C-, Aug. 28.— In pointing out the necessity of the strict enforcement of the restricted immig:ation laws, Commissioner General cf Immigration, Harry E. Hull, po'nte<j eat the benefits that the country has obtained from those laws and the dangers of laxity in the’r administration. He said in part: “Consider, if you will, the fact that ihe total population of the Unit ed Staffs in 1920 was. 108,444,000, and that during the following seven years up to the present t'me, that population has increased approxi mately 12.000,000, of which te*':al number approximately 43,000,000 persons are gainfully employed in the nation’s industries. “Then visualize, had restrictive immigration not been in effect, the addition of 8,000,000 aliens who would have absorbed a large part of our substance, competed with our American workmen lowered wages, and menaced our sc*-ial * standards; and you will realize that the quota piovision imdeii restricted immigra tion has been the sav’or of our na tional life. “How necessary it is, especially in times cf unemployment distress, that our own wage earners shall have the first prefextence in creating and en joying Our own great national wealth. The chief sources of this wealth are found in manufacturing and agricul ture. It would have been into these two groups into which the bulk of the excessive immigrant classes would have been absorbed. “Their scientific restriction along just and human lines is one of the noteworthy results of cur national wisdom, i'g’slatively exercised through Congress. Cheap labor is the parent of cheap and undesirable citizenship and widespread national distress. “Even in the midst of our greatest prosperity we cannot afford to havo Such a considerable element of the population withheld from the virtues of assimilation and citizenship. On the whole, the immigration problem is a matter df citi «xnship and projec tion to labor with us. “It must net be found, when American patriotism is demanded, that it is partially submerged be neath the burdensome principles of foreign autocrats. We cannot per mit the entrance of those who wil seek to tear down that which our forefathers so sacredly established. Am everlasting citizenship which shall be full erf the faith of independ ence and freedom in government— God-fearing, liberty-loving, right eous c tizenship—must be our aim and forevermore.” txt Educational En dowments Over A Billion Dollars WASHINGTON, D. C Auj 28.— Endowments for all types of schools in the United States in 1928 .exceeded $1,000,000,000 as reported recently by the Bureau of Education, Depart- m r "rt of the I. terior. The total valuation of *aii school pr oerty in that the report* was apprbbrimaf.rfy $8,- 123,085,472 and the grand total of enrel’ments ‘n all types of schools was about 31,037,736. The total amount of endowment", reported by Cure” For Brown Patch On Lawns Worse Than Disease Bordeaux mixture sprayed or dust ed on lawns and golf greens has been used foi* several years to check at tacks of the d'sease known as large brown patch. Recent observations, according to the United States De partment of Agriculture, have shown year, according to that the copper in Bordeaux mixture accumulates in the soil, and ultimate ly causes more sericas damage than the disease. Fdr that reason the use of Bordeaux mixture is now being discouraged by the department. The most effective chemicals at schools in 1926 is as follows: Colleges and universities, $987,012,929; teach- present used fee* controlling ex s colleges and no mal schools, $19,-! diseases are those containing 425,113; private high schools and cury. Among those most commonly academic", $67» 151,000; which make a total of $1,061,589,042.

Teacher-training institut'ons. has been found to be the case with including endowments, have a total valuation of $202,630 512, and col leges and universities of $2,334,307,- 42L If the private elementary schools have property valued at as much as $400,000,000, this would make a total vah^x for these institu tions of $8,125,085,475 for grounds, buildings, contents and productive funds. In thi s same year the States re ported 256,104 public-school build ings. A t6tal <." 215,439 of those are designated as elementary school buildings, and 9,538 as high-school buildings. There a:«' approximately 21,700 public high schools, 3500 private h'gh schools, 386 preparatory depart ments of colleges, and 125 secondary depar.nents U’ teachcij,Gaining in stitution?,' The teache:-training in stitutions number 402, of which num ber 101 arc teachers colleges, 102 state m- mai schools, 27 city normal schoolri 108 county normal schools, and 64 private normal schools. The colleges and universities number 975, of wh’ch number 153 am junior col leges. As these figures are read the vast ness of the educational activities in this country are realized to some ex- Vnt and it is obvious that the need 0-? a Department of Education with a Secretary in the President’s Cabi net to furnish information and con duct research as to the best methods of administrat'on is a vital one.

Brown ax'eas are usually evidence of diseases caused by fungi penetrat ing the grass blades and killing them Large brown patch usually covers a: area of 2 or mere feet in diameter whereas small brown patch seldom becomes larger than a silver dollar, hence its common name, “dolla: spot.” Large brown patch usually occurs i n July and August, but smali bi'own patch can develop at much lower temperatures and often be comes injurious in late spring or early fall as well as during the sum mer months. Much of the damage by these dis eases can be prevented by care in the applicat'on of water and fertilizers. Plenty of available plant food, es- pec ally nitrogen, is important in aiding grass to recover from the dis- ease f but excessive fertilization tends to make turf “soft” and more susceptible. Likewise a I'beral use of water keeps the turf growing rap idly, but excessive quantities make it more liable to injury. Since mois- ture on the blades of grass makes conditions favorable for the disease- producing fungi, evening watering, poor air circulation, shade, or other means of fa voting prolonged cover ing with dew all tend to increase the likelihood of injury by brown.patch In many cases it is possible to water the turf in the morning during hot hum d weathe/ and otherwise so modify conditions that brown-patch injury will be reduced. •JXI To buy new living room furniture 4 * for your home at your expense would cost how much?

Aug. 28.— The extension work of the Federal • Governmixnt in the field cf rural ed ucation costs' approximately 'one-- tenth r-f the amount, advanced for Federal aid in road building, the Di rector cf Extension Work, Depart ment of Agriculture, C. W. Warbur- ton, estimated. Dr. Warburton explained that each State and Hawaii now receives $30 - CC0 annually without requirement that the State match this sum with additional appropriations. The re mainder of the fund is divided among the States in proportion to the ruial population, and with the add.^d pro viso that the State must provide an equal amount of money for extension work in order to qualify for the ap prepriation. (Total sum provided for the extension work by Federal Government is about $7,000,000.) Actually, thp States, c.i the average, do much more than match Federal funds. Fo- the current year State appropriations were nearly double Federal appropriations. Comparing the expenditures for extension work with other activities, Director Warburton noted that the Government spent approximately ten times as much in aid of roads. Ex tension activities cost at the rate cf about $1 for each three persons on farms or about seven cents per capita for the whole ^ population. This amounts to one-twentieth of /the value of farm equipment purchased in 1927, and to about one-fifth of one per cent c*f the value of last year’s crop. txt Supreme Court Justice Cheney, of Syracuse, New York, presided at the fifty-ninth annual convocation of the Council of Deliberation of the An cient and Accepted Scottish Rite of that State.

'Thus the amount spent on the highways alone exceeds the ent're appropriations of the United States Government in that, day when Thomas B. Reid Speaker of the House of Represen tatives, met the Complaints of the people because Cdngxrss had appro priated more than a billioi dollars to carry on the Government for a year, with the retort: “This ir; a billior dollar country!” The total mileage of highways of all types to be consti'ueted by th~ various States duxing 1928 totals nearly 31,000,000 miles. txt Cornstalk Tests Indicate Fertilizer Needs Of Plants Visitors To National Parks On The Increase WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 28.— A mid-summer check of travel to the national parks and monuments just made by the Department of the Interior indicates an increase of a hundred thousand over the same per iod last year. By the lend of July a total of 1,- 492,120 visitors had been reported to the national parks and monuments administered by the department^, as against 1,388,928 at the close of July, 1927. The national park travel sea son ends September 30 of each year, and it is expected that August and the Labor Day week-end will add considerably to the increase. Travel to the national pa’-k and monument system last year reached the record- breaking total of 2,797,820 people. There is a possibility that it may this year touch the fl 000,000 mark.

When a field of corn appears to be in unthrifty condition the farmer would like t r .i know wily. If the corn does not get the proper plant food £ om the so 1 the farmer would hke to know what is lacking. Tests have been devised by which farmers can gain considerable informaticn as tc such conditions. “The plant foods which are defici ent most frequently in fields in the Corn Belt are nitrogen, pc^ass'um, or phosphorus salts,” says George N. Hoffer, of the United States Dc paitrncnt of Agriculture. “Corn plar.tr, growing under scil conditions of nitrogen starvation display a yel lowish green to 1 yellov color of the leaves and stalks. By splitting open a cornstalk and applying to the tis sues a few drops of a solution of dip- hcnylam ne in concentrated sulphuric acid the presence of reserve nitrates in these tissues is indicated by the appearance of a blue color. The absence of the desirable reserve ni trates is indicated by no color change. No change in cClor and the yellowish leaves indicates nitrogen staiwat’on and the need for a furth er supply for corn health and good y leds. If the potassium supply is inade quate, the- leaves are likely to fire at the edges, plants die prematurely, .ard the ears tend to be chaffy and starchy. To test this, split a stalk and apply a few drops of 10 per cent solution of potassium thiocyanate to* the joint tissue and then add a few drops of dilute (1 to ^*2) hydro- chloric acid. If the joint is dis colored it shows an accumulation of iron in the plant, and this is a n in dication of potassium starvation. If co"n plants are stunted and do not show symptoms of either nitro gen or potassium starvation, then a lack of phosphorus is probable. There is nr. simple chemical test for this condition. Phosphorus deficiencies are most likely in soils strongly acid .n reaction. If the soil is acid, it in creases the probability of the diag nosis of lack of phosphorus. “The stalk tests,” says Doctor Hoffer “serve well to indicate the lim.ting plant foods for best growth THE DISTRICT COURT THE UNITED STATES For The Western District Of South Carolira.
