Our Own Lost Colony
PHILADELPHIA Record

From Puerto Rico rather than Spain, so we sls-
pect comes the that General Franco will make
demands upon the United states for SPANS lost
colony in the Caribbean.
Whatever may be said of General Franco he is
certainly not silly and such a demand" would bring
only holse-laughs throughout the chanceeries Of
Europe no less than in Washington, d c.
Uncle Sam is not likely to give up the island to
anyone let alone Spainif only for strategic reasons
Not when we are beginning construction of a
s24 100000 naval base there.
Why then. do we say the rumor probably comes
from Puerto Rico?
Because the Puerto Ricans are just about as I'M
happy under the rule of the U. S A. any subject
people anywhere When we look elsewhere to find
ruthlessness we may well look to ourselves-to find
careessness
We have been stupidity careless of our response
bites in Puerto Rico We have turned aside the
opportunity to win the islanders to us. We are as a
nation rich enough to do something about Puerto
Rico to relieve the economic plight Of the people and
to make the colony much source of pride to us
as Bermuda is to the United Kingdom
Instead, permitted the unbridled exploitation
of the island an economic subjugation of the people
spain. And today treat the Puerto Rcans
not as Americans-but foreigners subject to our
rule
1t may not be too late to make amends. If any
thing we should be shamed into a decent policy by
the implications of this very rumorthat Puerto Rico
would prefer to return to Spain rather than retain
her present status that any change no matter what

OF POULTRY
COOKIN ARE GIVEN

Using a moderate temperature
is the secret to successful poul-
try cooking, says Miss Bessie E.
McClelland, extension nutrition
specialist at Montana State
college.
High temperatures for very
long shrink and tougher pro-

are the ways to cook young
birds. BY these methods no ex-
ira steam forms to force out
meat juices. A cover is not need
ed on the pan and any steam
that does form can go off into
the air. It is a good practice,
she said, to add fat to young
birds during cooking. Without
it., most birds, except ducks and
geese, are likely to dry out.
The favorit way of cooking
and older bird is stewing. The
long, slow cooking with lid on
the pan and added water helps
to soften the tough connective
tissues. Naturally, Miss McClel-
land said, some of the good
chicken flavor gets away from
the meat this way, but it goes
to make the good broth that is
the basis of popular chicken
gravy.
The nutritionist also reminds
homemakerS that certain chic
ken dishes spoil easlly-special-
ly on warm summer days. For
this reason cooked chicken or
broth that is not to be eaten
right away should be put in the
refrigerator Immediately.

CONTROL OF DANDELIONS
WITH KEROSENE EXPLAINED

In Montana, where bluegrass
and clover lawns are adapted,
the city home owner has a
continuous problem in trying to
control or eradicate dandelions.
The dandelion has a deep per
ennial tap root that adaptS it.
self to growth in closely moved
lawns. One of the most COM
mon and only slightly success
full methods of controlling dan
delions is to remove the rosette
of leaves and part of the root
with a sharp knife or some
other tool made for the purpose.
Another method that has not
proven effective at the Mon
tana Agricultural Experiment
station is to spray the dande-
lions with iron Sulfate.
The Kerosene Treatment
The Agronomy Department
began an experiment with kero-
sene to control dandelions in
1896. The results have been
quite promising for the three
years experimental work has
been conducted. Several exper-
mental plats have been treated
using water white or straight
kerosene at the rates of l, l IA,
and l IL gallons per square rod
of area. Our results indicate
that l 1-2 gallons of kerosene
per square rod of area or 24O
gallons per acre give best re-
suits under the climatic and
soil conditions that prevail in
the Gallatin valley. Dandelion
kills of 80 to IS per cent have
been obtained. In 1887 a heavy
snow came soon after treating
the dandelion infested plats and
in 1888 these plats had in ad-
dition to the dandelion about
Is to so per cent of the blue
grass killed. No killing of grass
was observed for the other two
years the plats were treated.
Because of the danger of early
snow it is suggested that in
Montana the kerosene be ap-
piled between the 18th and 30th
of September.
Kerosene should not be used
during hot weather because it
is volatile and is less effective
than when applied during cool
weather.
Kind of Kerosene
In the work at this station
water white kerosene has been
specified when purchasing a
supply for experimental pur-
poses. This would indicate the
kerosene should be clear and

CORN
ACCORDING TO USE

The use to which a corn crop
is to be put will largely de-
termine when it should be har-
vested, says Ralph D. Mercer,
extension agronomist at Mon
tana State college.
Corn to be used for silage
should be harvested when is is
nearly all dented. However, the
condition of the corn, lateneSs
of the season and other factors
will have an effect upon the
time the corr is put in the silo.
Mercer adds that the corn plant
should contain enough moisture
to pickle" itself without adding
more water.
If the corn is to be fed in
the bundle then it should be
stacked and when stacked prop
erly it will keep indefinitely,
Mercer said. If the corn is to
be air dried in the shock, it
should be stacked in long mar
row hicks not over 8 or 10 feet
high. Corn containing excessive
1llOLoUu1C az SGoNh411S 49,
should have a layer Of straw
between each layer of corn.
This will absorb the moisture
and improve ventilation.
When the corn is to be fed in
the ear the usual practice is to
let it mature in the field and
husk it from the standing stalk.
Corn that is to be threshed
should be cut and shocked wn1le
the forage is still green.
Hogging or pasturing with
livestock should be begin when
the corn is in the late dough
stage. Harvesting small sections
of the field at a time will in
sure better utilization and while
this requires fencing, it is well
worth it, Mercer said. Regard
less of the method of harvest
ing used, the grower should aim
to make complete utilization Of
the entire corn plant.

free of impurities that may give
it a yellow color. According to
W. E. LOOMS of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station,
straight-run kerosene with a
boiling point range of 100 to $50
degrees centigrade and an un-
saturated hydrocarbon content
of not over four per cent has
been effective in bluegrass
lawns. He also reports that ap-
plicat!ons of over 800 gallons of
kerosene per acre or the use Of
furnace and tractor distillates
will kill the bluegrass as well as
dandelions. If in doubt about
the quality of kerosene avail
able, try some on a small area
before spraying the entire lawn.
Method of Applying
The kerosene is applied as
purchased and is not diluted,
using any type of hand or power
Sprayer. It is important that it
be applied uniformly and at the
proper rate over the area to be
treated. When treating lawns it
may be advisable to mark out
square rod areas and then apply
the exact amount of kerosene
to each square rod.
FOllOw-up Treatments
Observations indicate that it
may be necessary to treat the
infested areas two years in sue
cession because OF the many
dandelion seedlings that start
the following spring from seed
lying on the surface of the
ground. The second treatment
will also kill any old plants
missed when the first applica-
ton of kerosene was made.
The lawn may require some
type of fertilizer the year fol-
lowing the application of kero-
sene to increase the growth OF
grass and thus enable it to sat-
isfactorily compete with new
dandelion seedlings. One Oh
two applications of ammonium
sulfate at the rate of 100 tc
200 pounds per acre should help
to increase the growth of the
bluegrass and thus produce q
heavy sod. Where soils are de-
ficient in phosphorus, this fer
tilizer may be added as treble
superphosphate at the rate OF
so to 100 pounds per acre. One
application of phosphorus
should be ample in reestablish-
ing a good sod. Special care
such as fertilizing, proper now
ing and watering of the lawn
after the kerosene treatment
may reduce the possibility Of
an early reinfestation of dan
deliOnS.
