i IN.WASHINGTON I
WHAT
i
IS
TAKING
PLACE
BY
One topic of general speculation
in Washington at present is the
date for the adjournment of the >
Seventy-fifth Congress. There is ;
wide-spread desire that Congress
should speedily complete the busi
ness on hand and adjourn, but as
to the exact date ? one person's !
estimate is about as good as an
other person's forecast.
Democratic leaders have tenta
"?^vely scheduled the close of this
session between June 4 and June
20. The consensus of opinion i
among newspapermen, political I
commentators and the public as a
whole is that this Congress has
seriously endeavored to solve thel
problems that face the Nation.
The programs adopted during
the current session will be tried
out, naturally, prior to the con
vening of the Seventy-sixth Con
gress which bids fair to be an
other eventful session.
And whatever may come in the
way of revision of existing pro
grams and policies, it is already
apparent that Congress will study
and appraise its legislative work
with the greatest of care. Events
abroad will also have an impor
tant bearing on the next session
of Congress.
With it all, there is almost un
animous conclusion that some de
finite things must be done. One
is to relieve the farmer and the
trosiness? raanr- small and large,
from burdensome and too detailed
reports to the Federal Govern
ment. Already the President has
directed the Central Statistical
Board to make a survey and deter
mine the nature, duplication and
diversity of reports now required.
Business concerns, the village
storekeeper, and merchant, as well ,
as the big manufacturer, are now
finding it increasingly costly and
troublesome to comply with all the
requests from Governmental units
for statistical data of all types.
These requests have greatly multi
plied in recent years.
Another thing that must be
done is to give serious considera
tion to elimination of duplicate
taxes. The tendency of the Con
gress to have more debate on all
legislative proposals is indicative
of the desire to weigh carefully
all new legislative items and1 to
proceed1 cautiously in revising and
amending existing laws. Supreme
Court opinions are now having the
effect of clarifying these policies.
This, the third session of the
75th Congress, has indeed been
a most interesting and eventful
session, and matters of utmost im
portance to the American people
have been before the Congress
constantly since the opening of
the session in January.

Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION: When should the
poultry laying flock be culled?
ANSWER: This, of course, de
pends upon laying conditions and
the period of molt. The flock
should be \yatahed carefully dur
ing the early summer and when
production falls below thirty per
cent it is time to start culling.
The earlier the molt, the more
rigid the culling. The bird that<
has been properly fed and goes
into a molt in June. July, or even
August should be removed from
the flock. The price of feed, the
feed cost per dozen eggs, and the
?>rice that eggs are bringing should
also be considered when culling.
I
QUESTION: Should tobacco
plant beds be plowed up after the
plants are pulled?
ANSWER: By al! means. The
beds should be plowed and all re
maining plants killed as these
plants furnish breeding placet for
thousands of insects that spread
to the tobacco in the field and
cause serious damage to the grow
ing weed. Then, too, failure to
plow Ohe bed may result In a seri
ous outbreak of blue mold next
year. The bed should be seeded
to sweet potatoes or some other
garden vegetable immediately af
ter plowing.
QUESTION: When is the best
Itime for seeding the fall garden?
! ANSWER: This depends upon
the hardiness of tJie different
'vegetables and upon the time re
| quired for maturity. Tender vege
tables should be planted in time
to produce a crop before killing
frosts occur. Many of the cool
1 season crops will mature through
light frosts, but most of them
I should be planted in time to reach
maturity before' the heavy frosts.
A table giving planting dates for
seasonal vegetables is given in Ex
tension Circular 122 and this may
be obtained free upon applicat-ion
to the Agricultural Editor at
State College.

ROTENONE CONTROLS It
UNWELCOME BEETLES '
t
The Mexican bean beetle is '
again making its unwelcome an- c
nual visit to thousands of Nort'h
Carolina bean fields.
To control this insect, J. O.
Kowell, extension entomologist at '
State College, is recommending 1
that growers use rotenone eit-her a
as a spray 01? as a dust.
Gardeners who are equipped to ?
dust will find the three-fourths
of one per cent rotenone dust
satisfactory. It is highly important
that the dust be applied to the j
underside of the leaves. Cara
should be taken to obtain a
thorough and uniform coverage of
all the foliage.
For snap and bush beans, t'he
rate of application should vary
between 15 and 20 pounds to the
acre. The application rate on pole
beans will depend on the size of
the plants.
Dusting should be started when
I beetles are found on the beans,
or when egg masses become nuin
jerous 011 t'he underside of the
leaves. From one to four applica
tions are necessary, depending 011
| the prevalence of the insects.
Rotenone dust mixtures should
not be used in a spray unless the
label on the package indicates
that a diluent has been used which
will mix readily with water.
When a spray is used, Rowel 1
recommends finely ground derris
or cube root containing 4 per cent
rotenone at a dosage of 1 %
pounds in 50 gallons of water. If
small amounts are desired, he ad
vises 1 H ounces in 3 gallons of
water.
The usual rate of application
is 90 to 100 gallons to the acre.
As with the dust1, it is necessary
bat the applications be made unl
ormly and thoroughly and that
he spray reach the underside of
he leaves. Repeat every 4 or 5
lays until control Is obtained.
