September Lawns.
WAVING arrived in September. the
III month that local authorities set
apart as the most desirable for
establishing permanent lawns, it is
well that we give the subject con-
sideration. A very good discussion OF
lawn culture may be found In United
States Department Of Agriculture
farmers bulletin 1877, planting and
care of lawns. Copies Of this may be
secured for the nominal sum OF 5 cents
from the superintendent Of documents,
Washington.
Among points brought out in this
paper are the value of careful prepara-
tion of the soil and the use of only
the best grade of seed. Where the
soil is simply that hauled from the
cellar, it should be strengthened with
some form of organic matter, such as
thoroughly decomposed stable manure
or, If this is not available, peat moss
Where the lawn is very large the
owner may anticipate the seeding Of
nf with q
Summer crop Of COW peas or soybeans.
In grading the lawn it is necessary
to avoid leaving depressions that Will
hold water. Ice Is certain to form In
such pockets and kill the grass. Ex-
cept where large quantities of stable
manure are used the prospective lawn
should be rather heavily fertilized, a
few days before seeding, with an all
around fertilizer. This bulletin sug-
gests using from three to five pounds
of seed per 1000 square feet, dividing
the lot into halves and broadcaSting
in two directions. Kentucky bluegrass
is the premier lawn grass wherever it
thrives and fortunately this particular
area is within the belt. A mixture OF
II parts Kentucky bluegrass, 2 parts
red top, and / part white clover Is
suggested as a desirable formula for
Autumn seeding.
The lawn is easily the most i'm
portant feature of the suburban home
place and one that as rule gives
the home owner the greatest trouble.
Yet if the proper conditions are pro-
vided, blue grass will gradually come
into possession of the lawn and render
it permanently beautiful.

REDUCE THE COST PER PIG
BY w. B. Krueck


The cost of maintaining brood
sows is an important item in the
cost of producing pork. 1t has been
shown that the cost per pig on lit
ters of eight is only about half as
much as in litters of four.
Many sows produce plenty of
pigs but they are not able to save
them. because the pigs are born
weak. The management and feeding
of the brood sows in the next sixty
days will determine largely the
vigOr and vitality of the pigs when
they are born.
First of all a good ration is es-
sential. IL is necessary that the
sows have access to some good
quality proteins and some we'll
blended minerals. At the Indiana
Experiment Station 1t was shown
that sows having some good pro-
teins along with farm grains saved
7S per cent of the pigs farrowed.
Those that were forced to depend
on farm grains alone saved only 3S
per cent of their pigs.
A second requirement is exercise.
During the cold raw days, that are
normally encountered in the next
sixty days. brood sows should be
encouraged to take some exercise.
This can often be accomplished by
scattering some oats in the hog pas
lures. In addition to encouraging
exercise the oats has much value
nutritionally for breeding animals.

Sometimes they were type-set labels

more often were from engravings on

to the family or personality of the
book owner, and great many of
those in the early collections so far

designs belong TO families i'm the

of ancestry reasserted itself, and the
fashion spread To have coats of arms

LIBERTY OR REMUNERATION?

Government bureaucrats, now enjoying unprecedented
powers, are preparing to renew their drive at the next
session of congress for further RECOMMENDATION of the Amer
lean people, according to [. S. Senator Harry f. Byrd
tDemocrat) of Virginia.
In an article entitled Liberty or RECOMMENDATION? ~,
written especially for the Washington Star, Senator Byrd
reviewed some of the inroads that bureaucracy has made
upon individual liberty through emergency laws, and
said: To-day we are faced with the issue of whether such
measures shall become permanent and whether we should
continue toward further RECOMMENDATION of our people in
their daily activities
Citing specific instances of attempts to expand bureau
cratic power, Senator Byrd said:
cit is the nature of bureaucrats to absorb power very
much as a sponge absorbs alcohol. The possession of
power is a constant temptation to use it and to attempt
to increase it. Amendments to the agricultural adjust
ment act introduced at the request Of Secretary Wallace
provide a case in point. These amendments were declared
to be merely clarifying, while in effect they gave the sec
rotary of agriculture an absolute dictatorship over every
food producer, food distributor and food manufacturer in
America.
eff these amendments had been adopted the secretary
would have been the supreme car, with power to say
who should live and who should die. Happily for the
country, | think, the amendments were defeated, al
though desperate efforts were made to secure their pas
sage. The attempt, | am told, will be renewed at the next
session.
Government by bureaucracy is the most costly gov
eminent in the world. 1t is inefficient because it is oper-
ated from Washington by men who have not the business
ability or personal knowledge possessed by those engaged
in the particular industry which the bureau controls. 1t
is costly and inefficient because the vast activities Of the
people of this country cannot be administered from
Washington"

The r still has its critics and these evidently are
not being diminished to any great extent by some of the
attorneys representing the government, when questions
pertaining to the violation of the NRA provisions are
brought into court. Proof Of this was furnished the other
day in press dispatches commenting on a hearing held in
the United States district court In Baltimore. The Grelf
company, clothing manufacturers, succeeded in getting
in federal court an injunction temporarily restraining the
r officials from inflicting on them certain penalties
for alleged violations of the act.
In a subsequent hearing on certain phases of the case,
Judge William G. Coleman in the U. S. district court
sharply criticized the attitude of certain of the attorneys
representing the NRA in the hearing before him, and he
charged them specifically with ''evasion' and ''petty-
Jogging" The NRA, it is said, was represented by a doz-
en- or more lawyers.
In announcing his decision continuing the restraining
order until September, Judge Coleman said in part:
HWe have here a vivid example of a complainant who
liz good faith has been unable to learn how or where to
proceed. He made repeated efforts to learn from the au-
thorities the method of procedure he should follow, and
could not. | am satisfied that these efforts were made in
good faith and that the complainant has the right to re-
sort to this court at this time. [ am not attempting to pass
on the validity of the law itself, or the particular sections
to which objection is made.
"The court cannot refrain from deprecating the atti-
tude which has been shown here today on the part Of the
various representatives of the government. Instead of an
attitude of Willingness to meet these issues which are new
and we are blazing a trail-there has been a cloud of
pettyfogging on the part of the various representatives Of
the government where there ought to have been a willing
ness to meet business men fairly and squarely on these
vital issues and thrash them out in a court of competent
jurisdiction" -.
