did not have any exact figures on which
he based his statements.
Both La Guardia and Representative

the Community Chest was not an or
ganization to afford immediate relief
for transients and others growing out
OF the emergency situation but was
simply an agency to collect at one time
all the funds needed for the 65 men,

charged Holiday with unfairness in

La Guardia and Byrne both claimed
the e350.0o0 would be paid out Of the
District revenues in the same way that

lump sum contribution was raised by
Representative Mapes Of Michigan,
chairman Of the special committee
which investigated fiscal relations Of
the District.

Mapes said the House provision for
SIS 500 900 was recommended because
the House earlier had adopted the five
Mapes bills for increasing the tax bur-

cents under one of the bills, was voiced
by Representative Davis of Tennessee.
He also criticized the 81 automobile

ney James o. Moore attempted to show
the Justice Department after an in
vestigation of the spurious authorize
tions had been started. After bringing
out that Coblentz made several trips
to the Justice Department, where he
was questioned by Assistant Attorney
General Nugent Dodds and Neil Burk-
inshaw, a special assistant, Moore asked
the witness if, on January l8, 1881, he
wrote the following in his diary:
The manner in which Mr.. Dodds ap-
preached me impressed me with the
idea they were trying TO intimidate
me-"
Coblentz said he could not remember
having made such an entry and that II
he had done so it was only a con-
clusion on his part. He SAID that when
he first went to the Justice Department
on January 18 Mr.. Dodd5 advised him
TO engage a lawyer in whom ne hao
complete confidence.

After bringing out the fact Coblentz
had telephoned Raichle on January 90.
1881, Moore asked the witness If Mr..
Burkinshaw had told him to have two
disinterested persons listen in on the
telephone conversation. Coblentz said
Burkinshaw had made some such sus-
gestion. Coblentz said he had his own
stenographer and a business associate
listen in. The stenographer made an
exact copy of the conversation between
Raichle and himself. which was for
warded to the Justice Department.
Moore then asked him If he met
Edwards in Dodds' Office on January

Did Mr.. Dodd and Mr.. Burkinshaw
leave tie room when you started to
talk to Edwards, and then listen in to

Coblentz replied he had heard indi-
rectiy that they had done so and that

NAZIS HIT AT JEWS
Property Conhscation Voted at
Diet Session.

BERLIN. June 81 tP).-In the early
hours of Sunday morning, when the
House was almost empty. the Prussian
Dist passed a national Socialist taxation
bill. which provides. among other things
for the confiscation of the property Of
all Jews who immigrated from the East
after 1914.
The measure is simply recommends
ton to the federal government and has
no binding effect.
The confiscation is justified, in the
language of the bill, on the grounds
that the property involved was acquired
by a rapacious, productive race,
and hence constituted immoral acqui-

Results of Wintering
Steers on Alfalfa Hay
A western Iowa reader writes:

A western Iowa reader writes:
''How much weight will 600-pound
steer put on when fed nothing but
alfalfa hay during the winter? How
many pounds of feed can l get from
a ton of alfalfa hay?"
Of course, lot depends on how
thin the steers are at the beginning
of the winter, as well as on the quail
ity Of the hay. But on the average,
we would expect the steers to gain
just little over a pound per head
daily, provided they are fed all the
hay they will eat, which will prob
ably be around 25 pounds. We would
expect ton of good alfalfa to pro-
duce about 100 pounds of gain on mod
erately thin steers during the winter.
With corn as cheap as it is this
year, we wonder if it will not pay to
substitute five or six pounds of corn
for ten pounds Of alfalfa, thus making
the average daily ration Is or 20
pounds Of hay and five or six pounds
of corn. This should increase the av-
erage daily gains to little better
than one and half pounds without
any great increase in the cost.-Wal;
lace's Farmer.

Stewards Disease New
Threat To Sweet Corn

AS If the corn ear worm were not
"bad enough in itself, new problem
has been faced by growers of sweet
corn in many sections of the country.
The new pest is known as Stewards
disease, a bacterial pest which causes
heavy loss through whiting Of the
plants.
The worst Of it is, once the disease
is discovered there is nothing which
can be done about it but watch the
corn be destroyed, for there is no
known remedy.
The bacteria causing the disease
get in the water vessels of the plant
and clog them so that moisture is
withheld from the upper part of the
plant. The first symptoms are yell
lowing Of the leaves, which shortly aft
er is followed by whiting and ultimate
death Of the entire plant. The dis
ease can be carried from plant to
plant by birds and insects and the bac-
terium may also live over in the
ground on which the infected corn has
been grown. The only known solu-
ton Of the problem is to grow types
of corn not subject to the disease.

Foreign Clovers

In recent years most of the red
clover seed imported to this country
has come from France and Poland.
Other countries that have sent seed
here are Italy, Canada, Chile, Eng
land and Germany. The United States
imports more red-clover seed than it
exports.
American winters proved difficult
for many of the imported clovers, the
tests showed. Wherever winter condi-
lions are likely to be severe, most of
the imported red clovers will suffer
more than the better domestic lots,
says the department.
The foreign clovers, when they pass
the winters successfully, may give a
fair to good first cutting, but the Sec
ond crop is nearly always inferior and
is often so poor as not to warrant
cutting. The foreign clovers often die
Immediately after the first cutting.

Large Number Of
Cattle on Farms
Slaughter Increase Sure for
Next Few Years,
Report Says.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.-WNU Service
The number of cattle on farms has
been increasing since 1928 and is ex-
pected to result in marked increase
in cattle slaughter within the next few
years, according to the summary Of
the beef cattle outlook issued by the
bureau of agricultural economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The number slaughtered during
the first half of 1882 was the smallest
for the period In many years, the re-
port states. If this slaughter contin-
ues small during the remainder Of the
year the number Of cows on farms
January 1, 1888, will be near the larg-
est total ever recorded in this coun-
try.
Although the total number of cattle
in the United States is larger than a
year ago, the number on feed is small
er. Marketings of grass cattle from
the western states during the remain
der of the year probably will be larg-
er than in the corresponding period
last year. Because Of favorable range
and feed conditions, grass cattle mar
keted this fall are expected to be in
better flesh than those marketed last
fall, and the time Of their movement
Is likely to be somewhat later than
usual Present indications are that
market supplies of granted cattle
during the fall will be smaller than
those Of year earlier, but that sup
plies Of such cattle during late fall
and winter will be larger.
Prospects for an increased move
ment of stocker and feeder cattle point
to larger supplies of well-fnished cat
tie during the spring and summer of
1888 than in the corresponding period
this year. Any business recovery dur
ing the remainder of the year is not
likely to be reflected in stronger de-
mand for beef and veal until the first
part of 1888, because of the lag which
normally prevails between changes in
business conditions and changes in the
demand for meats.

Clipping Alfalfa

Spring-seeded alfalfa often makes
enough growth to warrant clipping in
the latter part of August. The clip
ping should be low enough to kill the
weeds and remove the stubble of the
nurse crop. The fall growth of the
alfalfa will come from the crowns and
not from the clipped stems, so little
damage is done. The hay crop the fol-
lowing year will be of higher quality
if the weeds and debris are removed in
the fall. Many growers, however, pre-
fer to pasture the fall growth rather
than clip 1t off. Clipping should not
be done late in the season, as winter
killing may follow.-Prairie Farmer.

to alter its Manchurian policy"
Various responsible leaders in ia
pan gave notice that their country
would continue its domination of
Manchukuo, and the world wonders
just what the League of Nations can
and will do about it. The Japanese
war Office issued statement declaring
that If the league acts in the spirit
of the Lytton report, Japan will have
no alternative but to withdraw from
the league and oppose its action with
the firmest determination. France
has shown decided sympathy with
Japan in the controversy and Great
Britain has been rather lukewarm in
her friendship for China. The Unit
ed States, though not in the league,
is a most important factor in the af-
fair, and Japan insists that Secretary
of State Stimson has again displayed
his animosity toward Japan and is
menace to the good relations, between
Japan and America. This is because
Mr.. Stimson In an address before the
Philadelphia Union League club said
President Hoover had formulated a
successful policy of nonrecognition for
territorial gains made by force of
arms, and added that the "open door,

Beans in Pig Ration

Where pigs were allowed OH
pounds Of cooked soybeans daily as
supplement and allowed all the other
feed they would eat readily twice
daily, they were ready for market "a
days earlier than the group fed raw
beans, and required 14S pounds less
feed for each 100 pounds gain. In
these experiments soybeans were sup
plemented with corn, ground alfalfa
and minerals. On account of the dan
ger of producing soft pork, the Illinois
station cautions swine feeders not to
feed beans to fattening pigs in guam
titles amounting to II per cent of the
ration. This objection would not ap-
ply to its use as protein supplement
for brood sows.

System Will Cut
Down Lamb Loss
Better Handling of Flocks
Advised.
By W. G. KAMMLADE Assistant Chief IN
Sheep Husbandry. College of Agriculture.

By W. @. KAMMLADE, Assistant Chief In
Sheep Husbandry. College of Agriculture.
University of nlinois.-WNU Service.
Many of the troubles with which
sheep owners have to deal during the
lambing season could be avoided by
following a good system of feeding
and management throughout the year.
Such conditions as paralysis Of
ewes, lack Of milk and weak lambs
are generally reported in focks
which have been fed largely on low
quality roughages and poor winter
pasture. Unfortunately, 1t is too late
to make drastic changes in the ra-
ton and try to overcome these trou-
bles after they develop. This is why
it is important to plan good system
of feeding and management for the
whole year.
The test of any eve or flock is
the number of pounds of desirable
market lambs and wool produced.
Ewes vary greatly in this respect. If
the owner is to have good flock, he
therefore must Gull 1t on the basis
Of individuality and production.
Some flocks have been developed to
such efficiency that they have pro-
duced 100 pounds of lamb, 1875 days
of age, for each eve in the flock. A
IT'S per cent lamb crop-117 lambs
from 81 ewes-was required to do
this. However, such efficiency cannot
be had without careful culling and
proper feeding and management
throughout the year.
