Test Shoes WooI Yield

a NEW and simple test has been devised for
sheep raisers whereby they are able to de-
terrnine with little effort the approximate yield
Of wool Of each sheep in their herds. This
permits them to eliminate the low producers
and concentrate on building up herds from
those of proven yield.
The test involves the clipping Of known
quantity Of wool from each sheep, usually q
swath one inch wide and four inches long.
This sample is weighed dry cleaned and
weighed again. The difference between the
two weights represents the loss through clean-
ing Of the wool commercially The remaindsr
indicates the yield and through simple cal-
c,ilation the yield of each sheep may be de-
eernined by weighing its wool after clipping

The original group was composed of peasants
and so quick a hold their religious beliefs take
upon the peasantry around them, their sect
grew apace until finally the Russian govern
ment adopted q policy Of persecution. This
continued until about 1900, when a change IN
the attitude Of the government was brought
about and the Dukhobors were treated with
kindness. Large sections OF fertile land I'M

we're removed to less favorable land, where they
found their life far more arduous but still they
clung to their faith.
In 1890, however. they reached q crisis
which they could not overcome when Pohde-
donostsef attempted to force all Russians into
the Greek Church. They requested permission
to emigrate, request which was granted, and
they then left their homeland part Of them
going to Cyprus and part to Manitoba, Canada.
The Canadian government has had its hands
full attempting to keep the Dukhobors in line,
for they have started out frequently ON aimless
marches in search of Christ, whom they believe
to be on earth once more. On several occa-
sions the government has been forced to round
them up and send them back to their homes

Neeo Compounded Fertilizer Of Great Value

the Haber fixaticn process from the air, is the
cheapest and most concentrated form of nitro
gen for fertilizer purposes. 1t could be shipped
in tank cars to plants for combination with the
peat moss and the cost could be held to q
minimum.
In soils common to this locality, the value of
peat moss is well known. Too heavy soils are
broken up by the organic matter in the peat
moss and light, sandy soils, which drain away
too rapidly, are aided in the retention Of mois
ture through the presence of the moss.
The moss, covered heavily over the surface
OF the ground surrounding flowers, aids greatly
in keeping weed growth down to minimum.
The fibrous nature Of the moss also would aid
in retaining the nitrogen, which might be
quickly washed away from the surface in the
event of rain before it would have chance
to work down into the soil
Tests conducted by the Department of Ag-
riculture indicate that the ammoniated peat
will have highly beneficial effect ON garden
ers and the product, If 1t reaches the state Of
commercial development, likely will be of great
value to the home gardener
Evening star., 1933-01-01

a NEW type Of fertilizer which, when made
commercially available. will be of especially
great value to the home gardener of this area,
has been developed by the Bureau of Chem
istry of the Department of Agriculture
1t embodies the highly valuable characters
tics OF peat moss and the nitrogenous content
CT ammonia The process Of introducing the
ammonia into the peat moss Is easily and &c
onomically carried out in the laboratory ex-
periments and therefore would be on a large
scale commercially
The process involves heating the peat moss
and the ammonia under pressure the resultant
product containing 20 per cent ammonia. OF
the ammonia content, one-third is water soluble
and the other two-thrds non-water soluble.
That means that when the fertilizer is applied
to the ground, about one-third of the nitrogen
content is made Immediately available in
sodium nitrate while the remainder would
break down slowly after the manner of the
nitrogen content of cottonseed meal, for ex-
ample
The 20 per cent ammoniated peat moss would
contain, per 100 pounds as much quick acting
nitrates as SO pounds Of sodium nitrate and,
at the same time, twice as much inactive as
the cottonseed meal In other words, 100
pounds of ammoniated peat moss would be
the equivalent Of so pounds of sodium nitrate,
plus 200 pounds of cottonseed meal. The saw
ing IN freight charges alone indicates the value
of the product.

WASHINGTON, June Is. up
A $4,000 100000 federal credit pool
designed to prevent mortgage fore

the terms of the new administra-
ton home mortgage relief act.
This vast sum will be admins

ury will subscribe $2OO,O0O,000 initial
funds for the new organization and,
in addition, the corporation will

to be forecloSed. In addition, it
will be empowered to make direct
loans to hard-pressed homeowners
for the purpose of payment of tax
es, assessments, and necessary i'm
proyements.
Activities of the corporation will
be confined to homes valued at
$4,000 or less. Bonds which it ex-
changes for privately held mort
cages cannot exceed $4,000 in total
face value of 80 per cent of the
value of the real estate as estimated

paid in settlement of claims for
construction of the San Gabriel
Canyon flood control dam, went
forward rapidly today.
Kemper Campbell, prominent at
torney, who has been serving on

connection with the dam settle
ment.
The county claims the huge sum
was fraudulently paid Macdonald
and Kahn in settlement of claims
arising when work was halted on
the San Gabriel dam because oil

NAVY To PUSH
SHIP BUILDING

WASHINGTON, June Is. tU.P-
A $238,000,000 naval building pro-
gram, involving construction of 80
new warships within the next three
years, was announced today by
Secretary of Navy Swanson.
The construction program. to be
carried out under public works pro-
visions of the new industrial re-
covery act, will be pushed with all
the vigor we have Swanson said.
The program involves construc-
ton of four light cruisers of 10000
tons with six inch guns, 20 des-
troyers, two aircraft carriers of
10000 tons each, four submarines Of
1900 and 1000 tons and two gun
boats for operation in Chinese
ports.
This program is to put people to
work, Swanson said, explaining
that IS per cent of the total ex-
pnediture on a warship automatic
ally goes to labor.
Under original plans the depart
ment expected Co spend S46,000,000
in the first year. sos 100000 in
the second year and the remainder
in the third year, but the secre-
tary said he hoped to increase these
totals substantially in order to
rush the program to early compile
ton.

it was practical and would work,
they were for it.
Hewes also said there was some
old equipment which was slow and
demanded expensive repairs. He
suggested that new be purchased as
soon as possible as it would mean a
saving in the long run.
Dowd said the system already was
operating after having been cut
down approximately one half and
that he would be glad to cut down
further if it could be done and still
deliver water.
1t was finally decided that Hewes
should go over his plan with Dowd
and other officials in an effort to
determine just what could be done.
Young presented the Hewes-
Young water plan and it was dis
cussed at length. A summary of
the plan appears elsewhere in this

DRY FORCES PLAN FIGHT TO
HOLD SOLID SOUTH IN LINE

Copyright 1888 by United Press
ATLANTA, June Is. - Prohibi-
tionists rallied their forces in the
traditionally dry southland today
for a vigorous stand against rati-
fication or repeal of the eighteenth
amendment.
A council of war" attended by
prohibition leaders lrJm virtually
every southern state and presided
over by James M. Cannon, Method
list bishop, and F. Scott Mcbride,
Anti-Saloon league superintendent,
met last week in Birmingham.
Mcbride publicly conceded that
unless the south holds fast, the
eighteenth amendment is doomed.
Intensive efforts will be made"
he said, ito hold Alabama and Ark
ansas, first of southern states to
face the test"
Alabama and Arkansas are TO
elect instructed delegates to repeal
conventions on July 18 and Ten
nessee will do the same two days
later. South Carolina will vote
November 7 and North Carolina
November 10 on repeal. No date has
been set in other southern states
Not since the days when Carrie
Nation led a militant fight to drive
the saloons out of Kansas, nave the
dry forces been aroused to such a
Staunch fight as impendS in Dixie.
Bishop Cannon, addressing the
council of war;" declared that IF
the south stands firm on the eight
zenith amendment, repeal will fail
Prohibitionists believe that if they
can hold the 10 states of the "old
south" they can win the three 9TH
ers necessary to block repeal else
where. Thirty-six states must rati-
fly repeal to MAKE it effective.
The 10 states about which the
battle lines are being drawn are
Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mis-
