Usual Pasture Methods
Favor Horse Parasites

Parasites attacking horses and
mules are favored by the usual
methods of pasturing live stock on
farms, according to DR.. Benjamin
Schwartz of the U. S. bureau of
animal industry.
Common methods of pasturing
and the habits of horses are partic-
ularly favorable to the serious para
site roundworms or strongyles, a
group which also includes the hook
worm as parasite on humans. Par
asite attacks lead to a weakness
and poor condition and waste of
feed and may disable or kill horses
and mules if the damage is not
checked. Timely medicinal treat
ment is desirable aid.
Once an animal is attacked by
these roundworms, the natural ten
dency is for the infestation to in
crease and to spread to other horses
and mules. The eggs of these in
ternal parasites are scattered in the
manure where they hatch. They
are long-lived and persistent and
can exist for months on the moist
grasses in pastures where horses
Craze. Thus the animals. take in
parasites to renew and aggravate the
cycle of infection.
For horse-breeding establishments
where the high value of the stock
warrants the expense, Doctor
Schwartz points out the effective
ness of relatively new heat treat
ment. Under this plan the manure
is collected and placed in large
insulated boxes where the natural
heat, sometimes aided by steam
pipes, raises the manure to a tenn
perature that will kill eggs and lar
vac of the worms.

WHISKY TRADE GEAR

If this writer doesn't know some
thing about fair trade practice
codes, in all their forms and vari-
cites, it isn't from lack of opportu-
nifty.
The simplest, cleanest, fairest and
best supplemented effort of this sort
that has come to my attention is
the proposed code for the distilled
spirits industry by the executive
director of the distilled spirits in
stitute-which is the trade associa-
ton of the hard liquor boys.
So DR.. Sturges gets his beautiful
magma carta all on paper and
committee of the institute seems to
have approved it.
But Seagram and Schenley, object
ed or stalled. They were afraid that
code reciting or condemning
abuses of the 10 per cent chiseling
fringe would make the public think
that they were prevalent in the in
dustry. If that is good argument,
we know from the Ten Command
ments that everybody steals, muir
ders and commits adultery. We
should repeal our penal code for fear
some will think we are all crooks.

Hammer Mill Is Used
For Cleaning Seeds

BY slowing the speed of ham
mer mill, a grain grinder used on
farms, soil conservation service
workers have convenient tool for
cleaning the seeds of many of the
trees, shrubs, and vines used in con-
servation programs. With it they
have cleaned dry-shelled fruits such
as locust, catalpa, and rebud, and
feshy fruits such as plums, grapes,
hawthorns, apples, and berries.
To prevent injury to the seed, the
hammer mill is operated slowly,
often at only 400 revolutions min
ute. With dry fruits the mill cracks
the shells, but not the seed. The
seed can then be cleaned with a
tanning mill. With the feshy fruits,
the hammer mill smashes the pulp
and stream of water floats it
away, leaving the seed on the
screens of the mill.
The usual nursery method of sep
arating seeds from pulpy fruits has
been to ferment the fruits until the
seeds either float to the surface or
drop to the bottom of the tank. Ex-
periments show that the fermenta-
ton process often Injuries the seeds
so that they do not terminate free
ly. The hammer mill method of
cleaning is not only cheaper, but
with intelligent management of the
mill to avoid injury to the seeds, it
results in better-quality seed with 3
higher rate of termination.

FARM
STRIP CROPPING
is FARM ASSET
Steep Land Is Benefited by
Contour Paintings.
By w. d. LEE


Erosion control and improvement
of soil fertility are both accom-
plished by contour strips on steep
farm land. And, there is the third
advantage from strip cropping in
that it affords protection to terraces.
Many farmers in the erosion con-
troll demonstration areas, directed
by the soil conservation service, are
using strip-cropping to advantage.
On slopes where the fall is not
very great, it is common prac-
tice to have two strips in row crops
and a third strip in a close-grow-
ing crop, alternating in this order
all the way down the hill. But on
sleeper slopes, where the erosion
problem is greater, it is advisable
TO increase the proportion of close
growing crops by sowing down every
other strip.
The use of legumes in close grow
ing strips enables farmer to grad
ually improve the fertility of all
fields, and at the same time pro-
tect them against erosion. Some
farmers report 20 to Is per cent
increase in crop yields since they
first adopted the practice of strip
cropping.
BY retarding and spreading run
off water, the strips of close-growing
crops at intervals down the slope
keep silt out of the flow lines of
terraces and prevent them from
overlapping. This is especially no.
ticeable during heavy rains.

definite farm program, and can
didate who can convince the farm
ers that they really mean it.
A winning farm program is rela-
lively easy-a direct and simple
subsidy on domestic consumption
financed by a processing tax and
coupled with minimum of regi-
mentation.
Yes, a processing tax is sales
tax. So in greater or less degree is
every other tax. The bulk of federal
revenue is from sales taxes-appar-
ent or hidden.
Yes, consumers will kick, but
what difference does it. make to
them whether they pay higher
price for farm products engineered
by Mr.. Wallace's destructive and
artifcially created shortages of pro-
duction, gigantic stored surplus and
lost export markets, or pay the
same price part in cost or part in
tax? I have written this argument
several times and shall write it sew
eral times more, because it is both
right and important and it hasn't yet
been accepted.
After trying and failing with
every other farm scheme known to
man, the fourth New Deal thinkers
are probably aware that this is the
only practical approach of the farm
problem, but won't advocate it open
ly, not only because they did not
devise it but have opposed it in favor
Of others which promised greater
political augmentation and control.
1t therefore remains available as
a winning Republican weapon in the
corn, wheat and Bible belts, but
those great open spaces have been
fooled SO often by Republican prom
Uses of Equality for agriculture"
that the G.. o. P. would need an
automatic convincer to be sure of
selling them.
Although it isn't my business to
be nominating Republican presiden-
tial candidates, I have offered the
crown to several including Bruce
Barton, Fiorello LaGuardia and
Wendell Willkie-who used to be a
Democrat-so maybe I can risk
amounting another.
For this particular strategy the
Republicans have ready-made
candidate in Sen. Charlie McNary.
For IL years he led the farm fight
for the McNary-Haugen bill, which
would have worked for wheat at
least at the time he proposed it
even though it wouldn't work now.
1t didn't win, but that fight made
the election of Mr.. Roosevelt pos
sible, made the country conscious of
the farm problem and the farmers
conscious of Senator McNary.
He wouldn't need any selling to
agriculture. They would know that
whatever he proposed he would
fight for with bulldog tenacity. 9th
erwise, he is veteran public SER
want, charming personality and a
good speaker. He is as presentable
a candidate with other groups
as any of the rest of the boys who
think they hear the call.
Senator Taft stuck his neck out on
this problem and so far revealed his
lack of familiarity with it that even
so hating talker as Henry Wallace
could and did make him look like
an amateur. Mr.. Dewey would
have as much trouble convincing
midwestern farmers that he knows
what makes them tick as Al Smith
did. From this particular angle,
at least, Senator McNary is a nat
ural.

$3.50 HUNCH.
If President Roosevelt doesn't run
for third term, his secretary, Gen.
Edwin (tPa") Watson, is going to
be $3.50 out of pocket.
Just before his boss left on his
fishing cruise, Watson was doing his
best to entertain a group of con-
gressmen and government officials
who, because of a mixup in the APP
pointment schedule, had been wait
ing overtime to see Roosevelt. The
conversation dragged through the
weather, the war in Europe, and
finally one of the callers shot at
Watson:
General, you're close to the Pres
ident. Tell us, is he going to run
for third term?"
''Well, it's going to cost me $3.50
if he DOESN'T" beamed the genial
Watson. ''Just between us boys,
I've bet friend that amount that
the President will be nominated and
that he will accept"
You could have heard a pin drop
as the group digested this choice
bit of inside information.
"Well, General, you sure must
know something" remarked the i'm
pressed questioner.
Watson hesitated, then grinned
broadly and drawled, "Now boys,
don't get me all wrong. I haven't
any inside dope. I'm just operat-
ing on hunch." .'s'
FREE EATS.
A very popular custom that has
grown up on Capitol Hill in recent
years is, the distribution of sfree

the form of products from their
home districts.
These spreads always get a big
hand. The variety is far-fung, rang.
ing from southern fruits and western
vegetables to Michigan smelt. De-
lighted congressman and senators
pile in with gusto, carting home
what they can't eat
This session the free eating was
inaugurated by Rep. J. Hardin Pc
terson with truck load of Florida
tangerines. The next day Rep.
George johnson of West Virginia
treated with big consignment of
winesap apples.
Next spreads eagerly awaited are
Rep. John Kunkel's Pennsylvania
bologna feast" Rep. Fred Brad
ley's Michigan smelt dinner, and
Sen. John G. Townsend's early
Strawberries from his Delaware
farms.
Each of these occasions is real
treat. The press is invited and the
boys aren't bashful
Other gastronomic events on the
calendar are early Georgia peaches
from Rep. Paul Brown, pink grape
fruit from Rep. Joe Hendricks of
Florida and Rep. Milton West OF
Texas, and a repast of Wisconsin's
famed cheese from the makers.
