds an acre, and
the yield of potatoes by $50 bushels an
acre. 1t has trebled and quadrupled
the size of carrots and beets and
doubled the size of cauliflower.
Chlorine Helps.
On light sandy soils in some tobac-
co-growing regions an application of
20 to 80 pounds of chlorine per acre,
in the form of muriate of potash, i'm
proves the yield, quality, and drought
resistance of the crop.
A large proportion of the light sandy
tobacco soils are deficient in magnesi-
UNI and at least 10 to 20 pounds per
acre of this element must be included
in the fertilizer if normal crop is to
be obtained. Magnesium deficiency
produces characteristic symptoms in
the plant and the condition is popular
ly known as sand drown.

Cattle Feeding Has No
Definite or Set Rules

Cattle feeding is a business that
does not adapt itself to any definite
rules. About the only thing that is
certain is that conditions change. Be-
cause Farmer Jones did it this way,
or that way, with success, is not suf-
ficient reason for assuming that his
plan will repeat on his farm or your
farm.
To be a successful cattle feeder,
learn all you can about the business
from different sources, and then fit
these different factors into your own
farm conditions as best you can. No
body knows what the future market
will be. On rising market it is we'll
to have your neighbours corn in your
cattle, but on mean market too much
Of the other fellows corn may ruin
the feeder.

of the association, Mr.. Curran declared
that the dry cause had not advanced
an inch during 1880, while the wet
movement had registered important
gains. He asserted that the November
election doubled the wet representa-
ton in the house and raised the SEN
ate wet group from IS two years ago,
to % at present. He said the house
now has a wet vote of 100, compared
with 76 in 1928.
G ECRETARY Of Agriculture Hyde
y denies that he is to blame for de-
lay in distributing the $20,0O0,000
drought relief fund. In letter reply
ing to a resolution introduced by Sen
ator Caraway asking why Mr.. Hyde
had not begun the distribution, the
secretary said:
II have the honor to inform the SEN
ate that because of the extended de-
bate upon the appropriation of $780,
100000 contained in the Interior de-
partment bill. and because of the I'M
certainty as to the provisions of the
act, it was not possible to work out
the administration and accounting
problems entailed until the act was
finally passed and its provisions def
nitely known"
He explained the machinery which
the department had set up in order
to distribute loans through intermedi-
ate credit organizations and directly
to the farmer.
"There exists now no reason why
application for loans may not now be
received and payment made shortly
thereafter" he concluded.

FARM NOTES

Call upon your grocer to save you
a few shallow boxes for seed flats.
One dollar invested in IS per cent
bulk superphosphate to mix with ma
nure can be counted on to return from
J So to IS in increased crops.
Try some pole beans this year as
space economizer. One pole occupies
little more space than one hill Of bush
beans and gives a vastly greater sup
ply of beans.
When the horses are allowed one
feed a day of good alfalfa or clover
hay. with all the other roughage they
will eat, no grain will be required I'M
til the last few weeks before spring
work begins.
Corn silage, up to ten or fifteen
pounds per day, is good for horses. 1t
should be fed with some good hay,
however. Moldy silage must be avoid
ed as it is poisonous to horses and fire.
quently causes death.
Plant a better string bean this year
than you did last If last years showed
any signs of strings. There are real
stringless string beans now. Look
over the catalogues of reliable seed
houses. They will tell you.
With feed scarce in many sections
and grain costs relatively high cou-
pied with the unsatisfactory cattle
market, there may be a tendency for
feeders to cut their feeding period
short rather than lengthen 1t.
