‘BRIGHAN-TOUN TOWNSEND | BILL PUTS 10-CENT TAX ON EACH POUND Prominent Farm Measure Was Passed With Less Than 24 Hours to Spare FOLLOWS BURNET’S RULING Tist Congress’ New Law Will Curb Use of Palm Oil for Color Purpose Washington, March 23.—(?)—Major farm and dairy organizations say agriculture will be saved $1,000,000 a day by the Brigham-Townsend bill, which places a tax of 10 cents a pound ‘on all colored oleomargarine. The bill was perhaps the biggest farm issue before the closing session of the ist congress and was won with less than 24 hours to spare. It becomes effective in June. Uncolored oleo will be taxable at one-fourth cent a pound, as heretofore. Demand for the legislation arose last November when David Burnet, commissioner of intesnal revenue, ruled that oleomargarine manufac- turers could use palm oil to color oleo yellow in the semblance of but- ter without paying the 10 cents tax required on “artificially” colored oleomargarine. Burnet held that palm oil, some- times compromising from 10 to 30 per cent of the ingredients in a pound of oleo, was a natural rather than an artificial coloring. ‘The ruling had the effect of eras- ing all the previous protection con- gress had given butter, and dairy soecialists said the resulting drop in butter prices represented a loss of $1,000,000 a day. Under the Brigham-Townsend bill oleomargarine which: looks like but- ter will be taxed 10 cents a pound regardless of how or with what it is colored. Its purpose is to narrow the competitive advantage which the more cheaply manufactured. product has over butter. Except for federal appropriations for drought and unemployment re- lief, the bill was about the only im- tent farm legislation of the ses- athe president's veto of the Muscle Shoals bill which proposed private manufacture of fertilizer and gov- ernment production of power—the latter of which might have set a pre- cedent in low cost of rural electrifica- tion—closed that measure to possible agricultural benefit. ‘And efforts to place embargoes or higher tariffs on numerous farm Froducts likewise failed. Enemies of the proposed embargo on crude oil say its failure saved American farm users of motor vehicles and equip- ment from $340,000,000 to $510,000,- 000 annually. CONSTABLES MAY HELP KEEP ORDER AT DANCE HALLS Attorney General Rules It Is Duty of Townships to Reg- ulate Dances A township board may send its con- atable to a dance hall within the township with authority to maintain order and assist the sheriff in obtain- ing evidence and arresting law viola- tors, according to Attorney General) James Morris. Mr. Morris, in a letter to Louis P. Jensen, Kenmare, clerk of Denmark, township, held that “the law provid- ing for the licensing of certain places including dance halls and places where soft drinks are sold makes it the duty of constables to enforce the law in such places.” The attorney general also held that the township board is authorized to pay the constable for such services, out of the general fund of the town- ship. Several other queries, the outgrowth of a dance hall controversy in the township, also were put by Mr. Jen- sen at the request of the board of Denmark township. “If the constable is attacked by “is there a legal’ way that the town- ship board may help to defend him?” ‘The rebullt sul under wi acros Camden, N.

BEATTIE Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture Growing a garden of vegetables for the ‘home is looked-upon generally as a means of exercise and enjoy- ment for town and city folk, but in times of. unem- ployment it may have a real eco- nomic value. In addition, the small home garden is just as profitable to the farmer. On the farm the best piece of land available should be | soil, selected for the garden. The work of preparing the land can be done BESS with horse-drawn Beattie tools and a supply of fertilizer is usually available for enriching the soll. Coal ashes, if not present in too Breat quantities, may be worked into the soll, especially if it is a heavy, clay soil. In cleaning vacant lots for’ gardening all trash should be burned or hauled away or the bricks and stones can be piled in one place and cucumber or squash vines run over them. What Soil Is Best The character of the soil is a big consideration in selecting a place on which to plant a garden. Most gar- deners prefer a rich, dark, sandy loam for earliness and big yields. However, a rich, well-drained clay Joam is often quite as satisfactory. Light sandy solls have an unde- sirable tendency to dry out during periods of drought unless they are well supplied with humus to hold the jure. Depth of soil is also important be- cause, if you want long, straight rad- ishes, carrots, parsnips and the like, you must have a good soil that is deep enough. The character of the subsoil is important. It is impossible to grow a good garden over hardpan or @ layer of rock a few inches below the surface. Requirements for Farm Garden Here are a few points to consider when choosing @ location for a farm garden: Coal ashes may be worked into the First, the garden should be on good, well-drained soil. Second, the garden should be near the house for convenience in working it and gathering the vegetables, Third, the garden should be in a protected place where it will not be winds. A southern slope with build- ings or a. hill.on the north for Pro- | tection isideal,. * Fourth, the garden should be so arranged that the land can be worked | with horse-drawn tools. Fifth, the garden should be sur- rounded by a hog-proof, chicken- Proof, rabbit-proof and dog-proof | fence. Sixth, the garden shuld not be shaded by buildings or trees, but should be exposed to full sunlight. . Where to Plant Permanen crops like asparagus and rhubarb should be located at jone side where they will be out of the way of plowing and cultivating. Berries and other small fruits should also be placed at one side. Crops requiring considerable space, such as potatoes, sweet corn, melons, pumpkins and squashes, can often be grown to best advantage in one of the cultivated fields; for example, a block of ground in the corn or cotton field can be set aside for these crops, the rows made to conform to those of the corn or cotton, and the garden crops cultivated at the same time the field crops are worked.

Editor of The Tribune: On the front page of your issue of March 21 there was a long article headed “Churchmen Favor Birth Control by Married Couples—Federal Council Backs Careful and Restrained Use of Contraceptives.” When the federal council of the churches of Christ gives some de- cision on important matters, one may expect something similar to the council of the Apostles at Jerusalem, who introduced their decision with the words: “It has seemed good to the Holy Ghost and tous,” Acts 15:28. “But when one reads that 27 Prot- estant churches were represented and that this decision represents their judgment alone, it looks quite differ- ent.

Tribune. fairly know, though it is something nasty of which the Apostle says that it should not even be named by Christians. © ‘When it is specially mentioned that Mrs, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as @ member of said Council of the Churches of Christ voted for birth control, “progressive” religious people may be pleased that said Council of the Churches of Christ has made “lots of progress” since the days of St. Paul who commanded that “wom- ‘an shall be silent in the church.” But “old fashioned” Christians, like the decision of the Council of the Churches of Christ with the teaching of Jesus Christ Himself who spoke some very impressive words regard- ing the dignity of the children. “Woe unto. him who scandalizes one of these little ones” etc., “for their angels seethe fac:of My Father who is in heaven.” Matth. 18:2. ‘How much more woe to those mar- tied people who refuse, by artificial means, to let their children come into existence; hinder the creation of im- mortal souls who are destined to see God and be infinitely happy forever in heaven. Christ's word: “Who receives one of these little ones, re- ceives me; whatever you do to one ‘Of these little ones, you do to me,” have from the days of Christ till now always been a guiding star to Chris- tian married people. They have giv- en courage and joy, when God blessed. them with: «a numerous family; they have given to father and mother & great supe natural dignity, and a true mutual love, all grounded and in the love of Christ Himself. On the other side, birth control by mar- ried people has nearly always been the cause of selfishness, of lack or loss of mutual love among themselves, ed of deep rooted mutual dis- like among married people and the destruction of the family by divorce.

Unlike other tumor remedies this serum is harmless to living tissues except cancer. These discoveries and their possi- bilities for experimenting with can- cer in man are told in the April is- sue of the American Journal of can- cer by Thomas Lumsden, M. D., di- rector of the London laboratory. The serum comes from animals inoculated with cancer. It is ‘tested upon cells of cancer, of heart, kid- ney and other body tissues growing artificially outside of living beings. A start has been made in testing it up- on living animals, a few rats having been cured of cancer, and others made immune. Non-Toxic To Normal Cell “Animals,” Dr. Lumsden says, “are capable of forming anti-bodies having t specifically lethal effect upon mal- ignant tumor cells of any variety, but which are non-toxic to normal cells.” Whatever these protective anti- bodies are, human cancers also possess them. Dr. Lumsden reports. “Perhaps the most specifically anti- malignant of all the sera tested is the a | anti-serum obtained from a sheep which has been repeatedly inoculated with human cancer and human breast tissue. When this anti-serum is ap- plied to mouse cancer in vitro (in a glass dish) it kills them (the cancer cells)—they are dead within five minutes.” What the human protective princi- Fle can do for animals, the latter can do for humans. As an example Dr. Lumsden tells of inoculating a rabbit with mouse cancer and putting it in human oreast cancer cells ee ‘a glass dish. Are Observations only “It causes the death of these can- cer cells,” says Dr. Lumsden. He warns that these experiments “should be regarded as giving only useful ob- servations.” Showing how much more effective the sera are than other remedies, Dr. Lumsden says: “To every other damaging agency, heat, toxins, gamma rays (radium) etc.—tested, these cancer cultures are definitely more resistant than the normal tissue. Thus if the mixed cultures are subjected to ultra-violet rays the kidney carpet (kidney cells growing artificially) is killed by 10 minutes exposure, the heart culture by 20 to 30 minutes; while 60 to 80 minutes is required to kill cancer cells.” One of these sera, he says, “should be. an excellent reagent with which to attempt the treatment of cancer in man,” but the serum must be in- Jected into the tumor as it is not effective when thrown into the gen- eral circulation.

Thé temperature for the winter months was 20 ‘above normal and the ground was bare most of the time over a large part of the state. One might suppose that many birds which ordinarily go farther south would remain with us, but this was not observed tobe true. The Christ- nas census gave approximately the same results ‘as the year before. Mild Weather, moreover, might prevent the arrival of the usual winter visitors from the north. Neither snowy owls nor redpolls have been common, though both have been seen. Stories of robins remaining all win- ter have been current. This may mean that the occasional ones which fail to migrate in the fall were able to survive, better than ‘usual. The weather has been about normal for the first half of March, and at this Gate there is no of birds appearing unusually early.
