The bureau of plant Industry has had a farm here near the town of Woodward for many years, and has studied such crops as grain sorghums, broom corn, forage sorghums, cow peas, alfalfa, rye for the prevention of soil The most reliable and profitable method for curing sick poultry Is the hatchet. At least that seems to have been the experience of a large number o f commercial poultry raisers. They find that It does not pay to spend much time or money in trying to bring a sick fowl back to health. One reason Is that It takes considerable time, durlqq which the bird will not be laying, and another is that a sick bird Is always a menace to thd rest of the flock. How ever, in spite of the efficiency o f the hatchet as a cure, It Is not good busi ness to he careless-Just because such Auxiliary Naval Craft in Time of War AVAI, officials are urging that 1‘resldent Harding and the ship ping hoard, In submitting a ship subsidy program to congress, develop a scheme which will encourage the construction and maintenance of ves sels which can be used as auxiliary naval craft In time of war.

The American merchnnt marine Joint committee, In Its recommenda tions submitted to the ship subsidy conference, held under the auspices o f the shipping board, urged that the subsidy be paid under the Onlllnger plan of so much a gross ton a year, and that the faster passenger ships be encouraged by means of a postal sub vention.
