Stock Law OF
East Snagged
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 1.-THE Boswood
bill, which would permit stock to
roam at large on the "banks" down
in Currituck, eating up the erosion
barriers faster than the U. S. Park
Service folks, with CCC aid, can
build them struck a snag in the Sen
ate yesterday after its final enact
ment seemed certain.
It got as far as the calendar, with
a favorable report, before Dare's
Bradford Fearing caught up with it,
and moved that it be taken off and
referred to the committee on conser-
vation and development.
It's certain to die there unless it is
so amended that it will not seriously
interfere with erosion control work.
When the bill was introduced in
the House by Gideon Boswood, Fed
eral authorities in charge of the eros
ion work on the "banks" served
notice they would quit completely, if
it should ever became law. They
pointed out that to allow the stock
to roam at large would be absolute
ly fatal to their work.
It was also pointed out that weak
0nln2 OIL IIl0 SCOCh laws Ill IIlS
banks sections would have seri-
GUS effect on prospects of establish
ing the contemplated huge Seashore
National Park, which is likewise
quite dependent on success of eros
ion work.
Reference of the stock bill to the
c and D committee gives that body
two highly-controversial BosWooc
bills to consider. The other has to dc
with game control in Currituck. I'm
der Boswood proposal control o.
game regulation would be taken con
pletely away from the state anc
lodged in a "Currituck Game Com
mission" which would be empowered
to charge any price it chose for Ii
cense to hunt waterfowl.

sponse to commitments he made t.

primary campaign last year agains

Cogburn Wins
Monopoly War
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, March 18.-Haywood's S
persistent Senator Chester Cogburn
has justified the old exnortation
'Try, try, again." He has finally
succeeded in defeating bill which
in his opinion would set up a mono
poly through the means of govern
mental regulation. He's been try
ing that ever since the current SeS-
sion convened, but yesterday was
his first victory against at least a
dozen defeats
This time it wasn't a bill to create
commission to regulate something
or other, it was a bill to empower
municipalities to regulate and con-
troll the operation of ''for-hire" pas
Senger motor vehicles, taXis, in short.
The measure would have permit
ted municipalities to ban all taxis
from its streets unless and until
they had secured a certificate of con
venience and necessity.
This feature of the bill, Senator
Cogburn contended, was in fact au-
thority for municipal governing bod
les to grant monopolistic privileges
to one9 favored taxi line in the city
He suggested this might be done in
return for the support of taxi driv-
ers in elections, and the like.
Senator Cogburn made the first
move against the bill when it came
up for second reading. He sought to
exempt the three counties of his
district = Pennsylvania, Haywood
and Jackson-from its provisions.
An Indifferent Senate promptly vot-
ed down his effort, whereupon he
objected to second reading and the
gill was to be carried over, ac-
cording to ruling of the Lieutenant
Governor.
But the Cogburn opposition evil
dently started some others to look
ing into the matter After the rest
Of the calendar had been disposed
Of, the Haywood law maker with
drew his objection after conference
With number of leaders.
The roll was called. Only five
voted for, thirty against the bill.
Score one for persistence.

All this totals to 80 landings of
pailful of water, and although on
ly IA pailfuls of water were actually
used, the frequent handling was
equivalent to carrying III gallons.
Taking the weight of a gallon of
water as 8 and 1-3 pounds, this
meant carrying about 1000 pounds
of water.
Of course this was only one task
involving the lifting of heavy pals

therefore, any reason for farm

system to relieve the housewife of
all this drudgery?" the engineer
asked.
Question: Should any treatment
be given sweet potato plants before
transplanting?
Answer: Where soils are infected
with stem rot or wilt organism, the
stem and roots of the plants should
be dipped in a 20-2O-5O Bordeaux
mixture or busted with a mixture
composed of Is percent monohydrat-
ed copper sulphate and IS percent
lime just before planting. The scurf
infected roots and stems should have
a thorough coating of sulphur i'm
mediately before transplanting. All
treated plants should be set in moist
but not water logged soil.
Question: How can 1 prevent lice
and mites from infesting my poultry
flock?
Answer: The most effective pre-.
vention is to thoroughly clean and
disinfect the poultry house. Crude
petroleum, commercial carbolineum,
coal tar stock dips, and combina-
ton of equal parts Of spent motor
oil and kerosene are good for this
work. Treatments for control of the
different kinds of mites are given

mon Parasites of Poultry, and copies

Slowly but surely, the British

OPPOSITION
T0C0LE Bill

Returning Montana representa-

Institute meeting this week reported
that the Institute voted unanimously
to oppose the Cole oil control bill,
now before congress, and likewise
voted against cut in the excise tax
on oil imported from Venezuela.
Many Independent producers were
surprised by this action, believing
that the powerful groups interested
in control of the American industry
through imports of cheap South
American oil would prevent any such
action. The meeting had a record
registration of 312S-largest Of the
20 annual meetings of APP.
The meeting passed a vigorous
protest against the Cole bill which,
the resolution said, would mean
transfer to a subordinate Bureau
of Interior Department control to

ing and marketing, thus duplicating
