PRACTICAL SLOGAN

"See America First .t is des- tined to become worldwide slogan, If the bill sponsored by Representa- tive Leonidas c. Dyer of Missouri Is successful in the national legisla- ture. The Dyer bill has the folio " ing title describing It's benefits. "A bill to promote travel to, and in the United States and it's possessions, thereby promoting American busi- ness, and to encourage foreign travel in the United States"
 It is not the intention of its spon- sor nor of those supporting him to put the government in the tourist to be the fourth largest industry in the United States. The purpose is rather to cooperate with agencies already set up, and to aid them, through expert and authoritative re- search, to keep abreast of develop ments in the touring ground at home and in foreign countries.
 Travel within the United States has grown to tremendous propor- tions. It has resolved itself into a huge industry made possible by the annual vacationing of more than 25,- 100000 users of motor cars alone. IL 10 CollIlldlCu lIldI IL IldS the huge proportion of being a $3,- 00,000,000 American industry.
 The thought behind the present movement is that although Ar ri- cans are inveterate tourists they .till do not know their own country suf- ficiently. The idea has been tried suc- cessfully in foreign countries. CO., operating with groups in the ex ploitation of their home land.
 Practically every business and in- dustry is benefited by touring. The automobile industry owes no small portion of the 27,500,000 motor cars now in use to their availability for travel as recreation. Gasoline sales which totaled 5.000,0OO,0O0 gallons during 1890 have been augmented considerably by the tourist trade. Hotels of which there are reported to be nearly 3O,00O owe a large por- ton of their annual income esti- mated at $5,000, 100000 to the tour ists.

 Senator Caraway, democrat. Ar kansas, has described the house as the obedient instrument of the president. He also ridiculed Chair man Shell of the house rules com mittee as one of the three great men of the house who never opens his mouth except to express an- other mans will"
 The other two of this triumvirate could be identified as Speaker Long, worth and Majority Leader Tilson Such structures might be subject to point of order, but none in the senate has defended the house.
 MT Hoover is being severely. If privately, criticized, by republicans. Objection is made to his refusal on December ot accept the senate az riculture committee relief program which would have provide $6O,000,- 900. From the comparatively un- important dispute over that project has developed the present battle royal.

 Hoover in Conference
 Washington, Feb 3 -(UP)- The matter of the $25.0O0,000 appropri- ation for Red Cross relief work, passed by the senate and thus far rejected by the house, was taken be- fore to-day's meeting of his cabinet by President Hoover.
 It was understood that Secretaries Mellon, Hyde and Wilbur sided ac- lively with President Hoover in his opposition to the measure. Secretary Hyde was equipped with statistics showing the demands which the ag- ricultural regions have been making upon the government as result of their distress and on how these de- mands are being met.
 Before the cabinet meeting MT Hoover conferred at breakfast with Senator Watson, repn, Ind, leader of the senate republicans. Watson and the president discussed means of breaking the deadlock between the senate and the house over the ap- propriation, but it was indicated

 attempt or effort to stop, but con- tlnued on and turned off the main highway at Oakville looking for a | friend. Not being able to locate him
 he returned to the main highway and
 continued on to Waterbury, where
 he was apprehended some time later at the home of his mother-in-law.
 At the time he was brought to Wa
 terpury he showed indications of
 having been drinking, but when an
 examination was made about three
 hours after the accident, it was inn possible to say then that he was un- der the influence of liquor, although | he had been drinking.
 Miss Wood was taken to her home and later to the Waterbury hospital. where she died at 2:35 o'clock on l the mol ming of October 18th, 1880
 from multiple fracture associated
 with very severe shock Bendix
 maintained that he had not been
 drinking prior to the accident and
 that he had driven over that after | noon from New York state. His
 headlights prior to the accident were apparently in good condition, his car
 in good condition, and he admitted
 having bought before he came to Connecticut intoxicating liquor in New York which he brought with him.
 can not see how a man could strike a person as Miss Wood was struck by Bendix's car and not know it, if he were in his proper mental condition, and although he was not actually under the influence of liquor at the time he was examined, it IS
 my belief that he was at the time the accident occurred.
 I find that said death was caused by multiple fractures received when deceased was struck by the automo- bile operated by Henry Bendix, and
 that said death was caused by the
 gross and criminal negligence of the said Henry Bendix.'

 Having shown President Hoover and the present huse leaders had supported an appropriation of $20,- 0O0,O0O for the Red Cross in 1919. Caraway said he wanted to ask some questions. They were:
 MT. Hoover-"Mr Hoover. you said on Nov. 1, that no deserving person in this country should be hungry or cold. You hold up this $25,000,000 appropriation. Now, will you tell us whether you are playing with human misery or whether these people are not deserving?"
 Tilson-"T want him to tell us the truth. He was not telling the truth both times. One of these statements was not the truth and he knew i."
 Snall-"Could he be right both times?"
 Payne-'T want John Barton Payne to tell us the origin of the resolution to decline a federal con- tribution. Who wrote it? Who asked it's promulgation?"
 Caraway said at the time of the 1919 appropriation MT. Hoover was seeking the presidency.

 House republican leaders report the senate is likely to pass full cash payment bill. This makes the house problem more acute. It's lead CTS would have been in better strategic position had they worked out a compromise measure and passed it in the house first. But they did not realize the force of the movement, and now are resigned to the senate acting first.
 Democratic Floor Leader Garner. sponsor of an optional plan for payment of the present face value of the certificates. charged to-day that republicans merely were pro- longing the hearings in an effort to kill the legislation if possible.
 "Mr Hawley is calling all those he can find who are opposed to the bills" Garner said.
 The compromise proposals have been suggested. One, offered by Senator Vandenberg. repn, Mich, | would increase the limit of loans on the certificates from 22h F to 50 per cent of their face value. The other

 The former is not acceptable to cash payment advocates. The lat | ter has been seriously considered in | the last few days by administration | officials, who now believe they would have to go further than the Van denberg plan to meet the rising | tide.
 Gamers plan would permit vet erans to take cash now for the pres ent value of their certificates, plus i25 per cent with interest at per cent. This would cost the govern ment more than billion dollars.

 Gen Hines Testifies. Washington, Feb 3.-(UP)-Gen- eral Frank T. Hines, head of the U. s. Veterans bureau, testifying before the senate finance committee to-day, refused to endorse any of the four plans for readjusting veterans com- pensation which have been suggest ed to congress.
 My best advice is." he said. "that the congress should give con sideration to the further extension of benefits to the disabled, to the widows and orphans of deceased ex- service men, and to the building of additional hospitals and soldiers homes to care for the sick, and leave the able bodied ex-service men to take their places along with the other citizens of the country in working out their own salvation in these distressing times"

bury. Attorney Larliin, former state attorney and for several years lobbyist for the City of Waterbury would have the general assembly name the judges of the court of common pleas of Waterbury and that both judges would have the privilege of naming the prosecuting attorney, clerk and assistant clerk.
 The attitude of his excellency as we'll as that of various democratic members of the legislature indicates that serious opposition will be raised against the passage of such bill. In previous years it was the exclu- sive right of the governor to name the Judges. Many prominent repub- lican members in the assembly are inclined to frown on the adoption of such an evident ripper bilP' con- corning the Brass City alone.

 Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of General Electric, and ire quently mentioned as possible democratic presidential candidate in 1892, was invited to appear to-mor- row. This is regarded as an adroit political move on Hawley's part be- cause of Young's influence among democrats, strongly in favor of the cash payments.
 The senate committee was to act to-day after a week of hearings.

were carried out when the crop was
planted. Mr.. Kidder pointed out that
the success of growing alfalfa de-
pended largely on two points: First,
the preparation of the seed bed. Sec
ond, the rate of seed per acre.
Alfalfa should be seeded preferably
on summerfallow, corn land, or other
land that has a reasonable amount of
subsoil moisture. The reason for this
is that during the month of July and
August, which is usually a hot dry
season, the roots of alfalfa will have
sufficient moisture to carry the plant
through this season. In many cases
where alfalfa has been seeded on land
that was depleted in subsoil moisture,
the alfalfa made a satisfactory growth
during the fore part of the season,
but during the dry season of July and
August the plants withered and died
due to insufficient moisture.
Alfalfa should be seeded prefer
ably without a nurse crop, but where
it is desirable to plant a nurse crop
the best one to use is flax. Many good
stands of alfalfa have been ruined
when seeded with a crop such as bar
ley, wheat or oats, especially where
the nurse crop has been for hay. The
alfalfa plants when grown with a
nurse crop are very tender because
they have been shaded and when the
crop has been removed the alfalfa
plants wither and die. The root sys-
tenn of the nurse crop develops more
rapidly than the root system in the
alfalfa crop, therefore using up the
subsoil moisture, and when hot, dry
weather sets in during the late sum-
mer the alfalfa plants have no re-
serve moisture to carry them thru.
Many farmers have made the mis-
take in using too much seed per acre,
especially when planted on bench
land. Results from the southern part
of the state, which is one of the larg-
est producing areas, show that when
alfalfa is seeded in AZ inch rows at
the rate of one pound of seed per
acre, it will yield just as much forage
