Here is a little advice to an unemployed, disabled veteran who wrote
to Sen. Joseph F. Guffey, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, whose "coal indus-
try NRA” bill which bore his name has been declared unconstitutional by
the United States Supreme Court. The vet wanted a WPA job. The reply,
on stationery of the United States senate and signed by Guffey’s secre-
tary, tells the needy veteran to get the blessing of the local Democratic
politicians If he wants federal work relief. (Reproduced by permission

Two goat dipping demonstratioss
supervised by O. G. Babcock, En-
tomologist at the Sonora Experi-
ment Station, were conducted in
the county last week.
One demonstration was on the
Roland Gold Ranch at Willow City
and one on the Felix Fuhrmann
Ranch at Honey Creek.
The goats were dipped in an es-
pecially prepared sulphur dip and
each goat held in the dip for one-
half minute.
The goats will be dipped again
in eleven days to kill any lice that
may hatch after the first dipping

National Debt Skyrockets
Washington.—The United States

Roosevelt was inaugurated March

Washington.—Rumblings of indig-
nation against Postmaster-General
James A. Farley’s slur against the
prairie states in a speech made at
Grand Rapids, Mich., came to a
head in an outburst on the floor of
the house of representatives by
Dewey Short of Missouri. Farley
had predicted that the Republican
nominee in the coming election
would be the governor of “a typical
prairie state” whose experience as
such scarcely fitted him for the
White House.
“I was amazed to read that state-
ment,” declared Short. "It is ab-
solutely inexcusable in any member
of the cabinet and chairman of his
party. I want it understood that
I am not advocating the candidacy
of any person. There are many fit
candidates in the Republican party.
But I resent the slur and slander
by the postmaster general passed
not only upon the citizens of Kan-
sas, but upon the citizens of Mis

Spraying
June ripening varieties of peach-
es should be sprayed now with
lime sulphur July ripening peaches
should be sprayed now and early
in July. Make the spray as follows:
When it is not possible to obtain
stone lime, 8 pounds of sulphur
may be mixed with 8 pounds of hy-
drated lime, and this material
placed in a barrel and covered with
5 gallons of boiling water. If lime
and sulphur have not dissolved,
heat until mixture becomes an
orange color. Stir constantly for 10
minutes and dilute with enough
water to make 50 gallons of liquid.
The spray should be strained into
the spray tank to eliminate undis-
solved particles stopping up the
nozzle.

Chicago. — Threatened with
the establishment of a radical
government—"a sort of New
Deal on the American pattern”
—France is experiencing a wave
of public fear that is described
by Howard Wood, prominent
economic writer, as similar to the
financial panic which swept the
United States between the election
of the New Deal in November, 1932,
and the date of the inauguration in
March, 1933.
“In France,” Mr. Wood reports,
“the ‘little fellows’ are trying to
protect their savings by hoarding.
Runs on the banks have reduced
deposits. Capital is leaving France
as fast as there are ships available
to carry gold. Disclosure of plans
to ‘soak the thrifty’ and schemes
for vast political expenditures have
intensified the scramble.
“Similarly in the United States,”
Mr. Wood adds, “the panic did not
begin until the interval between
the election of the New Deal and
the date of its taking office, and
culminated in the nation-wide bank
moratorium of March, 1933.”
Observers of business and indus-
trial conditions have already estab-
lished the fact that the low point
of the depression was passed dur-
ing the summer of 1932, and the up-
ward climb to prosperity was al-
ready under way in the fall of the
year. Fears that arose from the
proposals of New Dealers brought
on the panic.

Washington.—Now one of the
New Deal’s federal bureaus is
going to tell you how much gin
to put into a martini or how
much “sing” goes into a "Singa-
pore Sling.” Alcohol Control Ad-
ministrator W. S. Alexander has
called in the nation’s outstand-
ing experts on the art of mix-
ing cocktails to determine for
him the proper standard of con-
tents for various highballs, fizzes
and other mixed drinks. The re-
sulting testimony will be pub-
lished in a sort of federal “bar-
tender’s guide,” to sell for five
cents.
Maybe the experts will tell the
bureaucrats what to do for a
headache after November 3.

Farmers Can’t Get Help;
WPA Jobs Lure Hands
Springfield, Ill.—From all over
Illinois directors of the Illinois Ag-
ricultural association are receiving
complaints that farmers cannot ob-
tain sufficient help this spring be-
cause the men they customarily
hire now work for the WPA and
prefer the easy work and good pay
to the more rigorous tasks of farm-
ing.
Farmers in past years have been
able to get skilled help for $25 or
$30 a month and keep, according to
the association. “This year farm
hands in many cases refuse to take
jobs on the farm and frankly say
that they would rather work for the
WPA three or four days a week,”
says an IAA statement. “They say
that while the farm wages with
board give them more money than
the $54 a month WPA wage, they
prefer to work less and take less
pay.”
A survey by a Rockford newspa-
per showed a need for 1,000 farm
hands in Winnebago, Boone and
Ogle counties. L. W. Braham, Will
county farm adviser, reported many
appeals from farmers for help.
“The farmers resent the idea that
they are unable to get help when
there are so many men on relief,”
said Braham. “These farmers say
the relief situation >has reached
the point where they must compete
with the federal government.”
Similar complaints were heard in
Kankakee, Cook, De Kalb, Du Page,
La Salle, Vermillion, Champaign,
Edgar and Douglas counties. Of
recent weeks shortage of help has
been reported in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Kansas and other
states, because hands preferred to
work for the federal government
and let the taxpayer foot the bills.
per actetate to 50 gals. water with
2 oz. of gelatine for a sticker. Add
11% lbs. of lead arsenate for con-
troling leaf folders.
Avoid Loss of Peaches
Fertilizing the heavily loaded
peach and plum trees with quickly
available nitrogenous fertilizers
will decrease the amount of “June ।
drop” or shedding. About 1 lb. per
tree, scattered over the surface of
the ground and hoed or plowed in,
is the right amount.
Budding Hints
You will find the use of paraffin
cloth strips 14 inch wide and 12-16
inches long very helpful in patch
budding. Domestic cloth is dipped
in hot paraffin (not boiling hot)
and saturated. Make a convenient
roll of the cloth so that strips
12-16 inches in length can be torn
off The cloth strips can be torn
off with which to tie the buds.
Cloth strips do not cut into the
bark, and will enable the budder to
increase his speed considerably.
For budding peaches, plums, and
other fruits where T budding is
employed, rubber bands for tying-
in the buds are preferable. Rubber
bands rot off in 10-12 days, making
it unnecessary to cut the bands.

Pruning
Now is the proper time to prune
and shape fruit trees set out last
winter. If the branches have not
come out uniformly, select the best
shoot of this season’s growth and
cut off the entire top above the
shoot. The remaining shoot of cur-
rent season’s growth will send out
side branches all the same length
to make a perfect top.
Berry Pruning
As soon as the crop is harvested
from the dewberries and black-
berries, cut off all old growth
leaving the new sprout growth
that has come out from the ground
line this season. If the new sprouts
are too thick, thin to 3 to 5 per
plant.
Setting Strawberries
During this season the runner-
plants may be taken from the mo-
ther strawberry plant and set out
in the rows spacing them 12 inches
apart. The plants will have ample
time to become established before
the dry weather begins and during
the cool fall season will develop

the strawberries are set out.
Watch the Grapes
This is a first class season for
black rot on grapes. To protect the
crop against this disease, spray
with Bordeaux mixture, 4-4-50
strength, every three weeks. As
harvest season approaches, copper
acetate spray should be substituted
for Bordeaux as Bordeaux spray
will leave spray spots over the
surface of the bunches and there-
fore should not be used before the
harvesting season. Use 2 lbs. cop-

Canadian Farm Exports
to U. S. Rise Sharply
Ottawa, Ont.—As a result of
President Roosevelt’s trade agree-
ment with Canada, Canadian ex-
ports to the United States have
shown marked increases during the
first four months of 1936, ac-
cording to the report of the depart-
ment of trade and commerce. Some
of the increases were as high as
300. per cent, heaviest gains being
made in agricultural products and
lumber.
The number of horses shipped to
the United States rose to 8,700,
compared with 1,600 during the cor-
responding period a year ago. The
export value of swine increased
from $3,000 to $390,000 and cattle
exports increased $1,400,000. Cheese
exported to the United States rose
from $21,000 to $407,000 and ex-
ports of patent leather increased
$37,000.
Advances in the export of lum-
ber were marked, soft wood lum-
ber increasing from $1,642,000 to
$3,227,000. Hard wood exports showed
an increase of almost 100 per cent
to $307,000, and square shingles in-
creased to $1,510,000.
