crop, will be given thorough going
over at four-day short course which
will be held at State College January
1928
Dan M. Paul, director of agricul-
tural short courses, said the course is
designed to give growers informa-
ton on the latest developments in
growing and marketing the golden
weed.
Leading tobacco authorities have
been secured to lecture on cultural
practices, insect and disease control,
and marketing. During the last two
days of the course, farmers attending
will be given practice in grading leaf.
Many tobacco markets throughout
the State do net have Federal grading
service, hence the seller in these
warehouses is not sure he is receiv-
inc a fair price for his offerings. Les
sons in grading will tend in part to
overcome this Objectionable feature,
Paul said.
Discussions of the tobacco outlook
for 1923 and proposed leaf legislation
will occupy a prominent place on the
four-day program. In addition, the
agricultural conservation program for
this year will be discussed thoroughly
by State and Federal AAA men.
The short course will be free to all
growers and other tobacco men who
wish to attend, except for a one dol
lar registration fee, Paul said. Meals
and room will be available at small
cost at the college or nearby homes
or hotels
'Inls is the second tobacco short
course to be held at the college. Last
year the first of these meetings took
pace and was attended by large

WAR REFERENDUM

Bv CHARLES p. STEWART

Washington, Jan. 18-Supporters OF

sional primaries and on election day,
against lawmakers whose votes dit
ched the Indiana legislators resolu-
ton in so far as the present session
on Capitol Hill is concerned.
The Ludlow proposition, he it under
stood, has been the focus of a deal of
popularity interest throughout the
country.
Washington statesmen generally
agree that the volume of mail and
kilograms they have received, relative
to it, from their constituencies has
been something unprecedented. They
also agree that about 80 per cent of

Ludlow
HAS MASS APPEAL
The idea evidently has mass ap-
peal, in short. It is emotional in it's
nature, and plenty of folk are very
emotional. Politicians know it.
so, if Ludlowites use their issue to
advantage in the coming campaign, it
is quite believable that they will score
considerably by it. They show a dis
position, too, to use it for all it is
worth.
It is conceivable that quite a few
congressional seats will be changed in
this fashion, which worries incum-
bents decidedly.
