DRY PERIOD?
Answer: If plenty of good pasture
is available and the animal is in
good flesh no other feed will be
necessary. However, the cow should
have free access to a suitable min
eral mixture, unless the grazing is
legume crops or legume hay is
being fed. If pasture is short or the
cow is in poor flesh enough concen-
trate should be fed to put the ami
NAL in good flesh before freshen-
ing. Where concentrates are added,
all high protein grains and most of
the corn is removed from the ration
about two weeks before freshening.
A good grain mixture to feed during
this period is composed of equal
parts of wheat bran and ground oats.
QUESTION: HOW CAN I
RID MY POULTRY FLOCK OF
LICE?
Answer: Probably the most effec-
tive delousing product is sodium
flouride. This may be secured at any
drug store and can be applied in
three ways: First, by the pinch
method, second, by busting, and
third by dipping. Dipping is probably
the most economical method as it
requires much less material and
time. One ounce Of the sodium
flouride is used to each gallon of
tepid water. Hold the wings over the
back and dip the birds feet first
until only the heads are out of the
solution. Ruffle the feathers thor
oughly with the free hand to insure
penetration of the fluid to the skin.
The head should also be ducked a
few times during the operation. The
birds should be dipped at such times
as to allow them to dry thoroughly
before going to roost

CHEAP WIRING OFTEN A
CRUEL DISAPPOINTMENT

Electrification of a farm home can
be bitter disappointment-if the
wiring is unsafe and inadequate.
The disappointment is particular
ly hard to bear if the family has
made a sacrifice to install electricity,
said w. E. Jones, Extension agricul-
tural engineer at State College.
Yet families who have to make a
sacrifice are often the ones which
wire their homes improperly in
their effort to cut down the eX-
pense, Jones continued.
No house should be wired until
the family has given great deal
of thought to the uses that will be
and in the future.
| Then the advice of competent
electrician should be sought to de-
termine the type of wiring that will
give the greatest benefits, Jones
pointed out.
! Even though only few lights
and appliances will be used at first,
he went on, it is especially important
to remember that from time to time
the family will wish to add new
equipment.
The wiring should be adequate to
carry all the current that will be
needed, and the wires should be SO
located as to provide sockets and
outlets at all points where lights
and appliances will be used.
Jones stated that he has yet to
find family that thought it had too
many sockets and outlets. Most of
them feel that if they had the job to
than they have.
/ The convenient location of switches
is another factor vital to the fullest
enjoyment and use of electric power
in the farm home.
Jones emphasized that although it
may -. lrs,tls more to p. IN ade-

PAYMENTS OFFERED FOR
WORK DONE IN OCTOBER

Under the soil-improvement pro-
gram, payment will be made for a
number of soil-building practices
that can be carried out during the
month of October.
These practices will be especially
helpful to farmers who must do
more soil-building work if they are
to receive the full amount of pay
ments for which they are eligible,
said Dean I. o. schaub, of State
College.
Over the State, he added, there
are many farmers who have acre
ages of soil-conserving crops that
make them eligible for more pay
ments than they have yet earned
with soil-building practices.
These growers should check over

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
TO BE FOUGHT FOR AND
AGAINST THE NEW DEAL

The struggle for support across
party lines in the presidential cam
paign has been intensified since the
extensive independent voting in the
Maine senatorial election and sever
al State primaries.
Developments are pointing to more
strenuous campaigning on the broad
issue of the New Deal. Readiness OF
some leaders in both major parties
to have it out on that basis, rather
than traditional differences, had
long been manifest. The dispute over
fundamentals appeared to be crys-
talizing more rapidly than at any
time since the conventions.
The division in both Democratic
and Republican ranks is only a ques-
ton of extent. Where there might
have been an inclination to make
allowances for minority sentiment in
one party or the other, most precau-
tons of this kind have evidently
been discarded. Conceivably, the
party dissenters and their influence
on the mass who hold allegiance to
no party can swing the balance.
President Roosevelt and Governor
Landon have shown again a will to
campaign on whether the New Deal
is American or not, sound or un-
sound or worth its cost. Accepting
the invitation to become the presi-
dental candidate of the American
labor party, in New York State, the
President called his campaign one
'for democracy in our industrial
economy and for the maintenance of
American Democratic institutions
against the attacks of predatory in
terests."

QUESTION: WHAT IS THE
PROPER TEMPERATURE FOR
CURING SWEET POTATOES?

Answer: The temperature for best
results should be from 80 to IS de-
grees. This should be continued I'M
til the sprouts begin to appear, which
usually requires about two weeks.
After this curing period, the storage
temperature should be lowered to SO
degrees and kept at that point until
removed for shipment or use. The
temperature should never be allow
ed to go below 40 degrees nor
above so as high temperatures dur
ing the storage period causes excess
shrinkage.

have seen, and they are mastering
the minds and hearts of many men.
There is scarcely a nation on the
face of the earth at this hour that
is not fearful of a renewal of con-
flict.
IF the American Legion has one
mission above another, it is to see
that the principle of liberty, of IN
dividual liberty, is not surrendered
in Difference to any political heresy.

Peace; Colorfui Parade Is
Feature of Meeting
KANSAS MAN MADE CHIEF

The American Legion elected Har-
w. Colmery of Topeka :, Kansas,
Thursday to succeed Ray Murphy as
national commander, after his only
opponent, Quinnby Melton of Georg-
ia, had withdrawn from the contest
and congratulated the Kansan on his
victory.
The legion, in national convention
in Cleveland, had voted Wednesday
to hold the 1887 convention in New
York, after both Governor Lehman
and Mayor LaGuardia personally
had appear and pressed the invita-
tion of the metropolis.
The Legion adjourned its conven-
ton Thursday afternoon, following
adoption of resolutions demanded
that the nation steer course OF
strict neutrality in International af-
fairs, and the introduction of the
new commander by retiring Com
mander Murphy.
Labor Head Speaks
The unanimous vote for New
York, accompanied by whoops and
shouts, followed an address by Will
I liam Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor; in which
the veterans were soberly warned
against foreign entanglements." He
asked the legionnaires to stand side
by side with labor in a drive for
peace.
The veterans greeted Green with
enthusiasm when he shouted: I'VE
must not become involved in q, for
eign war in which we have no di-
rect concern"
The convention also heard an adj
dress Wednesday by Gen. Frank I.
Hines, veterans bureau admlnlstra-
tor, who asserted the paramount
problem facing veterans is "the
manner in which may be met the
necessities of peculiarly appealing
cases of needy wives, mothers and
children of veterans"
100000 View Parade
The legion staged its great parade
Tuesday, down through Euclid ave-
nue. and to the stadium, where the
convention was held. Throngs lined
the route of march, bugleS sounded
and flags waved, as the marchers
poured through the city hour after
hour. Near the head of the column
National Com m n d er Murphy
marched alone.
All the colors of the rainbow were
were exhibited in the great parade,
which is an annual feature of the
legion national conventions 1t was
the big show of the convention-and
the climax. -
One of the biggest crowds ever
collected in Cleveland, local au-
thorities said, turned out to see the
all-day parade under sunny sky.
It was estimated that 100000 to
100000 saw the colorful show.
Baker Points to Responsibility
Newton D. Baker, secretary of
war while the present Legionnaires
were serving overseas and else
where in uniform, addressed the
convention Monday, at its opening
business session. He hailed the
American Legion as "the guardian
of American principles of liberty"
in an international situation that
may fill the stoutest heart with con-
Germ"
Describing the rise of strange
PHILOSOPHERS" in other countries of
the world, Mr.. Baker told the thou
sands of Legionnaires in colorful
uniforms: "You will find your fell
low citizens looking more and more
to you for guidance.
''The situation in the world at
large is one that may fill the stout
est, heart with concern. There have
grown up in the world strange phi,
