WIN TER FOODS,
BIRDS NEEDS

Winter feeding is one of the
most practical measures by which
ordinary Sportsmen can help re-
plenish the supply of upland
game birds. says Winter Feeding
of Wild Life on Northern Farms,
recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The author, Wallace B. Grange,
was formerly with the Bureau of
Biological Survey. These game
birds, it is pointed out, suffer
little from exposure to cold or
from natural enemies if they are
well fed and near good cover.
Says Grange:
''It is urgent that interested
persons provide adequate win
ter feeding in their commune
ties. So many adverse factors
are depicting game birds that
every effort to correct environ
mental deficiencies should be
made. Unless definite remedial
measures are inaugurated very
soon, in most sections of the
country the ever-increasing
army Of upland game-bird
hunters will be further re-
Stricted in their sport"

CORN HUSK|NC
VARIES IN COST

About one-half as much man
labor and about one-third as
much horse work are used in
husking an acre of corn by ma
chinery as by hand, but costs Of
the two methods are variable
depending largely upon farm
wage rates, and the combination
of cost items, according to the
United States Department OF
Agriculture.
An average of So hours Of
man labor was used in huSking
an acre Of corn by hand on the
farms studied, as compared with
2.7 hours per acre with the one
row picker, and 90 hours with
the two-row picker, tests showed.
The horse work was reduced
even more, but IL hours of trac-
tor and picker use were added
when the one-row picker was
used and 08 hour when the two
Tow picker was used.
To determine the most eco
nomical method, therefore, de-
preciation, interest and repairs
on the tractor and picker must
be balanced, says the bureau,
against the savings in man labor
and horse work,

CONSOLIDATING
So COUNTIES
Senator Johnson Introduces
Plan to Substitute Is
Local Jurisdictions
By JOHN E. TAYLOR

While Virginians are talking and
studying the consolidation Of
county governments, their neigh
bors in West Virginia have gone
them one better.
In West Virginia, a bill has been
introduced in the State legislature
which would eliminate the SIS
existing counties and substitute
IS local jurisdictions. The bill was
introduced by Senator johnson,
of Kanawha county.
Under the terms of the bill, a
new map of the State will have to
be drawn, because the is new
counties will have entirely differ
ent boundaries and new names.
Would Save $1,5OO,OOO
Senator johnson said his pro-
posal would save the taxpayers of
West Virginia more than $1,500,-
900 annually. Some Of the new
counties would be larger in area
than the State Of Rhode Island
and Delaware and would have
populations Of more than 100000.
Under the Senator's plan, Fay
cite, Raleigh, Summers and Nom
roe counties would become New
River county, with an area Of
2,098 square miles and a popula-
ton of 1859.
College county would absorb
Harrison, Marion, Preston, Monon-
gala and Taylor counties, with an
area of 1913 square miles and q
population of 242,025.
Randolph, Barbour, Pendleton
and Tucker counties would become
Mountain county. This would have
an area of 2,488 square miles and
a population Of 66,711.
Would Absorb Five t
Lincoln, Putnam, Mason, CabeH
and Wayne counties would become
New Cabell county. It would have
an area of 1907 square miles and
a population of 1858.
A small county" would be
formed from Marshall, Ohio,
Brooke and Hancock counties. hav.
ing an area of 489 square miles,
with a population of 165,042. This
would be called Wheeling county.

President Roosevelt, some time
soon, will have the opportunity to
discover for himself how the young
idea is taught to shoot in these
days of the NRA.
General Johnson will turn over
to him shortly a selected group Of
essays on the NRA, written by
pupils 13 to 16 years old, in the
training school Of the Pennsylva-
mia State Teachers College at
Slippery Rock, Pa.
Miss Esther Wagenhorst wrote
an essay that the general liked
pretty well. She told how the
Blue Eagle means that work hours
are limited so that more people
can have jobs, and that wage
scales are fixed in the industries
affected.
Miss Mary Fergus wrote a piece
entitled General Johnson's Trou-
bles," which, while it may only
scratch the surface Of the gen.
erals worries, nevertheless calls
attention to some of them, notably
the blanket code.
Miss Mary Staff, who thinks
NRA has plenty of teeth, is against
violators of codes and for cooper
alton, rather than coercion, as in
dustrial policy.

SURVEY
DELAYED

Volunteers did not show up
at the Bureau of Labor Statistics
in sufficient numbers over the
Christmas holidays to enable the
cost of living survey to get to

were on hand yesterday.
The report makes comparisons
of living costs between 1928 and
1888, and on it President Roose-
velt will ,ase his action regard
ing the Federal pay cut. It will
affect the compensation of half
a million Government workers.
The survey covers 81 cities, in
Guiding Washington, and the in
dex figure chosen will be the

according to DR.. Isadore Lubin,
commissioner of labor statistics.
The report is expected to reach

Doctors Give CreOsOte
For Chest Colds

For many years our best doctors
have prescribed ccesote in some form
for coughs, colds and bronchitis,
knowing how dangerous it is to let
them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal ele-

coughs and colds that otherwise
might lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of colds and coughs, yet 1t
is absolutely harmless and is pleas

Pet Dogs of American Army Men Lie Buried
In Own Cemetery Near Arlington
Wooden Monuments,
Crosses Adorn
Canine Graves

Among the interesting places
about Washington, little known
and little visited, is few square
yards Of grassy ground in a
field near Arlington National
Cemetery.
Nearby are buried thousands
of the country'S heroes.
In the tiny grass plot just out
side of walls, however, are buried
about dozen dogs beloved by
several of those heroes.
It is WaShington's only pet
cemetery.
There are a few green mounds,
one or two pathetic crosses, and
several wooden monuments.
That is all.
But there are people both in
this city and many miles away
who revere that lonesome spot.
Here is a typical epitaph:
"Our Pal
Finnegan
Fort Myer, Va.
Died December 3, 1881"
Thus is preserved the memory
of the pet of a troop of soldiers
at the nearby Army post. Close
beside that epitaph there is an
other:
"CAPPY
1917-1931
A Fine and Loyal Friend
Major and Mrs. Herman K0bbe"
The pet cemetery was insti-
tuted by the officers and men
at Fort MyEr. Since its found
ing, however, army personnel
stationed in the War Department
and in military establishments
here have buried their animal
friends in the spot,
The unusual graveyard may be
