Doughton Voted
For Vinson Bill

r.
L. Doughton, of the Ninth North
Carolina District, voted for the
Vinson bill in the bonus battle in
the House of Representatives last
week. The Vinson bill had the
support of the American Legion
and was reported favorably to the
House by the Ways and Means
Committee, of which body Mr..
Doughton is Chairman.
Three major bonus bills were
voted on by the House: First, the
Vinson bill, introduced upon the
request of the American Legion and
supported by that group of vet
Grams. This bill received the sup
port of the Ways and Means Com
mittee and the vote of Mr.. Dough-
ton. 1t calls for the immediate
payment of the adjusted-service
certificates of the veterans of the
world war, to be financed as other
obligations of the Government arc
met. This bill was defeated by a
small margin.
The second measure was the Pat
man bill, calling for the imdediate
payment of the adjusted-service
certificates to world war veterans
with printing pree money. This
measure was designed primarily tc
bring about initiation rather than

obtain payment of the bonus to as
sist the veterans, it was charged
President Roosevelt and leaders of
the House and Senate have openly
expressed opposition to this measure,
declaring it would bring financial
chaos to this country should it try
to pay its debts with printing
press money. This bill passed the
House in defiance of the threat of
a Presidential veto.
Although opposed to the Patman
bill, Mr.. Doughton used his influ-
ence to bring out a rule to make it
possible for it to be considered on
the floor of the House.
The third measure was the Tyd-
ings-Andrews bill providing for the
payment of veterans a~djusted-ser-
vice certificates in coupon bonds of
the United States equal to their pre-
sent face value with interest at the
of three per cent per annum,
from January 1, 1886 to January 1,
1915. Mr.. Doughton also voted for
this measure after the Vinson bill
was defeated.
1t is believed that the Tydings-
bill will form the basis of
compromise of the bonus question.
Mr.. Doughton, as a conferee of the
House, will be in a position to use
his influence to work out the best
possible bill for the veterans.

Washington.-Despite half a
dozen changes to make the veter-
ans laws more liberal, the veterans
bureau figured hat the federal
government was still spending
S300,000,000 a year less for the
care Of ex-service men than it was
before the economy bill cut of
1888.
The bureau asked for $e66,S3S,-
900 for the fiscal year 1884, but
after the economy bill went through
this figure was trimmed to $685.
$4,000.
Before the year had ended, how
ever, two changes added $96, oo0,-
900 to this cost and the bureau
wound up by spending $602,S38,-
600 for the 1884 fiscal year.
Estimate was made by the bureau
that it could go through the fiscal
year 1885, which ends this July,
in S546,505,S 91. The President
made another change in the law,
however, which added s21,o92,2o5
to the cost. Congress made it a
little more and appropriated $751;
598,096 and then lowered the bars
still another notch to add $780,
089,40S to the cost.
Other recent changes by presi-
dental regulation set officials to
figuring again and they produced
an estimate that it would cost
S660,242,5S5 by the end Of this
fiscal year.
This figure they placed alongside
the $966,S38,000 they had calcul-
ated necessary to cover expenses
for 1884 to get an estimated re-
naming annual savings Of $780,
100000.
And virtually all of it is being
made by the cutting off of nom
service connected cases." n Off

Maps Program
For Congress

Washington.-A tentative sew
en-point program for the remand
.er OF the present session Of congress,
regarded at the Capitol as signif-
cant for its commissions, was mapped
out by President Roosevelt and
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
leader.
The calendar, while not a "hard
and fast" one but flexible enough
to permit of intrusion of other bills,
listed the following as among the
dozen or more pending major meas
ures which will be considered with a
view to final disposition:
1.-NRAe extension.
Social security, including
both old age pension and unemploy-
ment insurance.
3.-Regulation of utility holding
companies.
4.-Increased capitalization for
the Home Owners Loan corpora
ton.
5.-Consolidated transportation
regulation, including railroads,
aviation, buses, and trucks.
6.-Banking legislation increasing
powers of the Reserve board over
credit and currency.
Tightening of food and drug
Senator Robinson on leaving the
White House, emphasized this was
not to be considered a must list.

POULTRY GROWERS MAY
REDUCE FERTILIZER COSTS

Poultry growers may use chicken
manure in home-mixed fertilizers to
materially reduce the cost of crop
fertilization, says r. E. L. Greene,
assistant in farm management re-
serch at State College.
The manure is rich in organic mat
ter, he says, but is not a complete
fertilizer; consequently, it should not
be applied without the other ingredi-
ents necessary to supply the proper
plant food.
DIR. H. B. Mann, agronomist at the
college, has recommended mixture,
including chicken manure, which
Greene is passing on to the frogers
as follows:
A ration of 100 pounds of chicken
manure, 900 pounds of acid phos'
plate, 200 pounds of Nitrate of soda.
and 100 pounds of potash.
The mixture will cost approximate
ly SIP a ton, Green points out, while
commercial fertilizer of the same
analysis will cost around $25 ton.
This mixture, of couse, is not suit
able for all crops or all types of soil,
but the county agents or the fertilizer
specialists at State College will be
glad to furnish formulas to growers
who wish them, he says.
Greene cited the case of a farmer
who applied the mixture at the rate
Of $50 pounds to the acre on a crop
of corn and secured yield of 40
bushels per acre. The farmer had
intended to apply a side dressing of
rs pounds of sulphate of amonia, but
was prevented by the excessive rains.
The same mixture was used in en-
silage corn and yield of 10 tons of
ensilge per acre was secured.
This fertilizer is mixed like any

He suggests that the manure be,

The fertilizer can be mixed at the
time of application.
