BY JESSE C. SUTER.

8 FAR as Is known, there
n has been no progress dur
~ ing the week on the Dis
4 a trict appropriation bill
other than the disclosure Of an
apparent deadlock between the
conferees over the amount Of the
lump sum. The House group Is
understood to have decided to de-
cline to yield to the Senate group
by accepting the $5.700.000 ap-
proved by the President and passed
by the Senate. The Senate con-
ferees are equally insistent on
supporting what Representative
Blanton is pleased to call the
Presidents budget"
The prediction now Is advanced
that the bill will fail and that q
continuing resolution will be the
result. In this connection, 1t Is
also predicted that the House
group will strive to eliminate from
such resolution any payment by
the United States.
AS the fiscal year approaches,
this uncertainty Is q serious ham
dicap to the District officials, as
it makes it impossible to plan for
starting promptly many activities.
Organized civic Washington con-
tinues to hope and pray that q rule
OF reason may prevail at an early
day and that equity and common
sense may be substituted for this
annually recurring and unbusi-
nesslike controversy.
Unexpectedly, the District did
get q part OF its day on Mon
day. Two Senate bills and one
House bill were called up by
Chairman Norton and passed.
One Of the Senate bills abolishes
the Office Of boiler inspector-the
last fee office in the District-and
creates a new boiler inspection
service under the Engineer Depart
ment. The other gives the Com
missioners the power to suspend
or revoke the right of non-resi-
dents to drive an automobile in
the District for violation Of the
traffic regulations. The third bill
passed was the House bill to regu-
late and control so-called beauty
parlors. This bill will require Sem
ate action.
House subcommittee hearings
were conducted during the week on
the Juvenile Court bill and the uni
form narcotic control bill. Con-
siderable interest has been shown
in these bills and favorable reports
are expected.
The President on Thursday
signed the gas company merger
bill. thus completing the final stage
Of this long anticipated legislation.
The consolidated company now will
be able to issue additional stock
and make necessary improvements
already approved by the Public
Utilities Commission.
The Public Utilities Commission,
during the week, issued a formal
order approving acquisition of the
Washington Rapid Transit Co. by
the Capital Transit Co. 1t is ex-,
pected that in few days the public
will begin to enjoy the advantage Of
this merger to the extent Of the
interchange of free transfers be-
tween the two lines. Such trans
fers, it understood will be upon the
same basis as prevailing between
the car and bus lines OF the Cap
ital Transit Co.

Large Crowds Forecast.

ton crowds" this Summer in Wash
ington is forecast by Merton HeiSs,
who Is making arrangements at the
Mayflower Hotel at present for the
Kiwanis International convention

vations for the Kiwanis are already

OTHERS VIEWS
MACHINE POLITICE
To the Editor:

" IhC AANACOAs
All those voters who like their
State run by Machine politics should
read the plank North Carolina labor
asked to have put in the Democratic
platform, last Friday in the Conven-
ton in Raleigh. 1t followed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's idea of how labor
should be treated. In substance it
asked to be allowed to organize and
that sweat shops be abolished. They
begged that children be not worked
too much, and that mothers and sis
tiers be treated in a humane way.
They wanted thirty dollars per month
pension for the old folks as Congress
has provided for half that amount,
and expects the State to pay the
other half. These workers sought
to have the Great Democratic Con-
vention of North Carolina to fix it so
working men and women would not
be shot down when they refused to
work for a slave wage. They knew
what they had suffered under Demo-
cratic Governors in the past and they
naturally wanted a pledge that such
treatment of labor would not occur
again in this State.
A>OW IhdI ID Cilc SlSI VI WHAT TABOR
asks: that part of our people upon
whose work we all must depend, ask
ed of the great machine that runs our
State. 1 wish 1 had space to give
you word for word the reply of the
Great Machine to labors request, but
1 have not. Suffice it to say, they
have told labor they will do moth
ing labor has asked for unless it is
practicable. If you have any doubt
about the meaning of that word, let
me assure you it means nothing for
those who toll in North Carolina
Like it or not that is the truth. What
is said her about labor is Just as true
OF the farmers. Neither have no
more show in this State under the
rule of the Democratic machine than
SNOWFALL would have in hades.

FAST CULTIVATION
OF COTTON URGED
Treatment Following Re-
cent Generous Rains Sug-
gested by Expert

College Station, Raleigh, June 10
Rapid cultivation, thick spacing or
the plants, and a side application OF
nitrate of soda should be practiced by
Piedmont Carolina cotton farmers fol-
lowing the rains which fell over most
of that section during the past week
This is the opinion of A. r. Morrow,
veteran extension worker and county
agent of Iredell County In a letter to
the farmers of his county, Mr.. Nor
row makes some timely suggestions
about the present cotton situation:
g.. where the cotton seed are still
good, 1 feel that termination will be
rapid and that a small application of
nitrate, fOllwed by very rapid cultiva-
tin and leaving the cotton thickly
spaced will certainly increase our
chances for making at least part of a
crop. In some few cases where the
seed were planted early and have rot
ted, l am not so sure but that it
would pay to plant over a part of the
acreage at least. This suggestion will
certinly apply to those people who
have to depend entirely on cotton for
cash income. In case planting over is
necessary, the same methods of fer
tilizing, rapid cultivation and thick
spacing should apply"
Mr.. Morrow says where a person
has as much as 80 to 40 percent of a
stand of cotton, it would be Eetter
not to plant over but to use peas or
! beans in skip places.
Especially does the replanting and
use of peas and beans apply to the
lighter sandy soils, he says. In the
case of the heavy soils, where there
is no stand of cotton, it would be bet
ter to use the land for corn or a row
of corn and row Of soybeans or cow
peas.
There is still plenty of time to grow
a supply Of feed. This may be done
by planting Sudan grass, silage corn.
cowpeas, soybeans and mixtures of
the beans and peas. 1t is necessary to
concentrate on growing a feed sup
ply especially where lespedeza has
died due to the dry weather, Morrow
says.

MAY MUZZLE DOGS
RUNNING AT LARGE

College Station, Raleigh, June 10
ut may be necessary to enact in
North Carolina law similar to one in
England which requires the muzzling
of all dogs running at large said l.
l. Case, extension specialist in animal
husbandry at State College.
"The enormous losses due to rabies
among human being and animals. to
say nothing of sheep and other farm
animals killed or MANNED by dogs, is
ADEQUATE reason for such a law
For the past few years much dam
age by dogs has feen reported by
sheep men over the State. Dogs, many
of which are worthless, should not be
allowed to hamper this paying in
dustry'
But in spite of the dog menace
Case continued, sheep men are work
ing hard to improve the industry
through the use of purebred rams and
better methods of breeding, feeding
and management.
