Question: How long should the heat
be continued on the potato curing
house?
Answer: The house should be heat
ed at all times during the curing and
storage period, but the temperature
should be lowered to SO degrees after
the curing is completed which usually
requires about two weeks. The curing
temperature should be from 80 to 85
degrees F and when the sprouts begin
to appear the potatoes are cured. Dur
ing the storage period the tempera-
ture should never go above SO as hign
temperatures during the storage pc
riod causes excessive shrinkage.
Question: How far apart should I
place apple and peach trees in plant
ing home orchard?
Answer: The apple trees should be
set at least 35 feet apart and the
peach tree rs feet between trees. In
setting the trees be sure that the hole
is wide enough to receive tn roots
without bending them from their ma
tural position. The trees should be
planted from one to two inches deep

with the top soil placed around the

October 81 is Last Day To Comply

With 1887 Soil Program.
Don't forget that October 81 is the
last date on which soil-building pay
ments can be earned under the 1897
agricultural conservation program
warns E. Y. Floyd, of State College.
Farmers who have not yet earned
the full amount Of their soil-building
allowance still have time to earn pay
ments by seeding winter cover crops
turning under legumes and carrying
out other practices prescribed by the
program.
In checking growers compliance
Floyd said, it has been found that a
number of farmers have not yet met
all requirements for growing soil-con-
serving crops to qualify for diversion
of payments.
Winter cover crops such as crimson
clover. Austrian winter peas, and
vetch may be sown in October to earn
soil-building payments and to helr
qualify a grower for his diversion pay

| ment, Floyd added.
Payments offered under the pro-
gram for soil-building practices will
largely offset the cost of doing these
Things to Improve and conserve the
soil, he continued.
County farm agents have notified
growers of the acreage of conserving
crops they still need to qualify for di-
version payments and of the amount
OF bodybuilding practices needed to
earn the full amount of their soil
! building allowance.
Seeding crimson clover, Austrian
winter peas, and vetch in October will
count in the soil-conserving acreage
for 1887 and also as a soil-building
practice for which payment will be
made at the rate of $3.50 per acre.
Scybeans, velvet beans, or cowpeas
turned under in October as green
manure will earn the grower 81 an
acre as a soil-huilding practice.
Planting forest trees on crop land
will earn $3.50 an acre, and on other
land SIS an acre. Improving stands of
timber by thinning according to me-
thods recommended by the extension
service, $3.50 per acre.
Ground limestone or superphosphate
may be applied to non-crop pasture
land or in connection with the seed
ing of crimson clover, vetch, and Aus
TRAN winter peas.
/ For applying 1000 to 5000 pounds of
ground limestone per acre, the rate
of payment is 81 per thousand pounds.
For applying 100 to 500 pounds of
16 per cent 'superphospate, or it's equi-
valent, payment will be made at the
rate of 60 cents per hundred pounds.
For constructing adequate terraces
where needed, payment will be made
at the rate of 40 cents per hundred

IS inches with burrows sufficiently

only through municipal control
of canal power will the taxpayers
of the Imperial Irrigation District
be able to pay the cost of the
canal, Mason added
The visitor, bondholder in this
and numerous other California ir-
rigation districts, has been vitality
interested in the growth and fu-
ture Of the valley for years. In
Washington, he fought shoulder
to shoulder with Representatives Of
the irrigation district in favor of
legislation providing for construc-
ton of Boulder Dam and the All
American canal.
In a discussion OF power pos
sibilitieS here, Mason cited the
case of the Hetch Hetchy project
in San Francisco, from which
private power company purchases
electrical energy. In a recent cleo
ton to determine if the city should
distribute It's own power, the pro-
position was turned down because
the private utility spent thousands
of dollars fighting it, Mason said.
Now, with voters having disap-
proved municipal distribution, Sec
retary of Interior Harold Ickes
has ruled that the municipality
cannot legally sell its power to
the private company for distribu-
ton, leaving the city for the time
being without any means of dis
posing of Hetch Hetchy power.
Touching upon bonded indebt-
edness of the irrigation district,
Mason expressed the opinion that
the municipal bankruptcy act APP
proved this week by the state legis-
lature will be held unconstitutional

BENEATH CITY
Tucson Youths Flogged
Subordiinates As
Discipline

TUCSON, Ariz., April 8.
(UP) - T wo young boys,
said to be members of juve-
mile gangs whose leaders
branded and flogged subor-
dinates to enforce discipline, were
held on burglary charges today as
police pushed their investigation
at the gangs headquarters in the
storm sewers beneath the city.
The gangs, police said, were
known as the BLACK Legion the
Red Devils" and the "Dynami-
ters," and consisted of boys rang
ing in age from nine to IA years.
Three leaders went to California
two weeks ago, the detectives
learned.
Members of the gangs, according
to detectives, were identified by
brands burned into their flesh.
One group had circles burned on
their legs with heated silver dol
lars, and another used circles and
crosses burned with redhot ice
picks.
The boys confessed, the police
said, they conducted burglary and
Shoplifting operations which netted
them more than $1,000 in the past
Is months.
Members who refused to steal
or otherwise obey the commands
of the leaders were flogged with
leather whips, some of the young
sters told the officers. The backs
and legs of some of the boys Show
ed signs of recent whippings.
The detectives who uncovered
the young gangsters, Chet Sher"

in a court test. Similar provisions
in other laws already have been
ruled out, he added. Under the
state act, the district could force
recalcitrant bondholders to enter
into a refunding agreement if two
thirds of the bondholders agreed
to it.
Mason explained his objection
to present refunding plans on the
basis that bonds issued years ago
under the irrigation district act
were subject to the law as it then
existed, and are still bound by
that law; whereas any refunding
bonds issued now would be subject
to numerous amendments and new
provisions which entirely change
the status of the bonds. The bond
holder is entitled to consideration
under the agreement he originally
entered into, Mason contended.
Financial difficulties of the dis
trlcC mere nave peen graVely eXag-
gerated in relation to the bright
future of the district, Mason said,
especially in view of the All Amer
lean canal development.
II would not for the world do
anything to jeopardize the future
Of the district" Mason said. II am
not a politician, and perhaps
don't understand politics fully, but
I have always worked for what I
considered the best interests OF
