 To Replace Rails,
 Bring Them To Grade
Ciys Part to Bring Outlay of Several Thousand Dol. Iars-Work Will Consume Three of Four Weeks Time-MotOrists Welcome Coming Improvement

Work of paving West Main street from St Johns church to Exchange place on the south side Of the Green has been started. Op- erations we're underway today by the Connecticut company to re- place the trolley rails between the two points and to bring them to the grade established under the paving plans now before Superin- tendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming.
 It is expected that the relaying of the tracks and the subsequent paving work will occupy about three or four weeks time. This work was authorized some time ago by the works board. The cost will be defrayed cut of the paving item set up in the current years budget.

New York, Aug 24.-(UP)-- Alfred E. Smith went to work to. day on his new job as editor of the magazine, Outlook, figuring he might have to work nights" be- cause he has been "so busy in the daytime"
 Announcement of his appoint ment was made when newspaper men were summoned to the new offices of the monthly non-partisar magazine founded by. Protestant minister and once edited by Theo- dore Roosevelt.
 "I feel" Smith said, "that I have another means of discussing the Complicated and pressing problems of the present time. I am not bringing politics into the maga- zine" he declared as he onnounced in answer to question that he would not attend the. democratic rally for Franklin Roosevelt Sat- urday at Sea Girt, N. J.
 we are going to talk about everybody and everything and tell what we like and don't like" he went on. Editors usually discuss presidential candidates. so there was theory that he might reserve his comment on Franklin R. Roose- welt for his own magazine.
 The 1928 presidential candidate said he enjoyed writing the weekly column which was syndicated for many months.
 "Years ago." he said, "I had to get over my ideas by word Of mouth. Now all have to do IS talk to a etenographer, she types it. revise it, and 1t gets the effect. Of course" he grinned, I still like the rad-dio."
 He was asked to name his fav- orite authors.
 q don't read books. and every body knows that. I've been a lis. tener ali my life, and I don't intend to change now that I'm editor of this magazine.

OLD BOND HOUSE
 MAY BE FORCED FROM BUSINESS
s. w. Straus & Co Have Sold Billion in Secnri- ties in Last SO Years Clients Are Making Complaint

New York, Aug 24-(U. P.) - s. w. Straus and Company, bond house which has sold a billion in securities in 50 years, has been or- dered to show cause Thursday why it should not be enjoined from sell ing securities except under restrict ed conditions and why 1t should not be placed in receivership.
 The order was issued after sev- eral months inquiry by the state attorney generals office which re- ported thousands of complaints charged buyers of real estate bonds had been defrauded.
 Deputy Attorney General Laza- rus Joseph, who signed the affida- wit against the bond house, esti- mated that in the last 50 years the public has bought more than $1,- 000,000,00O worth of Straus bonds and that at present $300,000,000 of these were in default.
 The company and it's affiliates have been identified with building construction estimated at $21,00Q,- O0O,000. The firm is said to have 100000 customers. It advertised to a single investor"
 Deputy Attorney General Joseph listed a complaint against the Straus financial practices in a 20- page brief submitted to Justice John H. McCoeey who issued the order. Among these complaints were:
 l. That the company represent ed itself as a first mortgage house, but since 1924 has been engaged in selling bonds secured by general mortgages, which in reality were second and third mortgages and in many cases mortgages on lease- holds.
 2. That the company sold bonds secured by properties on which tax es and interest had not been paid and on which there had been no amortization of principal.

 At the present time the thorough fare Is in very poor condition. In most places the road consists of wood blocks covered by asphalt. Many bad holes exist.
 The Connecticut company will lay new rails and ties and cement in the rails. The trolley concerns cost will also be considerable. AS soon as this is done the city will follow up with its paving work. Traffic will be hampered somewhat but the police department is talk ing the necessary steps to prevent any tie-ups.

CULLING POULTRY FLoCKs

With quite few poultry flocks
with old hens which have been
carried over from the past season
it will be important that poultry
men with such a flock Gull the
flocks carefully this summer. Re-
member the early moulter, unless
they have been forced to moult, is
the bird which should be culled.
The past years record of the hen
may be determined fairly accurate
" by the person who has careful
" studied the indications of per-
Torrance which bird has in her
makeup. Remember the eyes, the
shape of the head, curve of the
beak, color of the beak, shanks and
skin, with the story that the moult
of the flight feathers indicate give
one much information as to the
layers and loafers in the poultry
flock.
Bulletin material has been pre-
pared on culling of the laying
flock and this will be gladly sent
to anyone interested in this sub
ject, or the county agent will be
glad to visit poultrymen and give
him specific information and as
sistance in how to pick the birds
carefully so as to determine just
which birds had better be culled.
IF dairy cows could be culled as
surely by physical characteristics
as we can the poultry flock much
money would be saved in this
country each year. Why not give
this matter careful attention and
put that poultry flock onto as good
paying basis as possible.

MEET POULTRY NEEDS
FOR SUMMER MONTHS

Summer care of poultry has its
own problems, some of which are
often neglected, says w. D. Buch-
anan, State College extension poul-
tryman. Many poultrymen feel
that with the coming of warm
nights and sunny days, the flock
needs little attention outside of
feeding. Despite the press of other
activities which face many poultry
Iraisers during summer months,
adequate time should be given to
making the birds comfortable and
maintaining high production.
Summer has its advantages for
raising chickens. Warm sunshine
provides vitamin D and kills many
germs harmful to poultry by dry
ing the surface of the earth. Open
poultry houses provide an abund-
ance of fresh air and the litter is
easily kept dry. Green feed is cas-
lily obtained and chickens eat less
grain and mash than they do in
the winter. 1t takes less work,
costs less and the work is more
pleasant.
Yet summer has its dangers.
The red roost mites thrive and the
|poultrymen must constantly spray
the roosts with crank case oil or
other reliable mite eradicators.
Mites must be kept down if the
chickens are to thrive. Shades
must be provided from the hot
rays of the sun but dangers also
Turk in the shade. Parasites and
disease germs, protected from the
sun, multiply rapidly. Many poul-
trymen construct wire covered
platforms for the shady places to
protect the chicks from contact
with contamination.
Flies are plentiful in the sum-
mertime. Flies eat and incubate
tape worm eggs. AS the chickens
eat flies, tape worm infestation
easily follows. The wise poultry
men will do his best to keep down
flies.
AS most poultry houses are con-
|structed to keep chickens warm in
winter, hot roosting quarters are
often a summer menace. Chickens
do not stay healthy in foul roost-
ing quarters. If good cross venti-
lation cannot be secured, the
houses should be arranged to pro-
vide maximum of fresh air.
There is some danger of chick
ems getting to fat in summer, says
Mr.. Buchanan in conclusion. They
need less feed than in winter. If
the poultryman feeds as much
grain his chickens will eat less
mash. The result is more. fat and
fewer eggs, consequently less pro-
fit

There are instances however
where the fertilizer plot has not
given results, this being undoubt-
eddy due largely to improper use
Of fertilizer materials. During the
later part Of July or early August
we hope to be able to hold discus
sions in the various communities
at which time visits will be made
to some of the fertilizer plots and
farmers will be able to see for
themselves results of the fertilizer
or lack of results in some in
stances. We would like to urge
that farmers give careful thought
to the fertilizer problem and re-
member that in the end the use Of
leguminous cover crops and of
farm manures are going long
ways toward the maintenance of
not only soil fertility but the ply
steal condition of the soil which is
often just as important.

SOIL FERTILITY PROBLEMS

The problem of soil fertility for
any section of the state is coming
to be looked upon as much more of
a complex problem than was con-
sidered a few years afo. Much is
being done each year, however, in
the way of demonstration plots
and experimental work and con-
siderable information is being ac-
cumulated which is enabling farm
ers to get more and more funda-
mental information from year to
year. Probably one Of the best
steps that has been taken recently
was the fertilizer council meeting
which wah held in Seattle last win
ter and which undoubtedly will be
held again at some point in the
state this fall when the results of
fertilizer work for this season has
become available.
Some new work has been started
in the county this year on straw
berries, apples, onions, potatoes.
and other crops. We have learn
ed at least one thing from these
demonstration plots and that is
that we must carefully consider
crop responses to certain fertil-
izersas we'll as soil needs. Because
one crop shows definite response
to a fertility does not mean that
all crops may show this same re-
Spouse. Information of this kind
will become more and more avail
able as time goes on and we hope
that as result of the demonstra-
ton plots at various places in the
country the results of experiment
al work being done at the Irriga-
ton Branch station at Prosser I'M
der the direction of III. P. Single
ton, superintendent, will help to
answer more clearly for us for an
other season many of the problems
that we have.
We are past the harvest of
our leading crops and we may look
back on the immediate past and
see that some fields which have
been well fertilized have returned
well above the cost of the fertilized
in net returns over fields that
have not been well fortified.
