Around The Bend
Was A Goose

LIVINGTON, Mont. -(P)- Boyd
Engles reports he was fishing the
Gallatin River when he filipped a
black gnat fly around bend hop
ing for a blindstrike from a trout.
He got the strik-from a Can
adian goose which grabbed the
lure. Flew when it saw Engles but
spit out the hook before the startled
fisherman had to worry about the
technique of landing honker.

at home in his world. Now is the
time to talk to him because with
his limited range of vision 1t is
very easy to get his eyes fixed on
your face. He will learn now, sub
consciously, that watching a per-
sons face is somehow connected
with the answer to many of his
needs. And if you talk to him about
things that are right there in front
of him, or within reach Of his
hands, he will learn to associate
those things with the movements
Of your mouth.
For example, say the authors,
Touch his nose gently and say,
That's your nose. It's a pretty
little nose Take his hand and
touch his nose with it and tell him
again, That's your nose Put his
hand on your nose and say, That's
mothers nose Make it playful
and gentle; make 1t fun"

Dingo Scalps
Bring Plenty

SYDNEY, Australia up -
When a dingo wild dog) hunter
went to Kalgoorlie, West Australia
to collect his scalp bonuses last
month he got a check worth about
$500 dollars. Not bad return for
a fortnightss work.
The hunter was Clarence Carlisle
who brought in scalps of 200 dogs
and IS foxes, and beaks of s eagles.
These creatures are pests in Aust
ralia, with prices on their heads in
many parts of the country.
Part of Carlisle's hunting routine
Is to chase dingoes over trackless
fiat desert country on a motorcycle
AS a. fast ding can sprint up to 4C
miles an hour. the game has thrills
as well as money in it. You have
to be not only a trick rider, but &
crack shot.

Weed Control In Potatoes
Reported By Horficaltnrisfs

Weeds in planting OF Katahdin
potatoes at the University Farm,
Newark, were successfully con-
trollea with chemicals, up to the
early bloom stage, according to E.
NJ. Rain, assistant professor of
horticulture at the University of
Delaware. Yields In such paintings
where no cultivation was done un-
til after the bloom stage were not
as high, however, as where the po-
tatoes were cultivated and hoed
throughout the growing season.
In paintings under full cultiva-
tion, four tractor civilizations and
one hoeing the average yield was
331 bushels to the acre. Where
chemicals to control weeds were
used and there were only two cul-
tivations following the bloom per-
iod the highest yield per acre was
273 bushels to the acre.
Professor Rain concludes that
apparently potatoes this year need
ed more than two CIVILIZATIONS even

though the weeds were controlled
by chemicals to open up the soil
surface and permit more air into
the soil.
The chemicals to control the
weeds were applied two weeks af-
ter planting but before the potato
plants were up. Materials used
were a dinitro xeed killer, 2, AID,
2, 4 6, ST, sodium pentacnlorophen-
ate and TEA. The highest yield
with the chemical treatment was
with the dinitro weed killer. The
least expensive control was with
the use OF one and half pounds oi
2, AID, costing about s2.z5 an acre
for materials. The yield from this
treatment was 263 bushels per acre
68 bushels lees than where full
cultivation was practiced.
Research with chemicals for the
control of weeds in potatoes will
be continued for several years In
order to observe seasonal differ.

tack today to get speedier sailing
in Congress.
They reported that many of the
Government reform bills which
Congress tucked into pigeon

pulled out, rewritten, and handed
back to Congress in January in
toughened form.
The Citizens. Committee for the
Hoover Commissions official blue

gave this estimate of the work
done in Congress and the job
ahead:
Six major bills passed, at least
Is still pending.
About SIS Hoover recommended
tions adopted. out of 31S proposed.
Six of President Truman's mer-
ger plans now in effect; one
vetoed by Congress-; more to
come.
Savings of possibly $1,25O,OO0,-

Net achievement: About 20 per
cent of the Hoover plan now is
in effect or authorized.
Progress Called Fair"
A spokesman for the Citizens
Committee. privately organized to
promote passage of the recon-
mendations drafted last spring by
the 12-member reorganization
commission headed by former
President Hoover, rated this as
"fair to middling progress"
A more favorable estimate re-
suits when the legislation is
stacked up against efforts of the
past. The committee chairman,
: President Robert l.. johnson of
Temple University. Philadelphia,
appraised Congress work this way
