While 1 organised labor made tremendous strides under NRA, certain elements in the ranks have favored a militant attitude a& a means of 'gaining more concessions.

It is an open secret that the new tariff bargaining program is not working as smoothly as forecast a^_jthe time tha law was passed. • ; The Department, of Agriculture is mustering its full strength in defense of the processing taxes, which have been subjected to a fire of criticisms from the consuming public. Wallace contends that the elimination of processing taxes would toe ar death blow to farm relief. Because of the de pressing effect- of the drought, the new dealers in charge of agricultural relief matters are_hopeful that President Roosevelt will Jake up the cudgels in defense of the farm adjustment plan on his return from Hawaii.

Many people have assumed that they could make direct and immediate loans from this new Federal , agency to improve their homes. On the contrary, the Federal Housing Administration has no authority to .advance money to private citizens or corporations for home modernization purposes. The F. H. A. (newest of the alphabet agencies). is literally swamped with inquiries and finds it impossible to respond. The trouble with the average citizen is that he expects t$> much from his government. It will save disappointing heartaches if Mr. Average Citizen will realize the limitations of the Federal Housing Administration. The Housing Act permitted the establishment of the Federal Saving* and Loan Insurance Corporation with power to insure the accounts of private institutes who handle mortgages. Under the Housing Act it is possible for building and lo^n associations, cooperative banks, a~nd hojnestead groups to ap£ly for recognition to the insurance funds, which is expected to loosen their purse strings in local communities. " These private loan agencies are not yet dear as to the role they play in the renovization .program. It will be^, necessary for the Housing Administration to draw up rules of procedure and define its policies before property owners may expect an easement in the flow of money to make the necessary repairs and improvements. It will require time for the government to investigate the reliability of financial institutions before it undertakes to insure mortgage loans to private citizens. A number of national mortgage associations may spring up throughout the country because the Housing Administration has the power to charter these groups teen years -old. The chief misons foi? pfreqaent changes of bulls as indicated , by'^ owners, are: Sold for beef, changed to another'breed, his calves were mostly bulls, his daughters lacked type and were poorly marked, sold for beef to avoid inbreeding, lacked-arrangements for exercise and safety," he was often neglected, became useless |s n breeder and was killed, he killed his keeper. The first, four reasons are, in part, valid; under certain circumstances they might justify the disposal Af a bull, Trofessor Hopper says. The last four causes turn upon inadequate facilities for^ housing, for controlling, and for maintaining the health of the. bull anc^a mpre serious cause. ? Professor Hopper is the author of a bulletin just issued by the New Yorlt State College Of Agriculture on "The Housing and Handling of Bulls." BT 177. In It he says that bulls respond to care and training. The author describes the bull stall, the~safety bull pen, handling the bull, trimming tli«r feet, ringing, and dehorning.

BARRETT Numerous suggestions have been made for the abolition of war.. Some 1 of these have been tried but not with success. Public opinion is at prest> nt„ aroused. with ; . n e n t h u s i a s m which argues that if we would end all war, we must strike at the direct benefits which result from it. One of these is profits. 'Take profits out of all war," seems to be . the slogan. With this Js e n t iment dominating the public mind we are- not surprised to read press dispatches as follow's: "One of the surest ways of preventing war would be to give the government the power to draft, not only men bjut wealth, industry, agriculture, and make them work^without profit." The American Legion is quoted as having declared that when men are. drafted; ailMachinery, even to the plovtr and tractor, and all farm implements everywhere in the country should be drafted also. Mr. Bernard M. Baruch, whose judgment is respected by many persons. In a rerent address, remarked: "ttewipture all profits made by all industries engaged In war supplies above a small and reasonable return on the monies invested, and that all profits which are an incentive to war must be absolutely destroyed." ~ When we remember the fabulous fortunes which riiflve been made out of the manufacture of war materials as[well as the profits created by the salXof food stuffs and bther necessities incident to war, we are Inclined to believe that "taking the profits out of war" would help to remove one of the incentives to warfar^. We have tried other schemes, wjhy not try thls one? It should be,remembered, however, that a disease is " not cured permanently, until the cause has been removed. The cause for war lies much deeper than Just money profits. That profit is a large factor goes Without question, but nations <^!b not go to war just for the purpose of increasing their national treasuries. It seems to be a serious question if war can ever be abolished through the application of a rule of practice which is wholly negr ative. Many suggestions have been of this character. Do not do this or that, remove this cause or that cause. Very good so far as they go brrt-wegatlons never get beyond $ certain point in the development of. any great object. Some commanding suggestion of a positive character seems to be needed- If the cause of war Is "Greed," why not advocate the infusion of Christianity which has never yet been honestly tried. • •IRWMT crn Nawipaoer UBIOOL Excellent Plan to Keep Calf Little Bit Hungry A calf fed three-limes daily can assimilate more food than when it Is fc<ll after it has finished drinking its milk. Milk fed to young calves should be at; about body temperature. Cool milk; should be warmed to u temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit by setting the pall In a vessel of hot water before being fed. One cannot depend upon guesswork--be sure to use a thermometer! Cold milk will almost always cause digestive troubles, resulting In scours which tend to stop the culf's growth and hinder Its getting a good start.. No one can accurately estimate with the eye the quantity of milk in a pall. Milk scales are very convenient for this purpose. Clean feeding palls are absolutely essential to successful calf raising. They should be washed after each feeding as carefully ns milk utensils and sterilized if possible. Dirty pails Invariably cause digestive troubles. All mangers and feed boxes should b« kept scrupulously clean. Plenty of "bedding, straw, corn stover or shavt Ings should be used, especially in th# winter, to insure the calves always be* lng on dry litter and not on the cold stall floor. „AlUs Helone Gould of Forest Hills Long Island, was voted the prettiest woman angler in the summer colony in the Adirondack!* near Stamford, N.
