and mills which are equipped to treat
seed wheat
! The recommendations for treating
wheat have not been changed since
| this smut control campaign was
started six years ago, in that it is
| being advised that either of The dust
materials be used at the rate of two
ounces to each bushel of seed The
= dust disinfcctants which are on the
market today include copper carbon4
ate, cOppercarb, sanOseed, and ce-
resan, either one of which will give
satisfactory control if the wheat is
treated in revolving drum or ma
chine where the dust may become
thoroughly distributed over the
grain
According to the surveys which
have been made by County Agent
Russell e. Wilson of the results of
this project in Kent county, it has
been shown that the number of
bushels of seed wheat treated for
smut has been increased from 4,SO0
in 1925 to 41,S4O in 1880, with a cor
responding increase in acreage
planted with treated seed amounting
to difference between $500 acres in
1925 and 27,900 acres last year.
When this campaign was started
in 1925, and for the next three years
thereafter, seed treatment meetings
were conducted in Kent County by
the plant pathologist and the county
agent with the result that this prac-
tice is now being followed by about
so per cent of the wheat growers in
this county. For the past three
years, however, this project has been
carried on entirely by means of such |
agencies as the local press and cir /
cular letters to the farmers, and this /
method of procedure will be followed /
in the future unless there should /
arise some occasion for resuming
these seed treatment demonstration.
A total of $50 farmers attended these
% method demonstration meetings
which were held in different sections

our years, and the spread of infu-

Enactment Of old age insurance legislation will be
urged in the Texas senate and house Of representa-
tives. Sen. G. A. Dill. Cd, of Washington. is leading
the fight for old age insurance in the American con-
gress. There are many senator's who are friendly to
the measure. In his address arguing for the enact
ment Of the measure the senator from Washington
said no movement before the country IS more worthy
Of support than the movement that provides the
comforts OF life for the aged poor. Declaring Is state
governors have urged such legislation, the western
senator said experience in the states which have ad-
opted it have shown il cost no more than the county
poorhouse system. Gov. Franklin d.. Roosevelt OF
New York Is a powerful advocate OF the system.
Bills have been prepared by Texans who are be-
hind the movement. Above the surface all is har-
mony under the big dome. Under the surface the
factions are preparing for battle royal OF a legislative
nature. Think Of a lineup on the one hand Of the
oil companies and the passenger and freight bus
companies with the railroads on the other fighting
for pipeline legislation which will give greater pro-
lection to the rail common carriers OF the Southwest.
There are wise ones who say that 1t may happen.

Duty or Embargo on Foreign
Crude the Demand

Rep. A. M Howsley is for a tariff or an embargo
on foreign crude. His resolution calling for congress
70 relieve present conditions in the oil industry was
given a favorable report by the Texas house oil com
nittee. OrvilIe Burlington Of the midcontinent ter
rttory. a millionaire and g republican leader. IS quoted
as having said a hundred thousand workers are idle in
the oil fields Of Texas on account Of foreign crude
imports. Howsley's resolution memoralized congress
either to fix a tariff on petroleum commodities from
other countries or to declare an embargo on such
shipments for a certain length Of time" The resolu-
ton set out that the domestic market is being ccstroy-
ed by the importation Of more than 100000 barrels Of
crude into this country daily.
Sen. Arthur Capper Of Kansas has q resolution pend
ing calling for an embargo on foreign crude. Senator
Shortridge Of California has a resolution pending
calling for a tariff Of a dollar a barrel on foreign
crude and its refined products. Now the big voices
OF the republican party are for non-action. That Is.
they would relegate the petitions and the bills Of the
independent oil operators and their spokesmen to the
new congress. which will organize In the month Of
December. 1881. A democratic administration placed
foreign crude on the free list. Three republican al
ministrations kept it on the free list. There is a
reason why.

Sec. Wilbur Changes His Mind

Secretary Wilbur Of the department Of the interior
does not subscribe TO the doctrine that consistency IS
the virtue OF a ID fool" 1t was early in the month
Of January that Secy. Wilbur declared q tariff on
foreign crude would lead to the financial ruin Of the
small operators. Now the drive Of the independents
for a limitation on foreign oil imports has gained sup
port from Secy. Wilbur. He Is not for 40 tariff. He
is for a half way embargo. This is his attitude: 1T
seems to me that the evident need is proration Of
imports under the guidance Of some fact finding
body such as the federal trade commission.
Calvin Coolidge while president dominated the fed
eral trade commission Pres. Hoover named the pres
ent federal trade commissioners. 1t is likely they will
recognize their masters voice. Pres. William Green OF
the American Federation OF Labor and the heads Of
the railroad brotherhoods are demanding "a legisla-
tive wall against the flow Of oil from abroad" Ralph
Arnold, a very noted engineer Of California, appeared
before the senate commerce committee and said he
believed there was enough oil In the United States to
meet the nations needs for 500 years at the rate OF
the present consumption Of one million barrels an
nually.
Sen. Samuel Shortridge, republican Of California.
has q bill pending FOR a tariff OF one dollar q barrel

Sen. Joseph Taylor Robinson OF Arkansas is much
in the limelignt. He has a ~six-point program. 1t has
the backing OF ell the democratic senators and the re-
publican prog-essives. A republican house defeated
the farm relief measures enacted by the senate. Nov
the six-point program Is on the way. These are the
demands: s25.OOOoo0 for relief: SIS 100000 for food

els of farm board wheat for the hungry: s5l000.0O0
for the organization OF relief corporations: reappropria-
ton Of s2,50O,00O for food relief In Southern states. All
of the proposals are pending in some form. Three OF
them now are attached to appropriation bills which
must be passed before March 1 If a special session
is to be avoided. Now for the showdown.

on crude oil exports. Sen. Capper, republican Of Kan
sas, has a bill pending proposing a limitation Of i6.-
OoO. 1000 barrels annually on OIL imports. Sen. Cappers
bill has the endorsement OF the labor representative
and the California engineer anc petroleum expert.

tives resoluted for a tariff on foreign crude.
If she democrats and the progressive republican sen
ators force an extra session Of the new congress live
Iy times are predicted on the banks Of the Potomac

problems which the president can not dodge BY
naming additional commissions. There should be a
