Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: What is the best
fertilizer to use on newly plant
ed fruit trees?
ANSWER: One-half pound of
nitrate of soda or its equivalent
should be used on apple and nut
trees the first year and one-quart-
er pound of soda on the peach,
pear, plum, and cherry trees. If
the commercial SIS mixture is
used the application would be
two pounds for the apple and nut
trees the first year and one
pound for the peach, pear, plum,
and cherry trees. The fertilizer
can be applied at any time dur
ing the dormant season up to
within a month of blooming time.
QUESTION: How much skim
milk, clabber, or buttermilk can
be used as substitutes in the lay
ing mash?
ANSWER: This depends upon
the amount of available on the
arm. If three gallons are avail
able each day, this amount may
be used as a substitute for all
the dried milk products, one-half
the fish meal, and one-half the
meat meal recommended in the
mash required for 100 hens. One
gallon may be used in place of
the dried milk products each day
for 100 hens. The success of these

MOlasses-Crass
Silage Used On
Mountain Farm
Mitchell Dairyman Believes
This Silage Has Advantage
Over Corn Silage.

A possible solution to one of
the major problems of the South
eastern dairy farmers is reported
by J. c. Lynn, farm agent OF the
State College Extension Service
in Mitchell county. Lynn has CO.
operated with S. T. Henry, oper-
ator of small commercial dairy
in the mountainous section OF
Mitchell county, to conduct an
experiment in preserving grasses
and legumes as ensilage.
Mr.. Henry cut the grasses and
legumes in June and late August
and filled a 7O-ton upright stave
silo with an ensilage made from
the grasses and legumes, mixed
with molasses. Lynn reports it is
keeping well especially where
the grasses and legumes were en-
SLED before they wilted, and that
the cows are eating it with un-
usual appetites.
Milk flow has been remarkably
well maintained and the herd has
kept in excellent condition, the
farm agent says. Next season
mr.. Henry intends to do consid-
cradle experimental work with
.herd, feeding some cows solely
on grass silage and concentrates,
ether on hay and concentrates.
and some on all three. He be-
lieves that under his conditions
molasses- grass silage has many
advantages over corn silage, and
that it may be possible to even
tually substitute molasses-grass
silage entirely for dry hay.
Dairy farmers who try to grow
feed or their herds on farms
where the land is steep, the rain
fall heavy, and the soil light, and
subject to severe erosion, have
serious problems. Row crops do
not produce satisfactorily and
heavily rainfall usually causes the
making of hay to be precarious,
matters.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER Waterbury Democrat Washington
 CnrreSnAndenf

Washington, July 5--The political situation in his home state of New York promises to leave President Roosevelt with at least a partial headache-perhaps worse.
 The one bright ray of sunshine for the White House there is the fact that the mix-up resulting from the death of Senator Royal s. Cope land has brought Jim Farley bacl, to a more cordial relationship with Roosevelt and that the two men are working together to exert New Deal control over New York's Dem ocratic party.
 Although no one yet knows al, the answers to the furious trading efforts now progressing i'll New York. Gov. Herbert Lehman ia generally expected to achieve his ambition for the Democratic nom- ination to succeed Copeland.
 Roosevelt would rather not have
 Lehman in the Senate, consider
 ing him hostile and somewhat
 conservative of late. But efforts
 arc being made to force Lehman to support a New Deal choice for
 the gubernatorial nomination who
 would run on the Democratic
 ticket with Lehman and Senator
 Robert F. Wagner.
 Congressman James M. Mead oi Buffalo looks like an increasingly good bet for that nomination, al- though some New Dealers are stil working for Solicitor General Rob. ert H. Jackson, believing he would be a stronger candidate agains; District Attorney Tom Dewey, the racket buster, in case Dewey be- came the Republican nominee. Mead is Catholic-most politicians agree the ticket needs one" and oll friendly terms with labor.
 COMPLICATIONS
 A-PLENTY
 Roosevelt and Farley hold the theory that Dewey will be drafted and Dewey is alleged to have whis- pered weeks ago that he would &C., cept the BOP. nomination tc run against anyone but Wagner ol Lehman. (Wagner refuses to ruu for governor, but Roosevelt might conceivably be able to draft hi,r in an emergencyD

elected and owed t te voters Co
 stay on the job. Dewey was elected to office last November for
 the first time.
 A Democratic governor hostile to Roosevelt would put Q bad crimp in P. D. R.'s hopes of liberalizing the party and dominating its l940 rla- tional convention.
 ABOUT
 JOE MARTIN
 Congressman Joseph W. Martin of Massachusetts, who has been aS- sistant Houe minority leader under Bert Shell and now is likely to succeed Shell as Republican leader, is a short, stocky. energetic, hard- headed, open faced conservative Yankee with little of the spectac- ular about him.
 The Republican party always has been able to depend on him for shrewd, hard work, however, and he is as popular as any G. o. P. mem- Der of the House. He is Joe" to all and lives in a bachelor apart ment at one of the capitals better hotels.
 He was born one of eight chil- dren of machinist in North At- tleboro. Mass, grew up to be a reporter and finally publisher of small newspaper. He served six years in a Massachusetts legisla- ture, rose rapidly in organization politics and has been in Congress since 1925. He is chairman of the Republican congressional campaign committee and was eastern Repub- lican presidential campaign manager in 1886, when he was reelected by 10000 even though Roosevelt car- ried his district.
 The WPA workers all voted for me, but l couldn't get 'em to vote against Roosevelt" he explained.
 Although he was confident of a Landon victory that year, his high est prediction on Republican House gains in November is 75 seats. Joe has voted nearly always against New Deal legislation and is not pop ular with labor outside his own dis trict, although he came around for the final House version of the wage hour bill when 1t eliminated North South difTerentials.

 Ringing officials said that only the bill posters and band members of the Barnes show belonged to unions. Spokesmen for the 1,6Oo Ringling workers who rejected the wage cut had made no comment on the proceedings. Ringing roust- abouts loaded the show for Redfeld
