First to Be Elected.
(NeW York Times. )

woman now sits in the United States Senate by right of election, Mrs Caraway of Arkansas She stood at the polls in her State against two male opponents and in light vote, was easily the Win ner For a few weeks she a member of the Senate by appointment of the Governor-the second woman thus to But with the mandate of the peape of Arkansas behind her, Mrs. Caraway heads Ia new category and encourages women in the belief that many will join it in years to come.
 In a larger sense, however the election of Mrs. ICaraway has not yet demonstrated that woman lean enter the political lists on the same terms with men and survive the primaries and the election Ito take her seat in the Senate. In the House of Representatives this has happened frequently. But there sentimental considerations to aid Mrs. Caraway which moved the machinery of her elec- tion for the term which ends in March, 1883. If she should be candidate for eelection and should be successful the qualification could no longer be made For the chivalric impulse which prompted the Governor the Democratic State Committee and permit the female Caraway to serve out the term to which the male member of the family was elected could not be stretched so far That would be four square test, Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick's in Illinois Her husbands position Senator con- tributed to the of her first candidacy for Representative at Large from Illinois. When she ran for the Senate and the nomination she was appealing on her own personally and record Any male candidate would probably have been de- feated by James Hamilton Lewis in Illinois in 1930 yet Mrs. McCormcks failure postponed the electoral test of woman Senate aspirant in the broad sense. If Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen should file in Florida and win she could legitimately lay claim to having made political history for her sex.
 It is believed in Arkansas that though Mrs Caraway's succession put on basis of chivalry and family feudalism, she will prove herself as competent and useful most of the members of the Senate Everything that she has done indicates that this home opinion is accurate. Tn Jonesboro some one said Hattie is witty Thad was But she leaves the sharp things unsaid.

The Foreign Bogy.
(New York world-Telegram)


 Some one should debunk the idea that foreign debts and securities are chiefly responsible for Americas troubles. To hear Senator Hiram John son and isolationists talk one would think body ever lost anything domestic American n- vestments.
 Of course the American public at the moment lis looking for scapegoat. One day it is President Hoover The next day it is the international bank Iers. Then it is Mir Hoover and the international bankers, the charge being that they led astray into foreign investments
 As for the bankers, they certainly showed little judgment and less leadership in failing to halt the boom market Nevertheless the fault went much deeper It is the whole boom psychology. The public, which wanted to get rich quick, was bascay to blame.
 The investing public in the period 1927-29 was extremely bullish on everything Foreign securities were only small item in the total.
 When we rub the bumps on our heads from foreign losses, might remember also the losses at home-the vacant office buildings and idle fac tories reflected in appreciated real estate bonds and industrial stocks
 The point that the isolationsts miss is that for legn depression means American depression, and American depression means foreign depression. It will do good to Europe for faults we share and conditions for which we are jointly responsible
 American prosperity depends in part on foreign trade and foreign investments American peace depends on international cooperation

POLITICS
 AT RANDOM 
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The Presidential handicap con tinues to furnish one reminder af- ter another that it is money, after all, that makes the political mare go.
 And that sort of provender, ir case you havne't noticed it, is ex- ceedingly hard to Lay hands on al the present stage of the proceed ings.
 A good many men are talked of for the Presidency, but the list of actual entries is surprisingly scant Running for President nowadays isn't done on a shoestring.

Mr. Hoover. Now it appears noth- Ing of the sort will happen.
 The development is interesting when considered against this back round: When the Insurgent Sen- ators recently talked over the plans so block Hoover, one of the most influential strongly urged that none ,f them take any part in any pri- mary.
 That, he argued, would divest them of responsibility for the re- suits, and leave them free to go over to the Democrats or form a Third party, as they might decide.
 Hasty inferences are hazardous, but at least what Frazier does about this will be worth watching.

Senators Have Troubles

Although Senators, for some req son unexplained, nearly always are head over heels in Presidential pol itics, it should not be supposed they have no interests elsewhere. Thirty-two of them are up for reelection themselves this year, and the list contains some distinguished names.
 There are Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, whose state turned a swift flipflop toward the Democrats in the 1930 congress sional elections; Shoot of Utah, whose opponent may be Democrat ics Governor Dern, hitherto an effe- tive vote-getter; Davis of politically disturbed Pennsylvania; Moses of New Hampshire, which has just given a Republican house seat to the Democrats.
 So no one will expect all Sena- tors. however loyal they may be to spend their entire time this summer worrying who the next President will be.

OF Interest To Farmers
BY County Agent E. c. Durdle

To get down to proper treatment of
the bed then, at this time, it would
seem well to apply at the time that a
part of the row is turned down or i'm
mediately after, when the field is wa
tered again, 200 pounds of ammonium
sulphate per acre and if the field is
an old one and no commercial fertil-
izer has been used on 1t we would rec
ommend, on at least a strip which
should be carefully marked, an appli-
cation of superphosphate at the rate
of 500 pounds per acre. This latter ap-
plication could be put on one-fifth of
an acre using 100 pounds and this
strip watched the succeeding year to
determine whether you are getting
benefits from this particular fertilizer.
AS far as possible, superphosphate
should be ploWed down SO as to get as
much penetration as possible.
Toward the latter part of August or
very early in September, it would be
we'll to apply another 200 pounds of
ammonium sulphate in order to aid
in setting boom for next years crop.
We believe if this is done it would not
be necessary to apply the nitrogen in
the spring and that results from appli-
cation of nitrogen would not show up
as we'll as they did for Mr.. Carmichael.
This, however, is merely an opinion
and it might be we'll for growers to
check this point by applications to a
small area.
We do not believe it necessary to
apply other fertilizers than the above
two. On one field this spring we APP
piled fertilizers at the rate of 500 lbs.
superphosphate and 200 pounds of
potash, singly and in combination.
There were no outstanding differences
in these plots. Because of this then,
we would recommend that farmers give
careful attention to the general infor-
nation which we have been trying to
give for two years now, that fertilizers
be purchased where they can be pur-
chased most economically. In talking
the matter over for instance, with Mr..
Carmichael, we pointed out that as
far as the nitrogen and PHOSPHORUS
was concerned, that he could make an
application with these two at a cost
of $64O, whereas complete CONNER
cial fertilizer supplying in addition to
the nitrogen and phosphate seventy
pounds of potash which we believe is
not justified, particularly at this time,
would have cost him $147O. Here is
q saving of more than half and cer-
tainly farmers at this time can afford
to take a little time to study fertil-
izers, particularly when savings such
as these can be made.

ornamental Planting
Of Home Grounds
BY County Agent E. C. Durdle

The first fundamentals in the design
of the home grounds is the proper di-
vision of the area. This should include
the public area, the private area, and
the garden or outdoor living room
area.
The public area is that area in front
and often partially along the side of
the house In other words, it is the
area which the public will always have
view Of.
The planting of the public area
should include trees so located that
they will throw shade onto the house
or onto the lawn where it is desired
without being planted directly in front
of the house. AS far as possible, it is
we'll to have these trees planted along
the rear line of the puplic area which
would be the line which would divide
the public area from the service or
garden area for the back. Tt may be
we'll to have one specimen tree planted
on the lawn. This tree should be sell
ected with considerable care and should
be something which will not grow too
large for the space to be filled. Cut
leaf weeping white Birch make splen-
did specimen trees in this section.
Shrubs should be used in filling around
the house, the corners of walks and
to screen the areas back of the house.
The service area is the area which
is used for the hanging of clothes,
deliveryof groceries and of fuel and a
play area for the children. This should
be at the rear of the house, screened
in fairly we'll from both the public
and garden area. 1t is difficult to keep
this area in condition SO that we are
glad to have friends visit it and hence
the reason for screening it in rather
thoroughly.
A few shrubs and perennials and
ANIMALS may be used for this area
but the better types of plants had bet
ter be used in the garden or public
areas
The garden area is not an area de-
voted, as the name might Indicate, to
the vegetable garden, but is the area
devoted to a special flower garden set

SUMMER TREATMENT OF
STRAWBERRY FIELD

The question of what treatment to
give the strawberry field during the
summer months which will bring the
best return for the coming season Is
one which is in the minds Of at least
many strawberry growers at this time.
In the first place let us say that it
is doubly important that soil should
be put into first class physical condi-
ton before strawberry planting. For
those who are contemplating planting
new acreage next spring, especial at
tention should be given to working just
as much organic material into that
soil as possible between now and next
spring. This may be done through the
use OF manures or green cover crops
planted this summer and turned under
in the fall and another crop planted in
the fall to be turned under next spring
before planting. If the soil is in good
physical condition then the use of
commercial fertilizers will bring better
returns than if the soil has been al
lowed to run down.
Mr.. O. T. McWhorter, horticulturist
for the state of Oregon, writing re-
Gently in Better Fruit" pointed out
that under their conditions in the Will
lamette valley that they had not been
able to get any definite information
as to benefits of commercial fertilizers
during the life of the patch showing
satisfactory or unsatisfactory prepara-
ton of the sol. Growers here however
find that the use of proper fertilizers.
even where the soil has been we'll pre-
pared, gives returns. Mr.. Carmichael
Of Richland recently reported to us
that his field of strawberries planted
on ground which had grown sweet clo-
yer during the summer and wheat dur
ing the fall preceding, planted to straw
berries and then had been given top
dressing OF manure during the summer,
that the plants growing still showed
marked improvement from the use
OF ammonium sulphate applied about
mid-spring. He stated that where the
outside ditch was not fertilized because
of possibility of stepping up fertility
of cherry trees to too high a point,
this half of the row produced less ber-
ries, had considerable less foliage and
the season of harvest was much short
er. Results on plots where we have
carried out the fertilizer demonstra-
lions have indicated that the use of
commercial fertilizer on we'll prepared
soil does give returns and we think
the proper use of fertilizers should be
economical.

ITINERANT PRODUCE PEDDLERs

In his address at the state Grange meeting in
Tacoma this month, A. d. Goss, State Master paid
his respects to the tinerant fruit peddler in the
following words:
The itinerant farm produce peddler is rapidly
becoming one OF the greatest evils with which
farmers have to contend They go to the morgan
lied farmer and pay cash for his produce. Ere
quentlv they get of-grade stuff which cannot be
marketed through the regular channels of trade.
When they reach the market, the average mer-
chant knows that he is dealing with an irrespon-
sible peddler and will buy the produce only at a
cut price IF the markets are we'll supplied or gut-
ted, the peddler having no place to sell his pro-
duce, slashes the price to any figure necessary to
unload The result is that he is rapidly becoming
the greatest demoralizer Of farm prices with which
agriculture has to contend The itineran price cut
ting peddler is making it all the more necessary
that farm producers organize to get their crops
to market in an order Y manner. IF trucking from
farm to market proves the most efficient way they
should do this trucking themselves, or arrange
with responsible firm to perform this service,
ALWAYS taking that the commodities sup
piled are up to grade and that their organization
will stand squarely behind their commodities thus
protecting the purchaser. They must provide ia
cilities for taking care of any surplus when the
market is glutted.
The adjustment of our marketing practices to
the growing volume of truck marketing is a sub
ject we should study carefully.

up. In other words, the term outdoor
living room may be more descriptive
Of what we want in the area. 1t is
the area which is screened almost COM
pletely from the public and into which
our friends may see only when they
are taken there as guests OF the home.
1t is also the area where the house
wife may take callers in the afternoon
to sit on the lawn in the shade of
trees and visit or do mending or other
necessary work which can be readily
taken there. The garden area should
have, first, some central point OF in
terest such as bird bath, sun dial, or
pool and rockery This is the point to
which the attention is drawn as one
surveys the area and should be at the
far end of the garden as viewed from
the dining room or living room VIM
dow which looks out into the garden
area. This area should be developed SO
as to be framed with shrubbery Or
perennials and ANIMALS with trees
planted so as to provide shade at the
right points. Care should be taken how
ever, that the trees do not shade the
pool except in early morning or late
evening. Borders should be of varied
width and the tall growing shrubs or
perennials or ANIMALS used at the out
side, grading down to the low growing
ANIMALS and perennials along the edge.
Shrubs and ANIMALS and perennials
should be used in clumps and the de-
velopment of the border and the groups
set in so as to blend we'll as far as
color and bloom, and time of bloom
ing and height are concerned.
1t is not too late yet to give con-
siderable attention to the development
of areas to be planted OF transplanted
The application of some of these prin-
ciples this year will give one an idea
of greater possibilities another season
and as one goes on from season to
season they should develop each year
a better design. If one adheres closely
to the principle given above we do
not think it will be necessary to spend
much time in transplanting shrubs and
perennials which have been misplanted.
This kind of work enables one to eX-
press his own Individuality in the
working out of the design and to those
who enjoy it it will become thing
of a great deal of pleasure.
