produced increasing Indications
that Congress was only fooling
when it showed signs earlier this
year of hitting the economy trail
to avoid additional taxes or an
increase in the public debt limit.
Almost the last vestige of the
reductions voted by the House or
Senate previously tn President
Roosevelt’s budget estimates was
offset when a Senate appropria
tions subcommittee added $44,-
150.000 to a House-approved ap
propriation lor civil functions of
the War Department. Of this in
crease $30,000,000 was for gen
eral flood control work and $14,-
150.000 to start construction of
a third set of giant locks at the
Panama Canal.
More Belief Pumls Urged
Possibly heralding further set
backs to come for the economy
forces, appeals lor Increased re
lief funds were heard on the
House side of the Capitol.
Representative (jochran (D),
Mo., saying that the W’PA had
cut its rolls to 2.100,000 for
April by lopping off 200,000 per
sons employed in March, propos
ed a supplemental relief appropri
ation of $38,000,000 for the cur
rent fiscal year. He said Colonel
C. Harrington, the WPA com
missioner, had advised him that
this amount would be needed, in
addition to the $1,477,000,000 al
ready voted the work relief ad
ministration tor the current year,
if the rolls were to Ue kept at the
present level until the year-end
—June 30.
“The cities and states say they
will be unable to carry any addi
tional load.” Cochran declared.
(To stay within appropriations,
WPA has been cutting its rolls.
The aim has been to bring the
rolls down to about 1,500,000 by
June 30—a cut of roughly 700,-
000 as compared with the total
of project workers on March 20.
Harrington has set the April quo
ta of' jobs at 2.120,000, and he
said today that he had made no
finaJ decisions on exact figures
for May and June.)

Timely Farm Question
Question: What is the nature
of. and the control for. the rust
which often atlack.s leaves and
fruit of apples?
Answer: Rust is one ot the
oddest diseases affecting the ap
ple. The para.site which causes
this disease .spends part of Us life
cycle on the apple and part on thfe
common red cedar tree. The pres
ence of both of these plants is
essential to the existence of the
rust parasite. Elimination of the
red cedar trees for a distance of
one-half mile or more from the
brlicard is the only practical
method of controlling apple rust.
