FARMERS KILL 1198
GRANGE ASKS SENATE TO
STAND FOR DEBENTURE
In an open letter addressed to the
United States Senate on February
18th, the National Grange, through
its Washington representative, Fred
Brenckman, asks that body to stand
unflinchingly in favor of the export
debenture amendment to the tariff
bill.
This is in anticipation of the strug-
gle which will take place on this is-
sue between the House and Senate
when the tariff bill enters the con-
ference stage between the two
branches of Congress, probably about
DEER ON CROP RAIDS.
Pennsylvania farmers last year
reported the slaughter of 1193 deer,
claimed to have been destroying
crops. The total is the highest ever
reported and double that for 1928.
Officials of the Game Commission
in checking the reports of deer
slaughtered discovered that the ratio
of bucks to does killed by farmers
was in many instances out of pro-
portion. Officials believe that the
ratio of bucks to does in many sec-
tions is only about one to ten yet
the reports showed that farmérs
killed half as many bucks as does. the middle of March.
It also was pointed out that does | The letter points out that there is

crops.
Reports were received of deer
killed in 38 counties last year.

reported were as follows:

FREQUENT WASHING
ADDS TO CAR'S LIFE.
Get accustomed to having your
car cleaned at frequent intervals.
It would be best, of course, to have
this done each time the car comes
from the road and really requires
washing, but often owners allow
mud to accumulate. Small particles
of sand make their way to the
moving parts, especially those of
the running gear. The steering
knuckles, the drag link and steer-
ing crossrods, the universals and
brakes, etc., are parts which never
should be allowed to remain cover-
ed with dirt and mud. A good
washing may save twice as much
in repairs.

proposal, since the major acreage of
{ American farms cannot be brought
| under protective system, because the
crops produced on these lands fall in-
| to the surplus class and must be
"sold onthe world’s market at the
world’s price. Nevertheless, farmers
must pay their share of the higher
costs occasioned by the tariff.
| Following is the full text of the
letter:
| “As the time approaches to send
the tariff bill to conference, we trust
that the Senate will take an unflinch-
ing stand in favor of retaining the
Export Debenture Amendment which
has been incorporated in the bill.
There is growing recognition
throughout the country of the justice
of the debenture proposal, since the
major acreage of American farms
cannot be brought under the protec-
tive system, for the reason that the
crops produced on these lands fall in-
ito the surplus class and must be
sold in the world’s market.
“In envisaging the horrors of bring-
ing American labor into competition
with the cheap labor of other lands,
let us not overlook the plight of the
unprotected farmers of the United
States. For generations the growers
of our staple crops have been thrown
into merciless competition with the
cheapest labor in the world, while
being obliged by the action of the
Government to buy their supplies in
our highly protected market.
“From the beginning of the long
fight for farm relief, the friends of
agriculture, both in and out of Con-
gress, have declared that we must
make the tariff effective on our sur-
plus crops in order to bring equality
and real relief to the farmer. We,
therefore, wish to commend the Sen-
ate for its action in adopting the De-
benture Amendment to the tariff bill.
It is economically impossible for
agriculture to continue to pay the
higher costs occasioned by the tariff
unless it receives corresponding ben-
efits from the protective system.
“It appears to us that in the ef-
forts which have been made to give
parity to agriculture, the Senate has
pursued the only course possible to
redeem the pledges made during the
last Presidential campaign, but fur-
ther equalizing of rates is necessary
to meet the needs of the farm popu-
lation.
“In his message at the opening of
the Special Session of Congress,
President Hoover recommended only
a limited revision of the industrial
schedules, observing that it was not
as if it were setting up a new basis
of protective duties. As he well said,
i
the | this was done when the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber Bill was enacted, The indus-
trial rates contained in that measure
are admittedly the highest tariff
rates in our history. That these
rates, on the whole, are effective is
attested by the fact that lessthan 5
per cent. of the manufactured pro-
ducts consumed in this country are
imported. Nevertheless, the bill pass-
ed by the House constituted a gen-
eral upward revision of the tariff.
As it emerged from the Senate Fi-
nance Committee, it was slightly im-
proved, but the real task of revising
the measure to give agriculture
equality with industry still remained
to be worked out on the floor of the
Senate. We are aware that this was
a problem requiring time and labor.
“While the Grange desires that
adequate protection shall be given
which can be brought under the pro-
tective system, it cannot be too
strongly emphasized that the farmer
as a consumer has an equal interest
in seeing that tariff rates on com-
{ modities which he must buy are
| maintained at fair and reasonable
i levels.
| “In the framing of the tariff bill,
| organized agriculture has demandéd
| the American market for the Ameri-
| can farmer for products that can be
| domestically produced. The immense
| volume of competitive agricultural
| commodities annually imported into
| this country is sufficient evidence
| that tariff rates on these products
have been too low. Domestic pro-
ducers of oils and fats, in particular,
‘feel that they are entitled to greater
protection than is accorded them in
the pending bill. We trust the Sen-
ate will reconsider its recent action
in this connection.
'\ “By taking proper steps to give
agriculture parity under our tariff
system and to restore its purchasing
power, we shall not only be doing
justice to an oppressed and suffering
industry, but we shall thereby great-
ly strengthen our whole social, busi-
ness and industrial fabric.

‘FARM NOTES.
— Penn State's annual farmers’
field day will be expanded to a two-
day affair this year beg the
evening of June 17, Professor T. I
Mairs, chairman of the committee on
arrangements, announces.
A dairy exposition will be staged
gatherings. In addition, there will
be a complete program for those in-
terested in other phases of agricul-
ture, such as tours to experimental
orchards, seed and fertilizer plots, in-
spection of the college herds and
flocks, discussion and demonstrations
of the latest discoveries of science
and their application to practical
farm problems. As usual, a special
program will be provided for farm
home-makers.
— Pennsylvania poultrymen will ex-
hibit baby chicks in the first state-
wide show ever held in the State, at
Honesdale, April 2 and 3. More than
50 entries of baby chicks are expect-
ed.
Four classes of chicks will be ex-
hibited; White Leghorns, Rhode Is-
land Reds, Barred Plymouth Rocks,
ana miscellaneous breeds, Chicks
from state-supervised farms, breeder
farms, and hatcheries are eligible.
The show is sponsored by the Wayne
County Poultry Association, the
County Agricultural Extension Asso-
ciation, and the poultry husbandry
and poultry extension departments
of the Pennsylvania State College.
Professor H, C. Krandel and John
Vandervort, in charge of these de-
partments, will judge the exhibits.
__ Students in farm machinery
courses at the Pennsylvania State
College will devote two days to in-
tensive work and study with farm
implements and equipment, March 25
and 26, according to Professor R. U.
Blasingame, head of the farm ma-
chinery department.
Preceding the two-day program for
the students a meeting featuring the
part modern machinery plays in ef-
ficient agriculture will be held on the
evening of March 24. Dean R. L.
Watts, of the School of Agriculture,
and David Darrah, advertising man-
ager for a large implement concern,
Chicago, will be speakers. Farmers
interested in inspecting the latest of
machinery are invited to attend both
events, Professor Blasingame an-
nounces.
—Crawford county beekeepers are
offering prizes for the best essays on
the uses of honey to pupils of the
high schools and vocational schools
of the county, according to E.J. An-
derson, extension apiarist of the
Pennsylvania State College.
— Planning for exhibits at the
State Farm Products Show in Har-
risburg next winter, maple syrup
producers are saving three or four
gallons of their best syrup this
spring. Exhibits at the last show
came from Somerset, Crawford, Erie,
and Pike counties.
—_The amount of each vegetable
to plant in the home garden depends
upon family preferences as well as
soil productivity. About one-half of |:
the entire garden area on a farm us-
ually is devoted to such crops as
sweet corn, potatoes, dry beans, and
peas.
+ —Dairymen face a period of read-
justment. According to the 1930 agri-
cultural outlook report, an annual in-
crease of about one per cent. in milk
cow numbers is necessary to meet
consumption demands. In 1929 the
number increased three per cent. and
there are six per cent. more heifers
than a year ago.
— Freezes last November may have
severely injured the seed corn saved
for planting this year. Testing is one
way of taking out insurance for a
good crop. Few farmers can afford
to take the risk of planting seed that
will not grow.
—Be sure to rake off the mulch on
shrubbery borders and flower beds
before active growth starts. If the
covering is left on too long it will
soften the plants. It is better tore-
move it on a cloudy day.
-_Even though pleasant weather is
approaching do not reduce too sud- '
denly the amount of scratch grain
fed to the flock each day, poultry
specialists of the Pennsylvania State
College remind.
—Sell your feedstuffs to your own
live stock and cut out the middle-
man's profits. : |
—It is a pretty well settled fact
that it doesn’t pay to grind corn for
fattening steers.
—Ames has demonstrated several
times that grinding corn for steers
does not pay.
—_Hulled oats make an excellent
feed for hogs, more valuable pound
for pound than corn,
Home butchering gives the fam-
ily a meat suply that is much cheap-
er than that purchased each day from
the meat market.
—Where cattle and hogs run to-
gether in a pasture or barnyard and
it is known that the hogs have tu-
perculosis it is almost positive evi-
derice that the cattle have the dis-
ease also. :
The education of the foal should
' not be postponed until it is desired
to “break” him as a three-year-old.
The foal needs to be taught obedi-
ence from the start and not allowed
to become willful or headstrong.
Break to use of the halter early; be
kind and patient.
—Clean, healthy, carefully fed
cows, smalltop milking pails, steriliz-
ed dairy. utensils, and prompt cooling
and cold storage, will do much to-
| ward preventing sour and badly flav-
| ored milk and other dairy products.
