— N° GREAT effort on the part of L candidates and campaign leaders was necessary to keep the minds of the American people on politics during the week. But the ef- fort was made never- theless, loth Presi- dent Hoover and Gov- ernor Roosevelt were out again on speaking tours, and eminent men of both major parties pleaded for the votes of the elee- tors in all parts of the country. In the Middle West the chief speaker for the Demo- crats was Gov. Albert Ritchie of Maryland, one of the as- pirants for the Presidentinl nomina- tion In the Chicago convention. He debated issues and candidates with Henry Allen of the Republicans, in Chicago, and delivered other addresses there and elsewhere, and all the time he stressed the Importance of the pro- hibition issue, Governor Roosevelt In his own be- half spent eight days talking In Pitts. burgh, Indianapolis, Springfield, I, St. Louis and down through Kentucky and Tennessee to Atlanta; and then up through South and North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, to deliver the last of his major addresses in Baltl- more, President Hoover's journey was a week-end trip whose main objective was Detroit. On the way to the Michigan metropolis he made brief stops and talks at Charlestown, W, Va. at Columbus and Teledo In Ohlo, and several other places. The [P'resi- dent's aides sald he bad developed a liking for rear platform campaigning as a result of his trips to Des Moines and Cleveland. There was nothing surprising In the announcement of the La Follette or- gan in Madison, Wis, that the La Follette faction in that state would gupport Mr. Roosevelt, Rev. James IR, Cox, Catholic priest of Pitsburg withdrew as the Presidautial candi date of the Jobless party and urged all his followers to Roosevelt, This was quite within his rights, but his public statement that President Hoover “never lifted a hand or raised fa voice to relieve the suffering Ameri can people” is an example of either inexcusable mendacity or deplorable ignorance, Gov.

Schwab, interviewed In London, said he believed “the best way to better conditions is to Mr, Hoover.” NEY YORK city is In sucl tressing financial condition the bankers have refused to advance funds for the November pay roll, and told the men who are running the me- tropolis they would not save it from bankruptcy unless the budget were radically reduced. So the budget mak ers got together and sias proximately £75,000.000, the bankers sald was not nearly enough A large part of the savings planned by the beard of estimate was through the adoption of a fifty-year subway bond scheme. This, It was admitted, spelled the doom of the LH-cent fare to which New York has clung so tenaciously, It was believed a 10-cent fare would be established within a year or two, re-elect dis that hed off ap which Acting Mayor McKee tried to put In to effect wholesale salary reductions and elimination of workers in over. staffed departments, but the Tammany bloc would have none of this, They even put into the budget some of the ap propriations that had been cut out, The city must have additional funds supplied to it before November 1, as there is only 26000000 left In the treasury with which to meet the semi- monthly installment of £13.000,000 for the pay roll V HEN the British parliament opened its fall session almost the first thing it heard was the announce ment of J. H. Thomas, secretary of state for dominions, that Great Britain had broken off com mercial relations with Soviet Russia and ab rogated the trade pact with the Moscow gov. ernment in order to carry out the econom- fe policy adopted by the imperial confer. ence in Ottawa. In one article of the fagreement reached there, Great Britain and Canada agreed to prohibit the im. ports of any foreign country in which the state control of industries and commodity prices resulted in dumping abroad to the detriment of the new preferential tariff agreement of the British empire. Mr. Thomas added that both the firitish government and Qussin were still eager to increase the trade be Aweent the countries and that the Rus J. H. Thomas sians were ready to negotiate a new treaty that would not interfere with the empire's internal arrangements, The Immediate practical effect of the renunciation of the trade treaty will be to deprive British consumers of large quantities of low-priced lumber, fish, and grain. Secretary Thomas told the house also that the British negotiations with President De Valera of the Irish Free State had broken down and that De Valera contended the only permanent solution of the controversy would be the creation of a united Irish republic. EPORTS made public In Washing- ton were both good and bad. Put- ting the latter first, the treasury Is sued figures of the receipts and ex- penditures during July, August and September showing that the deficit of the first quarter of the fiscal year Is £402,000,000, a rate which if kept up would send the treasury into the red to the tune of $£1.600,000000. The new income taxes coupled with high collections on miscellaneous taxes en- acted In the new billion dollar tax bill last spring are counted on to hold this deficit down during the final months of the year. Statistics given out by the Depart- ment of Commerce showed that the export trade of the United States In September, due principally to excep- tionally large shipments of cotton, in- creased over the value for the pre vious month by a margin of $23,000, 000-—the largest monthly gain record ed so far this year, Imports likewise showed an Increase In September, as compared with Au- gust, the department stated, although it was less pronounced than the gain in export trade. During the month, it was shown, Imports Increased by S$7.000,000 to total $88000000, or the highest monthly import level since June, The United States during the month retained a favorable balance of trade amounting to £34.000000, It was the largest favorable trade margin re corded In any month of this year. Another encouraging report was that of the federal oil conservation board, composed of Secretaries Wil bur, Hurley, Adams and Chapin. It sald: “The American oil industry gives Indications of being the first basic Industry to emerge from the world depression.” The permanency of the ment in the industry, will depend, the commission declared, on whether the oil producing states con tinue the co-operation they manifested in the production agreement of 1031, and on whether the oll states’ advis ory committee develops as It should into a permanent body or lapses into the background as conditions improve. improve however, AW authorities of Chicago, assist. eld by the federal government, were still trying to figure out way to bring Samuel Insull back from Athens for trail on charges of embezzle ment and grand lar ceny.

Fol lowing the exchange It was believed Insull might be extradited. The fu- gitive appears to be well supplied with funds, and their source was explained when State's Attorney Swanson in Chi. cago learned that Samuel Insull, Jr. still has an Income of £10000 from four of the corporations that formed a main part of his father's utilities structure. He receives $25.000 salary each from Commonwealth Edison, Peo ple’s Gas, Public Service of Northern Illinois and Mildland United. The el der Insull, it will be recalled, also re ceives pensions totaling £21,000 a year, so the family is far from being poverty stricken, Insull sald he received a cablegram from an unnamed person warning him that the American authorities were plotting to have him kidnaped and re moved to a country from which he could be immediately extradited.

Y~WNU Bervice Most common timbers rot In con tact with the soll and yet these woods have many uses on the farm if they are given a preservative treatment against decay. Preservative treatments are only for those species which decay quickly, such as red oak and hard maple. With others, the value of treatment is questionable, Coal-tar creosote is the most sat Isfactory preservative from every standpoint. This material, although inflammable and poisonous to fungl which causes decay, can be handled without danger. To merely paint a fence post with the preservative, he says, will prove of almost no value. The preserva tive must be forced Into the wood. The fence post should first be cut and framed to the final dimensions before It Is treated, and all bark re moved. Moisture should be got rid of by thorough alr-seasoning.

CASE, Animal Husbandman, North Carolina #Btate College.~WNU Bervice, Growers of live stock have found by two years of experience that it pays to have some annual grazing crops to supplement the permanent pasture If the stock is to be kept In the best of condition, These supplementary grazing crops are emergency or insurance crops for the live stock man. The drought of 1030, the winter-killing of carpet grasge that following winter, the March freeze of 1932, and the ex- tended drought this summer has dem- onstrated the full value of such tem- porary grazing crops. Some of the crops which might be used to advan- tage are soybeans, sudan grass, Cherokee clover or lespedeza, Good farmers found that a definite area In these crops each year 18 nec- essary. If not needed for grazing they may be harvested in the usual way for seed or hay. The experiment station at college uses soybeans and sudan grass for grazing sheep. Twelve ewes and thelr lambs are carried on four acres from May 15 to November 15 and they make better gains than do others earried on permanent pas- ture and treated for stomach worms every two weeks, W.
