M'ELMORE FINDS
PLENTY OF NUTS
AT CONVENTION
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 90. UP)-There
are all sorts OF nuts in this world,
including those filberts who go in
for collecting snuff boxes, broken
down bedsteads and cross eyed
Buddhas, but out here at the Dem
Ocratic convention we have en-
countered what we feel safe in
classifying as the choicest nut of
them all.
We mean those persons who go
in for handshake collecting. Or
handclasp collecting as they chose
to term it. There must be 10000
of the collectors here. It's really
a very simple hobby. All you do is
lurk in the corridors, loiter on
curbstones, spin in and out of re-
volving doors or park in hotel lob
bies until a parsonage whose hand
shake is not in your collection ap-
pears. Then, the moment your
quarry hoves in sight, you sorta
ease up gentle-l!ke, stick out your
hand, and get a shake.
A political convention is the
novice collectors delight. For the
politicians, knowing that every
handshake is a potential vote, are
only too glad to mitt one and all.
But your handshake collector, the
connoisseur of the business, so to
speak, scorns political conventions.
Too easy, for one thing. Besides,
most of the political handShakes
become worthless after the next
election. and have to be washed off
to make room for new and better
ones.
There is one true collector here,
however; 75-year-old Kansan
named w. Buckley Muckle. Muckle
is reputed to own the finest COL
lection in the world. 1t is he who
owns the only authentic George
Washington in existence. To pro-
tect his treasure, he wears a thick

Losses Certain When
Manure Is Kept Piled

One way Of conserving manure is
to haul as much of 1t as possible di-
rect from the barn to the fields dur
ing the winter, says Wallaces'
Farmer. Whenever manure is al
lowed to lie piled up in the barn
yard for a considerable length of
time, there is a heavy loss of nitro
gen through fermentation, as well
as a loss of phosphorus and potash
through teaching. Furthermore, 1t
also results in a considerable loss
of organic matter. Whenever or
ganic matter, in the form of ma
nure or crop residues, is incorporat.
ed with the soil, it builds humus-
an exceedingly important factor in
soil fertility.
Land that is very hilly, of course,
is not well adapted TO being ma
nured long before the manure can
be mixed with the soil either by
plowing or disking, but land that is
level or rolling will absorb any
plant food that may leach out be-
fore the ground can be worked.

Harlequin Bug Danger

time may never see it again in such

colored and destructive insect, a
native of the South, overwintered
in large numbers farther north than
usual and has now spread rather
widely in Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, and southeastern Ohio.
This is the first time in a decade
or more, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
that a serious outbreak of the har-
lequin bug has occurred so far
north. Normal winter weather can
be depended on to drive it back to
