Silage, Hay Cutter
Found Labor Saver
Dual Purpose Machine Is
Best, Plan to Hold Down
Farm Expenses.

BY r. H. Reed. Agricultural Engineer, Col
lege of Agriculture University Of illinois,
WNU Service.
There never has been a year when
it has been more essential that farm
ers make the best nse of every bit of
feed on their farms. and for this rea-
SOP thousands of producers are. turn
ing to both upright and trench silos
as means of conserving their drouth
and chinch-bug damaged corn crop
this fall.
While most farmers, who are plan
ming to harvest at least part of their
corn in the form of silage, hope to use
their own old silage cutters, or to hire
cutters from their neighbors, many
may be forced to purchase new ma
chimes. To such farmers, it is sug-
gested that they consider the purchase
of a machine that will cut and elevate
hay as well as silage.
Ordinary silage cutters will not cut
and elevate hay satisfactorily, but most
hay choppers will cut and elevate 81
lage. BY purchasing a dual-purpose
cutter, the farmer will hold down his
machinery investments and reduce the
unit cost required in operating two
machines. In fact, one of the prin-
cipal objections to farm machines in
the past has been that many of them
could be used for only one operation
and their usefulness was thereby linn
tied to few days or few weeks
each year. The newer cutters that
will make silage as we'll as cut and
elevate hay into the barn tend to elm
mate this former criticism.
Returns on recent QUESTIONABLE
sent to farmers indicate the growing
practice Of chopping and storing hay.
The practice eliminates the need for
work in the hot, dusty NOW at hay
making time and makes for more rap
i'd harvesting. The chopped hay con-
sumes less barn space, is easier to ham
ole when fed and is not wasted as
much by the live stock as in the case

Rust-Resisting Wheat

Two or three strains of wheat which
will resist the disease of rust will be
available within two years, according
to recent statement of the National
Research Council of Canada. For
some years scientists have been pit
ting their wits against rust, which at
tacks the growing plant and under
certain conditions results In heavy

to produce type of wheat that would
resist rust but to embody qualities re-

was closely tied up with Barthou's plan
for an accord between France and
Italy, and Barthou was soon to go to
Rome to further the scheme. Jugo
slavia is allied to France but is not
at all friendly to Italy, and Alexander
hated Mussolini personally, believing
that the duce gave moral support to
the rebellious Croats. But the king
did not want war and was willing to

Only the Serbs are really loyal to the
royal house, though all the people had
admired the strength and bravery of
Alexander, whose life had been at
tempted four times before.
The death of Alexander was held
especially important to Germany by
the statesmen of that country, for they
had looked to him to curb to a con-
siderable extent the alleged ambitions
of Mussolini. He was considered a
close friend of the reich and poten-
tial ally.
France was not only worried by the
possibility of trouble in the Balkans
but also deeply mourned the death of
Barthou. one of her ablest statesmen
and, indeed, one of the ablest in Eu-
rope. He had been working assiduous-
ly on his pet scheme of security pact
for eastern Europe; and, although Ger
many had scored him for trying to
build diplomatic and economic ring
about the reich, last June he personal
ly negotiated an accord between
France and Germany that was believed
to give assurance of peace.

GOVERNMENT crop benefit checks
~ for more than $352,O0O,OOO have
been paid to farmers participating in
the production adjustment program,
according to figures compiled by the
AAA. Some $575,OO0,0OO additional is
scheduled for payment under pro-
grams now in effect, nearly 60 per
cent of it before the end of this year.
Thus, the farmers stake in the AAA
approximates $1,000,00O,OOO.
Payments already made or to be
made before January are included in

tors of the National Association of
Manufacturers, which acted on peti-
lions received from seventeen large

ers assert that such government expert
mentation merely results in depriving
employees in private industry of their

and unemployment at another.
Entrance of the government into

manufacturers statement, "even to
supply relief for the unemployed, con-
stitutes an extravagant use of the tax

"NVhere those in distress cannot be
provided with either public or private
work for which they could be paid,
then public funds may legitimately be
used to provide relief of actual need
on a subsistence basis. But to furnish

way to do the right thing"

to discuss crime which is to open in
Washington, December 3 and continue
three days. President Roosevelt is to

2. Investigation, detection, and APP

8. Criminal courts and prosecution.

ssTHE voice of Hauptmann is the

bergh to the grand jury in Trenton, N.
j., after he had listened to the suspect
in the kidnapping and murder case. The
grand jury accepted this as clinching
testimony and returned an indictment
against Bruno Hauptmann, charging
murder.
The words "Hey doctor Over here,
doctor" were spoken by the man who
got the ransom money from Lind
bergh's intermediary, DR.. John F. Con-
don. They were spoken in the GENE
terry where the payment was made.
Lindbergh heard them and remembered
the voice.
Although the case is invariably re-
ferred to as the "Lindbergh kidnap-
ing" the grand jury returned no kid
nap indictment. Kidnapers may only
be sentenced to life terms. Murderers
face the electric chair.

In 1881, the report shows only few

cipally in the western rim of Penning-

CAPITOL NEWS
(By A. I. Harris.)

John P. Arnoldy, chief of the highway
patrol, has appealed to all Minnesota
motorists to dim headlights when ap-
preaching other cars at night. While
modern headlights are not supposed to
be glaring, many of them get out of adj
juStment and are dangerous, Mr.. Ar
noldy said. In recent test, the patrol
chief found that less than so per cent
of night drivers dim headlights at all,
even after requests to do so by the
dimming of other headlights approach
ing them. In another test, three drivers
out of II dimmed their lights. High
way officials believe drivers will respond
to an appeal for ordinary courtesy
to other drivers. There is no ques-
ton but that a large percentage OF
headlights in use on our highways are
dangerous to other motorists" Mr..
ATnoldy said. A courtesy drive by high
way patrolmen has been ordered.

The figures just released by the state
emergency relief committee, showing a
drop of Alb per cent from January
1888 to January 1884 in the relief load
of families aided, reflects the result of
CWA work in Minnesota. Most of the
decrease followed the advent of that
work in November, but it cannot show
the full benefit of the CWA program
as it reflects relief needs. The peak of
lrelief comes in March, following a
steadily rising curve. BY every in
dication, this curve was headed for a
new high in March, 1894, with conserva-
tive estimates placing the relief lead
from Is to so per cent higher than that
of March, 1888, which itself set a
record. But the present rising curve
was arrested and turned downward
until at the present time it is below the
summer level.
Evidence of greed has shown up here
and there among those who have hay
and grain to sell to the state for drought
relief. In one instance grain dealer
tried to charge 70 cents a buShel for
oats when the market price was about
35 cents. Hay prices have been boosted
by sellers about So a ton. However,
those in charge of buying for the state
executive council, refuse to pay more
than the market price. ALI grain and
hay purchased by the board is bought
in Minnesota and as near to the drought
district as possible. Last week the
executive board voted another $500, 0OC
to be expended for drought relief.
