By reason of its contro verted "pocket" veto the Norris Morin resolution for disposal of Muscle Shoals stands out promi nently among matters likely to come before the seventieth con gress in December. Generally all bills introduced during the recent session and not acted upon before adjournment j will have at the opening of the short session in December the sta tus to which they were entitled when congress adjourned on May 29. The Mascle Shoals measure, however, Is saddled with complex ities. Passed by the house sad senate, ft went to the president. There it ley without comment from Mr. Coolidge, and -when the time in which'the chief sxscative has to sign or veto bills expired, the NorTis-Morin resolution had still so recognition. Its enemies proclaimed a "pocket" veto, but proponents will not have It so. They raise a point of coastitation ality and demaad specific action. It is understood they wtll take their fight to the United States supreme court when it is recon vened. Some hold the short session will revive the issue, fought consist ently by the power interests and fertiliser manufacturers. .Broadly speaking, the government, corpor ation created by the resolution would be givea $10.O.0OO a ad authorised to utilise the property at Muscle Shoals for experimental purposes in connection with the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and for conducting other experl ntents in the manufacture of fer tiliser. Too, it would be author ised to sell under terms more ad vantageous to the government surplus power generated at the plants. At preseat the Alabama power company is the only concern hav ing physical connection with the plant at Mascle Shoals, aad It has been purchasing from the govern ment all the power generated at the plant at. a rate of two mills per .kilowatt hoar. This, congress was told.

SALEM IS THE CENTER OF THE HOP GROWING (CeatiaMd tvm pas 16) boos are replacing them with Ger man hops, bought at low prices, so that they can afford to anload American hops and take the loss. The KnrlLsli Crisis The Kentish Observer is good authority on the English hop sit uation. The Issue of that paper for May 24 has a lot to say about the crisis in the hop industry over there. After the -end of the con trol, in 1225. came the imposition of the tariff (18 cots a pound, in American money), and the organ isation of the English growers in eoonerative association, called the English Hop Growers.

There -lava- a great effort be ing aaade tet the oatside xrow- 4 era to join the "Society." but with little or no headway being made. "This state of things." says the Kentish Observer, "threatens to ultimately wreck the Society un less the outside growers will aban don their attitude of Isolation, aad promote the necessary unity by joining the Society." That paper goea oa to say that "unless they do so the hop Industry will prob ably have to face the most severe crisis it has ever experienced. Mr. Ouinness, the great English brewer, minister of agriealture, has appealed to the outside grow ers, in terms as strong as the Eng lish language will permit, but to Salem in Center of (eonttaned) little effect. So have members of parliament and other leaders. Some of the leaders have rrVr red to the crisis of 1908, whea 50,009 hop growers and pickers from Kent, Sussex. Hampshire, Worcestershire, London. Hereford shire, and Staffordshire marched in a procession three miles long to Trafalgar Square, in the city of London, and with the spectators, made up a meeting of 100,000 peo ple, demanding a tariff oa hops, in order to save the Industry In thst country. These leaders say that a aimila-' crisis, or worse, impends now. If the leaders cannot stem, the tide. they insist, the hop industry of old England will be destroyed. The Krfect Here What all this is going to do to the American hop prices, or at kast to the British demand for a part of the American surplus of hops, no one can say. The American protective tariff iuty on hops is 24 cents a pound: 'top extract, 22.40 a pound; lupu 'in. 7S cents a pound. So it will be observed that w 'iave a tariff wall for the defeat if our growers that is falrl- high 3ur growers may not be hart much y the English debacle of the hop ndustry. if It shall come, except ng in the curtailment of the Eng ish demand for American hops Vad in the end, if it rhould be a ad as the leaders over there pre :iet that it may be, there are pot, lbilitles of benefits to accrue tc ur growers. Our growers can pro !uce hops at a lower cost than th Cnelish growers can furnish them The English growers cannot go. or tnless they can get above 40 eentr i pound for their hops. The con -lusions under the last heading 'The Effect Here." are not those it Mr. Cornoyer. They are the con lusions of the editor.

It used to be the practice to squeeze honey out of the comb and strain it. From this practice came the use of tbe term "strained honey." for honey, so removed from tbe comb, had to be strained to give it a saleable appearance. Probably no commercial beekeep er in the United States now em ploys this crude method, as it is too costly and slow.
