He said it was fixing scheme indirectly and would put the government into buying and sell- ing. He condemned the equal fee as a tax on some farmers for benefit of others. He asserted plan would production lower the world price to a point would result in flooding the with foreign farm product over the tariff wall. The appended an opinion by Attorney Gen eral Sargent holding the bill unconsti- tutional in numerous particulars, Whatever may be the opinion of the soundness of Mr. Coolidge’'s rea- ‘sons for vetoing the bill or of his po- litical wisdom In this respect, there is no question of his consistency anil his courage in the matter, In the cen- tral West the immediate reaction to the veto was a definite determination to put Frank O. Lowden in run- ning for the Presidential at the next national convention Democrats in tunity to win tariff reduction.

Owing to poor markmanship early all the shells fell in the French oncession, where several residences were struck.

Grape vines should be planted In early spring and on thor oughly prepared ground. The hold should be about 15 inches across and about the same depth. The plants should be set so the upper end of the old cutting, used in propagation of the vine, shall be an inch or more be. low the surface of the leveled ground.

Comprising a tract of approximate ly 100 acres of tillable land in the animal husbandry experiment farm at Jeltsville, Md., “Sheep Acres” is yielding many resalts of interest to flock owners of the United States, The name is gradually coming to mean the proving ground for problems of sheep production under intensive typical of furm sheep raising. A prac tical system of forage-crop pastures, experiments already have shown, en- ables sheep to be pastured longer and moved from field to field, thereby eon- trolling parasites more fully than when maintained under the usual per manent-pasture method. This prac tice makes It possible also to keep a farm flock on less cured feed, therehy saving exper : conditions ise and labor.
