'FIRE DESTROYS
FAIRFAX PAPER

Fire Of unknown origin de-
stroyed the plant Of the Fairfax
County Independent, a weekly
newspaper at Fairfax, Va, yester-
day, causing damage estimated at
$4,000. Earl Muterspaugh was
editor of the paper.
The blaze was discovered by
Mrs. Ruther Blinkhorn, who noti-
fled the Fairfax Volunteer Fire
Department.
The building, formerly the Fair
fax public school. is owned by the
Kavaliers Of Virginia, a former
council of the Ku Klux Klan, and
the second floor was used as their
council room. The flames wrecked
the machinery and type and the
stairway leading to the second
floor.

RA|NEY DENIES
PART|SANSHIP
IN TAXF|GHT

Ten nationally known political
leaders who issued an appeal to
Congress to drop partisanship in
an effort to balance the budget
today were charged by Repre-
sentative Rainey of Illinois, Dem
ocratic leader of the House, with
creating discomfort.
Rainey emphatically denied
that partisanShip has figured in
the fight over the billion dollar
budget balancing tax bill. He
wrote the leaders:
PROTESTS IN LETTERS
81 have never heard of any
partiSanShip in considering the
budget balancing bill. AS a
matter of fact, / have received
letters from all over the cOun-
try addressed to me as Leader
of the House Of Representa-
tiveS protesting most vigorously
against the policy of acting
with the Administration and
the Republican party in the
matter of balancing the budget,
but Notwithstanding these pro-
tests, we have continued the
policy Of keeping partiSanShip
entirely out of it.
"YOur communication has
been given wide publicity, and
in view of the unrest in the
country today it is doing a
great deal of harm, in my
judgment.
FIRES OF Discomfort
81 am beginning to hear
from it. 1t only has served to
fan the fires of discomfort
which are starting in almost
every section of the country"
Rainey's letter was addressed
to DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
of New York, who signed the
appeal to Congress along with
others.

Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam,

Describing the last confusing

Mrs. Putnam revealed she had to

Mrs. Putnam arrived at the
luncheon attired in another of

Ambassador Melons daughter,
MRS. David K. E. Bruce. She
laughed:
"See, it fits me as though
1t had been made for me-"

Dirty Litter a Menace
to Health of Flock

Many people are of the opinion
that the working chicken is a
healthy and happy chicken. Prob
ably 1t Is. But he may work too
hard for what he gets and he may
pick up disease along with his feet.
The easiest way to make chicks
work Is TO throw fine cracked grain
into the litter. If the litter is dry
and clean. 1t Is undoubtedly good
plan, but the trouble is that the
litter Is seldom clean.
Nowadays dirty litter is real
menace If the chicks eat much Of it..
before coccidiosis and other intes-
tinal parasites became so common
dirty litter was not thought to be
dangerous. But coccidiosis is here
to stay and poultrymen must learn
10 live with, or fight it. Methods
must be found that will keep the
chicks from eating filth. If the
grain is thrown into dirty litter.
some of the filth is almost sure to
be picked up with the feed.

While it Is an important part of the
ration when high-quality eggs are
being produced for market. the
amount fed should be limited either
by keeping the flock confined dur
ing the morning or regulating the
amount of green feed fed.
Minerals not only provide neces-
sary elements for body and egg pro
duction needs. but they enable the
bird to make more efficient use of
the other feeds eaten.
The protein in eggs comes largely
from animal products such as meat
or milk. Thus, such feeds are nee

Stewards Disease New
Threat to Sweet Corn

AS IL the corn ear worm were not
bad enough in itself, a new prob
lem 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 dis
ease Is discovered there is nothing
which can be done about 1t 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
a yellOwing of the leaves, which
shortly after is followed by willing
and ultimate death of the entire
plant. The disease can be carried
from plant to plant by birds and
insects and the bacterium may also
live over in the ground on which
the infected corn has been grown.
The only known solution of the
problem Is to grow types OF corn
not subject to the disease.

Modern Contract

Redoubling

AIHEN an opponent has doubled
w your bid or your partners, it
is never advisable to change the
declaration unless a really advan-
tageous switch can be made. If your
partner Is a sound bidder, do not
worry about flying to his rescue.
More than likely he has no desire
to be rescued. He might even be
prepared to redouble, in which case
he would most bitterly resent your
needless attempt to save" him.
Many players are entirely un-
aware Of the highly advantageous
odds in favor of redouble at con-
tract. These favorable odds are
produced by the huge increase of
trick values in a successful doubled
and redoubled contract.
The following table Is computed
on the assumption that the declarer
will never fail to make his contract
by more than one trick. This as
sumption may be considered arbi-
trary, but between partners who
thoroughly understand each others
bidding only an abnormal distribu-
ton should result in the loss of
more than one trick when one or

Proper Ration

If you are to get eggs in suhi-
clent numbers to be profitable, the
layers must have animal proteins In
their feed. such as are supplied in
a good laying mash. 1t cannot be
done with grain alone. They will
lay for a little while on grain but
they are using up their body re-
serves to do it, and when this body
reserve is gone, the laying period is
finished. If their bodies were well
nOurished with a we'll balanced ra-
tion. they will last longer in lay
than a flock that was poorly fed.
But this body reserve will have to
be built up again before these birds
will lay again.

System Will Cut
Down Lamb Loss
Better Handling of Flocks
Advised.

BY w. G. KAMMLADE, Assistant
Chief in Sheep Husbandry, College
OF Agriculture. University of Illi-
nois.-WNU Service.
Many Of the troubles with which
sheep owners have to deal during
the lambing season could be avoid
ed by following a good system of
feeding and management through
out 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, it Is too
late to make drastic changes in the
ration and try to overcome these
troubles after they develop. This
is why 1t is important to plan a
good system of feeding and manage
ment 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 a good flock.
he therefore must Gull it on the
basis of individuality and produc-
ton. Some flocks have been devel-
oped to such efficiency that they
have produced 100 pounds of lamb,
135 days of age, for each eve in the
flock. a 175 per cent lamb crop
1T lambs from 81 ewes-was re-
quired to do this. However. such
efficiency cannot be had without
careful culling and proper feeding
and management throughout the
year.

Agricultural Notes

New Jersey is expected to have
100000 bushels of tomatoes this
year.
A small amount of unslaked lime
will keep green scum out of the wa
ter tanks.
Place the best ewes with the best
ram, If you have more than one. 1t
will pay to do so.
Alfalfa needs at least six inches
of growth before winter. Take the
first cutting next season earlier
than usual, then the last cutting
will be early enough for a good
growth before winter.
Peonies grow best in a deep rich
rather moist soil. Light sandy soil
is not cOngenial to them, and a dry
location, or one where tree roots
absorb the fertility, always results
in deficiency of bloom.
Where corn ground which is to b.
seeded next spring TO small gram
and clover or alfalfa is cleared off
in making silage, or If the corn IS
harvested in time so that the lime
can be spread, the fall Is a good
time to put 1t on.
