LITERARY DIGEST is
CONDUCTING NEW POLL

Individual ballots have been re-
ceived by voters in this section in a
new Literary Digest poll of 10000
600 persons to ascertain the present
popularity of the New Deal.
North Cardinals returns in this
new referendum will be Tailed as
unity so they may be compared
with the voting in other States, it
is announced.
The voting of the postcard bal
lots is secret as no signature or 9TH
er Identification is required and the
return postage is paid by the maya
zine. To guard against tampering
and counterfeiting a specially man
ufactured cardboard is used for
printing the ballot, according to the
sponsors of the poll, and all spuri-
GUS votes can be detected immedi-
ately and destroyed.
The ballot asks a yes or no an
swer to the question: "Do you NOW
Approve the Acts and Policies of
the Roosevelt New Deal to date?"
A similar poll to the same TO-
100000 persons was conducted in
the springs of 1884, following the
first year of the Rooselt administra-
ton. Final returns then showed
vote of 6l.15 per cent for the New
Deal to 1885 per cent against it.
Another question on the ballot in
the coming referendum asks each
voter how he voted in 1882 to as
certain if there has been any shift
in political sentiment since the last
election.
Ballots are reported being mail
ed from the magazines headquart-
ers in New York at the rate of over
100000 per day and will continue
until every section of the country
has been sent its proportionate
share of the total being mailed.

WOMAN WHO KILLED
HUSBAND is INDICTED
1ST DEGREE MURDER

Friday as she sat weeping in her
Jail cell following another inter-
view with the father of the man
she is accused of Staying, Mrs.
Daisy Alexander Root was indicted
by the Shelby county grand jury in
Memphis, Tenn, on a charge of
first-degree murder.
The slim, 30-year-old widow was
arraigned in criminal court Tues

killed her 32-year-old husband,
Brenton Root, early Sunday morn
ing few hours after their argu-
ment at night club over his atten-
tons to 19-year-old Lucille Under
wood, cabaret cigarette girl"
After a 3O-minute conference
with his daughter-in-law, which
left her sobbing, the Rev. Benjamin
Franklin Root, Chicago Protestant
Episcopal rector, went to the corri-
dor just outside the grand jury
room.
By chance, he sat down next to
Miss Underwood. He apparently did
not recognize her. The girl glanced
at him and looked away.
Later, Mr.. Root went to the office
Of w. T. McLain, district attorney
general. In about Ave minutes, he
came out, and held conversation
with three couples who attended
the Inflated reconciliation" party
for young Root and his wife Satur-
day when they say Root called Miss
Underwood 'honey."
1--WE talked generally about the
question of parole" General Nc
Lain said of his conference with the
rector. 'He asked if she had a
chance for parole in event of
conviction. I told him, no, she
would have to serve like any one
else"
AS he left the building, Mr.. Root
said: ..-
'Only my daughter and I know
what caused this. It was not wine
nor women. That is all wrong"
He indicated he was bending eve
ry effort to assist Mrs. Root in her
defense. He has offered her place
in his home latter this trouble is
all over"

Question: What is meant by the
words quality eggS'?

Question: What is meant by the
words quality eggs"?
Answer: This term is used to de-
termine eggs that are of standard
weight, uniform in size. shape and
color and with a well finished shell.
The eggs should also be infertile
and free from blood spots or other
foreign material and should contain
a large percent of thick albumen
and yolk that will "stand up.
Fresh eggs with clean shells that
conform to the specifications out
lined are classified as quality eggs"
and command premium when
packed and shipped or sold on the
local markets.
Question: When should roses be
planted for best results?
Answer: In those sections where
the temperature never goes below
degrees above zero, fall planting is
best as the plants set at that time
will make better growth the first
season. The planting, however,
should not be made until the leaves
have fallen from most of the trees
and shrubs. Only field-grown, dor
mant plants should be selected for
fall planting. Set the plants two or
three inches deeper than they were
in the nursery row or pot and wide
enough apart to permit the roots to
spread out as they naturally grow.
Where the temperature runs below
S degrees spring planting is prefer
able. ..s

Timely Farm Questions Answered
At State College

timely Farm questions answered
At State College
Question: Should pine seedlings
be placed in water Immediately aft
er removal from the ground?
Answer: Yes. The drying out of
the roots will cause the seedlings
to die and it is necessary that they
be kept moist and not exposed to
sun or wind until replanted. Where
they are exposed for ten minutes
experiments show that five percent
of them die. If they are left out for
as much as an hour the loss will be
100 percent. Use muddy water
when taking up the seedlings as
this will coat the roots and keep the
sap from draining out.

ITALY'S NEED OF
EXPANSION CAUSE OF
AFRICAN CONQUEST
Muss0lini Sends Married Men To
Front; Italy Is Country OF
100000 People

AN article from rome, appearing
In many of the daily papers this
week, explains Italy's conquest of
Ethiopia as being based on two rea-
sons which Mussoiini think are all
important to his country's welfare.
The reasons given are:
Italy is one of the densest
populated countries in all Europe
2-Much Italian land is very poor
and unable to support families.
Italy's birthrate is falling because
of the lean" war years from 1915
to 1918, but the population still in
creases about third of million a
year. Italy, Mussolini recently told
his people, now is a kindom of
100000.
Twenty years ago Italy went into
the World war. The birthrate from
1915 to 1918 dropped from 1876 a
1000 for the preceding four years
to SO; the marriages during the
war dropped from 26O,319 to 1884,
402.
Since those born then now are of
manageable age. the law of aver
ages should produce great fall in
both the marriage and birth rates.
Mussolini's campaign for more and
larger families has enabled Italy to
show very slight repression when
another mouth to fed often was a
serious matter.
II Duce took power at the time of
his march on Rome October 28,
1922. During the IS calendar years,
I922-1934, the excess of births over
deaths averaged 408,711 a year.
Nineteen twenty-nine with 370,477
and 1882 with 380,349 additions to
the population were the only two
years below the average.
Guido Buffiarini, undersecretary
of the interior, lamented early this
year that the race was suffering
from illumination of vitality"
Italy, however, has shown less
downward trend in her population
increase than most if not all other
countries. Part of this is attributed
to Mussolini's health measures
which have brought down infant
mortality among babies under one
year from 1873 a 1000 in the four
years before the war to los 1000
during the last four years.
Before the war, Italians went
abroad in great numbers. Fewer go
now, particularly to the United
States because of immigration re-
strictions. Now only about 10000
more leave Italy than return each
year. That tends to crowd the coun-
try.
Italy is a land of -l19,7l0 square
miles, but there are many noun
tains and much land of little agri-
cultural value. Mussolini has done
much reclamation work, but for
many of the 100000 farm-owners
It is hard to wiring a good living
from the earth. Therefore Musso-
lini has sent mostly married men to
the African front counting upon
them to appreciate the fertility of
the land he expects to conquer, and
to settle there.

ter of. 'benzene. Younger trees,
which may be damaged by too
heavy an application, require less
er amounts.
Two or three year old trees
should not be given more than half
an ounce, Brannon warned. Four or
five year Odds will take about three
quarters of an ounce. Six year old
trees, or older, may be given an
ounce without danger.
First break the crust of the soil
around the trunk and remove all
grass and weeds. Scrape off any
gum found on the bark, then level
off the soil.
If any borer holes are found just
above the surface of the ground,
place more earth around the tree
until the surface is above the holes.
Place the 'benzene crystals in a
ring around the tree, about an inch
from the trunk. Do not let any cry
stalls touch the tree, Brannon cau-
toned. Neither should they be plac-
ed too far away.
Then throw a few shovelfullS of
dirt over the crystals and pack into
a smooth mound with the back of
the shovel.
The gas from 'benzene crystals is
heavier than air, Brannon said, and
will not rise up to fumigate any
borer holes which may be higher
than the level at which the crystals
are placed.
