Turn to Pasture

Farmers in the corn belt are taking
a leaf from the book of experience OF
the British farmers after the Napole-
onic wars. The latter, finding them
selves unable to compete with cheap
foreign grain, which came in after hos
tilities ended, turned their fields
back into pasture land. Pasture land
offers many advantages because it pro-
yides a rotation which is beneficial to
the soil. 1t requires blowing each
year. Many of the grasses used are
ANIMALS which do not reseed.

ERANCIS J. GORMAN, head Of the

leaders the secret Instructions for a
general walk-out in the cotton textile
industry on September A. The order
affects approximately 100000 cotton
mill workers; and about 100000 more
will go on strike then or soon after
in the silk, rayon and wooden mills.

reporters, shat the strike not only
will materialize but will be success

The administration, however, still
hoped that the strike could be avert
ed through the efforts Of the national
labor relations board headed by Lloyd
Garrison. The union leaders have
made it plain that they expect the
strike will be indirectly financed by
the government through the relief or

unions have not sufficient funds to
carry the workers through the pros

As against the concessions made to
Cuba, which are regarded as so i'm
portant from the standpoint of that
country as to offer great promise of

rather widespread benefits to agricul-

The profit" in question accrued
through bookkeeping operation when
the amount of gold fixed by law as the
equivalent of 81 was reduced from
1922 grains to 1871 grains. This
meant that an ounce of gold was

various assets should be deducted.
He listed them as follows:

To bring about greater efficiency

are being realigned. Industry is d.
vided into % classes, the initial move
toward cutting down the number of
codes from 6S2 to about $50 and group
ing them in ten grand divisions. Merg-
ers are relied on to make the drastic
reduction in the number of codes.
Codes with similar or related inter-
ests are grouped together. Allied

GENERAL JOHNSON has repeated
NJ ly said that he could not afford
to sacrifice his private business earn
ing capacity by remaining at the head
of the MIRA on a salary of $4,000 a
year, intimating that he. would have
to retire from his governmental job.
1t is now revealed that on July.1 his
salary was increased to $4,000 year
by order of President Roosevelt.
MUCH political benefit to the ad-
AVA ministration in the congressional
campaign is expected to accrue from
the reciprocal trade treaty with Cuba
which has just been announced. It
is the first Of the projected trade
agreements and little criticism of it is
likely to be heard The domestic sugar
producers, who of course do not like
the reduction in the duty on Cuban

The domestic tobacco interests are

Joe, as the village wise cracker

rider, and tells the neighborS that
he will show" them by going to the

way"
Mrs. Whitney is suffering from
nervous strain, according to the
report. hopes to avoid testifying by
negotiating an amicable agreement
with her Sister-in-laW.
The terms of the settlement, ac-
cording to one source, would call
for Mrs. Whitney's surrender Of
the child to Mrs. Vanderbilt. In
return, Mrs. Vanderbilt would be
asked to withdraw an application
in Surrogate S court to be appoint
