1t came too late to influnece the
farm bill one way or the other, but
a telegram that a doctor in Iowa
sent one of the Iowa Senators
brought considerable laughter In
the Senate cloak rooms last week.
Addressed to Senator Gillette, 1t
reads: Haven't read farm control
law in it's entirely, but we can't
help wondering if farmer is allott-
ed one calf and his cow has twins,
whether law specifies that the Of

After showing the telegram to

Gillette wired back: 1.-THE proper
course would be to shoot the farm

so Years With S. P.
Celebrated by Dyer

Fifty years ago this month, a
husky youth left farm near Col
fax, California, to 90 to work on a
railroad section gang.
Today, as vice president of the
Southern Pacific Company, in
charge of operations, he oversees
one of the greatest railroad en-
pires in the United States.
He is Joseph H. Dyer. who at the
age of Sc celebrated a half century
of service with Southern Pacific
by personally directing the army
of workmen engaged in restoring
the company's flood damaged lines
in Southern California.
The so years, which took Joe"
Dyer to the top by sheer push In
stead of pull. have not changed
the man. He Is still railroader
to the very core OF his bulky frame
and he thinks first in terms OF get
ting a job well done. That's why
instead of cutting a cake, he and
1000 men were cutting their way
through the Southern California
storm debris on his birthday
March Is.
Result: Southern Pacific's Coast
lines was opened in two days; the
line east, badly hit, was repaired
In five days, and service on the
San Joaquin Valley line. where IL
bridges washed away. was restored
in IL days.
Today 1t Is the boast Of his as
sociates Oyer doesn't boast) that
he could drive a spike with the
youngest Of his employees. And II
looks as though he will be able tc
do 80 for many years to come.

II. D. A. News Notes
BY ALBERTA HARRIS

"Fireproofing articles around the
house should interest every house
holder" says Mrs. Margaret Wat
son. extension specialist in cloth
ing at the University of Arizona,
because fires take more than 3,-
500 lives in farm homes each year.
Mrs. Watson points out that 1t
is possible to fireproof curtains,
drapes, children's clothing, rugs,
and other inflammable fabrics.
SILK and wool do not burn as readi-
" as cotton, so it is not as import
ant to fireproof them.
Fireproofing treatments are easy
to apply, require no equipment not
found in the ordinary home, and
use materials which are easily OBJ
tanned and are inexpensive. All
treatments consist: Of dissolving
the fireproofing substance in water
and saturating the fabric. II the
fabric cannot be washed, the solu-
ton may be sprayed on. The sub
stance does not harm the fabrics;
in fact, it prevents the absorption
of gases which result from the
burning of coal and gas and 30
makes the fabric wear longer, Mrs.
Watson says.
Fireproofing does not mean that
the article would be disable after
being exposed to burning, but It
does prevent the spread OF flames
and so reduces the fire hazard. A
few of the articles which should be
tireproofed are ironing board
covers; cloth pot filters; draperies
or couch covers which are near a
stove or fireplace; and children's
clothing.
Information on methods and So
lutions may be obtained from Mrs,
Watson at Tucson, and the U. g.
Department Of Agriculture has just
issued a bulletin which gives de-
finite information about processes
to use.
