quite on a strict military basis. The mat
ter of equipping the men OF the Civil
ian Conservation Corps with the aAes,
picks, shovels, saws, toilet kits and
other implements of their new work
was scarcely any less arduous than the
arming Of the men with rifles and bAyo-
nets in the 1917 emergency
The country is divided into nine Army
Crops AREAS, each corps area having It's
own set of officers and its own plan OF
action. The original plan was for the
Department Of Labor actually to recruit
the men, turn them over to the Army
for mobilization and distribution and
then for the Army, in turn, to turn the
various companies over to the Forest
Service at the camps. From then on
the Forest Service would be responsible
and continue in charge Of the camp
operations.
There is a curious story concerning
how this plan went awry. Early in the
game there was a White House confer
ence which is historic in this connec-
ton. 1t was broached that the Army
should continue to maintain a certain
supervision. The officers Of the Gen
eral Staff at the conference outlined the
reasons why the Army should not be
expected to take on. in addition to its
regular duties, the task Of running the
conservation camps. The answer Of the
White House was that the officers ha6,
in stating reasons why they should not
be called upon to undertake the work,
actually given reasons why they should.
The White House was not aware the
task was so pretentious. The enumera-
ton Of the responsibilities showed
clearly that the Army was the only
branch which clearly understood the
job and therefore the Army should
carry on.
Hebilisation Problems.
The General Staff figured out that 10
meet the Presidents assurance OF what
would be accomplished by July 1t
would be necessary to recruit, process
and equip men at the rate OF 8,540 q
day This was above the average for
both Army and Navy during the World
War, and yet the job had to be done to
keep the Presidents promise to the
country.
A great variety Of other problems
arose as part Of this mobilization task
and all were met and solved in this
brief three months period. For ex-
ample, there was the matter Of uni
forms. The number Of workers at the
Philadelphia quartermaster depot fac
tory was increased overnight from S54
to 1000 The work consisted Of alter
ing uniforms to suit the forest work.
Some idea of the task accomplished can
be cleaned from the statement that
alterations were made on 100000 wool
coats. 225,000 overcoats and 200 900
trousers One hundred thousand bar
rack bags were made new. Outside con-
tracts covered $500 900 yards Of denim.
900 900 jumpers, $4,000 overalls. 700.-
900 denim trousers, SIS 900 wool trous-
ers, 1.15O,00O Summer undershirts. 500

5000 bath towels and 635,o00 face
towels. 300 motor ambulances, 800 pas
senger cars. 5000 motor trucks and a
great variety of other things IN the

Many trade organizations IN the past
have lived In mortal fear Of prosecu-
tion by the Government under the
antitrust laws and individual manu-
facturers and merchants have not real
lied the advantages to be gained from
economic cooperation. Others. nota-
bly, those concerned with paint. lunl-
ber, retail dry goods. hardware, auto
mobiles, banking and soap, have at
tanned position of highest usefulness
to their members.
A good deal of the trouble. it is be-
lieved, has arisen from lobbying activ-
tiles and q neglect OF statistical re-
search. There has been too much
emphasis placed on conventions,
speech making and so-called fraternal
activities, and far too little on man
agement and trade practices. In its
current report on trade practice con-
ferences," the Federal Trade Commis-
sion declares it has found that such
conferences almost always result in q
generally recognized and clearly
marked trend toward the use Of higher
standards of business conduct and
bring into closer relationship both in
dustry and the Government
associations such an opportunity as they
have never had to aid American busi-
ness. In an address this week before
the Institute Of Pacific Relations, at
Banff, Canada, G. Judkins Of the Bu-
reau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce pointed out that similar meth
ods of industrial and commercial con-
troll have been in use in the Old World
for centuries. In their more modern
form, in Europe-where they are
known as cartels-they not only smooth
the way for harmony in the domestic
field. but also have an increasingly sig
nificant international role and influence.
Up to the present time the develop
ment of trade associations in the
United States has been exclusively in
domestic terms. Under the N. R. A.,
Mr.. Judkins believes, there is every
prospect Of an extension of trade as
sociation activity which will seriously
affect the commercial relations Of the
United states with foreign people4

Trade Associations to
Have Their Big Chance
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

If trade associations in the United
States can rise to the opportunity for
service to business now offered them by
the N. r. A., it IS believed by observers
of the national scene In washington
that they will be able to make q con-
tr1bution to our economic life greater
than that made by any commercial or
industrial organization since the days
of the medieval trade guilds.
To do so, however. they must play
the game according to the new rules,
they must cease being mere public
relations" sood-fellowship, convention
holding agencies for their own particu..
lar interests, and must choose men OF
initiative and courage as their execu-
tives.
1t Is claimed here that at present not
more than a quarter of the more than
1000 largest trade associations have
the full facilities needed by the N. r. A.
program.

Oil From Soybean Seed
Valuable Part of Crop

Brought here from the Orient, the
soybean has proved valuable ad-
dition to American crop plants.
However, the problem of develop
ing it to its full possibilities Is
complicated and will take long and
patient study.
The oil that is pressed from the
seed Is one Of the most valuable
products of the soybean crop and
naturally has received part of the
major attention of investigators.
Studies have established that in
breeding for quantity and quality
of oil In the soybean, the best pro-
cedure seems to be to analyze
adapted varieties and then isolate
the best line from the best variety.
After the best line has been isolat-
ed, further selection is ineffective.
Differences in oil content are be-
lieved to be inherited, but attempts
to obtain types with increased oil
content by crossing lines from the
same variety were unsuccessful.

Essences Among First
Communists in History

III AAAOSSAI y
The Essences were a Jewish Broth
erhoOd, originating probably in the
Maccabean period, Second century B.
c., and disappearing after the Sec
ond century A. d. They were sort
of religious separatists. No record
of them is found in the Bible or in
rabbinical literature, but they are
spoken of by Pliny, Josephus and
Philo. They were exponents of cere-
monial purity, asceticism, hyper-Sab-
batarianism and believers in COM
munity goods and interests. En-
trance into the order was difficult,
probation being required one year for
admittance and two more years for
membership. The principal occupa-
tions were agriculture and handlcraft.
Trading was prohibited to members
as tending to covetousness. The Es-
senes are said to have been the first
to condemn slavery as violating the
brotherhood of man.

Best Handling of Manure

If manure is left in the stall or
feed yards where it will be kept
moist and thoroughly tramped, so
as to exclude air, there is no better
method of storing. Some of the
LIQUID manure may be lost when
earth floors are used and it may be
economical to provide concrete
floors to prevent this loss. This
method of handling manure is ad
visable mainly where well-bedded
stalls are provided for horses, and
in cattle sheds or mule barns where
the animals run loose and the
tramping is very thorough.
1t is best to have a system of
cropping so that a place to scatter
manure will be available during
most Of the year. This will avoid
the necessity for storing any great
amount of it about the farm. Thus,
in a rotation of corn, oats, wheat
and clover, the manure would usu-
ally be applied to the clover sod
and plowed under for corn.-Mis
souri, Farmer.

THE GREEDY COUSINS

Nov that Jack Frost had opened
the chestnut burrs and the
hickory husks the Merry Little
Breezes saw a chance to help some
of their friends. Ever since they
had been unable TO get anyone TO
play with them they had wished
that they might find some work TO
do. Everyone else. at least nearly
everyone else, was so very busy
making ready for winter that the
Merry Little BreeZes were beginning
TO feel just a wee bit ashamed TO he
doing nothing but play all day long.
II was the sight of those open burrs
and husks that gave one of them an
idea.
Il tell you what. we can help
Chatterer the Red Squirrel and
Happy Jack and Striped Chlpmunk.
and II viii be great fun I" cried the
Merry Little Breezes.
"How?" asked all the others,
crowding around eagerly.
Look up In the top of that tail
chestnut tree. and tell me what you
see." cried the Merry Little Breeze
who had first spoken.
All the other Merry Little Breezes
looked up In the top Of the tall
chestnut tree and for a few minutes
no one said a word. AT last one
of them spoke:
81 don't see anything that | haven't
seen every day lately. except that
Jack Frost has pinched open the
burrs so that we can see the brown
nuts. He must have done that last
night"
That's just it," cried the first
Merry Little Breeze. Yesterday
those burrs were closed. but today
! they are open and that gives us a
chance to help the squirrel cousins.
Don't you see now?"
But the other Merry Little Breezes
didn't see. and they said so. watch

Breeze. and raced over to the tall

wide-open burrs and out fell the

brown NUTS fall. Happy Jack scam
pered after them. You see. he was
afraid that II he left them lying
there his cousin Chatterer. or his

them. So Happy Jack scurried
about for those brown nuts the
Merry Little Breezes had shaken
down. and when he found them he
hurried to hide them

agement program at the barn will
yield enough more crops to pay the

according to j. A. Slipher, specialist
In soils for the agricultural exten-
sion service at the Ohio State uni
versity.
Ohio farmers, he says, are keenly
interested In building the soil at
little or no cost In cash outlay.
There is no place or no device by
which they can do this better than
by thoughtful management of the
farms supply of manure.
Much manure can be saved In lot
feeding by using a lot of the small
est possible size. In this way 1t is
possible to eliminate hundreds of
tons of rain water which otherwise
would find its way through the thin
blanket of manure and remove its
soluble load of valuable nutrients.
Most lots can be reduced to one
half or one-fourth. and oftentimes
one-6fth. their original size, with
gain for the value of manure. The
area, Slipher believes, should be
so small that the depth of manure
accumulated for the season will be
2 to 3 feet. This can be done by
allowing each head of cattle not
more than GO square feet of area.
BY shifting livestock to inside
quarters it is possible to preserve
the manure through the addition of
ordinary superphosphate, which is
the fertilizer commonly applied in
the field for crops. 1t can be ap.
piled In the stable at the rate of
three-fourths pound per day, or
pounds per week, for each 1,00O

Manure so treated is the best bal
