MEXICO OPEN
10 7R0TSKY

MF,X1CO CITY, Dec. 7 G.N.S.).
Mexicans soon may get a chance
to see a real revolutionary Boil.
Shevik exile, it appeared today, if
Leon Trotsky takes advantage of
the official Mexican "hint" that
he can find sanctuary here if
Europe gets too hot for him.
Eduardo Hay, Mexican foreign
minister, announced the exiled
BolShevik firebrand, who was ex-
PEELED from Soviet Russia nearly
10 years ago, will be granted
asylum in this country if it is
formally requested.
The Foreign Minister cited a
recent petition which asked au-
thorization for TrotSky to come
here and which stated Trotsky's
life was in danger because of the
refusal of European nations to
admit him to their territory and
the expiration of his permit to re-
main in Norway, where he has
lived since June 18, 1885. The peti-
tion expressed fears of what might
happen to TrotSky should he be
compelled to return to Russia.
According to reports here, the
movement to admit Trotsky to
Mexico was aided by Diego Rivera,
muralist. He is said to have asked
President Lazaro Cardenas to ad-
NIT TrotSky.

RADIO STUDIED
AS EDUCATOR

A wider use of the radio in the
field Of education will be discussed
at a three-day session of the Ma
tional Conference on Educational
Broadcasting to be held at the
Mayflower Hotel beginning Thurs
day.
Forty speakers of national prom
inence will appear on the program
which IS to be held in cooperation
with the Federal Communications
Commission and the United States
Office of Education.
Seven general sessions will be
held during the three days. and
among those who will speak are
Aiming S. Prall, chairman of the
FEC; Harold L. IckeS. Secretary
of Interior; John w. Studebaker,
United States Commissioner of
Education, and other prominent
educators, radio officials and
authors.
Purposes of the conference are
indicated in statement by Mr..
Studebzaker, carried as a foreWord
in the program of the conference,
as follows:
"USe of the marvellous powers
of the radio for genuine educa-
tiOn has been the bright hope
ever since radio began. Some
promising efforts have been
made, but brOadcastOrS and edu.
Gators alike agree that much re-
mains to be done. BrOadcaSterS
have declared that education by
radio is practicable within the
present framework of our broad
casting system.
Educators, on their part, have
discovered that producing sue
ceSSful programs is a far more
complicated process than it first
appeared to be. There is not the
slightest doubt in my mind that
radio will become one of the
most powerful constructive forces
for the education of our people
If we devote adequate attention
to the development of truly edu-
catiOnal programs"

The Federation Of Citizens AS
sociations at a meeting Saturday
night in the District Building op,
posed enlargement by Adolph
oobel. INC, of their abattoir on
Bennings Rd. N. E.
The District Commissioners re-
Gently refused to issue permit
for the abattoir, and the issue is
now before the District Court.
DR.. Charles B. Campbell. chair
man of the public health COM
mittee, laid before tn federation
q report opposing extension Of
the plant, claiming it would de-
preciate property values in the
vicinity and would constitute a
backward step in city planning
In the northeast.
The report cited contemplated
improvements for the northeast,
which include a system Of lakes
and lagoons at the AnacoStia
River, a bridge at the end Of
East Capitol st. and a stadium
for athletic events.
Alfred D. Calvert, delegate
from Lincoln Park Association,
opposed the report on which he
urged the federation to withhold
action until a later date. He
cited several associations in the
northeast, including his own, that
had approved the abattoir.
The federation approved the
report, however, with few oppos-
ing votes.
The federation approved Health
Officer George C. Ruhland'S
plan to establish health centerS
and urged an appropriation of
$4,000 in the 1898 budget for
construction of one building.

By CARL L. DENIES
Frequent demonstrations Of ap-
probation punctuated the concert
of the Don CoSSack Russian Male
Chorus in Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon led by the
diminutive, dynamic director,
Serge Jaroff.
The chorus was in especially
fine voice yesterday with a heavy
response from the bass sections
creating a firm foundation which
makes the singing of this ensemble
such an outstanding popular and
artistic achievement. Almost OBJ
liberated from the program was
the frequent use Of high falSetto
which marred last years concert.
On one Of the rare occasions
when falsetto was reSorted to, such
as in the Nightingale" (Aljabi-
off, the soloist who attempted
these feminine tones was rewarded
for his efforts by a distinct break
in his voice. If Jaroff must bring
in these falSetto tones he might
do better by using female voices,
boy sopranos, or eunuchS.
The opening group Of songs
were Greek Orthodox sacred num-
bers which admirably displayed
the organ-like sorority and the
typically Russian heavy bass Of
the chorus.
Probably the most popular num-
Der the ensemble uses is the His
tory in Song of S. Jaroff and His
Don CoSSack Chorus" (SchVedofD .
This work contains all the thrills
of warfare and hard-riding Cos
sacks, sung with a vigor and ex-
preston that only those who have
experienced these influences may
interpret.
The novel shouting and whist
ling effects used in several of the
peasant folk songs stirred the audi
ence to mirth and a demand for
more. No encoreS were given
until the end of the program,
when the chorus returned to re-
peat one Of the latter-sung num-
berS.
The theme shown above is the
dainty ending tune used in the
latter part of the trio section Of
the third movement of Mozart's
Symphony in G Minor, No. 40,"
which will be heard on the pro-
gram of the United States Marine
B a n d Symphony Orchestra
Wednesday night.

dent Roosevelt in helping to pro-
mote good will between the Ameri-

was on record with a fervent plea
today that King Edward remain
on Britain's throne. He said:
ut is the earnest prayer of
the Australian people that no
irrevOcable decision will be taken
without a period Of reflection.
AbdicatiOn would involve unpre-
dictable consequences for Brit
ain, the empire and the world.

The World for God

Let no man deceive himself.
If any man among You seem to
be wise i'm this world, let him
become fool. that he may be
wise."-First Corinthians, 3-1S.
Salvation takes the bad out of
fellow without subtracting any of
the pep" from his makeup. Thou
sands of spiritual firebrands whose
effective fighting is due in large
measure to the ''Will-To-Do" with
which they were born, give ample
testimony to this wact.
The will to do evil has been
changed in the twinkling of an eye,
by the grace of God, into the will to
do good. They retained all of the
fire, all of the vehemence of speech,
all of the vigor of action, that was
theirs when evil had a strangle-hold
upon them. In fact, they developed
more of it, because of the cessation
of evil habits which had been con-
slant drain on their physical
strength.
Herein lies great difference be-
tween an individual who has been
reformed" and one who has been
Saved"
The reformed fellow is quiet, he is
educated out of his wild, impetuous
habits, he acts with decorum and his
ways are the ways of peace and
quiet. He gravitates naturally into a
condition of responsibility.
The saved individual who becomes
respectable that is, observant of
all the niceties and conventions of
social usage, is not a whole lot of
good to the work of extending the
Kingdom of God. He is afraid to do
anything that will challenge public
opinion, he shrinks from publicity
attendant upon anything "freakish"
or unusual.
The people and things in Gods
world have always been foolish" to
the worldly wise. But where are the
worldly wise? Gods world still goes
onward.
Let us make this world a World
for God.

Contour Burrows Check Erosion
ON HiIly Land

Contour furrowing to control ero-
sion is highly recommended by
specialists of the Soil Conservation
Service and the State College agri-
cultural extension service.
When the pillow is run along the
contours of the land, the burrows are
level and will aid greatly in check
ing the run-off of rain water, said
w. C. Kincannon, soil conservation
list.
A furrow with a level base does
not allow the water to wash down
the hillside, but holds and distrib-
utes it regularly over the field, he
continued. The water is given a
chance to soak into the ground.
Contour furrowing is especially
recommended for pastures or fields
where erosion has reached serious
proportions.
If the land is badly cut up with
gullies, the burrows should be closed
at the edges of the gullies. But if the
field has only shallow depressions,
the burrows may extend across them,
provided the burrows are curved so
as to keep their bases on level.
BY taking the water out of gullies,
farmers can give grass and other
erosion-resisting crops chance to
grow. AS time goes on, the land will
Again become tillable. It will also
produce valuable pasturage.
In the eight erosion-control dem
onstration areas, contour furrowing
has proved to be an effective method
of stopping soil-washing and con-
serving moisture, Kincannon said.
These areas are located near
High Point, Greensboro, Wadesboro,
Lexington, Franklinton, Reidsville,
Charlotte, and Burlington.
Keep Young Pigs in
DiseaSe-Free Lot
Plow up that wormy old hog lot
and plant it to corn or some other
crop, urges H. w. Taylor, extension
swine specialist at State College.
Roundworms are very injurious to
young pigs, he stated. It is better to
keep them away from worms than
to dose them with worm medicine
after they have become infested.
A few days before narrowing
time scrub the sow thoroughly with
brush, using soap and warm water
to remove dirt and worm eggs, he
said. Then put the sow in clean
field, containing suitable forage
crop, where there have been no hogs
for at least IL months.
Keep other pigs and hogs away
from the clean lot, and keep new
born pigs away from old, dirty hog
lots. Leave the pigs on pasture until
they are at least four months old. If
possible, leave them there until
ready for market or until they can
be turned into the corn fields.
For summer pasture, plant soy
beans in rows, cultivate them twice,
and turn in the pigs when the beans
are about IL inches high.
Pigs narrowed in March should be
castrated, weaned, and started on
full feed in May. Fill the self-feeder
with shelled corn and fish meal or

tankage so the pigs can help them
selves.
When cottonseed meal is cheap, it
may be mixed with the fish meal
or tankage in equal parts. Soybean
meal or peanut meal may be used in
place of cottonseed meal in the mix
ture.
Corn should not be mixed with
other feeds. Put it in separate COM
partment in the feeder.
Plant a field of early-maturing
corn for the spring-farrowed pigs to
N'hog down." Harvesting is one-sev-
enth of the cost of producing corn
crop. Pigs will gather the corn and
pay for the privilege.
All pigs and hogs should have ac-
cess to mineral mixture made up
of ten pounds of superphosphate, ten
pounds of lime, and two pounds of
salt.
Timely Farm Questions Answered
at State College
Question: Can a grower reduce his
food and feed crops and receive soil
conservation payments?
Answer: Where such crops have
been produced in excess of home
consumption needs for the farm,
payments will be made only with re-
spect to the shifting of all or any
part of this excess production.
Where these crops are grown with a
soil conserving crop no deduction
will be made from payments due
unless the food and feed crops are
in excess of the needs for home con-
sumption on the farm.
Question: How much grain should
be given poultry during the devel-
oping period?
Answer: In feeding grain the
poultryman should bear in mind
that birds will not develop normally
on grain alone, and that balanced
developing mash should be before
the birds at all times. Good results
have been secured by having both
grain and mash available to the
birds at all times. Other poultrymen
give liberal feeding of grain in the
morning and again in the evening.
Both systems have biven good re-
suits and the main thing to remem-
Der is that grain should be fed more
literally during the developing peri
cd than at any other time and that
the grain mixture should consist of
equal parts of yellow corn and
wheat.
Question: When should nitrate of
soda be applied to vegetable crops?
Answer: The quality of succulent
vegetables is dependent upon rapid
growth and this can be secured by
application of nitrate of soda or its
equivalent in soluble nitrogen, but
the time for applying the soda de-
ponds also upon the vigor and
growth of the crop and upon season
al conditions. The grower must use
his best judgement in determining
when to apply the side dressing.
Care, however, should be taken
when the application is made. The
soda would not come in contact with
the plants as this will cause severe
damage by burning.
