During the past IL months, the De
parument of Agriculture has had calls
for $50, 100 copies of Farmers Bulletin
1913, which contains sketches and floor
plans of 40 houses, and there have been
innumerable requests for other govern
lnent bulletins providing information in
building and undermining.
The Department has two new bullc-
tins issued this year: Farmers Bulletin
I74o, undermining Farm Houses,
containing plans, photos and sketches of
- typical farm houses remodeled by
their owners, and Farmers Bulletin
1881, Roof Coverings For Farm Build
ings and Their Repair" which discusses
shingles, bituminous coverings and can
vas for roofs.
In the farmhouse plan bulletin are
plans for one story growing houses OF
two or three rooms to which additions
can be made readily. There are houses
for every section of the country. Work
ing drawings with all necessary dinner
sions and details for building are avail
able from extension services of state
agricultural colleges at small charge

ally fine fiber.
Recent tests have revealed that
strength and wearing quality is associ-
ated with fine fiber, as much as it is with
long fiber. Heretofore growers and spin
ners alike highly priced Sea Island cot
ton for its strength, took it for granted
that it was the long fiber that was the
essential characteristic.
Experiments in the Department OF
Agriculture have exploded this belief
and indicate that strength is more re-
suit of fneness of fiber than OF length.
In breeding to secure fine fiber, the De
partment has turned to an almost worth
less variety of very low yield grown by
Hopi Indians in northeastern Arizona.
Now Hopi isn't market cotton, since
it yields only few pounds to the acre
and is generally undesirable. 1t does
have fine tibers remarkably uniform in
length and strong.
Last year, the Department crossed
Hopi with Acala cotton, variety intro
duced years ago by the Department from
southern Mexico. The results have been
promising.
Officials in the Department point out
that new supply of superior quality
fine stapled cotton adapted to American
conditions would help to hold and re-
claim the world market against all conn
petitors.

Livest0ck

Chemical warfare against injurious
bacteria, viruses, and parasites has done
much to reduce the hazards OF the live
stock industry, according to DIR. John
r. Mohler, Chief of the U. 5. Bureau
of Animal Industry.
While species of livestock parasites
number thousands, through diligent re-
search science has not only devised means
of keeping such enemies down, but has
succeeding in practically annihllating
certain species.
DIR. Mohler points out that the CAM
paign in the South against the cattle tick
has reclaimed about 81 per cent OF the
area formerly infested by this parasite.
Eradication of bovine tuberculosis has
been so successful that 40 entire states
are now practically free from the DIS
ease.
Much of the success in these states,
DIR. Mohler feels, has been due to the
whole-hearted cooperation OF livestock
owners and public veterinary and live-
stock officials. He also credits manu-
sfacturers of disinfectants and Insecticides
with having most important influence
7 By providing chemicals for use against
animal diseases and parasites.

Minerals

numerals
Isaac Van Horn, Editor of The
Southeast Miner, calls attention to the
opportunities open to many farmers to
increase their cash income by the ex-
ploitation of various mineral deposits on
their farms. In this respect Mr.. Van
Horn says:
"In almost every section OF the farm
ing districts of the Southeast, are located
minerals of commercial value if they
were developed deposits are re-
ceiving practically no attention what
ever.
I'VE wish to give an illustration-A
farmer in Buncombe County, North
Carolina, who for IS years had plowed
around a stony section OH his farm; he
visited us and upon our advice at spare
times, did enough work and secured
samples, which he had assayed and the
result is, the value of his farm today in
mineral being produced is far more than
he ever dreamed his entire farm was
worth; yet, it is an extra crop because
his agricultural lands are undisturbed.
Such work will in this area in many
cases develop great values in the metal
lie minerals, such as Gold, Silver, Cop
per, Lead, and many others.
1t may result in finding Brick Clay,
Pottery Clay, Mica, Feldspar, Sand
stone, Building Stone, Gravel or a hun
bred other non-metallic minerals"

phasize the need for vigilance against
wood ticks that spread this disease, warns
DR.. F. c. Bishopp of the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Fortunately, DR.. Bishop says, only
small proportion of these common ticks
are infected. The disease, however, is
widespread and has high mortality. In
the East, infested ticks are known to oc-
cur in Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina. A large percentage Of the
cases of spotted fever have been in Mary
land and Virginia in the vicinity of
Washington, d. c., and in North Car
DINA.
Ticks are unusually abundant in the
East this year. As many as 100 have
been picked off dog at the end of a day
in the woods. Ticks are most nuner-
GUS in the early Summer. Usually they
practically disappear by Aug. 1, making
the late Summer safer for camping trips
and hikes.
DIR. Bishopp points out that ticks are
not likely to transmit the disease unless
they remain attached to body for at
least six hours.

NEW YORK. February IAN asser-
tion that the japanese would froWn on
Occidental interference in the Orient

dislike an Asiatic intrusion in the
Western Hemisphere was left today by
Ambassador Hiroso Saito of Japan.
In q speech at the annual dinner
Of the Japan Society, Ambassador Saito

several minor ard at least one major
war" by occidental aggressions," and
aided:
Naturally, our people want no
repetition of these Western enchoach-
nients in their sphere of the world.
The United States would countenance
favorably none in any part of the
Americas from Europe or Asia"
Discounts Major War.
The Japanese envoy expressed the
opinion there was little fear of i'm
mediate war on major scale, due to
present-day militaristic tendencies.
"Armaments indeed are being in
creased in Europe. in America and in
Asia" he said, "but this does not
alarm me. believe it is only a tenn
porary phase of mentality and action.
There is already strong de-
sire in all nations to see ornaments
reduced"
He said "nationalism today is de-
fensive and passive" as compared with
the aggressiveness of the era prior to
the World War.
Ratio Question Parried.
Another prominent japanese, Admi-
raj ]. Iwashita, chief technical expert
for the japanese delegation to the
Naval Disarmament Conference, was
non-committal on the subject of his
country's demands for naval parity.
why do you want a -five-three
ratio?" he parried in reply to a ques-
ton. I'VE answered that in London
Now it is all done. We withdrew from

He explained Japan's demands were
partly a matter of national prestige
and partly question of national de-

vt is customary for the President
to recommend legislative pro-
gram at the beginning Of =
i congressional session. A solid
month passed this year before Pres
ident Roosevelt presented single
legislative recommendation. Then it
was pointed suggestion that Congress
find way to pay that bonus which
it was so anxious to pass over his veto.
No important legislation has been
enacted except the bonus; none con-
sidered except the substitute farm
program.
The Senate has not epen taken
the trouble to meet. except upon
nine days during the month. The
House has been meeting daily, but
mainly to permit Congressmen to
make political speeches for the
record, so that they may be
ranked free to the poters back
home.
So far this has not been a session
OF Congress, but largely bipartisan
political rally-at Government expense.
