5000 LIMIT SET
ON CROP, FEED
LOANS IN STATE
Indiana Farmers May Apply
Now Tor Aid, Says
MEG Chief.

Indiana farmers now may apply
sor emergency crop and feed loans,
Clarence Manion, Indiana director
OF the National Emergency Council,
stated today.
Hundreds OF farmers have re-
ceived loan application blanks
through field supervisors of the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
Agency and county agricultural
agents. The loan for any one farm
er will be limited TO 5000 and will be
advanced only II the farmer is I'M
able to secure credit elsewhere.
Mr.. Manion said
THE loans will be made for the
production, planting, cultivating
and harvesting OF crops for summer
and for supplies where necessary for
production of 1895 crops, or to pro-
duce necessary feed for livestock.
NO loans will be made for pur-
chasing live stock or machinery or
for payment of rents, debts or
taxes"
Interest Fixed
Interest rates on the loan are
fixed at So per cent. Security will
be first lien on all crops financed
with the proceeds OF the emergency
loan, or by a first lien on livestock
where the loan is to be used for
feed.
A limit OF $500 has been placed
on the tenants of any one land own
er in each county, with the 5000
maximum applying to members of
one household who are occupants of
the same farm.
Disbursements on the loans will
be handled through the regional of
fees at st. Louis.
Mr.. Manion advised farmers seek
ing loans to contact their county
agent or Alan l.. Galyeen, Indian
apolis; Carter H. Holland, South
Bend; j. G. Broshears, Tennyson,
and I. J. Holler, Madison.
During the last two years 23O1
emergency crop and feed loans have
been made to Hoosier farmers for
total of S173 $40.

Planting Time.
TREES and shrubs may be planted
successfully up to the middle of
November and, in fact, any time up
until the ground freezes. The greatest
handicap that newly transplanted trees
face is that of water supply because
so much of the water absorbing roots
are injured in transplanting. II suf-
ficient soil is moved with the plant.
transplanting may be done successfully
any time in the dormant season.
If one observes the care with which
new trees and shrubs are being plant
ed around the base Of the big Federal
buildings on Constitution avenue, he
would gain an idea of proper pro-
cedure. A hole Is dug larger than
actually needed. the old soil is dis
carded when gravelly and good top
soil used instead.
Half the difficulty in producing at
tractive trees and shrubs would be
solved if people would take more care
at the time Of planting.
Minor Nutrients.
HOME gardeners have talked Of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash so many years that these words
have come to be common terms of
discussion and the experienced gar
dener knows that the well balanced
fertilizer should contain all three.
Now it appears as If gardeners will
have to become conscious of other
necessary elements, such as magne-
SUM, copper, boron and the like,
which are thought of usually only in
the chemical laboratory. AS soil is
cultivated year after year, the orig
inal content of some of these lesser
elements has gradually diminished to
the point that in some soils their lack
is cutting down the quantity and quail
ity Of the crops. This harps back also
to the day that the home gardener
secured his fertilizer in the form of
stable manure. Manure had many
different elements beside the nitro
gen, phosphorus and potash men
toned above. When we came to use
pure chemicals instead of manure,
the situation changed materially.
The local gardener may well ask
just how much these minor elements
concern him. The answer is not fully
known. Last year, one gardener in
Woodbridge corrected yellowed con-
, dition of his dahlia leaves by apply
ing magnesium in the form Of EPSON
salts lightly to the soil. In New York
State, caulif1ower growers found they
could no longer grow nice white heads
of caulifower, but found the centers
brown and unattractive Cornell Uni
versity discovered that an applica-
tion of borax in amounts less than 5
pounds per acre with the other fer
tili7er made possible the growing Of
fine cauliflower again. More than 5
pounds of borax per acre injured the
caulif1ower. In British Columbia. an
investigator has found that boron In
serted into the trunks Of apple trees
increased yields and prevented the
development Of pitting Of the fruit.

minds, was even more beautiful than
the gigantic blooms on the nearby

Despite the fact that the killing

temperature between the suburbs and

DR.. Hollowell warned Takoma gar
deners not to be in a hurry to cut
down their chrysanthemum plants
after the frosts, but to permit time
for the nutrients to pass down to the
crown and adjacent roots. Too early
cutting may greatly weaken the tiny
plants that are next years hope.

Such an occasion occurred on a re-

He used to save money through the
aegis Of an irresponsible friend. The
friend was wont to run regularly short,
borrow from the other chap and pay
back the loan every pay day. The
amount loaned represented definitely a
saving, sort Of special account.
Some weeks ago the inprovident one
grew sufficiently prosperous again that
he no longer needed to make his regu-
lar weekly touch. The other chap be-
gan to spend the extra money. He has
spent it to the last nickel and with
painful regularity ever since.
He is slowly losing patience with
the other fellow, and it begins to look
as if their friendship definitely would
suffer before long.

pity, but that he is encouraged to talk
freely with his advisers and to feel
that he Is cooperating in correcting
himself.
AS a result, the classes on Columbia
road have attained popularity that
few classes can claim. There is no
hockey playing, DR.. Ewerhardt says;
no tardiness and little misbehavior.
One of the chief reasons these chill
dren have a problem" according to
DR.. Ewerhardt. is a reading disabil-
ity." The doctor estimates that
about 3 per cent of all children have
it-that makes about 2.700 of WASH
ingtons $4,000 school children.
VICTIMS of reading disability are
left-eyed. That is, they see more
clearly from right to left than vice
versa. DR.. Ewerhardt made simple
test with the writer and revealed him
to be somewhat left-eyed, which was
somewhat surprising as he never had
much trouble learning to daer-oops!
That word is supposed to be read" ,"
but it was written by a left-eyed man.
Children who are left-eyed and
right handed. or vice versa, occasion
ally stammer and stutter. Another
interesting fact about the disability,
and one that has not been explained,
Evening star., 1936-07-19

is that more boys have it than girls.
1t also occurs frequently in children
who are emotionally immature.
DR.. Ewerhardt suggested that the
reason for more boys being left-eyed
than girls may be that boys are more
dependent on their mothers; less
likely to work things out for them
selves and to overcome natural handi-
caps.
The Institutes classes are primarily
for the correction of this reading dis
ability. Pupils work with gadgets
called "tachistoscopes," which are
nothing more than strips of paper
wound on spools manipulated by small
brass wheels There is a sort of irony
in the fact that an implement with
such a big name should be used to
teach children to read and pronounce
the simplest words or syllables. No
one is going to stump youngsters with
that one, though.
A bright-faced boy, who would have
been perfectly able to keep up with
others Of his age in school if he were
not left-eyed, was manipulating a
"tachistoscope" when this writer
visited the class. The paper wound
past the rectangular, open surface Of
the instrument and stopped. Before

former the box rises up on end and
the drawer slowly slides up and out.
Explanation: The drawing shows
how the match box is threaded. A
slit is made in the edge Of one end of
the drawer, and in 1t Is inserted the
knotted end of the thread.
Next, the thread is brought around
and across the bottom of the drawer,
and the latter is replaced in the out
side of the box while the thread is al
lowed to pass between the fingers,
with the box placed fiat on the palm
Of the hand.
In this position, when the hand Is
extended gently, the thread will be-
come taut and the box will magically
(?) sit up, and the drawer will open
facing the audience.
The tension in this effect is made
because the other end of the thread
is attached to either the left or right
side of the performers belt!

COME of you have asked how Re-
- becca, the Doberman pinscher, is
coming along.
Well, in spite of her being German
and having Jewish name, she is
doing we'll She learns some things
quickly and others slowly, and it is
very easy for her to get out of hand
when her schooling does not continue
steadily.
She is great jumper. During the
Winter we taught her to jump over
things placed in doorways, and now
that we can work her out of doors her
knowledge is getting more practical.
Even now she is a little scared Of
the sheep, but I think that fear will
wear of in time. Last Summer. you
know. Susie, the eve, butted Beck
right into the ground and hurt her.
Beck doesn't want to repeat that eX.
perience. BY Fall hope to have her
herding the sheep the way she can
when she has a mind to-"
She'll retrieve well, but she still is
puppyish in wanting to play with the
object for some minutes before bring
ing it in.
So far as trailing goes, she is better
than everage. Sometimes leave her
in the house. There she is kept out
Of sight of the windows until I've had
time to get way over the hill behind
some bushes. Then Beck is released
and told to find me.
She'll pick up my scent almost i'm
mediately and come plowing through
the grass in great long leaps. At spots
where I've walked in the water or
made jumps of my own, she gets
puzzled and circles around and around
until she finds the smell again. But
always she finds me.
So far she has been little too
friendly with strangers. That may be
her natural disposition. On the other
hand, the sight of a stranger coming
up the drive causes barking that
sounds terrific enough to scare any
one. Perhaps she'll be better watch
dog later.
1t is mighty interesting to watch
her develop. When she does anything
HIOIlS duU We LIlnlk we OuSQL 10
smack her, she'll take some comical
looking attitude that is so funny we
| can't remain angry.
These times, though, are more in
frequent every month. She under
stands good deal that is said to her,
and talking to" is more effective
than a smack unless the offense has
been very, very bad.
For the last six months she has had
little to eat except scraps from the
table. She seems to thrive on these
and we are careful to keep them clean
and of the sort she ought to eat.
Sugar delights her, but she does
not get very much Of it. Three or
four times she has climbed on the
dining room table and eaten a whole
bowlful Of sugar; nor did it make her
sick. But it could have done so.
Sugar isn't good for dogs. We don't
let company feed her cake or candy.
Altogether, she seems to be shaping
into a grand dog, living up to every
thing the Doberman pinscher book
said about her hreed-and that's
great deal.
